Topic: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

of course I love all Joe's playing, but I always wondered if Joe ever listens to heavy metal or thrash ?....I watch all these guitar covers on youtube, and thought it would be awesome to see Joe pick up an old BC Rich or Jackson and do a cover of Master of Puppets (Metallica) or Angel of Death (Slayer) or "fill in the blank"  just to see Joe as a metal shredder. Not intended to be played live of course, but just to film it for fun an see what his take would be on some older thrash classics....just a thought......cheersZ

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

haha that would be kind of cool to see! maybe a little south of heaven (slayer) or Am I Evil (Metallica). That would definitely be cool to see, but then again that would be like telling Metallica to play some blues for us. I just can't imagine it. haha

...no vocals required here, just a guitar cover. How cool would it be to see Joe with a Motorhead shirt on playing Ozzy-Over the Mountain guitar cover on a Jackson V

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

His own album was named for a song from the Grammy-winning Heavy Metal Group Jethro Tull wink

He played with Ozzy.  Here is an excerpt from the interview follows:

Rock N Roll Universe: Recently you worked with OZZY OSBOURNE on a cover of the BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD song "For What It's Worth", for his "Prince of Darkness" box set. How did you get hooked up with Ozzy, and how was that experience for you?

Joe Bonamassa: "Well, he just called me out of the blue, and said, 'You want to play on the Ozzy record?' I was like 'Sure.' I'd just got home from the tour, I answered the phone, and he asked me if I wanted to play on it. It was a really, really good experience. It was one of those things, to be on a record, where for all intents and purposes blues guitar players are generally not invited. (Laughs) It was a good feather in my cap. I like the way the track came out, I really, really enjoy the way it came out."

Rock N Roll Universe: Was there ever a time when you actually sat down with Ozzy and worked out what he wanted you to play on the track?

Joe Bonamassa: "No, I didn't even sit with him, I just sat with the producer. I just went to the studio in L.A., I was there for maybe two hours and played the whole thing."

Mike Hickey had told us he was having fun working on a heavy metal version of Rock Candy's "One Phone Call". That would be wild to see him and Joe doing that big_smile

Joe doing Thrash??? ....might as well pour tonic in fine wine.... but Joe is perfectly capable in pouring tonic into fine wine if he wants to!?  ...just my few cents!

I would like to hear him run through some Iron Maiden riffs, or Michael Schenker solos!

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

I agree. Let Joe do what he does best, what he grew up with, what he knows. Sure he can play anything, we know that. You want him doing an opera next? My choice previously and it remains so is for a country/blues, country/rock deal with several special guests on it. Think "Revenge of the 10 Gallon Hat" and you're there. smile I don't need to hear Joe doing Pantera, it's a terrible thought.

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

Not thrash, but when I saw him a couple years ago the preshow music was Iron Maiden's "Two Minutes To Midnight." \m/ \m/ Up The Irons!  I bet Joe listens to heavier stuff from time to time - some of BCC's tunes bordered on metal.

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

from my understanding he likes Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, and Whitesnake, those sorts of things. He has been doing some Whitesnake riffs in Just Got Paid, he actually does that at the RAH and Hammersmith Apollo on his new Tour De Force dvds

Re: Just a thought, Joe plays thrash metal ??

He's mentioned Iron Maiden before in one of his tweets and has mentioned Whitesnake and Judas Priest in interviews. 

Depending on the song he could definitely do some interesting things.  I wouldn't mind hearing Joe trade some licks with Dave Mustaine.  :-)

I bet he could have some fun with some of Steve Clark's riffs from any number of Def Leppard songs. Plus, Phil Collen and Viv Campbell are both Rory Gallagher fans so it might not be that much of stretch do that kind of collaboration.

Which then brings me to Randy Rhoads given the Ozzy mention up above.

Hmmm...the possibilities.
