Yeah, just read about this about 15 minutes ago. Man was a legend. Lots of great rockers owe a lot to him. RIP Chuck.

Chuck schools Keith Richrds


That was badass, Tarheel. Enjoyed that very much. I bought a greatest hits of Chuck's on vinyl around 1985. I've got a ton on digital, but I may have to pull our that record and watch the needle drag through that groove!

I had to go Cd's, my vinyls were worn out. I bet you get that great vinyl sound, nothing like it.
I've been playing "The Great 28" with a few beers, tappin' my feet & rememberin' old times.

The guy practically invented RnR, there was no one like him and there will never be another. He made good rock guitar players want to be great, he may have influenced more "ax men" than probably any other player in the history of RnR.

And what you saw is what you got, and for heavens sake, you didn't want to make him mad, just ask another guitar great, Keith Richards. RIP Mr. Berry, RIP!

Not only an electrifying entertainer, but a great songwriter as well. So much greatness - rest in peace.

I saw Chuck perform many times at a place outside of St. Louis called Blueberry Hill. Just being in the presence of such greatness was truly unbelievable - thanks Chuck!

I saw him in concert in 1968 leading off for the Rolling Stones. The concert was at the old south side Chicago amphitheater -- I'm still buzzzzzzzzed !
