Joe....I've got 3 of them....bonamossa.
Joe.... i’ve got three burst, and three V’s.... bonamassa
Joe Have you tried DMT Rogan.... Whoops, wrong channel.
@@yourface3154 epic comment
@Spreading Positivity no, he has 7 bursts.
There’s one in Missouri, belongs to an old RnB player. He lives in a trailer, hanging on to it. A few collectors know about him.
Geez. What part of MO? Im based here in the Show Me state.
My buddy is remaking one to look like a beat to hell version but he tells everyone it's a replica and it's painted in Chevy hugger orange
As if
Norm is like that grandfather that always tells the same stories over and over. Been watching a lot of these videos the last few days and I've heard Norm tell that playing a vintage guitar in the rain story like 10 times already.😂
the best thing about Norm’s is that he is as nice to the regular guy as he is to rockstars. he is really great and friendly to everyone. he genuinely wants to get you connected with an instrument that makes you happy for a lifetime. i love that shop.
100%. Wonderful person.
Because you never know when one of us might become a rock star :)
Kidding. He seems like a good dude
If I could play those 6 notes (towards end of video) and make them sound like that, I would die a happy man. But seriously - I met Joe in the Vintage Room of GC Hollywood in 2010. He chatted with everyone shopping there like he knew us all. Even complimented me on the sound of the 60's ES-330 I was playing. I couldn't afford to buy it, but I still smile when I think about that day. The man could not have been nicer.
Pal you totatlly can! Start with a nice amp! ANd practice, you will be a cool bluesman in no time
Saw BB play several songs in pouring rain and lightening; the man would not stop. I think it was 1994 in Miami. His crew literally had to drag him off the stage with a standing ovation.. Mr King. raised you well Joe, He said the same thing as you. " you folks came to here me play and thats what I am going to do."
*fans of the show complaining that Norm calls everyone his buddy in the videos*
Joe Bonamassa: I perpetuate the myth that Norm is my Uncle.
I'll bet if I went to Tarzana and bought a guitar from Norm I'd be his buddy, too.
I guarantee you that if I was spending as much money as Joe he'd be my 'best friend' or 'greatest guitarist playing...(insert name of the day) buddy ever' 'blah blah blah bullshit I made a fortune of SRV dying by selling his brothers guitar' - how can you fan boys be so blind?
@@mrtambourineman6107 meh, just seems like another completely arbitrary thing your lot enjoys getting upset over. Also, not a fanboy, I just appreciate free content when it's available, especially when it's guitar related. Norm is a nice guy, that's all.
@@mrtambourineman6107 you seem to need a hug.
@@mrtambourineman6107 Name checks out
My friend's cousin has one, it has a repaired headstock break (probably repaired by Eric Schulte back in the day). His Dad originally bought it at McCoys Music in Norristown, Pa. It had been sitting there, no one wanted it.
Joe's a real Gentleman and if not the best, one of the best musicians to ever come out of Central NY. He's 100% for sure one of the very best guitar players in the whole wide world, BAR NONE! From one Central New Yorker to another, many thanks for all of the great hours of entertainment you've given us Joe, to me your the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time and being in my 60's I've seen almost ALL of the greats and your my favorite. Thanks Joe and keep up the great work!
Here on YT I really enjoy watching Joe come into Norms and talking shop then I put the cherry on the top and then watch him jam at the Baked Potato. Really raw, firey stuff. Best ever!
GOAT....rip SRV....Joe has been my favorite guitar player for the last 15 years what an awesome talent
Norm really doesn't want us to forget that he's friends with Joe.
Can't blame him
Too funny. Too true
They tend to use each other quite well.
@@johnfritz15 Like Ali and Cossell.
Just being a nice guy
Man, V's are meant for snow. They're the Viking of guitars!
Each time I watch this, the last 3 seconds gets me...authenticity. “I’nt that COOL?” True nerd.
“In’at cool?”
Right there, at the end, proud to show off his safari kill, priceless!
Thank you for sharing guys!
What a treat, love seeing Joe
Thanks so much, Norm. It’s always great to see you host a visit with Joe Bonamassa. He’s a great guy and a great musician and you are, too. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
I give him credit for bringing that outside of padded room in a place unknown. AND letting somebody hold it standing up.
Thanks Joe for sharing!
Joe’s such a great guy, incredible guitar player!
He played for 5 seconds only but.... WHAT A TONE OH MY GOOOD I WANNA DIE THATS PERFECT
You can tell the job does wear joe out but still manages thats the passion inside burning strong love it thank you for being such a fantastic social presence norm you bring so much to light throughout all these videos including the older ones with Mark when he was working at the shop!
Flying V's 4ever!
