Keep in mind that with the resources that Joe B has earned, he donates more than most of us to guitar and music education, and to other artists who deserve to have a chance to record an album.
That’s a very good point! If you create more, you can give more 🚀❤️
Good luck to the guy. Not a big fan of his music, but he has earned his stripes. Better to buy gear than blow it on fast cars and drugs.
100% mate! Hope you’re doing great by the way 🚀❤️
Aw, give more credit to fast cars. Yeah, I'm kidding.... He's a great talent who has done a lot to sustain a successful career. Congrats to him!
Seen him on TV and UA-cam numerous times. I attended a concert that was very enjoyable but not totally over the top great either. Joe seemed to play to the crowd so much that he seemed a bit irritated at times that the audience was a bit subdued with some of his playing. In my opinion there are many great blues guitar players these days, both recording and touring that put on better shows. Cudos to him for his embracing this vintage style of guitar playing and equipment, wishing him the best. I will vote with my wallet when I find some of his playing to be a bit more compelling. That may happen one day, until then I will be voting for the myriad of players out there doing it more succinctly.
@@abebrock5559 I appreciate your comment, except for the lack of your listing of "the myriad of players out there doing it more succinctly." You said "seemed" a few times, and "in my opinion", so I look forward to being enlightened to the "more compelling" options.
@@jergervasi3331and the drugs
It’s jealousy. These are the same people that would dislike a coworker who had a nicer car than them. Joe Bonamassa is an amazing player. I’ve had the fortune to see him live on several occasions. He puts on a great show and leaves it all on the stage. Additionally, it’s awesome to see and hear all of the vintage gear.
WELL SAID! THANK YOU! JEALOUSY SPAWNS HATE!
IF SRV WAS STILL AROUND, IT MIGHT BE QUITE DIFFERENT! NO BETTER BLUES/ROCK PLAYER THESE DAYS PERIOD! JUST SAYIN` NO ONE! 🤩
For me, it irritates me when wealthy people hoard valuable equipment, thereby cornering the market instead of allowing other people to enjoy it.
@@Rhythmicons
His father owned a guitar shop, since he was a baby. That’s why he’s had access, and collected vintage gear for so long.
It’s been a business, buying another five figure or six figure guitar, amp, etc. as well as everything that costs less, for a long time now.
You really think he’s paying the luxury tax on all those ridiculously priced Les Paul’s?
I’m sure he has many, as a private owner, but it’s a business.
He and his father have been doing this for over three decades.
I have nothing against him, but I also just don’t have think about him unless he’s brought up.
I’ve known his story, since the 90’s.
@@CorbCorbin It's not just JB, but a lot of people. I collect vintage instruments as well, mostly Moog, but I'm just a nobody who likes to use authentic vintage sounds on my own recordings. Because of folks like JB and other wealthy individuals, we are all priced out. The amp in my avatar is a '64 blonde 6g6B Bassman. JB has the tweed market cornered in the same was Leno's car collection is a whole generation's worth of wealth. It may be a business for him but I suspect he's really just hoarding them for investment purposes.
@@Rhythmicons He says that he will sell anything that he has. He collects this stuff "so he knows where it is". Those are the words he used. He's not really hoarding anything. If you want a Mary Kay strat (which are stunning), he has a whole bunch to choose from. He keeps his collection in playing shape and that's a big-time favor to the next person that plays it. He's the kinda nut that probably fixes all of those amps. What a terrible person. ;)
Joe is an incredibly talented musician who has put in countless hours of work into his craft. It shows too.🎸🎸🎸😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘😝🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Very true!! Some of the licks and solos he plays genuinely blow my mind 🤯👏❤️
Actually, he was born with God given talent. 95% of guitarists could practice 12 hours per day for 20 years and will never get close to his talent. Either ya born with it, or ya not.
You have to practice to play that well. He's earned what he has...
I wonder how many hours he’s put in 🤯🚀
@@PedalPawn a whole lot....
He's got my respect.
His personal life is not my business.
I'm in my lane.
@@PedalPawn by the way, I need a Pedal Pawn Fuzz. I've never used a pedal. Just a Champ and a Telecaster. Send one with a scratch on it or something inexpensive.
