Say what you will about Joe and many do, he has a deep and genuine appreciation for those that came before him and the history of music in general.

What kind of person hates a guy like Joe? A down to earth and a marvelous artist.

[@iancarr8682]

Danny Kirwan never gets mentioned. Another important part of the band.

"So young when he died"?? He died at 73 in 2020.

[@Crimepaysaskapolitician]

When he's wearing his ball cap, he doesn't have his toupee on.

[@SGspecial84]

Uh Joe, Peter Green died at 74 years old. That is not young by any standard.

[@petermiller3774]

Dear Joe you forgot Danny Kirwan

[@greenmanalishi6963]

I wish Joe would mention the late Danny Kirwan aswell

[@lunarmist428]

Danny Kirwan was a major part of that too.

[@petermiller3774]

BB was talking about Danny and made the mistake by saying Peter said so himself

So great to hear accomplished guitarists pay respect to the Green master, thus keeping his memory alive. In his prime, Peter was a young man with old blues hands, that shows mastery.

"As long as it works and its loud." No truer sentence has been spoken in all of music! Thank you Joe.

[@billprange4639]

Such humility, and respect for those who paved the road of the blues in the 60's

Joe is a super nice guy, his knowledge of guitars and guitarists is amazing he literally lives and breaths guitars, musicians and great music!!!! Keep doing what you do Joe🎸👍

Peter’s my favourite player. I usually hate the ‘Who’s your favourite?’ questions, But Greeny immediately comes to my mind if I’m asked.

On the topic that Joe mentioned that Peter died early, I think Joe meant his creativity died because of the mental problems and the damage the LSD did to him leading up to 1970, I'm glad Peter was happy and had managed to live his last few years enjoying playing again (he loved going fishing just as much) I saw Peter many times in his later groups, though he hardly played guitar whenever I saw him, his voice stil sent shivers down my spine but he seemed to leave the solo playing to his other guitarists, (nowhere near what Peter could play like in his prime) the few times he would move his hands as if he was going to play a wonderful flurry just never happened whenever I saw him. A wonderful legacy and a lovely gentle person are the memories I have of him.

I met Joe in a restaurant in Turkey last year. What a great humble man. Thank you Joe. Next time lunch on me.

Lots of respect for Joe Bonamassa because he studied each great guitarist. Their sound their nuances the tone.

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous fabulous Joe. Your obvious respect for Peter Green is fascinating, given your skill set.

I saw Fleetwood Mack in the late sixties at the Marquee Club - phenomenal...
