This is a great video. It shows the difference between being a musician and being a guitar player. Joe leads a good example on how to be a great musician, not just guitar player...
whats sad is that is what sambora was always known for. If he could get on stage without a beer and without orianthi he might be ok. when i think of sambora i dont think of these turdy jams i think of lovely bits of guitar playing on these days album. joe is class. sambora and ori arent a good mix. she is never subtle with her playing and doesnt change her tone. her voice is equally samey. richie still has a bit of soul left in his however.
I grew up listening to the old Bon Jovi records. Sambora was just great. I think he was okay in this.. playing was a little off at points but it was acceptable for a jam. Bonamassa always seems to be on form no matter where he stands.
maybe I'm wrong but I think Richie might be a tad out of touch with the whole blues-jamming-in-a-bar scene. He's probably so used to only playing these big shows as the star or as the main guitarist of Bon Jovi over the decades, that he's just always in that mindset. Orianthi too but she usually plays a different genre than blues so I don't blame her for being a bit out of her element. Joe on the other hand knows how to take it easy and just groove with the music, and he waits his turn to solo or trade a lick. When he's not playing lead, he's being real subtle so as not to overshadow the others. Richie, on the other hand, acts like he's playing lead even when someone else is soloing.
Joe is killer as always! His talent really shines and he is one of the most soulful players in the business! However, I'm not into Ritchie or Orianthi's style of playing. Thank you for sharing!
OMG!! WALKING ALL OVER JOES SOLOS!!!! GIVE THE CAT SOME SPACE TO STRETCH OUT!!! Every time he got going to some low cool parts RS walked all over his Solos.
Sambora's tone deaf , out of tune , off key , over-rated ! Orianthi is just to busy , tries to do to much and constantly ruins great songs . Bonamassa ! Legend !
@@jonrocker1983 you said 1998? somebody realized about that, since he marriedn with heather she turns to him in the worst....when he don let bon jovi at the end of the 90'S Instead of 2013
This would sound better if they had "accidentally" kicked the power to Richie's amp out of the wall ;-) If he were listening more than playing it would have helped a lot...
Orianthi is so damn beautiful........ and if you just listen to her speak.......her voice will melt your heart. And she is massively talented even though she is relegated to 3rd spot. She deserves MORE recognition!
She plays so effortlesly! Never had JB as my favourite guitarist and Richie tries toohard to play blues. Jb's style of playing is slick and polished but Orianthi is different. She's incredibly talented and plays blues like an old black blues player.
This is really good, Joe really cooks with his singing makes the band. Richie is grrreat no old repeats, bass is funny solid. Orianthi is just greater than everyone makes the band when she wants to. Everybody thinks they are one too but no. To coina fraze everybody is a student. I thank you all for this video. Comments are nice too. Great music I'm sad.
Sambora….. is horrible. He can't play blues at all…and often off key. His playing something you often hear at every Guitar Center when school lets out and on weekends. Would someone please unplug his guitar already?
He once played with B. B King. He played a cranking Marshall and was overplaying riffs like crazy. BB stopped the song in the middle because he couldn't stand it. It was terrible. It was funny though, because BB called him "Ricky Sombrero" LMAO
Orianthi she is lovely and humble , she puts some new dialogue and grace in the jam thanks god . i see the other guys appreciating her guitaring and personality.
what? did you watch his face at all??? he is relaxed. Smiling and laughing. Small venue. it's an easy gig for him. He is loving this. I think you should get your glasses checked.
Sambora's playing is painful to listen to, and out of context with the music compared to Joe. it really is a shame that Orianthi is dating him. Worst thing she's done for her career. It completely killed the momentum that she was building, and destroying her growth as a player and musician. Joe's playing and singing was the only thing that held this train wreck together! He's on a whole different level than those two.
I agree. I remember she seemed to be on the fast track to major success then she got involved with Sambora and has been largely unheard of since. Not a coincidence in my mind unfortunately.
+Rob Kennedy Yeah, and it looks like Sambora is a total control freak. Every time I see him playing with people, he's trying to dictate everything! Which tells me he totally controls her. His playing and talent has gone to shit, which seems to be rubbing off on Ori. What a shame!
She's the textbook example on how to waste your potential and I say this a former,avid fanboy.She could have been easily as famous as Joe Bonamassa,John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr. or any of these guys.Instead of establishing herself as a solo artist and touring the world,playing her own songs,she's wasting her time,beeing second fiddle to a drunk,who's butchering his former band's hits.I guess,the whole ''Hollywood/rockstar/jet set-lifestyle'' has caught up with her.It's truely depressing to watch her turning from a major talent to another rockstar toygirl,who's allowed to play some guitar licks.
Playing her own songs? She has written a song or even a lick that's memorable. She's fun to watch but she doesn't have a CD worth listening to on a long drive.
Led ZeppelinFan She has plenty of good songs,just listen to ''Violet Journey'' or ''Heaven in this Hell'',sadly she never bothers to play any of this material live.Only thing she does,is playing second fiddle to a drunk guy,who's butchering his old band's hits from 25 years ago.If she had any sense,she would have call up her friend Tal Wilkenfield(bassplayer for Jeff Beck,Herbie Hancock) get also Hannah Ford or Meytal Cohen on drums and start a 3 piece all girl fusion/rock/pop/blues band,similar to what Kotzen/Sheehan/Portnoy did with The Winery Dogs.
