I know a lot of people don’t care about the Dead, but John has done an incredible with the current incarnation of the band (Dead & Co.). He went in with an open mind and ended up really getting into it, and he’s done a tremendous job. He literally learned like 100 new songs, most of which are altered/improvised to be different each show. He was humble and went into it as the new kid in the group, and not like some hotshot young guitarist (which he is of course) that was going to have the spotilight.

my opinion of him has changed a lot over the past 5 years or so. I’ve always respected his ability because he’s damn good, but now I actually like him.
He frequently joins Sammy Hagar, on stage, for live performances on Hagar's show 'rock n roll road trip'
Doesn't speak much, but he absolutely tears it up onstage.

Did an absolutely ridiculous solo on Melissa Etheridge's 'take another piece of my heart'

I haven’t seen any of that, I’ll look it up on the YouTubes.

He really is a super talented player, and appears to be quite diverse.

When it comes to the three Kings, Albert was always my favorite. Followed by Freddie and then BB.

and I don’t say that to disagree with your comment, or to disparage BB. They were all awesome, that’s just my personal taste.
John Lee Hooker gets no love

Holy fuck at that GoT vid- I had no idea B.Paisley could shred like that. WTF is he doing in auto insurance commercials.
Dude. Paisley is a BEAST.
I don't listen to a ton of his music, but even on some of his radio hits I'll hear a lick and I'm like "Woh. What the fuck was that?"

I love that GoT clip because even Nuno was like "Duuuuude!" when Paisley nailed it.

Had to look into Brad Paisley. Holy shit guy can shred! Not just another generic country star. Respect!

I wish they'd sell some of the Dead and Co stuff on vinyl.
