I saw him once. He got mad at a sit in bass player who couldn’t understand 12 bar blues, Then he walked off stage only after trying to teach him. The bass player was rudely humiliated by Berry.

Still...12 bar blues? Dude? I was kind of with Chuck on this.

LOL, if he didn’t know that, what the heck was he playing with him for?

I could see it if it were some kind of charity, where an amateur would get a chance to play with someone like Chuck Berry, but other than that. It would be strange for a Bass Player playing with Chuck Berry not to be able to play 12 bar blues.

Doesn’t excuse being a jackass, though.
