A truly great player, but only when he covers the classics of the past. His own music doesn't quite cut it. This is truly wonderful and when he lets rip and shreds at 5.13 it gives me the chills man.
@Ginger33333 Joe is a truly wonderful player but like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani it's not just about musicianship. Hendrix wasn't the greatest player ever, but his music was fantastic so he is remembered as such. On the back of this track I bought Joes' Sloe Gin album, played it once and have left it alone ever since as I found it pretty ordinary. Your taste or mine Ginger old bean ? I'd go for mine. Whilst on the subject of great players, check out Frank Marino and Bill Nelson & get back to me.
That's guitarist by the way not guitar, but i love dougs vocals as well, sound so much like mr plant but cooler. Anyway tom petty, good call, great song, i agree with you.Fatnaken you're probably fatnaked and jerking off right now. IDIOT.
Ok i'm gonna hold me hands up, i adore jimmy page, i follow all the great guitarists and music means so much to me, but to be honest this guy bonamassa is one of the best guitar i've ever heard, i've been raving about him for a while but he's just got this unique gift of taking other peoples music and stepping it up a notch. I have never heard anyone play like him, hendirx was great, clapton, page you name it but this guy does things i've never heard before. Give him his due. He's a genius.
Joe is a great player in his own right, no need to compare. Trower and Page are icon guitar masters who long paid their dues. Joe is carrying on the mantle of the blues, let's hope he does not branch too much.
Listen to JImmy play this live (this is a studio take), this piece has as many as 6 overdubbed guitar parts on Zepplin's Presence, this rare YT is a live take w Plant, very cool to see this...
He is not Page. But he is still better than anyone else out there. This has to be the best cover of this song. Almost as good as the original, but not quite.
Outstanding instrumental work. This piece certainly opened my eyes (and ears) to listening to more of his music. If this was done as an instrumental similar to what Soulfly did with Four Sticks where the guitar mimicked the vocals, that would be incredible...
This cover is absolutely incredible...I wonder what Zeppelin boys would say after hearing this... Can't wait to see Joe on 11/22/11 at Kravis Center WPB, FL...
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 seen this guy in The Pheonix, Exeter. S Devon. England. Several years ago and he was playing to a couple of hundred off us..and we all stood agape at the guy.. and now..F--k me..what can I say..Brilliant..as the beer add says.. Probably the best in the World..and getting better
Perfect vocal match with Doug Henthorn. The song may be LZ but the guitar is damned sure Billy Gibbons hammer down growl and unmistakeable Robin Trower sizzles, just an amazing performance. I honestly hope JB can grow old and gracefully and become even better. He's a treasure at this phase.
I'd have to agree that he's taken after Gary Moore. But Joe is Joe. Probably THE dynamite in my CD arsenal. Still, it's surprising how many people never heard of this dude. This guy is an anomoly -- a talent that doesn't present itself but once in a decade ...maybe.
The great players you mentioned aren't really the same style blues as Joe, I saw him twice. Once as a 12 yr. old opening for B.B. and Joan Osborne; and once as a co- headliner with Chris Duarte. Joe , to me, is reminiscent of Gary Moore or Robin Trower, especially when he's playing classic Rock/Blues. Joe has done a great job bringing back the classics, kind of like Clapton and Stevie Ray have done......
No disrespect to Joe, but can't help thinking that huge tone and ripping solos and "eveything bigger than everything else" production don't suit this song, listen to the zep version, the empty space and echoes catch the loneliness of the lyrics.
Awesome rendition....it just loses the soulful simplicity that Jimmy is expert at when Joe starts shredding in the same spot that Page pulls off one of the most hauntingly beautiful solos ever. I really enjoy how Pagey can say so much with so little. However- I still have to give a big thumbs up to Joe.....beautiful job capturing the overall vibe!! One of my favorite Zepp tunes....EVER!!
In between all that soaring guitar work, there's a boot soaked in hot BBQ sauce worn by a little old guy in a little old band from Texas. He's got footprints in the right places; Robin Trower's weighing in not too shabby I might add. Joe Bonamassa, I want to tell ya, this guy is the real deal who knows where the notes and the heart of the notes are.
Well I do go back a way... I mentioned Robin Trower just in case people thought that the sound/style was new and original. Joe does it well, no doubt about it but I hoped giving Trower a plug might bring the younger folks who perhaps haven't his stuff before to give it a try.
@carnubial You've got a very good memory not to mention a good ear my friend. Let's allow Joe to pick up the ball and run with material old as he is, he does it in a truly powerful and emotional way. The vocalist is just perfect and Joe comes in time and again right on the money where those notes belong.
@carnubial tea for one is not a trower rip off it's a zep. they ripped off there own tune, since i been loving you,called it tea for one, then joe ripped that off and did a very good job of it..
joe has some of the baddest guitars on the planet and thankfully he knows how to fucking tool them...please come to my small town so i can say "i told you all so"
Wow!!! He should do a tribute album to Zeppelin. I like Henthorns vocals, they're nice and sharp and have that Plant feel without being too much of an imitation. This has always been one of my faves by Zeppelin. Thank you Joe.
