[@Tusitala1967]

It's nice to see people coming together to melt faces.

[@samthompson2269]

Was there right in the front row… right in front of Billy and Adam!!! Absolutely amazing!

[@ryano2520]

Did they mention how this happened? Like who decided to do this...Tool or Billy? How did they introduce him?

[@clevelandtyler2]

I’m fucking jelly bro. Congrats that must’ve been awesome

[@grubb910]

I'm glad to hear from someone that was there and appreciated it! Hell yeah man.

[@captaincrunch72]

This was so mother fucking outstanding fucking amazing fuckity fucking just cool.. billy Strings folks...enjoy

[@jordanalexander5275]

Metal and bluegrass are kissing cousins

[@silliestputty]

Did like 3 double takes on this comment

[@irablankenship8423]

Bluegrass is just acoustic metal 😂

[@cheosterhout3640]

Or punk rock haha

[@dropitbuster]

Once removed

[@seventhsonmedia]

​​@irablankenship8423 I don't know how more people don't realize this: Bluegrass has as much non-stop shredding and dark lyrics as metal, just with different instruments.

[@ausable92]

My mind is BLOWN!! What a lucky crowd to have witnessed this!! Two Michigan boys rocking the world!

[@xymbolix]

Adam is a Chicago suburbs boy!

[@ausable92]

Yeah, pretty sure he went to high school with Tom Morrello too.

[@jhickssmd]

He is talking about Maynard and Billy… though I believe Maynard was actually born in Ohio

[@ausable92]

​@@jhickssmdYou are correct on all counts, good sir. Maynard moved from Ohio when he was young and lived with his Dad on the West side of the State.

[@OYensen]

🤯 sweet Jesus God is Real. And He Is so Good. Setting me right by blowing me away! Thanks for coming together!

[@Timothy0430]

Never knew a bluegrass player could head bang like that!! Love it!!!😂..

[@synesthesia00]

Watch him play Black Sabbath

[@YeahImAnthony]

One of his shirts is " Billy strings " but in the early 2000s death metal font. Definitely a metal head

[@Timothy0430]

@@YeahImAnthonyI’ve been a TooL fan since the 90s, and growing up in the hills of Kentucky I’ve was raised on bluegrass music too, this kid is amazing. To be able to play all genres of music. Watch his other vids!! I’m definitely a fan of his now. Glad I got to see him Rock out!! Love finding new kickass artist!!

[@scottpenk4980]

Billy was in a metalcore band 15ish years ago

[@mikewood9514]

He comes from a metalcore/metal backfground

[@davidberry752]

Instant Billy Strings fan.

[@Quantum973]

Watch him play Away from the Mire live - the dude fucking shreds so effortlessly

[@ryano2520]

This is my life coming around full circle

[@BeachGuyDave]

A perfect circle , indeed !

[@avgJones]

Billy Shreds!

[@PhishPhanSTL]

That should be a side project for sure!!!!

[@wickman33]

really cool that Adam gives up what is arguably his high point of a show for a guest to come play with them.. did it 4 or 5 times this tour

[@ZacTexC]

I’ve been going to see Tool since the 90’s and I’ve been going to see Billy for almost 4 years now. This blows my mind. I always knew he was in to metal but man this eclipses my mind.

[@UltimaPowers]

Shine on forever malevolent sun

[@MrKarmapolice97]

I have been a Tool fan since 2000 and watched Billy since he was little and wow they sound so damn good together

[@CRGtx325]

I’m convinced we live in a simulation!

[@ScottHoover-vx8rb]

My face is melted!Wow!

[@goodvibesteadyblazin]

tool and billy strings are two of my favourites and now you tell me today that i can watch BS rip shit up with tool ??!!!! what a dream!!!! this is fucking amazing

[@adropofgoldensun27]

Respect to Billy Strings the phenomenonal guitar man! Love Tool ! ❤

[@-g-4356]

Damn this is so good!

[@snapfest10]

THis is so fucking good. Holy shit hahaha

[@intentionallyblank9209]

Literally my dream come true

[@ryano2520]

We would be good friends 😊

[@walletsworth2384]

Same however my other dream is coming true in December. Mike Portnoy is playing a set with Umphrey’s in Chicago I couldn’t ask for anything better

[@thebackwoodsofns]

My face melted off. I don't even care ❤

[@rat8356]

wow first guitar solo in tool history!..lol

[@user-rn9rc5ps1q]

He used to play in metal bands and is a huge metal gear outside of playing bluegrass music

[@fuckcensorship69]

your autocorrect tells me you're a video game nerd

[@grubb910]

@@fuckcensorship69 hah😹

[@mikekoenig6467]

Yeah i especially loved when Solid Strings opened up for Snake

[@palmerlp]

Like… you can tell he knows the song inside and out by how he places those initial lead phrases. Then he just takes off.

[@billcrotts5456]

I would do almost anything to see this live. Probably the 2 best acts going today

[@Quake120]

Was in first two rows stage right. Had a couple next to me and the girl was extremely excited about Billy Strings. It was great. You guys were cool, let's see Tool again haha.

