Met him coming out of a guitar shop in Denmark Street in London...i asked, just before he got into a car what were the chords to this song.. he took out a note pad, wrote them down for me and said practice them and you'll get it....cheerio....Chris Rea You are a Star,
Chris Rea's "The Road to Hell" is a commentary on modern life and its stresses. Released in 1989, the song paints a bleak picture of a world dominated by consumerism, environmental destruction, and societal decay. Rea uses the metaphor of a road to convey a sense of entrapment and inevitable decline, capturing the feeling of being caught in an inescapable cycle of modern existence. The song's haunting melody and somber lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment and foreboding about the direction in which society is heading. The song’s ability to resonate with listeners decades after its release is a testament to its profound impact and Rea’s artistry.
Make no mistake, this is one of the finest slide guitarists you'll ever hear and on top of that the guy is dealing with health issues like you wouldn't believe, he is a true genius and has to be remembered as such, what a man
He wrote a great song. Who are you to say who or what makes a "True Genius"... Maybe to you, if your I.Q. is at 84, then everybody is a genius in your feeble little brain. What you are doing is making everything you like as "Genius" so you can feel like a genius also. Ask a Dr.
@@dan44762000 Why tell me that. I am 93 years old, so maybe I made a mistake, but you wrote one long run-on sentence without a period at the end. I wonder how "Stupid" you are. Try to block the truth.
Living in a campus in the 90's ...listening to his music , buying his CD's ! 30 years later , still listening...the emotion is still there ! Definitely , he will be in the "Hall of Fame "!❤
I had the privilege to see this genius, not once but twice in little old Killarney NEC in recent years, apart from his natural prowess, i was amazed at the whole bands stamina. 2.5 hours both times, and plenty of his blues repertoire, just amazing. Timeless, our grand kids will be blown away in the future, i have no doubt.
There is a lot of Truth in all his songs - some are happy, some are sad (or very sad)., some are bittersweet. This is why they are beautiful. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty" said John Keats. The Polish romantic C.K. Norwid said :" Hell is inability to love" . We all probably don't know yet how talented and precious Chris Rea is. Chris - lots of love from Poland!
I am sold for decades that Chris is outstanding. I introduced him to my dad in his 70’s, he loved him. My dad was country artist and was very happy I introduced him to Chris.
I missed him in 78 but saw him in 91. I played this over and over on the drive to Berlin from the UK. First time to hear this version. Fantastic guitarist & what a voice!
A truly great artist, yes! To crack the American market - which Chris could have done with ease - the artist must slog it out on the road, away from family, away from his private home studio for months, on endless tours. Chris did it his way with enough success for good work-life balance.
I guess I’m one of the lucky Americans who saw On The Beach on vh1 many years ago and decided to dig deeper. This guy should be much bigger here but the American masses love their garbage chart music.
Chris created this song after all the jam ups on the M25 and M40. Great song and so are all his others. You can't beat British Music, it tops the world.
And lives close to Shirley Bassey. His following in Europe is much greater not because of the population but because his particular music style is more European. That’s not to say he has no followers in the UK - it’s just that he is not a pop musician - maybe a little more cerebral blues than popular music for British tastes
in the early 90s of the century passed, I was listening to the tape "The road to hell" on repeat in my Walkman .... This song represents the soundtrack during my military service.
One of my all time favourite artists. This track when your driving down the motorway at high speed in the dark is just superb!!! Rock on Chris Rea love you 😘
One of the greatest rock songs of all time and the great Chris Rea - keep fighting Chris - you rock man! Written about the M25 when he was stuck in a gridlock! So I play this often when im stuck the same! This extended version is OUTSTANDING!👍👏👏👏👏👏
Always liked Chris Rea, he’s from my neck of the woods, I didn’t realise how good a guitarist he is until the first time I saw him live. One of the most underrated singer/ songwriter/ guitarists of my generation.
Chris Rea has everything a great artist would like to have. Personality, strong guitar, creativity and more. His voice? He could get inside a coffee shop, ordering an "espresso" and with his voice it's already a song.
awesome and talented. He's an amazing singer, song writer and guitar player. Chris rea is one of my favorites. The road to hell is one of my favorites .
CR has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life, since his On the Beach 1986 album, which was on in the car as we drove from Northern Ireland to Berlin in 1989, not knowing that we would be in that great city when the Wall came down later the same year. Great music, great lyrics, great musician, great man...
Seeing a 20 seconds clip of TRTH album commercial on TV when I was 16 changed my life in so many ways. He took me away from shitty pop music to great and deep guitar and blues music. There's not a singly syllable of any of hing songs I wouldn't know by heart - forwards and backwards. Because of him I started playing guitar, because of him I started to sing. Still today I listen to his music for hours, every single day. At work, at home, when I go to bed. I just noticed I even use the same guitar belt :-D Having missed his last tour makes me sad. I hope after all the corona shit maybe he'll get back on stage once more. Thanks Chris for being what and who you are.
