ʻO George Thorogood he mea hoʻokani pila ʻAmelika e kākau a hoʻokani i nā haku mele blues-rock. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo George ma ke ʻano he mele wale nō, akā he mea hoʻokani pila hoʻi, ka mea kākau o ia mau hits mau loa.
ʻO wau wale nō ka inu, ʻino i ka iwi a me nā mele ʻē aʻe he mea punahele i nā miliona. I kēia lā, ʻoi aku ma mua o 15 miliona mau kope o nā album like ʻole a me nā mele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e John a i ʻole me kāna komo ʻana i kūʻai ʻia ma ka honua.
ʻO ka ʻōpio a me ka ʻoihana mele mua o George Thorogood
Ua hānau ʻia ka mea hoʻokani pila ma Pepeluali 24, 1950 ma Wilmington (Delaware, USA). Noho ka ʻohana o ka mea hoʻokani pila ma ke kula ʻo Wilmington.
Maʻaneʻi, ua hana kona makuakāne no ka manawa lōʻihi me ka hui DuPont, kūikawā i ka hanaʻana i nā huahana kemika.
Ma ke kula (ma kahi kokoke i Wilmington), ua hōʻike ke keiki iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he mea pāʻani pīhili akamai. Ua manaʻo ke kaʻi ʻo kona wahi i ka haʻuki, ua pololei ʻo ia.
Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke kula i ka makahiki 1968, ua lilo ʻo George i mea pāʻani ma ka hui baseball Delaware a ua helu ʻia ma kāna mele a hiki i ka hopena o 1970s.
He mea mana maikaʻi!
I ka makahiki 1970, ua hele ʻo Thorogood i kahi ʻaha mele a John Hammond, kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila kaulana loa o ʻAmelika a me nā mea hana o ke kenekulia XNUMX. Ua hoʻohauʻoli ka hana i ke kanaka ʻōpio a ua hoʻoholo ʻo George e hoʻomaka i ka hana mele.
No laila, i ka makahiki 1994, ua hana ka mea hoʻokani pila i kāna mele demo mua ma mua o ke koena. Eia naʻe, no ka manawa lōʻihi ua mālama ʻia ia i loko o ka waihona pilikino o ka mea mele, a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 1979 wale nō.
Ua hana ʻia ka hoʻomaka maoli ma 1977 - a laila hoʻomau mau ʻo George i ka pāʻani pīhili. Akā i ka manawa like ua hana ʻo ia i ka hui ʻo The Destroyers.
Ua hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ʻo George i ka album mua, ʻo George Thorogood a me nā Destroyers. Loaʻa ka inoa maʻalahi o ka album mai ka inoa maoli o ka mea mele a me ka inoa o ka hui.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi hoʻokuʻu hou ʻo Move It On Over, ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻomaka ai ka hui e hoʻopaʻa mau i nā mana uhi o nā hit e nā hui kaulana ʻAmelika.
No laila, aia i loko o ka album kahi uhi uhi o ka mele Hank Williams, mahalo i kēia haku mele i kapa ʻia ʻo Move It On Over.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 1970, hana pinepine ka hui ma Boston (ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi huakaʻi no kekahi o nā hui kūloko). Ma hope mai, ua noho mua nā Destroyers i kēia kūlanakauhale - noho lākou ma ʻaneʻi, hoʻopaʻa i nā mele hou a hāʻawi i nā ʻahamele.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 1970, ua loaʻa kahi hanana hoihoi me ka Nighthawks. Ua hoʻokani nā hui ʻelua i kēlā manawa ma Georgetown (kahi ma ke komohana ʻākau o Wakinekona) i nā hui ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alanui mai kekahi i kekahi.
Ma ka hola 12 o ke kakahiaka, ua ʻae mua lākou, hoʻomaka lākou e hoʻokani i ke mele ʻo Madison Blues, ʻo ia ka mea i kākau ʻia e Elmore James.
I ka manawa like, ua haʻalele ʻo Jimi Thackery (ke alakaʻi o ka Nighthawks) a me Thorogood i nā hui ma ke alanui, hāʻawi i kā lāua mau kaula kīkā i kekahi i kekahi a hoʻomau i ka pāʻani.
Ke hoʻonui nei i ka kaulana o The Destroyers
Hiki ke noʻonoʻo pono ʻia ʻo 1981 ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hōʻike pinepine ʻana o The Destroyers ma nā wahi nui. ʻO kēia makahiki kēia i hoʻokani ai ka hui "ma ke ʻano he hana hoʻomehana" ma mua o ka ʻaha mele ʻo The Rolling Stones.
A i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai ua kono ʻia lākou i ke kiʻi ʻana i ka hōʻike kaulana ʻAmelika Saturday Night Live. Ma laila lākou i hana ai i kekahi o kā lākou mau mele a hāʻawi i kahi hālāwai ninaninau nui i ka lehulehu o nā miliona.
Ua ʻike pū ʻo 1981 i ka huakaʻi nui mua e The Destroyers. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "50/50" - i loko o 50 mau lā ua kipa ka hui i 50 mau mokuʻāina ʻAmelika. ʻIke ʻia ka hui holoʻokoʻa no kāna mau hana huakaʻi koʻikoʻi.
No ka laʻana, i ka huakaʻi 50/50, ua hāʻawi ʻo The Destroyers i kahi ʻaha mele nui ma Hawaiʻi, a i kekahi lā ma hope mai, hoʻokani lākou ma Alaska.
I ka pō aʻe, ua hālāwai mua lākou e ka lehulehu ma Wakinekona. ʻO ka manawa pinepine he mau hihia i hana ʻia ʻelua ʻahamele i ka lā hoʻokahi.
Paʻi ʻino i ka iwi
A hiki i ka makahiki 1982, ua hui pū ʻo George Thorogood me Rounder Records. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka ʻaelike, ua kau inoa ʻo ia i kahi ʻaelike me kahi mea pāʻani mākeke nui - EMI America Records.
Ma ʻaneʻi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai kāna mele nui loa, ʻo Bad to the Bone, i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka album o ka inoa hoʻokahi. Ua kaulana loa ia mele.
Ua hoʻomaka e hoʻokani ʻia ma ka lekiō a me ke TV. Ua hoʻohana pinepine ʻia kēia hit ma ke ʻano he leo kani no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana.
No ka laʻana, hiki ke lohe ʻia ka haku mele ʻana i ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni moʻolelo ʻepekema ʻo Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Eia kekahi i loko o ke kiʻi animated "Alvin and the Chipmunks", nā comedies "Problem Child" a me "Problem Child 2", a me "Major Payne", a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻē aʻe.
Ka Hoʻoilina
I ka makahiki 2012, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo George Thorogood i ka papa inoa o nā mea kaulana a koʻikoʻi i hānau ʻia a hānai ʻia ma Delaware (i nā makahiki 50 i hala iho nei).
Hoʻohana ikaika ʻia kāna mele a hiki i kēia lā i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, hoʻolaha leo a me nā wikiō wikiō, i ka wā o nā pāʻani haʻuki a me nā hanana nui ʻē aʻe.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ka Destroyers ma luna o 20 album a hiki i kēia lā. Ke hoʻomau nei lākou i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka honua a kākau i nā mele hou.
Ma waena o nā hoʻokuʻu kūhelu, hiki i kekahi ke hoʻokaʻawale i nā hōʻiliʻili o nā mele i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia, a me nā leo leo o nā hana ʻaha mele a ka hui.
