A great loss, Bo you started so many other greats. The First time I saw You, you scared the shit out of me. That was great a feeling. I really don't think anyone has ever had that effect on me. You were mad or least I thought. Your music had such an anger to it, it was scary. I never ever experience that anger from any other artist. Bo was the first artist that made me feel his anger. da da da danda da Blank Frigging Stare

An infections beat that will forever be apart of my psyche.

I already posted earlier, but I just have to say...

This news actually ruined my day today. Well, a lot of things ruined my day today (why do women have to all be nuts?), but it was the first in a long series of indignities. It still hurts, even at the end of the day.

I mean, I spent all of my formative years on the guitar trying to be like two people - Keith Richards and Bo Diddley. Even now, I burst out into Mona or Bring It to Jerome...

This just fucking sucks. I'm doing my best to drown my sorrows in the Hampton '81 video (best Keith ever?) and various types of booze.

Dammit... how will I be when Keith goes? you made a grown man cry

Jagger pays tribute to Bo Diddley

Singer Mick Jagger has paid tribute to singer-guitarist Bo Diddley as an "enormous force in music" and "a big influence on the Rolling Stones".

Jagger said the US rock 'n' roll pioneer, who has died at the age of 79, was "a wonderful, original musician".

US blues legend BB King was among other stars to honour Diddley. King said his legacy would "live on forever".

Diddley, who was known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, died of heart failure in Florida.

The Rolling Stones covered some of Bo Diddley's songs

He had a heart attack in August 2007, three months after suffering a stroke which affected his ability to speak.

Jagger, whose band recorded cover versions of Mona and Crackin' Up, said: "He was very generous to us in our early years and we learned a lot from him.

"We will never see his like again."

King, 82, said his Grammy-winning contemporary was "a music pioneer and legend with a unique style".

"We always had a good time when we played together," he added.

Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant said Diddley's "voice and relentless, glorious anthems echo down through my years".

"This royal shape shifter continues to influence four generations of musicians on a daily basis," he added.

And Neil Portnow, chief of Grammy organisers the Recording Academy, praised "one of rock 'n' roll's true pioneers".

In 1997, his 1955 song Bo Diddley was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame while, a year later, he was awarded the Grammy lifetime achievement award.

"He leaves an indelible mark on American music and culture and our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and fans," Mr Portnow said.

"The Bo Diddley beat surely will continue on."

'Myth created'

Other stars to pay tribute to Diddley include Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr and UK singer Richard Hawley.

Hawley told BBC 6 Music: "Without him there wouldn't be any music, the kind of history of music would not have developed as it has."

And Slash told nme.com: "He's a huge hero of mine and the fact that he knew who I was was a huge compliment.

"Bo Diddley created a myth that was uniquely his own.

"An entire rhythm is owed to just one guy and that's pretty rare."

Diddley rose to fame in 1955 when he topped the R&B charts with Bo Diddley.

His other hits include Who Do You Love, Before You Accuse Me, and Mona.

His so-called "Bo Diddley beat" influenced rockers from Buddy Holly, to Bruce Springsteen and U2.

Man that's a big hit. Bo was so instrumental in the genesis of rock and roll. Was their ever a more famous beat than the Bo Diddley Beat? Many a muscian has made a carreer out of copping Bo's distinctive riffs. Hello, George Thorogood. Of course his influence on The Stones is well know by all here.

I remember seeing Bo at the RCI Cafe in Buckhead/Atlanta back in 1989. I was working at WZGC Z-93 classic rock station at the time and I knew some of the guys working the doors. My buddy and I had seats right down front. There was no stage per se. He was just playing in a portion of the bar where the tables and chairs had been cleared for him. He put on a great show. With all the hits. He had a bad habit of breaking his E string, though. He must have popped about four of them throughout the performance. Apparently this is something that he was known for amoungest the assorted muscians. Kind funny really.

Any way after the show the bouncers showed the crowd to the door, but as I was something of a local radio celeb they allowed me and my friend to hang around for a few more drinks. Bo just walked over to the bar and ordered a drink. I knew that my chance was at hand so I grabbed it. I walked up to him and, trying to sound none too impressed or star struck, said, "Thanks for a great show Mr. Diddley." He just looked at me and started cracking up (no pun intended!) He said, "Son my name's Bo!" LOL! I was just some stupid white kid, and Bo made damned sure I called him Bo. I felt about two inches tall and was more than a little embarressed. He quickly made me feel at ease and we had a nice talk. He bought my friend and I each a Heineken which was mighty nice. I told him that he has influenced so many of my favorite artists, and he asked me for an example. I quickly cited The Stones. He just laughed and said, "They're a great bunch of boys." He then went on to relate some brilliant stories about the famous tour of England with The Stones, The Everly Brothers, and himself. I was just stunned to be sitting drinking a beer that this legend had bought me while listening to him tell me stories that I had previously read about in rock and roll history books. I was like a boy sitting at the Master's feet. It was a great thrill as you can well imagine. After another beer or so we said our goodbyes and my friend and I made our way out the door walking on clouds. However, as we were getting to our feet and thanking Bo for the beers and the great stories, he asked to see our ticket stubs. To this day I have that ticket stub with Bo's signature on it. It reads, "Keep on Rockin' Steve! Bo Diddley"

I will Bo. Thanks for the memories and that incredible beat!

