I quite like Joe , but I see it more as seeing several decent tribute acts at once.

I don't get the fuss about slash myself.

Oooh, I'm with you there!!  :lol:

I think you might get a few voices of dissent.

This really should be a thread of its own.  Doing it now....

I kinda feel bad for Joe in 1 way as when you've got that guitar in your hands the weight of expectation must be huge! But then again I don't feel much emotion from him, I enjoy his playing, but it seems sterile at the moment & I'd rather hear Rory than Joe any day

 Well music is in the ear of the beholder I suppose. Personally I could hear fire and emotion in that clip and in JB's general playing.

 I can however understand why, now that this icon has re-emerged that people would want it to sound like it did. Well anyway now it's out and about again maybe someone will do something with it along those lines.

 Being ancient I saw that guitar in Rory's hands when he was in Taste at the Civic W-hampton and I was about 15/16. Imagine what that did to a spotty youth.

Also being ancient I saw this (1.25 in video) at the IOW festival. Although I was not near the front of the stage it was rather a large muffty and was well visible. Imagine what that did to a very young spotty kid  :?

Rory's slide tele playing was also excellent.

^ Wow, I'm not as ancient as I thought!  :o

I didn't get to see any gigs until the very end of the '70s.

Yeah, I thought of you when this thread first started.

So, Joe Bonamassa has finally had the privilege of trying out one of the guitars that one of our very own BKP forumites played :lol:

Add to that that I touched it a few times myself - there's probably others on here who did as well - Joe must feel really honoured now :D

Well I have told this story before but hey:

Many years ago, when I were a mere lad, a mate & I had occasion to visit a certain guitar shop and  in the workshop, there was a guitar on the bench. We were told not to touch because it belongs to Rory etc etc. Well you can guess the rest I am sure.

My story's not so impressive - I was at the front at several gigs where I can remember taking part in the holy "touch-the-guitar" ritual :lol:.
