Bonamassa. Remind me again why we all hate him?

Skipped

The recent Greek Theatre show is great, the 3 female backing singers are great, and a very big chunk of it is on youtube, on his official channel........in 1080p.

I will say it again......isn't Youtube amazing??

But the big shock in this show was that most of the songs are using his other guitars.....not 'Bursts.
Must be nice to play a vintage V and Explorer just for a change.

...oh and I still maintain that he is somewhere on the spectrum, and I don't mean that in a nasty way, I genuinely do think there is something about him that suggests Asperger's or the like.

I think the same could be said of most of us obsessives on here.

is it his stupid dredlocks?

I only ever hear of him on here. I'm not really a fan of guitar music for guitarists, especially not blues for middle aged, middle class honkies. And anybody wearing sunglasses indoors is a bell. 

But I don't hate him, I just don't give a shit.

To be fair to him, he only wears sunglasses indoors when he is onstage in the glare of spotlights.

Everyone needs Animal on drums.

To be fair to him, I was at the Albert Hall gig that was released on DVD. Sky Arts show it every so often as well.  The two drummer set up was very well done.

He wears glasses normally and I reckon the shades are prescription so he can read the lyrics on the teleprompter. Shades cooler than regular glasses onstage.

This is exactly it for me. He's a hard worker and seems a nice chap, so I don't begrudge him anything, I just find his music dull to listen to. 

You guys are just jealous.
