Sammy Hagar and Billy Gibbons Perform ZZ Top's 'Waitin' for the Bus' | Rock & Roll Road Trip

[@timberwolfdtproductions3890]

I wrote a comment earlier about how much I enjoyed this video, but it turned out to be very cathartic as well. I haven’t played guitar in months, after a period of illness. I’ve been well enough to play for a while now, and I often think about playing, but I just haven’t been feeling it. Something about watching these two great musicians hanging out, talking about music, playing music, lit a spark in me that ignited a need to share in the joy of making music. F the tv, I warmed up the amp, got my gear set up, plugged in my Strat, jammed to some great tunes, and had a good ol’ time. I just hope this blister doesn’t take too long to heal! The power of music is universal and eternal!

Great comment and glad your starting feel better..rock onnnnnn

[@bryanmannoia8410]

when Sammy was in his 20's he had one of the best voices in rock history. strange that in his 70's he still has it. a true legend. same with Billy.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Sammy aint no 70 years old. Get the fuck out of here. Oh dang. I'm almost 50, so I guess he is. Wow.

[@randr10]

I like his vocals better now honestly.

[@williamtobin7282]

You listen to sammy WHEN he was with Ronnie Montrose and his wail will definatly speak volumes about the pipes he had..

[@dyer2cycle]

..Sammy's voice has always been good, but I think it was better in his mid-late 40's than it was in his 20's..more mature, developed, and more powerful..basically, from about VOA, until the end of his tenure with Van Halen...

[@williamtobin7282]

I've seen this many times and it never gets old. You can tell Sammy is happy during this one. You can see him peeking at how he plays the cord. Rock on Sammy.

[@donmikler]

tune your a string down to g! Try it, you'll like it

[@renwitchell6426]

The sound.👌 So cool to see Sammy geeking out, Billy enjoyed himself too. It gave me goosebumps.

[@hook-x6f]

Sammy says aliens kidnapped him and altered his future and gave him his gift. I know I would not believe that statement either without having done mega research on abductions. People are now realizing that aliens are very real. For those that do not believe do some research because to reflexively deny this or think it impossible is a great big huge mistake. People are starting to pay more attention and things are changing quickly. We know they're real.

[@trollexpeditionaryforces5293]

billy doesn't wow you with lightning speed arpeggios and scales...he's all about quality, passion and feeling of rock/blues. it sets him apart from all the others. that's why all the greats can appreciate this master blues man guitarist.

It’s Texas blues at its finest

[@urex1717]

I don't know if you know who Taj Farrant is but a few years ago he was in his lightning licks phase and I recommended Billy (along with David Gilmour) as two guitarists to listen to in order to really flesh out his abilities.

[@Martos59]

Yes he was singing Dusty’s parts. Sounded fantastic. You’ve got to give it to Billy, simply incredible!!

[@bobabreath5097]

I still come back to watch this on repeat. 8 months and it's still one of my favorites. Sammy and ZZ Top should tour together... I mean who wouldn't go see that? Sammy and Billy still sounding amazing. Sammy's voice just fits with the ZZ Top sound. Both Living Legends still with so much left to give !!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@superdave7241]

I literally did exactly the same thing... It's so cool... It's just freaking cool 🎯

[@mwrobinson1169]

The guitar, the voice, the band, the heritage. Simply fantastic.

[@tonym2513]

Billy is so cold. I bet he pisses ice cubes.

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

Awesome stuff! I was 10 in 1975 when my older sister ordered records from the record club back then; one of the LPs they sent her that she didn't want was ZZ Top - Fandango. I saw these guys on the cover in cowboy hats and Nudie suits, and said to myself, WTF is this? I decided to play it, loved it, and 47 years later I haven't looked back! ZZ still kicks ass! I have every album! RIP Dusty

[@azznbad1]

Well in 75 I was 17 years old ànd had seen my first show(zepplin) and my 3rd show (ZZ Top) with Humble Pie squeezed between them.

[@fwfulton]

Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus just left Chicago is one of my all time favorite songs.

[@bartbullock7817]

You watch this... You can't help but smile.

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Those two guys had SOOO MUCH playtime on the soundtracks of my youth. I sang lead vocals in a band called Cliques in the 70s and theirs was the music I learned about the true power of rock, rhythm and blues on.