Thanks Miss Moke, this is so cool of you to share these amazing, UN-televised events with us. I'm sorry there are so many music "Experts" that make negative comments about Icons that they couldn't even look in the eye and speak to without wetting themselves but that seems to be normal in any comment section doesn't it? All I know is They Rock and You Rock for bringing them to us so Thanks again!
Sambora isn't an icon he was a player in a relatively average band and fact is I'm a better guitarist than Richie but the point so many were trying to make is he added nothing to the foundation he just swung around on the rafters
the difference between a good guitarist and a GREAT guitarist is the great guitar player doesn't try to show every trick they have to impress the crowd, they play what is relevant to the music. richie got dull very quick and so did the girl. joe is the man, He's got excellent technique but does he need to keep showing it over and over? no he doesn't, he prefers to keep it musical.
Yeah, i agree but you have to consider first that Richie is on decline because of his abuse of alcohol and drugs...and also i believe he has some confidence problem regarding his future as a musician. After Bon Jovi he has been basically off and in the past (while he was young) he couldn't pull a successful solo career either. Richie in his prime is one of the top guitarists of rock-hard rock of all time. Bonamassa is one of the top guitarists of blues of today. Each one of them on their prime are untouchable.
The issue here is that it is really easy to be embarrassed when playing next to Bonamassa. Yes, he was out of key, and the band was not rehearsed. He also basically just pulled out all of his Bon Jovi bag of tricks in every solo. He's not used to simply jamming through an extended simple blues song. That's not what made him famous. He made his name with big riffs and then the occasional short solo with a flurry of notes that fit the song. It doesn't translate to a bar band setting in this case.
Jeez ori you are meantown blues absolutely dna all over it joe killin it bori got some 2that mouse keep on playin w his sound joe bloin the whistle amazin ori blazin .
im not kicking a man when he is down but whats the deal with ritchie one moment he is bon jovi's lead guitar man who plays great stuff then i start seeing him talking like zak wylde on a bad day mumbling "mother fukker" in every sentence looking and sounding drunk there is footage of him in norms store with that blonde girl saying "this mutha fukkin guitar is a piece of ass" and rubbish like that.....i predict that he will get worse and to protect her career the blonde will slowly stop being seen with him till eventually there is them "unless he sorts out his demons" BTW who made him stage boss wagging his finger at folks....its really sad to see a guy losing respect at the rate he is......thank god for joe he pulled it out of the shit as best he could but he is not gonna want to re-live this EVER.
agree with all said here. i dont think sambora has lost the ability to be a good player but feel hes coming across lazy partly because hes beved up. As for Orianthi.. i just dont think shes helping with her grneric guitar wanking. one has to hope samboras new record has something to offer. joe is class and would be class anywhere.
What the hell is with Orianthi and her clinging to aging rockers? Sambora is the only one on stage that has been and ever will be credited with over 100,00,000 records sold. Joe is awesome and wrote plenty of great songs too. After 12 years in the US, Orianthi has settled with clinging to aging rockers and playing THEIR songs.
I would say that 95% of blues is "generic wanking" at this point. I can't think of any other form of music that is more derivative of itself than blues.
I was just reading some of these negative comments about Richie Sambora and Orianthi. I think that you are being hypercritical and that you are looking for fault, because you have this "agenda" in which you are compelled to rank the players. So one of them you "Lionize," that is Joe, and for the other two you are just searching for fault. Come on, this is a jam. These people are relaxed and loose and going out on a limb for the audience who love the dynamics, whether good or bad, of live music. These musicians are all playing their hearts out for a dynamite charity, and you don't have to sit in your armchair and search for fault. Just be big and recognize these people for the great players that they are, and also for their general musicianship in being able to put such a great jam together. Dynamite, I love 'em all, I was so happy to discover Richie in the first video, what a great guy and what an expressive player. I hadn't heard him as a solo artist before. And wow, he has not been idle, he is really versatile and he can really hold his own. Great-sounding singer too. How great.
@@aaronkahn5555 She's definitely more versatile. In and out of blues and rock. Joe's stuff sounds like a rinse and repeat blues. Great guitarist though.
well of course this is not in the least a guitar competition, but people can give their opinion and there's nothing wrong with it, that being said, JB is in another league. RS and Ori - big fan here - are good, but as far as guitar technique and improvisation is concerned, JB is from another planet.
I'm not going to knock down Ritchie. Regardless of how he's doing here, his music and his vocals defined a generation of music and you cannot take that away from him. As for Orianthi she plays much better than I do, but I would rather see a jam session consisting of Joe, Walter Trout and Samantha Fish. This is just awkward to listen to.
Mate, if you want to shove kilos of powders up your nose & drink gallons of booze, this is what happens. Plenty of players who still cut it years later.
It is a matter of playing any kind of music to be considered a great guitar player as Joe is. His skills and passion is untouchable.. His modesty is admirable....and his stage presence and attitude blows me away...
