hes so young, and still so good. i recon a clapton here, or a david guillmoore, or mark knoeffler...or no, i recon an original, david knowledges, a unique voice n sound n i love uah babe! ur as the masters, but even better, coz u r now! keep on pal! always.
He is amazing, and I love this song. He really captures the love you get for the Isle of Man. As much as people complain about it, it's a truly amazing beautiful place and no matter how far I go in the world, the Island will always be my home.
@liamcollister I thought that would be obvious to be fair. How many other people do you know who would all themselves Big Dave. After all I am a tank :P
Spot on my friend, Peter Green, Clapton, Hendrix, Bert Jancsh were about the same age, or even younger when they were wowing the world. I've been playing for 40 years and will NEVER be that good, they were born with that talent, same as the Wonder Twins!
I agree completely. I've been playing guitar for about 3 years and although I may be wowed easier than an experienced guitarist, I know talent when I see it. I could play forever and never be that good. The Wonder Twins comment was hilarious! Thanks for watching it. I'm glad we could make you laugh, if you laughed.
I've bought the Album and this guy is a genius. No wonder he had buddy guy come up to him and he said he was a bad arse on guitar. If this was the 70's he would easy be up there with the legends.
If you notice, his talking voice does not match his singing voice, just like Joe Bonamassa's talking voice does not match his singing voice. This song sounds so soothing. He ought to make one CD on acoustical guitar alone, all by himself.
sounds a lot like Paul Weller there....good stuff though. his electric stuff is really good!!! And he has a ton of awesome guitars!!! Nice work.............
A song that I think that can only be fully appreciated by those whom have been born on the IOM and hungered to escape. And escape we did, but forever will feel like an islander! xx
I've never been, born and bred country boy New Yorker. But I can hit home with this song as well. Leaving home for the first time is hard for anyone, despite how much we yearn for new experiences, freedom, and our own life unruled by our parents, family, and reputation our actions in the past had given us. But I do believe you when you say that it hits home most for those who were there.
Metaphorically, the island can be anywhere, this song has great poiniency for me and I don't live in IOM, but my country is sorrounded by oceans too. Davy captures everyone's need to escape. I love that he says "maybe" I'll return one day. When he does, "he will have a story to tell"!
This man is capable of putting a tear in your eye and chills down your back and thats special all musicians try to get that kinda feeling in their work and very few actually do and that he has accomplished this at such a young age is amazing
uhh I am a big blues fan, actually. I'm more into jazz, but what do you think jazz is? so much of it is all based on blues. anyway the point is, I just don't like his tone on his electric. other than that, he's a pretty good guitar player.
jazz is what i consider classy blues, which at times has the capabilities of becoming a messy unorganized utterly beautifully amazing train wreck that promises to fall apart at any moment. Jazz isnt something i enjoy listening to necessarily its just something that the shear musicianship of absolutely demands my respect. any way i happen to love his tone but to each their own jsut because i enjoy it doesnt mean others have to
Uh, if you watch this band perform Come Home live on Jimmy Kimmel I think that's all the convincing you need to know that this guy is going to be thrown in with the ranks of Clapton and Hendrixl, and I'm normally pretty biased against up-and-coming bands. John Mayer's talented, but this guy is otherworldly, and just what the music industry needs.
good to hear...although I already know...and agree...I get to see him warmup for Jeff Beck...geez...now if only we could get Jimmy Page to show up...like passing the torch?...but thanks for the review before the concert...I already know he's good...but f'ing insane...man I am looking forward to this!
you obviously have no clue about mayer and have NEVER seen him live. The stuff you hear from him on the radio was just done to make money so he could play whatever he wanted. At least half the stuff he plays live is blues rock live srv. He can hang with the best lead guitarist alive today, don't make comments if you don't have a clue what you're talking about
so has anyone figured out how to play the riff in the middle of the song? i know which notes he hits, but i just can't get the hammer-on's/tapping right
yes dude, i have. all i am saying is that john mayer is very talented and a great acoustic guitarist. Also, that davy is a very talented guitarist and is much better on electric.
davey would not "rip" john mayer in acoustic or electric. There both very talented guitarists and singer. I personally like davy's voice than JM. But appreciate both for their music.
