I met Vince in 15 and became fairly well acquainted with him. My wife died in October 2016 and I was at the opry in December. Vince knew I was in the audience and dedicated “go rest high” to me and my late wife. What a guy!
Vince is a real stand up kinda guy...after all he is human and has emotions just like the rest of us ....i think my favorite tribute of his is go rest high on that mountain at George Jones' service..he just loses it and that shows the true spirit of the man
@Best Binary Fx Dont mess with my bank
account..I dont have money!I need all my
Money two pay bills.Vella Hogsed Bware!!!!!!.
That is amazing, yet I am not surprised since Vince has always seemed like a great man!
He is precious.

Vince Gill is one of my favorite people on the planet. Always seems humble and respectful. And fun, too.
I saw Vince with the Eagles in Feb 2023. I’ve seen the Eagles, 3 times prior with Glen Frey. My seats were closer to Vince than any other member on this particular night. He was on fire. Having a ball. Vocally fit the songs perfectly. I’m so thankful there are down to earth musicians like Vince out there.
Vince Gill is an incredible musician and singer, but also an outstanding human being.
Vince Gill can be whatever he wants to be. He is so great by himself or with the Eagles, I loved him in Pure Prairie League, so he can do it all. Great Man.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
And of course his solo work. Incredible guitarist.
Big Vince Gill fan before Eagles. What a musician, voice and human. Love him 😘
Didn’t know much about Vince until he came to the Eagles. Now I’m a total fan. Fabulous musician and so down to earth and kind to the fans as well. Amazing how he’s stayed so humble. Wonderful voice, great guitar player and musician.
One the best guitar players l've heard. He also dynamite on a mandolin. And a thoughtful generous gentleman. Bless You.
Vince Gill is a class act. A great singer and musician in his own right. Of course he can't sound like Glenn Frey did but Glenn couldn't have sounded like Vince either. I'm just happy that he is helping keep the Eagles great music alive.
Vince is a very humble guy... and to be honest with you... the Eagles are lucky to have him aboard... he's an extremely talented man...
I agree with you JFE... Joe
Vince is hellava player! Ain't bad at all on vocals neither 👍
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I believe Vince can play better technically than Glen could. Of course you can never replace Glen. He started it all with Don and co-wrote a ton of classic hits.
Fry and Henley as song writers, yes. Fry and Gills technical skills? Not even close, Vince Gill is an incredible axe man 👍
Eagles, not The Eagles.
Vince Gill is a national treasure.
National Treasure for sure! Having seen Vince several times, National Treasure ... says it all !
nothing more to add here
Absolutely so.
Can't say enough.
What a man
What a musician
What a class act
Cheers🍷
Make that an inter-national treasure !
He certainly is!
I love Vince’s humble nature in knowing that he isn’t Glenn and that he himself doesn’t want to sing “new kid in town” but that he wants to do his part in “keeping this thing rolling.” I love that statement because without talented musicians like Vince, music like The Eagles would someday never be performed again. Keep the music we love alive!
Truely one of the few great humble guitarists of our time. He can play anything, Reminds me of my hero Glen Campbell. Look him up if you wanna see an old school guy who could play or sing anything
To me, Vince Gill is the perfect fit for the Eagles. He is an already an established known musician but he has a great voice with the perfect voice range for the songs plus a very talented guitarist.
As a longtime Eagles fan it does my heart good that they chose Vince Gill.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
ABSOLUTELY adore Vince Gill @ Amy his gorgeous wife .A lovely couple XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vince Gill is likely the only guy on earth that could join Eagles and not make them worse. Great talent, perfect blend....it is a gift from god that he did the gig.
So you're saying he sings Eagle songs just as good as Randy Meisner and Glenn Frey? That's hilarious.
Vince Gill is truly god’s gift to mankind especially now in an era of sub par human beings.
How can you not love the humility of these two men.
Vince is 100% correct when Clapton calls you just say YES!!!!!
Got to see him play with Eagles and he is an excellent singer. While he doesn’t sing Glenn Frey’s songs in the exact same way, he sings them in his own manner and still kills it. Eagles are lucky to have him.
