Buddy Guy - I Smell A Rat

This is inspired by Mikey D... Plain & Simple.

[@americanina5548]

I just stumbled upon this tonight. Damn!! This is the best blues guitar playing I've ever heard in my life!!!

[@EvanBach11]

Saw Buddy Live in the streets of Detroit. Salute to a Legend of the game!

[@billywalker7273]

The most under rated blues player, in the history of the blues. All the modern day players would challenge buddy, and he would send them home humbled. Keep in mind, he was 66 years old, 20 years ago.

[@frankmicalef6156]

I got to play buddy's guitar around 1990 at the El Macombo in Toronto. Man I'll never forget that night. I was hittin the strings with a drum stick and he was playing the cords.

[@lisaweaver986]

If you get a chance just once. Go visit Buddy live, Amazing guitarist and bluesman!

[@Ubu987]

This ferocious overplaying and rushing the beat (the bane of so many would-be blues players) shouldn't work - but it does somehow. It has incredible feel and inventiveness. There is a video of Jimi Hendrix watching Buddy Guy play like this, and Jimi just breaks into a grin as Buddy takes it way over the top and beyond. Righteous!

[@joelfortenberry7865]

So much emotion in his voice- sad and pleading; so much pain and anger at his fingertips. Absolutely perfect. The drums and bass are 110%, but somewhat overwhelmed by the guitar attacks. Best ever

[@timharris4197]

Buddy Guy is a madman on the guitar

[@michaelbrowning8937]

Thank the guitar gods that Buddy has remained with us for all these years. I just hope he understands and realizes how much he means to music lovers for all these years. Go Buddy Go!

[@alvingeter3036]

The way he lets lose on these solos within solos and fills is wild raw emotion, vintage buddy guy!

[@sevinatenine4444]

NO N WORDS,NO B WORDS,NO CUSS WORDS.JUST A MAN AND HIS GUITAR WITH A GREAT BACKING BAND BEHIND HIM,PLAYING THE BLUES.THIS THE WAY I LOVE IT.

[@buddyguy2669]

Wow Buddy! What a classic. One of the most underrated guitarist. I always love coming back to these songs.

[@hankgutter8669]

this is the opening song to the first Buddy album i heard.when i bought it..Stone Crazy.. i have bought lots more..been listening to Sweet Tea lately..love it after a good smoke..Rhythm And Blues is fuckin Buddy classic too

[@Pihasanddunes1]

That is a great album. This is blues at its wildest and most intense.

[@innertubez]

While BB King plays his blues in Heaven, Buddy Guy will hold down the fort here on earth.

[@cornellgreen3692]

innertubez And when Buddy makes it up there, Heaven will have one Hell of a party!

[@dannylocke570]

Yes Sir

[@lisaweaver986]

I always saw them in equal lives of times to writings of their souls. Feed in the same.

[@lisaweaver986]

I bet they both would agree!

[@johnnybgood946]

Like BB King said, Buddy plays the blues in a rock n roll way, manner. That is what the rolling stones have always tried to do also and all rock and rollers also. Buddy Guy one of the very best.

[@BokoBub]

I came here from the Sega CD game Snatcher. One of the Japanese developers left a hidden message in the game as an eastern egg, quoting the opening lyrics and saying something to the player character like “Oh, you’re a Buddy Guy fan as well?”

[@MrJimmyoc00]

one of the best blues records ever recorded!! great band..live in the studiio,phil guy,ray(killer) allison...doesn't get much better

[@gordongibson7202]

last of the old Chicago Blues men .Long live the Blues♥

[@zaraaj1]

What an intro..

[@victorlee7427]

Yes, brilliant intro! Classic Blues.He's still going strong!

[@micksaunders66]

[@VirtualGhostCyRENRAK]

David Wiltse ahead of bbkinh tô my opinion

[@AKM-iq8og]

Awesome. This is the first time I listened. Awesome Buddy Guy. Thank you.

[@xSicKBoyxill]

Idk why Buddy Guy has remained so well hidden, hes a god at what he does

[@jeffgomilla7280]

The master just the master Buddy Guy yes Jimi Hendrix used to sit outside of the Buddy Guy concert and record and watch buddy play so that Jimmy could figure out those notes those licks everybody from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Carlos Santana Keith Richards Ronnie Wood Jeff Beck they all say buddy is the man and I agree Buddy Guy

[@innertubez]

Damn,, thanks for that info - you know Buddy Guy is the master when Jimi Hendrix wanted to learn from *him*.

