WTF are chiggers?

[PunchMyPriest]

@94GuitarLord Chiggers are tiny, six-legged wingless organisms (larvae) that grow up to become a type of mite. Chiggers are found in tall grass and weeds. Their bite causes severe itching. - Googled it ;)

[snuffysmiff]

@PunchMyPriest

And if you ever have 'em, you won't want to have 'em again!

[TheD00B13]

omg james hetfield can travel through time

[dave2806]

cool man very very cool .

[troikagirl]

Pure Talent!

I just never get bored listening to you Stevie.

Your music is so simple, so basic....but no one does it better than you.

[MrOldAndy]

If Steve was as good a trucker as he is a guitarist and performer, then the American transport industry really took a dive after he retired.

.

All I can think of is thank gawd he decided to pick up the axe :)

.

.

If you read this Steve, thank you. From a grateful former marine sgt.

[GismoTron]

Goosbumps, fucking goosebumps!

[chimichurrioz2]

[torod213]

[EeveeIsTheBest]

this one of the funkiest grooves i ever heard.

[omgu8mynewt]

whoa, old man can really play guitar and sing

[PinkyPurply]

People often ask me why I ask Seasick Steve. I ask them why they don't? This man has been to the back of hell and beyond, and it shows in his music. Written with soul and most of all passion it's incomparable to anything that'll ever be in the charts!

[junie0011]

loves this,,, so natural,,, but shame he is getting into the 'pop' side,,, shaven beard and clean looks doesnt go down well with me! i liked him better on the rough side

[jp1100]

Can`t believe there are 5 people who don`t like this, this man IS the blues!!! Awesome!

[daddyoj]

[GrowMasterGeneral]

This guy's amazingly talented.

[Renaldo1984]

I only heard of him about a week ago when i saw a repeat of him on Live with Jools Holland I think he's quality with a real raw sound gots to get me some of his stuff

[akinmassey383]

smart guy, here hed just be bar singer, but in europe the blues is seen as unique and new, as they call this guy, so hes able to make it big there...ithink hes really smart for that move!!!

[lordflanderwell]

in europe what?

you are an ill-informed person!

[RurouniTakayuki]

@akinmassey383 yeah blues is unique and new here, just like cars and television... you really are an idiot aren't you?

[zikzik78]

Old ! no ! very young ! in the head !

[johnnystevens1975]

He's not that old. He does what he does VERY well though. I hope fame doesn't change him.

[mrm4xim4m]

fuckinhell this guy is incredible!!!!!! :O

FAN-TASTIC :)

[owenmiller1]

I have been playing guitar for 30 years . Seasick steve does one thing that every musician can only hope to do , make you feel what he is playing !! This man will go down in history as one of the best that ever lived!

[DGENERATE07]

@owenmiller1 amen brother, problem is most musicians these days dont know that the whole point is to make you feel what they are playing

[24Reece93]

I gave that 5 out of 5 stars and my own personal HOORAY!!!!

[SuperMaoman]

unreal....i have to see him live

[libofsharaku]

brilliant

[rebelbhoy1888]

The old man is awesome

[kladivous]

Wonder if he will ever appear with Dave Matthews. I can picture it.

[maajc]

he should team up with Jack White...

[Jantjealleman]

I so much agree to that. Would be a winner :D

[JBHutto]

@maajc done

[maajc]

@JBHutto haha looks like my prophecy has become reality:)

[plpicher]

How can he play with that much distortion on that guitar without getting any feedback

[fearblaster]

distortion? :p he made his guitar himself, you think it can be plugged in? =^p

[RurouniTakayuki]

@fearblaster well it has a pickup so probably it can...

[Bfmv4Life11]

i think the only person you can compare seasick to is zz top guitarist billy gibbons but no contest seasick wins hands down

[PlasticPaddySociaist]

Check our Rory Gallagher

[fishyboy111]

Hell yes, he was a genius! :D

[TommyChronic]

i seen him last night at birmingham!!!! fuckin amazing!! wish my grandad was like him! lol!!

[tomkiwell]

hes so much better live :) but his albums are so good

[GLeNss]

I listened to one of his albums I prefer live a million times more

[plpicher]

turn off your subwoofer(bass) to hear better!

[Treb345]

~crap~ really, really sorry plpicher....I meant that to be a thumbs up and I can't change it. Turning off the subwoofer was very clever advice.

[plpicher]

No problems!

not that it would have hurted me but its nice from you, i dont know anyone who would have reply saying that!

[almostskater011]

i gave you a thumbs up just to account for your loss.

[plpicher]

no distortion?

cant say with my speakers!

[Mk66mod4]

Definition of a chigger: Also called harvest mite. The six-legged larva of a mite of the family Trombiculidae, parasitic on humans and other vertebrates, sucking blood and causing severe itching and acting as a vector of scrub typhus and other infectious diseases.