=th-cam.com/video/DL2WLLclvTM/w-d-xo.html
I love Joe. Any fan of Paul Kossoff is a hero in my book. Respect 🎸
Met joe in va. at a early days show of his when he had a 3 piece band.sensational then also..
Still humble and willing to answer questions about the gear and many guitars he was playing.
Joe B, don't ever forget Lonnie Mack, he was a wizard on his several Flying Vs.(as are you)!
Not to mention his rare Gibson Explorer, that he used prior to buying the 7th Gibson Flying V made in 1958.
Joe seems like such a normal guy, but when he's on stage a total boss! Looks like that V's been sitting in it's case for a long time before it found Joe, hope it finds a good home!
Boss my punkass!
That’s because he’s dressed like a casual person with a hoody and normal clothes. On stage when he wears his jumpsuits and boots it’s different
I certainly enjoy seeing Joe and Norm talk about guitars.
His dad's store was called Bank Place Guitars. In my hometown. I saw his dad not long ago.
Joe is just great. So is Norm! Happy to watch this
Always great to see Joe at his "home away from home" with UNCLE Norm! Thanks all and you Jen!
Speaking of how Joe Bonamassa is as a person.... My wife and I saw him at the Ryman last year. Well into the show, a great show, he needed a sip, so signaled for a drink. One of the crew took him a diet coke, he opened it and took a sip, then put the cap back on it and sat it down. Sometime later, he wanted another sip. When he reached for the bottle sitting on the riser behind him, he knocked it over, so that when he did get it and loosened the cap, it sprayed him down. He wiped his coat and guitar with his towel, and continued the show. After the show and after the bows, everyone was leaving the stage.Joe walked over to the riser, picked up his towel and cleaned up the coke from the riser and the stage.... I told my wife "this really speaks to what kind of person Joe Bonamassa really is"... I still think about that everytime I see some "star" with their entitled "better than you" attitude....thank you Joe Bonamassa..
My friend Joe P, who was a photographer for Palm Springs Life Magazine, had a 1958 Gibson Flying V.
He acquired it from a kid that did not know what he had but wanted something more like a Telecaster
or a Strat. He traded Joe and the rest is history. Joe did some research and found out his Flying V was
the 11th V produced that year.
WOW, that one was the fourth one made, right after Lonnie Mack's number 007!
The days of coming across a guitar that the owner isn't aware of it's worth is pretty much over thanks to the internet. But talk about a lucky find! One of the rarest guitars ever made. 200 originals and best accounts is that around only 80 or 90 survive today or are known currently. Man to find one of those original '58 V's or Explorer's would be like a dream!!
"Im a working musician I'm so blessed to be fortunate enough to be around these guitars and have one"...er....3 of them. Haha
Being joe bonnamassa must make it a little easier as a collector. Aside from the money to buy those expensive items. But just in terms of acquiring them. If I had a 59 burst or something of that nature and was ready to part with it. I know that I would feel a lot better about selling it to joe because
#1-he’s joe bonnamassa
#2-you know it’s definitely going to a good place.
#3-id get to say that I sold my guitar to joe bonnamassa!
Always enjoy seeing Uncle Norm. & Joe B. Nephew together. 🎸🎸
Oh my goodness. That thing sounds so freaking amazing!!! Love the 50's V's and Explorers in Korina.
How fortunate he is to own several super rare, super cool guitars.
Congrats Joe ! Thanks Jen and Norm !
Joe baby, that’s my 58 V. Hey just get it back to me in the next few days and we be cool. just JOE KING!
Thank you for this! That Flying V is a real treat to see and hear.
Thank you Norm and Joe. I needed that
I have been fortunate to meet JB. a few times.. Total Class Act..
Nothing I like better than watching a down to earth musician play...! Love your videos Norm...!
I saw Joe when he was a young ladd at Redcreek in Rochester,ny (Herietta) and I remember my ex father in law saying, why does he have to play so loud.LOL I loved it but haven't had the chance to see him as an adult. I will somehow.
Lou Graham is gonna be in Rochester this month for a few signings Barnes and Noble and a few other places I can't remember guys gettin up there so better see him while you still can
One of these days I want to be on the Blues Cruise
BeardedBlues Dude
Same here!
Joe the best guy in the business … and a real guitarrist guitarrist
Wow, in 1958 that was at least 3 months rent. Buying one was not easy! Thanks, that was great! I'll get over to Norms some day...
Joe's a real world class player! Big big blues guy and I like it!
I love the Albert king tones!!! 😎
Joe is great and very humble - great Guy!
The best interviews!!
Am I crazy or did I see a post Joe made a few months ago on Instagram about taking a break from buying new guitars? Joe if you're reading this you obviously have a problem. I'll hang on to the V for you while you're in recovery.