This Joe can really play well and effortlessly and people are knocking Richie but Richie is just letting loose and having fun.. trying to stir some creative juices.. looking worn out but he's 57.. nice to see the enthusiasm and genuine joy for music in him
An interesting moment in time. It's a jam session and that's how jam session work with a nod here and whisper in the ear there and a lot of what happened there. If you don't understand that what are you talking about. Each of these people is playing off the cuff in a take that type of jam. Limited by gear, space and lack of rehearsal it is what it is, spontaneous and free from "the record goes like this" thinking. One thing is for sure they can all play. Nice one. It's still better than woke up and found myself dead!
I love this but what's so damn hard about tuning a guitar up from an Eb to standard tuning? I thought the three of them sounded great. They clearly all have different styles and I appreciate all of this diversity.
iamfun6996 She is a force to be reckoned with...no doubt. Always respected her talent. But the only way orianthi becomes the future, is if Tina S. Drops dead. she reigns supreme . Period.
I like to see Joe is just playing music in this little pub - yes, he is a star, a legend, but he's still close to the people and to another (not-so-famous) musicians...
ouch. how frustrating for joe. they play over the top of him during his solos and mostly a bunch of garbage. Richie is a egomaniac. That's obvious. sad.
Whilst I have only seen Joe live, 3 times ( every time he's come to Perth, Australia) I have to say he smoked Ori and Ritchie. Chalk and cheese. I'm guessing Joe is a lot more hands on, where as Ritchie has spent his whole career with minions doing his stage work. I've been to many pubs and listened to blues, so for what it is, it would've been a dream gig. Tight drummer and bass player might I add. In 2 weeks I'm coming to America on a family holiday and I'll be ticking off a bucket list item of visiting Norm's store. Hopefully get to meet the Italian stallion in Mark Agnesi. I keep having dreams of Joe just happening to be there. I doubt it, but that's what dreams are all about. Love to meet Norm and Nick as well.
Gary Moore (RIP) ... where are you when the music world (including unrehearsed blues charity gigs) need your musical genius! (JB being the only exception in this particular situation as he puts 110% soul into whatever note he plays)
I have to agree that Mr. Sambora was not having a great improv day, although I do think his first solo on Pride and Joy was brief and tasty. You have to understand a classic hard rocker in a blues environment; they fall back on heavier riffs than are called for. Mr. Bonamassa is just plain excellent as he has been for some time now; a few years ago I (wrongly) dismissed him as a technician with no soul, but I have to admit he's proved me to be totally wrong, and kudos to him. Finally, I've got to disagree with the naysayers about Orianthi, who I think is both very good and underrated, and I suspect too many of you want to dismiss her because she isn't a man. Really listen to what she's playing on "Going Down" and tell me she's not both rockin' and bluesy. Thanks to Linda for bringing this to us.
Thom Drewke Agreed...she, like many classically trained guitarist have no shortage of trick licks transitioning from scale to scale and in between. If anything, she seems slightly bored.. but there is no denying, Joe is the fuckin man.
camo 69 I know nothing about guitar.... I guess the last 35 years of playing are of no utility whatsoever. Thanks for clearing it all up for me in such an authoritative, all knowing omnipotent manner. Douche bag.
I just now read your comment from several months ago. Thanks for covering the "douche bag" aspect of things. 8^) And at least in this video clip, Joe is def the man. Re Orianthi, whether RS is good for her, or not, is a personal issue for the two of them. Her skills are clearly first rate, something that Michael Jackson obviously felt was the case, since she was hired for the tour that, sadly, killed him. I don't think he hired her for any reason other than he thought she was very good at what she does. I enjoy recounting the guitar heros Michael had previously worked with: Larry Carlton, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Slash, and Carlos Santana come to mind. Orianthi was asked to follow in their footsteps.
Ok, I'm going to state the obvious here.. It may have been commented on farther down in the comments and I missed it,, but to be honest was "put off" by a lot of the comments. I get it...people have a right to their opinion and should feel free to "voice" it without ridicule but.........comments that are written out of context to what is going on are........................ So here's my real reason for commenting .....................I want missmoke007's life. Killer Smokie posts some pretty cool videos, from events that had to be a great time :-)
It's weird how you can't teach someone tone - either they have that inner ear and feel for it or they don't. Sambora & Orianthi both continue to play with that thin, sizzly over-saturated transistor-radio sound no matter what gig or style of music they do. They just don't understand that you need some clean mixed w/overdrive to give the tone a fatter, fuller sound (like JB). Oh well ...
13 minutes in and i'm borderline annoyed at sambora wandering around while guitar-tech has to tune the guitar every 2 minutes for him, also looks quite drunk... rockstars gonna rockstar i guess love how the bassplayer and drummer handle their jobs...
Joe is a class above. Giving space for singing, grooving, not aggressive... Richie Sambora has a great technique (big respect to Bon Jovi!!!) but Richie is often not on right notes (trying to play major through minor scales?) Joe obviously solves problems of bad tuning with very nice vibrato/banding. :)
Joe just does what all the great Blues men have said - it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. A guitar solo should still keep you swinging to the melody- if it doesn’t cut the fing strings. Joe even slows it down in the end hoping the other two guitar players will get it- but they don’t.
Orianthi Is Smokin HOT with Flaming Finger's strok'in that thing. Amazing that Joe doesn't have to change tha strings on his Baby after tha set. Awesome Moment.
