I don't think Joe took it any… Joe wasn't really offended by it, and he was also gentlemanly in his response. I just thought he was overreacting, really, and I said that, and the Internet picked it up and went with it, which is fine. I've got no beef with Joe, and as I said in what I said to him, he's one of the best guitar players on the planet.

Asked if there was anything he wanted to say about the episode, Richie said: "It's one of those things where I think the Internet blows it out of proportion… I met Joe a couple of times. What's the issue?"įaulkner spoke about his Twitter exchange with Bonamassa during a new interview with Tone-Talk. You 'do something for fun' and it's seen thousands of times with a vast majority of positive comments and you slag it off. Richie added: "You're right, think of all the guitar players that work for years and can only dream of ANY kind of exposure. Maybe the site also had fun doing what they do the same way you did. "Everyone judges, good and bad and at the core of all this, it's just people giving their opinions on one of the greatest players on the planet today. "Calm down joe and stop acting like a spoilt tit," he wrote. promote an unknown player that could use the exposure."Ī few hours after Joe's tweet made the rounds, Faulkner took to the social media platform to offer his two cents.

now it's on your site to be rated by some bullshit number system. In response, Bonamassa posted a link to the story and included the following message: "What's going on fellas? Slow news day? I did this for fun and had fun doing it. This led to an Ultimate Guitar article headlined "Watch Joe Bonamassa Play Shred Metal on Unexpected Guitar," which received several comments from people criticizing Joe's performance. The online exchange started when Bonamassa shared a brief video of him playing some shredding metal licks and riffs on an electric Steinberg six-string. JUDAS PRIEST's Richie Faulkner says that his supposed Twitter "feud" with Joe Bonamassa was blown out of proportion.įaulkner made headlines last month when he implored Bonamassa to "stop acting like a spoilt tit" after the blues/rock guitar titan complained about an online article based on one of his tweets.
