@@justaname2422 I saw Derek and Trey. I think I missed Billy. Checking it out. Just to expand more, when I saw him in St Louis, he started the show with a Nelly cover jam. Talks about Charlie Parker and plays with tool. Coolest guy in the world.
Don’t forget the guy recording this was risking being thrown out of this show with no warning. Tool doesn’t play with cell phones at shows. The guy that recorded this is a legend
About 10 or 11 years ago I was watching Billy play in the living room of a Bed and Breakfast in Little Lake, MI. There were maybe two dozen people there at most.
What?! Billy was playing with Tool?! I caught Billy’s show the night before and it was INCREDIBLE! I was wishing I had TOOL tickets as well. Both are my favorite! Thanks for posting this
Wow starting at the top good work! you’ll compare a lot of bands to this show and you’ll grow to appreciate tool even more lol. On a good night they’re the best live rock band in the world and I’ve seen em all.
Lucky kid. My first show was disturbed and mudvayne with two lesser known opening acts in like 2001....Some dude let me hit a laced joint during Mudvayne and I passed out and had to be carried out, I watched Disturbed from the sideline and a security guard gave me his beer I must have been like 15
Ok so I feel a tad guilty watching this, as Tool are neurotic about recordings…buuuuuut… when I was in my 20’s I played Tool for my dad, when he was driving me back to school. He rocked out. Amazing memory. Now, my dad is in LOVE with Billy Strings. So when I forward this video to him, our past selves and our currents selves get a rad bonding moment again. Also, this man will always have one of the best singing voices in the world.🎉
Nah don’t feel guilty. Some people will only get to experience it through this way. I could be wrong but I feel like they probably don’t care as much now about recordings. When they first made that rule, it had been years since they released an album, brand new tour and new songs, and off the cusp of Covid 19 / quarantine it was just a wild time. I feel like by now, the mysticism of the new release/ new songs has settled enough that people should just be allowed to record. But then again, look at me being entitled lol. ✌️
I love watching from 3:55. Billy's doing the amazing "Cliff Burton Headbanging", that only Cliff in Metallica was known for (RIP Cliff!). Then a great solo, followed by the very cool dual leads!👍💯🔥🔥🔥🎶✌️
@@Marshall_Stacks cause it sucks to be at concert where everyone is filming. They allow the last song to be filmed, so people can walk away with some memories.
What's really cool is that Tool is one of the few bands you can play in the background during a podcast, without owing the band money (unlike almost all others). I used to watch "The Weed Nerds" w/Subcool, and he would always play Tool the entire time. These guys definitely aren't greedy, for sure! I think they just want fans focusing on why they're there. To experience Tool, and the phones are distracting from this. Plus, I'm thinking Maynard really hates it when everyone has their phone out. And if you want to look at your phone, you won't see Maynard. Maybe that's why he's always so high up there..?!🤔😄😄😄✌️
MONUMENTAL. So glad to see other amazing artists appreciate and contribute to Tool's music, and get to take part in it. I loved the harmonizing with Adam after Adam's part!!!
I love that you took the risk of getting kicked out of a TOOL show, to get this video of Billy!! Thanks so much! I would have died if I was there🖤 Two of my favs on one stage!!
Watching this as a huge fan of both Billy and how far he has come, and of course Tool. Every hair is standing up watching this, bloody hell!! Cheers boys!!
@@mattgannon I was there. Maynard introduced him. Pretty brief intro. I had also seen Billy Strings the previous night. It was a great two days of concerts!
I was at this show, first time seeing tool. I’ve been listening to them since they released there first CD but I’ve never been able to make it to one of there shows until this one. I’d have to say it was the best concert I’ve been to.
@LSUOdyssey did they ever introduce him or say anything? Curious. Goddamn I'm jealous btw. Seen tool live once. Loved them since high school. Saw Billy live this weekend
I have to wonder how many people at this show knew who Billy was. Loved Tool since the beginning and if I was there?! I’d have lost my ever loving Gen X mind!
Just when I thought it wasn't possible to like either Tool or Billy Strings more than I already do, I get to see them both together onstage! Incredible!🤩
The crowd must have all been sedated to have sat there so calmly while witnessing this. Also hats off to Adam for yielding the stage a bit. And Danny's little improvisations in response to Billy's different guitar solo are nice.
So tool are freaking badasses as we all know. But BMFS is currently the undeniable most wanted mofo in all of music. There r 2 lists, one containing those who have already played with him wether it be on his stage or theirs. And the second list is all those who are anxiously awaiting their turn to jam with the omnipotent BILLY MOTHER FUKIN STRINGS. And that list is long and getting longer every day. And if ya don't know it his whole band are all truly gifted musicians. The music being made lately by all sorts of musicians is top notch, I feel blessed being 62 yo and experiencing all the great classic rock then the metal years followed by realizing I'm a DEADHEAD and immersing myself in all the freaking jam bands I could and finally getting bit by the bluegrass bug. I think 1961 was a terrific year to be born if you live for MUSIC "Just saying"
imagine how all is growing up in Michigan have felt for the last 20 years. my wife used to leave early on the nights Billy played because it was always a late night. The Best Coast has the best music and i will fight anyone that says otherwise!!!
Born 70, went hair bands to a variety, Widespread, Phish, GD NYE got me to Bela Fleck got me to NGR got me to CO & 20 years of the Telluride BG fest. Now all these GD shows on the YT with video and full SBD audio, and Billy MF Strings with everybody! What a long strange trip it is!✌️
Bonnaroo 2022 Billy played right before Tool Saturday night on the same stage. He jokingly said “let me hurry tf up before Maynard comes out here and skull punts my face”
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT FOR 15 FUCKING YEARS! how would tool sound with a lead guitarist! insane! thank you for filming the whole song, Legendary!
I'm in no way a bluegrass fan, so i'd only ever heard the name Billy Strings before my dad invited me to a show of his. Let me tell you, he's so much more than a bluegrass picket live, too. There were some seriously heavy parts in his set that had me headbanging. Dude's incredible.
I can see them appreciating each other but wow did it surprise me to see your title. We used to wake up hung and early every Saturday morning at our band house to watch Jambi on Pee-Wee
I went to this concert tbh tickets were expensive as hell but it was worth seeing Billy play with tool was a surprise the whole concert was awesome though
Tool doesn't let just anyone "jam". They know the raw talent & precise expertise of Billy Strings is otherworldly.
Who plays with Willie Nelson, Derek Trucks, and Tool? Billy doing the Lord's work
Don’t forget he’s played with Post Malone too! Side nite, Billy’s cover of AIC’s Nutshell is badass too
Also recording an album with Les Claypool
Don’t forget about him playing with Trey Anastasio! God damn Billy is incredibly talented.
@@justaname2422 I saw Derek and Trey. I think I missed Billy. Checking it out. Just to expand more, when I saw him in St Louis, he started the show with a Nelly cover jam. Talks about Charlie Parker and plays with tool. Coolest guy in the world.
Bob weir Trey
This is like the first time peanut met jelly.
:)
😂
This gave me serious FOMO!
Now i really want a cover of vicarious by billy / watch it fall by tool
Good band name idea
Don’t forget the guy recording this was risking being thrown out of this show with no warning. Tool doesn’t play with cell phones at shows. The guy that recorded this is a legend
The most hilarious part about it is during Billy's set at Bonnaroo Danny Carey is front rail center filming with his phone lmao
Hail the Legend!
Gotta turn that brightness all the way down!
I was there. Maynard allowed us to record their last song, Invincible 😅.
@@tybot1980 That's pretty fucken cool!
Wow I never expected a billy sit in. He literally is everywhere. Definitely added a new sonic layer to Jambi that I’ve never heard before.
Facts
Everyone's on something here