The most underrated guitarist of all time yet one of the very very best and the same with the voice. A wonderful talent and a beautiful human being to top it all!.
@@1rollos It's par for the course. Every single TH-cam vid, featuring a guitarist, there's the inevitable "underrated" clown. Clearly not a guitarist though because this wasn't so great. Furthermore, during the main slide solo, CR isn't even playing the slide. I suspect post-processing 🤔
Крис Ри -- настоящий ВЕЛИКИЙ АРТИСТ! Его песни наполнены искренними глубокими чувствами, поэтому мы его обожаем! Его неповторимый голос, и звуки его выразительной гитары - это что- то бесподобное! Благодарю за высокое искусство, Крис, благодарю!
Ο Chris Rea είναι ένας πραγματικός ΜΕΓΑΛΟΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΤΕΧΝΗΣ! Τα τραγούδια του είναι γεμάτα ειλικρινή βαθιά συναισθήματα, γι' αυτό τον λατρεύουμε! Η μοναδική φωνή του και οι ήχοι της εκφραστικής του κιθάρας είναι κάτι το ασύγκριτο! Ευχαριστώ για την υψηλή τέχνη, Chris, ευχαριστώ!
I’ve seen him a few times in Birmingham Festival Hall including during his final tour before he collapsed on stage in Oxford. So sad that he has had to stop performing. He was at Goodwood Revival race weekend a few years back. He still loves his Motorsport..
He played a gig in Montréal quite a ways back. He went to New York and Toronto also. That was it for his tour. I still remember he opened with “Nothing to Fear” and he played for 50 minutes. We were all in shock.
Chris was unique sadly suffering a stroke in 2016 and collapsing on stage in 2017 really took its toll on him, and he had his pancreas removed due to pancreatic Cancer. And yet adopted the attitude that when you face your own mortality, you appreciate life more. That I know is very true as I’ve battled 2 lots of cancer and 2 more scares. He had a unique voice and what a guitarist🎸 he was absolutely a master at it. Road to hell was for me his best song ever . Love all the versions here in you tube. He will go down in history as one of the greatest rock and blues singer. A legend and icon RIP dear Chris. Always on our minds forever in our hearts 💕
SERIOUSLY!! MY PRAYERS;; AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO CHRIS REA;; BECAUSE HE"S REALLY GOING TO MAKE IT;; AND SO THAT HIS OWN HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO STAY STRONG;; NO MATTER WHAT:: MY LOVE TO YOU CHRIS REA;; AND GOD BLESS YOU!!❤❤❤❤
In meinem Augen einer der besten der besten! Ohne Skandale oder sonst was durch gezogen! Selbst seine schwere Krankheit hat ihn nicht unter gekriegt! Mach weiter so Chris !!❤
"Stood still on a highway" .. a magic man in every way .. a man who shares his soul as a way to heal .. an Artist .. a very good human being .. we are blessed to know him as we do .. peace within, all .. best to You in another year's coming.
Chris Rea is a brilliant musician and vocalist l was lucky enough to meet him many years ago at a motorway way services. He's a lovely bloke and an out and out gentleman.
I’ve never met Chris Rea. But we both grew up at the same time in the 60s (I am 4 years his senior) in Middlesbrough. I would occasionally have coffee in his parents café. I often think when I hear this song, if he was inspired by the A19 to Middlesbrough when he travelled it on his way home to visit his family.
Прекрасный ,замечательный,проникновенный!!! Всегда все,исполненное им,будет нужным и будет возвышать людей,будет дарить им надежду и радость!!! Спасибо,Крис!!!
Well said. Not many have noticed this fact. It's why he went to do his blues 12 disc stuff, something he always wanted to do. Boro boy like me, went to my school hence the song Stainsby Girls. I also lived in Tx for 11 years, the amount of times I had arguments telling them he was from the North East of England is laughable!
...continues and is getting worse ... but : still love this song :) we live in crazyily amazing and also incredibly beautiful times. This song always gives me hope.
I remember going to the original tour, in the 90s. It started in complete darkness - then pairs of red lights started coming on, like cars braking to a halt - then more, then more.
Bester Mann seid Jahr zehnten Geile Musik keine Skandale immer die selbe Frau schwer krank gewesen nie gejammert und immer noch da ! Danke Chris das es Dich gibt! Sollten sich andere sogenannten Stars Mal ein Beispiel dran nehmen!!!!!
sets me back to my basement-flat in Oslo, listening to my LPs, useually stoned, and very often this one, as loud as it got..., still have that record. :)
Amazing Chris playing here live..... I hope Chris will be recovering how much as possible. The news from 2017 are very sad. It's always good to hear his music and voice. Hope for better times again.
Chris Rea collapsed on stage late 2017 . Had to stop his tour . He's doing better but is not well overall . He's a fighter , im afraid to get the sad news one day but its not for me to know the future. I pray for him , Chris is one of the best slide Guitarists in the world . Love the guy.
One of my heros or categorical in that respect in music is Chris never really knew it until lately but yeah to think he's got it far worse than what I have lol, legend of a man literally can't put it into words how much I respect this great guy!!!!
UnimatrixOne well I looked on his wiki page and he’s still with us but saw him in an interview a while back and he looks frail but it’s probably age also,he’s has problems with his pancreas,gall bladder and suffers from diabetes,don’t know if he’s still gigging,the road to hell and auberge were the first albums I bought with my first weeks wages and those sounds still resonate in my mind to this day
I thank his daddy's drunken load. I might have been good as him if the best part of me hadn't dribbled down mom's crack and ended up in the sheets. The result no matter how hard I try: pure mediocrity.

