Joe is the Real Deal and in my opinion one of the greatest guitarists of all time! So blessed to be Living in The Time of Joe! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽🎸❤️
Thanks for your fantastic comments and thanks for checking out my podcast..
Hey Boys! I'm 72 yrs. old and I never listen to podcasts. At least I didn't until this one. Thanks, guys!
Fantastic Ross.. : )
Literally, two of my favorite players. Good lord these two are talented. 💜💜
Thanks Joe
Indeed they are, and above that they are music ambassadors.
I CONCUR !!!!
Kenny is so right. Passion is the fuel that pushes you through the hard times. I'm a drummer that started playing in bands at 20 years old. I'm 59 now and still do gigs, record, etc.. Am I a famous musician? No. Do I make a living playing drums? No (I did at one time) but I play 4-6 gigs a month with different bands at various venues in different cities in my state. Did I "make it"? Depends on what your definition of making it is. Over the years I've traveled all over the Western States, Europe and have had some of the most amazing experiences playing with famous musicians, actors and have met lifelong friends along the way. The passion to play is still there and I love it.
Fantastic.. That's the cool thing about drums and music. It feels great to be involved and any level as a player or a listener.
'Making it' is maintaining a lifestyle of your choosing whilst minimising harm to others, both 2 & 4 legged. People remember how you make them feel, not what you do for them. Gigging for 40 years, I'd say you have made plenty of people happy, most importantly, you. Regards, 54yo Australian musician.
You made it.
@@KennyAronoffOfficialKenny, i love you man...and i couldnt agree with you more! Just to be involved is the deal...whether you are on stage, in the studio, or in the audience. Im not a drummer but i love drums. I can play some percussion but thats sbout it. But Ive been playing 🎷for over 40 years and it stll gives me the passion to keep going no matter where I perform!
@@JK-js2td Thanks JK
Joe is the ultimate beast for every note he picks, but a most lovable guitarist of all time, I’m grateful to live in this moment to see this fruition...❤
Thanks Sonny
I love Joe B....consumate professional and incredible guitarist. F the haters...
yes yes yes
From the standpoint from an aging struggling musician, I can still dream about a day when I am playing my tired old pentatonic licks on my old Am Standard Strat with Joe, Kenny and Leland Sklar. Hell I know it will never happen, but man what a dream, kinda like hitting a game seven Grand Slam home run, in the bottom on the 9th, to win the game by 1 run and win the World Series.
I love your baseball analogy. : ) Thanks for your comments. More cool episodes coming
Kenny you are amazing ❤ and having Joe was brilliant ❤
Thank you so much.
I think we've entered Joe's best era. It's so great he's producing albums for other artists, he's recorded so much.
Oh...and he has like every guitar or amp anyone could ever want. He also knows how they work. That's a dream producer for any guitar player, especially since Joe loves so many genres and players.
Yessss I agree
@@mudwiser1391 Joe is the real deal and he loves what he does..
Kenny is a master drummer and a master interviewer.
Thanks Robert
Lol. That part when your one with the earth. I've been there! Great conversation.
Thanks : )
Amazing interview from one legend to another. It doesn’t get better than this.
Yes Albert king, saw him in nyc when I was 17, blew me away.
I love Joe!! Such an inspiration to me as a guitar player. Seeing him perform tomorrow night at Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood Florida!! Cant wait!
This is so interesting. The way I really learned guitar was in the early 80's when I was so broke I didn't have a tv. No social media or cell phones. When I got home from work all I did was play guitar.That was when I became pretty decent. Work, guitar, gigs... that was everything 24/7 365.
Fantastic... Thanks for checking out my podcast.. Happy Holidays.
I’ve seen Joe 5 times I think. I’m lucky he seems to come to town every November so far, for a few years now.
That's fantastic!!
Saw Joe in Ottawa a few years ago. His playing reminded me of a cross between Gary Moore and Eric Johnson. Powerful player
Powerful player and a wonderful man.
Great interview and I loved hearing that Joe is getting ready to cut the 5th album with Black Country Communion!!!
Me too.. Five albums already.. wow. The flys by
So glad you are doing this Kenny! Thank you.
Thanks for watching my pod cast.
It's rare that you come away from a "star interview" having learned something. Not this time. Great conversation, guys.
I'm 71! I've been a rocker all my life.
Teresa... Thanks for checking out my podcast. : )
I got into Joe because of the PBS show. I’ve seen him 9 times and I have tickets for show 10!
