My band played a club one night and Chuck was sitting at the bar. Coincidentally we always opened every show with Johnny B. Goode. As we started playing the song Chuck finished his drink and left. I joked to my band mates, "Man, we really impressed him!"
😅🤣😂Great story. Thanks for sharing!
Great story - fits nicely with his reputation for being a thoroughly miserable so-and-so!!
So Chuck was really Chester the Molester
@@jimmysapien9961 '' I joked to my band mates,''
Hahahaha great story, he played Johnny B Goode, in D flat. In A maj it has more depth, but Chuck makes it sound good in any key. You probably almost lured him, but he is big headed so he left. So I think you impressed him. I played Bass for him once, and some young kid begged to play drums, he walked over to me and told me to tell that drummer he wanted some clean breaks. As soon as the song started, he skidded to a stop, and faced the young drummer, and told him get off the drums. Poor guy was shamed to death, so another bands drummer said he can do it, and he did, so the show was on, he does not tell you the chords, he just will say the song title and take off, you have to slide down the neck until you hit the key, usually E-D-B flats. Anyway thanks for sharing I love honest pride.
I don't know about most of it but that Fender strap on a Gibson is madness
As a dedicated Stratocaster man myself, that was possibly the most troubling part of the video for me. 🤣
Somethings belie common sense.
I need therapy now...
That should have been a red flag
Strap was most likely free.
Chuck Berry is the closest thing to a real life version of the Chapelle Show skit on Rick James. J. Brown also was a really sleazy individual as well.
I bet if we could peek behind the curtain of the secret lives of all his rock-star peers we would find that his behavior wasn't that uncommon.
Facts, ask def leppard lol.
Based on what special knowledge? Just as likely, just as many choose to lead uneventful lives- within their means, within the parameters of the law. Being a doped-up, tax-evading, high-rolling, skirt-chasing rake comes with a lot of drawbacks.
@@unassistedsuicide2243 I'm not defending him. I'm just saying most of the "rock-stars" you might admire are likely to be just as bad in most ways. That's just my personal judgement call based on publicly available information, no special knowledge required.
@@Jonjzi Robert Plant was similar, and Elvis was too, Lemmy wrote a song called Jail Bait about the dangers posed by groupies who might turn out to be underaged on the other hand...
Humanity unfettered often has a darker side.
Sad to say we played on the same bill twice with Chuck years ago. He was interested in getting paid in cash and getting gone quickly. He smoked, drank and was quite nasty to all. It's totally true that he didn't care what group played with him and he could be angry and harsh to them right during a performance. He just started playing and you had better be on it right away or else. Too bad for all the fans to finally know how he really was. His poor wife that stuck with him all those years.
I visited Blueberry Hill a few weeks ago. Read a quote from Chuck that said, "I don't come here for the music, I come here for the wings." I knew he wasn't being cute, but rather honest!
He made Keef cry
"My dingaling my dingaling I want you to play with my dingaling"
Chuck Berry
"Those of you who will not sing - you must be playing with your own dangling." 🤣
Ha! Before AC/DC double meaning lyrics, there was Chuck Berry. But I think that was the only dirty song he ever did. I think that The Steve Miller band was his back up band when that live version was popular on the radio. A bell.....indeed 🛎 😂
@@erniebuchinski3614 yep
I never knew Chuck had all those issues. I just enjoyed his music and appreciated his contribution to rock and roll.
I’ve heard this before .
@@jimmysapien9961
If you like his tunes enjoy it,
Don't worry bout his personal life
Also minding bout your own business it's cool 😎
I don't like scumbags bad mouthing the king of rock and roll Chuck Berry !
We don't Like The King of
Rock Being a Scumbag.
@@christophermclaughlin8917 Oh so you are one of those who is so smart you're known as a smart ass huh ?
I love Chuck’s music, he was a rock and roll genius. But I don’t like scumbags who hide cameras in a women’s bathroom, or use their fame to take advantage of minors.
Berry was in prisons three times. You left out his two and a half years for armed robbery.
Despite being a wierd dude and a rough cut cat, he is probably one of the greatest pioneers of modern rock.
modern rock?
@@lennon1482
Yes, modern meaning sometime after the 50s... when distortion and fast lead riffs were being emplemented..so yeah, he was a big influence on modern rock, I hope that makes sense, and I believe thats what the original post meant.
