Blue & Evil - Joe Bonamassa

[davedave99999]

One of my fav tracks

[xalexiskorex]

I was waiting for the studio solo :(

[maria145397]

Saw Joe last night live in Balto. Blew the house out, people were flippin out. Hes so ultra cool, the guys just raw great talent. If he comes to your town, try to hit it, you will be blown away. Played 7 different guitars, killed each one and never broke a sweat. Love this guy so much. You listen and you watch and you just know hes pure natural soul.

[heavendreamful]

Bob is rock. thanx for vid add in my playlist.

[nightshift42071]

I saw Joe on this tour. He is absolutely amazing!!! You will not be disappointed!

[Benjiboyo21]

I wanna see this guy live......fuckit no....i've GOT to see this guy live ! He's killing me.

[XmyAssYTmofo]

This is proof to me that music is a pure and scandalous hustle. How come I never hear of this guy except in a Ernie Ball guitar strings ad at a on-line music store? So I search his name and boom I'm blown away right here right now baby.

This guy is a friggin' gawd! If Led Zeppelin did this tune it would be on Classic Rock radio right now I assure you.

[thespotlightkid]

Currently my favorite guitar player along with Steve Morse.

[aniagniech]

wonder....

[ZeppelinFan6980]

Does anyone else agree that if you turned the volume down all the way you would still know he's a beast and be jealous. I mean look at him.

He's got that Joe Bonamassa swagger.

[benadmin]

Joe is all that and then some!

[CoCaCharles]

"yeah yeah we did it in Greece.... Santorini." The way he says that kills me.

[aniagniech]

wonder.....

[BluesbreakerWyatt]

Best track on Black Rock album!

[solidscott118]

just realized that ive been playing this song wrong all this time

[spliffinit1]

thats a gibson custom shop bonamassa les paul but not shure what the color is somewhere towards the end you can pause it and see his name on the truss rod cover

[gelchert]

@spliffinit1 On his Musician's Friend interview video, he calls it "candy apple blue."

[webkinzfungirl101]

Ridiculous!!!! Joe B's run to start his solo at 3:40 is GOLDEN... I can only nod my head and raise my fist to that shiz!

[StockholmSyndrome08]

what colour is that les paul?

[rodrigozamo]

@StockholmSyndrome08 it's like dark blue, it's a custom color gibson made for him on his signature series guitars, besides the gold top of course

[stangcrazy306]

Joe B is awesome but I miss his old band!!

[jjudijo]

His music is so sick I am gonna die! OMG those licks. **shudder**

[katford7286]

I love, love, love that guitar! The color is so cool.

[Century21digitalBoi]

Blue and evil has made a wreck of 5 people.

[RenardSilvaMaine]

decided this is going to be my theme tune

[JoeBonamassaOfficial]

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

So I hear Blackest Night as a lyric, I'm like "Oh Cool, that reminds me of the Green Lantern". Then I see the drummer wearing a Green Lantern shirt. MY FACE.

[Flieswater]

i want this ass to come to canada! he has been denying us his genious!

[guitarinchris]

@Flieswater Canadian dates next month!

[chubbymosher700]

Joe is better than any shredder out there IMO.

[epicalice]

okay bold statement here we go: I think Joe Bonamassa is the best blues player out there today. there are many others who are awesome, but Joe Bonamassa just had this amazing tone and articulate playing its unbelievable!

[ItsFuckingMeOkey]

what amp is it he´s playing? can see it on 5:40 ! is it a class 5?

[ItsFuckingMeOkey]

@ItsFuckingMeOkey but the class 5 would be smaller, wouldn´t it?

[Lestat2991]

@ItsFuckingMeOkey looks like a marshall bluesbreaker

[MissouriRecluse]

This is beyond awesome.

[bassjocky]

Why the comparison to Eric Johnson???????? Johnson is an effects master,,, Joe uses gtr mostly dry.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

he's like Mayer, except not. and a HELL of a lot better.

[BlackDiamond351]

@LedZeppelinisgod100 he's like mayer except he's not a douchebag, he writes proper blues songs, is a nice guy, doesn't attempt stand-up comedy when he is a musician and plays guitar like the devil

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@BlackDiamond351 exactly. i dont know where mayer got the idea he can be a dick just because he knows a few cliche blues licks. Bonamassa could play circles around and sound better than Mayer with a few fingers restrained, at 3 am after a night of heavy drinking, a squier telecaster and a 10w amplifer from target.

[BlackDiamond351]

@LedZeppelinisgod100 yeah, well joe is one of the best guitar players of all time in my opinion because he just has such a vast knowledge of the instrument, the theory and he has a huge library of licks. john mayer is a hollywood douchebag.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@BlackDiamond351 and takes from so many other players' styles to create one that is very uniquely his own. sure, everyone says oh hes a copy of Eric Johnson, but screw them. sure he has licks similar to him, but is nowhere near a copy of him. after ive started listening to him over the past year or so, im convinced he's up there with the legends. also, ive been super influenced by his playing. some of his licks are just to damn tasty. :D

[BlackDiamond351]

@LedZeppelinisgod100 yeah man he's so good. he could probably play circles around eric johnson aswell!

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@BlackDiamond351 very true!

