Download Bad To The Bone Ringtone

Perhaps best known for their 1982 hit "Bad to the Bone," George Thorogood and the Destroyers have been producing their signature blues-rock sound since the 1970s. With a career spanning over 30 years in the music industry, the Destroyers have managed to score several hits from more than 20 albums, five of which went gold and one even reaching platinum status. When George Thorogood formed his band, The Destroyers, in 1976, he was playing semi-pro baseball for a team in his home state of Delaware. Thorogood was a talented second baseman, and even earned the coveted "Rookie of the Year" title in his league. However, baseball took a backseat to his true passion of making music, and he quit the league soon after winning his award to devote all of his time to the band and their busy schedule. During their peak in the 1980s, The Destroyers were well-known for their intense touring schedule. Probably most notable was the 50/50 tour that covered all fifty states in fifty days, with the band jetting from Hawaii to Alaska to Washington state in just a couple of days. They also played on a big tour with the Rolling Stones in 1981. But even with their jam-packed schedule, The Destroyers didn't slow down and continued to play their music, put out new albums, and build their reputation as one of the hit bands from the 80s. Today, George Thorogood and the Destroyers are still the rockin' band that they were twenty years ago. The band members haven't changed since the 80s, and they still enjoy jamming to the tunes that made them famous, in addition to some new music they've written. With live performances and six new albums released since 2000, the band still enjoys the success that they've been experiencing for the last three decades.
