  2. Torture Your Soul says:

    goddamnit BB King! come to arizona!

  3. ADD1369 says:

    B.B.'s the shit! And a much better musician than 99% of the crap the kids think is cool lately. I'm gonna have to hit up Chicago.

  4. Nargaroth Iscariot says:

    I saw him a few years ago he was real good. I would like to see him at his nyc club. $85 a ticket though. If I was spending that much I would pay $80 for Jerry Lee Lewis at bb kings since I never saw him.

  5. kyokushinadam says:

    I only hope i am still going as strong when i am pushing 80. The man is a living legend

  6. MetalHeads says:

    definantly gonna hit up the san diego date i think i'm gonna take my grandpa

  7. Charliescene says:

    Man fuck this nigger,atreyus guitariest could whop this dudes ass in a standoff,wanna bet,me and my homies used to give this fool guitar lessons,and he wanted to do solos,i was like oh shit your solos suck,no meaning,plus his style was wack as hell! SXE 4 Life!

  8. aidscancer says:

    i saw bb last week. it was fucking awesome. the dudes funny as hell and plays a great show for an 80 year old.

  9. Rizzo says:

    Fuck yes. i'll be at the KC show. Would be really cool if he somehow played "When Love Came To Town".

  10. SteveO says:

    B.B. would be cool to see… I've actually seen his daughter Shirley perform live.

  11. aggression says:

    How is any of this metal…..? Trust me I am all about an old man attempting to play the guitar….but come on…this is Sins METAL news…right?

  12. ADD1369 says:

    Steve-o, I too have seen his daughter, and she was good. The man is pushing 80, diabetic and kicks major ass. Anyone who appreciates great music, go see him.

  13. kyokushinadam says:

    To aggression-, there would be no metal or rock whatsoever without blues. Many of the chord progressions and note patterns are the same. Listen to Sabbath, they are basically an amped up blues band. As for his"attempting" to play guitar, as mentioned above, he isa better musician NOW, than 99% of the musicians on this site.Try not to sound ignorant.

  14. the_pagan_prosperity says:

    B.B. King is a legend! :smile:

  15. Anus says:

    I'm sure he would nigger slap all of you for comparing him and worrying about who he is a better musician than. Who gives a fuck.

  16. Nargaroth Iscariot says:

    Charliescene, Lets see if the guitairst form atreyu is still paying shows and making music that people will still listen to in 60 years. the dolt from atreyu is not even fit to hld bb's pick. Then again you are straight edge so that would be the reason you dont like other kinds of music. Smoke a bowl then pop in some bb king, some yellowjackets, or even some weather report and see what you think then.

  17. deathmetal666 says:

    Alright now,I beieve yesterday was the coons' holiday….you can cease with the nigger ass kissing.

  18. PainJunkie says:

    Hmmmmmmmm….2 shows in Branson-think I'll have to hit that shit up.

  19. aggression says:

    to kyokushinadam …. Without classical music there would be no other form of music…blah blah blah….that doesnt make it any good…or mean we want to hear about it here…and as far as guitar players BB King is nowhere near the top…he can barely play as it is…and only plays a few notes during a song…give me a break….SRV now he could play some fucking blues… fuck BB King…

  20. xXxclichexgarbagex says:

    Five month tour. God damn I have never seen that many dates at one time for an individual.

  21. bukkake tsunami says:

    fuck yeah the weather report!!! jaco pastorius owns any other bass player around

  22. kyokushinadam says:

    to aggression-your comments were so idiotic, no response is required.

  23. briznitch says:

    Anybody with a racial comment or talk about how BB can't play, you're a cock stroking idiot. A dumbass and a biggot hick redneck racist all in one guy? WOW!

    BB Rules and I wish he was playin Vegas, DAMN!

  24. metalkillsall says:

    "SRV now he could play some fucking blues… fuck BB King…"

    SRV would laugh in your face and then piss on you if heard you say that. Listen to Dave Gilmour play and you'll see that a multiple notes in rapid succession is not necessary to be a great guitar player.

  25. aggression says:

    Yeah BB King is really good at playing the same 3 notes over and over again with a few vocals thrown in…yeah that kicks ass…your a fucktard

  26. kyokushinadam says:

    You dont have to sound like Yngwie Malmstein (sp?) to be a good guitarist. Your comments remind me of the people that say Christina Aguilera (never thought I'd type that name here) has a good voice, when, in truth she is just flashy and loud, without a shred of soul. Art isn't only technicality. Try playing BB KIng's music, it wouldnt sound ANYTHING like him, Blues is about
    imporvisation, and yes, sometimes, the same 3 notes are repeated. You are boring us all aggression.

  27. metalkillsall says:

    music on consists of 12 notes anyway, all of which are repeated endlessly, by every guitarist. If you want to get technical though, most blues is played with 5 notes. I'd rather hear BB king play 3 or 5 notes over and over than hear a mindless shred solo with no melody or heart. Either way agression, you're still an idiot.

  28. kyokushinadam says:

    ^well put. Dont forget the artistry of the drum solo…

  29. charIiescene says:

    fuck bb king, he is a boring ass nigger who can't play guitar, everything sounds the same, stupid filthy nigger needs to be lynched 19th century style

  30. sevenchurches says:

    you rascist pieces of dog shit like the cock
    bb king accually plays guitar and plays solos unlike shitknut and all your beloved mallcore bands
    so go fuck yourselfs and go listen to your kornhole ass lickers and die