Nah, ya born with it. God given talent.
Met Joe at the Baked Potato, He was great to me,when he really didn't need to be, I could tell he wasn't having like the best of the days, but he was very good to me and even gave me some advice as a musician myself.
Joe is the Nerdville custodian and there's nothing wrong with that. When you listen to him talk about guitars/amps, it's obvious that it's not a passing hobby. When he dies I suspect a lot his equipment will go to museums and related music charities.
"When he dies", real musicians will rejoice.
@@Cantbuyathrillwhat a weird comment. You’ve had 3 months to delete it too that’s the crazy thing.
Joe Bonamassa is a great great great guitarist and artist!! He has inspired me so much to play guitar and he is in the top 5 of my fav guitarists. He likes to buy guitars, he can buy them, as long as he plays the blues on them, it's super okay with me !
Awesome insight! Thanks a lot for leaving the nice comment 🚀🎸
Right on Chris!! People bitch about everything. Bottom line, the dude worked and continues to work his ass off. No different than you have to build your company. Great video man.
Thank you very much for that mate ❤️🚀
@@PedalPawn You’re welcome man.
Love JB and his passion for blues music and vintage gears. I am not a jealous guy. More power to him.
Joe is one of the hardest working musicians in the biz, and he's a nice guy. He does fund raising for the homeless in Los Angeles as well as other charities. He didn't know me from anyone from off the street, but through an acquaintance, I was invited to attend his band's, at the time, rehearsal before they went on a tour. While the band was taking a break, he invited me over sit and chat with him. There were probably less than a dozen guests in the studio for the rehearsal, so it was very intimate. At the time, Carmine Rojas was his bass player, so I got to meet him as well. They even gave me their cell numbers to be able to stay in contact with them them. Joe is a total guitar nerd. His love for guitar's and amps and the history of them is a driving factor in his obsession to collect. He even admits he is an obsessive compulsive personality. I'm sure it played a part in his relentless practicing and learning of mastering guitar through out his life. He has admitted that his obsessive nature is a primary reason he stopped drinking. He knew if he kept getting deeper and deeper into it, like he has with guitar, that alcohol would probably have consumed him and ruined his life. So, good for him for having the ability to recognize the potential danger for him, and avoiding being the next sad story of great artists becoming addicts and dying way before their time. If he keeps going the he has been, he will go down as one of the most legendary guitarist of all time.
Joe worked for everything he has, so yeah, he deserves it.
There's always going to be haters because they're just jealous. A real musician doesn't concern himself with a one up manship or a division of class. it's all about the art.
The entire blues awards booed him.. hmmm
So if we criticize or critique somebody is because we're jealous? If somebody says you're an idiot, is that because they're jealous, or (to be more precise) ENVIOUS?
So well said man
Everything is harder now . To be a top golfer , darts player , footballer whatever. Everyone is so much better. So to be at the top of his game ....fair play to him .Rock on Joe .
Matthew Scott is the only one who has managed to avoid hate in his comments for his vintage gear.
Matthew is awesome! He’s great at sourcing good deals, and also restoring old gems 🚀🎸
That will hold up until Matthew Scott makes it big....then out will come the haters!
He just don’t care about your opinion!
One thing about Joe is his vast knowledge of everything in the music realm. Im very grateful for him to share his opinions and experiences with gear and music. Ive learned tons from his stories and advice. He seems like a genuine person, too. Not the biggest fan of his music but im a fan of his knowledge.
his interviews are very insightful and helpful
I grew up in the same area as Joe. We had the same guitar teacher. Joe was born with a gift, and I'm glad that he didn't squander it. Joe was able to achieve success without selling his soul to the record companies. Joe has a true passion for guitars, and I couldn't think of anyone else who would be able to keep and preserve such a wonderful collection. Even if some of us had his guitars, we wouldn't have the resources to maintain them. Joe is like the Jay Leno of guitars. Joe may not have lived the blues, but he has respect for the blues. While Joe is jamming away on his 59 Les Paul, I'll be jamming away on my 2005 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded T...and working long hours and paying heavenly bills...the bills that kill.