Did not see the shows...totally understand why he was asked...he’s an awesome singer!! Seems like a great guy too.....
Meget sympatisk fyr. Ville meget gerne se ham med Eagles. 😘 De numre jeg nu har hørt og set her får mig til at ville se og høre meget mere 🤩skøn mand og musiker 🎶 🎈 😍🙋♀️
I agree and I like an artist much better when they don’t try to imitate the original singer. Especially in a case like this, where it’s the same band, so it’s not a cover version of a song. Entirely different situation, but I do love it when an artist covers a song and totally makes it their own through style, arrangement or what have you. One of the best examples of that imo is the late, great Chris Cornell covering “Billie Jean”.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I love any help you can give me!
@Kase Castiel instablaster =)
Went and seen the Eagles play in Tulsa last month. The crowd went absolutely insane when Don Henley announced Vince Gill. Fantastic show and Vince did an incredible job filling in for Glenn Frey.
Love this man! I’m a lifelong metalhead and really don’t respect any modern, popular country artists, but Vince is on a totally different level than almost any artist in any genre. His musicianship is world-class. There is no better guitarist on the planet. And his voice is pure and his writing is elegant and beautiful. But his soul is what really sets him apart. I was watching an Eagles concert on TV for 30 minutes before I realized he was in the band. This is a guy that can tower over anyone on a stage and he just sat back and honored the songs. To be that great and that humble at the same time... it’s basically unheard of. I really can’t say enough. Thanks for posting this video.
Jason...... no one could have said it better..... thank you... Joe
i have so many bookmarks for this guy, always a pleasure and a wide eyed open.
I was going to post but your post expressed what I feel about Vince Gill. I hate most country music but always loved the Eagles and CCR and others (in "rock"), and also loved Randy Travis, Vince Gill, John Anderson, Brad Paisley and tons of others who are sincere. Too many to mention. I'm a huge Beatles fan and love Zeppelin and any great rock music. Pink Floyd and all that, but I have my country side, and Vince is one of my favorites.
@@PlanetRockJesus I agree completely..! I too am a lifelong metalhead, but I do have an appreciation for some of the classic country artists (Martina among them..!) and Vince Gill is truly in a class by himself, both musically an d as an individual. He has always gone out of his way to help young artists coming up, and has appeared as guest on more albums than I can count. Truly an awesome guitar player, singer and songwriter, and an amazingly humble man. And now playing with the Eagles..? They are very lucky to have such a talent as Vince. Check out the stuff he did with Alison Krauss and the fairly recent performance he did with Carrie Underwood of How Great Thou Art.
So funny! I three, or 4, whomever chimed in as a metalhead, am a metalhead too...lol! However, my first love was the Eagles, before I discovered Sabbath, etc. Also, liked me some Poco, Marshall Tucker and a little Pure Prairie League which led me to Vince Gill, when he later joined in 79 or 80, on to his solo stuff. Then to come full circle! So, after some heaviness with some Pantera or Lamb of God, it’s sometimes nice to wind down with the soothing sound of Vince Gill.🤘🏼
"They quit playing Elvis, they'll quit playing you." Very profound!
Wait who quit playin Elvis?
A very true statement.
T Memphis ...I missed that memo too...who quit playing Elvis ? ...
@@jimasher The radio!
@@tonymemphis72 The radio stations.
Vince is one of those guys who is so dang good, and so humble he is able to step up on stage with The Eagles and know exactly why he is there...but not make a big deal out of it...just do what he can to make the music live.
I think that Don Henley knows that, and knows that Vince has nothing but respect for what The Eagles mean to a lot of us. All of these facts are part of why they seem to have melded together so effortlessly.
There will never be another Glenn Frey, but the music...the music we love still has a home, and that is a good thing.
Well stated Arch... best... Joe
😪
I went to see the Eagles (with Vince Gill) at Reunion Arena in Dallas several years ago. Being from Oklahoma and a country connoisseur, I've always been a big Vince Gill fan...so I was excited to see him perform with such an iconic band. As I listened to every song, absolutely glued to my seat, I wondered, who was most in awe? Is Vince thinking "wow, I can't believe I'm performing with the Eagles" or are the Eagles thinking "wow, we've got Vince Gill on stage with us". It was an incredible concert. The best I've seen yet. In my opinion, they couldn't have chosen a better voice or musical talent.