I agree ... this version is much more 'passionate and exciting as the original ... the best performance of Joe ... it is hot and intense blues ... a masterpiece
been listening to J B for almost 2 years now,and i'm alway's hearing others calling him the best,now along with that joe himself always commenting his idols are eric clapton,bb king,and i have noticed in joes playing he never ever covers clapton or any other of his so called idols,but is always copying the zeppelin sound and covering their tunes,joe please come forward and tell the truth
@ledheadbobh The truth is, you're a 50 year old who can barely form a sentence, much less attempt logical fallacy by questioning JB's talent in relation to what he pays homage to in his songs.
@ledheadbobh When I saw his concert he did a 20 minutes section that was basically a BB King pastiche which was fantastic and he also threw in plenty of Claptonesque licks throughout the show. So can't agree with you in anyway.
This is really good -- because it's a really good song. But to say it's better than Page, Plant, Bonham & Jones? Blasphemy. Plus, didn't Zep record their version, like, 35 years ago?
I;m a big Joe B. fan, refreshing to C a player like him in this day, BUT I'm a bigger LZ fan and completely disagree with anyone who thinks ANY LZ cover is better than the original. Jimmy Page once said the thing about the blues is that its so hard to do something that someone hasn't already done. And he's right, but Tea for one was an example raw blues in standard tuning., blues but different, diminished chords,punctuated notes,some time not so fancy but tasteful, very tasteful.
Well, I'm sure Joe could have sung and played it with feeling like he has with so many other songs. Now that I listen again, Joe would have brought more intensity to the vocals. Henthorn seems laid back in his delivery,perhaps as a longing contrasting a passionate delivery.
This is very good. He reminds me of Robin Trower. Especially Bridge of Sighs. He must have studied him a lot. Some of this is direct cuts from that song. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I just read Mick Wall´s book about Led Zeppelin. Since then I´ve been listening nothing but Zep... And this is really, really brilliant cover !! Well done Joe and the rest of the band. Especially drummer sounds like Bonzo himself !!
I was fortunate enough to be at the Hard Rock Show Dec. 10th to see Joe. Fantastic!!! Jason Bonham was there and played a couple with the band...... this song is incredible.
I seen this guy live last year and he is part of the next batch of guitar gods. In 30 years time we will be sayin that we seen him live back in 2010 , he was the best,etc cause he will only get better. Truly genius
@gazzaboy2531977 Joe is the same age as Derek trucks, Kenny Wayne Shepard and Jonny Lang, but I think he's the best of that great group of players. Those 4 have been around for at least 15 years, so I wouldn't really call them "the next batch", but Joe is a genius, that's a fact!
@AndreasSku93 I remember talking to you about warren and gov't mule a while back,if you liked barn jam 166 then check out andrew winton he's bad ass on lap slide to.
@chosenfool Kenny Wayne, Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks are great guitarists. But Joe blows them all away. Listen to his slide work on "The River" at Rocktoplast.
@chosenfool Kenny Wayne, Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks are great guitarists. But Joe blows them all away. Listen to his slide work on "The River" at Rocktoplast. He never misses a note.
Wish there was video here...Saw this kid when he was 17 @ Newport in Columbus, Ahia. tick's now are seven times the amount they were then. Would rather hear Plant vocals and Joe's guitar work. Page is good but this kid is better from what I have seen.
the second half of the main solo from 5.02 onwards is truly amazing. Jason Bonham as usual plays beautifully. Anyone that says Joe doesn't have his own signature tone and sound is truly silly. this is an amazing track and I'm sure Jimmy would be giving it a nod.
Excellent phrasing. Not a lot of bullshit cliched tricks to cover up bad playing like most guitar heroes are at times guilty of. Hats off to Mr. Bonamassa. Well done. A guitarist to be reckoned with.
LET ME LAY IT DOWN NOW. JB is NOT a clone. Cant anyone realise that his sound, intepretation, tone and soo work is definable as JB? after all, all the greatest blues and rock artists stole. Jimmy Page was a huge thief! who cares? the only thing JB does wrong is humbly dedicates everything to those he is stealing from rathet then passit off as his own. Extremely humble guy. He is a true modern guitar hero. And I play drums. Wish I was in his band but Bonzo junior and Anton have it covered.
I like this better than the Zep version. Of course, it's all a matter of taste. But I've never heard JB take another's song and make it worse. If he does not make it better, he always at least makes a fantastic alternative.
Well people , have just listened to joe`s T F O and many roads a few times accompanied by some nice strong English Ales ,and wow ,love S R V , and all the guys `n`gals that play the Blues I like , GREAT ! Merry xmas and a real peacefull loving new year to one and all .
@RubySnow101 I can't tell you that, but what I do know is that, put enough feel and practice, and it'll sound good even on a shitty guitar, just sayin' :)
Good version, but the original beats it! Page is a guitar wizard and plant, bonham, jones are each masters of their craft. We have been lucky to have been blessed by their music. How I wish I could have been around at the time, on their tours.
Hey tompetty832002 how can you say better than the original? you don't really know zeppelin man, listen and then talk!