Well I'm a huge fan of both guitarists, my two favourite guitarists to be precise, so reading these comments I can see who are fans of each side. I've watched the end of that and while Richies end solo is nowhere near as good as Joe's, I fail to see the look of disgust, in fact the look on Joes face never changes. I grew up idolising Sambora, but like all guitarists they lose their dexterity in the fingers, but sometimes there brain doesn't want to believe that. Joe however is in his prime years, but at some stage a young pretender will over take him. So let's not pick and snipe, let's just marvel at two fantastic guitarists who give a lot of fans, a lot of pleasure. Peace guys ✌✌✌✌
Joe never gave a look of disgust on stage! He stayed pro the whole time and never showed if he got ticked off while he was up there. He just played the best he could under the circumstances, although, I'm sure he wasn't having fun. This was a totally unrehearsed Jam and It was for a good cause, the audience had a good time and they all gave their time to help raise money for the homeless.
This was an excellent jam all around. Interesting to read ppl pluck what they see as the worst of a situation and focus on it... sad. Thanks for the vid!
" they lose their dexterity in the fingers"?? Hahaha. Check out Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, and the other "old guys". They sure haven't lost dexterity in their fingers. And Bonamassa's prime years are well ahead of him. Joe and Ritchie sound great here. Orianthi has WAY too much distortion. Her sound is too white for blues.
Do everyone a favor----Unplug Richies Guitar!! Joe is the man in this trio, The exchanges between Orianthi and Joe go together much better than Richies "interruptions". A Few times Orianthi was still having her lead and Richie just steps all over it with some rockish stuff and covering better playing than his. Listen to Joe, and you get those sweet, little well timed pauses that accent the following notes and make them stand out and be part of a flow with emotion. Not the barrage of non-stop notes that were a bit off, IMO, that Mr. Sambora was serving up!---although he did have a couple interesting little short bursts....but all in all, a Miss for me. Love Joe and still like Orianthi-----perhaps she didn't want to show up Richie, too bad on stage and just played "Good" instead of like when I've seen her live Better than here--like she's holding back (for Richie--not Joe). Plus she knows She's playing with Joe, not Joe's playing with Orianthi, as far as Billing Order goes and Joe's the Lead and Richie & Her are like Guests players. Where as Richie acts like he's the man, it's his show and pointing to people on when to take a lead, then walking on it before they're done. As I said when I opened....Somebody please, just unplug that damn guitar!!
They are three completely different players and yes, Joe is a master level prodigy versed more in the blues than Richie and Orianthi but they all definitely added flavor to the overall composition of sound.
Anyone else cringe when Sambora played most of his first lead in the wrong key? And what in the blue bowels of hell was Orianthi doing? Awful! Just awful!
David Rivers...absolutely right. They didn't even know how to SPELL pocket that night. Thankfully, Joe hung and pulled it somewhat outta the shit. I can only imagine what his thoughts were during the gig.
Who is the bass player in this? JOE B killed it!!!! Orianthi is very good, and Sambora, kept trying to show up Joe but failed. Thrill is gone was SICK.
One simple thing a Great Blues players knows.....just as important where you leave the Spaces and leave fans yearning for the next sweet note to carry over. Knowing when NOT TO PLAY ..keeps it from being a Barrage of Notes just flying out in a constant attack!!
Seeing Sambora makes me feel as if I'm at my local bar watching some band's Roadie on Open Mic Night. He was much better during his Bon Jovi days, for sure
If I was Richie I believe I would have opted to play rhythm and let the two better players do their thing. I believe JB was being a bit modest and RB was overdoing it and made himself look like a fool... but who am I? I guess even if you aren't a famous player you can still comment since you are a consumer of the music? It ashamed Orianthi is dating RB. It's always awkward to see them together and she is slowly disappearing because she has hitched her wagon to a sinking ship... one that was sinking since she was born... I guess he's scared to let her go somewhere by herself. Scared she might see the light I guess This was some awkwardness but still entertaining to watch.
They've been through alot.They re all masters of guitar.They've been there and done it all.So easy to critisize.No one has to prove themselves.All in fun.
Ritchie isn't drunk, he's just trying very hard to not look bad next to Joe. I kept wondering where the awful clams were coming from when the camera is off Ritchie. Took a minute. But maybe Ritchie is half deaf now?
It's all too easy to criticise people from the safety of one's 'bedroom' - why don't you post a video of you playing in a scratch band if you there no you can do better, and let us critique you?
They play guitar; Joe plays music.
I saw exactly the same comment on a Derek Trucks/Joe Bona jam vid...except It was Derek that plays music and Joe Plays the guitar :D
So. Which one would you kick outta bed, Mr Guitar?
Miller
I think , it's right statement . In my opinion , Joe plays music whith all heart and soul ! He is amasing !
Well they're playing his gig, look the other way, might be different

Led ZeppelinFan She has plenty of good songs,just listen to ''Violet Journey'' or ''Heaven in this Hell'',sadly she never bothers to play any of this material live.Only thing she does,is playing second fiddle to a drunk guy,who's butchering his old band's hits from 25 years ago.If she had any sense,she would have call up her friend Tal Wilkenfield(bassplayer for Jeff Beck,Herbie Hancock) get also Hannah Ford or Meytal Cohen on drums and start a 3 piece all girl fusion/rock/pop/blues band,similar to what Kotzen/Sheehan/Portnoy did with The Winery Dogs.
