Advantages: Great Timeless Music Disadvantages: none
..., and makes me feel that little bit better I love, and that pretty much sums up Rock ‘n Roll.
So I have amounted a number of ‘Best of......’ collections over the years, such as Jerry Lee-Lewis, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Billy Haley, Little Richard, and soon Carl Perkins (the man behind ‘Blue Suede Shoes’), and although Little Richard may have created Rock ‘n Roll and Elivs may have dressed it up well, and they’ve all had great hit songs, in my opinion, Chuck’s the one who really made it.
So Who Is ChuckBerry?
Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born on the 18th October 1926 in San Jose, California, America, he learnt to play the guitar and was nearly 30 when he released his first single, and that was in 1955, previously, at the age of 18, he’d spent some time in prison, for armed robbery, later...

Advantages: Billy! Disadvantages: I can't play the riff behind my head yet!
...When I was tiny my hero was my grandfather, Billy, a diminutive Welshman with more than a spattering of black and Arabic blood. "I'm a product of Swansea port, fach," he used to tell me. Billy's twin passions were music and vegetable growing and his hero was that whippet-lean, guitar-toting ChuckBerry. And funnily, in summer, skin darkened after days out in his allotment, Billy looked rather like him with that thin, smiling face and those eyes that twinkled irresistibly. I sure did love Billy and I sure did love the parties that Billy attended because his love of life, of music, of dancing, of good friends and a good time always infected everyone. Billy's anthem was Johnny B. Goode and, in honour of him, that's the song I'd like to tell you about.

Advantages: Excellent, A real progression for the band Disadvantages: May be a bit too progressive for some fans
...of Deryck Whibley to sing like this. On the bands previous releases I have always found them at their best on the heavier moments so having 'Chuck' really is amazing as it is that heavy moment maintained for an entire album. There are some amazing guitar solos on display on this album with some truly classic Heavy Metal riffs that are sure to put a smile on the face of even the hardest of critics. Some people have always seen the band as a bit of a joke in the past and never really understood their appeal - these guitar solos will surely set the record straight and those people will almost definitely understand the appeal of the band and appreciate their music a bit more.
Debut 'Chuck' single 'We're All To Blame' borrows heavily from System Of A Down track 'Chop Suey' with its chorus having the exact same feel about it. This is definitely not...
