I always loved that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClgtoM2RwQY
Posted before, but always great again. Especially the looks of the guy at the Piano. So cool.
"..Leave the amp as I set it! That's my amp and I'm setting it the way I wish it!...That's the way Chuck Berry plays it, you understand?!"

Agreed.
Thunderface needs to photoshop that photo so Chuck is playing a Starfire.

I like this one where Berry can't remember a line in a song, and Clapton slams him. About the 1:00 minute mark.
Doesn't seem like too much love lost in that movie.

Thanks, it was fun. And I have to give shouts out to kslam for making the request and to Treem for being kind enough to lend his '74 Starfire VI to the guest of honor to play.

The late, great Johnnie Johnson. Chuck was an extremely contrary, difficult man. Interesting to imagine what Johnnie could have recounted of his time with the emperor.

TF, excellent photo mod.
This movieclip is from the movie, Back to the Future, when Chuck Berry is 'introduced' to rock 'n roll. 8)
Happy Birthday, Mr. Berry!

That man deserves a great deal more creit than he is given.
Wasn't it John Lennon that said, When asked "What do you think another word for 'Rock and Roll' would be?" ( Rough memory of the question)
His reply, call it "Chuck Berry"
:wink:
EDIT, I had to go look it up....
"If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."

I don't want to spoil the party, but how can it be a happy birthday when your ding-a-ling is 86?
