are JB shows family friendly? (Page 1 of 2)

Welcome to the forum.  Yes, family friendly, it's fairly "free" of language. Joe has been known to drop an F-bomb during "story time" about 2-3 songs into the electric set.    You can always take "lobby" break during this time if this might be a problem.

Totally agree with Patty!! The show I went to I saw kids around the ages of 5 in the pit with their parents! They had earplugs in, but Joe keeps it light for the most part! I think it would be an awesome experience for your son!

Yes, but depending on your seats and the venue, you may want earplugs.  Might want them anyways, just in case.  It's not Yngwie loud, but still...

In my opinion every kid in America should hear The "F" Word with or without parental involvement and/or parental approval.
Yup, I'm serious.  Persons born and raised in the vicinity of the Onondaga Escarpment are colorful people with wonderful storytelling traditions, domestic and imported.    Soooooooooo, expect children's ears (presuming , they haven't had introductory noun and verb interchangeability lessons with the basic 7 seven already...at home, cough, cough) to be indoctrinated.  It's for their own good.  However, ancillary lecturing may be needed if one's young are not familiar with the most basic American Interational Sign Language, the rude it meant tarry Middle F Note!  May it please parental units, Joe Bonamassa may have the digit protruding, indeed, quite provocatively.  Raise no alarm, it is just a strumming hand technique Joe Bonamassa has oft used to display some of the ferociously fastest stunning strumming and wildy exciting acrobatics.  No first row/barrier patron has ever been injured by his application, unexpectedly or otherwise, nor suffered brain damage or hair loss. 

Joe may, however, actually being giving "The Finger" to his guitar, no matter how much he paid for it or how far it has traveled faithful and true with him... * :w

I hope I have been nominally helpful.  Have a great time!

And then there were none!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!! Welcome to bonametal Mary!!

His shows are full of expletive driven rants, cussing, bawdy tales and obscene gestures enough to make a sailor blush.... NO WAIT - That was Billy Connolly !!!

Took my 8 year old son to see Joe once.  Not a problem.  I had earplugs for him, but even where we were on the 3rd row, the sound was not too loud and we didn't use them.
