The gritty opening guitar riff from George Thorogood's Bad to the Bone, used in edits and videos to introduce a confident, tough or cool character walking in.
This short clip captures the instantly recognisable opening guitar riff of Bad to the Bone, with a raw, bluesy electric guitar playing a swaggering, downbeat pattern over a steady rhythm. It sounds rough, confident and a little menacing, like a warning that someone not to be messed with has just arrived. Because the riff is so familiar from films, adverts and sports entrances, listeners recognise the joke within a second, which makes it ideal for a dramatic reveal, a slow-motion walk-in or a character who suddenly thinks they are far cooler than they are.
