Thats more than enough pedals to “hide” behind!...
It was an interview. The question he was addressing was something like "So what happened to your pedalboard then?"
The question was not "What do think of your contemporaries and heroes?"
It would be hard to think of a high profile guitarist who has been more respectful to other guitarists than Joe Bonamassa has been throughout his whole career. Maybe somebody should ask Bernie Marsden what he thinks of Joe Bonamassa the man??
It was pretty much a comment about tone choices (and how they might change in just a few years).
The sentiments could just as easily have been expressed by (for example) Mark Knopfler.
If you own a wonderful instrument and a good valve amp......would it make sense to actually hear what they are capable of?
Some of you are about to sit down for dinner......
Isn't Filet Mignon great? Would you agree that it is awesome?
Before you pour the Chip Shop Curry Sauce all over it.......can we chat about that first?
Gravy is alright to pour on it though isn’t it?
its not so much I think aimed at the working Pro who has tools in his box to do the job more the level of player that is around today who is swapping his fat gherkin for a triple pickle add suitable names in an endless loop.
you only have to look at the endless list of pedal in the classifieds and eBay. Its become more of a collector thing.
PRS said a similar thing for all the work we have put into making better guitars these days they are just a controller for a bunch of synths.
ultimately he is looking for controversy to get interest but part of it is a reality of the modern world of guitars.
YMMV
Plus, if we all stopped yapping then this place would be, um, very quiet.
”fuck off JB” is my first reaction to that, and I’m a fan of him, his museum of fucking collectibles (hypocrite) and his music.

'why... in my day we used to bang jawbones on treestumps for entertainment, then came along these crazy kids with their comb and paper and ruined everything'.

I don't agree with what he says but I'll defend with my life his right to say it, the silly old sausage.
