B.B. King Jams with Slash and Others (6/6) Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2011

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

It doesn’t matter where you play, what you’re influences are, you always come back to the blues.

[@VaibhavJoshii]

True

[@zoophillips6933]

What a collaboration 🥰

[@vincenttimetre3306]

What if you play romantic classical music?

[@francoandresroldan2444]

Amen

[@DrMurdercock]

I was always in argument of this. For 30 some years I said "bull shit" But nah, dude's right. Some of us have just went back before others.

[@SpecialDetermence]

I’ve never seen slash so nervous before. You can tell hes so honored to be sitting next to B.B King

[@SingersDream]

when he asked him to scoot over next to him!❤❤❤

[@Monica-gu2wx]

I met BB backstage, many moons ago, at a gig my pop, Butch Trivette played in New Orleans . I walked in, and he and Pop were playing penny poker before the show.. Pop was the opening act. He introduced me to BB, who very eloquently, praised my pop's musical talent, and congratulated us both on Pop's recent Grammy nominations. Then he asked me if I played Poker (I did actually) and he asked me to join the game. I was so nervous, I sipped a bit of Pop's Southern Comfort and ended up running the table. You see, Pop had done his job at teaching me to play Poker (as well as pool) a looonngg time back, as he claimed musicians daughters should know these things. Pop was tickled (and well on his way to pickled) as I slipped another sip of his whiskey, then made him take it easy before his set. Work first, Whiskey later! Pop sulked a bit, but BB was impressed with my Poker skills and possibly, in hopes of helping to get Pop's mind elsewhere (coz he COULD be a handful!) BB ended up throwing me a 14k gold chain in the poker pot. I was so stoked!! Several years later, a male friend and I traveled from our home state of Georgia, to the Florida Theatre to see BB. He seemed to almost recognize me from the stage,and smiled that big, wonderful grin of his. I was just a few feet away and feeling all warm and fuzzy about it, as he threw another gold necklace out to me, then proceeded to throw 'em out to SEVERAL females. We were all so stoked!!! My friend told me on the way home, that BB did that often. It was a "BB thing." I thought it was probably the coolest (and quite expensive!) "gimmicks" I'd ever heard of. Though I wore those chains proudly for many years, I unfortunately, misplaced them or perhaps, sadly, lost them, over many years of life as a crazy, but magically-talented musician's daughter. But they'll be forever tucked away with the rest of my coolest memories of the adventures of Pop and I over the years. I learned a lot from him, and laughed a lot too. And that's worth more than all the gold in the world to me! 💛

[@DrMurdercock]

BB was special man. The players player. The God of Gods. A God Amongst us Mere Mortals. Not many players can claim that title. BB was one of them though.

[@debnath1973]

Slash is a good guy

[@billott5660]

Slash isn't nervous.... he's exceptional and smart enough to show some respect. And BB loves his playing.

[@dougbohling9259]

Slash is a very respectful musician and knows his place when sitting in with guitar royalty. It wasn't his time to shine and he knew it.

+TheNickJonathan hahahah slash doesn't know the word "nervous"

[@RajVerma-ox6ro]

Whenever BB speaks whatever he says sounds like a song

[@360fishingadventures8]

Part of that is repetition. If there's a certain idea he wants to express, he simply repeats it twice, and matches the exact way he said it the first time around. This gives his voice a melodic sound tone. Dude's a genius if you ask me.

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Slash showed us he’s a musician first and superstar second. Those who are in the field know what it is.

[@MrJoshDada]

Steve vai is the opposite

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Joshua Dada you know who would’ve been great at doing sessions with anyone if he stayed alive? Stevie Ray Vaughan. He could go from screaming solo, to warm slowhand, to burning, and whenever he accompanied someone else soloing, he was pristine. My old guitar teacher used to say , you’re either a guitar player or a musician but never both.

[@lokotron1]

Em. No. He showed he cant play.

[@floydbutnotsopink6328]

@@lokotron1 Em. No. You've shown that he's probably not your taste.

[@fenderstratguy]

@TheDCGuitar13 I saw SRV play on stage with BB King. SRV was extremely respectful, and that respect went both ways. Stevie just wanted to remain a few steps downstage from BB King, out of the spotlight. He was showing enormous respect for the King of the Blues. And BB insisted he move up to the front of the stage, to show his respect for Stevie's ability and his obvious love of the blues. BB said something about the torch of blues was being passed to a new generation, and it was in good hands. They both killed it that night. True class shown all the way by both parties. SRV’s torch was snuffed out 2 months later when his helicopter crashed after a concert in East Troy, Wisconsin.

