@MOBIKNOBI1001 That song is strange brew by Cream with Eric Clapton on guitar, Ginger Baker on bass and I can't remember the drummer's name. It was pretty good, but there is none better than Buddy Guy! ( Sorry, but I am a huge Buddy Guy Fan) You probably already know who it was but I want to make sure that anyone interested in great music has access to every ones memories. Hope it helps
@MOBIKNOBI1001 Hey, I'm sorry, but I was wrong! I think it was Jack Bruce on Bass and Ginger Baker on drums, and of course Eric Clapton on guitar. (See what getting old gets you ha ha ) take it easy man
I've seen him live twice. Once was at a blues show, but there were several acts. He was a headliner, playing right before the main headliner-BB King. Better show was at a smaller club and he was the headliner. Hed the audience in the palm of his hand. He played mean and fast and slow and subtle. He belted out tunes and whispered some parts so quiet everyone the stopped making noise to hear him. Get the chance-go see him.
I wish they would get rid of the comment option so people could just enjoy this great music without bitching, griping and claiming they know everything more than anyone else. Good grief. Grow up little people.
Buddy Guy doesn't have much in the way of his own songs. The 12 bar blues can get a bit dull, if listening to a whole concert of it. It is not surprising that he does this stuff on stage. Cream was a fusion band, if they played only blues they would not have taken the U.S. by storm, Bruce & Ginger of them came from a jazz band and Eric was the blues influence. They had loads of their own original material. Buddy knows that, he & Eric have played together. This is show business, not sour grapes.
@BigCookinCajun Only saw Buddy Guy as a guest in an Eric Clapton concert, but I have seen Jimi Hendrix live many times, (as he was based in London), also John Mayall with Eric Clapton and Cream many times.
@GATTAPADRE I agree that Cream had alot going on, but I also agree with Buddy when he says that the blues came from the US. When ever we hear something we think is new we should probably wonder where it came from and check that music out and we can all grow just a little bit more Have a great day!
This is what i call Buddy toying with the audience rather than just playing some scary guitar and getting lost in it. This is why I am iffy about what kind of show I 'll be getting if I go and see him live these days. In 1987 at the Old Greek Theatre in Melbourne Australia he just went for broke and let the guitar talk. That was otherworldly!
I adore Buddy Guy, but I still prefer when Buddy plays Buddy and not when he shows how he can play like so many others - especially Clapton and Hendrix.
Buddy Guy has been called the bridge between the blues and rock and roll. He is one of the historic links between Chicago electric blues pioneers Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf and popular musicians like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page as well as later revivalists like Stevie Ray Vaughan. Vaughan stated that, "Without Buddy Guy, there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan."
@Shad0wXXXXX i know you have a problem with your life in the real world. so, you came here and try to get the attention from people. i hope you'll getting better soon.
Music has become monotone. There is nowhere the near TALENT that there once was. Thank GOD for the memories and talents from the past who have defined music and given it TRU meaning and a real sense of feel.
I say if you can close your eyes and it feels good well SHIT it IS!! Now you can talk of my age but it aint nothin but a number. Ask me what I know about the Blues and I'll respond by saying " I got em" what more? My daddy Raised me up listen to some "GUY" I always remember that polka dot guitar, takes me back to a "BUDDY" of mine :) Boom Boom Boom Boom! Not much for a debate and damn sure dont know it all I just know It's in my blood. There's no color code either.
Buddy is just setting the record straight, that's all, it's not about hating or anything like that, he's just saying "hey man I know you dig cream, and all the other rock blues music but dig it, It didn't come from England or Europe or Clapton, it came from America and America or White middle America was not ready for it but dig it, other Americans who were not white were digging it, they just didn't have the power to get it played on the radio, so dig it all but don't forget where it came from.
NO, Buddy is not Praising The Brits for Playing There Music, they did not need the Brits playing the blues to bring attention to them selfs or to the blues. That does not even sound right.....Buddy is just saying that the music was already there before the brits started playing it so what the fuck are you talking about INVASION........Can anybody say ELVIS......He was before the Brits singing and playing the black mans music, Elvis himself even said that.........
@swaggeringrebel ......What great white musicians you talkin bout??? I would love to know about these people because if they were ignored I'm sure it was not for the same reasons BG & such was ignored.
