Topic: Gary Moore on Bonamassa
Just got my copy of Guitarist Magazine, Gary Moore was on the cover and it had an interview with him about his latest album. At one point Gary is asked about what he thinks about joe, he answers:
' I think everyone latched on to him a bit too much and they've put a lot of pressure on him. You can't be a blues legend at that age for a start, and I think the lad's getting a bit overblown. I've spoken to him about it and told him off for playing too many styles. You know, if you want to be a blues artist, be a blues artist, stop playing Yes songs and Indian songs, and doing a bit of Derek Trucks and a bit of me. he has a lot of influences but I think he's still got to find his own voice really. I think he has to focus on one thing, but I don't want to be derogatory. He's a really great guy and he is going to be really, really good.'
I like Gary Moore and his playing but....
