To put an end to this discussion: This video is just a snippet from his show and seen out of place it may seem like he was making fun of John Lee Hooker. But together with the other comments he made during the show about Hooker and Mayall I don't think the thought he'd make fun of Hooker even occured to anyone in the audiance. That was a friendly and respectful remembrance from a friend who stands above the doubt of making fun of Hooker just like noone thinks I'd make fun of my friends.

i havent seen him with his old battered strat for ages! whats he done with it?

[mrbuff80]

I believe I've seen him with it just this winter. Also this video is just little over a year old,.. so what are you talking about? ;)

Walter + Bonamassa.... best of the current day blues.

[ghostzapper2006]

ummm to all of you

THERE IS NO BEST!

Blues has never been about who the "best" guitar player is, get that through your head, its about soul and expression, stop comparing guitarists, none of them will say that they are the best because they dont care, all of the guys like Trout, Gatton, Clatopn, Buchanan got their influence from a series of guitarists who came before them and added to it, as did the guitarists before them, and thats what blues is, its ever changing, there isn a "bestever"

@coulsonsam87 this show is in europe. you notice no one else has their usual instruments either. I'm sure they just rent instruments when they cross the pond. its what most mid-level bands do.

@ghostzapper2006

I agree the best is whatever you like best, its what your ears hear and what floats your boat ,

i love SRV and JOBO but cant stand hendrix its all in the eye or ear of the beholder surely (and dont call me shirley )

[snakehips81]

Sorry, I got bored after 2 minutes. When does he start imitating John Lee Hooker ?

[begijnenstraat]

I have the same guitar as he uses in this film. And once I was with him and he is really a shy person with a wonderfulle caracter !!!! Love Walter !!! Greetings from Belgium.

they make a great pub band - the kind where the lead guitarist turns everything to 11 and doesn't know when to shut up.

The battered strat is probably too valueable to gig it is 73 a and worth a tiny fortune,and probably thought it might get stolen.