How lucky was that 💕💕
What a Great "Memory" 😎🙏
I miss the time when genius musicians and songwriters where at the top of the charts.
Me too, there no musicians now, just tits asses and repeating the same over and over, even jazz went to dogs!
Me too, we are living a difficult time to find talented people
No gimmicks, no special effects, no sexualised semi clad dancing, just pure unadulterated genius and musicianship.

Бессмертная классика, услышал в первый раз лет в 10 наверное по радио эту песню, слушаю до сих пор спустя 26 лет
Simply one of the best artists of all time. Blessed to have grown up in the era with artists of this calibre.
1988 My first Chris Rea concert in Rotterdam. One of the best concerts I have been to. 2024 still a massive fan.
He sings. And his guitar sings even more. What an Artist. What feelings he expresses. He gives emotional expression. Thanks, Chris!
When I bought his CD and played part 1 and part 2 together, I thought it is one of the greatest songs ever, and I still do.
Genius and so underatted as a guitarist
He's not underrated. Do you 'underatt' him?
Yahoo france
One of the best and dare I say underrated singer/songwriters of our time. Fabulous.
You're not the only one to say it mate. All the best 👍
I absolutely love Chris Rea's voice
Perhaps the most underrated artist of all times, if the lyrics don't make you happy, the voice would.
Not sure "happy" is the right word! Scary, perhaps?!
There is a lot of Truth in all his songs - some are happy, some are sad (or very sad)., some are bittersweet. This is why they are beautiful. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty" said John Keats. The Polish romantic C.K. Norwid said :" Hell is inability to love" . We all probably don't know yet how talented and precious Chris Rea is. Chris - lots of love from Poland!
I have always loved his playing the most.
Very well said! 👍👏
Underrated by whom? Because he never had a long running number 1 hit in the top whatever? But that's all commercial and has nothing to do with class.
Amazing performance! I love Chris Rea's music. It touches the soul. Not many musicians can do that.
Awesome
I am sold for decades that Chris is outstanding. I introduced him to my dad in his 70’s, he loved him. My dad was country artist and was very happy I introduced him to Chris.
how can somebody dislike this great song? it is timeless
I missed him in 78 but saw him in 91. I played this over and over on the drive to Berlin from the UK. First time to hear this version. Fantastic guitarist & what a voice!
Love Chris. In future years, people will realize just how good his music IS❤😮
Kudos to the band members and sound engineer. Chris Rea is one of many great artists who were never quite able to find an audience in America.
A truly great artist, yes! To crack the American market - which Chris could have done with ease - the artist must slog it out on the road, away from family, away from his private home studio for months, on endless tours. Chris did it his way with enough success for good work-life balance.
Вот это игра , инструмент рыдает..... Вот это КРИС РИ ....!!!!!!!! БРАВО МУЗЫКАНТ !
I guess I’m one of the lucky Americans who saw On The Beach on vh1 many years ago and decided to dig deeper. This guy should be much bigger here but the American masses love their garbage chart music.
I first heard his songs in 1989 and was hypnotized . He is great.
This man is a legend.
Chris created this song after all the jam ups on the M25 and M40. Great song and so are all his others. You can't beat British Music, it tops the world.
Sadly, not in Britain. His following is much higher in Europe.
@@iscadean6038 Of course it is since Europe is far far larger than the UK. And it's proudly, not sadly. your point is pointless.
@@emmasatherley3324 because he lives in Switzerland.