You still hear Berry's licks in guitar solos today.
No mention of Jerry Lee, Wyman, Glitter & a cpl hundred other rock stars tastes?
He was a pioneer of Rock & Roll.
I am a HUGE FAN of Chuck Berry but I have a really hard time believing the same guy that wrote "My Dingaling" also wrote "You Never Can Tell", "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man", "Little Queenie" or "Sweet Little 16".
If you want a black rocker to admire from it's earliest days, and without ANY of the trash and baggage that seemed to plague so many of the others, give Fats Domino a listen. Never heard the first negative thing about Fats, ever. He lived a clean life and was devoted to his wife and children, it wasn't an act.
He attacked Keith Richard when Richard touched Berry’s guitar.
Chuck Berry's biggest hit, according to Keith.
Ronnie HAIG , rockabilly singer, was at a studio in Chicago and found a black guy playing his $300 ES 290. He said, be careful that’s an expensive guitar. Turns out it was Chuck b
Awesome video Mike! He was quite the character... and he did write a song called... "My Dingaling"... I don't think it was about a dinner bell! He was definitely one of a kind... Chuck's Berries... and all! He broke all the rules he could... and the "authorities" did everything they could to try and destroy him for helping create the "Devil's" music... Rock N Roll! A walking contradiction... if you believe everything they said he did... he was one bad as rockin' dude!
Chuck, the original rock and roller. What do Rock and rollers do? All that and more, just read Hammer of the Gods.
rock and rollers do cp? man what in the hell
@@patinhoquackquack8655 Alot of very famous rock stars had relationships that would make you uncomfortable. Like Jimmy Page, David Bowie and Steven Tyler. But this is kind of extreme.
This is what haps when one had great talent, but not enough Bible foundation to walk corcumspectly.
@@ralphowen3367
🐂💩
@Ralph Owen lol..sure. So how about all of those tens of thousands of SUPER BIBLE TRAINED priests, rabbis, and other clergy men raping little boys and girls since the inception of the dogmatic, foolish practice of MAN MADE religion?? Seems to me that your "religion" has a HUGE hand in letting these p.o.s. move from one parish to another, to simply rape again. Man made religion is the true scourge of our society.
It's always struck me as odd that people tend to expect that accomplishment in any artistic endeavour means someone will be free from the foibles and nastier aspects of human behaviour. Artists are just as capable of being crappy people as anyone else.
nope. we are not talking about faulty human behavior. we are talking about pedophilia, child pornography, voyeurism and a list of criminal actions. together with, yeah, a crappy human being when not busy breaking the law.
@@angeltcmusic1 Did you even read what I wrote? I referred to "the foibles and nastier aspects of human behaviour", not "faulty human behavior". I would class all the things to which you refer as being covered under the nastier aspects of human behaviour. You appear to be trying to pick an argument out of nothing.
@@laurieharper1526 😄
I had my suspicion’s when he did “My Dingaling”.
"The balls to show Chucks berries" WTF LOL
While I do NOT condone his Sexual stuff, it's just the same as many great Rockers.....Bill Wyman for instance. To me, it's their MUSIC that's important. We need to separate the man from the music, or soon there will be no legends left.
Yeah the woke will end us.
That's a funny way of saying "all my heroes turned out to be garbage people."
Ignoring the personal stuff from their music makes it more dangerous and people willing to look the other way.
Ithink his line " My Dingaling , My Dingaling.....want you to play with my Dingaling ! " sums up perfectly the mindset of this Predator !
He wasn’t a predator
What has been seen, can’t be unseen.
“I like to do ‘dat,” is forever etched in my memory.
Johnny P. Good Most people knew about Chuck but because of his talent, looked the other way.
Tha law didn’t
Chuck Berry is a Legend.
Berry was busted in Salem va for trying to peep into women's bathroom. I don't belive he wrote those classic songs he is credited. I belive his piano man wrote them as he claimed in a law suit. I don't belive he is credited any authorship after a certain period, which would indicate he wasn't the prolific writer he'd have you belive he was .
Johnnie Johnson. He filed a lawsuit that was dismissed which is a dam shame. It was Keith Richards that implored him to seek song writing credits.
