Bo Diddley, nicknamed “the Originator” for his role in the transition from blues to rock and roll, drove music into a new era with his rollicking rhythms and edgy guitar. He was the man George was playing pool with.
The older gentleman in the suit with the white grey hair is William Joseph Mosconi . Mosconi is widely considered one of the greatest pool players of all time. Between the years of 1941 and 1957, he won the World Straight Pool Championship nineteen times . For most of the 20th century, his name was essentially synonymous with pool in North America - he was nicknamed "Mr. Pocket Billiards"
This was my first time sitting in with you today, thank you for allowing me to do that! I enjoyed your banter back and forth about the song. I subscribed and left a thumbs up for you, or a like whatever it is called! I'm from the great lake state of Michigan where are you folks from? My favorite movie this plays in is Christine! It plays in quite a few movies, too many to list!
The man sitting with the square guitar is the legend Bo diddley. the older gentleman that is escorted by a lovely lady is pool shark willie Moscone. BTW I love your tri-color beagle in the background-he/she has the same exact markings that my tri color beagle had-sadly I had to put him down in 2012 as he had bone cancer that was spreading to other organs. I guess you could say he was "bad to the bone" but in a bad way.
Loving your channel and reactions! Been decades since I last listened to this song so thanks for sharing! Ah, the music of my generation, nothing can compare! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠🤠
William Mosconi was an American professional pool player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mosconi is widely considered one of the greatest pool players of all time. Between the years of 1941 and 1957, he won the World Straight Pool Championship nineteen times. He was the guy in grey suit white hair.
His “opponent” in the video is one of the Holy Trinity of Old School Rock n Roll badasses: Bo Diddley (Little Richard and Chuck Berry are the other two). This song showcases the legendary Bo Diddley beat. A staple of many rock n roll tunes.
I always like the video's references to The Pied Piper of Hamelin 13th century folk legend later popularised in a poem by Browning. The story centers around the Pied Piper, who is hired by the town of Hamelin to rid the town of a rat infestation problem. The town uses music to spirit away the town's rats. The town refuses to pay the Pied Piper for his services, so he uses his musical magic to lure away the town's children who are never seen again. The phrase "pied piper" has become a metaphor for a person who attracts a following through charisma or false promises.
The guy that came in and place the money on the rack was a world famous pool player. Pisses me off I can't recall his name! The other player was Bo Diddle
Great song always picks up my energy levels. Best use of this song was in the movie Terminator 2. Also the black man he's playing pool against in the video is the great Blues guitarist B.B. King.
OMG! Then B B King reminds me of one of the people in Prince's "Purple Rain" video too - the guy who's watching from the side and nodding. Is it him too?
I saw George in college at Colorado State University at a bar called Fort Ram. It was like a big gymnasium, no chairs, the stage about 2 feet off the ground, everyone chest to back, shoulder to shoulder so nobody could get in front of you. It got pretty tense!
Hey guys, I’m a brand new subscriber to your channel. And it’s because of this video y’all reacted to. BAD TO THE BONE, is still to this day a ROCK ANTHEM!! And I loved how you guys loved it. Not sure if you have reacted to anything ACDC , But start with THUNDERSTRUCK , and BACK IN BLACK!! RIDE ON is an AWESOME BLUES song they did. But it was Bonn Scott’s. Brian Johnson has been the lead singer since Bonn’s death. Please feel free to reach out for anything ACDC related k!!! Honored to be here!!!! Chris Stone, Billings Montana!!❤️☀️🙏🤗🤗

The black pool player is Bo Diddley and the dapper,older gentleman is pool playing legend. Willie Marconi!
I 'm not so interested in Bo Diddly or Willie Mosconi as I am about the stunningly gorgeous redhead with the strapless dress. Who is she.?
This song just makes me smile. 😊❤🎸🎙🎼
Me, too. ♡
You are correct; George is actually a nice guy, and this song is just having fun.
The head nurse could tell right away that this lil baby was bad to the bone! lol
He's also well known for being the star that other stars go and watch. for real.
He's also a fabulous guitar player.
That was music your conversation at end was gold ..and facial expression classic !

At the time he set the high rack total at 526 shots in a row

I ♥️ you guys 😊
I have always loved this song and I always love your reactions!
That was Bo Diddley with the square body guitar.
Very good
Loving your channel and reactions! Been decades since I last listened to this song so thanks for sharing! Ah, the music of my generation, nothing can compare! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠🤠
That guitar is the 1950s white and that saxophone is a 1949. They’re bad ass.
You two were really enjoying this! Not surprised, and so nice to see! ♡

Great Reaction 👍👍👍 You should try his "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer"
The Old Man that came in to watch the game was "Willie Mosconi" he was the World Champ Billiard/pool at the time.

A classic song that makes anyone's day and yes Andrea make this your song around the house.
This plays as Arnie gets on the Harley, wearing the “Give me your clothes, boots and motorcycle” stuff! ICONIC song from Terminator 2!
"excuse me", that was as bad to the bone as one can get.
Classic video from a classic song from the classic MTV era. Still holds up!

Listen to “One bourbon, one scotch, one beer”
Saw him live in London great times!! Cool dude.
Check out his Capitol Theater live of “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. That’s an amazing cool classic too!

OMG! It *is* B B King in "Purple Rain"! It was filmed at B B King's Blues Club!
And the older white guy he sits next to at the end is billiards legend, Willie Mosconi.
It was Bo Diddley not BB King
Love this. If you go see The Yardbirds performing "I'm A Man", you may see a similarity with this song.
Bro, Andrei's beard is bad to the bone.
The next one from them has to be One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Saw him play live in the early 1980's open for the Rolling Stones....great live band.
1981 in North America
I saw George in college at Colorado State University at a bar called Fort Ram. It was like a big gymnasium, no chairs, the stage about 2 feet off the ground, everyone chest to back, shoulder to shoulder so nobody could get in front of you. It got pretty tense!
I was bad to the bone once. No worries... it healed just fine. ;)
early 80s United States AirForce me and my roommate would listen and drink to George before we would go out on the Town!