Vince is so humble. That’s a sign of his true greatness.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
Guys.. it was January 2016, a blizzard hit Nashville. Only 6” of snow shut the entire city down. My wife and I looking for anything that was open found tickets at the Ryman. Vince showed up to fill vacancy due to the weather. This was right after Glenn passed away. He sang a couple eagles songs and one was desperado. He got half way through first verse started to lose it. Glen was a friend of his. He started it over and god damn it was magic man..I wish that was on tape seriously not a single dry eye in the place. Vince you’re the shit man, I’ve always seen you as a player growing up not so much as a singer guy. You inspire me today.
GREAT Post Cody Burgess...and shows VG's character and heart !
Nashville owes a lot to Vince. And others.
This just shows what a sincere, humble person Vince is. We all know what an amazing musician and singer he is.
He certainly seems so. But would a truly humble man agree to assume the role of Glen Frey in Glen's band? I'm not so sure. I do think he should have refused. Still a fan of Vince's regardless.
He isn't assuming Glenn's role in the band. Deacon , Glenn's son has also joined the Eagles. Vince is singing some of Glenn's songs, & Deacon sings some. There is no assumption Vince is replacing Glenn.
He's no Glen Frey
@@judijones4732 Nobody can replace Glen Frey but Vince is sincere in what he does. He admits that.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
Vince, I have been a huge Eagles fan since 1974 and have seen them 11 times and Henley solo once. When I heard you were joining the Eagles I wasn’t familiar with your work too much. I must say I am very pleased that you joined and once again Don’s instincts were 100% spot on. You are humble and appreciative of the opportunity and I am so glad you have enjoyed the success. I also love you and Amy as a couple. In this day and age of turmoil in relatIonships you two are a great role model of what can be. You are truly blessed and the Eagles and us fans are blessed to have you
I LOVE the Eagles!!! I also love Vince Gill! He was the only choice for the Eagles after Glenn’s death. Perfect fit! ♥️
Thanks for watching Tammy... best, Joe
It saddens me to hear him say that people have criticized him for being in the Eagles. I just saw them in Jacksonville (3/25), and he was amazing. Rarely do you get to see three virtuosos on one stage with Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, and Steuart Smith! Vince Gill is a breath of fresh air and a truly humble man.
Eagles went downhill when they got rid of Randy Meisner and Don Felder. No one can do Take It To The Limit. That is a one man song. Randy Meisner.
They didn’t “get rid” of Meisner. He quit the band. He and Glenn Frey had a very heated disagreement over Meisner’s refusal to sing Take It Too The Limit because he struggled to hit the high notes. After Hotel California, Felder wanted an equal profit split and tried to get Joe Walsh to go along with his stance against Henley and Frey. That was the beginning of the end for Felder.
@@paulmucci5668
Randy had said after he and Glen got into it none of them would talk to him. They would not hang out with him. I believe that. That is what happened when Felder left . Him and Walsh were great friends. After the two dictators fired Felder that was it between him and Joe Walsh. That makes me think DH and GF had told Walsh not to talk to Felder. They did the same thing to Randy. Randy said nearing the end of the tour it was hell. Felder should have gotten an equal split on Hotel California. He wrote the music and melody and Henley wrote the words and they both sang on the record. When they signed a contract Felder was suppose to be an equal partner. So was Randy and Bernie. Seems only 2 got that. DH and GF. They were bullies. We all know the story about Hotel California. Randy had been telling them it was hard for him to sing those high notes. But like Randy said. Just let it go.
After watching this I now have a lot more respect for Mr. Vince Gill. This is the first time I've ever listened to an interview of him. He is so down to earth, and he seems like a regular guy. He has not let his success, or all the fame and fortune go to his head.
Bottom line, Vince Gill is a "Gem" , and it doesn't matter what environment he gets into. Amazing triple threat. Love every thing about this amazing player, singer, and writer..Vince, I doubt you can ever know how much you've meant to us all....thank you sir. You are such an amazing talent.
