Get ready to rumble with Eric Gales and his new single "I Want my Crown" featuring Joe Bonamassa, from Crown, out now everywhere.
LYRICS:
Tired of being in the back seat
I want my crown
I’m tired of making ends meet y’all
I want my crown
Tired of hearing ‘bout Joe B.
How he tweaks that sounds
Now it’s my turn time to eat
I want my crown
Been on someone else’s dome
For far too long
If you don’t believe what I’m saying
Then just keep listening to this song,
I want my crown
I want my crown
People tell me to leave it be
Nobody bothered asking me
Hell, for as long as I’ve been around
It’s my turn
I want my crown
I want my crown
I want the king size bed
With the silk sheets
I want my face on a billboard
At the top of Beale Street
All the haters out there hating
That want to keep down
While you’re swimming in that muddy water
I already got my crown
Jewel encrusted diamonds and gold
It’s a sight to see
Looking at it never gets old
Damn it looks good on me

The thing I dislike the most about this video is that it's not 30 minutes long with 10 full rounds.
Hey Anthony, nice to see you here
@@ianp6742 Been waiting for this video for months.
GREAT COMMENT!
Great comment 👍
I was thinking 12 rounds minimum, 15 for us old-school championship fight fans! 😝🎸🔥🎸🔥👊💥
Having the mighty Keb Mo as the umpire for the guitar duel is pure gold.
Umpire? You mean Referee..

@@winndell Umpire mediates, referee ensures rules are followed. Keb's pedigree is far too elevated to be a lowly referee. Just so you know the difference.
The bottom line is we all agree…….HE IS OFFICIAL!!!🙌🏽😂
Thank you ~ I was doing double-takes, like, "Izzat? Keb? Wait, really?" Cool!!!
This is the Eric Gales I’ve been waiting to hear for decades, the talent was never in question, but the production finally matches his talent, great
Well said
The production on his songs and albums have always been top-notch! Check out his "That's What I am" album. One of my all time favorites.
@@ATX0705 I respectfully disagree. all the best.
@@eighttz Likewise to both of those responses. I'll say it again, "That's What I am" is an amazing record. Never heard anything like it, the songwriting and production is so unique, but we all have different tastes, and I respect that!
He’s clean, sober, and blessed. Eric stay safe my buddy.
Nobody’s mention the referee! A blues legend himself! Keb Mo!
I'm surprised he's even still alive.
@@obliqueapplications8881 He was Born in 51. He ain't that old.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Are you Serious!
Youngbloods!
Yeah....he could "break up the fight" with a few haymakers of his own.
True winners in this battle are the music fans. Absolutely fantastic song and great playing from two mind blowing artists.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Youngbloods!
James Brown was doing this before Either of them even entered the Womb.
This tune is just a JB Ripp off
@@ZENSIBLE Freddd?!!
Take it to tha Bridge fred
This can't possibly be new!!????
It's just too good
@@ZENSIBLE every song ever written is a rip off of another song.
@@landajimmy Joe writes some really original music! And this duel is pure AWESOME. Wild. Love this! 👑 🎸🎤🎶
Blues fans won this battle. great video.
Bonamassa is still the King!!!!🤴🎸 😊
These friends bring out the best in each other! Excited to hear first release from this upcoming album!
Sondra ! How are you doing ? I will say this that Joe's website Forum is a very white site if you get my drift. A lot of those folks are across the pond and don't want to hear about this collaboration. I'm one of the few on his site who are really excited about the this whole thing. Son and I have known Eric since 2008 and have watched him grow through the years, as a musician and as a man in general. In fact I told him on one visit to Memphis that he would probably have an opportunity to play with Joe at some point if he kept his life in order. He has done that and so it has come to pass ........... take care girl
@@porkbelly0713 Good Morning, Sir! Not a bad way to start the day is it? Fun video with some wicked licks and Keb Mo jiving in the ring was a scene stealer! 🤣 I would have like a longer bout because these guys progressively escalate. Comments seem favorable to me. Are you concerned about the numbers? Think that’s a time of day thing. I was driving my grandchild to class while listening so I couldn’t live chat. Lots of folks at work now. Just start sharing it on multiple formats!
Have you been able to see any concerts lately? I got to go to the Ryman for Joe’s concerts and we got KWS and Kirk Fletcher as special guests!
