And here it is, the ultimate rock and roll guitar song played by the ultimate guitar rock god. We have Jimi Hendrix, taking the Chuck Berry classic “Johnny B. Goode,” to a place no one thought imaginable. His guitar sounds like a galloping steed from Hell, riding headlong into a firestorm, conquering everything in its path. I mean, what are we listening to here really? It’s kind of like that scene from “Back to the Future,” where Marty McFly takes you through the history of rock and roll with the song. The one difference being that Jimi just plays the song at the end of the history. He takes the song to the limit of rock and roll, almost breaking it forever. It’s remarkably spellbinding and should be studied by musicologists. So, until then, it’ll just be up to us try our best and take in what’s presented below, enjoy.
Part 15 of my youtube favorites continues with Motorhead covering Chuck Berry’s Let it Rock on the old David Letterman show. Now, you’ve probably never heard of Let it Rock. It’s one of Chuck’s lesser known tunes. It’s basically Johnny B Goode with different lyrics and no choruses. But the lyrics are amazing, featuring an incredible intro, “In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama, working on the railroad with a steel driving hammer…” AMAZING, and Motorhead knew this. I love this hard thrashing performance that basically proves the Marty McFly maxim; play any Chuck Berry song hard, and thou shalt rule the universe. Also great to see Paul Shaffer as a temporary member of Motorhead, just legendary.