@shaserv Well, that's just my point. The reason you don't know about the great white musicians that have been ignored IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN IGNORED. The music business is a tough business to get into. And getting a record deal is a step in the right direction but it certainly doesn't mean that you're suddenly going to become a superstar. At least 95% of ALL MUSICIANS have been ignored. At least "BG & such" had recorded albums with record labels and had some success. More success than most!
@swaggeringrebel ......................Boy, you feel real strong about this huh......He is talking about racism which is the reason why they were ignored plain and simple. He named off Johnny Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, in Blues your not going to get any bigger names, yes they had some success but if not for the color of there skin they should of had much more success. The Brits came over here playing there music and had way more success doing it. That pisses people off.
@swaggeringrebel ........More Over, if there was some whites that got ignored I'm sure the reason was more, They Sucked, then the color of there skin. So don't get on here trying to make like the playing field is even for everybody, it's insulting.........
If y'all spent time with a guitar or bass or whatever with half the energy you put into proving inane points of view in utube you might learn something. When I started playing in the 60s I tried to imitate everybody, black, white, Brits, whatever. Just shaddup and play.
Buddy Guy is one of he people who invented Rock n' Roll and Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal being based in the blues. Black Sabbath was one of the first groups to bring blues to the young folk in the 70s and they didn't even know it was blues. Buddy Guy is the man!
British bands took "Whole lotta love" and "Sunshine of your love" to America...not watered down blues.They took rock music.Having said that,rock music's main influence was blues.
@northerner50 Actually "Whole Lotta Love" was taken FROM Muddy Waters by way of Willie Dixon. Waters Song was "You Need Love" Dixon's was "You Need Loving" You're right it was not watered down blues it was actually a blues song Led Zeppelin copied from Willie Dixon. Just listen to "You Need Love" by Muddy Waters and "You Need Loving" by Willie Dixon. Led Zeppelin started out with a label than mainly put out blues records. But don't take my word for it, ask them.
Thank god for the Beatles!Otherwise Clapton,Page etc wouldn't have made it in America and Buddy Guy would be getting 2,000 hits on here instead of 2 million. Buddy Guy makes music so much fun...he's so good he toy's with it,put's a smile on people's faces.
when the books write about the Europeans its always they stole this and that and they were luck and blah blah but when it comes to blacks or aboriginals etc its always they started it all and they were the best etc
Double standards
Some cultures start things some make them better and its all tangled up in blues if you get what I am saying
Instead of 1 group claiming it why not just give the individual the TRUE CREDIT and enjoy what we have
I have looked at history and we just see it from a different pov
When a culture eats or plays or has a certain characteristic and someone associates it with that group UNLESS they are a member of that group they are "charged" with making a racist statement which is bs
Role models is a great example
People like to see their "own " be successful
racist? or pride
So if a white person writes a song and a blackman copies that song the blackman is not a racist and people relate more
The story went a little bit like this. 8/21/10. Buddy guy playing his guitar in saratoga CA. In the middle of a solo he go into the song so he walked off stage into the audience. He came towards me. With a very "I can't believe it" look on my face he came closer to me to the point that he was about 7 feet away. He came to me face to face. He said "play this." So I played the strings and out came a note. After the show I came to the stage and he gave me a signed pic. I'll never forget that day.
@wisesatyr72 The automobile is a German invention. You got 2 out of three. Only it wasn't Bill Haley or any white man who invented Rock 'n' Roll. Louis Jordan was playing R 'n' Roll more the 10 years before Haley. Still you have to hand it to The States - A country of great innovation.
With rare exception, blues artists have had a hard time. Period. In the '70s, blues artists couldn't even get arrested in the American major label world.
I must have missed something, I thought the point he may have been making is the fact that he and other black musicians were being ignored at home and it took the British to bring these masterful musicians to the world's attention. Anytime I hear Clapton, Page, Mayall or Rodgers talk of these guys it's with profound respect. God knows what he thinks of a society that could have made Elvis a God and completely ignored Little Richard and Chuck Berry
@ivarus75 i was at concert one night and Buddy played this...then some clown in the audience yells out"play some Stevie Ray.." and Buddy calls back " hey yall muthafucka ,i'm playin' the fucking guitar here!". and proceeded to lay down some Stevie Ray which made the hair stand up on my neck.
@Mercmad stevie redid that riff or stole however u want to put it form hooker he says it right in the video he wasn't even born yet so your the motha fukas he be talkin bout excuse my ebonics