Johnnie only helped write the music, not the lyrics. Chuck did that.
Pot is no big deal, as long as it isn't done before or during work. (Only drug I ever done, smoked it four different occasions, wasn't for me)And yes, I think that was the only drug Chuck ever done. I don't think he done any other drugs. Afterall, the man lived 90 years! Chuck Berry was one of the first millionaire Rocker rollers. He rather sleep in his car instead of pay for a motel room. He had vices, as many of us do. But I really think his vices were women by the abundance. Lol, I read this stuff about 20 years ago. But I'll bring up something positive to end this text. He gave credit where credit is due. He said his rock character was just a Rosetta Tarpe impression. She ofcourse was a talented ax slider playing in the gospel circuit. Hopefully he found peace 🎸
My cousin played bass and toured as Berry's bass player for 15 years and always got paid.
"Mmmm Can you smell my fart?" - Charles Edward Anderson Berry
This is the man who wrote the lyrics "We boogied in the kitchen
We boogied in the hall
I got somethin' on my finger so I wiped it on the wall"
Wtf
Or how about his song: "My Ding-a-Ling". Listen to it if you haven't ever heard it, tells you all you need to know about what was always on his mind.
Chuck wrote the book on R&R, but he did, in fact, leave a pretty deprived life. Must have troubled his precher father.
Chuck Berry was not a drug user, and didn't drink. The raid on Berry Park was a setup by rural redneck police. ( It was his country retreat, with fishing ponds, swimming pool, and recording studio. His family residence was in a high-end suburb of St. Louis ) Mr. Berry was no angel, but he could be a laid-back, regular guy. He had a sly sense of humor, but did not suffer fools gladly. After his first big tour, he enrolled in night-school and took business courses. It took decades, but he recovered full ownership of his first hit songs. ( He had been forced to share credits as "payola" to disk jockey Allen Freed. ) He also went to court and took 1/2 credit for "Surfing U.S.A.", which is the same song as "Sweet Little Sixteen". Later pressings credit the song to "Brian Wilson and Chuck Berry".
he certainly got the most out of his limited ability as guitar player - He deserves credit for writing some of the most iconic records and served as a forefather for classic rock
guitar - Pretty good for an average guitar player - to say the least
we’re you were beside him his whole life??
@@davidrice3337 "limited"? How many iconic riffs have you written and recorded? How many other guitarists name you as a primary influence?
@@diarian You could read his autobiography, for starters. As it happens, it was an honor to meet him on several occasions, over several decades, both backstage and at Berry Park.
Thanks for educating and reminding us about his notable achievements. I think it's more of an issue that young African Americans don't know who he is or his contributions. That is a much bigger issue for a future video demanding an answer.
So happy to see a CGS video pop up in my notifications. Blimey! I had no idea that Berry was that depraved. I do believe that the work of artists is separate from their creator, but it may be a while before I play any of his stuff again. Cheers Mike, another good one. Happy New Year brother.
Does anyone find it ironic that Chuck had secret cameras set up in the women’s restroom in a restaurant called Southern Air?
Awful to launch a posthumous attack. Everyone is a sinner.
Yep. We`re ALL pirates & whores---irregardless of gender---with different 'trigger sets.'
@Autistic Ghough everyone may indeed be sinners, not everyone is a repugnant CREEP to boot!…
@@jeffkaufman9875 throwing stones at the dead is never a bet I’ll take.
@Autistic That is respectable; that said, the doesn’t mean that the lifestyles and choices of the deceased are beyond consideration or discussion-whether positive or negative…
@@jeffkaufman9875 true, I jthink we shouldn’t be mean or cruel. Life is a classroom. We all make mistakes. In no way am I defending this behavior. Just thinking we should tread lightly when criticizing others once they have passed. Especially when they did contribute so much positive energy into the world. As a Deadhead I probably listen to a version of Promised Land, Round and Round, Johnny B Goode at least twice a week or more.
I have to wonder how much more time he would have done in the slammer if he hadn't been rich and famous, and hadn't been able to grease the right palms. His off-the-meter depravity doesn't take away from his musical contributions. It's nonetheless disheartening to know that someone who was a musical pioneer was also such an utter pervert, who got away with so much only because of his wealth and fame.
I can’t get the image of Chucks Berries out of my head.
