Joe Bonamassa: "The best advice I can give to a music artist" | dopeYEAH talk

[@Ggrma45]

Have been to five of Joe's concerts...if you have not seen him live you don't know what you're missing. Absolutely fabulous. Mountain Time at the Royal Albert is sheer heaven.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Wow, five concerts-that's dedication! Thanks for sharing 💙

[@MelodyMaker]

Yeah. That intro especially.

[@AndreaBertello-e7c]

What an amazing guy! He deserves all that he has earned. So talented and humble too. Always awesome!❤❤❤

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thank you! Joe’s talent and dedication definitely shine through. Glad you enjoyed the interview!

[@TalThomas-ve8bn]

Forever grateful to Joe for turning me on to the Cold Stares!

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Joe's influence runs deep! 👍

[@BGsea]

Joe is a bad mfn bluesman. Get a front row seat to one of his shows and be amazed. People like to compare but I like oranges apples grapes and so on and I don't want them to remind me of each other. I always appreciate those who get an interview with him. The interviews keep getting more interesting as he continues to season as a bluesman

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Love this! Joe’s a true original, and he just keeps bringing more to every performance. Blues has so many styles and personalities-just like the apples, oranges, and grapes you mentioned! Each artist adds their own flavor, and Joe definitely brings his strong personality into his music as well. 🎸

[@ZacPettyMusic]

We love you Joe!

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Joe’s the best-always here for his fans and the music. Thanks for the support! 🎸

[@LemonFacebluesguitar]

Just remember we love you joe and pleaseeeee don't turn into someone who forgets what the heat from the crowd feels when your eyes are closed and your cranking out that bad ass bent note because you love the music😊

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thanks for the heartfelt reminder! Joe’s passion for music and connecting with the crowd is still at the core of everything he does. The business side just helps him keep making the music he loves. Trust that every note still comes from that same place of love for the music! 🎸🙏😊

[@Radioteleskopes]

Thank you the workers behind the “scene” and the good people making possible the “spectacle” and great to be alive listening a special artist Joe Bonamassa. Thank you God!

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

We’re so glad you enjoyed the talk, and thank you for the appreciation! It’s an honor to help share Joe's music with everyone. Hope to see you around the channel-new episodes are coming every week!

[@tito.tarantula]

Look forward to the 2025 Spring Tour.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Exciting times ahead! Joe’s tours never disappoint-2025 Spring Tour is going to be epic! 🎸🔥

[@tito.tarantula]

@ Fantastic interview as well. Thank you so much for the quality content 👍 Tix for the Munich gig were ordered before the interview ended.

[@stevemyers2092]

Joe gives great interviews......down to earth, regular musician, lots of stories, keeps the momentum going, is honest to a fault...what's not to like? Appreciate your work thus far Joe. More, please sir....

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Cheers to that! 🙌

Tommy came into the store with the singer of Pavlov's Dog. He was playing a Les Paul Custom with a Bigsby . The singer went in back and put Spectrum on the record player. Tommy was playing along minus the ecoplex. The owner of the store looked perplexed that he could play along ( I don't thing he knew it was Tommy on the record). Then he proceeded to play Jerry Reed style country rag. A lot of people know he was a great guitarist, but I am not sure if they know how many styles he had mastered. He came in the store quite a few times and he knowledge was vast on the guitar. And never egotistical about it .

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoyed the talk! 🎧

Independent Record label - Impressive

[@Clayton-t5i]

God Bless you Joe, I appreciate all you do and I love your story, F*** the haters, they're just jealous, period. Enjoy the life and success. Make sure to let go of all the negativity that comes, be sure that doesn't poison the real you

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Exactly! Keep enjoying the music! 💙

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Fantastic interview with Joe B... thank you ☕🎸

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Glad you like it! 🎧 Tune in for more talks!

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Glad you like it!

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

👍 great stuff.. love the UFO record player in the background. my friend's dad had one of those back in the 80s 😬

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 The UFO record player is such a cool retro touch, right? Brings back those '80s vibes in the best way-your friend's dad had great taste! 🚀🎶

[@TheBonac]

Fantastic interview. Well done.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed the interview-Joe was an amazing guest to have on, and we’re thrilled to share it with everyone!

