I saw him live about 10 years ago with the conspirators. His solo was very, very special. I dont usually get down for that silly ego solo thing, but his was bbluesy and beautiful. Broke a string and kept on even when his roady's ran out on stage with a replacement axe. Slash said screw it, and hammered on.
The best hard rock acts have always had that blues core down in there somewhere, and Slash and G&R were no exception. Angus Young's style is largely Chuck Berry doing blues riffs with more attitude and volume than Chuck would have used, and AC/DC is arguably the biggest hard rock act of the last 40 years. Led Zeppelin was more than hard rock, but the core of their music came from blues as well. A Gibson Les Paul plugged into a stack of Marshalls was bluesy when Duane Allman did it 50 years ago and they still work today.

Nine months already!?..Damn: I have been working a minimum of 50 hrs per week and often 60,70 +, building a Nuke plant so we can all have affordable and consistent electricity..I have worked at this for over a year and am still at it..I remember Dusty's passing but it seems like only yesterday.
So awesome!! Yes Billy is awesome!! However, Slash is absolutely a class act in the fact that he too is a rock god but respects his elders and takes a step back and let’s him do their thing. Mad respect Slash mad respect!! I hope you’re around another hundred years!!
To my mind Gibbons is the single clearest influence you can hear in Slash's style. Listen to "Old Man" from ZZ Top's First Album and if, like me, you grew up listening to Slash, you won't believe it was recorded in 1971
Billy is so cool. That rhythm and his playing just has that groove you can feel. I remember when I was studying guitar at 9 years old with a jazz man. He told me that it doesn't have to be quick and many notes but you have to say something! When I think about my favorite blues and rock musicians I definitely know it to be true! Z Z top and Billy are masters at laying back a rhythm and I can listen to this stuff all night long.
I love the sound of the guitar and this song just is right for the Gibson and slash and Billy's playing is just truly amazing guitar playing. Love the song.
Great stuff. Loved it. Slash is all over the place. He may be the most underrated guitarist of my generation (gen x). Saw him live at Legend Valley when Appetite For Destruction came out and GnR blew up on MTV. They opened for Aerosmith, but the crowd was all bout GnR - they brought the energy. Great show.
you know its going to be amazing when these two are on the stage together! Am i the only person that is pretty impressed with Slash playing and smoking abilities? Rock and Roll!!!
This is because Frank Beard plays what is called a Ft. Worth Shuffle on the song. If you don't know what a Ft. Worth Shuffle is then learn it if you want to play authentic Texas (specifically North Texas Blues.) A Ft. worth Shuffle has the straight quarters played on the ride with the right hand and the shuffle played on the snare drum with the left hand. I have seen a bunch of pretty good drummers humbled when it came to playing this beat. With the Dallas/Ft. Worth area blues cats that I grew up playing with the ability to play this beat properly was a make it or break it deal.
The legends that are Billy and Slash speak for themselves, but can we give that drummer a shout-out? Keeping up with Billy's nuanced style can't be easy.
Awesomeness 💯 those hands fingers and badass all in a phenomenal package name Slash👍🏻♥️🙌🏻 wishes for many more more and that package of Brilliant Slash🎩🎸
That’s rock royalty and the fact that they are even together on stage makes me tingle all over!! Why isn’t the crowd going nuts? I just saw Slash and Myles Kennedy and the conspirators at Newcastle city hall which holds about 2000 people max and the place was absolutely rocking all night long lol I think the uk crowds are so much more enthusiastic than American ones. There was so much love in the room that night it was amazing!!! That’s the third time I’ve seen slash (velvet revolver and twice doing his solo thing. My guitar hero by a country mile!! So much so I have a les Paul on one arm and a tattoo of the man himself on my other forearm lol 🤘🎸😎🤘
Slash and Billy together make a whole lotta awesome music! Wow! But man, I Love those Sonor drums! That kick drum is awesome! Drummah is an animal! Can’t remember who it is. He bad ass.
Dam slash you killed it like you always do. Been a huge fan since the early 90s. So yeah... I was a child because I'm 42 and still driving the wife crazy with Slashes licks and jams...
I saw a short up here with Billy and slash and also John Meyer..slash played maybe 10 seconds and John had like 1 minute and the comments said John out played slash?? I was like no way.slash and Billy letting John even set in was generous.
There seems to be a conspicuous absence of heartfelt audience appreciation for Blue's Master Billy Gibson's guitar and vocal prowess. This speaks demonstrably to how thousands of people can be exposed to absolutely amazing music and still be totally incapable of realizing how truly profound it really is. This video should serve as eye opening epiphany for all of our life experiences. We often don't recognize a good thing in our lives till long after it's gone. Hopefully a few people from this audience will Google the Legendary Billy Gibbons and come to the realization that briefly hearing him perform just one song was well worth the price of admission to this concert venue!!!!🤔🎶🎸
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year wishing you guys rooooock for the next hundred years more because.. that's what fans are for. My greatest satisfaction is to see you guys busy having fun performing and entertain us fans yeah, heavenly bliss indeed ❤🎉❤never stop believe in

Sos un pilar en mí vida. Cuando quise que TODO termine tu música apareció en mí cabeza para hacerme pensar. Gracias Slash por tanto ♥🎩
I want a birthday 🎉 party like that 🥳
Is Billy the father of Bad Temper Joe?
you know you're good when Slash plays rhythm for you
No doubt!
Dame whit Angus Young!
Ya but sounded alot better when he switched to rhythm for slash
Yesssir
Fr tho
cudos to Billy for going up there with slash.....2 different animals...but i love them both for their work......cheers
Both of these guys can jam with ANYONE
This kicked ass. Slash sounds sooooo good doing heavy blues. I wouldn't at all mind seeing him do a lot more of it
He's a blues based rocker. Check out his older solo stuff
I saw him live about 10 years ago with the conspirators. His solo was very, very special. I dont usually get down for that silly ego solo thing, but his was bbluesy and beautiful. Broke a string and kept on even when his roady's ran out on stage with a replacement axe. Slash said screw it, and hammered on.
If you listen to a lot of Slash's riffs, you can tell its blues influenced.