Vince adds a lot to The Eagles as an Eagles fan and a Vince Gill fan I want to say to Vince directly Vince you do a great job ,thank you for taking this on . As a guitar player myself Vince has been a big influence my playing. God bless !
We saw The Eagles in Houston in May. It was such a great concert! I hope Vince feels the love! When they introduced him the audience went wild! Being an OK girl, I was cheering loudly too! So proud of our Oklahoman!! ❤️
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
Vince Gill! An example of the sweet spirit that Jesus wants us all to have. God bless ya' Vince.
Thanks Mick.... very kind thing to say and I’m sure Vince appreciates it... best, Joe
@@alansabin7487 They didn't start dating until they were both divorced.
🙏
Vince there is no one that could do a better job than you and you are a great guy Glen is proud of you doing it
Vince is one of the most talented, humble musicians on the planet!
To those that say Vince isn't Glenn. No he isn't but there is no one better out there than Vince to fill that void so we can still enjoy the Eagles keeping it alive!
Vince is an extremely talented person with a fantastic voice with fantastic work of his own and not only honored to be asked but none more deserving.
No one better? You gotta be kidding.
I've been a Vince Gill fan since he played with Delbert McClinton. I just flew down to Orlando on 2/24/22 to see him play with the Egales and the show just incredible. I;m a 56 year old guitar picker and have played professionally since I was 17 years old, I come from a family of musicians. My 86 year old father is who I went to the concert with. He is a huge Egales fan and a VG fan as well. When Don Henley introduced Vince, the crowd went WILD! Even Joe Walsh didnt receive the ovation Vince did and he mentioned it in a humorous good-sport way. This guy is REAL and REAL good! Love his playing, singing and song writing skills and ALWAYS will... Vince will always be known for his playing chops and being just a good good guy!
Vince Gill is one of my favorite people in this world, like Willie Nelson, two of the most wise and humble people that ever graced the earth!! Vince and Willie are both like my lost Dad, (grew up without a father) but their music and humility taught me so much about what life is really all about, family, country and patriotism. But most of all treat folks the way you want to be treated regardless of race or religion or any of the things people use for excuses! That's what I heard Willie say in an interview once and it stuck with me forever ( as it should)! 😉😇😇 Love watching Vince tell stories about his past experiences in life... makes you realize when you sing from your heart and not your brain the songs always hit harder over the airwaves!! 😉😇 Quote from Vince in an interview! BOTH Living Legend's!!
My favorite singer, songwriter, guitarist. Humble and kind.
Agreed Larry. I have viewed the eagles when they first hit the big time in the early 70s as the best band (never mind guitar band) in pop history. It was a sad day for me and millions of others when Glen died and as good as Vince is, I dont think they will ever be the same again. Sorry to say but they need to let Glens son go. I also think Don is past his best and if Vince steps up and does more vocals the better would come from it. And a few more of Vince doing solos. And dont forget those harmonies, Vince can more than replace glen in that department. In the years since Glen passed away no group in any field has come close to what was the eagles. Sigh. BTW I am a retired guitarist age 77 but have the experience to offer these thoughts. I really do miss them as they were .
Best song: Tequila sunrise.
Being a bass player myself and though I love my brother Leslie West, country music has finally come into its own
Have you even seen the Eagles with Vince & Deacon? They seriously sound better than ever. The Hotel California tour was the best show lve seen in ages & lve seen many Eagkes shows, with all versions of the band. Henley's vocals are shockingly great. The Last Resort sounded incredible. Henley still has it
They could not have found a more perfect fit to replace the late Glen Frey than the Great Vince Gill !✔✔✔
He is absolutely one of the best Guitar Players on the Planet 🌏 and has one of the best Voices on the Planet 🌏!✔✔✔
He is such a Outstanding Human Being as well !✔✔✔ Love me Some Vince Gill !!!✔✔✔ A True Eagle 🦅!!!✔
Negative comments?? I can’t think of anyone better to be apart of the Eagles than Vince Gill!!!
Fully Agree Mike!
Merry Christmas,
Britt
I saw him bout 3 times in a short period of time years ago
and became a huge fan forever. Would love to meet him one day. He and Mark Knopfler inspired me to take up guitar in my late 50's.