****** YES , Chuck Berry was a Great & Superb Rock 'n ' Roll / Rhythm & Blues Artist I & many others had the Pleasure of seeing him in concert.
So what? He was a degenerate and a pedophile.
@@theshamanarchist5441 You’re the biggest degenerate for Lying on a dead man
We all a little fuked up.
Hope you're well Mike! Berry sick person! Thanks
I knew all that stuff years ago. Didn't care then and still don't.
Psychopaths have two sides to their personality, they can be loving family men but also crazy murderer's.
or women.. 😮
And?
I'm surprised by all the incredulous commenters. I thought this was common knowledge and that everybody knew what Chuck was into.
Especially with the internet, etc....S C A R Y 👉🧠👈
For a pervert he sure could rock'n'roll
Oh there you go, makes it all better.
Taking carefully arranged photos of women taking a crap is rather unseemly..but putting a Fender strap on that Gibson borders on insanity.
So-so musician who came along with his guitar at the right time. Also, a terrible human being who messed with everyone in his circle, including his bandmates and other musicians. Not to mention being a convicted armed robber as well!
Wouldn't be surprised if a number of classical composers had some type of issues. Artists, painters, authors , musicians (including my half assed self) all seem to. Probably some psycho thing about creativity taking a negative aspect 🤷♂️
Self report???

So good to see you Mike! My thoughts and blessings to you and your family! Hope you had the best of Christmases and New Years! I was somewhat aware of his foibles and failures as well as his incredible accomplishments. But this video certainly fills in the picture!
Mike its really nice to see you doing well . hang in there my friend
Thoughts and Prayers always for you and family my friend. Very happy to see you back. Wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year. You always give us excellent videos.
Chuck Berry = Rock ‘n Roll. No Chuck ? No rock. It’s pretty simple. We all have issues for crying out loud. 😎🇨🇦🎸
bull crap....ever hear of howlin wolf
Greatest lyricist of the rock n roll era. “ two three the count , with nobody on, he hit a high fly into the stands, rounding third he was headed for home, it was a brown eyed handsome man , ( that was the game) it was a brown eyed handsome man.
Dude was a real creep to put it lightly. Just because he plays a guitar don't mean he wasn't a jkoff
He had a unique riff but was hardly a good guitar player.
It’s disheartening that so many artists use their trade as an excuse for awful behavior. Nobody ever said a bad word about Doc Watson, Leo Kottke or Rory Gallagher.
Great to see you again been a while, keep strong, my thoughts are with you.👍
So glad you've brought this up, I keep saying it and it's just like ignored
I’m willing to bet that most rock star men from that generation did the same thing. Gerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Page to name a couple and 90% of groupies were girls in their early teens.
I don't care...he is on the Mount Rushmore of rock and roll.
Also, CB never paid his bills. I knew lots of friends that worked for him, and his was all talk. He was a classic tight wad who thought the world owed him a living.
He was a poor Black kid born in 1920's St. Louis...... he was owed EVERYTHING after a life like that lol, in THIS very video, he was chased by a mob over a KISS, and HE WAS CHARGED for it lmao...the world owed him more, i'd say.
@@submissivelover He was a bum who bounced checks on the workers he relied on the shovel his driveway and mow his lawn. He treated the hired help like they were lower than scum - which is probably why he never had a full time band in his life. Instead, his backing band was in his appearance contract: “To be supplied by promoter.” As such, His live shows were always hit or miss, and when they missed? They were atrocious.
@@malcolmbliss777 He was one of the pioneers of one of the most important and recognizable music genres, this nation owes him a great debt because of the discrimination, poverty, and racism he was subjected to his entire life.
A pain and fear you can never and will never be able to understand or relate to. He's bad for exploiting and mistreating workers but Walmart isn't? I think this nation is culpable in creating someone like him. The Chickens came home to roost as they say. You think calling young boys the N word and hate groups chasing him down creates upstanding business men?
@@submissivelover So what? He didn’t invent rock. I’m just saying his manners were FAR from what falls under “common decency” - and I’ve know famous people. Cb is without a doubt one of the rudest pervert tight wads I’ve ever known.
@@malcolmbliss777 would he deserve to mistreat people if he invented Rock?