[@casinogeno1]

BFG and Sammy playing and singing= goosebumps! Wow!!!

[@tonym2513]

They did sound really good together too. Sammy sounds great with background vocals that can go high. Soon as Billy opened his mouth, check the look on Sammy’s face.

[@broncodude6299]

Yeah, no shit! This is just bad ass

[@jimscouten6092]

I wouldn't be the guitar player I am today without either of these guys! My first concert was 1972 or 3 with Sammy Hagar and Boston in Las Cruces New Mexico but ZZ top was one of my first to light a fire under my ass and made me learn to play guitar. Billy Gibbons is whiteout a dought who I learned to play guitar from. Simply a legend and an amazing guitar player, one of the best hands down!!

[@Rational_Mind]

I was actually lucky enough to have been born in 1960 and lived through the heyday of this. True greatness!

[@tropixstarz2005]

I'm from Dallas Texas I live in South Florida now but I grew up in Dallas Texas and I used to go and see ZZ Top at a bar called Mother Blues before they made their first album .

[@greghicks5960]

Sammy and Billy singing together is pure magic.

[@teds8747]

Been a ZZ fan since I was very young... thanks for bringing this to us Sammy!... and thanks to Reverend Billy G for being so awesome!

Im a ZZTop fan and i loved it. Even the camera crew knew something dpecial was happening.

[@timberwolfdtproductions3890]

Great video! I’m a huge Billy Gibbons/ZZ Top fan, and to see him relaxed and talking about music, then playing a little on that beautiful guitar was a real treat! Sammy Hagar rocks, and he was great in this!

[@lokerola]

Man, Billy's tone on guitar is JUST PERFECT! Mean and bluesy!

[@laggyluke5700]

Holy cow, Sammy is 2 years older than Billy. I'm shocked! He looks extremely well for his age.

Two of my favorite guitarists , singer song writers ! I would love to jam with those guys any day of the week , week of the year , any year in my life ! That would be an ultimate day , for any musician , I don't care who you are ! Two cool cats , doing what they LOVE , & loving what they do ! It doesn't get any better than that . Well , maybe heaven , but we ain't there yet . Rock on , people !

[@BeeBop1029]

These 2 have been heroes to me forever. Recently I saw Billy do a show with some Austin locals... Jimmie Vaughn, Whipper Layton, Sue Foley, etc. called "The Jungle Show" at Clifford Antones bar/stage on 6th Street. Seeing him at a small venue like that was a huge huge treat. Billy of the '70s, esp. early '70s, was absolutely killer with the staccato notes, wicked vibrato, etc. He hasn't played like that in decades.

[@TexasRed167]

Two of the best

[@luckyheart9096]

It was a pleasure to watch Sammy and Billy interact that way. You guys made my day! 🤘🏼

Billy Gibbons is the coolest cat in the biz . ZZ Top is one of my all time favorites . One of the loudest bands I’ve ever heard too . Always a great show

Billy Gibbons always the gentleman. What a great combo Sammy and Billy together having fun. This was just awesome.

[@CatDieselPwr]

My heart started to glow when Sammy started to sing Jesus Just Left Chicago with Billy. I'm so glad he asked him to play that as you could genuinely feel the excitement Sammy had welling up inside to hear those legendary riffs. Just saw Billy and the Gang for the first time 9 days ago and he/they played killer.

I always loved ZZ Top’s sound. And Billy’s equipment set up, combined with his Texas blues style of playing is a perfect blend for their style of music. At least that’s the way I always felt about it. I’m a big Sammy Hagar fan as well. And to see the two of them together jamming out a little bit was pretty freaking awesome! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to see if I can find Jesus in New Orleans. PEACE! ✌️ 😎

I saw ZZ Top way back during the Eliminator (do you all remember the car?) tour at The Cow Palace in San Francisco (Okay, Brisbane, CA) the lasers were amazing the fuzzy guitars were amazing, the spinning guitars and the band disappearing was amazing, but of course it came down to the lyrics, vocals and musicianship. Like Rush, The Police, ZZ Top makes incredible sound out of a 3 man band. Thanks for the video!
