When I saw him they threw out some Cheesy Shiite too.... But he played his butt off !!!!....... B.B. Frickin' King... This guy is so musically important !!! Do yourself a favor and Google him up!
80 and still awesome. Met BB in the 80's (namedropper) and he was a gentleman. After a 2 hour gig he still had time to meet his fans and sign autographs.
BB's been playing blues on the road for 60 years...60years...you get the drift? BB IS the blues,you ask any contemporary bluesman if BB was an influence,if he/she says no,then I will show my arse in woolies window of a saturday morning lol
They're different kinds of guitarists, it's like comparing Chuck Berry to Segovia. Sure, Segovia could play, but his cover of Johnny B.Goode was a bad move, and as for his duckwalk... See what I mean? Angus plays blues on The Jack, BB plays blues on everything. Both good. 'Nuff said.
why is angus younge being brought up, there is no comparison between bb king and angus younge, angus younge is seriosuly one of the most over rated guitarest of all time, his riffs are more or less the same thing every god damn song
bornfighter2 Angus is good, man. All he used was a Gibson SG and an amp. No effects, no pedals, no distortion, just him and his guitar. Angus has created some of the most memorable riffs of all time. Highway to Hell, Back in Black, Thunderstruck, You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells and many more. It's not that he's the most technically talented but his guitar catches your attention which is what basically decides if your good or not-To most people.
and he'll even admit that, a critic says that they've had "# albums and they all sound the same" and angus said "no we've had (a higher #) albums and they all sound the same"
man, i'm just speakin my mind about it and a suggestion, it would be best not to post hate against BB in his own vid. i'd be like goin into the white house and screaming "HEIL HITLER!" u know? im just sayin
hey man, i appreciate angus just as much as you do. he's a great guitarist and kicks ass. but in a case like this, you just can't compare the two legends. so if u got a problem, take it somewhere else cuz i don't think that many people are taking your side dude....
Oh wow, once again we hear the mighty wisdom of the 14 year olds, who know everything about everything. And their opinions are the truth. So watch yourself.
"i'm trying to tell you brainwashed people that this guy isn't the blues"
fact: you are an idiot.
fact: BB King is the king of blues
angus played nothing but mindless power chords with a few decent solos that were never improvised. he may be a good guitar player, but he doesn't play the blues. if he did, then you could compare the two. until then, go study music theory, since you seem to know very little about it. nobody is taking your side, so stop the mindless arguing. you won't win this one.
Seriously kid, you're comedy gold, don't stop posting your comments and never grow up, i haven't laughed this hard at anybody in long time.
Idiocy and ignorance is a blessing, it gives laughs to others. And no, i'm not gonna bother explaining why you're making a total idiot of yourself. Maybe you will realize it in couple of years.
I got to see him play at the Orange County fair. It was amazing.
