[brian1963110]

If you don't like this song Justin Bieber, go some where else.

[chisox100]

You know whats sad? I'm 18 and I love blues, i tried to go and see Buddy Guy live at a Blues Bar in Chicago and i couldn't get in because i wasn't 21...i don't care if i cant drink or go to the bar i just want to enjoy seeing this legend live

[muddack]

Buddy's an Original! I saw him in the 80's at the Diamond Club in Toronto, He was doing a fast blues shuffle, ran off the side stage>outside> out the laneway> sidewalk in front of the club> bought a hotdog> ran up the walkway>into the club> through the crowd> gave the hotdog to an fat woman>kissed her on the cheek> jumped up onto the stage(4ft leap)> wailing the fuckin licks on the guitar neck the whole time> !!!NEVER MISSED A GOD-DAMN BEAT!!! this better make top comment. can I get an AMEN!!???

Only Buddy can make a guitar cry like that! Pure blues!

[brian1963110]

....I'll even throw in a few beers for the ones who wants to mellow out with me listening to this song

[brian1963110]

Bad-ass blues by the kick-ass Buddy Guy.

[KayakMike1963]

If you haven't seen Buddy live, you haven't lived. In fact, I'd go find someone and have them check your pulse right now!

[rampage241]

my god! this is amazing!

[hamlet1215]

if you had the blues for five long years you'd have a face like him too... ;-)

[johnca619]

@hamlet1215 ...yes most of all I loves the blues :)

but, yes, your right, but five long years, shit youd have a face just like his too ;-)

[staco100]

[redsskin42]

Steve Ray Vaughan . 

[boyoyify]

I know what you're talkn bout mor Buddy! of course she kicked me out twice.

[FrancescoTNM]

You know what? Buddy is one step after god talkin about blues music, but anyway I'm a lil sad thinkin that in a few times he's gonna become the "old man" in the scene, after B. Just a lil sad, not too much.

[dalittlegoose]

Damn!

[landonrob]

I clicked on your vids and saw the pic my band uses for business cards and posters...lol Very cool pic "Smokestack Lightnin" should give the pic i'm talking about. away....see above video response for my band and sub if u like any tunes and I'll sub ya back....Peace& Blues

[landonrob]

No one can sing like Buddy....He's unique in every way and finally got the recognition he deserved for so many years....or atleast real money....Thank "Clapton"....he knew it and did something about it.....Respect !!

Peace & Blues

[msflo1926]

We should start a blues club and meet up once a month at one of the clubs, graet way to meet new friends

[minibex1]

wow this is REAL blues, not any of that modern rnb crap with rap sections in the middle

[izareli]

3 pagodeiros

[dicoslash2093]

where can i download this!!!!!! shit buddy guy turns me on...when i heard the solo i thought i was going to explode!!!

[Letsfookinavit]

@dicoslash2093 It's off the Damn Right I got the Blues album

[TheMarkzel]

Try listening to Joe Cocker and John Lee Hookers rendition of this classic.

[hipadubreymccready]

absolutely choice soundz and thanks 4 posting

[Deader87]

I have listened to many relaxing songs in my life before, but there is nothing, absolutely nothing that quite calms my nerves like this relaxing masterpiece of the Blues!!!

[Readytogoism]

Happy to see people talking about music and not arguing like stupid bastards !

[geauxtam57]

he plays like my heart feels....

[whoboy62]

Clapton and Guy came out with this song on CD's around the same time. Love both versions and put them both on a tape to play back-to-bac k once. I like the way Claption burns on guitar on this song a little more. Guy outsings him on the song. If I could either sing or play half as good as either, I'd be happy.

[astonehunter]

the older I get the more primitive sound I love, organic, natural, my ears get over run with digital synthesys. For me its like drinking something thats not quenching my thirst but is actually making me thirstier. Then someone hands me a glass of cold ice water, ahhhhh now dat good chall, thanks Old timers.

[86Dtrain]

the blues never gets stale

[GregDrayGregDray]

I just don't think you can be white and play the blues like this.

[22metzfan]

@GregDrayGregDray Unless your name is Eric Clapton, of course..

[OghmaticCraftAnimus]

@22metzfan Not even him nor Stevie Ray Vaughan (who I think is better than Clapton, but that's my opinion) can have that passion, that fire, that force in their voice and their playing. Listen to both Buddy Guy and Clapton closely, compare them. You feel this vibration in your very soul ? THAT comes from Buddy Guy.

[22metzfan]

@OghmaticCraftAnimus Thank you!! I also agree that Stevie Ray Vaughan is better than Clapton. I'd go as far as to say he's my favorite guitarist of all time, which is part fact and part opinion.

[MrJordanisking]

@OghmaticCraftAnimus clapton had his fire when he was with cream. I still think 1968 crossroads is one of the greatest guitar solos ever! its hard to say SRV is better than Clapton or vice versa cuz they got diff styles of playing, but Texas Flood my fav song! anyway about BUDDY GUY, hes in his own class =D "cant touch this" was written about him... little known fact! haha. and once I heard buddy say F*ck SRV, cuz apparently he likes John L Hooker more! guess SVR was too Honky Tonk for him lol

[cedricleecason]

@OghmaticCraftAnimus AMEN!!!!

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

this gets straight to your soul!

[mdma69s]

the best piano solo

[brian1963110]

great beer drinking, mellowing out type of music and B.S. with your friends.