Ed.... thanks for watching............Joe
In 2013, Vince played a little festival in a town in north west Florida, Niceville, at the Mullet Festival. It was an incredible experience. He is a rare man. I had no idea he was picked up by The Eagles until he was introduced by Don at Dodger Stadium July 2017 at the Classic West concert. What an incredible treat.
Vince is one best guitar players ever. I was guilty of painting him as a country singer, who was certainly talented, but did not understand his guitar prowess. He's top five in my book.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
I always knew Vince was a monster guitarist. Sings like a bird and plays every style you can think of.
Los Angeles
Thanks for watching Blues Dawg… Joe
Vince is a humble man and I have always loved his solo career. What an absolute perfect fit he is with the Eagles. Sadly it had to happen after losing Glenn but every time I hear him with them I’m truly in awe of what he brings to that band. Hoping they release another live set from this Hotel California tour because it is sounding incredible.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see a live dvd/cd too. Having Vince is more than a tribute. It's beyond words what he brings to this heavenly band! Can''t say much more. 😢So much meaning brought to this tough life.
Just when I think I can't like Vince Gill any more. I hear another interview. What a guy.
Vince Gill what a legend ,an amazing musician I just love his songs and guitar playing . The eagles picked the right guy to play with them , simply the best
Thanks for your undying love and support ♥️
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
Love Vince as a player ever more because of the guy he is.... class act!!
I really think GOD gave him his talent..... to emphasize the wonderful human he is and to create such a positive influence on so many people !
Vince Gill learned his guitar craft in BLUEGRASS, where (almost) everybody can play as well as Vince Gill. Don't forget all the GREAT bluegrass flatpickers.
Vince is actually a great choice to be in the Eagles. He’s a veteran highly skilled singer who’s down to earth and has that country background that so many Eagles songs incorporate. Of course there are people who are hard to replace in any band but Vince shouldn’t worry about the people who don’t want him there and focus on enjoying his time in the band. None of us know when the end comes...
I think they now perform "Take It to the Limit" live in its original key of B major with Gill singing, right? I remember when Glenn Frey sang the lead, the song was transposed down to G major.
LOVE Vince Gill and The Eagles . Two of my favorites together Fantastic Beautifully Inspired Music , thank you for producing live at the IMAX next best thing to bring there, Great job on Take it to the Limit and all the rest that you do Vince is Fantastic and the Eagles especially Love keeps us alive.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
I went to the Hotel California tour in Little Rock AR in 2022, & I was highly impressed with Vince Gill's part with the Eagles! No, it's not the same, but it's pretty dang close, & just as good. Great job, Vince!
thank you so much . i appreciate . where are you from ?
It's funny to hear him talk about guys that he considers "legends"... he's so humble he doesn't even consider himself one of those legends. Which of course he is.
Vince does seem like a decent man. He is absolutely right about his place in the Eagles. Of course everyone would rather see Glenn. But he's gone. Vince is a top notch talent and he does a great job. He deserves a little more respect. I hope to get to see him with them one of these days.
You got it!
Vince has done an amazing job with the Eagles. After this interview I have even more respect for him. So humble.
How could anyone not like Vince? He's a helluva musician and a genuine nice fella..Years ago he jammed with us at a bluegrass festival..nice then...nice now..Thanks Joe
Thank you 6412.... joe
I saw vince performance with the Eagles along side Glens son in Birmingham Uk and I kid you not as a hardened eagles Fan I was like nope this ain’t happening but . They were absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate to watch this line up again pure Brilliance 👍❤️
Vince Gill is one of the nicest guys on the planet! I've played guitar for 50 years and I can't carry his guitar case! He is one of the very best there is! I wish he were my next door neighbor! 8) --gary
@Huck Finn Assuming your serious... It's an old expression of a very high compliment from one guitar player to another. It's an old guy thing I guess. LOL 8) --gary
I saw the Eagles with Vince just over a year ago. Every song he sang was great and he did a fine job. While I might not ever go to another Eagles concert again, it isn't due to Vince and his efforts to make that band sound great.
Vince is very under-rated. He is a great musician who doesn’t get enough credit for what he’s contributed to the music world. I enjoyed this interview!
