I was the guy with The Bludgeon that he took backstage and showed his rig, pedalboard and guitars. It was a totally unexpected and unbelievable thrill and experience I’ll never forget. Such a cool, gracious and humble guy with so much talent. I was with my son who also plays guitar and we were able to have that experience together.
Every interview, the first thing I note is JB is such a genuine, down-to-earth, and kind individual, who happens to be one of the most knowledgeable people about vintage gear. Oh, and he plays guitar as well.
I like how accessible JB really is. He’s not having his tech give the interview. He’s straight forward about what he does and why. He’s as much a curator and historian as he is an artist and a collector.
I could listen to Joe all day long, I always learn something, he has so much guitar knowledge and is so passionate about it and very kind and genuine to interview.
In everything I've seen with this guy, he just seems genuine and kind. Clearly, he knows his gear. But, his passion for it and his willingness to share is above and beyond. Fun stuff indeed.
@@SkyAvila777are you a monk? Everyone has something they are passionate about that they want or have. It’s because you take it with you… that you enjoy it while you are here.
I'm like Joe I don't care what people think you just play you learnt your chops and play original music to and make people feel like music is still alive
I love how much I've learned about history, gear, music over time by watching interviews with Joe. I hope to catch him live at Red Rocks sometime soon!
@@rdog6402I thought it was just me! There’s this bit of smugness about JB that puts me off, and his stage persona seems a bit too slick, almost corporate. But there’s no denying the guy is an incredible guitarist!
with most badass guitar players my intrigue usually comes from somewhere along the lines of how in the hell are they playing what they are playing so good? but with Joe it's more along the lines of how in the hell does he remember all of that gear? The man literally has everything and remembers every single solitary specification, story and detail that goes along with each piece. not only a great guitar player but just full of knowledge. I would love to go into guitar nerd mode with this guy...
Truly enjoy listening to Joe run down his rig, the wealth of knowledge and understanding (and experience!) there is truly amazing. Hard-earned knowledge
Great stuff! I know Joe owns tons and tons of vintage gear, and I truly respect his decision to take that stuff on the road and actually use it. I would personally be so concerned about anything from that Klon to the ‘59 LP getting stolen, I wouldn’t be able to leave the stage or focus on the gig. I’m sure he has great security and insurance, but as he says, this is over $1,000,000 worth of gear just sitting on a stage. Amazing.
Hey Joe changing the subject, I enjoyed one of those custom car building shows I watched on TV many years ago & I don’t even remember who the builder was but you had them to build, seems like it might have been a Roadrunner and it was a car you were giving to your parents. As you’ve been saying, pay it back, help others, musicians. Well, your parents helped you to get to where you are with your music career so, blessing your parents with that cool car was very nice.👍 Joe Bonamassa, absolutely one of the nicest individuals on the face of planet Earth. One kool dude.😎👍
I have never seen or heard of another extensive collection of ALL the greatest musical guitars,amps&pedals from a single musician/collector!!! Joe hands down is the KING of priceless vintage musical equipment..... He is a walking museum of guitar and amp knowledge..... I would hate to pay his insurance and security bill when he goes on tour...Talk about a mobile Fort Knox!!!!!! Joe Bonamassa is one of a kind!!!!! The world is lucky this man has spent millions for years and years making sure all the greatest built guitars and amps over the last 100 yrs are cared for and contunue to be played for all of us to enjoy!!!! God bless you Joe
Joe is such a genuine gem and great person... - as much as Like to hear him play, I like to hear him talk - much to learn, but more so the great stories he has to tell...
Next to the most popular interviewers this one here is top line. We actually get a more into depth with Joe . The rig , the why , the guitars, the person and the character he presents as an actor musician .
So cool! I was likely having a beer at McGeary's across the street before the show! That's where band members will go for refreshments before shows for a lot of groups at the Palace. Joe had a great show.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on your variety of amps and your power conditioner. So cool, I wouldn't have known that valuable information without you sharing. Class act you are JB. Much continued success going forward and good luck on your grammy Nomination. You earned every bit of it...
Love the trips to the amp shanty and guitar safe. Joe knows so much. I've been around music all my life but never understood a lot of the "how" and "why". Learned a lot watching and listening to Joe. It's never boring. Plus he's hilarious and humble. Thanks for the great interview. 🤘 Mike walking dog at the end is priceless!!!
amps on stage, the way it should be, i hate bare stages. I bought my 25/50 jubilee head and both 4x12 cabs brand new in 1988 for like 2 grand, a lot of money back then for a young guitar player, i still have it
I remember (I’m old) seeing this 13-14 year old kid from the Mohawk valley playing in a club called “Tiger’s “ in the outskirts of the capital district, back in the day, and thinking, this kid is going to make his name when he’s older. Who knew I was witnessing the beginning. I’m sure Joe,after playing all over the world, reflects back on it fondly, his hard work and his humble beginnings. We would all go to the “Palace” in Albany to see the “big” bands play there. Seeing him play there, it’s full circle for me.🙏🙏 Amazing 🤟