Thanks Miss Moke, this is so cool of you to share these amazing, UN-televised events with us. I'm sorry there are so many music "Experts" that make negative comments about Icons that they couldn't even look in the eye and speak to without wetting themselves but that seems to be normal in any comment section doesn't it? All I know is They Rock and You Rock for bringing them to us so Thanks again!
Sambora isn't an icon he was a player in a relatively average band and fact is I'm a better guitarist than Richie but the point so many were trying to make is he added nothing to the foundation he just swung around on the rafters
the difference between a good guitarist and a GREAT guitarist is the great guitar player doesn't try to show every trick they have to impress the crowd, they play what is relevant to the music. richie got dull very quick and so did the girl. joe is the man, He's got excellent technique but does he need to keep showing it over and over? no he doesn't, he prefers to keep it musical.
You said it...
ecactly right, joe smoked them BIG TIME!!with tone, touch and taste
Yeah, i agree but you have to consider first that Richie is on decline because of his abuse of alcohol and drugs...and also i believe he has some confidence problem regarding his future as a musician. After Bon Jovi he has been basically off and in the past (while he was young) he couldn't pull a successful solo career either. Richie in his prime is one of the top guitarists of rock-hard rock of all time. Bonamassa is one of the top guitarists of blues of today. Each one of them on their prime are untouchable.
It is true
The issue here is that it is really easy to be embarrassed when playing next to Bonamassa. Yes, he was out of key, and the band was not rehearsed. He also basically just pulled out all of his Bon Jovi bag of tricks in every solo. He's not used to simply jamming through an extended simple blues song. That's not what made him famous. He made his name with big riffs and then the occasional short solo with a flurry of notes that fit the song. It doesn't translate to a bar band setting in this case.
I would love to see and hear JB and Orianthi do a gig together.
She would have to hold back
Jeez ori you are meantown blues absolutely dna all over it joe killin it bori got some 2that mouse keep on playin w his sound joe bloin the whistle amazin ori blazin .
This was excruciating!
The babe can play tho. She burns smoke rings around old "Hog the Show" Ritchie Sambora.
Right up my alley.
easy to relate to!
merci pour ce concert
im not kicking a man when he is down but whats the deal with ritchie one moment he is bon jovi's lead guitar man who plays great stuff then i start seeing him talking like zak wylde on a bad day mumbling "mother fukker" in every sentence looking and sounding drunk there is footage of him in norms store with that blonde girl saying "this mutha fukkin guitar is a piece of ass" and rubbish like that.....i predict that he will get worse and to protect her career the blonde will slowly stop being seen with him till eventually there is them "unless he sorts out his demons" BTW who made him stage boss wagging his finger at folks....its really sad to see a guy losing respect at the rate he is......thank god for joe he pulled it out of the shit as best he could but he is not gonna want to re-live this EVER.
agree with all said here. i dont think sambora has lost the ability to be a good player but feel hes coming across lazy partly because hes beved up. As for Orianthi.. i just dont think shes helping with her grneric guitar wanking. one has to hope samboras new record has something to offer. joe is class and would be class anywhere.
What the hell is with Orianthi and her clinging to aging rockers? Sambora is the only one on stage that has been and ever will be credited with over 100,00,000 records sold. Joe is awesome and wrote plenty of great songs too. After 12 years in the US, Orianthi has settled with clinging to aging rockers and playing THEIR songs.
I would say that 95% of blues is "generic wanking" at this point. I can't think of any other form of music that is more derivative of itself than blues.
I would like to donate money for Sambora to get guitar lessons.
I was just reading some of these negative comments about Richie Sambora and Orianthi. I think that you are being hypercritical and that you are looking for fault, because you have this "agenda" in which you are compelled to rank the players. So one of them you "Lionize," that is Joe, and for the other two you are just searching for fault. Come on, this is a jam. These people are relaxed and loose and going out on a limb for the audience who love the dynamics, whether good or bad, of live music. These musicians are all playing their hearts out for a dynamite charity, and you don't have to sit in your armchair and search for fault. Just be big and recognize these people for the great players that they are, and also for their general musicianship in being able to put such a great jam together. Dynamite, I love 'em all, I was so happy to discover Richie in the first video, what a great guy and what an expressive player. I hadn't heard him as a solo artist before. And wow, he has not been idle, he is really versatile and he can really hold his own. Great-sounding singer too. How great.
And btw, Orianthi can shred it! Amazing how all the wanna be's are such critics.
Spot On !
weak men are threatened by strong women . Ori can play with the best of them, in many a genre not just blues
Would have loved to have been there! Jam sessions like this one by icons are what we need more of!!!
@@aaronkahn5555
She's definitely more versatile. In and out of blues and rock. Joe's stuff sounds like a rinse and repeat blues. Great guitarist though.
well of course this is not in the least a guitar competition, but people can give their opinion and there's nothing wrong with it, that being said, JB is in another league. RS and Ori - big fan here - are good, but as far as guitar technique and improvisation is concerned, JB is from another planet.
