I've been waiting a long time for someone who can do the following:
1. Lay down rock, rock blues and blues tunes that will have you picking your jaw up off the floor. 2. Absolutely rip apart the fretboard by applying multilple techniques and blazing chops (this guy is NOT a one trick pony) from song to song and even within a song. 3. Have a voice that supports his guitar work AND can sing within the framework of multiple styles (rock, blues, rock blues etc..). JOE BONAMASSA is the REAL DEAL!!!
I saw Joe live some time ago, the first half of the concert was good, but it didn't really leave a lasting impression. Then he sent the rest of the band away and grabbed his acoustic guitar. I was expecting a gentle acoustic song, but when he started playing this I nearly froze. I was amazed at how just one guy with a guitar could make such a powerful sound. Probably the best single song I've ever heard live.
Brilliant. Saw this clip by pure chance some time ago and now a fan. Went to show in Birminghan UK in Aug 2010 what a night and can't wait for show in Bristol in Oct. Pure entertainment.
Who is this guy? Where did he come from? My son just turned me on to him this week. O my, he is great here but his Albert Hall with Clapton is my all time favorite. They are two peas in a pod. Wish they would go on tour together.
if i had witnessed that, i would walk out the store, lay down in the middle of the road and get hit by a truck because i now i would never be that GOOD. Or i could always cut off his hands and switch them with mine, that's easy to do, all i need is a needle and some thread, there easy.
khalithistle, just visited your channel.I still don't know why people come to artists videos that they do not like and diss them. I dare you to pick up a guitar and play half as good as Bonamassa. So, stick to your key-tar and your new wave Morrisey shit.
@aenima138 If the critics were better than the artists, they would be artists themselves and there would be no critics. Your argument is a little easy... (I really respect Bonamassa and his work)
U think Justin Bieber, Granny Gaga are doing shit? If we are following what you say, you'd have to sell more than them before you have the right to give an opinion. If you don't like a comment, be constructive and intelligent, spare us the poor arguments and give a real opinion. (Just my two cents)
Just saw Davey Knowles and BDS a few days ago and they put on a killer show. Hope you enjoy it...can't go wrong with Derek AND Davey on the same bill.
I like the guy casually shopping in the back. He has no idea that one of the best guitarists on the planet is doing an impromptu gig right in front of him. LMAO!
Bonamassa's virtuosity isn't surprising, he's incredible. That the guitar is still in tune when he's done with it IS surprising. No wonder he wanted to buy it.
are there even any words to describe JB's talent and dedication?! I'm floored! This is beyond epic! Simple, no gimmicks, just straight up talent and love for the blues.
I always laugh when Joe does that chicken head thing he does at 2:52. He's always done that since the footage ive seen him in with bloodline as a teenager.
Don't get me wrong though, I think he's an amazing guitar player and vocalist. One of my favorite.
Hope you got to the Spring and Airbrake kookie1951 cause the gig was fantastic easily the best I have been to, gonna be hard to better and the sound was superb ,geez what a man
Where did you hear that? I'd really be so glad if he came back to the Granada rather than the House Of Screws. They make the fans feel welcome @ the Granada!
Joe Bonamassa is one of the greatest blues guitarist that has ever picked up a guitar! I have 8 guitars I would gladly shove up anyones ass who disagrees 8)
Love, love, love it.
