I feel protective of green shirt guy. I love him. He cracks me up, just standing there 😂
I love how he is clowning it up at first and then the lyrics GRAB him and his attention!
love how off beat he is, really makes the vid
I played guitar unusually well when I was in high school - not so great anymore - and had a good 8-10 months of hanging around with wasted friends. This is the EXACT vibe, and is why I love this particular video so much. I know a version of green shirt dude. And he was AWESOME. He was funny as hell and made fun of everything, but would also get into it and be your biggest supporter. I recognize all of these people and love them. They make the video. And if you are playing and your friends are hooting and hollering, it is the absolute BEST feeling in the world.
Anyone who has partied in their teens and early twenties during the late 90’s and early 2000’s knows that guy or actually were him
He still ain't lit that cigarette
Billy has a full blown career and welcome. I am seeing him in October, and his whole band is tops. Where to go from here? Turmoil and Tinfoil live at Music City Roots. Enjoy.
Thanks for the suggestion! Much appreciated.
A bit of a recap....
Billy Strings (William Apostol) won a grammy in 2021 and two more in 2022 (album, album, roots performance)
Billy Strings and his bluegrass band opened for Metalica at Lollapalooza in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.
Played with pretty much all of his heros who are still alive now.
Sold out every show since COVID opened back up and probably a year before that.
WOW! I'm psyched to hear that! He deserves it. Awesome talent.
@@InsomniacReacts For what's next, I can't disagree with "Turmoil and Tinfoil' Live from Music City roots... but I would like to point out one video I can tell you would really enjoy whether you react to it or not. Check out a couple of other Billy Strings videos first, but then check out "Billy Stirngs and Tommy Emmanuel" at Grey Fox 2019 - (Says 2020 in the description but it's off) . You can tell Tommy didn't really know who Billy was for sure yet, this is the first time they meet. ... this is the the long version of the video out there th-cam.com/video/zO8IwPbALK4/w-d-xo.html
The story here is that Billy was appointed to "new artis of the year' or something and was given the assignemnt of sitting in with every single band that performed. this was right around his break out and pushed that along but some of the groups really didn't know much of anything about him, and he walks up and plays with them unrehearsed, cold. In this video you can see Tommy telling Billy what song they will play and what key it is in .. and Tommy asks if he has a pick-up in his guitar - this is stone cold raw off the cuff.
Don't slag the eternal hero in the back. It's you, it's me, it's everyone else watching this for free. Admit that it wouldn't be half as good without our friendly toker riding along barefoot keeping time.
This is Billy Strings way before he became known.
Cheers 🍺
I would have enjoyed it 400% more if that jacka$$ wasn't in the shot.
Apparently from the comments on the video is the Green shirt guy is like the town mooch that never wears shoes and only ever has two cigarettes
LOL makes sense
He stand there the whole time LOL. Green shirt guy is enthralled.
Green Shirt guy is the subject of most of the comments on that video if I remember correctly. I second the opinion of checking out Turmoil and Tinfoil at Music City Roots.
I can see why! lol And thanks for the suggestions!
Legend has it "Green Shirt" guy is still standing there awaiting a light.
Definitely do the "Turmoil and Tinfoil" (Music City Roots) video that one is the best. My other favorites are "Love & Regret" and "Wargasm" you can find official videos for those, I think.
Green Shirt guy is a legend.
I get the guy in the background. You live like this every day and it's just part of the world. I have old videos of talented friends playing with people talking in the background and drunk friends trying to sing along.
My guy went from the basement of some random party to the Grand Ole Opry, playing this song with a full band. And everyone's known a Green Shirt Guy or been too high/too drunk to realize you're out of your depth. :D
Glad you understood Billy, disappointed you didn't understand the genius of the green shirt dude.
That guitar never gets put away wet, he’s got some magic fingers for sure!
Nah the guy in the background makes the video so much better
Out of all his versions of this song this is my favorite version of Billy Strings, love this song and his song The Preacher & The Bear, same clothes, same couch, no guy in green shirt even though I love what he brings to this video
Billy Strings has come a long way since this viral video from his goofy friend's basement. Turmoil and Tinfoil live from Music City Roots is the next song you should review and then move on to Meet Me at the Creek, Taking Water, Heartbeat of America, Watch It Fall (official video is amazing), Hide & Seek, Love & Regret, In the Morning Light, and my personal favorite, Away From the Mire.
Alright! So every song he's ever done. Got it.
@@InsomniacReacts just do away from the mire. While everything else might have an emotional feel, and so does away from the mire, this song just shows Billy at his best. No offical video unfortunately, but there is an animated video which is pretty dope.
The best version of Away From the Mire is the one he played at Lollapalooza 2022 when he opened for Metallica. There's a TH-cam video available of the entire 1 hour set. Away From the Mire starts at about 4:50 into the video. Billy always plays his best live and so does his band.