I remember being 13 in 1985 and running into a old Howlin Wolf Album in a record store in Michigan. I was totally blown away, thank God for the Blues.
Now now Todd, there's no need to get em in a bunch & project. I already told you I don't swing your way...the way of the gay!! Btw, if you're name isn't Todd then why does it say TODD on your profile you fucking MORON? Derrrrrr....Duuuuh...Doh!
"Todd" be your secret identity you blow people under? LOL!
If you love Buddy Guy then you will definitely enjoy Robert Randolph!! Robert Randolph is playing with Buddy Guy at crossroads this Saturday! Be sure to check out Robert and his newest CD that came out this past week!! When he shreds on the pedal steel guitar, you can’t help but feel the music run through your body! Be sure to check him out at (his name) dot net. You will be able to get a free track when you visit him on his sight! WoOt WoOt!!
i realy like buddy, but i hate how much he talks more than he plays.
im not american nor brittish, but i must tell u that the brittish may not have invented the blues, but they for sure know how to appreciate it. otherwise hendrix wouldnt have to go elsewhere to be recognized.
I've seen him in concert and I loved it when he brought this damn topic UP. Listen to Hendrix and Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray and most of it revolves around Buddy Guy and Albert King solo structures.
Man, Buddy Guy plays with a chip on his shoulder to this day.
The Godfather of the lead guitar.
Ofcourse I hear a lot of T-Bone Walker in Buddy Guy.
Wish he's talk about that.
and T-Bones running mate was none other than the GREAT Charlie Christian.
Great stuff. Actually it wasn't Buddy playing Hendrix and Clapton, they played him. He was a huge influence on the pair of them. I saw him in Cambridge over 20 years ago. What a showman.
@BigCookinCajun LOL poss true but Billy Disrespected many blues players like the story about when he went to see lightnin hopkins as a teen. Billy always runs from that question I just hope he is as humble as he should be to those old cats.
ALL the great brit rockers pay homage to the great blues masters of the U.S. . Read or view some of their interviews. On PBS they did a "round table" discussion with Clapton,McArtny and a bunch of other brit legends and all they talked about was how the blues influenced them !
Buddy doesn't have to worry. No one in their right mind believes the British invented the blues or rock n roll.
I love me some Clapton,Cream,and Rolling Stones. But believe me,I LOVE,fucking LOVE Buddy,Muddy,Howlin Wolf and all the great bluesmen. Most Americans do and that is what keeps this music alive.
@NicolaWriter i think you've missed the point, he's not saying that people make out the blues was created in Britain, he's saying it took this invasion to bring to light what was already at home. I mean i think it's pretty well known it's origins go back not to just Americans, but specifically African-Americans.I share your love for Clapton, i'm not too sure i'd put the stones in the same bracket though.... Long live the Blues
His music was already known and listened to in the black and white community. The Brits simply took a brand of music and swaggerjacked. Everybody knows who the pioneers were. As for the strange fruit reference,are you speaking about the Billie Holiday song aka lynching ? Would Buddy have been lynched or are you too stupid to realize what you are speaking about?
Buddy Guy was a legend BEFORE the Brits and he is still one now.
"swaggerjacked." You retard (American expression) If it wasn't for the Brits you wouldn't know what the Blues were. Any road I'm English. Ignorance must be bliss for you. Now you silly wanker just piss off (English expression)
Bless your poor silly soul. I am a native Southerner and black.
You are telling me that I don't know the music that was born in my native region AND created by my people? The music my father played every Sat morning?
You are seriously telling me that the Brits,who swagger jacked,introduced me and the other fans to the blues,music that was born in OUR country?
Do you realize how stupid you sound? I do believe your British pride is hurt.
Brits introduced a watered down version that introduced your country to the blues. This led to your countrymen wanting to seek out the real bluesmen. So,yes that was a benefit. But Brits introducing blues? Child,please. It was already known and enjoyed in America and still is. Blues is classic and eternal music that people of all kinds can identify with. American innovation at it's finest.
I really don't care if you were a wheelchair bound, green haired, lesbian chupacabra. You should listen to what BB King and Buddy Guy said, and try reading the History of the Blues. By the way I met Jimmy Hendrix when he used to play at the Camden town round house, you know before he became a legend . Now I really don't like feeding trolls, so as we English say kiss my arse.
By the way if your IQ was any bigger you'd be polk salad, bye yah awl.
@GreenmanXIV I hate English people. Go listen to Lady Gaga and get off the Buddy Guy video. You're obviously far too good to watch this. English people showing us Americans the blues. Puuhhleeease, ever heard of Robert Johnson? Probably not.
that was a kinda "rap"/"lesson" he was on for awhile,seen him more times than i can count and love every second,a true legend in flesh...

