What do you think of Joe Bonamassa?

Question

I got a DVD of his for my birthday. It is a live concert he played, and it rocks! Just curious what others think about him. I know his popularity is growing a lot right now...

Answer 1

amazingly awesome

Answer 2

Well I reckon he's pretty d**n good for his age. Not quite BB King yet but he's got time on his side. He is actually very popular in the UK and that's unusual for one so young. It usually takes a while for Blues Rock men to get established over here.

Answer 3

i think he is very good,  i feel that he is putting a edge on the blues music.. and that he will go far

Answer 4

Does a great cover of Led Zeppelin's "Tea For One". Have heard a cover of Yes' "Starship Trooper" on the net. He definitely can play!

Answer 5

Great!!

Answer 6

not bad.

Answer 7

He's very good, and very humble,

Not you're usual "hot shot" kid

I just saw him at the Fargo Blues Fest,

and he did a clinic at Marguerite's Music in Moorhead for Yamaha acoustics.

He is actually a real monster guitar player,

which he shows during the clinics.

He "holds it down",

simplifies it, in concert, and on the records !!!!

very cool guy

Answer 8

I followed his carreer closely since he started with Bloodline.

his first two albums as Joe Bonamassa showed already his talent of songwriting, his guitar play was than already outstanding. As a youngster of 16 he was on stage with BB King.

two 3 years ago I met him for an interview and could speak to him in a very relaxed atmosphere. He is a very intelligent young musician that has a lot of background knowledgement about the blues.

He has a crystall clear path that he follows and an open mind to new influences/styles. he gonna be a big star not only in blues.

What people think about him is not of interest for me, I know that he's alright. His popularity in europe is not growing he's already a big boy over here.

Blues

Answer 9

Great guitarist for sure.