Joe is like "This is the last one of these." lol
Yep. Getting teeth pulled would be a serious contender to doing this ever again.
Lol😎
I'm not going to knock down Ritchie. Regardless of how he's doing here, his music and his vocals defined a generation of music and you cannot take that away from him. As for Orianthi she plays much better than I do, but I would rather see a jam session consisting of Joe, Walter Trout and Samantha Fish. This is just awkward to listen to.
Mate, if you want to shove kilos of powders up your nose & drink gallons of booze, this is what happens. Plenty of players who still cut it years later.
They had to tell Joe stop playing so O could hit a few licks. Don't be trying tho steal the show Joe
... Mr. Sambora should not have been part of this lineup ..., pardon me ...
Comparing the pro guitarists is a game kids like to play. If you're a grown-up man and music fan, (you'd better) don't do that. ;)
It is a matter of playing any kind of music to be considered a great guitar player as Joe is. His skills and passion is untouchable.. His modesty is admirable....and his stage presence and attitude blows me away...
Excellent video MissMoke007!
This Joe can really play well and effortlessly and people are knocking Richie but Richie is just letting loose and having fun.. trying to stir some creative juices.. looking worn out but he's 57.. nice to see the enthusiasm and genuine joy for music in him
Everybody stepping over everybody else's licks is not jamming its' ear wrenching noise.
That happens a lot with multiple guitarists including those that have jammed with others for years.
Three guitarists is one too many. Dump the chick
the bass player is also doing good , why no one is mention that , must say did not read it all :)
Orianthi, if you read this, dump the drunk Sambora you will lose in the end..
Great Minds think a Like Guitar Knows no race or creed Its just Real
look at her real close,,,, a dude has to be drunk to hit that
An interesting moment in time. It's a jam session and that's how jam session work with a nod here and whisper in the ear there and a lot of what happened there. If you don't understand that what are you talking about. Each of these people is playing off the cuff in a take that type of jam. Limited by gear, space and lack of rehearsal it is what it is, spontaneous and free from "the record goes like this" thinking. One thing is for sure they can all play. Nice one. It's still better than woke up and found myself dead!
I love this but what's so damn hard about tuning a guitar up from an Eb to standard tuning? I thought the three of them sounded great. They clearly all have different styles and I appreciate all of this diversity.
everythings aint right to richie...the guitar..the amp..the attitude..the head?
This is painful to watch. Joe was good, Richie was out of place as was Orianthi.
OH? Who is the Bass player and Drummer here. I probably should know but I can't remember.
Drummer Is Anthony Tiny Biuso! solid drummer! I dont know the bassist. he looks familiar..
Richie grew up listening to Nigel Tufnel
I want an Orianthi in my life :D
just thought I'd have a quiet drink at my local, the Sugar Mill!!! guess what I saw
Joe Bonamassa does a great job allowing each guitar player (2 additional guitarists in this video) some room to express themselves. Amazing musicians!
LOL!
And do not forget Orianthi She is young but Carlos says she is the future, and I agree!
iamfun6996
She is a force to be reckoned with...no doubt. Always respected her talent. But the only way orianthi becomes the future, is if Tina S. Drops dead. she reigns supreme . Period.
She does some great Santana covers. I'd put Samantha Fish in the running too.
Richie Sambora is that kid at Guitar Center that you wish would just stop playing. He should just sit down and watch how it's done.
I like to see Joe is just playing music in this little pub - yes, he is a star, a legend, but he's still close to the people and to another (not-so-famous) musicians...
sambora is kicking some ass again with his fantastic playing ! I love this guys he sucks !
ouch. how frustrating for joe. they play over the top of him during his solos and mostly a bunch of garbage. Richie is a egomaniac. That's obvious. sad.
Whilst I have only seen Joe live, 3 times ( every time he's come to Perth, Australia) I have to say he smoked Ori and Ritchie. Chalk and cheese. I'm guessing Joe is a lot more hands on, where as Ritchie has spent his whole career with minions doing his stage work. I've been to many pubs and listened to blues, so for what it is, it would've been a dream gig. Tight drummer and bass player might I add. In 2 weeks I'm coming to America on a family holiday and I'll be ticking off a bucket list item of visiting Norm's store. Hopefully get to meet the Italian stallion in Mark Agnesi. I keep having dreams of Joe just happening to be there. I doubt it, but that's what dreams are all about. Love to meet Norm and Nick as well.
Gary Moore (RIP) ... where are you when the music world (including unrehearsed blues charity gigs) need your musical genius! (JB being the only exception in this particular situation as he puts 110% soul into whatever note he plays)
We all still miss him. The mighty Gary Moore...
Orianthi seriously needs to learn when NOT to play
Richard Hoskison It was Sambora playing all over everyone, not Ori'.
I have to agree that Mr. Sambora was not having a great improv day, although I do think his first solo on Pride and Joy was brief and tasty. You have to understand a classic hard rocker in a blues environment; they fall back on heavier riffs than are called for. Mr. Bonamassa is just plain excellent as he has been for some time now; a few years ago I (wrongly) dismissed him as a technician with no soul, but I have to admit he's proved me to be totally wrong, and kudos to him. Finally, I've got to disagree with the naysayers about Orianthi, who I think is both very good and underrated, and I suspect too many of you want to dismiss her because she isn't a man. Really listen to what she's playing on "Going Down" and tell me she's not both rockin' and bluesy.