@@jobo-and-mo Oh no not concerned about numbers here this morning since it's just the first song. It will get around to others in due time. That is too cool that Kenny Wayne and Kirk showed up. We saw Eric again here in Birmingham not long ago but it was a poor turnout, a late notice thing so it just wasn't promoted very much. It was his same basic show of late but always really good and lots of energy. Nobody but nobody has more energy on stage than Eric. You would have thought there were 500 people in the audience, it was more like 100 to 150
@@porkbelly0713 Bought tickets to see Eric in Nashville at City Winery. There were hints Joe was coming but both Joe and I and my friend had complications so I gave tickets to lady that gives us shelter in Nashville. She spent over 2 hours in torrential rain and horrendous traffic to rescue us from the Garth Brooks stadium show catastrophe so I was happy to give them to her! She and her friend loved the show!
@@jobo-and-mo I heard a lot about that horrible weather, glad you were rescued. Only had that happen once to me and it was a miracle we got out because we were on stage under a tarp with 3 Dog Night playing on as the concert closer. A huge storm came on us and we all had poles up trying to keep that tarp from collapsing. If it had then probably all of us and some of Billy Preston's band would have been electrocuted .............. take care, you never know what you will get with some of these outdoor concerts
Joe is the king of the blues, you’ll never take his crown.
Eric has been wearing that crown for decades. I’m just glad he’s now ready to take ownership of it. I met him decades ago and he was so nice and humble just like he is now. Just a very kind hearted soul. God bless you Eric! I hope the rest of your life is filled with much joy and happiness. 🙏
True. Super humble guy. Joe , well , not as much but both brilliant players.
I was fortunate to meet him after a concert and you couldn’t be more right what a humble guy and so was his family. I look forward to seeing him again!
Hes a machine, happy to hear he was sound
Been a fan since his 1991 debut
I wish that to eric and joe with all my heart
Haven't seen Joe play like this since his earlier albuns. Shreding like a boss.
Agreed!
You didn’t Watch the « battle » they did in live ? It’s on CZcams
Bro no go Erik
What are you going on about? All Joe has done since his 1st couple of albums is shred.
@@buddyboy6071 i think what he meant was He Is playing like He used to. When he was playing A New day yesterday in 2001. I cant blame him. his guitar tone is like walk in my shadow
First single from the new record! Been waiting! I believe Joe is the producer on it. We're all in for a treat!!!!
Yes, Joe has produced it for Eric and plays on at least a few songs
@@RhombusZero Right on! Didn't realize Josh was producing on the album as well. Great to see these guys get together to float all boats!
Thank you joe and Eric for keeping the blues alive.
Damn!!! It makes me feel so good to see two amazing guitarist that are friends and not trying to trash each other!!!! There’s enough haters out there already!! Congrats to u for sobriety and ur success!! Plenty more to come!!
I've been with Eric from the beginning and man he's been through the mill. His passion when playing is amazing and his live shows are second to none. Let's keep on supporting him through his journey. He's a living day guitar hero 🎸❤
Joe and Eric…. We need more of this!
Eric for the win, lets not forget this dude is playing with his non-dominant hand with the guitar upside down. Genius!
I think it makes more sense. Far more fines needed with the fretting hand. I’m a lefty and play guitar righty.
Each to its own man. They are similar in some ways, and different in other ways. I am a huge fan of both, but it comes down to what your flavor is
Great! They chose the right guy for referee too
I would argue that's easier. It's a more natural way to play.
@@j.t.3798 it’s not natural to learn guitar backwards
this dude looks like he plays a right handed guitar just flat turned upside down...wow
We all are going to be winners on this contest!
Amazing! Bloody brilliant!!! Both winners there. Love Keb Mo there too. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eric is the only one guitarist worthy of the crown.
Joe’s solo and phrasing totally reminds me of Jan Hammer’s solo on Jeff Beck’s “Play With Me.” Particularly his placement of bends and ultra-accurate pocket. Bits of John McLaughlin sprinkled throughout as well.
Thats right
You're dead right about the Jan Hammer bends, same timing and everything. Good ear
@@trevorandthegunrunners4166 cheers!
I call that duel a DRAW! The real winners are us who are listening!
EVERY STEP FORWARD AND EVERY TIME ONE MAN HELPS THE OTHER GOD BLESSES BOTH MEN congrats EG
Josh Smith has been a godsend for Eric
I would have thought JB would have put one of his signature Gibsons on for the video. Interesting. Great playing by JB and EG!

Eric's got them nice eclectic voicings in his solo.
Been listening to Mr. Gales since he was 16 years old. He deserves that crown!!
Give em the CROWN
I don’t think a music video has ever made me smile this much 🤣 So genius! Love Keb’s cameo too. You’re the KING to us, Eric. 😎👏🏻
I didn't know that Wilder could play the guitar so well.