This is very good. He reminds me of Robin Trower. Especially Bridge of Sighs. He must have studied him a lot. Some of this is direct cuts from that song. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I just read Mick Wall´s book about Led Zeppelin. Since then I´ve been listening nothing but Zep... And this is really, really brilliant cover !! Well done Joe and the rest of the band. Especially drummer sounds like Bonzo himself !!

I was fortunate enough to be at the Hard Rock Show Dec. 10th to see Joe. Fantastic!!! Jason Bonham was there and played a couple with the band...... this song is incredible.

I seen this guy live last year and he is part of the next batch of guitar gods. In 30 years time we will be sayin that we seen him live back in 2010 , he was the best,etc cause he will only get better. Truly genius
gazzaboy2531977 1 year ago
@gazzaboy2531977 Joe is the same age as Derek trucks, Kenny Wayne Shepard and Jonny Lang, but I think he's the best of that great group of players. Those 4 have been around for at least 15 years, so I wouldn't really call them "the next batch", but Joe is a genius, that's a fact!

@chosenfool Kenny Wayne, Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks are great guitarists. But Joe blows them all away. Listen to his slide work on "The River" at Rocktoplast.

Wish there was video here...Saw this kid when he was 17 @ Newport in Columbus, Ahia. tick's now are seven times the amount they were then. Would rather hear Plant vocals and Joe's guitar work. Page is good but this kid is better from what I have seen.

the second half of the main solo from 5.02 onwards is truly amazing. Jason Bonham as usual plays beautifully. Anyone that says Joe doesn't have his own signature tone and sound is truly silly. this is an amazing track and I'm sure Jimmy would be giving it a nod.

Excellent phrasing. Not a lot of bullshit cliched tricks to cover up bad playing like most guitar heroes are at times guilty of. Hats off to Mr. Bonamassa. Well done. A guitarist to be reckoned with.

LET ME LAY IT DOWN NOW. JB is NOT a clone. Cant anyone realise that his sound, intepretation, tone and soo work is definable as JB? after all, all the greatest blues and rock artists stole. Jimmy Page was a huge thief! who cares? the only thing JB does wrong is humbly dedicates everything to those he is stealing from rathet then passit off as his own. Extremely humble guy. He is a true modern guitar hero. And I play drums. Wish I was in his band but Bonzo junior and Anton have it covered.
mn2285 1 year ago
I like this better than the Zep version. Of course, it's all a matter of taste. But I've never heard JB take another's song and make it worse. If he does not make it better, he always at least makes a fantastic alternative.

Good version, but the original beats it! Page is a guitar wizard and plant, bonham, jones are each masters of their craft. We have been lucky to have been blessed by their music. How I wish I could have been around at the time, on their tours.