Its so nice to see two bigs legends playing together
What's amazing about Slash is that he can play with anyone because he's that quality musician, he's one of the best and can sit with the best
@@davidphillips57 looks like he needs to do less sitting and more jogging around the block.
Gibbons is one KOOL cat. And Slash playing rhythm is total respect and awesome
2 legends on the stage doing a classic Top song. Incredible.
I love Slash and his playing, but Billy Gibbons is the man!
@Mario Martin Martinez no he is a guitar god
I'll give Slash this much, he idolized Rory Gallagher. The G-man and Gibbons are on an entirely different level.
@gnr783 do some more homework
@@chrisfamoo5729 Rory for sure man, unreal!
slash could be his guitar tech
So awesome!! Yes Billy is awesome!! However, Slash is absolutely a class act in the fact that he too is a rock god but respects his elders and takes a step back and let’s him do their thing. Mad respect Slash mad respect!! I hope you’re around another hundred years!!
Him and Keith Richards will get along just fine°°
To my mind Gibbons is the single clearest influence you can hear in Slash's style. Listen to "Old Man" from ZZ Top's First Album and if, like me, you grew up listening to Slash, you won't believe it was recorded in 1971
Slash has a few missteps at the beginning but then gets his groove on
Rev Billy G and Slash are both in my top 5 all time. Wow, I could watch that all day. Rock legends.
Cheers from La Grange, Texas.
Even 7 years later it's still a treat to watch them both play!
Billy is so cool. That rhythm and his playing just has that groove you can feel. I remember when I was studying guitar at 9 years old with a jazz man.

RIP. God's peace for your family Dusty Hill. . THANK YOU ZZtop for great wonderful music. My first vinyl in 9th grade 1975 ZZTop.
you know its going to be amazing when these two are on the stage together! Am i the only person that is pretty impressed with Slash playing and smoking abilities? Rock and Roll!!!
Would have L O V E D to have seen this show live...awesome!
Hell yeah. Guitar legends. The great billy gibbons the innovator. Funky desert blues with a growl
When you watch this, you actually realise how awesome a drummer Frank Beard is and what he brings to this song, just not the same
This is because Frank Beard plays what is called a Ft. Worth Shuffle on the song. If you don't know what a Ft. Worth Shuffle is then learn it if you want to play authentic Texas (specifically North Texas Blues.)

@@dbbubba1 er, that's what I meant but thank you for kindly pointing it out to me..............
@@dbbubba1 the guy on this videoo is playing the same rythm you just can't hear it properly because of poor sound quality.
Thinking the exact same thing!
Izzat Tommy Clufetos?
If you combined BIlly Gibbons' beard and Slash's hair on one person you'd probably have the Flyers mascot Gritty.
Or Cousin It...lol
Now that's funny right there!!
2 of the great rock and roll guitar players in the world
Now that's Rock n Roll Billy And Slash making them Les Paul's talking
Wild Bill...
Timeless boogie! Holy chit~man!
Causes limbs to go crazy!
Music; the remedy to all ailments!!!
Thank ye, Gents!
Wow, what a drummer! I love his passion, he's so cool!
Would you like to hold drummer's stick?
I thin it's Tommy Clufetos
He must be realy brave to play with thoese two legends
Dobro primeceno !

Might be my favorite slash performance ever! Consider my mind blown
Slash 🎩 is the last of my musical 🎶🎵 heroes that is still here in "this" life .... 🔥🔥🔥
Slash was on fire🔥🔥 he sounds too perfect.
LOL, Just saw the Les Paul/Billy Gibbons video and Slash needs to learn one more chord to keep up with Billy! Loved it.

I’m just grateful to have been able to see Billy and Slash shred together. What a fucking jam session. Happy belated birthday Slash! 🎸🎵🎶❤️
i've heard other musicians play this song with billy before - this is one of the best- slash can jam with the best of them.
Great solos by two of my favorite guitar slingers !
so sick, this crystal generation will never know about the good music
I'm glad my dad raised me on this.
The best i have ever heard from theses guys , well done 👍. Great lead Duo a go go El dango and.....

Fucking A dude. Better believe it!

Good duet 🎸 gracias.

Wen slash hits his mark he is simply HTO and blows everyone out of it.. A treat every time.... Original always
Legends....on stage..i miss❤✊🇩🇪

Two absolute guitar legends right there!
Billy Gibbons is. Who's the other?

Nothing better than a collaboration between icons!
Love Gibbons style. Slash also has a nasty RNR sound ya gotta love

How cool is that. Billy Gibbons and others show up and jam with Slash.
unreal talent never be toped
You mean sladh right?

Great artist and a great video. 😎👍🎸🎸
Good music is timeless. #RTFO 🤘🎸🎙🥁

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Didn't hear anyone cheer when Slash first mentions Billy's name.
La primera cosa que note. Crowd sucks from start to finish.
It more likely that, for some reason, the sound guy just kept the crowd mic volume too low on the mix. Btw, the whole thing is poorly mixed.
