Oh and tell your boyfriend to get a real job the rockstar thing didnt work out for him ok?

Why do you care? Why should I care? Look the point of this whole thing is that Joe ain't no King of Blues right? Lets just say I would know and you wouldn't believe me if I told you why so back to these album sales... whatever Joe CAN do is squelched by the attitude. And what's up with telling people his hometown is NYC? Obvioulsy Utica is DYING to have someone to talk about.... they still talk about Annette Funicello like the beach movies were yesterday so he should be proud to have all them hillbly uticans rootin for him. Why should he forsake the place for NYC? Aint Utica "bluesey" enough for him? Dont it sound hard knocks enough as it is? LOL!
Look come argue with me in 20 MORE years and a few more sales points that's the journeyman life the boy chose when he could've kept his mouth shut and played with more of the bigboys. Certain people of status dont like name droppers and memories and earshots are very long.

Guess this has hit a nerve with ya pretty bad.You might want to write a BLUES song about it. The king of the blues is thrown around by the media.Are you upset that he makes a living playing music? Which means he has a fan base.Does it kill you that he is metioned with or by fellow (employees) as it were such as B.B. or Danny Gatton ETC....that work in the same feild?
Were is the "TUDE" you talk of ...and for the life of me WHO THE HELL IS THIS GLISS chick?

The reason I asked if you played was you sound like your lacking in expressing yourself with an instrument.Watching and wishing only.WEll.... we got a nice sun rise coming up over the fine DELTA ridge this morning.Pretty mist over the fields. Beleive it or not I got a quiet brown dirt gravel cross road I'm looking at while I am typing on my lap top.I think I will have me a nice glass of ice tea today with a (shot of Klessler's on the side)and bust out the steel resonator and kick me some Elmore James out.I hope I did'nt upset ya and hurt your feeler's and get free rent in your head all day there bubba. "I Live the Life I Love and I Love the Life I Live I hope you that that chip off your shoulder and do the same.....cause if you don't you know!!!! Dat's right! Dat's right .....

<quoted text>Yeah where exactly "IS" So called SMOKIN Joe these days? Not on MTV! "IS" he carrying any #1 hits? NO he "IS" not lol! Gotta luv the utican wannabees! The suck but you can't dare mention it! I guess if I cared about "Who is the best guitar player" from ooootica that's not a hard bunch to top! ALl overrated so that when one does better suddenly you all start calling him KING LMFAO!! KING of oootica guitars wow talk about trying to be the best shoeshiner boy!

NObody's on MTV THESES DAYS DUMBSHIT!

Record sales don't mean SHIT about talent.
The 80's hair band "Poison"
THE "GO-GO's"
Kids stay in school don't comment on things you know nothing about.
And as far as G3 TOURS go talent and music "YES" but a "SEA" of adolescent Black t-shirt wearing men.Oh yeah and of course their DADS that take them to the concert that wish to be on the cover of Guitar Player MAG also. No real diversity there.

Must be the ULTRA slow ride to success I wonder if "smokin" Joe kept his day job? Or does he even have a job?
Prodegy? Nope.(maybe around Utica!)
"Smokin"? Average.
"KING of the Blues"? NEVER! I didn't know upstate ny was considered a good spawning ground for superduper bluesmen. If he was that good he'd be famous by now or did SRV, B.B. King and Clapton wait till they were all 40? Sounds like Joe should be practicing as much time as he spends coming up with great adjectives for himself he is about 40 years behind the times.

Then again, Joe was voted #1 Blues player in the world by Guitar Player Magazine. Joes's day job is counting the millions of dollars he grosses every year !

yup

Millions of pennies you mean. His own dad came on here by name and cleared that fantasy lie up for you. Pay attention.

you must be kidding..try a million 50's..if you only knew.

I really don't care either way because I never heard of him before his groupies started in here but if his Apple sales numbers and the billboard charts are correct and they are he gets the same usual rate he's no "millionaire" for all those years he has been around. Why are the people who never heard of him "sad"? Speak for yourself.

you are just jealous you are a poor ugly human wishing success like Joe. He tours constantly making millions and commanding hundreds of thousands per show I am sure of it, especially now with his new act. Plus he is representing a new high end guitar shop in New Hartford on the side.

WHOO! "PLUS"!! LOL! SOunds like he's in need of the income actually and pretty stupid to start a store in zero expendible income utica where all the wildly famous wanabees guitarists hang out I'm sure you'll say! She's a lot prettier than Joe is lol! He doesn't sell any more than 2 a show average so there goes your imagined millions again. He's not big enough to sell out arenas unless it's some fairy blues festival over 50 crowd, which brings us to his milti bizillionaire guitar business. Ha. Stop being so sad and desperate to paint Joe bigger than any guitarist ever. There's little unknown youtube kids who sell more and actually turn up on national tv. Save your imaginary dreams for Joe! You can't argue with the facts like in the past when he was overrated and blown way out of proportion to what he really is it's too easy to look up. Get over it Joe is too old ugly and unknown to hang your hopes on unless you're from uterus NY. Only there does so little pass for so much to you small sad little people. Now go argue with the facts for a change.

PS "prodigy" denotes youth. Joes like 40+ so there's yet another overhype. He's amiddle aged nobody with marginal following and weird desperate groupies that live in denial claiming the people laugh at the fake billions are "jealous". No idiot we're just looking at the real numbers laughing at people who are so delusional that they actually have to try to pretend people are "jealous" of something few people want. Are you in 4th grade? That's what they teach 4th graders to say to stop their feelings from being hurt when they get teased but usually by 12-14 normal fkn people see the inherant flaws in that childish excuse and move on to handling issues based upon facts. Fact: If he wasn't a nobody he'd be on Leno/Letterman, doing soundtracks and filling stadiums. Start having Joegasms when he does any of those things ok? Until then, sad little man, STFU and accept the reality of it. You uticans are so easily impressed you think Hollywood is on the other side of Sangertown Mall and any success is "big time"! The more you pick at this it the more it just makes you look obsessed with entertainment fame and jealous of those who REALLY know how to sell out the house FOR FKN REAL... not some utican's ridiculous imaginations and pipe dreams.

I'm ugly? Yeah and this Bonamassa old fart is 'famous' then! What am I supposed to be jealous of? He can't get a real record label? Yeah it's burning me up! Save it angry Troll you're making me laugh.