That’s was cool . I would love to see this live … just the back and forth .
czcams.com/video/d9eNyWFT64o/video.html
They already did it.
They played together similar on one of the blues cruises. Sick riff battles and stuff 😂
Eric had to be the winner....He made a wah-wah sound without having one in the ring. That's some kind of voodoo stuff right there. lol
Incredible solos, great sound, amazing video. What a duo!
How did I miss this?
Eric+Joe= thermonuclear
I can’t wait to hear this 🎸 conversation
The vamp they're playing over is sick, sick, sick.
Great playing all around. Bonamassa is incredible !!!
I love that they had Keb 'Mo as the ref!
Super funky blues, and these two greats humble enough to get in the ring, and cut heads. Awesome-
Both fellas just rippin' it.
I just heard an interview with him and I didn't realize him and Joe Bonamassa have been best friends for 30 years. What a team! This new album is excellent!!
Who’s hating Eric Gales? GET IT E!!!!
This is fire - congrats Eric!
When Joey B introduced Eric as the best , humble of Joey B for that intro.
But, Joey B knows what he's talking about.
Although no one wants that 👑
Love it ! When I saw you playing for the first time at 14 in Memphis I knew one day you’d rule the Kingdom ! We’ll done brother, keep on slamming those tunes.
Two of the best guitar players in the same room and it's glorious.
Thank you Eric and Joe..!
EXCELLENT... They both definitely are Guitar Masters... PERIOD.
I’m proud to say I’m gonna go to a Bonamassa concert in July 2023. In France.
What I’m not proud of is discovering this so much later than the day it came out.
Guitar has a new World’s Heavyweight Champion. Joe Bonamassa recognized that Eric Gales had new heights to reach. Great marketing. This is HIS TIME. Incredible first track, And that was Keb Mo right?
Just what Danny Gatton did for Joe, playin it forward!!!!!
that was indeed Keb Mo. I love the song and the guitars and the horns. It has a huge Gales Brothers Memphis sound to it, a throwback to some of the 90s albums
Germany here. Great song.
Funky blues time!!!
I remember those funky nights on Beale st. At B.B. KINGS 👌🤙
🤣😂 Cheesy AF! Keb'Mo as the ref...Priceless.
This is the new Riding with the King, and Eric is in the drivers seat wearing a crown.
I love them both, But Eris is other worldly. This dude has a musical vocabulary that is, simply put, ridiculous. Great vid. You go Boy!
Hot damm i love this Joe has been a fav of mine for years But sctew a crown them guys got the crowds wow we need more of that please.Made my day
I always hoped this friendly duo could have a Magic Johnson/Larry Bird type rivalry🔥🎸🔥
Great song! Killer arrangement, writing, production and musicianship. Wow! Hat's off to Joe B for helping make this is what it is and promoting his fellow virtuosos. The point here is opposite - they are competing in the video but's it's NOT about competition it IS about elevating all those in the Arena and Joe is doing this with Eric, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher and many others. Good job!
So VERY true. Its room for all to wear crowns if deserving.
Eric Gales is the best alive. Period.
BIG shoutout to my brother SMOKE FACE for getting me hip to this! Can’t Wait! Y’all are the best PERIOD.
Eric Gales hands down.🏆
Great track! Love it.
Never cut heads with Bonamassa tho, you’re gonna loose.
A very happy birthday to Eric, he is 47 today Oct 29. Keep up the good work my friend, Big Daddy and Arthur in Birmingham say hello. We hope you have a great day
I love both Eric and Joe's style of playing and sound... wow... They are both great...
CoooL! Joe B looks more and more like Agent Smith! :D
The blues is in a really great place right now. Old guys still doing their thing and new guys coming up. Killer song here, and as a side note, I love that everybody is giving both guys props in the comments and not arguing over who’s better. These are 2 masters at work and the only winners are us listening to it!
Yeah people try to act like guitar music is dying. As long as there is the blues, guitar will live on.
Just saw an ad for Crown in Rolling Stone so I checked this out. 10/10! 🥳
YAAAAASSS!!! Love it! Two incredible guitar artists of our decade.
Joe is really showing his Eric Johnson influences here
MasterMind Bonamassa, stepping Up as a producer, elevating not only himself even higher, but strapped to his rocket of success is Mr Gales. Eric, throw away the shorts Master, your time to shine brighter has come, make it count. You are gonna explode brother, you are a true Monster and I'm jumping right on your train! 🎸💥👊🏽
Eric been shining for decades. He isn't strapped to Bonamassa's rocket. It's the other way around. And that's not a knock on Joe. Eric is our greatest modern blues player. Untouchable.
