I give the guy props. He's got good chops. Is it for everyone? No. But I give the guy credit. Great tone too.
Sometimes i hate to admit but Bonamassa is one of the greatest ive seen in my lifetime.

Dude he's not terrible by any means, but VBF literally does this same thing at bingo halls and wineries every weekend. I've done it before too, in cover bands. He's far more famous for his gear and tone than his playing, because it's just not beyond what a million amateurs do in cover bands all over the world - i feel like i'm taking crazy pills
It's not even that its BAD, per se, it's just he's not even remotely on the level of some of the other famous players people look up to

I get where you're coming from. I can name many better, for sure. I like the guy, but in small doses. I like Black Country Communion better. Especially the first album.

He’s covered up in gilfs and damp depends thrown on stage instead of panties. Gotta give him props-he’s getting more action than me….KiNG

It takes a hell of a lot of work to make a living as a guitar player—I give big props to anyone who does.

I’ve seen him twice. He was great both times. Keep the flames. Dude can play circles around 99% of us. And has a great voice to go with it.

See, I can’t jive with his voice at all. He has developed good melodic control but it sounds like a guitar player who couldn’t find a singer and said fuck it, I’ll do it, then really liked not paying a singer and not dealing with a singer…..but should have.
Ted Nugent can technically sing but we all know who we really want to hear sing a Nugent song.

You can't really expect a forum full of people who love bands like Untreated Sepsis and GoreGorgon to take this sitting down can you?
The guy's got playing chops, singing chops, and bandleading chops. He plays well over 100 gigs a year. He's been doing it for a long time. He's got some awesome gear and while most of it is not really to my taste he gets good results with it. He'll sell you a Flying V shaped cookie jar.
I can respect that.

Is it ok to hate Clapton and like Joe B? Edit: add SRV to the list that I don’t like l.

It's alright to like or hate both of them, i'm just totally blown away by people vastly overestimating the technical ability of other guitar players sometimes

Got me thinking about Jeff Healey. Real shame he passed so young.
White, blonde, mulleted Canuck, blind, playing overhand in his lap, with a rhythm section that looked they ran a pizza shop and would fight about the sauce…you know, you’re stereotypical blues trio, just laying down straight fire.