Dude can you post a full version of that tune ur playing? And what is it? Sounds awesome
Saw him last year. The music was good. The band was good. The singers were good. Reese was awesome. Mr. B was humble, lauded his stagemates, joked with the singers, talked with the audience, and came across as an average joe who knows his equipment and plays better than 99.9% of us.
I have nothing but respect for Joe B. He's obviously put in his time cause he can play his ass off! Cheers!🤘
The only thing controversial in this is “The Title” JB is an absolute legend!!!! I’ve personally met him more than once at the Albert Hall, him and his band are so generous with their time and the charity work is unbelievable!!! So definitely no complaints here…. 🎸👍
Bonamassa is really into certain gear. Some think he's bragging; I think he's just an honest in-your-face geek. The guy has worked hard, was smart about his money, and, like anybody really, deserves to be himself. I'm more of a metal player and not into most of his blues/rock, but he's a great player and I don't get all the criticism - if it's not your style, listen to something else.
He's living the reality so many musicians world wide have dreamed of, and I'm sure it's made some people a bit envious. He's living the result of all the hard work he's put into developing his following over many, many years. He never stops. Nor should he. He seems to love what he's doing, and so do a great many fans.
You could say the same thing for anyone who got famous and ammased a fortune ,he put in massive hard work! He never really struggled badly but he's got great talent and work ethic idk i once thought a little that way towards joe after i had gotten into him but now i think more as you said it ! He's great and he deserves it
A great insight there, thanks a lot for the comment 🚀❤️
Definitely loved early 2000s Joe better, but he's put in the work and earned every bit of his success the hard way.
Love him...hate him... who cares ? Worry 'bout your damn self !!! Lol.
“There’s always someone with more gear than you… unless you’re Joe Bonamassa” 😂
Good for him. He cares about the gear, knows how to use it all - and doesn’t hide these things away in a vault.
I’m not a fan of his music really but I love his noodling when he’s messing around.
Joe is a modern day blues hero. He is an ambassador for the genre with his 'Keeping the blues alive' cruises where ordinary people get to rub shoulders with blues legends. He promotes up and coming artists through his media channels. How can anyone be more giving to the industry? I love him I love his ethos I love his music. I love his passion for gear. If he has the money why not indulge your passion. I would if I were in his shoes. Keep on keeping on Joe Bonamassa you're a legend and an inspiration.
Love Joe. Haven’t missed seeing him in my city for the last 10 years
He's obsessed with what he does. I love him for that. I would do the same because I love guitars and guitar amps
Dude, what did you used to get that guitar tone in intro??? Sounds great!
I discovered Blues very late. I literaly discovered artists like Kirk Fletcher and Josh Smith through Joe Bonamassa. And I literally discovered SRV and Albert King through John Mayer. 🤷♂
Joe is the most Loved Man in Blues as well. He spreads it to people who might never hear it.
Dont sweat the haters Joe !! You have earned everything you got !!!
He's by far my favorite guitarist. Got front row seats to his show here in about 3 weeks and can't freaking wait.
I think the fact that bonamassa has a massive collection of guitars and amps is his right. It doesn’t take away from his immense talent. You can strip him down to one amp and one guitar and he’s still leaps and bounds above most. The gear doesn’t make him, he makes the gear. I won’t say he’s the best guitarist out there, but he’s the best for what he does. His style is unique and has mastered it and I thoroughly enjoy what he brings to the table
I'd rather be hated than ignored.
To each his own. Great video and awesome work man! 🔥🎸
SRV died else he may have gone on to even greater things. You can’t really knock Joe. He does what he wants and has talent and a huge ability. Respect to him. He is also passionate about guitars, amplifiers and pedals and is immersed in his music and its history. He has some great collaborations to and works hard
Nothing wrong with the guy he earned his success
If you see him in concert, you will leave a changed person.
