Now I am a fan....You are not only extraordinary player.. You are a humbled man. Great Interview..

I watch at least one Bonamassa music video everyday and I pick up my guitar daily because of him. What a ripper bloke, musician and inspiration. Thanks mate.

.."at the end of the day, there's enough room for everybody" says a lot about his good character.🧡

Thanks Joe. Great human being. A product of unconditional loving parents.

Joe... The UK is crying out for a proper tour, a keeping the blues alive alive tour. The full band.... There are more cities than London and Edinburgh. For the love of Blues, please hit central UK, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham.... So many fans just waiting to see you and the band in the flesh. Much love from the UK.

Very credible coming from a guy who was rejected by the music industry and made it on his own! Admittedly I’m a huge fan. But you can’t deny the years spent grinding it out before succeeding have given him a valuable perspective. Any advice he has, I’m all ears! Keep rocking Joe!

So blessed to be living in The Time of Joe!!!

You are sooo awesome and great human JOE❣️ I love you forever 😘❤️🌹💕

I have great respect for all artist like Joe. In my late years I purchase CD's, vinyl, merch, and attend shows of talented upcoming artists who may never reach top level fame. They deserve to, but many are self producing and controlling their music with integrity.

When I watched this 1st time I was so impressed, love him❤️Didn't change...❤️

I'm definitely here just for you Joe.

Amazing guitarist and more importantly a fantastic human being!!! Thank u for sharing your talent and wisdom with us!!

Joe Bonamassa is an incredible artist, masterful on his instrument. The style of music genre (Blues/Rock) is fantastic. A Blues guitarist that plays with real passion. His hard work and diligence in the music industry shows in his smart business sense and great music.

My favorite guitar player ever! I am so glad I found this musician. I download his music from Amazon music. Joe you are the best.

And you cant get much more honest & straighter than that! Awesome!

Just had to pause this video and respond to Joe’s comments on Spotify. I couldn’t agree more with his stance on Spotify and how much it devalues artistic expression. Buy the album, go to the gig and buy the merchandise- that’s the best way to support artists.

I had to pause the video as well to say I agree with you. Spotify and others are pushing for artists to become influencers. But then that is not an artist, that is a puppet. Its killing genuine creativity, and the artists who stay true don’t get paid for it. I try and buy all my music digitally, but would also like to start a physical collection once I get my own place (and have money). Spotify costs like $150 a year. You can buy like 13 albums. Those albums would mean much more to you than those end of year recaps do. It’s real value then to you, not towards a greedy company.

If theres a better person, as well as a guitar player, I would certainly like to meet him!!!! God Bless JLB!!!!!!!

This guy is the best guitarist alive! Technically faultless and such a humble human

Excellent interview!

A wonderful musician with some very valid thoughts. I love his music and his thought process. Hope to see you at a venue in the fall.

This interview showcases why I love to listen to JB (aside from his awesome musical talent, of course!), because he is really smart and down-to-earth and rational and good-hearted! Thanks Blues Rock Review - this was a fantastic interview with really pertinent questions! 🥰🥰🥰

A comment for Joe personally - Sir, if you're reading this... I read that you took your inspiration from SRV, and I love that - you have taken that passion and developed your own sound and your own amazing talent to the point where I can't imagine how awesome it would be to see you and Stevie jamming together. Your music makes me happy, thank you.

Love this man and his music! Songwriter,singer and master guitarist! What an inspiration! 😎

When Joe speaks it is always worth listening to, great artist . Steve in Thailand.

If it weren't for u tube I wouldn't know what happened to that young man I used to see once in a blue moon on tv ( I live near enough to where he grew up that we heard more) so if u tube is social media then thank you. He is facinating...and oh so gifted.

Joe THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK & PASSION & Giving Me the INSPIRATION for My GUITAR ADDICTION!!!! 143...

I saw you in Columbia last Saturday. What a great performance! Hope you come back here again!! Next time, I hope to get closer to the stage. 🎼🎸

Joe.... one gracious man.

I love Joe Bonamassa!

