  1. No Quarter something about that song gets me good.Kinda mesmorizing.
  2. OK Kidmoon I hear you better now.I just get a little riled up with the whole white guy cant/shouldnt be a bluesman.You are right Joes music is polished.I think thats the way he wants it.I have no complaints on that.I also like my raw electric blues as well.kind of a steak and lobster thing for me.Joe has a live cd A new Day Yesterday Live,which if you havent heard, I would say alot less polished.An early cd that alot of his fans sight as their favorite. If you are interested in hearing it,drop me an email. One more thing,I dont think in Joes case that the polish strips away the emotion specially when he plays live.I do agree on your Clapton comment.
  3. just another note .Joe does a Blues In The School program,whre on his own time when he is on the road goes to schools aroun the country to talk to kids about the blues.he is trying to keep the blues alive.not many high schoolers know that much about the blues,so I guess all we can hope for are bad white blues players for the ignorant and middle age white guys of the future.
  4. I would have to wholeheartedly disagree.Blues isnt about race or economic backround,its about feeling/emotion.You didnt have to pick cotton to be a gret blues player.And I will Agree its not just about how well you play the guitar.I have seen Joe Bonamassa play live several times,and what I hear in him is the passion feelig in both his playing and singing.Sure he is mostly a blues/rock guy,but when he plays the blues he plays the blues.He is not some poser.Is he Muddy Waters NO,is he John Lee Hooker,Sonny Boy Williamson,ect no.That generation has mostly passed and now the younger generation that is embrcaing the blues will put their own stamp on it.I am not a traditionalist.I like my blues hardrockin.But I will argue it is still blues.Yes,Joe does appeal to mostly middle age white guys,but we do know better because we have seen them all.We have seen them and realize a great talent.I will say that Led Zepplin is also the blues.THey just took it and changed it into something completely different.music evolves and morphs. Rock and roll came from the blues,it doesnt matter the lines dont have to be drawn in the sand,different styles for different people.
  5. If you like the music then Other albums you would enjoy are Sabatoge,Master of Reality And Vol 4. The first album Black Sabbath you might like also ,it does have a different sound to it though.still heavy more extended songs.All 5 out of 5 stars in my book.
  6. My favorite album too.I think it has been overlooked over the years because of the sucess of Tommy, and Whos Next.But Quad was a masterpiece too.
  7. I have a Bloodline cd the one with Stone Cold Hearted.great cd in my opinion.Wasnt familiar with them when they were together though.Would have liked to have seen them.
  8. If you love the guitar than you have to check Joe Bonamassa out.If you do not then you are doing yourself a big injustice.He is not just good,he is scary good.One of the best I have ever seen.Dare I say maybe the best. All around playing,vocals,songwriting.If you can find the song Pain and Sorrow it will blow you away.What separates JB from the pack is that he can play a multitude of styles,and there all at the highest level,blues ,rock,acoustic,ballads,blues rock,you name it.
  9. Machine Head was the first album Of DP I heard,when I was a kid.Changed my music world forever. Fireball, and In Rock also became instant favorites.I think that it was Lords organ playing along with Blackmore that added that certain something.
  10. I am on the same page with you love the Mick Taylor period the best.Nothing wrong with Wood,but Mick had that sound that really did it for me.And Get Your Ya Yas my fav too.
  11. Ah yes one of my favs too.Dont get much better.
  12. hey all just joined up.thought I would throw my 2 cents in .always been a huge Sabbath fan.early ozzy era. lost interest after then,just wasnt the same.the early stuff seemed to have that heavy groove to it,Tonni kickin it out. hard to pick a definate fav but i guess its the first album,very loose and kind of a heavy jam vibe to it.still sounds great to this day.
