Post Malone did the opposite of selling out. He made mainstream music, got big, then went on to do whatever he wants musically. Much respect

[@GUEVAROGA]

Exactly right br !!

[@chriscurrie1234]

Perfectly summed up man

[@pwd1134]

That's the definition of selling out. Anytime you do something for the money, you sold out. Doesn't matter if you do it at the beginning, middle, or end of your career.

[@Eat_My_Bum]

Yeah cause getting face tats and getting wasted isn't selling out lol

[@thumplife792]

Talk about a genuine dude. He asked Billy what to do with his cigarette. It was Billy's stage he was on at that moment, and he respected that. Small gestures like that show respect runs deep within him.

great observation and 100% true

100% agree that was super respectful, but as a player I cringed when he put his drink on the amp. Please don't do that - it's been the death of a lot of gear.

[@SexNoDrugsRocknRoll]

And i hate to say it, but not everyone digs Strings... Plenty of grassholes and Dead hardliners don't like him, or at least don't respect what he's doing (trust me, i've come across a fair number of them in these comments sections). Lame, i know, but it is what it is... BTW, i'm stoked for Rosemont...taking the kid for his highschool graduation present...

Billy Strings band is a full of masters. It’s really unbelievable. I’m sure Post was thrilled to get onstage with them.

[@beardown2489]

He was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. He was thrilled for sure

[@cleech74]

These are the best moments in life. Just being in the room with currently one of the best touring bands in the world, a sit in with Post, along with an audience that is just beaming with positive energy, and directing it right back at everyone on stage. Doesn’t get much better than that. I gotta catch these guys live, hopefully in the near future.

Do you have any idea how stupid your comment is?

[@TNTOutdoors4U]

I noticed that too, thought the same thing. Such an impromptu instinctual sign of respect, it’s obvious he has good character. Everybody has there demons, and I really hope he can get some of his under control because I think it would be an extreme tragedy to loose such an obviously genuine, talented, good-hearted, amazing talent too soon (which unfortunately has already happened all-too often). Every clip I’m seeing of him, wether it’s something like this, or a very gracious and humble fan interaction, is giving me such a profound respect and admiration of the man himself. 🙏👍😁

It looks like Post just enjoys playing music with other active and drilled musicians. No preassure to go viral, no preassure to provoke or plow new ground musically. Just playing music and having some good old fun. Billy and the band seems to be in a heavy groove of poking their head up whereever they can by sheer skill. Who else thinks Post looks like Colter Wall if he didnt go cowboying, but some how ended up being a giant hiphop hit, making stoopid amounts of money.....

@@jeffalbillar7625 It's an interesting phenomenon as I am a deadhead. He's great and does a powerful show (a la Tedeschi Trucks). He has a lot of influences, like the Dead, but I'm not sure how much of this crowd really knows where his music is from. He does a number of covers that some people seem to be surprised aren't his originals. I understand a number of people went to England to follow also.

[@jeffalbillar7625]

@@ehdit wish I had that kind of money and no responsibility to speak of to follow someone to England. I believe that most of the stuff that he did with Don Julin was older songs. When I watch his live videos, he seems to do a ton of cover's. I really like this guy's music. I wish I could have seen him that night, but I couldn't justify spending $282 on two tickets.

@@tylersveryownreactionchann7613 he’s about as good as Johnny Cash was at guitar which isn’t all that special lol. If you can play an E chord and an A chord and thump the bass note, you’re fine. You don’t even have to play the B chord, just the bottom three on it. Johnny clearly used guitar as a way to keep track of the song, not such much for a good sound. It was a tool for writing and feeling music for him. It was as punk rock as country has ever been

@@Augrills ok man I'm not just talking about the chord shapes. I'm talking about the absolute perfect strumming timing and the perfect picking of the alternating root notes. Not everyone is amazing at guitar, I'm just happy to see one of today's most famous musicians being so competent at actual playing, because everything sounds like a computer

@@tylersveryownreactionchann7613 ok man but there are literally millions of people playing in their bedrooms who have better control, time, and for sure sound than post demonstrates here. I’m sorry you’re that easily impressed