You can say that again.
Slow down😂
The best live version of this song. Chris Rea is a gift to all of us who thrive on great music.
Gotta love his drummer...what a job, what a life, working with Chris.
Another song I love that can’t be played at my funeral
Why not I intend to have it played at mine!

I’m always coming back to this song. Chris Rea with his beautiful voice and his guitar. The piano and the whole band. Thanks
The roads jam up with credit, - somethings never change.
What a true talent , so so underated !
Слушаю его где-то лет с 25, а сейчас мне очень намного больше, и балдею до сих пор ....гений музыки наших душ

И снова хочется жить!!! ВСЕМ ЧЕРТЯМ НА ЗЛО!!!
....I always have this song cued up, ready to play once i catch a taxi from Suvarnabhumi, heading to Pattaya for a 6 month tour of duty.
I have been listening to alot of Chris Rea these past few months. What a gift he has given us .... must be something to experience him live
His voice is haunting, what a version of this tune
This is absolute a great timeless song ,the voice of Chris is so great with this song 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The hall of fame, definitely ‼️💪👍👌👏
Greetings from 🇩🇪
In his case more like the "Hell of Fame" ... what a fantastic piece of music this is !
What a great performance! One of my favorite songs of all time.
Despite serious illnesses Chris can still play his guitars & perform some of the best concerts you will hear. Pure genius
What illnesses?
He almost died. He had pancreatic cancer and had his pancreas and colon removed - this has also caused him to become diabetic.
Well said. Not many have noticed this fact. It's why he went to do his blues 12 disc stuff, something he always wanted to do. Boro boy like me, went to my school hence the song Stainsby Girls. I also lived in Tx for 11 years, the amount of times I had arguments telling them he was from the North East of England is laughable!

...continues and is getting worse ... but : still love this song :) we live in crazyily amazing and also incredibly beautiful times. This song always gives me hope.

My late found belated genius ...thank goodness I did🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏾👍🏾
Amazing Chris playing here live..... I hope Chris will be recovering how much as possible. The news from 2017 are very sad. It's always good to hear his music and voice. Hope for better times again.
This is brilliant. One of my favourite songs. Great performance.
Chris Rea collapsed on stage late 2017 . Had to stop his tour . He's doing better but is not well overall . He's a fighter , im afraid to get the sad news one day but its not for me to know the future. I pray for him , Chris is one of the best slide Guitarists in the world . Love the guy.
Mario Andreano I didn’t know about this until now ,so sad ,Chris is a total legend
One of my heros or categorical in that respect in music is Chris never really knew it until lately but yeah to think he's got it far worse than what I have lol, legend of a man literally can't put it into words how much I respect this great guy!!!!
@@TheDunateen77 update?
UnimatrixOne well I looked on his wiki page and he’s still with us but saw him in an interview a while back and he looks frail but it’s probably age also,he’s has problems with his pancreas,gall bladder and suffers from diabetes,don’t know if he’s still gigging,the road to hell and auberge were the first albums I bought with my first weeks wages and those sounds still resonate in my mind to this day
@@TheDunateen77 Thx.
Well, I wish him a few more beautiful and healthier years.
So very proud that this GENIUS is from my home town, been to more of his concerts than I can remember. Cheers Chris !!
Thank Christ we have Chris back in the day as opposed to the utter shite we have today!!
You are so absolutely correct.......respect
I thank his daddy's drunken load. I might have been good as him if the best part of me hadn't dribbled down mom's crack and ended up in the sheets. The result no matter how hard I try: pure mediocrity.
Как же вы правильно сказали, а не то дерьмо, которое есть сегодня.
