Things like adding MIDI, a direct CabClone, having two graphic EQ's and two lead channels really make this the only Boogie I will ever need.

I just had a very entertaining hour clicking through this thread. I'm friends with a guy who used to be into some of these and used to try and defend Satriani to us ("he's quite tasteful actually, well, compared to Yngwie") but I'm happy to say that he's a Creedence fan now. Had another friend whose sister gave him a present of the G3 Live in Denver DVD (because he played guitar) and we watched it while stoned, which was hilarious for a while, although in the end I was worn down by the sheer quantity of notes.

G3 Live In Denver being a gig featuring Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen, first on their own, and then in a titanic three way display of wank, containing some amazing unintentional moments of hilarity.

i just spent like 5 minutes trying to come up with a succinct description of bonamassa's look. i think he looks like he should be wearing an earpiece while guarding the ramp to a luxury yacht.

what's the general consensus in here on wank rock gods like Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen? They were really idolized by guitar magazines in the 90s. Bought 'surfing with the alien' based on how much Satriani was mentioned and gave it away after a week.

Topic: Bonamaglossary
this is something that was started back on March 11, 2004 on the fansite. Since Joe's forum now allows bring thread to the top, I've moved it here. I didn't copy every post however.There's been some terms that folks have come up with since, please add them if you have them.some of the previous entries lose a little meaning without the 'smilies' from the other site...anyway
Mar 11, 04 - 6:33 PMBonamaglossary
hope John G. whom I believe is the one who coined the term Bonabaptism finds his way here
Bona(anything)-means its ALL good
Bonabaptism - Your first Bonamassa show, or any show if you sin alot and need to be born again
Johio - that dang blasted state that gets way too much Joe time, unless you live there and then its not enough
Joe-maha Bonabraska - where Garth and MattR live.
the Wing - if you are here, you are under it
Bonamalessons - what you learn at a show or a '03-'04 Blues in the Schools presentation
Bonaddicted - what you sick fans reading this are!!!
hey fix these and/or add your own or one you heard somewhere
Peace,Joe's most Bonafflicted fan

well Joe is certainly using Bona-seum often on his instagram etc.like I said its ok because its Joe but its driving me nuts. I prefer Bonamuseum or even Bonamasseum....mumble

Well, to be fair, during those twelve minutes he also shits all over Whitesnake and Zeppelin.

That was at the Barnes and Noble on South Coast over by the John Wayne Airport. I just thought it was a strange sight: in a retail store where they've dialed back shelf stock to the point where the majority of sections on the CD racks are more than half empty —really the only people having more than two CDs in stock are the big names of classic rock (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.)— and amongst that, here's this totally inexplicable white blooz guitar wanker with a whole section of a rack to himself.
And, to my memory, his section at the B+N in Huntington Beach is even bigger.

The rehearsal space I go to practice at has DVDs of all these guys basically running on a loop in the rest area, so you can enjoy some blues noodlin' while you have a cup of tea between sessions.
I conclude from this that the audience for all this kind of stuff is primarily comprised of guitar teachers.

the whole thing about how if you go in one direction across the strings you need an odd number of notes and if you are going up and then back across the strings on a "lick" you need an even number of notes was very #galaxybrain

Watched this doc Inside Metal: The LA Metal Scene Explodes 2, and there were guys liked Marty Friedman and Bruce Bouillet from Racer X talking about the stir caused on the Strip shredding community when Ron Keel bright Yngwie Malmsteen over to the US to be in Steeler. One anecdote recalled Dokken's George Lynch seeing one of the first Steeler gigs with Yngwie and looking visibly shaken. Everyone was running in fear of the fury!

Harvey Mandel is one of these dudes, a pioneer of two-fingered tapping, does a lot of cool things with sustain. his 70s albums are all totally righteous, though, funky bluesy exotic electric guitar instrumentals..
