Always mad respect for Gibson being cool with showing Fender guitars as well.
True that actually
A cool guitar is a cool guitar. Thanks for watching!!!
Awesome when I get to see a video with Joe and Mark then get to see Robert commented! Win-win-win!
No jealousy over other brands success, unlike other brands do. Gibson are elite
@@gibsonguitar 100% fact
I’d totallly watch a show where Joe finds cool stuff and gear across the word. “Guitar safari with Joe Bonamassa”.
Àlex Oliva yeah man, I’d watch that! Especially if it was setup the way he described guitar safaris with his dad when he was a kid. In other words, Joe just looking through local “for sale” listings like Pennysaver and then showing up at a retired couple’s home and finding something amazing.
or "safari so good - g string diaries"
Or 6th string for a guitar version of top gear lol
Like an American pickers show but with joe bonomassa and guitars??!!! Sounds fun!!! Lol
@@richardshank7659 I simply put on blackface go into town and experience peoples reactions - I'm not joking its a total distraction from any negative thoughts as all people gang together in condemnation of me - it puts things in perspective that no matter how bad your life gets - people hate black people more - I'm not racist I understand its a compliment to black people that I walk in their shoes - but they don't seem to like a mirror being held up - why? god only knows makeup is just that - depression cured
Gibson has nailed it with its videos. It has discovered the secret: telling stories.
But Gibson doesn't tell the story.
@@bluespig1 actually, it does. Without the production and editing these wouldn't be half as interesting as they are. Without the curation and comittment to do it--they wouldn't exist at all. Just ask the guy who never got around to putting this stuff together.
@@I-Libertine spot on
@@bluespig1 they funded it right? So yeah, they are…
Not me, I hate everything Gibson
Gibson please do a tour of the original nerdville and nerdville new York ! We need this
Wait.. there's New York?😶😲 Whaaa...
Boy Aditya yeah I only found this out from this video too
There's a good Nerdville tour on Reverb's UA-cam channel.
@@tombstonejones9581 yeah that’s the original. It’s a good video but it only scratches the surfaces of joes collection . He has some a+ grade stuff tucked away he rarely brings out of there cases
Mark's facial expressions when Joe says "do not refinish a '59 Les Paul" are epic
Tom Johnson while his playing is not for me and I think his music is garbage, I will acknowledge that he can play and certainly is a collector who knows and cherishes his gear, unlike a idiot who buys them and stores then without no playing or knowledge at all.
Tom Johnson Good trolling.
@@deepzepp4176 Not really. Good trolling doesn't stand out. It ropes in morons and enrages them.
Time stamp it, bro
Look at his face at 34:52 , it's like he saw a ghost.
I will never not get bored watching Bonamassa's extensive collection of guitars and the stories behind them all. Still amazing. Every. Single. Time.
Is that a “not” too many?
@@IrishBog 😂😂
check out the Rick Nielson episode.... wow
How did he get so rich and collect so much? A lot from Dad?
33:04 "I buy the story, the instrument comes free" is my favourite line in all of this. Amazing stuff
Platinum UA-cam output - just didn't want this to end, like ever.
Mark’s interviewing skills are getting better - he’s actually letting Joe talk instead of answering his own questions. Great job on this one. I feel like this is an episode of hoarders but in an immaculate home.
Difference between hoarder and collector, money.
Arthur D Duda Well that and a bit of cleanliness
Agree...no doubt the many constructive comments posted after the first three interviews had something to do with it. I remarked myself regarding Mark's penchant for interrupting, stepping on, and completing sentences for the interviewee. So rude and amateurish. He clearly has been coached and rehearsed this time around, thankfully.
@@robclute very true , but you can only imagine 20 years from now will Joe be on a revamped American Pickers where we can watch two guys climbing over piles of junk in a barn and making offers to Joe who keeps saying no i want to keep that , .. that show cracks me up, a guy about 80 with a yard and house that looks like a garbage dump refusing to sell its like. .. look grandpa take the money they offer on everything cause your family is just going to throw it all out when you die and hate you for leaving such a mess for them to have to deal with.
too bad he's chewing on that gum so loud that you can hear it
I love that Joe respects the history of the guitars and the guitarists who rocked them, plus he's an awesome player.