Oh man! This just kicks you in the teeth! 😁 Excellent

[@johnjohnson6260]

I was there! 8th row right in front of me! Pretty solid

[@joemama8762]

Billy Mutha Fuckin Strings!!!

[@ironzeppelin354]

This was such a great show, I’ll be eternally grateful I was at this show

[@sequoiafive0537]

I was there and saw that go down. How does a bluegrass player rip a solo like that?!! Billy is a bad ass! Watch out - Maynard is gonna track down for posting this….

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Billy and Tool ? Yes , please 🙏 ❤🎉

[@stepitupandgo67]

WTF so cool

[@Wilem35]

We saw Alex Lifeson play Jambi in Toronto.

[@stinkywizzleteats420]

Tooly Strings

[@vicko1978]

I saw Billy in Baltimore in December then I saw Tool same place in January, two of the best shows ive ever been to.

[@BillyTheKidder]

This dude just living my dreams at this point… It should have been me! 😢😂😂

[@questionreality7748]

Whoa. 💥🤯😜

[@alexscutchfield2816]

Oh my god.

[@Roosters-rants1977]

He got up with them last night in Nashville. It was so great.

[@J_J_P_]

I mean, Jesus H. Christ. Billy Strings is already a legend.

[@fukuuu]

What in the effing ef. Get it!

[@batchelerjr]

Thanks for that. Got more? The sound is clean

[@markkollman870]

Crazy amount of talent on that stage.

[@holacomoestas_imERICA.520]

🤘😎

[@jeffreycaulfield8220]

Holy shit

[@highvolt_2936]

Billy was originally in a metal band. He can shred both genres

[@CarcassMoonwipe]

for a moment it sounded like frampton's solo from "i dont need no doctor" on at the fillmore

[@shanecowan9667]

Billy’s playing with tool. Cody Jinks was playing Dimebag’s guitar a few weeks back in tribute and they both have Alice In Chains covers. Current real country (not pop bs) artists are heavily influenced by old school metal

[@scottcook740]

Holy f*ck.

[@floorlamp]

😮

[@Budabaii]

Cut the video immediately before one of the coolest bass riffs in tools entire catalog. dang.

[@aphrodisiacjacket]

Got kicked out for taking the video lol

[@synesthesia00]

Is this LDS approved? Def LSD

[@Schlitzrock15]

BMFS

[@classyasphuck]

Wow, what a sick collab

[@tomschweizer8436]

Jesus

[@mydudezfrightening2988]

Les claypool and billy strings are good friends

[@bathtub_jim7652]

Any coincidence that the song they decided to play is called.....JAMbi?

[@grubb910]

that was a reach, dude... but I'm not mad about it.

[@mahwahnj1]

Is there any genre he can't play ?? Sounds like he's been playing this style music for yrs.. I've heard him play 3 completely different styles of music and he killed it all 3 times

[@ryangstohl856]

Takes a lot of 3% beer to slay like this in Utah 😉

[@MrZachthorn66]

I remember wondering who was the extra guitarist on stage shredding the guitar lol

[@travisirvine3363]

Billy can't be human

[@RandallHoward-kw3lp]

BMFS!

[@pktdbgnzwl]

Would dig Molly Tuttle playing metal.

[@jordanwhite1687]

Why doesn’t anyone still know that Billy strings was in a heavy metal band before doing bluegrass!

[@chrischoir3594]

can't believe he would play with these clowns

[@user-pn8jh8mk5w]

Probably my favorite shit from boomer All flawless bud

[@brandondecarlo8619]

They should do this with Eric Gales too…

[@sillylung]

I totally didnt have Billy Strings playing with tool on my bingo card

[@GimmeJimmy23]

So much awesome. Is this even legal? 😂

[@michaelcothren5015]

No it’s not

[@dougbryan9464]

totally illegal! @@michaelcothren5015

keep it on the down-low, cuz

[@Watashiwaa]

😂😂😂😂😂😅

[@ilpezkato]

Joseph Smith disapproves of this post.👹

[@cheifcreekturtle]

Oh gosh… he’s better at playing tool than tool. 🤯😂❤

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

TOOL fans be like: "What's a guitar solo?"

[@missairikatarot]

Das it’s super anti hero do si do re me alligator Heterochromia hallelujah halitosis jam be 🫵🏽

[@chrisbergmanniii59]

Oh kid. You had your turn now people want to hear Adams talkbox solo give me a break dude pulling a Clapton Clapton never let anybody play without him playing on top of him either

[@nickmaybes]

Amazing singer - average guitar player - not feeling it on this track… sorry guys

[@jairettl]

I prefer the original version. the high flying guitar solos are not really a staple of tool music being more progressive and melody driven. Cool to see when bands do this but it ruined the "mood" of the song

[@SilverFurniture23]

Lame. Nobody asked for this.

[@superstimulatedminotaur3681]

Actually Tool did, when they asked Billy to play with them...He didn't just wander on stage you know

[@SilverFurniture23]

It sure sounds like he did @@superstimulatedminotaur3681