@@InsomniacReacts "Every song he's ever done"... for most artists a list like that maybe... Billy never plays the same set list. He and every member of the band can play thousands of blue-grass and country standards and do amazing improvisations. Even with his own songs, Billy already has a deep repertoire. AND like the Gratefull Dead they often change songs up and fans have their favorite performances.
You can dip your toes... but Billy Strings is a DEEEEEP dive... basically Billy is the whole history of Country Music gathering the threads of tradition from Doc Watson to the Grateful Dead and wrapping into a package of an under 30 year old.
He has a section in the country music hall of fame here in Nashville. I tried to see him last year at a small venue and resell tickets were going for $400+. Needless to say i didn’t get to see him lol
Billy is s beast...
Try Summertime with Billy and Marcus King or Turmoil and Tinfoil
Appreciate the suggestions Joel!
Great tune and nice intro to Marcus at Carters vintage guitars.
That’s a fun song. I like it.
Yeah it's pretty fantastic lol
This is from 10 years ago he's a party Billy's on Willy Nelsons Outlaw tour at the moment,and just won artist of the Year a the American Music Awards to go along with his IBMA awards and Grammy awards.yeah hes still playing only to sold out shows now.
And, per an article I read a couple of days ago, will now be booked in arenas. He quickly sells out all seats virtually everywhere he performs. I started watching him about 3 years ago. Wasn't a real fan of bluegrass, but I LOVE talent and Billy has super skills in multiple realms: songwriting, singing, performing, generosity and string wizardry. He's amazing.
It's a shame the background guy does not party in a basement to this guy's liking. We all need to learn how to do things the way this guy wants.
I died laughing at the deadass with the yankee hat
Your comments on stoned dude are hilarious. BTW- I love "Mr" Strings!!! Billy is amazing.
Legend has it that Boz still hasn't lit tat cig. The guy yellin and whistling is his dad. A bluegrass picker from Michigan. When I think Bluegrass I think Michigan.
This was very enjoyable for me. Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. As you may have already discovered, he does have a career, real videos and a tour (he may have just completed it.). This video was how I discovered him after it was suggested at the end of a video I was watching of a women playing the hell out of some spoons. (That's for another day, lol). Anyways, I recommend Turmoil and Tinfoil to listen to next by him if your interested. He's accompanied by a banjo, large bass? And a couple other guitar players.
🤘💀🤘 RHEC
Badass! Really happy to hear that he's doing what he does best. Good stuff. And thanks for the additional suggestion!
He is HUGE now. Won a Grammy. Touring all over. Please react to Turmoil and Tinfoil with his band. At Roots. Live version. He has lots of music!
I'm seeing him play live in December. I'm very excited and I'm a Grandad.
Awesome! Enjoy the show! And congrats..
That guy on the left has more fans than you , there are 1000s of stickers of that dude...lol
"This is really good" Well no crap. Billy is a grammy winning artist.
Billy strings one of the best flat pickers out there , is changing blue grass but keeping the foundation I have been a fan for five years now and will be for life #jamgrass4life
he is the son of the legendary terry barber btw ^^
So I am curious what your thoughts are now that you have undoubtedly learned more about Billy and his music career. I will be in attendance at his show at The Amp next month.
Watch him play some electric with Bill Kreutzmann from the grateful dead. Look up Grateful Mahalo especially the China cat into Thunder recording. Robert hunter left some lyrics to Bill when he died and Bill gave the Lyrics of Thunder to billy to write a song that they initially played at that gathering for bills birthday.
This is shortly before he “made it big”
The best part of this video is you just flaming the guy on the left
I'm glad somebody enjoyed it LOL
HaHaHa... green shirt guy is the plug!! Also and I promise you will not be disappointed... go check out Billy Strings from last weekend! There's a bunch on TH-cam and fr... 60 year old deadhead; I know jams☮🌺✌🏼
Billy is a beast you should check out his simple man version, I haven’t heard a bad song yet from him
Thanks for the suggestion!
They were high on shrooms when this was made
guy on the left is lit. if you actually blazed , you would stop paying attention too him. he want's to burn another but is so in too the music and is having a good time. chill out demo!
I'm not a clown and have responsibilities, so...
I can’t believe you have never seen this
Believe it, Clinton lol
Never disrespect Billy or green shirt guy
Do Electric Callboy "Hurrikan" please.
That’s Barefoot Ben, put some respect on his name! And they’re on shrooms, give them a break lol
The ""INSOMNIAC" on your headphones in the background isn't centered correctly.
TH-cam isn't a good place for people with OCD.
shorts guy is an essential part of the video my dude...........................
Come on . The Green Shirt Guy, he’s the most famous stoner is these here hills.
I'm going to ignore the person reacting that destroys reactions with his ridiculous pausing.
