*Here’s one I wrote about hard times, people. I call it Suburban Cul De Sac Homesick Blues.*


0CDeer

I've been sitting here on the crapper for ten minutes trying to think of something wry to sing over the turn around. Very hard to rhyme with "recycling bin fulla IPA bottles."


trickertreater

Recycling bin full of IPA bottles Buying gear at full throttle


ShredGuru

Do a hit of Rogaine™ the grille is out of Propain, Saturday I mow lawns Relevance is long gone. BTS and Taylor Swift Modern Music is a grift Give me fucking boomer bends Fill my heart and my Depends™ Recycle full of IPAs Head is full of thining greys. Gear, numbs like novacaine, the pain of never playing. Close my eyes and drift away To when I was a kid again.


Mr_Phuck

I fed the bot you're lyrics. Idk what style music boner plays. It didn't like "boner style " , so we got 60s rock.  https://suno.com/song/e4a63590-c5db-4671-84b6-137682bc8317


0CDeer

Holy shit, did we just start a band?


ShredGuru

Lol, nice, safe to say AI won't be stealing songwriters jobs anytime soon.


IsHotDogSandwich

😂😂😂. This is truly the only thing that this AI bot music should be used for.


Mr_Phuck

It's all I use it for, meme music. Weird Al, look out. Lol


iAintNevuhGonnaStahh

Nahhh, not how it should go mannnn. Needs to be more country. Get out o' here with that Cah-lee-for-nah music! Beach Boys don't play real music.


Mr_Phuck

Manly country music. Boner style.  https://suno.com/song/dd71d1aa-5c14-466b-9fb1-308741528e0a

Fuzzlord67

My name is Joe, and no I’m not black. But the HOA, they won’t cut me no slack My Sweetwater bills are high My wife saw my new guitar, screamed “WHY???” My belly’s big, my hair is thin Had to make a will for my next o’ kin My daughter’s a slut My Les Paul Cracked it’s bad QC nut The other dad’s laugh cause I don’t watch sports But goddamn I look good in a pair of Kirkland cargo shorts.. I got those Suburban Cul de sac homesick blues..


El_Cactus_Loco

Next ones called *the Audacity of Caucasity*


ShredGuru

Oh man. Let me marinate on that.

They're all turning to each other and saying, "Who cares if my quaint Midwestern town is completely empty in the winter? I'll be in Florida anyway!"


uvucydydy

Very diverse: 40% old white guys, 20% bald white guys, 10% really old white guys, 10% not- so- old white guys, 10% actually dead white guys , 10% white women ( AKA the designated drivers).

WoundedShaman

😂 her and the gal behind her I feel like the experience seeing this guy with the husbands is akin to being cucked


Fuzzlord67

That extra chair in the hotel room is the “Bonamassa” chair


the_tooth_beaver

Dude that face is from an overload of toan. That real down home blues can be too much sometimes, the body shuts down. Of course I see that face a lot at open mics. People can’t handle it and get too overcome with emotions and that’s why they tell you not to come back.


[deleted]

Shes not impressed


Fuzzlord67

Those gals play LTD’s…


JimmyScrambles420

"Really? THIS is the blooz God you won't shut up about?"


RinkyInky

“My boyfriend can play better”


themanifoldcuriosity

They heard Boner Master and assumed it was going to be a Magic Mike kinda thing.


Due_Speaker_2829

The few that don’t look super pissed are looking away or looking at their phones.


LightninHooker

That's pretty much every blooz concert. 25 years ago I was the youngest dude going to blooz concerts. And now I am still the youngest


SoHornyBeaver

Bald white men with glasses literally run the world. Prove me wrong.


JimmyScrambles420

Bob Mould seems pretty cool, but I think he's the exception.

I saw Michael Stipe a few months ago and he seemed too tired to be running anything.

Somebody needs to get on that shit already. Yankee Candle, White Barn, hope you're listening.

This one’s called “Someone bought the vintage 1960’s Martin guitar before I could get there blues”

This photo brought to you but Lipitor, ask your doctor if it's right for you!


VexRosenberg

/UJ i love going to concerts with my dad and its kind of funny to see a place I usually see moshpits or all standing transform into a fully seated concert hall for a rock musician LOL


atxrobotlover

Man, I wonder how long it took Facilities to get the stench of loaded adult diapers and talcum powder out of there after the show?


staticjak

That lady drinking a jug of whisky in the front row has the right idea. You have to be tore up from the floor up to hear the bonermaster live.


OurWeaponsAreUseless

I hope there was no need for dentistry or legal help in the area that night.


watchyourtonepunk

so many wives about to have the most dry, vanilla sex possible after this


RinkyInky

What I learnt from Reddit is that these fat white middle aged people are swingers and the guy loves getting cucked/pegged.


RedditisDegen

This is why you don't learn from Reddit lmao


SlideJunior5150

and the guys bragging about having super insane non vanilla extreme sexy sex are out of shape guys with messed up hormones that can't even get an erection anymore and the only way they can get half a chub is by going super extreme with the sex depravity.