Saw Joe live August 2, 2022, at the Kickoff tour of Time Clocks at the Ryman. BLEW ME AWAY! I smiled and cried sheer joy the entire 2 hours and 15 minutes. Even guitar switching was MAGICAL! Seeing Joe and all of the band members in person is such a phenomenal treat. I will never forget how that felt! Thanks.
wow.. that is very cool to hear
The secret to any artists success is Supportive Family. These guys Both had supportive parents and siblings. I wanted to be a drummer in a famous rock band, but my family were totally discouraging. You can't make a living playing drums. So I never did. I still play them, along with guitar, keyboard, bass. I was in band at school and played tenor sax. so learned to read, but never really went anywhere. This is Why Family Support Is Soo Important. Your child might be the next Great Artist.
David.. You are 100% spot on.. Yes the support you get from your parents and family does make a difference,
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Thanks for the reply. very nice of you to take the time. Big fan.
Keep it up, subscribers will come and watch as this catalog grows and will leave legacy for future generations.
I love the great stories..
The man the legendary blues master , excellent interview !
Thanks...
Great interview….Joe is an enigma! Highly intelligent, technically a master, and has soulful hands unmeasured!
Saw Joe back in the noughties in a place called "the point" in Cardiff, UK, the venue no longer exists, he was playing a red and gold metallic front telecaster and he and the band played their hearts out, thanks for the memory Joe, and a great interview from a total legend in Kenny.
Thanks so much for your comments
I’m 75, not a musician, but I love the blues, SRV, Clapton, blues/rock, Hendrix, Cream, oh man, there are so many. That said, in today’s world, Joe is my favorite. Great player, great singer, great backup singers, and great, great, band.
Thanks for checking out my podcast,
Redemption I love every single track Joe every single track. Thanks brother.
Thanks for checking out Joe's episode on my podcast.. : )
Nice interview Kenny and Joe. You covered some great areas of the biz. Got to love Joe for being a down to earth nice guy and a realist about who he is and where he wants to go.
Thanks Scott. I agree.
I love it! My son plays guitar, drums, piano, he also teaches. I love it when he's playing in the house!
Fantastic.. Tell your son I say hi..
First time I heard of joe was on the pbs Albert hall and have been a big fan of his music ever since
Very cool to hear that
Great interview Kenny thanks, love your work with John Fogerty, Bonamassa is a smart guy
Thanks and yesssss he is.
Man, Kenny, you're a fantastic interviewer.
My favorite Bonamassa interview in recent years! Thank you both!
Thanks David. : )
Yes!!!!!! What a surprise!!! Glad to see Joe Bo on here!!
glad you like this.
Many people get good at playing their instruments, but don't really know much about how they work, the physics, the history. But not Joe. The man is a guitar-nerd in every way and proud of it. I love that.
It was PBS that introduced me to JB. Thank you Public TV 💜
amazing story.
Great interview, brother. A bass player friend of mine back home in Mississippi called a couple of weeks ago and said, "I got us tickets to see Joe Bonamassa @ Beau Rivage Theatre in Biloxi, Ms., March 8th. Can you make it?"
YES! I'm excited to finally see him and the band, and it's front row seats! Been a fan for a lot of years and play guitar, so I'm primed & pumped! Thanks bro. Kenny, Lord bless ya, and good job asking the right questions and letting Joe go! ✌️🙏
Thanks for you message and thanks for watching my Podcast.. : )
Been watching Joe since he was a blonde headed kid and I have nothing but respect for the way he created his own career outside the record labels.
Yes he did create his own career.. Hard work, self discipline and perseverance supported by passion for what he loves to do. Play guitar.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial I look at you the same way Kenny! You created a great career for yourself. Way beyond Mellencamp...Amazing!
Thank, Such a powerful and well-done interview. I was floored! Love Joe. Such a smart individual and a story that should actually be a movie and that needs to be seen someday in the distant future.
Fantastic.. Thanks.
Joes story is great. Hes a few years younger than me and also from Ny and I was starting on guitar round the time he was opening for BB King. Knew who he was cause he was a young virtuoso at that time. I played guitar a few years tuen wind up switching to bass and have played bass for the next 30 years. Flash to 2018 and bought my wife a new car n had sirius Xm And we started listening to BB KING Blues station and got our real exposure to Joe B music and my wife and I fell in love with him and really sent us down the rabbit hole to listening to all different Blues artists. He inspired me to pickup the guitar again and we love him. We go see him live every chance we can. Loves these interviews with him. Such a great guy. His life story would make a great movie!
Fantastic interview!
