JOHN CAMPBELL - Couldn't Do Nothin'

[punk4life1029]

thumbs up if u thought he was the bassist for lamb of god

[RedneckChexMix]

@punk4life1029 wow dude lol - yea i went here to see if this was the john from LoG. definitely it is - they look exactly alike..they even play the same genre.

[MarcTwyman]

That's what I am talking about. You can hear the electricity on that one.

[DoNkEyDONG36]

is this john campbell from Lamb of God?

[sirdunn11]

Gay Shit. METAL is the fucking way to go. Not blues shit.

[guitarphillip]

@sirdunn11 You didn't just say that did you? without blues you wouldn't have metal or rock.

[blueturtleblues]

I have no words...his confidence with the instrument reminds hendrix or even more...He's an amazing player...Amazing...

[TheStr8rzr]

I gotta figure out how to sent this to a friend....I'm such a guitar fan but a compidiot...

[TheStr8rzr]

This is the kinda thing SRV would have retired to ...Love this man

[jackbruce4]

this is magnifique

[FaustyFob]

up untill this video i wasnt realy impressed with him.. i feel like the stuff he does by himself has no rythm and i was convinced he didnt even keep a beat.. but this is like quality musicianship he is tearin it up hendrix style.. awsome!

[josegallois]

RIP John, you were great! Such a loss, I'd just love the man! We still listen to his music frequently. Thanks for posting!

[witchman1]

Acutally SRV was never delta...lol. Peace.

[goyatley]

Took me years to realise he played a resonator in open tuning ... puberty, ghetto blasters and cassettes, it's a bad combination. But in the end I got the wild streak, that's all tha counts.

[ipodjunkie5]

I hear ALOT of SRV in his playing!

[boogertoots]

Come on now Cole. I don't want to think that is true. ;-)

[ipodjunkie5]

Lol! well its soo true! It's because they both were hugely inspired by the great Lightnin Hopkins,and both had roots in texas blues.

[witchman1]

He was around before srv, but I agree with you, JC was delta. srv was texas. so kinda close.

[HendrixString]

definately jimi hendrix style can be heard

[boogertoots]

You know he gained quite a few more fans that night!!

[grateng]

Lamb of God!!! \m/

[savagethedrummer]

it's not THAT john campbell.

[gaelicbanshee]

Are you serious Dude? This cat would BURN that LOG Campbell!!

[Feuerfrei715]

How so? They play two different instruments lol

[fereymusic]

I was at this show...Judging by the Benson and Hedges banner it could be later? I took over for J.T. Speed as guitarist in the Shadows when he injured his hand. (During the Benson and Hedges blues festrival.) Anyway I remember me John Campbell a couple of the Shadows and a couple of fans hanging at the bar till 5 am. He did the most amazing magic tricks for us that night!! Felix Reyes

[witchman1]

FYI his daughter Paris has his geetars. Well they were left to her anyhow.

Cheers!!!

[witchman1]

John always used a 440 tuneing. < x JC tech.

[britishgandy]

Absolute Legend... I wish I'd been there that night, man. It's taken me about 6 months to tab this amazing tune, but it still sounds wrong...anyone know if his guitar was tuned down? And yes, big thanks for the vid kiwibluesman.

[MarcTwyman]

Wow, what a great perfomrance. It is amazing that he is using an accoustic but sounding completely electric

[ciubacabra]

great and rare john campbell!!!

[wellendorph]

One of the greatest blues men ever. Died way too long and a month before he should have played in my hometown. I would love to have seen him.

[siiwy]

there was jimmy hendrix. stevie ray vaughn and john campbell,, campbells music is so energetic,, fascinating ,, king of guitar!!!

[mlb1452]

I was there at Blind Willies that night.  John Campbell had played at Centre Stage and showed up at Blind Willies to sit in with the Shadows, the house band. It was an amazing performance but I thought there was more to the video than just this segment. Luther House Rocker Johnson,one of the regular performers at Blind Willies was in front of Blind Willies after the show and I asked Luther what he thought. His comment was "too fast for me" Mike Brown

[kiwibluesman]

mike, great comments...

i wish id been at this show... i live in atlanta, but didnt then... i do have the whole show.. but its crappy quality sadly....

cheers

mike

[siiwy]

@mlb1452 hey man,, you sure had a great night,, and today,, the cigarette in johns mouth would not be okay no more,, the new york sickos even say no to smoke in the open air,, the bon vivant bohemian days seem to be over,, freedom cut down piece by piece,, fuck that !!! night live is rockin unhealthy.... cheers... adore campbells guitar work,, and fuck to all the forces make live taste like a lemon .. lets go rockin !!

[elmerdk]

I've seen him twice. Stood in first row all the time. He did not just play for money or himself - he loved the music and his audience. He made you feel close to him. Seemed to be a really nice person and an exellent musician.

[Duf86]

Sarebbe bello che pubblicassero un raccolta in DVD... John Campbell è poco conosciuto, purtroppo...Questo è un appello!!!

[bluesacorn]

amazing bluesman , sad he left early .thanks for posting

[mutchka1]

[pescadoygamba]
