For The Metal Voice Neil Turbin  spoke to Guitarist and solo artist GEORGE THOROGOOD at this years Bowl For Ronnie 2025.

When asked about his level of performing

“ Do it to the best of your ability, whatever that may be. Fear is a great motivator, my friend. You know, because if I don’t play great, they’ll go to somebody else.”

When asked about the song BAD TO THE BONE’s success

“Classic rock radio picked up that song slotted Bad to the Bone right in there next to Stairway to Heaven and Jump Jack Flash. So as that grew and our song got played around those artists, young people growing up were saying, “Oh, this guy Thorogood may be something.”
