Joe is a great player, no doubt there. But the songs I've heard that he's written are pretty godawful as far as blues goes. I could see liking him a lot more in a different band format but he tends to play blues/rock with cheesy, stereotypical lyrics and solos that I would hardly call blues. With songs like this, I group him more with John Mayer than I do with guys that I would call modern blues players.briane wrote:While I respect your ability to make your own decision, It sounds like you prefer george michaels to the blues.....It's too bad all of that great gear is getting used for such cheesy music :-X.
I think he is rockin. There for a while I had given up on the future of the blues in the commercial racket for youngsters. Joe proved me wrong.
Just sayin...
Joe! Pass the GAS!

While I like the original Bad Company version better I don't think he did that bad of a job. I like Joe B and many of his original tunes are kick ass IMO.But to each his own I guess.

Re: Joe! Pass the GAS!
Lol sorry, bad example. I didn't realize that was a Bad Company tune! I can't hate on him too much, as I said he's a great player but I have a hard time buying the whole guitar hero thing he does for some reason.

I don't know how much is the pedestal people place these guitar players on or how much is JB's ego.  He has one of course but I also found him to be very genuine and easy to verse with.
