Mid-way down through that Reddit post (many, many xposts upthread) a shoegaze discussion breaks out and someone hears Slowdive for the first time and digs it. So thank you Joe Bonamassa for helping keep the scene keep on celebrating itself!

There's a new Bonamassa special on PBS, he's playing a song inspired by "Kashmir" (complete w/strings), and there's a theremin solo.

Quote Meme of Joe: "THE BIGGEST THREAT TO GUITAR MANKIND IS THE NOTION THAT STAGE VOLUMES NEED TO BE LOWER THAN THE VOLUME IN WHICH WE SPEAK"

What’s the best way to ask a particularly rowdy neighbor to keep the volume down on a Sunday night? Send a passive-aggressive text message to the neighborhood WhatsApp group? March over and bang on the door, demanding them to keep quiet? Classic solutions, but not always the most successful. How about crank a Dumble Overdrive Special guitar amp and rip through a timeless Deep Purple hit to give them a taste of their own medicine? Yeah, that’s more like it. That was precisely Joe Bonamassa’s method of choice last weekend, when an especially noisy private party emanating from the nearby Houdini Estate threatened to disrupt the peace that had been established at the Kingdom of Nerdville. Indeed, as darkness engulfed the Hollywood Hills on Sunday night, Nerdville was invaded by an unwanted battery of far-too-loud-for-a-school-night R&B music, which had been launched by a group of over-zealous partygoers at the multi-million-dollar property. Duty-bound to protect the sacred confines of the Nerdville museum as its Mayor, Bonamassa clearly wasn’t going to take the challenge lying down, and did what any discerning guitar aficionado would do: hastily throw together a makeshift rig and return the favor with some equally zealous riffage. As far as last minute rigs go, Bonamassa’s wasn’t half bad: a Dumble Overdrive Special was paired with his prized “Principal Skinner” 1959 Gibson Les Paul, serial number 9-1951.With the help of two of the most elusive and sought-after pieces of guitar gear on the planet, Bonamassa took the fight to those disturbing the peace, returning fire with a wailing, horizon-filling rendition of Smoke on the Water. “Sunday night and the Houdini private party folks are rocking a bit too hard for Nerdville standards at this hour,” he wrote on Instagram. “So I came up with an extreme solution to a simple problem. With the help of Mr. Skinner and Mr. Dumble.” Unsurprisingly, Bonamassa’s no-nonsense methods of protecting the peace were well-received among his peers. Joanne Shaw Taylor commented, “Hank approves,” while Gibson’s Mat Koehler simply wrote, “Epic!” Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Samantha Fish and Glenn Hughes were also among those who supported JoBo’s high-octane methods.

"When I posted a '54 Goldtop I got from the grandchildren of the original owner in Massachusetts, I had several people [saying], 'Oh, another one [that's] never gonna see the light of day; just think about the music that can be played [on it] if somebody else bought it.'""Wait a minute. Let's unpack this logic. First of all, the grandchildren contacted me [for] two reasons. One, they knew I collected guitars. And two, they knew I offered a good home and a fair price. End of story. This isn't guitar-collecting socialism. It's not one guitar for everybody."

this most recent revive has brought forth a realization for me: along with the amorphous entity "TICKETMASTER" -and i'm sure a few others if i put some thought into it- i now have to classify joe bonamassa as one of the great enduring villains of my lifetime. he truly does check all the boxes. mister mxyzptlk ass mofo. gtfoohwtmfbs.

Probably, but I'm guessing might also have something to do with him having released so many damn albums and people really seem to love that Black Country Communion band he's in and I'm sure that's rolled into padding those stats.

Is SRV 'people like Clapton' though? People like Hendrix I suppose.
― doleful lundgren (Matt #2), Thursday, 29 February 2024 20:58 (three months ago) link
I guess my argument is that he was still perceived largely as a blues artist, where Clapton had Cream, Layla, Hendrix is too broad and creative to be a strictly blues artist.