RIP

Riffy

I can top that for being a stupid white boy. When I was visiting some friends and buying records in Albuquerque, I found this awesome, awesome old bar that was straight out of the fifties - gold and red interior, amazing lighting, original furniture. Anyway, I went in there one afternoon after digging through some junk stores and who should be hanging at the bar but Bo Diddley? He lived in Albuquerque and apparently came into this place all the time. Anyway, I was awestruck. I sauntered up to him and said, "Mr. McDaniels? I'm a huge fan!" He looked at me with these great big eyes and started laughing at me. He also told me to call him Bo, and said that NOBODY called him Mr. McDaniels no more. We had a beer and talked about old records for a while. Since I am a Missouri boy, we started talking about Chuck Berry, and I got a bunch of great stories about how crazy he was/is. That was one of my better days.

Who do you love? I tell ya… Who do you love? Happy Birthday Bo!

The Bo Diddley - Rolling Stones connections

By Voodoo Chile in Wonderland
December 30, 2001 - 12:46 AM

Who do you love Bo? I don’t knowbut we all love you… love you live

Today (well tomorrow December 30) Bo Diddley is celebrating his 73rd birthday!

He is not just a living legend, “the originator”, a real big influence in rock and blues, he is a rolling stone!

He has been covered by many of the greatest acts in rock, just to mention The Rolling Stones, Ian Stewart (his Deluxe Band), Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Humble Pie, The Doors, The Jeff Beck Group, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Yardbirds, Muddy Waters, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Carlos Santana, Johnny Winter, The Animals, The Band, Canned Heat, Al Kooper, Chicago Transit Authority, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond, Ronnie Hawkins, The Kinks, The Pretty Things (with original Rolling Stone Dick Taylor), Hank Williams, Jr, Koko Taylor and many more here, there and everywhere!

With the Stones:

1962-1963: The Stones used to play at least the following songs by Bo Bring It To Jerome, Crackin’ Up Crawdad, Hey Bo Diddley, Diddley Daddy, Mona, I’m Alright and Nursery Rhyme.

1963: Their First show of the first UK Tour at the New Victoria Theatre in London on 29th September supporting Bo Diddley, Little Richard, and The Everly Brothers- Also the Bo Diddley BBC Sessions were recorded 23.09.63 and broadcast 05.10.63, the songs included were Hey Bo Diddley, Road Runner, and Pretty Thing.

1964: The Stones record “I Need You Baby” (Mona) and Ron Wood and his Thunderbirds played some songs by Bo Diddley in their setlists.

1965: They included Craw-Dad by Bo Diddley in their setlist to close a concert in Paris.

1970-1972: Charlie Watts appears on the London Blues Festivals 1970-1972 live recordings later released in 1998 (see our space for Charlie Boom Boom)

1981: Stu produced the album “Urban Deluxe” of the Deluxe Blues Band, the album was released in 1983 but the track with the cover of “Hey Bo Diddley” appears only in the 1995 CD edition with bonus tracks now named “A Street-Car Named De Luxe“, but it was recorded in the 1981 sessions. The drummer is Carlo Kilowatts instead of Charlie Watts LOL!

1985: On October 25 Ron Wood and Bo Diddley give an interview and jam together with an all star band, Bo Diddley plays on his songs Who do you love and Bo Diddley’s A Gunslinger. The band includes Ron Wood, Bobby Keys, John Mayall, Mitch Mitchell (from the late Jimi Hendrix Experience), Ronnie Lane, Carmine Appice, Mick Fleetwood and many more. It was released in DVD in 1999, a must if you are a collector of good stuff.

1987: Keith Richards and Bo Diddley jam together in an all-star band on January 21. The band includes Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sting, Carl Perkins, David Sanborns, John Fogerty and many more. The show was filmed but not released.

Later this year, Ronnie and Bo Diddley toured the USA and recorded live at the Ritz during The Gunslingers USA East Coast Tour

1989: Another jam with an all star band exactly 2 years after the last one, on January 21st again! Inauguration party of the Young Republicans. Ronnie Wood backed sets of Koko Taylor, Percy Sledge, Willie Dixon and Bo Diddley. The band includes Ronnie Wood, Koko Taylor, Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, Steve Cropper, Albert Collins, and Billy Preston between others.

1992: The Ronnie Wood and Bo Diddley album “Live at The Ritz” from the 1987 show in NYC is released only as CD on Victory Records in England.

1994: Bo Diddley is a guest of the Rolling Stones on the show at the Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami on 25th November. Bo broke one string in the middle of “Who do you love” here’s a sequence of this great day!

1995: The video of the above mentioned show is released as “Rolling Stones: Voodoo Lounge” some tracks are not included, as the one with Sheryl Crowe as guest (Live with me).
Also this year Keith and Ronnie record for the Bo Diddley album “A Man Amongst Men”

1996: The Bo Diddley album “A Man Amongst Men” with the above-mentioned recordings is released

1998: The album “London Blues Festivals 1970-1972” is released with Charlie and Bo Diddley on it.

2000: On November 15, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood join the Chris Jagger Band and play between other songs “Hey Bo Diddley”

Note: Mannish Boy and I’m a Man are not really well documented who was the composer as it comes from early versions, in fact in the Love You Live album is credited to Diddley, London and Waters.

Thanks for all the great information Voodoo, Yeah, The Pretty Things got their name from his song, another guy, Ronnie Hawkins, from Toronto, had covered a lot of Bo's most famous songs, Hey Bo Diddley & Who Do You Love, & had hit records in the 60's with these in Canada anyway, his back up band being the Band (The Hawks at the time) but Thanks for the infor. it shows how big of a influence he was on The Stones.