I got to see Joe Bonamassa at an intimate show at The Troubadour a couple of years ago. His playing was undeniably fluid and what you’d expect from top tier blues guitar music. I didn’t really like his singing voice though and even though I thought he sounded great at guitar, my takeaway was he was someone that I personally couldn’t see myself becoming a devoted fan of. I kind of see what you’re saying about him being hated though. To me no one has picked up where Stevie Ray Vaughan left off in the genre of blues guitar.
Having said that, whether or not I like or not like a musician is less important than say that musician’s ability to inspire a kid to pick up a guitar. For the latter reason, he’s okay in my book because I could see a kid hearing him and being like, “yeah that’s what I want to try to do.” So yeah, Bonamassa to me even though I respect his talent and ability his music is missing that certain something for me to get really into.
Joe fan here. I like the way he promotes other blues artists both new and old. I especially like when he plays traditional blues songs.
Joe is one of my favorite players to listen to, and as a player I can explain why he deserves to be where he is in the grand scheme of things
I like Joe. He always jokes about his GAS. He just has the means to take it to levels most can only dream of. He's a collector who also plays. Then there's Jim Isray who has a collection of guitars that makes Joe's look like mine.
He's a damn good guitar player. He should form a band with young people.
More power to him... He's self-made and has every right to enjoy the fruits of his labor, which by the way, he shares with us.
Jealousy happens, it has nothing to do with Joe.
I agree ❤
Joe is a fantastic guitar player and while his music is rooted in blues it’s mainly rock blues that’s very polished.
I’m still waiting to hear a stripped down maybe refined solo from him where fewer notes are played.
Loved his tone on tracks like blues deluxe but for me players like bb, Clapton and even John Mayer play with a delicate touch and throughout their careers discovered less is more.
What’s the tune your playing in this video
Joe B is a great player period . He put the work in forhis success and who cares what he spends his money on ? Talent is talent . Period .
Don’t understand the hate he always seems a down to earth humble guy and his is an absolute amazing guitarist I think he is great and a gift to the world
Love Black Country Communion, and his tributes to blues legends. Slow Gin is cool tune
I think he’s great and I think people having great kit is awesome. I think it’s beautiful when people have a passion and infatuation with instruments and equipment. It shows true dedication to the art and craft when someone spends time and monetary value investing in creating a sound. I don’t own a house but I own some things that sound beautiful 🤩
What's to hate? Yeh, he's a bit nerdy and that might come across as arrogant at times (???) I've seen him live twice (and have a ticket for the Albert Hall this year) and was utterly blown away both times - Over the years I've seen some of the guitar greats and he's right up there. And, as a guitarist and guitar geek, what a treat it is to see these iconic tools of the trade showcased - rather him than some investor locking his 59 Lester or Dumble amp away in a bank vault. And, John Mayer is really, really good but doesn't belong in the same sentence as SRV (in my opinion) in fact great guitarists probably shouldn't be compared they're all doing what they do in their own way and we gat to hear it - lucky us 🙂
There’s an old saying that goes…if you’re not turning people off you’re not turning people on. Kudos to JB. Success well deserved
Very interested to see someone run with this topic.. I like listening to the guy's music, I like hearing him speak, I find him engaging. My take on the "gear" is that he is taking fine instruments out of the hands of musicians... That makes me wince....
Joe has worked for every guitar he owns. He is the hardest working musician out there, touring over 200 days a year, and recording the rest of the time. His latest album Blues Deluxe 2 has numerous "real" blues songs for all the purists here. I love his live dvds, especially Tales of Times which is simply perfect.
I'm not the biggest fan ever but I've seen him play live a few times, he's pretty good
People need an excuse to hate someone.
Great video and I totally agree. I love Joe and for the regular folks like myself, seeing and hearing Joe play those guitars and amps is the closest a lot of people will get to them. And it's great that he actually plays them and they're not locked up in a safe to never be seen again. I was also lucky to have met him twice and he's a genuinely nice guy. Rock on Joe 🤘🤘
Philip Sayce Tab Benoit, Irene ketikedi are damn good, play from the heart and soul
love joe b, such an awesome guitarist. saw him live last year, best concert ive been to
Joe is keeping blues relevant. A part of that is the gear. He is the tom brady of current blues. Im glad to be here to see it.
