Steven Seagal plays the Blues

[GRUMPY]

Steven Seagal is not only a actor, but he is a cop, and he plays blues guitar.

As much as I HATE him as an actor, he's a decent player, so I gotta give him his props.

 

[Lame_Pinky]

Hey Jim you are stretching things a bit aren't you calling him an "actor" ?

LP

btw couldn't understand a word he said

 

[GRUMPY]

Hey LP, I liked him, He is a great Martial Artist. His acting was not all that great, but I enjoyed watching him.

 

[SunnyOne]

i was watching his strumming hand, sure didn't move much...are you sure he really can play??

 

[NOLABlues]

He doesn't do much strumming, just uses that big ol' thumb of his for single note picking. Very unusual to watch but he gets great tone. Saw him at a fund raiser show last year, good back-up band.

My understanding is that he has quite a collection of guitars......if he loves the blues....enough said....later.

I watched a few of his videos..never knew he was a player but I'm sure looking at him differently now.
Pretty cool.
Conan O'Brien is a player/collector too.

I saw the video a week or so back. Yesterday I heard him again singing a different song on Bluesville SXM. He hit a triple with me cause I like mixed martial arts, action films and the blues.

i liked it
only because he might read this and come over to yorkshire and kick my arse

 

[Chuck]

A side of him I wasn't aware of. Thanks for posting!  I was on a flight to Sydney, Australia and got the opportunity to meet him. I think it was 94 or 95.

 

[bob]

an artistic man
to say the least

 

[MikeS]

I think he's using the patented Stratogeezer thumb picking technique.

 

[Emilio]

Ok.............................................................

I'm with Bob on this one

I have been deliberating over this for at least five minutes, and I still couldn’t tell you if he is a better guitarist than he is an actor?

 

[Alexander Blue]

Good actor, Bad actor, good Blues player, bad Blues player, good cop, bad cop ...  :-/ ... Whatever the case may be, he's got our attention and a much LARGER bank balance than most of us ... I believe that denotes a level of success in itself   ... And... I agree with Bob, an artistic man to say the least    

 

[stratogeezer]

The guy obviously loves the blues and loves playing guitar.
That's enough to garner my respect.
One thing is clear...Bonamassa can rest easy.
I do think SS could benefit from BGU.
Need to get him working on the BGU solos.

 

[Spencer]

Cool video. I like seeing guys play that I had no idea could.

 

[Russ]

I always knew he was a player, but I'd respect him more if I could have understood a single word he said. Everybody's got their own way of playing. He plays better than I do, so I guess I have no right to cut on him. It's like I tell my 14YO daughter she has no right to gripe about driving skill of other people when she's not there yet.  :-X

I actually love Steven and all his movies, but I bust out laughing every time they have a scene where he is running, either being chased or chasing someone.  Here is a big huge macho guy running like a little girl. ;D ;D ;D

 

[bob]

if your into him that is
