Dirty Honey kicks ass. It's not the most original, but it fills a huge void in good-time guitar driven rock done expertly and with balls and passion. The more recent stuff is great, too.

When I was a teenager back in the seventies whatever I put on my turntable was "The screaming abdabs" according to my father whether it was Purple,Zeppelin,Sabbath,Yes or Floyd lol.

[@geraldbyrne2146]

Parents are funny when it comes to their kid's music. I remember leaving the house to go see David Gilmour on a solo tour in the early to mid 80's, when my mom stopped me and asked "who are you going to see?". I replied, "you wouldn't know". She then said, "I might". I told her "David Gilmour". Her response, "that's nice". Funny thing is that the same is probably true now between my generation (late boomers) and Gen Z! Life repeats itself, doesn't it!

[@smelltheglove2038]

Man, I wish things were that wholesome again. People always make fun of me and say things like, “so you want to go back to the 50s?” No, how about the 90s?

[@davidbakerscuba]

I saw Dirty Honey here in Orlando a few months ago. They were absolutely fantastic. John Notto is a killer guitar player. They recently toured Europe playing with Rival Sons. That show would be about as good as it gets for current rock.

[@Mr.PicoBoulevard]

I was there

[@moorgateacousticssheffield9260]

It was. I did three shows!

[@juliepetersen7974]

I’m a huge Dirty Honey fan from the beginning. I’ve seen them live three times now, all fantastic, high-energy shows! Marc has the right amount of charisma to draw you in, without ever coming off as unapproachable and ‘rock royalty elitist.’ He’s often in the audience now when he sings “Another Last Time,” which is just a fun, sexy, old school sounding good time…held my hand and sang right to me in September! This band makes me feel young again (I’m 51), and really that’s what I want in my music these days!💃🏻

[@luncansmusicstudio3491]

Yes, I feel at least ten years younger when I hear them. I' m soon 67 years old, but still a rocker!

[@MarronChaplin]

Intro riff: AC/DC “Rocknroll Ain’t Noise Pollution.” 2nd chord change: Clapton “if I could change the world.” Riff rock bit: Aerosmith “Love in an Elevator” (verse riff)

[@Zhylar]

[@randelmatt]

Yes!

[@brentrothenberg2917]

[@CasualWatcher279]

I wonder why they're treated different to Greta Van Fleet. Feels like they're not held as suseptable to the same criticisms (Not that I think either of them should be)

[@MarronChaplin]

@@CasualWatcher279 think it’s because you can hear the influences very clearly, and that’s great, but GVF straight rip off Led Zep shamelessly and then claim that Aerosmith is their biggest influence.

[@book3100]

Even jazz evolves, and ppl still love the standards. Rock is no different. Things rise and fall, nothing really goes away.

[@Lee-vp8vs]

Ive seen Dirty Honey twice now (first time supporting Rival Sons, second time headlining). Brilliant live. Loved this breakdown of the influences. Their entire vibe is like a late 80s LA scene rock. If they were out 30 yeara ago they would have possibly been kicking it with the big boys then. Definitely recommend them live if you can see them.

[@xplaguefatherx]

What i love most about these videos, is that you really get some insight into how incredible a musician Justin is. A true talent

No genre is ever "dead" as long as it's being performed somewhere. Great stuff as always, Justin.

[@ChrsGuit]

I agree to a point... then again, a dead horse getting beaten is still dead, nonetheless...

[@afterdinnercreations936]

No, but it also doesn't evolve and starts to stagnate.

[@ChrsGuit]

@@afterdinnercreations936 Absolutely... Sadder still, it becomes formulaic and gets ran into the ground. Look at mainstream "rock" music today... It's the same crap as the Nickelback, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd" crap that was on the radio when I was in high school 20 years ago... Worse still, look at "country" music today. It's basically the same as that 2000's "booty rock" mixed with 20 year old hip hop... Just generic fodder for the lowest common denominator... People keep buying it and eating it up like chicken nuggets from McDonald's... They suck, but it's cheap, easy, convenient, and requires the least amount if effort to produce, sell, and consume by all parties involved.

[@SoundBuckle]

​@@ChrsGuit yes, but music becomes 'mainstream' because it's popular and in demand, and because of that it's reproduced, and therefore recognisable (and perhaps boring to musicians). All music is formulaic - time signatures and keys determine that. Also, guitars and the broader music track are only part of song. Plenty of brilliant songs have very simple music, with impactful lyrics. A good songs blends all elements, often each very simple in their own right.

[@JumboJimbo015]

Like they say “Western Swing ain’t dead it’s just ‘Aslweep At At The Wheel’”.

[@rickyflip22]

I love this band. I always describe them as if Led Zep and ACDC had a love child that started playing Aerosmith songs. Coming to the UK in January!