Joe is awesome! Lots of musicians have a horde stored away in a place we never see, JB shares his and they are usually magnificent! Am I jealous, hell yes!!!!😊
Good video. Good topic. I absolutely applaud JB’s success. Long live the blues. I anxiously watch and enjoy any gear discussion he’s a part of.
He's awesome, don't know why people treat him like he's nickleback of the blues. Started as a kid, worked his way...
Totally agree with you chris. Definitely no reason not to like him. Regardless of whether or not he's the go to bluesman. He's definitely earned his position. The only thing I have issues with
Is that the mainstream radio doesn't play his music even though he's been all over the world recorded with countless people and has earned the accolades to show for his work. He has my respect.
Im a blues player and learned by ear in the southern US where it all started,. Joes passion comes out in his playing and it`s undeniable, Just like Stevie Ray and John Mayer, John built his carreer off bubble gum candy rock for girls , It broke him into mainstream and Stevie and Joe didnt get that. For traditional blues I dont think of John so much as I do Stevie and Joe. and if Stevie had not died OMG. I think Joe Bonamassa Loves with a passion the blues and the gear so much that is all he has ever done. Ever.. He will go down as one of the greats.
No he's nothing like srv, he knows a lot about the neck but he don't have the feel
@@tomarnott949 A few years ago I would've agreed with you. But I think he's really gotten a lot better at leaving space and expressing emotions through his playing.
I’ve followed Joe since he was sixteen or seventeen. He was great back then and has earned everything through hard work, he even spent time with one of D.C.’s greatest, Danny Gatton. He has gone down a questionable path with having Kevin Shirley’s producing IMO. That’s my opinion. As far as guitar collecting he grew up around that from his father, I wish my father had that hobby but he was too busy working 3-4 jobs. In summation he has earned everything he has and more power to him.
The first time I saw Joe was at Toad's and it probably cost me about $40 tops to do that. Since his coming out as it were in 2009 after playing the RAB the cost of seeing Joe has increased exponentially and I don't begrudge him one penny because I think he's earned it but I personally as a fan from the early days of him playing clubs can no longer afford to experience his talent first hand anymore. To think that it know costs over $600 for a 3rd row seat in a theatre is mindboggling
Toad's in New Haven CT is an awesome place. Been there many times and have seen some of my favorite bands and up real close. Just good times. I really miss the place, in SC now.
Can you do a video where you do the glassy tone with the fuzz pedal on a Les Paul?
People can say what they want but I love the passion he has for the music. Seen him live and it made sense why he is the way he is, Joe can really play with feel,I left his show feeling inspired.
Joe Bonamassa is A # 1 the Duke,he learned the business as a relative of Norms rare guitars, he mastered guitar and the business my hat off to him as a 62 year old blues guitarist.
I saw him in 2005 at The Flowerpot in Derby - first time in the UK. It was amazing. His Vox 847 broke during the set, and he ripped it off his pedalboard and gave it to one lucky audience member. Not me unfortunately. He used a Budda combo and mainly his gold sparkle Strat. Seen him a few times since, but the first time is always the best.
Joe is deservingly successful. His guitarslinging prowess is commendable.
I don't see why people hate on him so much.
It's his money, he can do with it what he wants.... There are worse investments than guitar gear. Don't like his playingstyle and don't know a single song of him but he deserves it........... Respect for Joe👍👍👍
Hardcore fan here, sorry for my bias but if all the haters would seen him live once, I think they would switch to the other side. He and his band is INCREDIBLE live, best concerts I ever attended. Also met him on a blues cruise, super nice and he has a great sense of humor and sarcasm, this is interpreted lot of times wrongly on the social media but he is an absolute full of passion towards gear and giving all back to the audience and the blues community. Haters gonna hate but you gotta respect the working musician in him, touring more than hardly any.
The only thing that annoys me about guys like Bonnamassa and Mayer is not *them*, but the cults of worship that follow them, to the point where they are considered the foremost authorities on "gear". If Mayer or Bonnamassa like something, it immediately get elevated to rarefied status. I don't mean to say that a Klon Centaur, for instance, isn't a good overdrive pedal, but there are other pedals on the market as good and even better. The number of times other guitarists drop their names make me think that a lot of guitarists just can't think for themselves or use their own ears.
