Warner has such enthusiasm for music and guitar. I'm looking forward to a full interview. Thanks for this
I'll never forget seeing the Scorchers at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA circa 1988. With my elbows on the stage, a dude leaned in and was crushing a girl against a monitor, whereby Jason moved up and put a cowboy boot in the dudes mouth, and they never missed a beat. Warner, was, and is a wizard on the guitar. And best of all, he's a fan. I'd get just as big a thrill sitting down with him as he gets with Gibbons. Otis, thank you so much for pulling the curtains back for all of us. God bless you.
Great Comment!! 40 Watt Club!! Goooo Dawgs!!!!!… Peace,… Thanks Otis
Jason and the Scorchers. back in 1985 were THE southern rock band on the scene...( nobody seemed to realize REM were from Georgia😂)... I bought their first 45 and then from there and got into Dwight Yoakam and Steve earle's first records and then the Georgia Satellites came out it all seemed to make sense kid for a kid raised on Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers
Warner is a damned string monster himself. Listening to him and Gibbons jam would be incredible.
Speaking of famous Gibson guitars I had honor of playing one that may not be quite as well known as Billy's Pearly Gates or Page's No. 1 or Greenies 59 but it is still an iconic guitar . This one is Lonnie Mack's Serial number 7 Flying V with a Bigsby , bought new in 1958 and Lonnie's main instrument from day one til his passing in 2016. I am friends with his family and got a chance to plug it in and play a few chords . It's a heavy SoB , both literally and tone wise. Didn't have a Leslie cabinet or a Magnatone amp so I wasn't sounding like Lonnie but it was a pleasure to play that instrument. Thank you for the vids Otis . I've been turned on to a lot of musicians as a direct result of your vids and that's something I appreciate
I love this cat.Great stuff.He is right on time Billy's the Man.
You said it man! J.H.E. rocked & Billy must have been cool to hang out with !
I love Warner's joy and enthusiasm. Great storyteller.
another beautiful bit of insight and inspiration, as always, thank you for sharing. You're a unique soul, Otis... much ❤️ from Detroit
I was fortunate to meet Billy at The Underground bar in Nashville about a year ago,,,he talked to me like we were old friends,very very gracious man

Warner Hodges, Greg Martin and Kenny Vaughan all in the same room telling war stories....if that ain't a 6 part Otis 'Ken Burns' Gibbs award winning special , then I ain't 58, fat and ugly !
Werner is a monster and a huge influence. Need a full interview with him.
Legend!
I love the Hendrix touchdown done your good statement! J.H.E. was the sh-t.
I wasn't gonna comment on this, but I've noticed, Otis, that your coffee mug always reminds me of one of Billy's hats.😅
ha! damn Warner.... your enthusiasm is catching! Thanks so much.
Takes me back to 1979 Senior in High School cruising in my Chevy Luv with my under the dash 8 Track player blasting ZZ Top 😊😅
Blue Jean Blues.
That's all I got to say.
Some of the notes are near inaudible.
My son is good friends with a very famous rock singer songwriter who rented the top floor of a hotel in Vegas for his birthday bash a few years back all kinds of big names invited and my son said the one guy everyone was gathered around was Billy , he said it was the coolest thing he’d ever seen and that Billy was about a thousand times cooler than you could imagine he was 😀
Love his stories just as much as his band!
Duane Allman's LP
Duane Allman's Les Pauls (especially Hot Lanta) are noteworthy.
Marvelous!
His wife’s name is Gilly? I love that!
Cool cat!! Love it Otis....Rock On brother!!
He stopped by our local Walmart!
Moving Sidewalks was a great band, imo. I love Gibbons playing on that stuff.
Man I'd give an awful lot of money I don't currently have to get my hands on a Billy F Gibbons business card!
I've spent a lotta time doing a lotta things with W.E.H. These videos are doing my soul good. Billy is a beast, but so is Warner.
Jimmy Page's #1 Les Paul was given to him by Joe Walsh. Page played a Tele on the first Zep album and was looking for a LP but couldn't find one in Britain. They come to the states and do some shows with The James Gang and Joe hears Page's dilemma. Joe had two LP's at the time and gave Page his #2 LP. So Jimmy's #1 LP was Joe's #2 back in the day.
He,s a brand
When the impossible looks easy , it's usually Billy standing there.
Yeeeah
Thanks Warner for the "learning on an acoustic guitar makes you heavy handed" statement.
I have that same problem, strats, teles, are too delicate for me, only electric I can halfway play is my Gretsch.
Billy Gibbons on Desert Sessions album left me wanting him to collab much more with Josh Homme.
That's why I learned to play slide in standard tuning. If you get handed an unplayable guitar, pull out your glass noodle and play some blues. When the levee breaks always hits.
killing it men
l would love to run into billy gibbons at walmart...that would be the coolest thing ever. i saw a video of billy busking on the street in helsinki and it seemed that nobody recognized him. he looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself, not needing the attention...
The thing I love about Billy Gibbons, and he's def in my top ten, is that he's so fuckin tasty. His note choices are perfection.
I've always wondered about the Eliminator recording. Wikipedia claims Dusty Hill and Frank Beard's tracks were redone by the producer. That must have upset the band. But ZZ Top did have massive success with that album.
Warner sure has some good stories… For sure.! But hey Warner… Do you EVER calm down..?🤔😳🤣… All cool man..✌🏼❤️
If you have a minute do a search for some of the Eliminator tracks but put 'live' after them. They are way, way, way better songs than you might think. They sort of reeked of 80s production at the time, still do of course, but they're snappy little tracks. Rev G did a fine job getting back in the mainstream and cashing checks with that record, but the songs are better than most poeple think.
Great stories, as always. I relate to the squeezing too hard comments. I used medium strings in my D-28. It is like taking a vacation each year when I sub in my D-18 with light strings. It is even more of a (hand/finger) relief the rare time I play my Tele each year or two. Please keep the interesting stories coming. It's a highlight of my day.
Except for his tremendous talent, Warner is one of us. Thanks for sharing.
I love Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top. You don't need to sell him to me. But I love that other people love him too.
❤
The Gibster also makes a great set of......
😎 "7 gauge Strings" 🎸
toooo cooool
"Touchdown "
I like this dude
He's speaking the truth 100%
Thanks, that was great 🙂
Truly a big fan!
