[@arkieokie]

Every time, and I have seen this video dozens of times, the segment of music with Leslie and Zakk @ 10:31raises the hair on my arms and gives me goosebumps. I don't know why but it does. Rest In Peace Leslie. You are missed.

[@Kopperafiel]

I own a Gibson LP Junior because of this man.

[@steveblue2027]

I love the way that Zakks eyes light up on stage with Leslie West!!!! --SDMF Lucky

[@josephplatania5593]

My older brother loved mountain. I listened everyday. Killer Heavy style. I'm a big zakk fan now. I love playing his style. I'm growing my chops. Thanks guys.

[@Mark-um5hc]

Hey, you keep playing his style. Nothing wrong with that. There isn't a better way. I've always loved it.

[@glenndavis6793]

God bless Leslie you'll never be forgotten you started a trend of music for so many I've learned so much from your ability play music rest in peace my brother thank you so much for showing me so much

[@shredit_nyc]

How'd this one get by me. Great banter, shit-ton of talent up there. Fly high, Leslie.

[@plk5520]

Rewatching this at the start of 2021. Tears of laughter and sadness.

[@daveh9335]

Nantucket Sleighride In the top 10 best songs ever RIP Leslie West

[@saltpeter7429]

I keep Zakk in mind these dark days of 2020. Having lost Edward Van Halen and now his good friend and mentor Leslie West, that poor fella is in some soul pain. This year sucks incredibly. These guitar hero's didnt and dont.

[@aschule5684]

Leslie West, what a legend, he was one of the greats, gone but never forgotten, respect and love🤘🏻

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

the leslie-zakk show is precious, on stage musical magic, much respect all around. rip, a true legend of the west.

[@Kopperafiel]

Such a great loss. RIP Mr West.

[@riansettles2506]

Leslie the king of tone. He really knows how to control his guitar tone.His tone was beyond heavy. I prefer him with the p90's though. seems like a really cool guy

[@rjc7289]

Losing Leslie and EVH in the same year is almost too much to bear. Throw covid-19 on top of that, and 2020 has officially been the worst year of my life thus far! I hope Leslie, EVH, SRV, Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix and Criss Oliva are in Heaven right now trading licks! What an awesome jam session that must be!

[@mikegallagher2732]

DONT forget DIMEBAG !!!!!!

[@markrago7217]

Plus we lost Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake, two of the greats, architects of the iconic Uriah Heep.

[@DaveyLeeSmity]

Such great company up there indeed!

[@johnnyappleseed4386]

I like how he shows respect for the Lord and gives thanks for his gifts. He has my respect.

[@svenzia]

I like what Zakk said about Yngwie. I also loved to hear West speak about tone and melody.

[@superfuzzymomma]

Rest easy Brother Les. I owe you more than I could have ever repaid. Dec. 2020.

[@marbananta]

This is very entertaining, love this very much! Leslie and Zakk are so hilarious!

[@jasondesjardins7371]

These two together= pure gold.

[@JbirdlLester]

Leslie west was a very Kind and Humble human Man. It's so awesome to see Zack with one of the Greats up on stage. I bet Zacks mind is just blown by all the wonderful and Great Musicians he has got to jam with .when Zack come on the scene with Ozzy he just didn't knock on the Door he kicked the fucker in. and to see him with Leslie brings a tear to my eyes because they can been gone in a flash. Like my Hero King Edward Lodewijk Van Halen. RIP Leslie I bet your in Heaven Ripping Mississippi to the Father .

[@Lynch34]

thats awesome how 2 great musicians have so much mutual respect. Love how Leslie gets a kick out of all the stuff Zakk says

[@tog2842]

What an amazing video, just beautiful. RIP Big man.

[@jeffhindz7558]

Sad indeed. We lost a Giant!! I'm very fortunate to have see Leslie on stage doing his magic! And as far as you Zach..I'm still deaf when I saw you and Ozzi in New York City..

[@jeffreyland8004]

The 38 people that dislike this are children who don't understand music.

[@MrTraceMan]

You never gave me enough Hugs, you never come to my shows, Classic, lol.

[@antonelloschiano5815]

God Bless Leslie 🙏...the great musicians.....thank you so much for posting!

[@PeterFitznuggly]

Love the smiles on each others face during the call and response.

[@JohnnyButtons]

Zakk is the epitome of "feel & soul".... dude is just on another level.

[@HarryMuffUk]

Best interview ever.

[@valhallaking1]

a legend in its self i never get tired of watching this

[@dennisbergen7657]

Awesome, what a pleasure to listen too 👍🤘

[@depper]

Leslie is always the General on stage. He's one of ONLY a handful that invented this hard rock sound we listen to today. He can play as fast or as slow as he mother fuckin wants, and it will sound perfect. Every note tells a story. Less is more.

[@ledzep45]

This video is too awesome!

[@blackholepoorduction]

I was totally at this show in Chicago. This was an excellent treat!

[@polydactylkingdom8447]

These guys are multi-talented and Funny too.. It's great to see the lighter side of hard rock and they roll right on it!

[@kellecetraro4807]

Jesus... Such beautiful and deep moments they were sharing on stage.

[@metalslather]

Yup, Zakk has to be in some kinda hurt right now. RIP brother

[@davidmathews2599]

No it's a conversation between one legend and a famous guitar player. That's it.

[@leeparker5120]

Excellent, these two really bounce of one and other. Just counting the days to Book of shadows 2

[@ericfrantzen2516]

I had some bootleg MOUNTAIN Live cassette tapes back in the late 80s. They were both some of the greatest guitar pieces! INCREDIBLE!

[@Gray40]

Excellent! Get well soon, Leslie, you ARE a guitar legend!!

[@darkeyes3131]

This is great!!! Two legends, two different styles, but two vituosos!!!

[@thechazdarby]

[@AJNpa80]

Leslie uses silence, stop, pause, anticipation like no one, his bursts and flow, amazing, roll right on out of it.

[@KaptainKopter]

It warms my heart that people recognize what a talent Leslie West was!

[@syracuse6651]

Nice to hear zakk kinda slow it down a bit , And get that soul back in his music . Reminds me of the pride and glory days

[@bezzarguy]

I used to go see Mountain at the Eastown in Detroit.Leslie has always been one of my favorites.A true legend of rock & roll. Listen to the riff at the start of "Never in My Life",...classic. Nice to see Zak give him the respect he deserves.

[@nerenahd]

Cool, they seem to have great fun with each other.

[@TheMonolake]

This vid has been a hidden Jem Thx for bringing it.

[@Crankerny58]

This is Classic! My dad was just like Leslie!

[@tapion123]

I helped my setup for a show like 6 years ago and didn't know who he was but Leslie ended up talking to me and asking what kinda drums I liked to play like 45 seconds before going on stage I'll never forget that

[@MrNosaint11]

I was at this show. Congress Theater in Chicago 3/28/09. Legends unite!

[@xX_d47b01_Xx]

Leslie West is the reason I wield a guitar today Rock in Peace to this legend 🤘🏼🥲

[@Consolous]

[@lingsto195]

@ 10:40 Zakk bows to respect him, and then unleashes a barrage of notes, only to honor his mentor. that's fuckin love man