About 10 or 11 years ago I was watching Billy play in the living room of a Bed and Breakfast in Little Lake, MI. There were maybe two dozen people there at most.
Good musicians appreciate his musicianship. Everyone respects Billy and Billy respects everyone ❤
Awesome Tool needs to do a Metal version of DUST IN A BAGGIE ! THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOOL STYLE. METAL 1ON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
What?! Billy was playing with Tool?! I caught Billy’s show the night before and it was INCREDIBLE! I was wishing I had TOOL tickets as well. Both are my favorite! Thanks for posting this
Finally! I've always said that Tool is jam band music for metal heads 🤘💥
Tool was my Gateway to Jam. Where I found The Disco Biscuits. B4L!
Absolutely!
Except tool stopped jamming at their shows after the Lateralus era...
@@ileutur6863 truth
Now Elder is the jam band for metal heads, and they are going to be opening for Tool
I went to see this as the first concert I had ever been to. I am glad to say that it was life changing. THERE WERE SO MANY LAZERS!
What a way to start your concert journey! 🖤🤘🏻
Wow starting at the top good work! you’ll compare a lot of bands to this show and you’ll grow to appreciate tool even more lol. On a good night they’re the best live rock band in the world and I’ve seen em all.

@@AxiomApe maynard is still a dick about it
Wow! You caught a great moment in music history. Thanks for sharing
I can't believe I was there for that. People are going to be talking about this show for decades
Me too!! Blown away… best thing, it started a 9 show run. SLC to Vancouver, and the best road trip ever!!!! 🌀🌀🌀
I'm so glad someone recorded this! I love Billy Strings so much, and when he came out last night I lost my shit. So amazing!!!
Me too - can not believe this! Thought I was the only Tool fan that also loves Billy
Me too - can not believe this! Thought I was the only Tool fan that also loves Billy
Greatness recognizes greatness.
4:00 for anyone that wants to keep replaying Billys solo. That is so sick.

