Wha did a self professing blues hater expect?Dudes I came across in metal/punk were always like "hey, here is how I played that lick" or" dude, come jam with us sometime"....blues/ jazz was: "who are you? Who do you know? You can go away now...."
I really love this one for real. It is still on my playlist now.Buddy Rich - "Basically Blues"

Oops...this was before I was a blues hater...this is what started it in a way...
What's your favorite Blues song?
Can anyone discern the differences in blues and country? IMO they overlap with many similarities and if you can tell me specifically how they differ I’d be interested in learning.Little Willie John...I love his song "I'm Shaking".
I actually played that in one of the bands I was in.
Is "Folsom Prison Blues" a Blues song? Sounds like a Country song to me
I disliked it until fairly recently - because it's the standard output of lazy, overweight pub bands. And there's a certain strain of blues (Chicago, I think) by the likes of BB King that is prone to sounding very cliched, repetitious and superficial.I am not a fan of the blues...probably the only one, I know...
I play a TON of them in my country band, but until I got into that band, I went 45 years without really ever paying attention to the blues. I know they influence a ton of stuff that I do like, but straight out blues is just boring to me. I play it in the band I am in b/c I like the guys I play with, I like it when other people are having fun listening to what they like and I wanted to expand my style knowledge...
I DEFINITELY respect and am fascinated by the history of the blues in American culture, so when I play, I am always trying to do that justice as well
not trying to throw shade, but also just curious to see of anyone else is not a blues fan....honestly, other than real young kids, I have NEVER met someone who doesn't love the blues....
