Classic Rock Walking Tour of London or How Rock 'n' Roll Saved the English Language.

I made a playlist of the music featured in the tour. There are also a few "extras" that didn't make the video because of copyright infringement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0&list=PLWW-qHKb1-L1cVwSLnf9z6FumYUsJpW0Z Share your own favourite lyrics in the comments Any rock places in London I missed on this tour? Let us know

Great video, Gideon and Jon! 👏 "Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming" Mr Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan

This made the recall that almost nothing of my childhood stomping grounds still stands in Detroit, MI.

This is one of my favorites, teachers hanging out in the city, it's fun, memorable places for super bands and famous rockers✌️🎸

Cor blimey guvnor!! I always assumed SHB video was recorded in N.Y. You live and learn, thanks for that nugget

Thanks!!!!

Great selection, a couple of places I haven't yet checked out too! Thanks

The Crown and Sceptre in Streatham was also mentioned in a Clash song, Stay Free. I practised daily in my room, you were down the Crown planning your next move.

This summer I went to Heddon Street: a magical sensation, because David is my favourite artist of all time!

‘A’ Bomb in Wardour St heard as a teen thousands of miles away, an inspiration to visit it was.

Camden Town... What a colorful place to grow up!. I fell in love with this neighborhood when I visited it a long time ago. I have to go back to feel its vibrations. Thank you for such a wonderful video, Gideon. It's always a pleasure touring London with you!

Hi Gideon, warm welcome from Poland. Rock and roll changing English language... Some time ago I've come across a song of famous, renowned Jethro Tull, called "Hunting Girl". It for sure has little to do with London, but as far the language is concerned it is somehow interesting. Making long story short, a guy walks a grove or forest and meets a lady on a saddled horse (on a throne of finest English leather) hunting with a pack of hounds. And The lyrical I says this: Crop handle carved in bone; sat high upon a throne of finest English leather. The queen of all the pack, this joker raised his hat and talked about the weather. All should be warned about this high born Hunting Girl. She took this simple man's downfall in hand; I raised the flag that she unfurled. Boot leather flashing and spurnecks the size of my thumb. This highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come. Unbridled passion: I took the bit in my teeth. Her standing over me on my knees underneath. And my question is this: She took the man's downfall in hand, raised the flag... He took the bit in his teeth - means what? Further in the text the lyrical I appreciates however that she's no deviate... nonetheless she had as strange tastes as they come. Is the song about "country matters"? 😉

Great video. Thank you for this trip. I love your sense of humor. You showed beautiful, historical places in an interesting way.

Great vid! Thx