[@vertigo1971]

I love all the other musicians, but Slash was by far the most respectful, humble, lifesaver of this jam.

[@craigory88]

[@jozefkollar5164]

Hi man Dennis ...try to listen Jose Felicitano .

[@fenderstratguy]

Slash is so cool and so respectful. I saw SRV live with BB also and Stevie Ray was the same way. Volume down. Eyes down. Standing a few steps behind BB at all times. Never daring to show off, in any way, shape or form, out of respect for the Master. Slash never showed off. He knew BB was struggling and clearly frustrated with himself and still had to be prodded to take any of BB's spotlight.

[@mysty042]

:) Makes me like Slash even more. This was toward the end of B.B.'s journey in this life. I am glad he showed respect.

[@HonestDoubter]

What blows my mind is that BB Rests his hand on Slash's leg like he is a true friend. What a difference in history - and still - total respect.

[@Fluffy2772]

I think everyone needs to remember that BB King was 86 during this performance. Just like any old musician, seeing him at this age is a novelty more than anything. BB King was also never the most technical player either. He is renowned for his style. He was never a shredder.

While we're on the topic of cool stories involving Slash, here's mine: Axl's manager invited me and my family backstage during one of their 2016 shows. It's a long story but in short, literally as she was on her way to collect us to take us back to Axl's hotel room for the post-party (where the real parties apparently go on), venue security kicked us out because they thought the band had left already. It is simultaneously the best and worst story ever. 🤣 I did get to meet Axl a few months later though during his tour with AC/DC and he was really nice, and I met Duff. I still hope to meet Slash some day.

You have to respect a legend!! I'm taking guitar lessons because of BB King. I hope I can play at 84 years of age.

[@leonardoserodio7673]

B.B King stands for Beale Blues King, Beale is the street in Memphis where he started his fame and where he then years later opened his bar and employed all his friends and family from Mississippi.

[@jeffhershberger2119]

Leonardo Serodio Incorrect. It's Blues Boy King.

[@jamesneutron9856]

Yeah it's blues boy

[@ezelder]

Incorrect. B.B. Is Blues Boy. Beale, as you assert, I would assume is a Reference to Beale Street and the history behind it in New Orleans. Since Jazz, not Blues, was born in N.O. and BB was from Mississippi, I think he would highly reject Beale Boy.

[@alexjohnston8889]

You are correct it is blues boy real name Riley king

[@mikehays3481]

Blues Boy King, as a young player, he was also a DJ for WDIA radio in Memphis Tn

[@t4daccounts367]

Gibson and Fender really good friends with this jam.

People see a legend like B.B. King and still dare to say that Slash is the best guitar player on Earth...I just can't live on this planet anymore...

[@ozzy2k11]

they're both great and respectable players in their own way ;)

[@C4hackz]

ozzy2k11 Slash is great, but he's not half as good as King.

[@ozzy2k11]

C4hackz why is he not half as good as King though? they're both established players who achieved a lot in the music industry :b if i had to choose one of them I'd probably go with slash merely because of his style of music, then again his style evolved from blues and King is an influence on him, you can see on this video how much he respects him :)

[@NeeCeeRidinFree]

That is what is so great about being an individual...you can pick and choose who you like the best! If we all thought alike..this world would be so freakin' boring... :) Slash is good..but the younger generation always build their style of playing from someplace :)

[@BabyBat14]

ozzy2k11 You see, I really don't want to offend you, I DO respect your opinion, but any guitar player can see that, even though Slash is an awesome player, BB's technique and style is waaaaaaayyyyy more complex than Slash's. Btw, he has greater experience not only on his career, but also on guitar playing. :) Anyway, Slash is incredibly good, I'm just giving my opinion of why B.B. is better (to me)

Even in his late 70's still have that Great Spirit R.I.P BB KING true Legend

...is it me or is Slash's blues surprisingly good?

[@caiopassos95]

Slash is a bluesy oriented guy since day one. Add some punk and funky influences here and there, but that's it

[@Brandon_093]

anyfrickinname yea I seen the back in 2017. It’s one thing hearing slash played on an album and watching him and KZbin but actually experiencing him play live is mind blowing. Absolutely everyone was quite in the building just watching and listening. It was definitely a moment I’ll never forget

[@ThreeEyedFool]

The entire sweet child of mine riff is written in a blues/jazz scale. Dude knows his shit.

[@busgroyper580]

@anyfrickinname omg I was at that concert

[@busgroyper580]

@anyfrickinname that solo was so amazing. That solo made me start playing guitar