“I buy the story... the instrument comes free.”
making your walk-in closet your vintage guitar closet - he's living the dream
Here is a man that has sunk all his love, all his money and reverence back into what he values. Living and breathing it to preserve what has to be one of the greatest collections. It may feel to close too our yesterdays, but a collection that will have helped save our musical heritage. It may not have been his intention but it will help define the future of this art form. Hats off to you Joe. What we will appreciate the most is the axes on the edge of disaster that make well worn guitars, play another day. It has an untenable value as joy that we experience can’t be measured. I can only hope that when he passes, that it will be stipulated that a large portion of this collection be used again in private, in public and used in recordings of music that is yet to be penned.
I like how this series doesn’t edit out the Fenders in the scenes. Recognises that most Fender lovers also love Gibson and vice versa.
I love how Joe B. explains the history of each guitar. He gives them a soul and a story.
I might be a strat guy but mad respect for making these Gibson... really makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger then a piece of wood with strings and some metal, I legit really really enjoy watching These
Gibson guitars take more time to make then Fenders do......
@@darrylcole5575 so?
Fantastic video guys. Joe oozes a genuine passion and enthusiasm for this stuff, which is infectious.
Would love to see that '55 hardtail in your hands Chris. Also - if you were ever approached by Gibson to make a signature Gibson - what would it be?
I'm left with the feeling that Joe would happily give the same tour to anyone who shows an interest, just because he loves the role of custodian so much. The '55 hardtail strat is the most gorgeous strat I have ever seen. Something about the burst and it being a hardtail. Thanks Mark and Gibson for doing this. By far my favourite episode!
Joe Bonermaster has a stellar collection.
This guy is a genius. I've followed him for 6/7 years by now, I'm just getting surprised every single new vids I see.
He bring vintage and rare guitars in the spot, on tour, and the guitar community can't be enough grateful to him
Joe seems to be the nicest, nerdiest and yet coolest collector out there. I knew this would be a great episode right off the bat. And after talking about the first guitar for what seems like fifteen minutes before even opening the case, I knew I was right
I was fortunate enough to see him in the wild checking out a 355 in my local store. The dude is a monster - I don’t mean that in a bad way- he loves this stuff and actively chases it. Pretty cool and an amazing collector and musician.
All I can say is, Joe's music is basically a portion of my life and has been for over 20 years. Couldn't live happily without it now.
The HAR guitar story is awesome! I had that poster on my wall too
cool
HAR guitar?
It's a 55 strat My friend has a 54 and it's much heavier than I expected it to be
I have always appreciated Mark and his knowledge of guitars. He was the main reason I started watching videos on UA-cam. Joe is the absolute BEST and I listen to him just about every day. By far my favorite! So talented and down to earth!
With as many guitars Mark has seen in his life, he still lights up when seeing something great. Well done!
Aside from the wonderful collection Joe has amassed, it is very heartwarming to know that there are collectors out there who do it for love of the instrument rather than for the willingness to flip it for the love of money. Cheers...
I feel privileged to be able to see some of Joe's collection and hear the stories about them. Thank you Mr. Bonamassa!! I love that you have kept them as their previous owners personalized them! It makes them so more real and alive. They have all had a life!! So cool! It's like they have worked hard all of their life and can now rest in Nerdville. And still come out and play occassionally.
I am not fond of his music, but do recognize that he is very talented, smart and educated, I have always enjoyed listening to his stories and free knowledge about guitars. Hope to have more of this soon!
Joe loves to talk. We love to listen
I started watching this 42 minutes ago, it is now 4am and I don't regret it, but I'll be continuing this in the morning. It's always cool to see Bonamassa and all of his killer instruments.
Kinda wish they showed alot more guitars, cant get enough of joes collection
I could watch this all day.Thank you Gibson!
I hope after this, that you do a part 2 in Nerdville West... I know we would ALL love to see that black burst... Love Gibson and their artist friends for putting these together. Cheers to Mark for being a great interviewer and knowledgable historian in his own right. Please keep these coming. Slash, Zakk, Joe Perry and Billy Gibbons would be lovely additions...
These two work so well together. Agnesi doing what he does best and always a pleasure listening to Joe talk about his guitars. Great stuff
"I buy the story...the instrument comes free." Amazing.