For a while, I didn't care much for Joe, because his playing doesn't really do much for me, but seen a few interviews now and he's briliantly down-to-earth, self-deprecating, and very self-aware around the public perception of him. I might not listen to his music but I respect the hell out of him.
No idea on anything he talks about but it's entertaining listening to somebody nerd out on gear, I'm stil in aww how people can sing and play at the same time! 😂
Man, before watching this video, I knew nothing about live setups. Now, hmmmm, I don't even know what to say. But, I'm almost ready to start learning the drums. Nice to know where it all fits in the puzzle. After the drums, then I will learn guitar. So nice of the experts to put these videos on the net.
@@allstopblue5717 I totally disagree. If you slam the tailpiece flush touching body it makes the guitar resonate more in hence giving you more sustain. Especially at stage volume.
@@mrJimCharles It is noticeable, as is the string tension. I put some super slinkys on it because I usually run 9's or 10's, it feels like 7's or 8's, a little to slinky for my taste. I have a set of String Joy Broadways on order, some 10's and some 11's. I think its dependent on the instrument as to how much it affects it. I plan of trying it on my Gibson LP when the new sets arrive.
Yep..in Joe's case, the right guy achieved the success. You couldn't ask for a better guy to be 'the guy'. He is the example of how to act when u r famous.
He's the best businessman around, no doubt. He's also a robotic and predictable guitar player, and a weak songwriter. Actually, he's more a businessman than an artist.
@@shook9042 if you mean playing live, yes. If you mean the playing style, i would rather want to be like SRV or GM: flawless and memorable solos, great songwriting, and less marketing.
You are correct. For some reason i found best combination for all my guitars in Amplitube ( input/ pedals/ amps/effects/mics). But when I try on every other Amp simulator with same input, and similar settings, on all gitars.. I just cant find any combination to make it sound nearly as nice. Im talking about Bias Fx2, THU, Toncracy, ReAmp Studio, AmpLocker Guitar Rig... what do I do wrong in those simulators..
Not too long ago Joe said he was “ hoping to keep it going for another 20 years . Then in various conversations afterwards he has talked about retiring a few times. No dates ,just talk. Here a few minutes in ,when asked about where his setup goes in the future , Joe said “ this is it ,in 10 years I’m done.” I’m going to see him on his fall tour, soon. It maybe my last Joe Bonamassa concert/show. Nobody knows the future… and Joe may have more miles on the road, around the world than anyone. He’s done it all…. I might want to buy another ticket-soon!!
Actually he paid more for the old Jubilee because, 32 years ago $400 was a lot of money and had the same purchasing power as $4,000 does today. I've seen Joe in concert several times, he's awesome.
25:29 When Bonamassa mentioned the Kikusui, I remembered that Angus relied heavily on this tool, and it turned out to be true that he followed Angus Young who had been using it for a long time, I admire Angus who was very detailed with frequencies, especially for Marshall amplifiers
damn , Joe has a hell of an ear I'm listening in my Bose headphones and I can't believe how 3 dimensional that sounds on stage I've never been able to hear it like that , killer Joe !
Joe Bonamassa and cool for newer generations? I imagine the target demographic for his music isn't Gen Z, or even millennial. He has a disdain for the internet, loves a "boomer bend" as kids call it nowadays, and owns hideously expensive guitars that Gen Z can't afford (young players don't tend to aspire to play Gibson guitars like previous gens, they're probably considered quite opulent nowadays and tbh, there's plenty of brands offering as good quality for less money). Honestly it reminds me of the Spinal Tap documentary a little. His demographic is the boomer crowd. Specifically the guys who go to the Thursday night jam at the Kings Head with a collection of really expensive guitars to play 15 minute blues solos.
@@matthewg7069 i dunno. Been a metalhead for as long as i can remember. Thought blues and classic style guitars like LP’s where lame and out of date but Joe ’s music is great and made me appreciate what made guitars good in the first place. Every guitar made these days are just an interation of what has already been made. I’m in my 30’s btw.
It's probably not healthy how much I love JB,, obviously one of the best guitar players in the world but the same as Clapton, Its Joe the performer I'm nuts about, the songs his great singing his stage craft, there's one or 2 who could chase him on playing but to jump to frontman total performer its a whole different story.PS, if you close your eyes you can hear how many hours he studied Eric !Having watched about every live gig video in the last few years ,every time Joe uses the red 335 I always thought to myself does Joe know what a screaming crystal-clear tone comes from this guitar versus a tele out front ? , stupid question,,, The best sounding Les Paul ever !!
It'd be cool to get Mark Tremonti and Joe-Bo in the same room together... such vastly different styles, but two true gear hounds and incredible musicians in their own rights.
I was at a kids birthday party with 30 5 year olds that peaked at 112dB today. Just to put the 115dB reference into perspective and make it relatable to normal people.