Joe, Garry, SRV...great blues players!
I love these guys
Thank you.
Can still see that 12 year old virtuoso every once in a while
I just saw Joe in Saint Augustine a couple of weeks ago. It was the best I’ve ever heard him play or sing. It would really be a great show for him to release, it was fantastic in every way.
Thanks Joe for reminding that you are also italian , Italia loves you !
Joe rocks! Thanks Joe, 'n Uncle Norm, :)
I like the last words when the camera is turning off - to Norm (Like a kid) Isn't that cool? Yea Joe, it's pretty cool! Thanks Joe and Jen and Norm...
That was Great! Thanks Norm!
Really liked the part about how Joe kept playing in the mist to give his audience their money's worth (so long as he didn't get zapped!). I actually had a similar experience, you guys would laugh - - The only time I ever had a gig a partner and I got through an agent. My so-called partner never made it clear to me exactly what role I was to play. He just wanted to keep me in the background without any thought for what I could contribute to the whole of it. The gig was at a university. It was a special evening, we had been billed, the whole 9 yards. While on stage I realized the people had paid good money for some entertainment and I didn't want to let them down. I backed him up for a couple of tunes then it was starting to get boring. I had an opportunity to have more of an exchange with the audience, so I improvised a little instead of just hanging in the background. I was trying to work with him and have a little fun with both him and the audience, but he did not like it. I honestly didn't mean anything badly, was just trying to give the audience their money's worth. The audience loved it! But not my partner. Oh well - lol! Looking back now I still laugh. I know the audience at that gig still does, too, and no one regrets having paid too much for a lackluster evening.
Fascinating And Very Entertaining Thank You Joe and Norman.
Gotta love Joe. A righteous dude indeed.
Awesome Flying V.
I wish to be this sharp in this age, like Norm is. Dude is amazing!
Is the towel in the case with the V to wipe up the drool ?...oh baby what a beauty ! Thanks Peoples
Love it had a 76 explorer remake. Never see a modern, but played a 52 gold top.
classic and superb video.
LOL! I'm 63 and feeling mighty old. 😂😀🤣
I got to meet Joe asked him guitar questions he could not have been nicer.
I was at a private party here in Houston years ago where Johnny Johnson was playing. He had just re-recorded a bunch of songs he had written to play with Chuck Berry. He recorded them sell as his own. Dave Masala and Bill Peek also recorded and played at this party. Bill Peek had a 1966 flying V that was all original and it was gorgeous. So yall know, Peek was on the Hotlegs album playing for Rod Stewart. He and Masala had also played with chuck berry as his band.
Beautiful
Just to think that thing was for sale just around the corner from me in 1978. Dammit!
Joe is definitely THE guy - love him !
That's sick! Don't have an electric but I'd probably go Les Paul Custom but that V is a flying fun revelation.
Great show 👏
Love when Joe visits his uncle. 👍
Rock On Joe & Norm Peace
Joe is an amazing player and an amazing collector. Would love to see a whole tour of his collection. Guitars, amps, pedals, and all the other goods!
Is this a original 1958 or a reissue ??
Hello Joe , this is Rick Nielson, do you have a minute? I hope the next generation has the same appreciation as these two generations.
In case nobody said it in the comments, the sound that thing unplugged made!🤤
Norns rare guitars is the best
I still remember when Joe made that double white guard V SCREAM at the Greek...!
Jonny Beck
HEY!
YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES
@@GuitarlosCarlos Yeah and I never could find where you were playin' but sometimes with the bleeding internet I ain't the sharpest knife in the gosh dam drawer...
@@GuitarlosCarlos I'm in K'town
@@GuitarlosCarlos "But he never returned, no he never returned" la la etc.
Absolutely does that thing
Lost one in the city of Boston Ma in an equipment truck break-in 1984 or so. Also taken was a vintage cherry sunburst Les Paul. Both heartbreaking losses.
King biscuit of flower mountain!
I remember seeing him play at MVCC and i have his "Bloodline" album
Awsome Geetar love a V.🤘
J.B. - the Working Man 💪👍💪
I have been 25 for the past 27 years. You’re old Norm!
Norm has such great stock 😊
You can tell Joe didn't want to be there, much less play.. Gotta give the guy credit, he does so much for his fans.. Always be you Joe
A few years ago when Joe played the Hammersmith Apollo (Odeon to you and me), I met two of his crew who drove the trucks and operated the spots. They said what a nice, down to earth fella Joe was, I think this comes across in videos like this.
Holy crap dude! That thing sounds AWESOME! 🎸👍☮️🌞
Joe is the man!
At least Joe can play . . . unlike many collectors.
Joe is awesome he deserves that guitar...
Phenomenal.
