[@ryansmith2844]

Now i really want a cover of vicarious by billy / watch it fall by tool

[@Bayers2020]

Good band name idea

[@kevingruenofficial]

Tool doesn't let just anyone "jam". They know the raw talent & precise expertise of Billy Strings is otherworldly.

[@ZChoate]

Who plays with Willie Nelson, Derek Trucks, and Tool? Billy doing the Lord's work

[@shanecowan9667]

Don’t forget he’s played with Post Malone too! Side nite, Billy’s cover of AIC’s Nutshell is badass too

[@bezenhappync]

Also recording an album with Les Claypool

[@justaname2422]

Don’t forget about him playing with Trey Anastasio! God damn Billy is incredibly talented.

[@ZChoate]

@@justaname2422 I saw Derek and Trey. I think I missed Billy. Checking it out. Just to expand more, when I saw him in St Louis, he started the show with a Nelly cover jam. Talks about Charlie Parker and plays with tool. Coolest guy in the world.

[@wwaldo2525]

Bob weir Trey

[@spinblackcircles]

Don’t forget the guy recording this was risking being thrown out of this show with no warning. Tool doesn’t play with cell phones at shows. The guy that recorded this is a legend

[@nicholasmehler9662]

The most hilarious part about it is during Billy's set at Bonnaroo Danny Carey is front rail center filming with his phone lmao

[@phatmattcowboys]

Hail the Legend!

[@jonathansanders9816]

Gotta turn that brightness all the way down!

[@tybot1980]

I was there. Maynard allowed us to record their last song, Invincible 😅.

[@russellzauner]

@@tybot1980 That's pretty fucken cool!

[@ColoRADbro420]

Wow I never expected a billy sit in. He literally is everywhere. Definitely added a new sonic layer to Jambi that I’ve never heard before.

Facts

[@russellzauner]

Everyone's on something here - Phantogram

[@freeheeler00]

About 10 or 11 years ago I was watching Billy play in the living room of a Bed and Breakfast in Little Lake, MI. There were maybe two dozen people there at most.

[@CaponeCraps]

Good musicians appreciate his musicianship. Everyone respects Billy and Billy respects everyone ❤

[@JimNeilson-ie6ss]

Awesome Tool needs to do a Metal version of DUST IN A BAGGIE ! THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOOL STYLE. METAL 1ON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

[@vincentcastellano6215]

Finally! I've always said that Tool is jam band music for metal heads 🤘💥

[@CrystalMcDermott]

Tool was my Gateway to Jam. Where I found The Disco Biscuits. B4L!

[@apctoolfrk]

Absolutely!

[@ileutur6863]

Except tool stopped jamming at their shows after the Lateralus era...

[@SterlingSimmons22]

Now Elder is the jam band for metal heads, and they are going to be opening for Tool

[@triple.a1086]

I went to see this as the first concert I had ever been to. I am glad to say that it was life changing. THERE WERE SO MANY LAZERS!

[@apctoolfrk]

What a way to start your concert journey! 🖤🤘🏻

[@ScottsGuitar]

Wow starting at the top good work! you’ll compare a lot of bands to this show and you’ll grow to appreciate tool even more lol. On a good night they’re the best live rock band in the world and I’ve seen em all.

[@JosephHPaine]

Welcome to the party kid ;)

[@letsrockaus]

Fuck yeah u legand .... let your life grow from hear on mate

[@mcbnj]

Lucky kid. My first show was disturbed and mudvayne with two lesser known opening acts in like 2001....Some dude let me hit a laced joint during Mudvayne and I passed out and had to be carried out, I watched Disturbed from the sideline and a security guard gave me his beer I must have been like 15

[@pappyj29]

What?! Billy was playing with Tool?! I caught Billy’s show the night before and it was INCREDIBLE! I was wishing I had TOOL tickets as well. Both are my favorite! Thanks for posting this

[@nopenada5767]

Ok so I feel a tad guilty watching this, as Tool are neurotic about recordings…buuuuuut… when I was in my 20’s I played Tool for my dad, when he was driving me back to school. He rocked out. Amazing memory. Now, my dad is in LOVE with Billy Strings. So when I forward this video to him, our past selves and our currents selves get a rad bonding moment again. Also, this man will always have one of the best singing voices in the world.🎉