Thanks for watching Beth... Joe
Vince I saw you with the Eagles November 2022 in Kansas City. I love the Eagles and you did a fine job. Your voice came through very well.
hey stephanie . thank you so much for the love and the support . where are you from ?
Vince and Amy are big heroes of mine. The truly humble, kind, selfless people out there are the greatest of all, whether they are famous or not. Most are not famous! Most are simple everyday folks, parents, rank and file workers... choosing to do the right thing every day. We need an awards ceremony for humble honorable people. Only they'd feel too full of themselves to ever accept an award for it. If that's you, keep up the good work. If you know people like that, pat them on the back and let them know you've noticed.
This guy is a great interviewer. He seems to keep his subjects comfortable and just stays quiet and let’s them tell their story. He asks relevant questions. I enjoy all of his interviews.
Thanks 0609.... Joe
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I was lucky enough to see the Eagles here in New Zealand when they played here last - ( 2018 I think) I honestly never thought I would ever live to see Vince Gill live, it was wonderful & a dream come true. I think he is a good fit for the band, obviously we would all love Glen Frey to be still here but Vince & his son are a great addition.
Thanks for watching Ann ... Joe
Eagles. Not The Eagles.
@@webinator9715 We called them the Eagles back in the 70s. Still do.
@@webinator9715 sorry you are offended.. To me they have been the Eagles since I bought their first album back in the 70's. Going to see Eagles sounds a bit weird to be honest.
Awww 🥰
Thanks for the sweet word Victoria
I appreciate you
He is also awesome playing bluegrass, amazing, T he Eagles hit gold with Vince . An Amazing player and songwriter. He also has wonderful life Partner Amy. God Bless you both and your family.
Saw Vince as an opening act for Sawyer Brown in the late 90's. Sawyer Brown was ok...But Gill just blew them out.I was utterly astonished at his at his playing,never knew he was that good. Knew he could sing...but his guitar chops. Wow.!!.And yes. "I Can't Tell You Why" was in his set..and a highlight.
Vince Gill. What's not to love?
Clapton followed American roots music. He loved Dwayne Allman's playing, and he loved The Band. It all makes sense
The band was canadian only 1 American in it
Never heard about Vince Gill before but he comes across as a humble, genuine, funny, guy.
The man has 22 Grammy Awards and 26 Country music awards..
If someone asked me who I would want to meet in person...I would first say God...but Vince would be my second. He is one of the nicest fellows along with his exceptional talent. I have never seen the Eagles live; however, they are my favorite band of all time and Vince compliments them so gracefully and I know Glenn is watching over all of them each night. God Bless
hey . thank you so much . where are you from ?
Our USS Badger reunion in Nashville involved us visiting the Grand Ole Opry. Vince was being inducted into the HOF that night. I'm a Rock and Roller. Not into country really but can appreciate talent. I'd go see Vince anytime, anywhere. He is the goods!
Amazing musician and humble man. "Go rest high" played at my mother's funeral. I had never heard song before and funeral director recommended. So glad he did.
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate Vince for doing his part to help keep the Eagles going and I’m sure Glenn is smiling down on them all. Can’t wait to see them live about a month from now!
Vince is a perfect fit for The Eagles. One of the rare folks who could have fit it from day one.
Still needs to do that “Wilbury” thing. It would be a mind-blower.
I agree James...Joe
@Hello James how are you doing
I was so fortunate to hear Vince live one time, and when he introduced John Hughey, you could feel Vince’s pride. A great show.
Vince's band at the Crossroads show absolutely floored me. As a guitar AND keys guy, both Vince and John Hobbs left my jaw on the floor.
Vimce has an absolutely BEAUTIFUL voice!
Just saw the Eagles in Baltimore with Vince. He was outstanding! Yes I miss Glen but Vince was fabulous too.
Great converstion with one of my favorite singers in this entire world. One of the most amazing players and singers in any business, plus he never sees himself as being as amazing as he really is. I'd listen to him sing and play as long as he could muster the strength to play and sing! Saw him in person only once - Roberts Stadium / Evansville, Ind. what a night. Never be another Vince Gill, we are fortunate to have lived on God's earth with him!! Amen!!!