Hes the only guy that actually uses these priceless vintage stuff
Joe is so incredibly knowledgeable. Incredibly talented and just a pleasure provider for all his fans. He's so hardworking. Love him❤️
-I agree, I really like him. All the ugly criticism I've heard about him is ridiculous and petty./ He's phenomenal and a great singer too
"It's a 59." "I know, I wasn't allowed to touch it." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite musicians. I will always watch a JB video. He has such a wealth of knowledge.
Most enjoyable, honest and humble JB interview I've ever seen - changed my view of him even more....thank you....
I like that Joe plays on wood floors in small theaters. Best shows I've seen were in theaters like these.
I love how much I've learned about history, gear, music over time by watching interviews with Joe. I hope to catch him live at Red Rocks sometime soon!
What a great comprehensive rundown! Joe was so calm and took his time to explain so much. Thanks AMS!!
One of the best responses ever to the, is that a real one? question......JB... "generally, as a rule of thumb, you dont have to ask that question.."
The kind of coment a jerk would do. For the fanboys on the comment section.
It’s that type of comment from him that puts me right off. Just can’t take to him at all. Wouldn’t mind his gear collection though!
Have to say that was a real cocky moment from him. @@rdog6402

Idk why joe gets so much hate. The dude has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tone and guitars. He has helped me craft a lot of my tone
So much hate? He doesn't get even a little....He his one of the best ever....no one that's worth a shit would ever say that.
What he mostly gets is jealousy more so than hatred, and it's usually from those who talentwise, couldn't even qualify to shine his shoes.
Love Joe not just a great guitar player but wealth of knowledge on the gears concerning their history.
@@msaintpc😂 good one!
He has gone out of his way to show his fans how to get THAT sound without breaking the bank. He's not getting any hate from me.
Truly enjoy listening to Joe run down his rig, the wealth of knowledge and understanding (and experience!) there is truly amazing. Hard-earned knowledge
Joe's a character. Maybe the best "rig" tour of his gear I've ever seen. Great job.
Joe is the Jay Leno of guitar gear! Love it all day long. His playing just keeps getting better, which is mind boggling. He works incredibly hard
JOE BONAMASSA IS A DOUCHE BLUES

One nice man,very cool.

I Love Joe !
Joe is one of the best!
I think it doesn't really matter what kind of amps he's using. His sound comes from years of practise, i.e from his hands and pick ...
"you don't need to ask if its real" ... "look at how lucky I am, why not give back" ... two sides of a very interesting musician
This was......simply remarkable.
Joe really has that great violin with grit tone!
Man, all those tones are so great. I'm envious. I've been steered so wrong my whole life on tones haha. Oh well.
Love Joe and love AMS.
The sign Bonamassa hasn't bought strings in 20 years is he priced them at $4 a pack. 😆
He buys in bulk 😮
*Joe, the One and the Only! . . .* 🎸💓

You are correct. For some reason i found best combination for all my guitars in Amplitube ( input/ pedals/ amps/effects/mics). But when I try on every other Amp simulator with same input, and similar settings, on all gitars.. I just cant find any combination to make it sound nearly as nice.

So glad to see Hickey is back!🤘 i have the same exact taste in guitars as him. Old Charvels and Jacksons And of course vintage Gibson and Fender.