[electricnorseman]

@TheBeachside21

Couldn't find that quote anywhere. Where did you find it? Stevie Ray Vaughn was great and I was lucky to see him 3 times in concert. Here is what Stevie Ray said about Buddy: Vaughan stated that, "Without Buddy Guy, there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan."

[TransAmDrifter]

I feel comfortably numb...

...no normalnie zajebiste na maxa!

Greets from Poland :)

[kragker]

Buddy wakens my soul

[viamney]

is the man, father of Chicago Blues

[diacony]

When I plays my mouf organ I gets a spine tinglin goin on and the blues overcomes my poor low down soul playin along ts Mr Guys talkin guitaaaar

[SKAuthenticDank]

@edavisdavis you go girlie!

[secondseed1]

No1 in my experiences

[secondseed1]

don't get me wrong though, Clapton is one of the best guitar players out there.

[secondseed1]

didn't care for buddy in my younger blues years. But like fine wine, I really appreciate the taste after time. Clapton passed the torch to buddy a long time ago and I agree.

[rollingstopp]

hes a mad blues player

[Yahear]

I just saw him in Montreal, on april the 8th, this guy is 74 years old and he's still playing his guitar like a motha********* riot

[TheVictorMarley]

Not only a fantastic guitarist,but also a funny singer full of excitement!

Great BUDDY GUY!!!

[jtmenniti1]

I was at a buddy guy and jimmy vaughn show in jersey around 98 with my brother. Buddy was ripping on stage then disappeared but kept playing. We looked and he came in between us and just kept ripping. Was had our arms around him while he was jamming. It was incredible.

[mattyblues101]

@jtmenniti1 thats awesome..buddy is the man..interactive with the crowd ...buddy always throws great shows..that must have been a great moment of the show for you ..BLUES FOREVER ....right on!!!!

[rmbb10]

This so rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hccoxster1]

buddy's facial expression looks kinda like the Grinch

[Ven0m6125]

@hccoxster1 Hahahahahahahahahahaha true =p, but what a guitar player! =O

[Sparkjean]

@hccoxster1

Buddy got here first, Baby, with his melting blues face. Grinch looks like Buddy ....

:)

Sparky Jean

[noclouds111]

@hccoxster1 A friend and I saw him live, and he would go into this expression just before he came to an abrupt stop in the middle of a song. He'd then say to the audience, "You don't want to hear this song!" He did this several times.

I don't know what what going on in his head that night, but he was acting a bit off-kilter.

[beresberes]

HAS ANYONE GOT THE MUDDY WATERS VERSION ????????

[sternersteverizonnet]

..oh is this ever one down on your knees blues song!...great tune.

[bluesmuzikluver]

i so want to write something that conveys how i fell after listening to this yet i can do is replay it and just blot everything except pure joy from my mind

[logancbeeman]

let's get together and find the one person who doesn't like this and beat the shit out of them!

[RootsinBrooklyn]

@logancbeeman

Gotta all like the same stuff, hey?

[RetroJenny]

Now this is blues. You can hear the pain in that voice and guitar.

[saragarrza]

God damn...you can tell led zeppelin REALLY admired this guy. Buddy's the man.

[Tveshag]

Awesome ......this is really the thing,what a guitar player and also a really good voice on top of it all.Love this GUY!!!!!!!

[Romerox7]

HOT DAMN !!!! this is the REAL DEAL baby !!!

[GetzAround]

Ummm hmmmm... Thats the ish :D

[uberman1002]

its not him there is playing- it is his guitar

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

I'm always dug Buddy's guitar and, of course, enjoyed a few beers at his old bar when it was on Wabash but when he sings, Buddy sounds like he needs to run and take a dump.

[buffwhiner]

Cant even describe what Im feeling when I listen to this one.

[sgtdarkness1]

He's all bone blues, straight through the marrow.

[DaBigApe]

Hello, this is blues!!!...Oh that's a guy Buddy yeah...Sorry i'm french and i don t know

[MissBadGirl95]

I have no words....

[janedoe1024]

[mattyblues101]

@janedoe1024 "Damn right i got the blues"

[rogml]

@janedoe1024 Damn Right I've got the Blues - 1991

[mattyblues101]

buddy guy is a class act...1 time at his show there was a kid in a wheel chair who looked paralyzed from the waist down ...buddy went into the crowd and sat next to the kid..had the kid strum the guitar while he fretted the notes...the kid was wailing i saw the joy in that kids eyes..it was i sight to be seen...i felt so happy for that kid

[wc4dblues]

@mattyblues101 YEA...HE'S THE MAN, THANKS FOR THE STORY, HE'S A HELL

[TheDoxster]

[imlaycitybob]

Blues is about conveying a feeling. Buddy is great at this. I'm been mistreated too, Buddy... and I know just what you're talkin' about.

[JILLMOL]

Wow, great track!!!! I like Buddy Guy also very much, he's great!!!!

[electricnorseman]

"Buddy Guy is the best guitar player on the planet" - Eric Clapton

[RockySeven7]

[Dai3eb]

@electricnorseman "This is a true quote" - Benjamin Franklin

[brian1963110]

Buddy Guy kix azz in in the blues era. Keep up the great work Buddy.

[MrCaribbean]

Buddy's tone is soooo fuckin out of this world man,OUTSTANDING!,all from the fingers and his heart and soul.His singing is superb as well!

[bnapoleonc123]

don't know about you, but it definitely makes me jealous! Truly a great bluesman, and very under-rated. One of the most soulful blues singers of all timw, and his guitar work speaks for itself.