Thanks to Linda for bringing this to us.
Thom Drewke
Agreed...she, like many classically trained guitarist have no shortage of trick licks transitioning from scale to scale and in between. If anything, she seems slightly bored.. but there is no denying, Joe is the fuckin man.
You know nothing about blues & guitar if you believe your first & second sentence.
camo 69
I know nothing about guitar.... I guess the last 35 years of playing are of no utility whatsoever. Thanks for clearing it all up for me in such an authoritative, all knowing omnipotent manner.
Douche bag.
She has got to get away from Sambora. He was walking all over both of them. She is underrated.
I just now read your comment from several months ago. Thanks for covering the "douche bag" aspect of things. 8^) And at least in this video clip, Joe is def the man. Re Orianthi, whether RS is good for her, or not, is a personal issue for the two of them. Her skills are clearly first rate, something that Michael Jackson obviously felt was the case, since she was hired for the tour that, sadly, killed him. I don't think he hired her for any reason other than he thought she was very good at what she does. I enjoy recounting the guitar heros Michael had previously worked with: Larry Carlton, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Slash, and Carlos Santana come to mind. Orianthi was asked to follow in their footsteps.
Ok, I'm going to state the obvious here.. It may have been commented on farther down in the comments and I missed it,, but to be honest was "put off" by a lot of the comments. I get it...people have a right to their opinion and should feel free to "voice" it without ridicule but.........comments that are written out of context to what is going on are........................
So here's my real reason for commenting .....................I want missmoke007's life. Killer Smokie posts some pretty cool videos, from events that had to be a great time :-)
LOL Jeff!! You should see some of the jams I've been to since this one! Some truly great ones~and I have videos of them all ~ go check them out :)
Bonamassa is the real blues guy.
Thanks Linda for all the cool vids of Joe solo, and w/ RCFP you've posted over the last few years! You've captured some awesome footage!
looked like Richie was having all kinds of tech problems to me that took ages to sort out.
Yeah, drunk and not able to tune his own guitar. Tech problem , no. Sad, absolutely!
It's weird how you can't teach someone tone - either they have that inner ear and feel for it or they don't. Sambora & Orianthi both continue to play with that thin, sizzly over-saturated transistor-radio sound no matter what gig or style of music they do. They just don't understand that you need some clean mixed w/overdrive to give the tone a fatter, fuller sound (like JB). Oh well ...
13 minutes in and i'm borderline annoyed at sambora wandering around while guitar-tech has to tune the guitar every 2 minutes for him, also looks quite drunk... rockstars gonna rockstar i guess love how the bassplayer and drummer handle their jobs...
Mr. Bonamassa did something between 28.18 and 29.32 what you do not hear often from blues guitar players! Music Academi !!!
Bass player and drummer are thinking... how can I get a job with this guy when JB playing
Joe is a class above. Giving space for singing, grooving, not aggressive... Richie Sambora has a great technique (big respect to Bon Jovi!!!) but Richie is often not on right notes (trying to play major through minor scales?)
Joe obviously solves problems of bad tuning with very nice vibrato/banding. :)
i am a big Sambora fan but here its seems Joe is the PRO while the other 2 messed up everything
Joe just does what all the great Blues men have said - it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. A guitar solo should still keep you swinging to the melody- if it doesn’t cut the fing strings. Joe even slows it down in the end hoping the other two guitar players will get it- but they don’t.
Orianthi Is Smokin HOT with Flaming Finger's strok'in that thing.
Amazing that Joe doesn't have to change tha strings on his Baby after tha set.
Awesome Moment.
Joe is beyond superior continuously and holds things together in this mess. Ori is awesome good and looks good, Richie is just embarrassing.
a2981kat yea she looked good with no pants right
Couldn't agree less
Not a big JB fan, but Sambora and Orianthi pretty much get smoked here. Sambora seems like a cool dude, but the chick is WAY too cool for herself.
Fantastical
Fantastical
Orianthi is AWESOME . Can't say the same for R Sambora, he seems lost.
Well I'm a huge fan of both guitarists, my two favourite guitarists to be precise, so reading these comments I can see who are fans of each side. I've watched the end of that and while Richies end solo is nowhere near as good as Joe's, I fail to see the look of disgust, in fact the look on Joes face never changes. I grew up idolising Sambora, but like all guitarists they lose their dexterity in the fingers, but sometimes there brain doesn't want to believe that. Joe however is in his prime years, but at some stage a young pretender will over take him. So let's not pick and snipe, let's just marvel at two fantastic guitarists who give a lot of fans, a lot of pleasure. Peace guys ✌✌✌✌
Joe never gave a look of disgust on stage! He stayed pro the whole time and never showed if he got ticked off while he was up there. He just played the best he could under the circumstances, although, I'm sure he wasn't having fun. This was a totally unrehearsed Jam and It was for a good cause, the audience had a good time and they all gave their time to help raise money for the homeless.
+missmoke007 completely agree, and must say I'm not a fan of Ori's tone. It's more than a little piercing on the ears.