If you love Buddy Guy then you will definitely enjoy Robert Randolph!! Robert Randolph is playing with Buddy Guy at crossroads this Saturday! Be sure to check out Robert and his newest CD that came out this past week!! When he shreds on the pedal steel guitar, you can’t help but feel the music run through your body! Be sure to check him out at (his name) dot net. You will be able to get a free track when you visit him on his sight! WoOt WoOt!!

I've seen him in concert and I loved it when he brought this damn topic UP. Listen to Hendrix and Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray and most of it revolves around Buddy Guy and Albert King solo structures.
Man, Buddy Guy plays with a chip on his shoulder to this day.
The Godfather of the lead guitar.
Ofcourse I hear a lot of T-Bone Walker in Buddy Guy.
Wish he's talk about that.
and T-Bones running mate was none other than the GREAT Charlie Christian.
great post.

ALL the great brit rockers pay homage to the great blues masters of the U.S. . Read or view some of their interviews. On PBS they did a "round table" discussion with Clapton,McArtny and a bunch of other brit legends and all they talked about was how the blues influenced them !

Buddy doesn't have to worry. No one in their right mind believes the British invented the blues or rock n roll.
I love me some Clapton,Cream,and Rolling Stones. But believe me,I LOVE,fucking LOVE Buddy,Muddy,Howlin Wolf and all the great bluesmen. Most Americans do and that is what keeps this music alive.

@NicolaWriter i think you've missed the point, he's not saying that people make out the blues was created in Britain, he's saying it took this invasion to bring to light what was already at home. I mean i think it's pretty well known it's origins go back not to just Americans, but specifically African-Americans.I share your love for Clapton, i'm not too sure i'd put the stones in the same bracket though.... Long live the Blues

No if it wasn't for the Brits, Buddy Guy would have been "strange fruit". You comprehend nothing. Most Americans are idiots (Green Day)...
GreenmanXIV 1 year ago
@GreenmanXIV
His music was already known and listened to in the black and white community. The Brits simply took a brand of music and swaggerjacked. Everybody knows who the pioneers were. As for the strange fruit reference,are you speaking about the Billie Holiday song aka lynching ? Would Buddy have been lynched or are you too stupid to realize what you are speaking about?
Buddy Guy was a legend BEFORE the Brits and he is still one now.
Now bugger off(British expression)

You are seriously telling me that the Brits,who swagger jacked,introduced me and the other fans to the blues,music that was born in OUR country?
Do you realize how stupid you sound? I do believe your British pride is hurt.
NicolaWriter 1 year ago
@NicolaWriter
Brits introduced a watered down version that introduced your country to the blues. This led to your countrymen wanting to seek out the real bluesmen. So,yes that was a benefit. But Brits introducing blues? Child,please. It was already known and enjoyed in America and still is. Blues is classic and eternal music that people of all kinds can identify with. American innovation at it's finest.
Now kindly piss off.

I really don't care if you were a wheelchair bound, green haired, lesbian chupacabra. You should listen to what BB King and Buddy Guy said, and try reading the History of the Blues. By the way I met Jimmy Hendrix when he used to play at the Camden town round house, you know before he became a legend . Now I really don't like feeding trolls, so as we English say kiss my arse.
