[@Monica-gu2wx]

I met BB backstage, many moons ago, at a gig my pop, Butch Trivette played in New Orleans . I walked in, and he and Pop were playing penny poker before the show.. Pop was the opening act. He introduced me to BB, who very eloquently, praised my pop's musical talent, and congratulated us both on Pop's recent Grammy nominations. Then he asked me if I played Poker (I did actually) and he asked me to join the game. I was so nervous, I sipped a bit of Pop's Southern Comfort and ended up running the table. You see, Pop had done his job at teaching me to play Poker (as well as pool) a looonngg time back, as he claimed musicians daughters should know these things. Pop was tickled (and well on his way to pickled) as I slipped another sip of his whiskey, then made him take it easy before his set. Work first, Whiskey later! Pop sulked a bit, but BB was impressed with my Poker skills and possibly, in hopes of helping to get Pop's mind elsewhere (coz he COULD be a handful!) BB ended up throwing me a 14k gold chain in the poker pot. I was so stoked!! Several years later, a male friend and I traveled from our home state of Georgia, to the Florida Theatre to see BB. He seemed to almost recognize me from the stage,and smiled that big, wonderful grin of his. I was just a few feet away and feeling all warm and fuzzy about it, as he threw another gold necklace out to me, then proceeded to throw 'em out to SEVERAL females. We were all so stoked!!! My friend told me on the way home, that BB did that often. It was a "BB thing." I thought it was probably the coolest (and quite expensive!) "gimmicks" I'd ever heard of. Though I wore those chains proudly for many years, I unfortunately, misplaced them or perhaps, sadly, lost them, over many years of life as a crazy, but magically-talented musician's daughter. But they'll be forever tucked away with the rest of my coolest memories of the adventures of Pop and I over the years. I learned a lot from him, and laughed a lot too. And that's worth more than all the gold in the world to me! 💛

[@DrMurdercock]

BB was special man. The players player. The God of Gods. A God Amongst us Mere Mortals. Not many players can claim that title. BB was one of them though.

I love all the other musicians, but Slash was by far the most respectful, humble, lifesaver of this jam.

[@fenderstratguy]

Slash is so cool and so respectful. I saw SRV live with BB also and Stevie Ray was the same way. Volume down. Eyes down. Standing a few steps behind BB at all times. Never daring to show off, in any way, shape or form, out of respect for the Master. Slash never showed off. He knew BB was struggling and clearly frustrated with himself and still had to be prodded to take any of BB's spotlight.

[@mysty042]

:) Makes me like Slash even more. This was toward the end of B.B.'s journey in this life. I am glad he showed respect.

It's a long story but in short, literally as she was on her way to collect us to take us back to Axl's hotel room for the post-party (where the real parties apparently go on), venue security kicked us out because they thought the band had left already. It is simultaneously the best and worst story ever. 🤣 I did get to meet Axl a few months later though during his tour with AC/DC and he was really nice, and I met Duff.

What so great about the blues? The same over and over and over. Any blues sound the same, doesn't they? Well, the blues has a beat that comes so close to the heartbeat of your mother, you laying there in the uterus, growing, waiting for that great exit in pain, the entrance to this beautiful world, full of pleasure as well of great horrors. Now, the lyrics, all about seduction and deceit producing the "blues" in us. There's so much simple truth in those lyrics that the blues turns irresistible. The "blues" guitar riffs are nothing more than an adornment framing the words of the lyrics that everybody should hang on the wall in their dwellings. #bbking #slash #blues

[@geralddutcher1191]

+Anakin Skywalker AMEN to A MASTER, and NOT a DIRTY OLD MAN !!!!!!

[@jrbch8356]

+Anakin Skywalker Fuck him.

[@andrewince8824]

3 Gibsons, An SG, a Les Paul and BB's personal "Lucille" ES-335. 2 Fender, a strat and a tele. An Ibanez BTB bass in the background. All beautiful instruments but it's the musicians behind them that make you feel. Each ne knows how their instrument behaves and each one brings out the best in that instrument. The greatest blues jam I've ever heard.

[@ParmarSkates]

+Andrew Ince Check out the SRV, Albert King, BB King, Clapton jam, that one was great

[@aubreymartin435]

Let's all understand something, blues isn't meant for showing off your chops. It wasn't created to play your fastest or to out do one another. It was created to ease pain, to vent your frustrations, to give you an outlet for your emotions. These guys aren't up there to to out do one another. They are there to put their emotions into notes. Slash could have thrown a pedal onto the floor and grabbed his sig Marshall and wah and shredded his 24 bars, but no what he did was this soft beautiful melodical arrangement of notes that served his particular needs. BB is a 4 note man. He usually expresses himself in for notes or less. This wasn't a competition, but a complimentary bout. Who could show more respect and compliment one of the fathers of blues the best. If this were a speed thing, then go get Yngwie. Stop dissing these musicians by saying "so and so kicked so and so's butt". This isn't about that at all.

Best comment i have ever seen.

[@mikithebestguitaristever2511]

[@darkarea20]

Miki TheBestGuitaristEver u r right

[@WICCANWARRIOR8]

how can any one not be humbled to sing and play with the mighty BB King ?

[@Idiotresponsibly]

I love how B.B. reminded Derek what key they were soloing in and then when Derek went too far he cleanly cut in to keep him in check

[@squawrainbow]