Being impolite isn't illegal, and yeah what a shame, Chuck could have been a polite Pervert, like Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis haha
So glad to see you Mike!!!!!!!😀👍
Chuck got busted for installing cameras in the ladies bathrooms of restaurants he owned in Florida
Hey brother! Good to see you man. I enoyed this. WOW! And I thought I had issues..... I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! Take care.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. I really wished I hadn't watched this.
I kinda agree. Guys dead, what’s the point to knowing?

@@citizenGman your poor grammar makes it hard to understand you
Hi Mike! Great video and quite disturbing. It's great to see you, you look great. God bless, brother.
I'll never forget afternoon TV show, mid 70s (either Merv Griffin or Mike Douglas) had Berry on: "we boogied in the kitchen, we boogied in the hall, she boogied on my finger so I wiped it on the wall". He even motioned with his tongue and finger. The producers did not seem to know what he meant. I did. I was eleven. Saw him at the Ontario Place Forum two summers later. He could still do the duck walk. Man knew how to work a crowd. Too bad about the perv-cam. He tarnished his legacy.
Really shouldn't surprise anyone.
Yes, heard a lot of those perverted stories for years. Great musical talent but a very sick man.
He was the hey day's R.Kelly
There was a British documentary in the 70's that Chuck was interviewed for and filmed during a tour (I think)...may have been BBC...I saw it in the late 70's and since then I haven't seen or found anything I searched...Anyone have any ideas where I can find it?...There was an incident where Chuck is asked about his run in with the law and Chuck walked out saying something along the lines of 'this isn't what we agreed to talk about'...My guess is that the interviewer saved this until they had enough footage and Chuck had already signed for the documentary to be aired once it was recorded...It was a fascinating insight and the music was brilliant (I remember because I recorded the music on my first cassette player)...Anyhow...Big Chuck fan here...Saw him in concert and then have visited his grave and his St.Louis home since he passed...From the UK
I remember my cousin having that Spy magazine and reading that article. That dude was depraved. Used to like those chicks to take dumps on his chest.
Being highly literate,
an astoundingly talented lyricist,
a distinctly original instrumentalist,
the most influential
recording and live
performance artist
of your time does not
preclude you from
very bad behaviour, eh?
The troubadour aspect of his journey is very interesting…
it flew in the face of showbiz practice but certainly
provided memories for those musicians in local pickup bands for decades
to say he was the " most influential artist of his time " is a bit strong -
Elvis may have a lock on that one
...and scumbag, lets not forget that part.
@@DavidBrown-it9ig I didn't know the man
@@davidrice3337 Video kind gives you some insight
@@davidrice3337 Lol are you shitting me? Chuck is the original R&R guitar player not Elvis
For sure, I found it a disturbing read. It's always a pleasure to help, but maybe some lighter material to share with the folks next time bud?! Stay strong. Sending much love from South Wales ❤
maybe potting cactus plants !!
Glad to see you back!
I recall a lot of this over the years...Chucks biggest sentence would have been, not embarassment or prison, but having to pay real cash for his horrid ways...he was a cheap skate, chisler, demanded cash at every venue in lieu of checks. I never want to hear his name mentioned again. Bad Human, great guitar player--thats it.
rock n Roll means "STREET SEX." Sex, drugs and rock n roll have always been an open truth, and proud brag among rock n roll people. Little Richard totally backed up all this just before he died. The Beatles who loved Chuck Berry, said Little Richard was the TRUE first person to invent and play rock n roll. Richard agrees and always has. Richard believed in homosexual orgies and drugs as a lifestyle and sang about it. His lyrics were so filthy the radio could not play his songs without changing some words. This is according to Little Richard himself. Women absolutely love this most debased music , sex, drugs and gladly called themselves groupies and made fan clubs to Rock n rollers.
At least his cousin "his cousin Marvin Berry"......seemed like he was OK, but the cut on his hand did leave a scar.
Screw income taxes! Taxation is theft!