Thank you!
This is one of the best Joe B interviews I have ever heard. Thanks for doing this guys.
Pretty good interview. I saw the Allman Brothers Band play at Carnegie Hall in .... 1971 (ADL). Electric music sounded very well to me.....
What a great exchange, this is a very good series. Kenny your a good host.
Funny to hear Joe "pick up" his NY dialect again.
Thanks.. New Yorkers never lose their cool accent.. : )
Seems like such a nice normal guy. Humble and funny. Great job Kenny! Thank you Joe!
Thanks so much James.
Saw Joe the first time in 2002. Thought he just needed a little luck be seen by the right guy and he’d break out. Met him in 2003 and saw he knew what he wanted and what it took to get there. Hardest working guy I know.
Yesss Joe worked his butt off. He has persevered and is still working hard.
Kenny........Joe is the most universal musician out there....plus he's an upstate NY boy like Joey Belladonna and I lol......gotta love him. Joe is one of the most real, down to earth guys out there and he plays from the heart....through feeling. To me, blues is a natural "feel" kinda music and I get that from Joe's playing all the time. I also love his transition from rock (like Zepplin) to his melodic stuff like "Mountain Time"......amazing & multi faceted
Joe is world class on many levels. Thanks for watching my pod cast.
Great Great Great interview! I enjoyed every minute. Thanks!
Thanks Thanks Thanks.
Kenny heard you speak in Glenn Gass’s class at IU many years ago, thanks for doing that. Love you and JB! More BCC coming!
wow.. That was a long time ago speaking at Glenn Gas's class. Great memories.
Outstanding chat, Kenny! I am a fan BOY, and this conversation further solidified my love for what this guy brings to contemporary music.
Thanks for watching my podcast.. Lots more coming. : ) Joe is the real deal.
So glad I found this channel. Great great stuff!! Thanks!!!
Fantastic Jerry.. Many more episodes coming. : )
A very enjoyable conversation. I especially appreciate the candor about the music business--and how things have changed. Two smart and passionate masters of their craft: Thank you!!!
Thanks Gavin.. : )
Excellent interview, love the sweatshirt!
That was a great session. So many cool stories and two of my personal music hero's, just awesome. 🤙
Another great interview. 😎👍 Thank you. ❤️

Thanks Mike.
Awesome ❤ this is a powerful message. Thank you !
fantastic
I am 72 years young. Been playing professionally since i was 12. The insights and recollections of all your guests are priceless. To me JB is the new generation of blues player. As you pointed out, there's an edge to his writing and performance that sets his work ahead of others.
Keep these players coming on your show. Thanks
Thanks Walter .. lot's more coming
Terrific conversation. Thanks Kenny and Joe.
Thanks Stephen
Joe is my absolute favorite artist. This was such a cool interview! Thank you both!

Thanks Alex.. a new one comes out tomorrow..
Thanks for sharing Joe's story! 2 masters talking- what a gift.
Thanks chris
Great interview Kenny. Much appreciated !
Thanks Brian.. : )
The RAH concert Joe talks about, i ran across, totally by accident, flipping thru channels on TV and saw Joe on PBS. I heard "Dango/Mountain Time" and I was blown away. That was an amazing concert.
Yeah.. very cool right? Great story about that show.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Kenny, I' seen you play, not in person, at more than a couple of Kenney Center Honors Shows. I know this question is like asking a photographer how much a camera costs but how long does it take to prepare for shows of that magnitude? The show honoring Paul McCartney comes to mind. The medley with Tyler was stellar!
@@craighermle7727 Craig, The way I prepare for a show like the Kennedy Center Honors is.. I am very very focused. We get the songs one week before the show. I write every note the drummer played on the original recording of each song. I mark the tempo of each recording. I then learn the latest version the artist has performed that song on RUclips and I make a very detailed chart of that version and mark the tempo . The show is on Sunday and we start rehearsing on Friday.. 7 songs for 7 famous artists. If I play for 2 people being Honored, I have to learn 14 songs. My first year at the Kennedy Center Honors... I played drums honoring The Who and George Jones. 2 completely different artists with different styles. When the MD ( musical director) shows up at the first rehearsal, he has his charts which are different than the ones I have made because he has spent the entire week talking to all the artists making changes to the structure of each song and sometimes a complete different version. So I cram and rewrite every day and night right up to the live performance. It's intense and you have to be extremely focused.
An awesome conversation! Thank you.