Amazing, I can watch this all day. Thanks Joe and Gibson 🙏
i could literally watch another few hours, what an awesome home full of history owned by a very decent guy , thanks for a great video Mark
I've been looking forward to this one. What a collection, amazing stories and Joe's place is incredible. Also, I really got lost in thought thinking about when Joe said he's essentially just a caretaker of these instruments while we're all here. He's keeping the memories and stories alive of the people who owned and cared for these instruments before him. Thanks for an inspiring video.
It is wild to ponder how not a single earthly possesion is truly ever ours in any permanent sense. The things we own become a part of who we are--defining our interests and passions in a tangible way. But at the end of the day, none of it is coming with us. It's all left behind for future generations, to become part of who they are and what defines them. Take care of your valuable possesions while you're here, embrace the cycle.
Can we just do a series of episode where Joe covers literally everything he owns? I could watch him talk about gear for hours. He knows the ins and outs of the item’s history and makes it super personal.
Kinda cool Joe got a place in Nashville for Mark since he moved half way across the country for the Gibson Gig.
Oh boy, this is going to be great
An excellent episode. Mark listened more than talked. No hyperbole or use of “iconic” or “authentic”. Came across as very genuine and professional. Mr Bonamassa is a complete treasure and his commitment to maintaining historic instruments and kit is wonderful.
Listening to Joe talk about guitars is like listening to Mickelson talk about golf....and I f*ing love it!
What a lovely chap.
I agree...it’s the STORIES and the PEOPLE behind the instruments that make it worthwhile...without that, these guitars are just stuff to toss away to time!!!!
It's so cool Agnesi and Gibson doing this, showing others brands, like Big F, and just telling stories. What a great show.
I would genuinely love to spend a day at Nerdville. Joe seams like a really cool, kind, humble human being.
Without a doubt Joe is one of the best blues guitarist ever and if you love guitars the stories are wonderful
one of the most impressive collection ever, a true encyclopedia, thank you Joe and thank you Gibson !
A big thank you to Joe Bonamassa for sharing and preserving these wonderful guitars and amps for future generations. Lets hope the next owners do the same.
He has a condo in NY overlooking Central Park in addition to his LA place. Three houses full of gear!
Joe bonamassa and his stories is one of the reasons why I loved those norms videos. Of course GOTD had me hooked daily. But I love listening to the night watchman at a guitar shop in the valley tell the stories about his guitars. Thanks joe! Thanks mark!
I have been waiting weeks for this episode, ever since Mark posted with Joe after filming. This is awesome!!!
For folks that don't know, Terry Reid is a UK singer who was on the "short list" to be the singer for Zeppelin and then Deep Purple , both of which he turned down, so the legend goes..
Time is relative when people who loves guitars talk about their love for guitars. 1 hour passed by like 5 minutes.
Joe is living the dream of millions of people. Thank you gibson keep the great youtube content coming
Just an awesome collection....no one loves guitars like Joe.
I could listen to Joe's stories all night long, history baby!!!
We can all appreciate Joe as a fellow nerd and collector, regardless if you like his music or not. I personally don’t, but I love his knowledge and can hear him speak for hours and hours. Also, props to Gibson for showing all the other great guitars out there.
Very classy to show guitars besides gibsons, best episode so far
Cool guitars are cool guitars!!!!
Love seeing Gibson show kudos to its rival brands. So much respect for being humble in your winnings.
Joe has the greatest collection of guitars and amps on the planet, imo.
I love Joe Bonamassa. Not only is he an incredibly talented musician, but he is at heart a pure guitar lover. Not only does he play the music and make a living with them, but you can tell he just genuinely loves them. He probably feels as though they are his children.
Wow! That Nashville skyline at night is super sweet!! I think that the little woman and I are gonna have to visit Tennessee soon!! Maybe we’ll drive down via the Smokey mountain route!!
The Ragin Cajun has to be my favorite burst. The double whites against the deep red burst is phenomenal
TN loves you Joe!
This was a good one . Took me a sec to settle in but watched the whole vid.. what a great guy Joe is . Mark to
I’m just going to say Mark, you’re killing it man. I was worried when you made the transition because of all the people trying to make you fail. I love what you’ve done and I think the best part is that this is a Gibson video... and they aren’t trying to shut down other brands and just embracing the history because we love them all. Thanks for this one! Been waiting on this a long long time. Wish Joe would do an updated video of the original Nerdville!