Ohhhhh yeahhhhh!!!! Me too!!!
@@RMPMcDermott they are both great. Its my humble way of saying it. As I said before, Eric is a monster and I wish him nothing but the best.
@@RMPMcDermott agreed. Joe is amazing and so is Eric. I saw and met him when he was killing it at age 16 or 17 in Memphis Tn at Memphis in May.....
Ok sorry but its impossible to say who's better... let's not get too into our feelings here. Obviously Joe is the more successful of the two. He's just helping out a much deserving friend get the recognition he deserves. Saying one is "better" than the other is literally just an opinion. Yall let go of that negative energy and just be positive for both these guys! We need music like this to be more available to the public without the help of huge major labels, and that's what this is! That way guys like Eric dont have to struggle so long to get what they deserve! And I absolutely love it! Keep em coming fellas ✌🖤🤘
I'd be like "Ok, Eric.... Gimme like 2-3 weeks to get that rhythm guitar part down and I'll think about it." And then I'd run away.
So good!!!! I've been waiting for these phenomenal guys to do something together. Bravo to Eric and Joe!!!! Real treat for all of us!!!
We gave you a Crown many years ago!! Now it's time for the Rest of the World to give you your much deserved Crown!!
Great fun, great track, Joe playing like he’s in Bloodline again! Great stuff.
Hehe the keb'mo!!!
You noticed! Respect! 🙌
@@sumoblues 🤘💀❤️
I really love how this is going on in 2021. The blues community seems so small but I am glad there's still superstars and battles going on if you look hard enough!
I want to see a rematch that was excellent👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🍺🎸🎼🇺🇸🇱🇹 Eric won 🏆
The blues lives on and has a new generation of superstars to not only revive it, but take it to the center of attention. This team of virtuosos is spreading inspiration and great music all around!!
That was the greatest thing I have seen since MTV in 1989
you get an upvote just for the opening riff lol **edit** ok now i watched the whole thing, damn i hope we get a full album with you both one day
I dont want to blow out the candle but Eric isnt on the same level as Joe lol. Its like oranges and apples. I still like eric alot. 👍🙂
That's some of the tastiest stuff I think I've heard Joe play.
I had to rewatch the solo battle. Multiple times. Still watching with my mouth wide open.
Bonamassa's licks are FIRE!! and that gold on Eric's guitar!!!
So fun two rival soul brothers. I like the funny license plates too.
Amazing, this is what BB King would be singing and playing
A whole lotta awesomeness in that ring! And the winner is...... Us!
There will be no winner! They are both guitar monsters. With a little preference for Eric, which is not aiming to perfection but plays beautifully and musically, jazzy sounding.
I agree!
True
Joe's tone is lethal on this.
Dudes!!! So awesome! Love seein Eric in his natural environment (Golden and Glorified)! Glad y’all sat down and made this happen! LOVE IT
These two........definitely phenominal top shelf technical players, but i think (imo) that crown went down in stevie's helicoptor yet to be recovered even after 30+ years
I guess the fact that this video has just over 500 thousand views rather than over 500 million views just shows how differently we blues heads are wired from the normies. This jam has everything I want from music in it!!!
for as long as you been around, it took for JOE to make you renowned !!
Huh.. they’re BOTH great players! The difference I hear between them is Eric is definitely more Funk, and Funky Blues.. Joe is more Rockin’ Blues. The fact that they’re working together is mutual admiration. As great as they are, they’re not as well known as some of the more pop, or ‘commercial’ artists because they’ve stayed true to themselves. Those of us who know who they are, and know of their formidable guitar skills, are the beneficiaries here!
You need to make a correction there buddy not only are they well known but they're more well known than some of the other cats you talk about. Eric gayles and Joe bonamassa are 2 of the best guitar players out there today.
@@markjackson3273 joe also had a few funky groovy projects as well. but eric sounds like joe satriani in this solos
This should be part of one of those full length movies that's the music of the album
He is amazing. I love watching him play. I think Joe’s Solos won this time around though………..
Please live a long time with an active creative life, the world DESPERATELY NEEDS YOU ❤ Even though you’re a king, in addition i hereby knight you, Honorable Sir Gales.
Good song, beautifully sung and super played, Eric Gales is great and of course Bonamassa too. Super Video. We all live the Blues.
joe takes this one. that tone! and that riff at 3:16. damn.
Such a great build up to some scorching licks from both guitarists. The pay off is amazing, great video Eric!
Two legends lives. Masterpiece of modern blues. Gratz