Berry would even make Borat blush and think he is a creep
Yes I do not doubt some of these accusations, because being a star puts you in many provoking situations, I played bass for Chuck Berry before, he was nice, and honorable. But being a star causes many opportunities, and even Jimmy Page had a very young 14 year old, Jerry Lee Lewis, man the rap industry is a universe of sexual crimes, violence, and drugs. In these modern times the internet social media provides many investigative resources to seek out victims. Chuck Berry is not the Lone Ranger in these claims made on the video, it more or less displays he was a common man in the music scene, and they always proudly use this term/motto "Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll", I quit alcohol, drugs, and even cigarettes at a very young age, so many of my Rock & Roll tours, travels I was an outcast, even suspected of being a undercover narco cop, spy, or other when I was in other countries refusing the gifts of drugs, hiding from the woman, and sneaking off to private locations to have a peaceful night, of sleep, and rest while my bass player, drummer, and rhythm guy disappeared with these groups partying, laying with strange women, hang overs, shame, and new secrets to conceal etc. I was the singer, lead guitar, piano, sax, and harp guy, so I was always confronted with this madness, the women superly coming out front, even wrote a couple songs about this behavior, but being sober, I found a way to disappear from this madness. But to many young musicians such as Chuck Berry, they can not resist all these opportunities, and fall prey to the evil, and even becoming the evil. Steven Tyler is going through very old legal, and I call out dated legal issues, which have caught up to him, featuring young women. I do not condone these issues, but they are nothing new. Yes many can attack Chuck Berry, but way to late now, he is gone, but his legacy, and for what he is known for has put him way above even guilt for his deeds, in other words, it is to late to destroy him, even Martin Luther King was guilty for many things. Chuck Berry influenced so many greats that you can call him any name, accuse him of anything, but it doesn't matter Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, still gonna love him. He even performed for the President with all his bad record, the Secret Service is very strict about known criminals, but yet Chuck Berry was let in. All the smut you place on him in this video is legitimate, and I appreciate the more I learned from it, but it can't even put a smear on the image I gained for playing backing up Bass man for Chuck Berry twice in my life, I am still proud, and not shamed, a Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer. He didn't kill a baby, he didn't bomb a country, he didn't treat me like crap for being Lakota (they called us Sioux), In them days a young girl developed was even acceptable. Thomas Jefferson, many historical greats are all accused, but to late now. So yes thank you for the knowledge, thank you for providing awareness of the evilness of a great man. I can even go on, and on about him and others, because look at the followers Trump who was the President of the United States has, look at the masses of Trump supporters, even with all his sexual, rape, and so forth allegations, also Bill Clinton, who people call "curved to the left" after his accusers described how his penis was curved. Anyway blessings to you, I honor your perspective, and opinion, plus the facts you shared.
I’m not reading all of that
@@liltree8382 Hahahaha you missing out. I understand, I got carried away on the subject. Should I delete it ????
For me, Chuck Berry is the king of rock and roll.
Chuck Berry is Elvis Presley? Now I've heard them all! 🤣
Yes there's some pretty wild stories of Chuck and certainly was a walking contradiction from all counts. I'm sure being a black man in the 20th century wouldn't have been an easy life for any of them. Certainly a different era and there's lots of stories with rockers from these periods with young girls (Jimmy Page, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Ted Nugent, Marvin Gaye). I'm not condoning his actions by any means but I think you have to take the period into account as well.
Happy new year, Mike! Thanks for coming up with new content ( even if this is quite disturbing- oh, Chuck!) Sending you best wishes from the USA.
It is important to make the truth available. I think it is sad that lately it is often British subjects that expose American truths. Political correctness has seemingly conquered America.
What about Prince Phillip, Jeffery Epstien, Jimmy Savil and the whole House of Windsor? 😅🤣😂 You blokes don't talk about Elvis being a pedo? I guess it's because he married Persilla?? Chuck Berry was the true King of Rock and roll, Elvis admitted it..
Long list of them, including John Peel who said he had girls as young as 13 lining up to be abused and he was only to happy to oblige. Elvis, Jackson, Glitter, Lewis, Dylan, Bowie, list goes on and on.
Duh! He's A ROCK$TAR! RIP CHUCK BERRY! ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK N' ROLL INNOVATORS OF ALL-TIME! Who ever heard of straight edge rockers. 😁💖🎶 HIS MUZIK WILL LIVE FOREVER 🤘🏽👌🏽🖕🏽
I watched Cadillac Records last night on DVD for the first time in years. It's a great movie that every fan of Chess music stars should see. I don't know about Chuck, but Muddy, Wolf, Walter... came from very impoverished environments. I doubt any of them spent much time in school as children and I suspect their upbringing was typically harsh for the time. I don't believe Chuck was as bad as the stories would have you believe. Sure he made some mistakes and some bad calls, but in that time of racism and social decay, these very creative artists had no real formula to follow as to how to behave in 'high society'. And high society judged them harshly for it.
Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf were actually mostly Native American (Indian) by blood. In their days they resided in Southern regions where the populations were more African-American because Native Americans had better and safer lives living in those communities.
He was a bully too and loved to punch people
He punched Keef for touching his guitar. He was also known for "borrowing" equipment from other players and never returning it. Keith Richards told Terry Reid when he was on tour with him to not loan Chuck anything. He didn't listen and Chuck "borrowed" Terry's fender twin because he had another gig at a bar on the same day as a tour date. The next date Chuck had gotten amnesia and didn't remember borrowing it. Keith Richards had to send Terry another fender twin to finish the tour and said I told you not to let him borrow anything.
@@russblack443 😮😮. Wtf!!
did yall ever see the infamous "I can't kiss you baby" video?
Oh yeah he loved those golden showers
Rock has always been a bridge to sexual depravity. We act shocked when we learn rockers are perverts but only because we delude ourselves in the first place about what rock n roll is. We delude ourselves for the same reason - we want a little bit of “fun” too.
It’s good to see you, Mike! I hope 2023 is kind to you 👍
Mike! So good to see you back. I sent you an email. Great video and hate to be reminded of Chuck's ugly behavior. He was a pioneer and great player, but had a dark side. Hope you and your family are doing well and had a great Christmas and New Years holiday. God bless and rock on 👍😎🎸
@ jcoulter43 , we all have a dark side ---- * A Flawed Sinful Nature --- that only by coming to CHRIST you can be set free & SAVED .
@@johnpearce3714 Yep, could not agree with you more!
I just wonder why you as a WM chose to speak on the depravity of Mr. Berry vs say the depravity of say Jerry Lee Lewis, or any one of the other white musicians in the music industry that messed with under age females?? Why y'all don't like to put ur own ppl on blast and in a negative light?? And I resent u saying Mr.Berry was only one of the founders of rock & roll today..I can think of many guitar players both male and females who came along before Mr. Berry..So..u tell me what White Folks were instrumental in the creation of R&R??
Why do people think it,s ok to bad mouth Iconic Legendary musicians after their death.very sad you stoop to this n for what?Sick !
It sucks to hear these things, especially right after his death. I've never dug into his issues at all, so it's a lot at once. The fact that the man had immense musical talent can't really be debated, nor the fact that he did some absolutely terrible things.
Any one who can write the songs he did and come up with those riffs & solos, cant be all bad. I believe the cameras in the toilets were there to catch drug users...but I may be wrong. A lot of famous artists had their faults..do we stop playing his music now?
@@vincentl.9469Cameras in the toilets to “catch drug users”?! That’s laughable. Only at the cost of illegally and grossly violating the privacy of hundreds/thousands of women and girls. What a joke.
@@smallblock3505 not my thoughts btw.. I watched a bio documentary about him last year and someone said that was the original intention for cameras. As you say, unlikely..
A flawed Genius , if he could have tamed his personality , he could have Been the King of Rock and Roll, I also believed that in The Mann act that He was Framed.
Will the perfect man please step up?
I heard somewhere that one actually did..and in appreciation, was quickly rejected, falsely accused, spat on, mocked then ceremoniously crucified by the powers that be.
Go figure 🤔

Meh. It's how it was back then. And I am in no way shape or form excusing his behavior and antics off stage. I had my suspicions after, "my dingaling" lol. But if you're going to throw chuck under the bus, being as he's now passed on, you may as well talk about every other single rock and blues star during that era all the way up til now. Because it was rampid in those days as it is now. Only difference, it was more accepted back then or ignored more so. I'd never excuse the behavior but this came with the territory then.
Chuck is the true king of rock and roll. Elvis who?
Great to see you Mike! Thoughts n prayers for you and your family my friend. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Always liked Chuck's music and he was the first real guitar hero however he did have a very dark side.
his bar got in trouble for filming in the bathroom in missouri
You’ll make a sound like he just passed this past Saturday. He’s been dead for six years😂
Great to see you back mate and looking good.
