A classic case of blues guitar, ‘Bad to the Bone’ features an addictive opening riff played by George Thorogood. In terms of composition, the riff bears some similarity to that in certain songs by Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Since its release the track has continued to grow in renown owing to its use in many films and commercials…usually during scenes which feature unsavoury characters!