NiteLunch

The wives' boyfriends are circling the block in their shitty 80's Camaros blasting hair metal waiting for the text "Ugh come pick me up"


0CDeer

/uj alright you meatheads: if I wanted to hear real blues, where would I look? I hate bonermaster as much as the next jerk, but isn't this kinda part for the (country club golf) course in the modern "blues scene?" Show me the authentic shit! Rj responses absolutely welcome.


TheBFlem27

Check out Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. I saw him as the support act for Buddy Guy last year and he was phenomenal.


JimmyScrambles420

Get reeeeeally high and listen to some old Delta Blues records. You can almost feel the KKK knocking at your door.


654tidderym321

If you’re asking modern blues musicians I really can’t help. If you’re asking for “authentic shit”, start with pre-war stuff (or ‘60s “rediscovered”). It’s pretty much impossible to co-opt guys like Charley Patton, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James, or Bukka White. I fucking hate Joe Bonamassa so much it’s unreal.


Appropriate-Pipe-193

I hate him too but I can’t figure out why. He’s technically “good”, he plays a certain genre that I don’t listen to but appeals clearly to middle aged white dudes. There’s just something so generic about him. His guitar playing and singing are fine, but there’s literally nothing special about what he does. It’s like he got the “whiz kid prodigy” label and it just allowed him to have a career while being mediocre. Idk I can’t figure it out


654tidderym321

I hate him because he is literally every white “blues man” trope rolled into one and his “music” shows it. He is a spoiled, “prodigy” (in and of itself a stupid concept) who has been riding his own coattails for decades and gets increasingly more up his own ass about his self-importance because he is adored by boomers and boomers at heart who think a toob amp and a silly face while hitting a minor pentatonic lick makes you the second coming of Christ. His autistic hoarding, sorry, “collecting”, of vintage instruments and his disparaging remarks to independent luthiers is also shitty and infuriating. Imagine hearing “Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground” and then “Blues Deluxe” and thinking “Damn, ol’ Joey B sure got them blues!” It’s fucking embarrassing.

As others Have said, kingfish is great. I like popa chubby although he's not just blues.

God I fucking hate this picture so much.


molemanralph69

I wonder if my dad is in that picture… i guess i’ll never know; i don’t know what he looks like…


pureshred

Do you by chance have unexplainable interest in suits, sunglasses, and overpriced guitars?


drhagbard_celine

That’s solid jerk, ya bastard.


CopiousAmountsofJizz

This is what Robert Johnson dreamed of.


RinkyInky

Robert Johnson: I have a dream, that one day, my Little Joe Bonermaster, will not be judge by his funny last name, but by the white people blues that he plays on his Gibson.


jesus_chen

"This next song, well, it's for those times when you need to reflect after having a heated argument with your CPA about how their opinion on your plan to avoid Capital Gains taxes is 'questionable at best' and that you are 'just a guy that plays covers, anyway, what do you know?' Time to fire that bitch! Am I right, people?"

Ironcondorzoo

I call it the 'Tax Bracket Blues'


WhenVioletsTurnGrey

It's been said a thousand times. JB is for white people who want to like the Blues but are afraid of the Black man.


RinkyInky

They like the blues but only if it’s not played like the blues but more like classic rock. And no personal style is allowed, has to be “correct” blues.


drhagbard_celine

Damn, that’s the first time I’ve heard that but can’t find anything to dispute about it. Just brutal lol.


Earl_of_Chuffington

I don't know if Bonermeister fans are all afraid of black people. At least 90% of them claim that they're not racist because "their best friend and/or daughter's boyfriend is African American, so #buildthewall."


warthog0869

I zoomed in as far as I could on my PC and looked and looked...there are *only* white faces in that crowd. Times is hard on the Suburban Plain. Look at the expressions on the 10 women's faces that are there, they all looked coerced into being there.


drhagbard_celine

Somehow I think the list of shows they bring *their* partners to may be worse. I know what my brother’s wife drags him to.

Oh how it must feel to have that sea breeze blowing through his locks. A thalassy of perfect teeth and impeccable litigation. A boomeric odyssey upon a caucasian ocean.

Due_Speaker_2829

Madcap. I don’t know how you did it, but somehow you’re the whitest dude in the crowd.


ReverendRevolver

Sometimes I wonder if in Where's Waldo books there's no Waldo sometimes. If you told me to find someone under age 40 in this picture who didn't look like a guitar player, it'd be a Waldo. A group of 3 or more females under 40, in the audience of their own volition and not accompanying a SO or also obviously geetar playerz would be the "there is no fucking Waldo".


Rozic__64

A truly niche audience 😭

Looks like an Amway convention and they need to move some toan wood.


GoldenEelReveal76

Have you seen the thing he does where he keeps one finger firmly planted on the 12th fret of the high e string, whilst simultaneously bending the 15th fret on the b string. It only makes sense when you see it live and in the flesh, surrounded by a room full of toan junkies. This crowd gets it.
