Topic: Hey!

guess u already know me for all the wrong reasons................................

anyway lets just straighten out a few things.....

1 - Im not here to have a go at anyone, i do love joes music, and in my mind he is second only to Gary Moore.

2 - not heard of the word 'Naff' shame...................................


3 - I am not claiming i have a good web site, just not singing the praises of this one.

4 - Me - im 17 from Blackburn in dull lancashire. I play guitar in a band (Amplify This!), and while i play punk music with them, my number one love is the blues! (strange i know for someone my age??)

I particularly like:

Gary Moore
Joe B (thats why im here)
Setvie Ray Vaughan
Clapton
Paul Camilleri
Muddy Waters
B.B. King
Muddy Waters

And in a more rock vein:

Status Quo
Kiss
ZZ Top
Stray Cats
Thin Lizzy


anyway hope ive not left anyoutstanding grudges??? lol
see you round

Re: Hey!

Welcome to the forum chris.  You seem to have rattled a few cages with your first posts but you'll find we're a fairly forgiving bunch.  Anyways, if you love JB as much as the rest of us you're in the right place, and that's all that matters - Joe Bonamasssa the man and his music. 

Hope you can catch JB live in the next few weeks - you're in for a real treat.

Re: Hey!

Thanks Chris!

How did you get to the Blues?! When I had a look at your myspace site I wondered if you listened to all the punkrock-artists first and discovered the Blues afterwards or if it was the other way round ?

Are you going to see Joe on his UK Tour?

Re: Hey!

Hi Chris, good to see you're here and interacting in a positive way. Welcome aboard....we're all pretty decent people as you'll find out and you'll probably meet one or two of us at Joe's gigs. Any gear questions you have about guitars or amps....well you'll find more information from the members here than any other site I know.

Re: Hey!

OK Chris,  I read it all.  Good job to "Man up" and do the right about face.  Welcome to the grown folks forum.  Give us a chance and we'll give you one. 

I'm not always one of the "pretty decent people", but I'm fair.  Peace there will be.

GoodLuck

Hi Chris, I do hope you play by the rules and hang out because i think it will benefit both you and us.
I can't say it here but there is another word i didn't know until I was like 25 or something, my husband still gets a kick out of it when he thinks about it. anyhoo the cool thing is naff isn't caught by the naughty word filter or against the rules yet.

oh yeah, I have learned alot about Gary Moore from this website, specifically the fans here. before i was a Bonamassa fan the only Gary Moore song i knew was "I'm Always Gonna Love You" because thats the only one they played on the radio.
there's a pic of Joe and Gary in the photo gallery.

also if you need help navigating the site or finding info about Joe just ask and we'll help the best we can.

Jane I think you need to add BonaNaff to the BonaGlossary!

According to Wikipedia: "Naff is British slang. It has several meanings: * Something which is seen to be particularly "cheesy" or "tacky" or in otherwise poor aesthetic"

- Chris, I never met a KISS fan I didn't like.
WELCOME, and rock on with your socks on.

Re: Hey!

Hello young man...As BigJeff stated elsewhere, I am the defender of the youngins, but, lets agree to mutual respect and good manners. Then we can disagree in a civil manner. There are fans here from all genres. That's the great thing about Joe's music. I can't tell you how many other artists have benefited from the posts on this site but I will guess it's many. Post away and remember you are in "Joe's House"..take your boots off before you come in!   Granny, Cathy

Re: Hey!

Well, thank you.  Don't let that get around.  All the local guys think I'm a half-breed gangster.  They won't let me near any of their vapid young strumpets either.

BTW Chris, if your first love really has come to be blues, I will gladly contribute to your education.  I'll take you way back so you can listen to the stuff Joe B, & Jimmy Page, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher, Billy Gibbons, et al listened to.  You have not even scratched the surface.  Before and during Muddy himself.  Then you'll have a style after a few thousand hours of total immersion.

If you wanna be a blues slinger play in a blues band.  I had to leave my peer group behind in younger days.