Vince i world class and soo unknown over here in Europe before he joined Eagles, what stands out exept for his voice and guitar playing is his low profile and the humility he express.A real Crack!!
His songwriting speaks for itself, and I know he can burn up the fretboard when moved to, but his personality speaks VOLUMES as a man and musician. He's the perfect choice to join the Eagles. I mean, he's played with just about everyone else, so why not them too. God Bless Him.
When I first heard Vince,I was blown away,man he's one awesome singer,hitting them high notes as easy as he does it,just amazing,I love all his songs,I can do some of them but not all of them, He's a great man,I love him in Christ!
Poirot Love Song Tom Burke & Jaime Winstone th-cam.com/video/vxltvfUabsU/w-d-xo.html
The first time I heard of Vince Gill was when he played at the Crossroads concert. I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Great singer and even greater guitarist and a very down to earth and humble man.
I’ve seen the Eagles live with Vince in the lineup and he is one helluva singer and guitar player.
Vince Gill is the best! my favourite singer songwriter and guitarist. The best to fill that gap in The Eagles, still keeping his own style
Vince Gill's version of "I Can't Tell You Why" (which featured Tim Schmit - one of the Eagles as well as cowriter and original lead vocalist of the song) is right up there with the original.
I’ve been fortunate in my life to see the Eagles live over a dozen times. The last three times has been with Vince Gill and Deacon Fry. Still an incredible show. Vince Gill is such a natural with them. The Eagles are lucky to have him and he is lucky to be an Eagle. Saw them last night at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Still basking in the afterglow
Joe you have a talent for interviews. You know when to listen as well as when to prompt. Vince Gill has a thousand tales he can tell and he tells them all well. I enjoyed all three parts of his interview very much.
Thanks Jim... Joe
I agree 100%-- I never knew much about Vince Gill but I do now, thanks to Joe.
Indeed!! Let him tell the other story...we’ll get the one I wanted in a minute! Hope to visit the Museum next year!! Cheers Joe!
There really is no better interviewer, period.
Vince, you sing like an Angel (always did) and I LOVED hearing you /w the Eagles. Bonus!!!
I met him in Vegas after one of his shows it was just he and I after his show. He's a hero of mine and he really is the coolest guy on the planet. We talked guitars for awhile. I'll never forget that...
WOW that’s SO good.... “ hey kid, they quit playing Elvis, they’re gonna quit playing you” good stuff
Vince is the most humble person you could ever meet...
From an old New Mexico cowboy who thinks he knows country music and has spent a lifetime banging on my old Martin DH28, Vince Gill is one of my favorites.
Vince, if you see this.... just remember Derek Trucks too the Allman Brothers to new heights on the old songs. You're doing the same with the Eagles. And quite honestly, they are lucky to be playing with you as much or more as you are with them.
GREAT post Nitromessiah !
Love Derek Trucks.. and the Allman Brothers!
How beautiful to listen to two lovely people talking from the heart
When country music started going pop back in the late 80's, along came Vince Gill and a handful of others and saved it. Today country music is some sort of mesh of electronics and pop overload. As with most popular music, branding is more important then truth to the music. Vince was and is the real deal.
Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger and The Highwaymen.
Mary, I remember Vince from the early 70's
Thanks Mary
Vince is nothing less then the real deal inside and out… a super talent in my book. WOW! What a great interview thanks.
Ron, thank you for your kind words and support of the channel- I know it would have meant a lot to my dad, Joe.
Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
Best,
Britt
What a great interview. It's hard not to like Vince. Just honest, pleasant, and talented.
One of my fav musicians and singers. I've seen Vince probably 20 times live. He's a master of the art. And a truly humble guy. He and Ricky Skaggs are my 2 favorite performers.
Joe, I don't think even you know how much these interviews mean to real music lovers like myself , I get to see another side of the artist like Vince gill , which isn't really my favorite but then you opened up another platform to be looked at , I can't thank you enough , I'm hoping to visit the museum next year and I know that I will enjoy it, who knows, I may even bump into you , thanks again Joe
Hi Bruce... thank you for saying such nice things... hope to see you at the museum soon too... best... Joe