Good interview

very nice interview... i am glad damien keyes video (without intending) lead me to this video... applaud for and agree with your mindset, joe. its sooo important to have people with your way of thinking today! thanx!

I like Joe Bonamassa as he has excelled himself as a noteworthy Blues Rock figure. By the same token, I like Samatha Fish because she's trying hard to come up in the very masculine world of Rock & Rock Blues world.SF is good to watch LIVE & will reach a higher stage in her career than she's longing for. But the reason I mention SF is that those were the old days when both JB would perform on the same small, quickly assembled stage, outside shopping arcade & so on. But that's how all the bands make their start. Those early days, I still remember when we were just getting used to Joe's surname. But now JB is well known & fills all the big auditoriums all over the world playing among all his heroes. So good on you JB & ROCK ON & make everyone happy. I also have to say all the best to SF.

Well said Joe, It's the wild west for the music industry at the moment with too much saturation of released music, and people telling you to sell Tshits and give your music and musicianship away for free.. I won't be releasing my next album on Spotify..

Joe's take on Spotify and the likes...that is why I still buy my music on CD or Blu-ray (and go to shows of course, I have seen Joe more than once here in the Netherlands). There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone said once...

Nothing but respect for Joe as superlative guitarist and vocalist . His talent is monumental in a class of very few members ...👏👏👏👏👏

Joe is awesome! I never bought any of his records but I hope he got some money out of the jb guitars I've bought!

The real deal, smart guy, great singer amazing player and fellow guitar lover :)

Best bluesman of all time. full stop.

I'm a bedroom player. I cannot justify paying $100+ to see a show. I am so happy to own a Bonamassa wah!

And this before the Covid. I wouldn't even dare to ask him about the state of music business today. So sad.

WE LOVE JOE!

He is so talented nice guy

Very well spoken with some keen insight.

Cool interview, thanks :)

Thank you for clarify the spotify stuff. I always had this question. From now on, even if I stream, I will by the physical CD to support my preferred musicians.

Man, he dropped some great names. JD Simo and Larkin Poe. Way to go Joe.

There has never been statue made and named for a critic.

Great Joe

Enjoyed this 😎👍

Joe Bonamassa nails it... 10 or 20.000 Hours Training, pain in fingers and you should Play as a musician for Nothing. Everybody is Paid for his 8 to 5 Job. Please pay your musicians - no musician can go Shopping with no Money.

I like this guy, not that familiar with his work...but he's obviously a good guy..

No wonder my daughter has had "small " bands staying at her house for 2 or 3 days ,being fed and housed, and playing a short show and or practice session for her friends ..managers, wives, a few kids even....when having several days between concerts that are near her and their next show they have loved a place to hang. I think though that the last band to do it made her a bit more selective...they ruined a good thing. P.s. she's a damn good cook.

lespaullover59 . . . "I can only be myself" 😢

Joe tells it like it is. We have no clue how music industry has screwed them

music, like just about everything else has become Boutique, specialized audiences, Spotify is not the only game in town, the market is opened up

@@enkiea8322 It strikes me that if a musical person wanted to sincerely build a career, they can now access an entire raft of communication, and media options that can result in an independent path.

Which is tact typically used by grifters to dupe creators. Sure, there are more open paths of communication. Paths of communication that other "artists" use to steal intellectual property/ideas from artists who post original material on places like Instagram. To say an artist/creator would simply figure out all this labyrinth intrigue/minutia if they "genuinely wanted a career" is dismissive and condescending, respectfully.

Joe's exactly right about Spotify... it's robbery plain and simple

Cute articulate busines man and powerful musician

Just stop buying up all the vintage equipment out there, Joe!

Joe names the JOO

Spotify type stuff is only really good for getting exposure that's it not for making money....it might help to build an audience which might pay to see you live that will make money. It's just really an exposure tool at best.

I will disagree with him on cost of making and producing a record...it doesn't cost the same because people can get a laptop and pro tools at home for $9.99 a month and make a record cheap that can sound as good as a studio album. This way you own your masters because you didn't take a loan from the record company that you have to pay back.
