Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ok, like the band a lot, but here's the thing.Joe B's tone gets worse & worse as the years go bye. Yes, he is a great player, with tasty chops, but his sound gets thinner & worse with every year. I miss the days when he was on drugs, had long hair, and was playing the strat, dreaming that he was Robin Trower. Check out some of the Live at Rockplast video & you will see what I mean. I would post some, but i am at work & can't get on YouTube. Just curious, but have you actually seen him live lately? I saw him about 8 months ago, and his tone was {censored}ing God-like. The absolute apotheosis of Les Paul/Marshall goodness. I mean, I know it's all subjective and all, but generally, Joe's thought of as having pretty goddamn killer tone. I know I've seen him something like 11 or 12 times now, and his tone has been spectacular every single time. To each his own, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying his tone on the Rockplast video was thick & full of "Trower-ey" goodness with a hint of Gary Moore.. Not so much now days. each album/tour he seems to loose edge and thickness. Just sayin....The rest of the band is aces. Mr Hughes sounds as amazing as ever, and li'l Bonzo is kickin it. On the other hand, who could you get to play that would fit in with these guys other than Joe B ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I saw him last march and I think his tone was best live guitar tone I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted November 13, 2011 Members Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've turned a BUNCH of people onto this band with the dvd, even some of my old-school musician buddies (guys in their 50s & 60s) were {censored}ing blown away by it! No matter what else they do on the side, they have to keep this band going, it's just too good not to, and nobody else is playing straight-up, GREAT 70s-style arena rock the way these guys do. They're freakin' Led Purple! I'm amazed by the apparently ageless Glenn Hughes, at 60 years old, the guy's voice is better than ever, and the guy's a badass rock bassist & frontman to boot! BCC is pretty much at the top of my must-see concert list right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