[Taraalcar]

@BlackDiamond351 Yeah, Mayer sells out from time to time but he's one hell of a guitar player. Joe is certainly better though.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

HELLLLLL YEAH. Pretty much every other blues/rock guitarist other than Page, Beck, Hendrix, and Gilmour can SUCK IT.

[moseseseseses]

I listen to a lot of blues players and singers, but mostly to this hot slick, for he is as hot as they come. Joe is truly master of the blues. The boy sings tremendously, and just seems to be infused with endless licks to lala land you into another world. Check out his : SLOW GIN, played in Tel Aviv, Israel. He blew their living minds away. Look all you want to folks, but this boy is the best, they come no better. When he was 12 years old, he played better then than most do today. GREAT.

[Electircteen16]

Amazing riff!!!

[snowshoetom]

Joe has always been great I saw him when he was 16 and he was incredible.he is so relaxed now, and his playing shows it. Even when he is wailing there is space between the notes....nothing sounds overplayed, just right on! awesome!

[SunnyCool]

Smokin' Joe always shows up slick in a suit for every gig. Good on him.

[BurninAss]

@SunnyCool maybe he´ll be another "man in black"

[dakodarollins]

one of the best riffs ive heard in a while

[TROGGGGI]

This sounds better than the record

Does anybody have à clue why the sound of the new record is sooo bad midrange flat one dimensional ??

[biglu30]

style is like a cross between Eric Johnson and Kenny Wayne Shepherd

[Brickma227]

@biglu30 But Joe Bonamassa could make KWS look like an 8yr old playing for the first time...he's that much better.

[coal1987]

@Brickma227 who's kws?

[coal1987]

@Brickma227 who's KWS?

[Laiden12]

@coal1987 kenn wayne shepard

[Laiden12]

@coal1987 kenny wayne shepard

[rokkerdude8]

@Brickma227 as far as im concerned, Kenny wayne(and most other white blues/ rock guitarists, with the the exception of joe bonamassa) just do all they can to sound as much like Stevie Ray Vaughan as they can...

[soulpatch29]

I know Joe uses a lot of defferent effects and amps in his live shows. Iv'e seen him live a few times. But for this show he just has the amp , tubescreamer and guitar. Very nice indeed. Sometimes it is nice to hear just that instead of all the different effects. He even mentioned it on facebook he was going light for the show.

[DBluesN]

I love this one cos' you can hear their soul, their breaths..... I prefer this better than the one engineered in the studio...

[taker0]

Joe just blows me away every time I hear him play

[billtreusch]

I had never heard of Joe Bonamassa before stumbling across and and the band on the Bob and Tom show. I am a die hard fan now.

[gavins15]

SRV.

[pull75]

@gavins15 What about SRV? Joe is not SRV He is Joe Bonamassa! SRV is dead get over it. He was and is a legend but you don't have to compare every freaking blues guitarist to him!

[gavins15]

@pull75 sorry didn't mean to hurt you

[pull75]

@gavins15  HAHAHA You didn't I just get sick of people posting SRV on other blues guys stuff! Its dumb :)

[soulpatch29]

I like that Joe is just pretty much just straight into his amp. Only effect is a tube screamer.

[MoreGilmour]

@soulpatch29 Ha, you might want to type in "Joe Bonamassa amps pedals and equipment" in the search bar. You might be surprised to see he uses a little more than just a tube screamer.

[plumber601]

The voice being a bit off is one of the great gifts of live performing. I would muchj rather hear it this way then loisten to some one try to lipsync to an overdubbed, over engineered recording

[mojo292]

Joe probably didn't even get a chance to let his vocals recover from the gig the night before. He just sounds a little fatigued vocally, still way better than what I would ever do at my best hour of the day, lol. Rock on Joe! ;-)

[mvantwittedorp]

Joe's voice is normally much better than in this performance.Probably it was to early in the morning however his guitarplay is the best of all ever!

[mvantwittedorp]

Joe's voice is normally much better than in this performance.Probably it was to early in the morning

[marcuslaz]

The guy is stuck in a studio booth without his usual rig and wearing headphones to play live - you never get a decent "feel" with that kind of set up - give him a break - it sounds OK for a TV show.

[HFTONE]

Don't like it?? Don't listen or post your stupid comments. Idiots..................

[HFTONE]

@HFTONE If idiots made the world go around, we'd all be dizzy as hell......

[weirdotis]

This is great... What's with all the negative comments? His guitar sounds in tune, and he had a sinus infection a week prior to this... so stop whining.

[jaybone23]

I don't think it's bad at all. I was listening to Bob & Tom that morning. He played some other stuff and it sounded great. I mean, he would KNOW if his guitar was outta tune! Maybe the mix isn't the best, but I wouldn't be ashamed of this performance or anything. Ya just can't please some people.

[DaveRingle]

Joes first bad performance!

[snookz101]

Saw him in Red Bank NJ last week. He was sick with sinus infection probably some carry over from that.

[dzr1974]

They do these shows at like 7am, probably not the best time for most artists.

[iac6969]

ok just went to the live version sounds the same???

[telemaster17]

It sounds like he was really sick or something

[Brickma227]

Not the best in terms of what he's capable of. And im the biggest Bonamassa fan around. Maybe its the sound quality...

[UtRadioGuy]

I had to change the channel durring this. I thought it was horrible. My opinion.

[metfanal]

wow!!! fantastic..thank you!!!!