[@fatfox6706]

Jeff Gomilla now that the King and Muddy have both left us I vote the crown and throne of the blues goesto Buddy. Therefore it's only fitting his sceptre should be Lucille!!!

[@bhadds0574]

YOUR FULL OF GONNAREA

[@VirtualGhostCyRENRAK]

They are ALL GOD, ALL OF THEM

[@BlueLou974]

Are we sure we need their opinions? Sometimes, they can play a litlle bit like Buddy, but they can't sing like him.

[@sheilabarron7206]

Buddy Guy Such A Awesome Bluesman and Damn He Can Play That 🎸

[@user-mv7to6kt8j]

Thanks a lot, Buddy Guy, you just blew my bollocks off - now what am I going to do?!! I needed them!

[@jefcasei1]

I love the blues and really those of Buddy !!! Great man !!!

[@wilmabones8336]

Quite possibly the most talented man in the world!!

[@detroitmartymar8460]

This guy was a shredder ... No pure shredder on the guitar. Detroit Marty

[@georgeclementijr6869]

The man, he is great, saw him twice here in Co. love to hear him again live.

[@gregwatson5315]

Buddy's best guitar work in the studio. The speed and dexterity of those runs are on par with any rock guitarist.

[@coravisser727]

awesomeeeeeeeeeee wonderfull.

[@sharkofjoy]

[@joelliotjake1]

I bought an Alligator Label vinyl in the 80,s called Stone Crazy , this number was on there, musta played it a 1000 times. This is The Real Deal Blues. Saw BG live at Chastain Park Atlanta about 20 years ago. Stood about 25 feet from him for a few songs and i was blown away by this awesome Bluesman, Amen!

[@ernestlmorellsr]

[@mianusonyourmouth4486]

Mr Buddy Guy , a master on that Stratocaster, confessing to hardly a few sins, as you know we all have a few!

[@loukasiordanis1582]

buddy just ripped my face off

[@dlikescheese]

amazing! simply amazing!

[@JDilla8]

The antithesis of Back Door Man. Great song. Great artist.

[@MichaelADAddario]

Masterpiece! "Stone Cold" could be Buddy Guy's greatest album. Raw, ferocious, Buddy Guy.

[@ponnywarcat3478]

Very incredible blues, powerful stuff. There is a rat running around here, I know a rat when I smell it.

This song changed my whole feel of guitar playing !! This is the meanest Blues player when he goes off....and then that sweet voice.....True Legend !!! . Check out some of my Buddy vids ... All comments welcome.... Peace and Blues

[@legendarywaynebennettfamil2969]

REST IN POWER DAD! ONE OF THE BEST LEGENDARY BLUES GUITARIST OF ALL TIMES!

[@gabrielulgc1990]

God this is music what a joy

[@kdonovan221]

Buddy stomped on the wah wah pedal 20yrs before any knew who Jimi was. His producers told him that sound was too strong for commercial music....Alot of greats loved Buddy and cited him as a big influence..Jimi and Stevie Ray are just two of them,,,,,and two of the very best. they are the Mt Rushmore of guitar

[@xblood1978]

K Donovan there was no wah wah then mate and I doubt Buddy was playing in 1947 anyhow you Knob bwahahaha

[@prebooomer]

He was also one of the Musicians who helped found Rock & Roll, along with a raft of others!!

[@frankmyers2203]

Damn! African Americans need to take the game of Rock music back,depressed skinny emo white boys can't touch this,and legends such as B.B King.

[@zalanromero304]

You have Lil' Wayne and Kanye West. I wouldn't brag too much.

[@willc.m.3364]

Zalan Romero Re-listen to Kanye West's words and come back. Lil Wayne ain't bad with the word play either. Tired of people at each other's throats over music without really knowing who they criticize.

[@zalanromero304]

***** Yeah, I listened to both. Pretty unoriginal and simple-minded. Kanye just samples other artists works. His voice is pretty average and his rapping isn't that great. He can rhyme at a seventh grade level. Doesn't make him a genius. Lil' Wayne has no talent whatsoever. I've forced myself to listen to his music before.

[@lynnevitorio2476]

Loved his music!!!

[@lynnevitorio2476]

No reason to make racists remark This artist is over the top... There are no more African American musicians like him left!!!

[@ilanblumenthal2233]

the solo guitar rushes in right from the start, as if there's no tomorrow, and from there on ebbs & tides as if under 3 full moons. All the while the bass is providing the backbone of a full-sized anaconda..