[@AxiomApe]

Nah don’t feel guilty. Some people will only get to experience it through this way. I could be wrong but I feel like they probably don’t care as much now about recordings. When they first made that rule, it had been years since they released an album, brand new tour and new songs, and off the cusp of Covid 19 / quarantine it was just a wild time. I feel like by now, the mysticism of the new release/ new songs has settled enough that people should just be allowed to record. But then again, look at me being entitled lol. ✌️

[@NarutoUziGlocki]

@@AxiomApe maynard is still a dick about it

[@nickp440]

4:00 for anyone that wants to keep replaying Billys solo. That is so sick.

[@timturk1899]

I love watching from 3:55. Billy's doing the amazing "Cliff Burton Headbanging", that only Cliff in Metallica was known for (RIP Cliff!). Then a great solo, followed by the very cool dual leads!👍💯🔥🔥🔥🎶✌️

[@grallonson]

I'm so glad someone recorded this! I love Billy Strings so much, and when he came out last night I lost my shit. So amazing!!!

[@joansolomon5326]

Must have been awesome there. I’m curious if and how he was introduced.

[@johnb5713]

For real, they risked it all for us.

[@Marshall_Stacks]

@@johnb5713 Why does Tool have this Gestapo weirdness? I wouldn't have known about any of this without some clips on KZbin and now I'm stoked.

[@johnb5713]

@@Marshall_Stacks cause it sucks to be at concert where everyone is filming. They allow the last song to be filmed, so people can walk away with some memories.

[@theghostofrethsich2813]

I always take 30 second clips share on my feed I’ve never recorded a full song

[@timturk1899]

What's really cool is that Tool is one of the few bands you can play in the background during a podcast, without owing the band money (unlike almost all others). I used to watch "The Weed Nerds" w/Subcool, and he would always play Tool the entire time. These guys definitely aren't greedy, for sure! I think they just want fans focusing on why they're there. To experience Tool, and the phones are distracting from this. Plus, I'm thinking Maynard really hates it when everyone has their phone out. And if you want to look at your phone, you won't see Maynard. Maybe that's why he's always so high up there..?!🤔😄😄😄✌️

[@PeteOliva]

MONUMENTAL. So glad to see other amazing artists appreciate and contribute to Tool's music, and get to take part in it. I loved the harmonizing with Adam after Adam's part!!!

[@samthompson2269]

Me and the love of my life were standing right in front of Adam and Billy Strings… Epic!

I was at this show, first time seeing tool. I’ve been listening to them since they released there first CD but I’ve never been able to make it to one of there shows until this one. I’d have to say it was the best concert I’ve been to.

That kicked major ass. Reminds me of how the jam scene used to be. People dropping in. Thanks for posting.

[@ericschmid]

The crowd must have all been sedated to have sat there so calmly while witnessing this. Also hats off to Adam for yielding the stage a bit. And Danny's little improvisations in response to Billy's different guitar solo are nice.

Phenomenal and unexpected collaboration 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-hu5iq7ts6g]

So tool are freaking badasses as we all know. But BMFS is currently the undeniable most wanted mofo in all of music. There r 2 lists, one containing those who have already played with him wether it be on his stage or theirs. And the second list is all those who are anxiously awaiting their turn to jam with the omnipotent BILLY MOTHER FUKIN STRINGS. And that list is long and getting longer every day. And if ya don't know it his whole band are all truly gifted musicians. The music being made lately by all sorts of musicians is top notch, I feel blessed being 62 yo and experiencing all the great classic rock then the metal years followed by realizing I'm a DEADHEAD and immersing myself in all the freaking jam bands I could and finally getting bit by the bluegrass bug. I think 1961 was a terrific year to be born if you live for MUSIC "Just saying"

[@davidamandacrambell7520]

imagine how all is growing up in Michigan have felt for the last 20 years. my wife used to leave early on the nights Billy played because it was always a late night. The Best Coast has the best music and i will fight anyone that says otherwise!!!