In the south, we call them 'redbugs'.

[dr8gu75]

He said bug and they still make a motel out of me. Nothing to do with books! He declares hard times for sure. Awesome rhythms and stomp blues, love it. You foreigners have never seen real stomp blues before. They are the hearts of Americans. That's why the blues is enjoyed by all peoples. We all have some chiggers of sorts.

[conformistkiller666]

nice!

great guitar skills!

[toymachine13355]

hes awesome he puts evrything in to his playing

[sasukeisthemoprince]

pure talent this guy ricks teh blues XD

[doneadump]

This guy is awsome and must go down along with the greats like Bo Diddley,BB King and Muddy Waters etc.he has a true talent and unique sound that i dont think could be matched,if you cant see that then you wouldnt know talent if it jumped up and hit you square in the face,real singing and real music....Awsome!

[sofakingdrunk66]

Raw whiskey style blues!!!!!

[bosun02]

Vale...Dave Harvey

Serious workin class

[MLucas89]

awesome music!

[AGAMBEN12]

song should be called niggers

[DiversityOurStrength]

dude wtf ?

[joshshire]

Yeh if ur wtf is because you think this is racist, you should google what a "chigger" is because its not what you think. its a small bug that bites.

[DiversityOurStrength]

bro i don't think the word "chigger" is racist

my "dude wtf ?" was a reply to AGAMBEN12 ...

He said that this song should be called "niggers".

[joshshire]

my bad sorry dude, just didnt want anyone thinking seasick steve was a racist :) he couldnt be further from one, having grown up on the cotton fields of clarksdale

[DiversityOurStrength]

np bro.

[ForenWal]

"Chiggers" Mean little Books with S*x-Storys ... so Steve explain it in his Album.

"Laave me alone with the chiggers" he is singing...

[pieceofcake2008]

Well done on the recording btw.

[peppermints90]

sea sick stev is great he has a good tone on his guitar

[justinhawkinsrocks]

This man is proof that anyone can make it! You think he sat in the street thinking he'd hae the sucess He had today?!! Rock on Steve!

[Kap057]

Music from the heart like it should be!

[jack170393]

[NeuroHead]

I like the way he always just fucks of the guitar on the floor somwhere like a pair of dirty socks when he is done with his songs =)

[farmenmia]

Dan Magnusson on drums....from Åmål Sweden...

[guitarjur]

the drums give it a whole new dimension.

i like it

[sumbaudy]

i swear this dude reminds me so much of this homeless dude in my town here in the states.

[dudessticky123]

[wonderfulwomp]

[dudessticky123]

[cheshirecatlyn]

[colashanacogh]

really? i remember when he said about going there on paul o grady a while back

[lewigimole]

lol, i love it that he doesnt have the guts to break his baby at the end, i would have cried if he did lol

[scrivster]

I wear my socks up to my knees!

[coticbfe]

fuck me this guy is the greatest! i wish i new of the fernominom that is seasick steve years ago!

[FatmanH]

In the Dictionary where it says the word awesome, there are two pictures. One is of Seasick Steve, the other is of Chuck Norris

[AcousticMax]

This is on his new album, it's awesome. Thanks for posting and thanks to Cherry Lee Mewis for putting me onto his funky playing.

[curtcoffee]

Found out I was wrong about this guitar - sorry.

[curtcoffee]

I liked the drop beat section and the slide work. I think he calls that guitar the "Three String Trance Wonder". It only has 3 strings tuned to G, G and B using an E string in the A position, a D in the G position and a G in the B position. It has an old Harmony pickup held on with duct tape. Schweet

[kristiantheheathen]

You gotta love Seasick Steve! He's just so original and likeable and you can tell how much he enjoys playing. Hope I get to hear him live some day.

[hultacklet]

I WEAR MY SOCKS UP TO MY KNEES!

[elvis1664]

best act I saw at glasto this year...

[Tom192000]

seastick steve can play guitar SO MUCH better than anyone else at glastonbury this year

[emak47]

Seen him t oxegen this weekend he was brilliant

[HoverDonkey]

Seasick Steve was the singlemost awesome act of Glasto 2008 - simply blew me away.

[fearluss]

best white blues player ever.

[howarddd92]

KEEF RICHARDS!

[HeyItsAiden]

Fearluss

I dont agree with him being the BEST white blues player.

But he's certainly up there.

Cos' you have to remember

Jimmy Page ( Led Zeppelin)

Eric Clapton (Cream )

Kieth Richards (The Rolling Stones)

All them bands mainly count as Blues/Rock bands.

But I certainly think he's one of the best solo blues guitarists active at this time.

[Morpheusneon]

Jimmy Page ransak black blues....it's bad but I like Led Zeppelin :)

ou can say Johnny winter too.

[dabounca]

Rory Gallagher #1

[14april2009LONDON]

[HeyItsAiden]

So how am I a doosh?

[andyh1878]
