Scott's Track of the Day - Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry

I honor of the passing of the great Chuck Berry, today's honorary Metal Track is Johnny B. Goode off  of his 1958 album Chuck Berry is on Top. This track predates metal but it was a major influence on rock music and every genre that would come after it.

One of the most memorable uses of the song was in the 1985 movie Back to the Future where Marty McFly wails on the guitar in front of crowd set in 1955 who have never heard such fierce music. Marvin Berry then calls his cousin Chuck and holds up the phone saying this is that new sound he was looking for.

RIP Chuck!