Thanks Andrew
I still have the vinyls from the seventies and eighties, with great cover art. And a collection of cd's that still expands, unfortunately with small covers. I just do love to have a physical copy of the music I adore (vinyl, cd or dvd) to play whenever I want and not be dependent on youtube or spotify or whatever.
Cool.
Absolutely terrific interview. Appreciate the musician to musician take.
Thanks so much.
Thanks Kenny, what a great series! There’s always something to learn from great pros like you and your guests. Saw you in Madrid last week, amazing playing by the way!
Thanks Andre.. I loved Madrid
Awesome awesome interview. Funny for me as I'm a fan of Joe's and not just his incredible playing but his "person". That's what brought me here. I had never heard Kenny talk or seen his personality so this was a two pronged approach for me. Kenny one of my favorite drummers as well . Such good feel. The meter is Kenny's "feel" and the feel is real. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for your comments.. There will be a lot more cool episodes coming.. : )
Great interview Kenny! I met you quickly in 98 when we played a festival in Sweden I think it was….you were with the Pumpkins at that time. Great show. Keep it up.
Great Interview! Truly excellent.
thanks so much. : )
Amazing interview. You are both incredible inspiring musicians. Thank you so much x
Thanks so much..
Great interview. More like a conversation. I have seen Joe 4-times. Time to see him again. Brilliant but humble. Best combination ever.
Thanks so much for your comments.. : )
Really enjoyed this interview so much . Thank you
Thanks for checking out my podcast. : )

Thanks Mark 👍
Love the guests you're having on here Kenny! Joe surprised us with a guest appearance with Brad Paisley in Nashville for the legendary Let Freedom Sing, July 4th Celebration! I'll never forget it!
wow.. cool. Thanks.
Great job Kenny, rock on!
Thanks Rob
What an interview! Great questions, watched from beginning to end. Seemed like a 10 minute Q&A, but was actually an hour. That's great entertainment, Thank you!
Thanks
Great interview with two musical icons. Kenny, I just finished your book and LOVED it. Great to read how you dug your career out of the ground with sheer hard work and dogged persistence. I love your refusal to take no and turn it into a great learning experience.
Joe is such a down to earth guy, like you, and he also got where he is with hard work, day in day out.
You both rock! Thanks for sharing this conversation.
Thanks for checking out my podcast.. : )
This is actually a great channel. I love the intros. Most channels dont even do that.
Thanks for checking out my podcast.
What a great interview! Thank you both for the wonderful Saturday afternoon. Honestly, I LOVE the history, personality, and the stories that you shared today. So happy to have seen the lead in - "JOE BONAMASSA " and I'm on it! I listen to Joe all day long, as often as I cam. Thank you so much for having your music out there. Like honey, I'm there. Love the quality of your merch, too!Your RUclips videos are so endearing, it's like I know you and the crew. Ya bring a lot of joy to my life! I'm so proud you took those chances and have put in such phenomenal effort with an obvious ENORMOUS GIFT - just "THANK YOU VERY MUCH JOE BONAMASSA!" Great interview Kenny Aronoff!

Thsnks so much!
That was a very interesting interview, and you, Kenny are a great interviewer (as well as being a great drummer).
Many thanks.
Thank you so much. : )
FANTASTIC
Thank You
This is the best intview with jo bo on yt, well done
wow.. thanks..
I've been digging your drumming way before I knew your name. Now I see you everywhere with every Iconic band. Then here you are hosting this interview & your great at that to. Your passion message resonates with me. Too many choose to give up their passion they say outta practicality, but it's never practical to abandon your passion. That's our life force & it's that life force that tends to draw communities that fit you. I started drumming at 11 & gave it up at 19 for practical reasons. In my 49th year an old DJ from Texas I met at a coffee clutch invited me to an international jam at his place. It hooked me & the community grew quick. I wound up drumming again after 30 years & learning to sing at the same time. I hope you maintain this Pod Cast. Hearing these back stories keeps folks plugged in even when they get side tracked. Thanks again, great job here & Enjoy !
Fantastic. Thanks for all your comments.
great interview
Thanks Eric
Kenny i see huge success in the future with your podcast. Congratulations keep up the good work !
Thank you so much..
Paul Rogers and Joe, next album 😮✌️🎸
hell yes..
Great podcast and great interview. My favorite interview of Joe, so far. Im a huge fan of JB. Love his music, love his work, let alone his guitar playing. Great to know a little bit more of the man and not only about gear and guitar playing. Keep rocking Joe. Great series Kenny. 👍🏻
Paulo.. thanks for your comments. : )
