The perfect timeless CLASSIC!!!

Is this really that "Ballad of John Henry?" I really can´t recognize it.

Which one is mostly inspired?

I saw him in Glasgow. Best money spent. In my opinion he is the best guitarist and always gets overlooked on the lists

Very awesome song. Very awesome singer, hits all the Right emotions, Nothing more Needs to be said.

Pink Pop live 2014

Your GOT ROAR ROAR ROAR ROD

It looks like he’s playing a John Petrucci signature Music Man model for the slide part. Of all the signature models out there a John Petrucci model. Thought that was interesting and very cool to see!

Listen to him and Eric Gales play this song - best version yet

Been too long since I heard this song.

This is great music!

Just bought 3 of his CDs and another with Beth Hart. Buying John Henry now on Amazon. Thanks 🙏🏼 Joe
For making our lives happier and more bearable.

I am 17yo and everyone in my college is chilling to George Ezra and I'm just here listening to the most awesome album ever!!!

🌠 Today is the best time for music. THANK YOU very much to JoeB! ❇✨🌠✨❇ :-)

I think of Rockin John Henry every Sunday on 97.5 kmod had the smoke house blues, I was 12yrs old when I first heard it I'm 40 now

Joe you fucking ROCK!!!!!

VERY NICE  TUNE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good riff but the tempo is to slow.

Excellent song, excellent vocal, excellent musicianship. Like the other best songs by Joe Bonamassa I cant stop playing this video!

One of the FATTEST FRIKKING SONGS EVER!!

AWESOME!!!!+

ANOTHER WINNER

Amazing! Omg the instrumentals

Great ty

Love that slide.

👍👍🌟🌟👑🌟🌟👍👍 :-)

Minha favorita.

Love Joe's playing and singing! He's one of the greats.! Great voice and a guitar technique to die for!
Followed BB King Eric Clapton etc for years and only recently 'discovered' Joe. Largely because of him I've gone back to playing Blues-Rock.

Just utter bliss! Bonamassa is pure class🤘🏻

His only fans are middle aged men who have given up on life.

He tries to make himself more interesting by displaying countless amounts of vintage guitars and amps but it just shows how lame and obsessed he is.

For this to be his biggest song says alot about his song writing skills. Say what you want about John Mayer but atleast the guy can write a song. Joe is just a guitar circus act. Not a proper artist.

Comparing this guy to SRV is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree that Joe is a great guitarist but does he have to put on that ridiculous blues voice? It's embarrassing.

to the 139 people who disliked this video your off the Christmas card list.

"Before that steam drill shall beat me down, I'll die with my hammer in my hand." -John Henry

Wow amazing bass

Wasteland 2 intensifies.

Omg that just like that 'thank you' at the end, just like he hasn't just recorded a masterpiece. Love it!

Bro I did not kill John Henry I keep telling you it wasn’t me

Haunting

i have had this album on my computer for years and i have recently discovered it and now i cant get enough .

Awesome job Joe..!

Zeppelin Would be impressed

Wtf with a strat?, baddasss riff, joe bonamassa living legend, i must see him next year !!!!

This song is god awful and super repetitive

Am i the only one that hears Rage Against the Machine in that first riff?

Am I the only person who thinks The Melvins could cover this well?

your life can be mapped out by this mans music.  your the best Joe keep them songs coming

The Drop B tuning makes this song so much heavier than what it would've been! And great singer this guy is btw. Not hating, he's pretty good.
I'd love Metallica to cover this song though

AMAZING!!!!!

Love ya Joe Joe who...? Joe Bonamassa!💖

He is using a John Petrucci signature guitar, nice!

WHO THE HELL ARE THESE COMPLETE IDIOTS THAT GIVE THIS SONG A THUMBS DOWN????
1st: They need The Hammer smacked across their head.
2nd They need to be tied to a chair with Headphones clamped to their Ears with this song cranked to 11 until they submit.
3rd: They need to be Hung.
4th: They need to be Drawn
5th: Thsy need to be Quartered
6th: They need to be TATOOED......On their Tiny, Tiny Penis using Hollowed Out Railroad Spikes filled with INK LACED WITH SALT,
RUBBING ALCOHOL and ARSENIC.......then finally
7th: TORTURED!!!!!

Der Typ is the Hammer !!!!

After all this times I saw this video , Only now I noticed chains as instrument. Lol...awsome

Masterpiece solo

Bad bad bad bad ass

Joe Bonamassa has become my 2nd favorite guitarist of all time, just behind the Reverend Billy Gibbons. This dude is amazing and this one of my favorite of his songs. The live version from Royal Albert Hall is especially ass kicking!

This one's my favorite Joe

2018??????

civilization brought me here...

I just found some of your music. I have to say awesome. Don't know why I haven't heard more about you. Your musical abilities are through the roof. Keep them coming Joe. Looking forward to more from you. A new fan.

Joe, you are a God.

weak cuz no glen, Joe delivers tho

The riff is even heavier than John Henry's hammer. I love it.

African American musician Robert Johnson helped pioneer this style of music you enjoy so much as his work influenced Eric Clapton. John Henry's competition may have merely been a legend, magnified by rumor but your enjoyment of this style of music as a means to posture over the legend of John Henry is ironic.

Been waiting to see this guy, ... a great night for the City of Omaha

This guy is amazing, right up there with SRV

The tuning for this song is B Standard but for the solo is it BADGBe

Wow, If you get the chance to see Bonamassa ,take It. Simply Awesome. The show was sold out, the band was great. Nothing but respect. Rock On man, Rock On........

Tonight in my home town Reading Pa. I get to see one of the most explosive Guitarist I ever heard. I'm in my 60's but tonight more like 20 something. Dig it.

BY BY ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

This is ridiculously awesome :O

This is kickass guys, heard part of it on the radio and had to check it out haha

Where did you hear this on the radio?!!!!

Splendid.

why the song turned to kashmir suddenly

The Best Till today century 21 guitar player.

un maitre trop j admire n ennayant pas peur des mots respect

This corn-flecked white boy should be made to stop calling his crap music "blues."

AMEN / AMEN FOREVERMORE RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

Wow.. What a totally screwed up version...

Hell of a job Joe we have been waiting for you brother I love this mans blues stop hasten on him yall

Love Joe B.  I have seen him in person several times and he never disappoints.  The best there is.  He makes his own path, follows none.
