pls someone else start the OFFICIAL ILX JOE BONAMASSA BLANKET POLL i’m still recovering from putting together my last posts itt

rory is one of the only white blooz dudes that i can listen to

Well that's Xmas sorted out, can't wait to snuggle up with my special lady beneath a 2014 Collectible Bonamassa Guitarology Blanket.

every picture i've seen of this dude has him playing a les paul which feels wrong because he's a blue quilted maple PRS with bird inlays and gold hardware in human form

yeah tbh he has pretty good taste in guitars usually just really nice, expensive vintage classic models i don't think i've seen him play anything dorky

I’ve always loved the look of those sunburst Les Paul’s since I was a kid

Whenever I see this dude's name, I imagine his fanbase featuring v v v heavy overlap with this meme:

eh I dunno he's pretty guitar geek

Yeah, maybe that's not exactly fair, not having heard him at all. I guess I got more Blues Hammer vibe than Satriani vibes off the guy.

yah more just boring dad vibes. silver haired guy with the aviators seems about right.

Would love to see this guy suddenly start playing nothing but those weird guitars Lou Reed always seemed to be playing in the 80s

That, or a Steinberger

I want to see this guy in full page adverts for Ovation Breadwinners, talking in depth about their special tone etc

STOP REPLYING AND MAKING THIS THE TOP THREAD ON ILM!!!

fuck, i'm part of the problem.

Just got this huge banner ad opening up Billboard.com.

Dresses like a day trader, sings about "living in a dustbowl"

Hmmm, what title should we give to this movie about a man who plays guitar?

Guitarzan is gonna be pissed off

“legendary”

(Even if he wasn’t a running joke - legendary?)

I'm Not A Guitar Man; I'm A Guitar, Man.

Joe Bonamassa is a professional blues guitar collector, who is recognised as one of the world’s foremost authorities on blues guitar collecting

"guitar man" is the funniest title

can we do a thread where we all watch it at the same time and make rude comments

seconded

we should schedule a time in this thread tbh

promoted article i got on FB

Joe Bonamassa explains huge mistake you must not make when buying guitars, remembers purchasing $4,250 Fender Strat when he was 13 years old 🎸 🎸 🎸

Whomst among us has not done the same?

Joe Bonamassa feuding with the alt-weekly in his hometown about a negative review = one of the all-time classic facebook threads

You GET 'EM JOE!! Obviously (REDACTED) hasn't gotten laid in a VERY long time!! Okay...sorry...that wasn't very tasteful, but I am HIGHLY offended by her reviews. You are a prodigy and have been blessed by the music gods!! Just keep doing what you're doing, rack up those platinum records and sell out your concerts. Some of us will continue to travel across the country just to see and hear you perform!! Love ya Joe!!!

THEY obviously have never seen your work , your passion oozzes from the strings. And so , someone just wanted to read the words they wrote and see their name attached to it.... THE pen is no longer mightier then the sword.... when you have concerts and YOUtube to not back up their claim.... so naaNAAnaaBOOboo... yes they suck & JOE you are amazing !!!!

your passion oozzes from the strings

Eww, gross

Joe Bonamassa definitely wrote both of those comments.

Hi David. I don’t get on Twitter much but just wanted to let you know I’m really digging your album Here If You Listen. A masterpiece!

Marty: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Joe: Well, if you're on ten on the amp, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar - where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don't know.
Joe: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Add another humbucker.
Joe: Exactly.

haha yeah I really wonder what is the use of the middle when they are so jammed together in ther

I guess someone made that ref upthread

Do you think this guy actually enjoys playing the music he plays? I'm just trying to imagine being that good at guitar and only wanting to do those cliched "WEEE WEEE WEEE WEEEEEEEEE DEE-DUH-WHEEDLY-DUDDY-DUH" solos over and over again.

nobody enjoys the music. but they sure do enjoy the chicken wings.

“Just off the phone with the very nice representative from FedEX," Bonamassa wrote in a follow-up Instagram post. "So basically what they are saying is that my guitar is MIA within their system without recourse nor hope of solution.

...

“I will try not to play detective here, but I would surmise that it was stolen probably by someone who had access to the truck or the distribution facility," he continued. "To be honest, a 23 pound guitar box does not just disappear that easily with or without a tracking number."

enough to give one the blues

That Bloodline band (called Bloodline because the other 4 members were sons of famous musicians) that was mentioned upthread was formed by his manager to serve as his backing band but then after their first tour they decided they wanted to play a different style - and also go on without him