Then a great solo, followed by the very cool dual leads!👍💯🔥🔥🔥🎶✌️
Absolutely amazing. NOONE jams with TOOL. This kid can seriously play, what a talent!!
Great job recording this 💥🔥👊👏😃🤯
For real, they risked it all for us.
@@johnb5713 Why does Tool have this Gestapo weirdness? I wouldn't have known about any of this without some clips on UA-cam and now I'm stoked.
@@Marshall_Stacks cause it sucks to be at concert where everyone is filming. They allow the last song to be filmed, so people can walk away with some memories.
I always take 30 second clips share on my feed I’ve never recorded a full song

I was there for this. He sounded amazing with Tool. It really added a cool dynamic to the song
Must have been awesome there. I’m curious if and how he was introduced.
@@mattgannon I was there. Maynard introduced him. Pretty brief intro. I had also seen Billy Strings the previous night. It was a great two days of concerts!
so fricking amazing! what a dream come true that must have been for Strings and what a gift to the Tool community!
This is what I live for. Thank you so much for posting. What a killer matchup.
This is like a dream where everything in my mind meld together and I know it’s not reality 🔥🤯
This band never gets old.
Holy shit what a performance by Billy, Rock and Roll!!!!!
That kicked major ass. Reminds me of how the jam scene used to be. People dropping in. Thanks for posting.
It's still very much like that. In fact maybe more so than ever.👍
Awesome show! Loved every second of it.
I was at this show, first time seeing tool. I’ve been listening to them since they released there first CD but I’ve never been able to make it to one of there shows until this one. I’d have to say it was the best concert I’ve been to.
Billy: I guess I can check Tool off my bucket list.
The last of the great performers right there.
Best Jambi ever
And I was there!
Right up there with Richie Faulkner for sure
Best concert ever
@LSUOdyssey did they ever introduce him or say anything? Curious. Goddamn I'm jealous btw. Seen tool live once. Loved them since high school. Saw Billy live this weekend
@@lesclaypoolonbass9431 Maynard said “ Billy strings” simple quick and quite a surprise
I was too into the show to think of recording this haha. What a killer performance last night. Thanks for sharing
As you should be. Always plenty of YT recording to go back and watch. Enjoy the moment and keep your phone in your pocket.
Just saw them last week and was an amazing show. Really glad someone was able to capture this as I’m a big fan of Billy as well. Such a cool moment 🙏🏾
This might be the most beautiful sound ever.
Wow that Billy blew me away, great recording!
Split open and melt.
Had no idea what to expect from the title of this vid, but that Strings guy is aptly named!
Big balls to get on that stage!
Go Billy
I didn't think TOOL could really be experimented with in a way that added to it, but Billy's amazing talent proved me wrong.
Holy shit I need more Billy strings with TOOL 🔥 wow
TOOL + BMFS = 🤯
Now we just need Les!
Mind blown ❤ would like to hear Billy cover forty six ×2
Wow!! This was phenomenal 🤟🤩 Billy Strings brought in a great soli for Jambi, too bad he's not doing the whole tour!
Ahhhhh yeah sick AF!!!! I love when badass musicians put their spin on badass songs. What a lucky crowd
This is so much fun.
I listened.
I shared.
I listened AGAIN!
A bluegrass legend so talented nobody can deny his ability
I have to wonder how many people at this show knew who Billy was. Loved Tool since the beginning and if I was there?! I’d have lost my ever loving Gen X mind!
A lot more than you think
Just when I thought it wasn't possible to like either Tool or Billy Strings more than I already do, I get to see them both together onstage! Incredible!🤩

It's the musical version of a sitcom crossover of my two favorite shows.
Tool just doesn't let anyone come up and Jambi!
a really good jambi live performance. felt a lot of passion from this, tool at their best
The uploader is a hero. I was there an saw 3 people sitting close to me get kicked out for filming. No warning. Nothing.
Thanks for sharing!!
that was wild, killer solo from Billy
Holy shit, this is awesome! Seeing Billy tomorrow night!
Omg 😳 BMFS
Dust In A Jambi
My man out here living the dream. Congrats.
fuck yeah! about time tool did something cool like this lol
Jambi is one of my all time favorite songs, but this Billy Strings crossover made me shit my pants in the best, messiest way. So fucking cool
Haaaa, you win the internet today!!!
I was there,, such a great show!!!
I’ve seen Kirk Hammett w tool in Hawaii but this is even cooler
Billy’s headbanging is apropos
Anyone notice Adam’s monitors vs Justin’s , he needs every bit of feedback and fuck do we love it
3:48 Let the games begin BMFS
Didn’t see this one coming 🔥
WTF!!! What a time to be ALIVE!!! Never would have imagined this coming. Adam! Watch your back! LOL
Awesome
The young man is so much more than a bluegrass picker!!! This kicked major ass!
Srsly

That was awesome!
Whoa, Sick as it Gets! 🌀🔧🌀🔧
Thanks for posting!👊🤘
Seeing them in a couple weeks. Can't wait, its been 21 years since seen 'em last.
All is right in the world

This is a perfect example of why less is more.

Wow! that was outstanding!
Phenomenal and unexpected collaboration 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much for getting this! Major FOMO over here in FL!
Billy!!!!!!
Fuck yes! This is unreal!
I haven’t seen tool in 17 years. Luckily they’re coming here to New Hampshire in like a month so I am ecstatic.
This made my day. 🤘🏼
Now that's a collab for the ages!!