Bingo!
Joe is Great! Blues Deluxe is just Superb! Amazing guitar skills and player, ❤️ Blues! 🎸🎸
He does know his stuff!. I've seen a few of his gigs on UA-cam too and the shows are pretty decent! 👌😎🎸
Not my favorite Blues player but after watching him in many videos, he is one of my favorite celebrities.
MASSIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR BAND ....... AND MUSIC OF COURSE. HE IS AMAZING
Joe is really humble. A wealth of information and he is generous with his time. I met him when he dud the 1st Blues Deluxe in a small club. Can't say i pay attention to his newer stuff but i love his blues style
Joe B is a great example of hard work and unwavering desire to rule the world with six strings and a Marshall Jubilee
The dude is amazing ...his talent and passion are undeniable.
joe is great. i personally never really got into his music back then, i thought he was just a flashy player. but if you just sit down and listen you cant deny his skill and passion for the blues. ive been listening to alot of his bar concerts in nashville. hes awesome. cant really hate the dude, plus his gear collection is badass.
He’s paid his dues and deserves what he’s got! Never been a fan but you can’t argue that he knows his stuff and has worked hard to get it!
Joe B. I think deserves all the wealth, he’s earned it. I like his music and not only his great guitar work, his voice is perfect for the music. I don’t know why people hate on him, because he can play a harmonic minor scale?? The man wants to keep Americana and its history of instruments and things. What’s wrong with that. Listen to Joe play Sloe Gin and say he can’t play the Blues. Come on man lol. The man is a guitar geek with all the cool things we want. I give the man credit and many fans alike picked up the guitar because of him. Hell, if I ever get lucky I’m calling Joe to come with me to choose my next ‘59 wouldn’t you? lol
What song is this he’s playing ?
Seems to me, he’s the hardest working musician of all time. And not for a short run. He’s been creating great music and live performances, at an incredible pace, for many years. His playing steadily improves as does his song writing and his singing has improved exponentially over the last 4 or 5 albums. His live performances are all studio quality and his supporting artists are obviously happy, appreciate and well supported.
I love Joe
his blues is very expressive and plays outside of the pentatonic box shapes
They're pissed because the guy hasn't reinvented the wheel with his style, but he's doing very well in this business. Fuck them.
Joe is a guy who loves guitars & is a great player. Joe worked really hard to get where he is & deserves his success!!!! Rock on Joe!!!!!
Joe B. is an awesome guitarist. Some will agree with that statement, some won't. He has the means to pursue a passion.
Comment sections are not data. I recognize the irony, here.
I think JB is a great player and I think his attitude towards all the gear he owns is right. He knows he’s just the current custodian of it.
I’m also amazed at anyone who can play a Les Paul and stay in tune. Nice job!
Well done, Joe, I say.. If you want a serious career playing guitar, then you need a unique angle. Mayer carved his own path and fair play to him.. SRV could have stayed with Bowie and made his fortune but chose not to, so the path also has to be true for you. Its always "my favourite is better than your favourite how can yours be more famous?" As an example, in my area over a one week period I saw Eric Gales in a club venue (few hundred), then Jeff Beck in an arena (few thousand) and finally Ed Sheeran in a football stadium (79,000 crowd)..... so usual applied again, haters were "OMG sheeran cant play to save his life....." but truth is the other two couldn't have filled that stadium. As a huge Gary Moore fan, I am glad Joe is helping to partly fill the void.
Envy is a powerful force
When you are touring a lot and bring out 26 or so albums (of which 7 live I believe) it is normal to spend money on what you like (gear to make music).
Joe is more succesfull than his peers due to media as different times in general we live in. In the 60's,70's & 80's people were a bit more into one genre or artist. Nowadays it is pretty normal to listen to multiple genres, due to exposure I think.
Got two albums myself (Live in Amsterdam & Seesaw) and just found out there is an acoustic album live recorded in Carnegie Hall 😮
Everything moves away from roots, a tree grows from the roots to the branches and leaves...
