About George Thorogood and The Destroyers

On the evening of December 1, 1973 at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a
guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though
the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer
Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular
Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban
Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first.
“Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance
floor all at once.”

“We had the place rockin’,” Thorogood says. “From that very first show, Jeff and I knew
we were onto something.” Five decades, 15 million albums and more than 8,000
performances later, few bands can still rock the house like George Thorogood &
Destroyers. And for Thorogood, Simon, and long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim
Suhler and Buddy Leach, their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will
be a celebration like no other.

But when asked to pick a career highlight, maybe one night over the past half century
that changed everything for George Thorogood & The Destroyers, he shakes his head,
flashes a huge grin and heads off to soundcheck. “My highlight is when I step on that
bandstand,” Thorogood says. “The promoters invited us, the fans came to hear us, and
we’re ready to rock. Every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”