I followed mark from His vids on guitar of the day. Best thing I love about his style on interviews.. he knows heaps about guitar but shuts up after asking a question and gives the talent heaps of room to breathe. Makes for awesome clips!
Love when Joe was talking about the '59 Burst and says "This stuff is still out there, it's not all spoken for". Right, it WAS out there until guys like you and Seagal, Gilmore, Steve Miller, etc., and museums started hoarding it! And once these guys or a big time guitar shop gets their mitts on the stuff, it's priced hopelessly out of reach for the average guy. But I guess that's true of cars or butterflies or whatever else gets collected?
"I buy the story, the guitar comes for free". Best line of the whole video & genuinely explains his guitar collecting obsession. F'n awesome.
Always love it when Joe shows off some of his collection. He's a real class act, and makes us all in CNY proud.
Love the collection series Gibson have been doing. Beautiful guitars like these really deserve to be seen, heard and enjoyed and not simply locked up to pay someone’s retirement pension!
I'm 42 seconds in (paused it) and i'm already having a ball! First of all, the video is 1 hour and 13 minutes long. Second, two of my favorite people in the guitar community are in it!!! Let's go!!!
This is terrific! Mark is great when it comes to showing vintage instruments. He is truly in his element and what he knows best.
Best Joe Bonamassa interview- period.
We need one with nerdville west too,make it feature length too so we see all the goodies.
Thanks Joe and thanks Gibson! Loved seeing the collection.
Tell Mark his efforts on the various Gibson TV series he does are very much appreciated...just great content!
50+ years from now, there will be one of the largest vintage gear collection to hit the market in New York, California, and Tennessee.
😂
That EB-6 is killer. Gibson or Epiphone should do a reissue (with an adjustable bridge).
Would've loved to have heard him play it! Don't think I've ever heard PAFs on a bass before
I don’t care much for his guitar playing, but I respect his enthusiasm
Furthermore, he is generous with charitable events
Kudos
I'll clean do laundry cook, whatever it takes just to hang at Joe's place, One of my favorite YT video ever.
"I buy the story, the instrument comes free"...yeah man!!!
I'm just as enamoured with the ads, posters, signs and memorabilia. Guitarist like to be fans of products. The rca sign that appears in the background, how cool.
Love stuff like this and mad props for also showing non Gibson stuff. This kind of content represents exactly what so many of us want Gibson to be. Many thanks and great job!
Both nerdvilles are every vintage guitar lovers dream
I love the way Joe describes a guitar like he's describing a fine vintage wine. Thanks for the great show Joe and Mark you were pretty good too.
Big THANK YOU to Gibson for creating all this cool new content with Gibson TV!
It’s cool to see what a down to Earth guy Joe is. The world needs more people like him.
RedShiftRider agreed. Jeez man, the music business needs more guys like him.
Gibson TV is super on it these past couple months with Mark..keep these coming !
I love watching everything Bonamassa, I love his story, and his passion for great vintage stuff, and his passion for helping keep blues alive, etc.
ya props to gibson for not being snobby about fender, they should realize they share pretty much the same audience, great to see some mutual respect . If joe did a show on guitars, I'd watch it religiously, he's a great brand ambassador for both brands.
"yikes" ... "yikes is right". You guys are killing me!!!
When I die I don't want to go to heaven, I want to go to Nerdville East! Thanks.
mad respect for Joe. He's a curator of all this cool history. Couldn't think of a better guy for this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing with us!
Insane collection! Any one of those guitars should sound absolutely amazing
By far one of the best videos ever . Joe is one of the best and Mark is so cool. Together what more can you say. There priceless. Thanks again for the great tour and wonderful history of some bueatiful instruments. Stay safe and well guys. Signed John Zepbass.
.
I know Joe is talking about the Farewell Cream shows at RAH...but it has been proven that Eric used the Fool SG on the famous ‘Wheels Of Fire’ version of “Crossroads”.
I could listen to this man talking about his collections for days
Loved this so much!!!....thank you Gibson!!....The brand copied by everyone, but beat by no one!!.
