BILLY STRINGS - "Pyramid Country & Train Train" (Live at High Sierra Festival 2017)

[@danielelkin3270]

WOW this kid truly is the one. Billy is the best thing to happen to music this generation

[@davidmcdowell6521]

Seriously Billy has such charisma, guitar skills and a great voice. He has it all and is keeping his music really fresh while still playing traditional tunes as well as mixing it all up jamming with other bands and musicians. Great to see his modest, playful attitude too. He brings out the best in those he plays with and we who watch and listen to the music are the lucky ones. It’s been a total privilege to witness Billy and his music. A hard act to follow.

[@johannlothe]

Spot on.

[@zachd5242]

These guys are like no others

[@drrbrt]

These dudes could outshred any metal band ive heard.

[@mikelliteras397]

I need a van. Billy and Marcus King have me listening to music again

[@tracyhouser4100]

That's one happy bassist

[@Real4rio]

Amazing kid! From bluegrass to R&B and hard rock...with mandolin and banjo in "train, train"!!!! This kid is the new heavy Leadbelly. The best acoustic guitar player in 30 years. Finally something really good from our new generation. And what a voice! Great showmanship, also.

[@matthewbutler6420]

Look up Jake workman

[@BulletproofLeprosy]

that change at 3:39 i fell back with my chair and im HOWLIN!! so good!

[@SDguitarplayer858]

Same!!!

[@dizzylizardproductions]

I love how they pair these songs. Billys string IQ and performance is tops. The entire band is top notch.

[@harmvonlintig7146]

This is bluegrass rock'n'roll. Best stuff since newgrass revival. Thanks for publishing.

[@strangetimesstringband5025]

Might be one of the hardest billy jams so far.

[@jamiej14544]

I really like the mix on this set, with the upright bass so clear and present.

[@danielelkin7739]

Billy is by far the best thing to happen to music since someone turned a cello sideways and CELLO they got a bass!

[@supertravdoggy]

This guy is going to take blue grass places that it never new it could go. At this point in his life hes young and has developed technique comparable to Doc Watson and Tony Rice at the end of there respective careers. I'm so excited for bluegrass and the promise that there is some one to carry on the torch that has almost faded. Hold it high and let it burn billy, you got this shit!

[@prasad530]

This comment has aged well!

[@pauliegualeri7755]

Aged even better now!

[@grwood15]

Yes! Billy strings representing Michigan! Love this guy. Just an amazing talent

[@lroper7793]

Garey w so this awesome guitar phenomenon is from Michigan? Are all of his band members from Michigan also? Of course I've not been schooled on his early years.

[@sybo7617]

He is gonna be one of the greatest! Everybody else bow down!

[@pokeyourface23]

I’m glad I got to see this before I die. Not in person. But goddddd damnnnn what a blaze right there!

[@kevinb660]

Bluegrass has been reunited! Praise be!!

[@djProduct2008]

This is the first time I've needed the "repeat forever" feature.

[@stevegoodwin803]

Damn. That was freaking impressive. My face was officially melted...

[@brianrusso8018]

Billy plays like he was born at the crossroads.......

[@iwillwander]

These guys play otherworldly. Like the music coming straight in from the ether.

[@robertoleksiak2694]

best bluegrass I've ever heard

[@TheReal7Bit]

This was fucking incredible, holy smokes. One of the best things I've yet to hear on this channel

[@whatthehellisANSKY]

Shredders! All of you!!!! 🤯

[@AndersJensenTH]

Wow, all of you as one, just wow. What a beautiful moment. Thank you all for letting us be part of it.

[@IExertio]

Hands down the best band to ever exist

[@therealjulez7886]

Billy Strings .... the fastest string slinger in the west.

[@england670]

I can’t take my eyes off this group....they all are incredible musicians

[@gregchapman3884]

The band is so tight. Love it .

[@duanefroelicher1613]

This kid and his band is absolutely crushing it. Love the mix of bluegrass, some rock, and blues.

[@AustinRogers1]

It is hard to get four GOOD musicians together and play like this - tight!

[@bigsilverbear4187]

Mr Bass Cello dude REALLY crushed it. GREAT BAND!!!

[@eileencregg6754]

Straight up wicked wicked 🎶🪕🍀👀🇮🇪🙏🎵🎸

[@lroper7793]

Mr. Strings you are the Metallica of Bluegrass. So glad you came to Bluegrass side.

[@gktde9874]

Mettallica?? for me they`re like Mahavishnu Orchestra of Bluegrass !

[@huehoney7410]

Well that was a hell of an insult lol

[@DawgWatson10]

if it was metal you were going for the comparison would be closer to necrophagist or if you wanted to suggest more classical metal, something like dream theater. seeing as billy has blown out ears and sometimes wears a cryptopsy shirt, I'd say he would identify with the necrophagist comparison

[@HAZEYEYED.]

Obviously his point was that Billy Strings is BADASS. Geez u guys. I'm a hippie that loves Metallica (they do exist) 🤘✌ lmao

[@jakeweber7467]

pls don't compare this band to metallica

[@nick19823]

Tonight at the State!!!! Portland, Maine loves this band!

[@jmichaelstudios5495]

Banjo player is wearing a Wood Brothers shirt love it!

[@wthigo77]

Love the banjo player. Doesn't try to show off just does his thing

[@snookdock]

The bass is boss.

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Yeeeeeaaaaaah! Got turned on to Billy Strings by Wings of Pegasus on youtube. These are NOT hipster d-bags. they know from whence they came. The real deal. Bluegrass at its finest! Thank you for this post, Jam in the Van. You, also, have turned me on to some great bands I might never have heard of otherwise.

[@Freempg]

I was wondering if Fil had featured Billy Strings. Gotta go look it up.

[@mattflickinger8151]

Fil here Hellllooo. This guy is really getting on

[@phlarrdboi]

Billy Failing is one of my 2 favourite banjo players, so hot!

[@augustwest5207]

I come back to this video time & time again! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@iancnnr]

[@andreaherald1796]

Y'all just need to know how f***** awesome you are man I think you're great

[@paullevine1813]

From the look in Billy's eyes Sierra was not the only one high .. Super fun & these boys as everyone knows are smokin' good to just plain awesome .

[@premasru]

What a holy smoking hot blast!

[@87FordMudder]

The tone on that upright and the heavy jam grooves make this feel like a Hellborg/Lane session

[@moska1674]

Oh Lord, what a treat. The Tony Rice Unit legacy lives on

[@GregoryWillTwitch]

I have been introduced to so many different venues just by following Billy strings 💙✌️🕊

[@TriggerWarner]

We used to say this before Google existed. " good googly miss moogly" y'all guys are the truth

[@shiner421]

I cant get enough! A legend is rising and we get to watch (Listen)!

[@jmc855]

I can fucking hear the bass!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@fignut]

Billy set the standard for blending traditional bluegrass with a modern twist.

[@tonoman67]

Fantastic Blackfoot cover , merci.

[@VolsOverOles]

I love billy strings' work. Always have. But it would be much better if he would ever even mention the names of his sidemen here. They are great and deserve to, at least, be listed. Thanks