[@jeffdurall8353]

I was a teenager in the 70's and 80's and grew up, in my opinion, during the best time for music. I had all but given up on music years ago then stumbled into these guys recently. I will admit, they give me hope that rock isn't dead. Vocals are amazing.

[@user-ho5vz5tg3r]

You are absolutely right about the best Music Era and these guys fit right in. I heard Rolling 7's and was like yes!

[@andrewhess2978]

My favorite hard rock band to come around in a long time. I tend to describe them to others in terms of early Aerosmith, GnR, and AC/DC. Caught them twice opening for Guns this year and excited to catch them in their own in February.

[@bobbafett1849]

They opened for SMKAC before the pandemic and rocked out. Id say Slash knows guitar rock band talent as well as anyone

[@aprilkurtz1589]

Justin, you have a really, really great ear. I'm so freaking envious. There are uncountable numbers of kids in uncountable garages and basements making rock music. Rock is *not* dead. My impression of Dirty Honey is that they're great musicians with a wide range of influences. The first thing I thought of when I heard them is that there is a definite 'Southern Boogie' thing going on. The lyrics are not the strong point at this time, but the chops are there.

[@johnsenior2566]

Thanks Justin. Saw Dirty Honey support Black Crowes a month ago. And I agree with your, as ever piercing, erudite analysis. I am quite nostalgic for what they are using as 'building blocks' and at first thought they were a bit of a pastiche band, but in the end they won me over and I think they are building something of stand-alone value. Cheers for your brilliant insightful content Justin.

Discovered these guys last year and can’t get enough of them. They have enough musically to be different from their predecessors but Justin is right. If they want staying power they need to diversify lyrically or musically. Another Last Time and Rolling Sevens are my favourites. California Dreaming is also good.

My nephews love this band!!! They are musicians in Southern California (UNSUNG) and are my window to what “the kids” are listening to…they are quite amazing musicians and are 15 & 16 and already opening for bands at The Whisky A Go Go!!!

Hawkins Tribute show and I now have him and Coy (Lead Guitar) listening to your channel… They have some original music on Apple/Spotify etc., maybe you could check them out… I know I’m biased, but I really think they’re going to be BIG!!!!

Glad you are featuring Dirty Honey. I saw them back in April at a small outdoor venue. They are a great band. I have been aware of their guitarist, John Notto, for quite some time because he used to be in Haley Reinhart's band a number of years ago. Marc LaBelle is a great vocalist as well. Well worth the ticket price around $25. Mammoth WVH was supposed to be on the bill as well but had to cancel due to Covid. Turn out was a bit sparse. I am glad I saw them. Absolutely support these guys. Naked Gypsy Queens, a very young rock band out of Nashville, opened for them. I enjoyed them as well.

Unlike most "old folks" my age, I don't want new versions of the old stuff.

The live version of Rolling 7s at the Troubadour is outstanding.

[@whitey6433]

I saw them a few months ago, they put on such a GREAT fucking show!!

[@jezjukes]

Morrison, Plant, Weiland, Cornell and others. If it ain't broke.... As Justin says though, it doesn't mean new stuff can't exist too, without people looking down their noses. If you like it, listen to it.

Man 90’s we’re the best, grunge was such unique good rock. There hasn’t been a single band since that’s done that sound the way all these bands are doing 70’s and 80’s

[@trebreh1100]

Dude your understanding of music is amazing.

[@barringtonthelast]

The opening riff sounds like "don't believe a word" by Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy to me.

[@edwardgensheimer6640]

Cant get enough of your perspective, knowledge and humor. This is great.

[@gbluesrocker]

I think the Darkness, Rival Sons and Dirty Honey would make a lovely tour!

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Yes, Rival Sons is worth checking out if you haven't.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Yes!

[@BrettRobinson-u6t]

Dirty honey is the best band I’ve seen in a long time! We need more bands like them. Their recent opener the band Feel rocks too!

I am one of the fortunate to have been a kid in the seventies. Little did we know that the music on our FM stations in the mid to late years of that decade, was from a few years prior. All of these amazing "new" bands had been making records long before they got heavy airplay and sold out arenas. The foundation of rock - there are only so many riffs and melodies and everything is somewhat derivative of what came before. Every now and then an artist conjures up a recipe of notes, arrangements, musicianship, imagination ...combines just the right elements to produce something fresh and timeless. Dirty Honey has a good sound but nothing new or enduring in this tune.

[@darrenedwards9562]

Its pretty predictable stuff - nothing i can't get from an old AC/DC or Aerosmith song. Yes theyre good musicians, but I'm bored.

[@GizzyDillespee]

It's traditional blues

[@tracywilliamson4275]

I totally agree. It was boring and derivative.

[@bobbafett1849]

Lol at least they play instruments and not claim to "make music" with drum machines and a laptop with a program

[@bobbafett1849]

@@GizzyDillespee all rock music came from blues