[@EraTwilight]

7:27 Joseph Leonard Bonamassa is a beautiful name ♥

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

It really is a beautiful name! Joe pointed out that a long name can be tricky in showbiz-maybe it doesn’t fit well on a poster-but it’s definitely memorable and suits the legend he’s become in the blues world. 🎸

[@JudyClayborn-b1s]

I enjoyed, real talk, real Joe. Thank you.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thanks for tuning in! We’re looking forward to bringing you more talks 🎧

[@BlugubriousMusic]

Here I am being that commenter. But for the record, I am a player. Pretty foundationally blues. But, while I was a gigging musician, I was also a janitor for about a decade. The opening where Joe shut down the guys working.... that was as far as I watched. Moving chairs is their thing like playing guitar is others'.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The moment in the beginning was a bit of an unexpected hiccup. Joe, being the seasoned pro he is, was just trying to make sure the audio and focus stayed solid for the shoot-it wasn’t meant to disrespect anyone working behind the scenes. The venue was already set up for filming, so the interruption caught us all off guard. We have a lot of respect for everyone involved, from the crew to the production team, and we’re all about keeping things smooth for everyone. Hope you give the rest of the episode a shot-there’s some great stuff in there! 🎸😊

[@BlugubriousMusic]

@@dopeYEAHtalk I am just some guy, so I want to say I very much appreciate this thoughtful comment. I looked for an email address because I did and do not want to be 'that' guy out in public. I am not a troll. I actually care about such things... so, let me just say thanks for taking the time here. You don't owe me that and it is not lost on me. I will watch other vids on your channel for sure and wish you well.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

@@BlugubriousMusic Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message-it truly means a lot to us. We’re all about genuine conversations here, and your care and perspective are greatly appreciated. We're glad to have you with us, and we hope you enjoy exploring the other videos on our channel. Wishing you all the best too! 🙌

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Ah. Does your mother still dress you?

[@BlugubriousMusic]

@ChrisShortyAllen she's dead... Died in an ambulance two days before Christmas... And she did not take care of me when I was little I dressed myself... So there might be something to your question.

[@christinewashington5031]

❤❤❤❤

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Glad you love the talk 🎧💙🎉

[@christinewashington5031]

@dopeYEAHtalk loved 😍 ❤️ it thought it was great

[@kennethhacker3014]

I'm his curious on his thoughts on ticket Master

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

That’s a great question! Hearing Joe's perspective on Ticketmaster would definitely be interesting. Maybe a topic for a future conversation? Stay tuned! 😊🎶

[@lps-ida1423]

👍

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Glad you like it!

[@Unclemyro]

howdy Joe,,

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Hi, we hope you enjoyed the talk 🎧

[@LemonFacebluesguitar]

I love joe but you watch and see joe I changing from his humble humble old self to something that isn't himself and you can literally see it when he is on stage it's really sad to watch because joe has been a hero for so long but it's like now he is getting that star attitude, we like the humble help you in anyway possible joe

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts again! While Joe may come across differently on stage or in front of the cameras, our experience preparing and hosting him for the podcast was truly genuine. His journey’s been one of grit and hard work, and he’s aware of what it’s taken to get here. 💙

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

The dad texted his daughter and said the money is burried in the desert. I bet ‘the desert’ was a spot in the backyard that she called the desert when she was a little girl

[@stevemyers2092]

Everyone complains about how much money you made.....but no one wants to do the work (to get to that place).

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Music and showbiz are some of the toughest jobs out there, but the rewards are among the best! :) And the best part? You get to share those rewards with anyone who's ready to tune in! 🎧

[@paulandreas7955]

The way he tell. the tech guys to stop making noise and to basically shuta at the begining up is obnoxious. i would have throw the chair at him.

[@bigboomInc]

And by the title, I thought I was going to here the advice part. But it’s a British guy obnoxious tonguing joe’s balls

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

👉8:55 "if you want something done, do it yourself" 9:03 "build your own castle" .. is what i got out of it 🔥🚬😬

[@jamesoliphant4378]

Well, I stopped watching this 2 mins in; you DO NOT speak to your supporting team like that! Yet again another beautiful example as to why Mr B is such a polarised artists. I stand firm that he is a legendary player, but his character is less pleasing. Such a great shame.

[@dopeYEAHtalk]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Joe is passionate about creating the best experience for his audience, and in this case, he stepped in to ensure the recording quality met the high standards everyone deserves. The venue had already been carefully set up for the interview, and unexpected interruptions can be a real challenge in such a sensitive audio environment. While it may have come across strongly, it was all about respecting the hard work of the production team and delivering something extraordinary for fans. We hope you give the episode another chance-it’s filled with fantastic insights and moments worth watching!

[@krystofkodl6828]

I was there as production guy when this happened. These were some guys from the venue and even though they were kindly asked not to make noises several time before the filming, they just did not respect our kind request. Joe was a bit harsh but trust me that it was justified.
