And they criticise modern Americans of African descent for doing R&B/Rap that is "too violent".

Seems like his strings is too loose compared to the studio version of "Boom Boom"

I'm Bad Like Jesse James (1986)

..real gangsta style..

Lifting weights in the gym to this song is like attaining nirvana for me.

Is this off a particular album?

You have no idea how deeply this song affects me.

Does anyone know the story behind why he's playing a guitar with 'BB King' on it? Is this JLH playing Lucille?

it's a production guitar, the lucille. essentially an es-355 without f holes. bb's signature guitar.

John Lee said in an interview that he saw it in a music store near his home and bought it because BB was a pal of his and wanted to pay tribute to BB. Music store owner asked John if he needed help with anything, john asked him to bring the guitar over, owner said it was a lot of money. John said in his trademark stutter "I-I-I-I D-D-D-Don't Care, J-J-J Just G-G-G Give It To Me"!!!!!! Owner said "Who The Hell Are You"???? What John Lee didn't know was that the owner was a HUGE fan. John said "I-I-I I'm John Lee"!!!!!! Owner started screaming and soon enough, John Lee was signing stuff in his store. LOL!!!!! Hope that helps.

Fuck that...he's badder than Jesse James. This is absolutely the best version of this song ever. Saw him do this track live four or five times. Whew....

To understand better this Blues read Rob Hansen's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Hooker sides with History not with the Myth...because Jesse was Baaad! Yes, you can see the film if your prefer...