he would not "blow" JM away. Like I said, at their levels the only thing left to argue is TASTE. And as the old saying "one man trash is another's treasure". I give props to JM for being so well rounded musician. But I also love Back Door Slam. btw you should check out more of JM electric guitar stuff. The guy is very technical.
yeah im a big fan of both as well, ive seen plenty Mayer wuith an electric guitar. nothing he does is really all that impressive. awesome songwriter and singer. so dont get me wrong, they are both great.
the guy is incredible. he knows how to express himself musically. His guitar playing is more complicated than it seems. Lot of music for a 3 man band.
You non islanders amaze me , I live on the isle of man and know for a fact he isnt 19 . He is in his 20's . i used to watch these guys on a regular basis before they got big . This song is written about the isle of man aswell
wow...in his 20's?...well that makes a big difference?...I used to see "Breaking Benjamin" at a local "Pub" here in PA...they are big now but god bless them...it doesn't matter if you come from a 10 mile square island or Scranton PA...if you can play you can play...they are going to get bigger...and then you can say you knew them when....again...forever...
Well, I saw them on July 5th Portland, OR and we were on a river cruise and toasted and sang "happy 21st bday" to Adam at midnight. They are all 21 now. And the best to come along in along time.
hey boy thats what you call pure class, good old manxies we got the best guitarist, song writer , the world has seen for years , and this fella aint bad either haha yessers
i can't f'n believe it they are playing a free show in battery park in vermont (where i live) the day after my birthday and i'm going. yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea it's july 17th at battery park in burlington and the show starts at 8pm i caan't wait it is the day after i turn 15 and i'm getyting a new camera so i can record the show i think since the show is free you can record it but i'm not sure and it's on public property so i don't know how it could be illegal
music is dead. if you want to make money do something different. times are changin. be broke and love what you do or be broke and hate what you do. if you love what you do, then you are never poor! rephrase but it's ture.
he's great. yeah, i agree about today's youth. i'm going to an eric clapton concert at the end of may and i was talking to my friends and i brought it up and most of them were like...who? i really wish that back door slam would become big someday. davy knowles has such raw talent. they should be the ones making millions, not dashboard confessional and stuff like that.
he's intense but i doubt he's gonna get much attention with most of todays youth like clapton did. trash like the jonas bros and other corparate shit is more popular with them. if he went 4 a more pop style he could be huge. i like him the way he is
I got so freaking lucky to see Back Door Slam open for Styx. Styx was once my favorite band, but once I saw these blues beasts, I realized: Maybe there are better things than Styx. I feel blessed at 15 to be opened up to the world of blues. These guys may not make it too well with the youth today, sadly. Most kids I know are just not well blues inclined, and wouldn't dig the awesomness of back door slam. Who knows? Maybe that'll change. =D
i agree with ya man, the youth today doesnt appreciate the blues, im 20 but i grew up on it and i travel all over the place to hear a good blues band!!
I just heard of Back Door Slam recently on the radio and i was amazed. I love their style of music. I grew up listening to jimi hendrix, stevie ray, and howlin wolf. And then to find out their ages! Damn!!!
Davy Knowles and his band Back Door Slam is very very good, his kyrics his magical. In fact this is the only modern band I like, and that says much to me. He has a nice modern rocky/bluesy feeling.
I love this song. Every time I hear it a wave of warmth and nostalgia washes over me.

I got so freaking lucky to see Back Door Slam open for Styx. Styx was once my favorite band, but once I saw these blues beasts, I realized: Maybe there are better things than Styx. I feel blessed at 15 to be opened up to the world of blues. These guys may not make it too well with the youth today, sadly. Most kids I know are just not well blues inclined, and wouldn't dig the awesomness of back door slam. Who knows? Maybe that'll change. =D
Wow, that had NO direction whatsoever.

I just heard of Back Door Slam recently on the radio and i was amazed. I love their style of music. I grew up listening to jimi hendrix, stevie ray, and howlin wolf. And then to find out their ages! Damn!!!

Davy Knowles and his band Back Door Slam is very very good, his kyrics his magical. In fact this is the only modern band I like, and that says much to me. He has a nice modern rocky/bluesy feeling.

Great song and video, fun song to play but damn hard to sing. Not much breathing space between lines.
The solo bit is crazy too, he seems like he must be good at irish/english traditional accompaniment with all those crazy changes.
Awesome song anyway, reminds me of home.
