[edit] Pic

1) where's he from? (I took care of it)

2) Needs a picture. I would do it but I can't open a new window to retrieve the pic right now :-/. (nevermind I did it) Redwolf24 9 July 2005 02:35 (UTC)

[edit] Link

The "Delaware Destroyers" link redirects back to this page. It seems the Delaware Destroyers page should either not redirect here (and be left blank for contribution) or it should not be a link from this page at all.

...Right? --67.118.122.180 01:20, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Right. I've changed the first mentions to be boldened, not a link, which is the right way to handle subjects of redirects. Wasted Time R 17:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

The discography doesn't match the biography. When was Better than the Rest released? Also, was the second album called TG or TG&tD?

I was going to put take the discography from his official website and put it on this page, with seperate pages for each album, track listings and artwork; also I will re-organize the discography to place his first albums first and his newest album at the end of the article.

[edit] Bad to the Bone

Bad to the Bone should get its own page. 210.50.117.199 11:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Notes: George and the band played on the Philadelphia stage for Live Aid in 1985. Guesting was Albert 'Iceman' Collins.

'Bad to the Bone' is probably best known as the theme song for the Stephen King movie 'Christine'.

was this song derived from mannish boy by Muddy Waters? This article would be greatly improved if it covered thorogood's musical heritage71.149.244.74

[edit] Bourbon, please

It should mention his cover of John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer". Jigen III 13:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Objective?

This article isn't very objective, such as the line about the quality of the bar scene in T2. This does little to really tell the life of George Thorogood, and sounds more like a fans critique than an actual biographical article. Mellesime 0041, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't his Indian, oh exscuse, political correctness, Native(just remember Native means to be born in, not aboriginal) heritage be mentioned?

[edit] "guitar cable"

What's a guitar cable? Do you mean capo?

-I believe they mean the sound cable plugged into the guitar, as in they walked outside, switched which sound equipment they were plugged into by means of plugging their guitar into the cord previously in each others guitar, and went back and kept playing.

[edit] Name

Thorogood's his real name? If so, cool name! Maikel (talk) 16:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball Position

So did George play second base, or catcher, or both? Rainbow-five (talk) 23:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
