Joe is ONE of the very few who perform with them anymore. there are so few kids coming up now, compared to what was happening in our generation, that even have an interest in guitar playing at all. and those that are were NOT influenced by the multitude of "guitar heros" that were then playing those instruments. back in the early/mid 70's, they were all any of those guys wanted, played, and talked about... not the case anymore. time has, and will continue to move on like it does with everything else in life.I strongly doubt that! :hmm And I think that Joe B. might be the perfect example, why ...
i can speak for people younger then 40 (i am 21) i love bursts personally but alot of my friends are not at all even awear of the term, i have to explain to guitar players in my age group was a "burst" is. I am part of a very small segment of younger (not saying u guys are all old) players who love these things. and I COMPLETELY blame it on Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton,Duane Allman all the burst guys bloomfield to gibbons to green to koss. if i wasn't a complete British Blues freak/ 60/70s rock & roll fan i wouldnt understand the fuss about these guitars either.
It's a freakin' guitar magazine for God's sake.:wow

Good comment about kids in general these days. I put some of the blame on the Guitar Hero video game. It is much easier than actually learning how to play the guitar. Also, teenage dudes are going to go where the teenage girls are. How many of learned guitar in part to impress girls? In the 70s, teeenage girls liked Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. In the 80s, hair metal still attacted them. As hip-hop became more popular, that became the attraction. And there is not much guitar in hip-hop. Country music is the big atttraction these days that still has guitar. Boy, does rock need a large scale comeback.
I think it's called "Guitar Player", not "Vintage Guitar Magazine":ganz

You don't put two bursts on the cover and then not talk about them. Basic interviewing 101. :ganz
The text on the cover indicates there is discussion about his vintage Les Pauls. :ganz
Joe is the only one who brings bursts on stage nowadays!
Congrats Joe
