Because i’m Into guitars and stuff I sometimes click on videos or read articles about the kind of people who’s audience consists only of guitar players. I’m talking about yer Joe Bonnassas and yer... you know. That lot. The guys who are always in guitar magazines and nowhere else. Tell you what? Let’s make it about just him.
So after a while of seeing him pop up in suggested vids I think, well, he’s into some cool stuff. He has. Massive collection of cool guitars and tweed amps and i’d Like to see them. He likes loads of the same stuff I do. Maybe i’ll Check this vid out.
Ok, so he’a A bit of a dork but that’s kind of sweet and he’s also fairly endearingly snarky... like not nauseatingly humble and not a total dick. Seems like a dude you could chat to. But he’s dressed appallingly and i’m Still sure i’ll Hate his actual music... He’s amusingly self-deprecating and keeps mentioning little specific bits of music that he reveres and I love it too... maybe I should put aside my snobbery? He’s obviously an amazing player right? I find out that one of his best known tunes is his cover of one of my all time favourite guitar tunes... an early ZZ Top tune...Maybe I should check it out?
Holy FUCK this is TERRIBLE! It’s everything was feared it would be. Mushy, gainy guitar widdles, HORRIBLE close mic live recorded generic studio band, naff arrangement, just awful. Awful. Awful. Everything I knew it would be before I started to doubt myself.
Bleaurgh!