This was an excellent jam all around. Interesting to read ppl pluck what they see as the worst of a situation and focus on it... sad. Thanks for the vid!
I would love to see footage of Norms crew jammin! Thanks...
" they lose their dexterity in the fingers"?? Hahaha.
Check out Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, and the other "old guys". They sure haven't lost dexterity in their fingers. And Bonamassa's prime years are well ahead of him. Joe and Ritchie sound great here. Orianthi has WAY too much distortion. Her sound is too white for blues.
Do everyone a favor----Unplug Richies Guitar!! Joe is the man in this trio, The exchanges between Orianthi and Joe go together much better than Richies "interruptions". A Few times Orianthi was still having her lead and Richie just steps all over it with some rockish stuff and covering better playing than his.
Listen to Joe, and you get those sweet, little well timed pauses that accent the following notes and make them stand out and be part of a flow with emotion.
Not the barrage of non-stop notes that were a bit off, IMO, that Mr. Sambora was serving up!---although he did have a couple interesting little short bursts....but all in all, a Miss for me.
Love Joe and still like Orianthi-----perhaps she didn't want to show up Richie, too bad on stage and just played "Good" instead of like when I've seen her live Better than here--like she's holding back (for Richie--not Joe).
Plus she knows She's playing with Joe, not Joe's playing with Orianthi, as far as Billing Order goes and Joe's the Lead and Richie & Her are like Guests players.
Where as Richie acts like he's the man, it's his show and pointing to people on when to take a lead, then walking on it before they're done. As I said when I opened....Somebody please, just unplug that damn guitar!!
They are three completely different players and yes, Joe is a master level prodigy versed more in the blues than Richie and Orianthi but they all definitely added flavor to the overall composition of sound.
I miss Richie Sambora he's what kept bonjovi on the map. Go for it Richie keep reaching for your dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well , the reality is : Bon JOVI is a Boy band , you can't demanding or expect too much for Boy band .
No disrespect but Richie sounds like a kid trying out a guitar at guitar center
Anyone else cringe when Sambora played most of his first lead in the wrong key? And what in the blue bowels of hell was Orianthi doing? Awful! Just awful!
we played at a bar like that the other night was fun
Derk frank ist auch sehr gut nicht immer nur die Großen,
The DRUMMER and the BASSIST keep it together.....and that hair slices thru.....
Great guitarists indeed. Awesome. But only Joe can hit the nail on the head with raw blues. The others so...so.
Joe's gr8 as always, but the others aren't in the pocket...c'mon rock stars..its a simple 3 chord blues progression..!!!
David Rivers...absolutely right. They didn't even know how to SPELL pocket that night. Thankfully, Joe hung and pulled it somewhat outta the shit. I can only imagine what his thoughts were during the gig.
With you, on his thoughts during the gig. That would have been hard work.
Who is the bass player in this? JOE B killed it!!!! Orianthi is very good, and Sambora, kept trying to show up Joe but failed. Thrill is gone was SICK.
me :)
@@DerekFrankBass ❤ruler. Off the plane 30 minutes before. Fun one pal.
One simple thing a Great Blues players knows.....just as important where you leave the Spaces and leave fans yearning for the next sweet note to carry over. Knowing when NOT TO PLAY ..keeps it from being a Barrage of Notes just flying out in a constant attack!!
Seeing Sambora makes me feel as if I'm at my local bar watching some band's Roadie on Open Mic Night. He was much better during his Bon Jovi days, for sure
Yeah! Can't even navigate the IV chord on a garden variety blues!
If I was Richie I believe I would have opted to play rhythm and let the two better players do their thing. I believe JB was being a bit modest and RB was overdoing it and made himself look like a fool... but who am I? I guess even if you aren't a famous player you can still comment since you are a consumer of the music?
It ashamed Orianthi is dating RB. It's always awkward to see them together and she is slowly disappearing because she has hitched her wagon to a sinking ship... one that was sinking since she was born... I guess he's scared to let her go somewhere by herself. Scared she might see the light I guess
This was some awkwardness but still entertaining to watch.
I'm guessing 99% of people knocking this couldn't play a chord to save their life
They've been through alot.They re all masters of guitar.They've been there and done it all.So easy to critisize.No one has to prove themselves.All in fun.
At least Sambora apologized for that performance. "So sorry....x25"
Pretty rough...... Woulda liked to see joe, gary moore and s.r.v. play a set
Looks like they're having some fun! Isn't that what it's all about?
Ritchie isn't drunk, he's just trying very hard to not look bad next to Joe. I kept wondering where the awful clams were coming from when the camera is off Ritchie. Took a minute. But maybe Ritchie is half deaf now?
What about the bass player and drummer.. no ever mentions them. Lol. Too many egos..
Bonamassa's speed,fluency and specially accuracy is uncanny
He's kind of like Paul Gilbert in the aspect of staying melodic no matter how fast he gets.
Richie playing the spoilt brat as usual. Joe schooled these show ponies . Must listen to more of him
Did you see Richie try to shoo the bass guitarist behind him in the beginning!
Would’ve loved to see him go Sid vicious on sambora
It's all too easy to criticise people from the safety of one's 'bedroom' - why don't you post a video of you playing in a scratch band if you there no you can do better, and let us critique you?
Because they can't/won't.
