Can’t wait to play with Mr. Strat O’Caster one day 😎

Awesome.

Les was just like Billy he always treated everyone he met with respect

My mom was the cleaning lady at a villa Iron Maiden stayed in when they did a gig in the Algarve back in '93. She was absolutely amazed at how nice, polite and clean they were and became a lifelong fan (she was already 45 at the time and obviously grew up listening to Sinatra, Bennett, Aznavour, etc. so metal was definitely not her thing). She best remembers Janick Gers and Nicko being consummate gentlemen and always talked about how clean and beautiful their hair was 😁.

​@@sandroleandro2493 ​ A friend of mine was a hotel housekeeper back in the early 90s, and she knocked on a door to change the sheets, and Kevin Dubrow answered the door, with the rest of Quiet Riot standing in the room behind him. She recognized him and went total fangirl, and they invited her in, and they wound up hanging out all afternoon. She said they were really nice guys. But the best story I ever heard, second hand, was a musician friend of mine whose mom, who knew nothing about rock, came home one day and told my friend she'd wound up at lunch with one of her office's clients. She said, "I had lunch with the nicest man today. It turned out he's a musician too, he's in a rock band. Have you ever heard of a singer called Robert Plant?"

I don't think people appreciated enough period we live in a time when when basically all we want and sometimes what we don't want is available at our fingertips. I don't know how I found this video I was rocking George Benson period previous to that was Murray Head. Pet Shop Boys. And it brought me here. Music Vining is the only thing left of what used to be KZfaq. I love this stuff. These old guys are classy and classic.

Funny, I am the 59 th that liked your comment.

These two are some of the finest guitarists . Thanks for sharing this classic treasure of a video.

I GOT HOOKED ON THE SOUND OF A LES PAUL THROUGH A MARSHALL AT15.YOU HAVE TO TRY IT,THEN YOURE HOOKED FOR LIFE,NO ONE CAN TAKE .A WHOLE GENERATION DID THE SAME THING.

MEANT A WHOLE GENERATION KNOWS AND LOVES GTHE LES PAUL.

Yer right, plus everyone with ears owes him a debt, due to 99.9% of the population on earth hearing Multitrack Recording, his wife was a ***** though..

​@@stequisThis ain't about Les though😮!

​@@LeonardGuilloryWHAT???? If it's not about him, why is he there???? Go figure!!!!! It's about everyone in this video.

@@LeonardGuillory . You really have no idea about WHO Les Paul is ? Billy is Great , but Les is R O Y A L T Y .

I do !!!🎉🙏🏼🎭⚜️🎶

Well, I've never heard of you but now I'll look you up.

I found nothing.

Are you Donald Montgomery, Orchestra Director at Barrington Station Middle School Barrington Hills, Illinois?

Don’t forget the invention of sound on sound multi-track recording!

@@brucekuehn4031 Dude invented the looper in the last video I watched ha.

UHHHH YEAHHHHH

Les could play circles around these, what a pioneer of. Modern music

@@Steven_ologist hello

I wish that I knew of Paul's music and I would have followed him all over the country. I only recently saw his playing with Mary. Mary with the angelic faces! So much humility from both. O nly recently I heard them on internet but I miss them so much.

Why would one even try to counter Paul's interview style....? It's well established to act like one doesn't notice any irregularities. Especially with slightly nutty intelligent legends , who keeps going on about that beard and what's under that hat . And above all laugh out of politeness , even when there's nothing to laugh about.

Les Paul and Billy Gibbons are totally hilarious together!

'How High the Moon' by Les Paul, one of the first songs John Lennon and Paul McCartney played together in pub gigs . . .

Les knows damn well who he is and what his name his and his band. People are so silly.

Dang He gets to play a Les Paul with Les Paul Don't get any better than that 😘

I don't get it

King of the Gibson 🎸❤️👑

❤😢😂

😮LES!!! 😮

Harry Prater microphone.4 track recorder. Electric guitar. Amp..yeah..a few.

What he started was sound on sound recording. Which preceded the 4 track recorder.

Les is the Damn reason I got myself one of his axes, it kinda does the work for me, Les Paul didn't know Jim Marshall but without those two I'd probably be a MF'n Door to Door Salesman with Detergent or Shampoo or some shit! Geniuses!

Harry Prater Bernard cribbans

He also invented sound on sound recording. First heard with his beautiful wife Mary Ford on How High The Moon.

watch the video with Mary Ford, its a setup but he's really funny

Steve Miller was his neighbor and he gifted him lessons and when Steve later career had a guitar gifted by Mr Paul

Amazing

So good

Absolutely legends having a ball 💯

Les Paul represents the quintessential American Creative Genius! He is an example of what made America great.

Begg to differ. Eddie Van Halen

Van Halen holds a patent for a flip-out support device that attaches to the rear of the electric guitar.[48] This device enables the user to play the guitar in a manner similar to the piano by orienting the face of the guitar upward instead of forward.[49][50][51] However, he is not in the Inventors Hall Of Fame. Check here: www.invent.org/NIHF-hall-of-fame-inductees-list-alphabetical#section-4916

Shows you how screwed up they are. Tom Sholz should be in both as well.

@@RalphPaglia1 Shows you what I know, hell, I thought Trump is what made America great!! 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Ies Paul is the best

But a quick to ego degrade. Dont tramp my flower. He' not that great and old stuff.

@@lisaweaver986 What are you on about? Can you speak english please?

Awesome!

@@lisaweaver986 He was a great musician! Y B A FOOLISH person!

N

yes...be cool......enjoy the moment......

Tony Round -Definitely, Les loved playing with everyone, from any style of music, even if they didn't play the guitar he designed. He was a top notch human being first, and a guitar guy second.

Thin skinned people. Who cares. Good friends fuck with each other. I´d let him kick me in the balls just to let him bust my balls.

We work our a.... off as rule to survive a lot of folks don't have the money or time to stop working to enjoy life take a break so to speak I know no one cares but this is nice. Some other good videos similar to this

KZfaq has got to be the greatest thing to ever happen to show us all the things we would never get to witness without it !

Jack Charles Such a nice guy

@@pippipster6767 I almost felt bad for Homeless dude -- BUT - Les is being honest, he's an old guy that doesn't know Billy Gibbons from a hole in the wall. Yes, he embarrassed him, don't think it was meant that way.

@Christopher Ross I say, BULLSHIT. Les knows many artists true, but he did not know nor understand the ragamuffin playing w/ him.

Nothing to say just listen

They say it all if you just listen

mixville2 lespaul.org

If Billy hadn't, he would agree to jam on one of his songs, but he is serious about them, so he denied the opportunity. Well, he has his view.

I played next to him every day for a decade! Kept a poster of him in the studio because it never felt right to have no god looking over my shoulder during practice, believe me it works.

I also write lyrics and someday I hope to get them published

@@quantumsith442 yes you always have to have a guy looking over your shoulder it Comforts The Heart and it gives a thought of mine the feeling the song speaks out more clearly

@@quantumsith442 I also write lyrics and I understand having a god watching over his shoulder at your practice he helps me put words together so far I got 360 8 lyrics

Because it's a 12-bar blues.

These two are legendary

​@@Gruuvin1Still...

It comes easy when you actually are a ... you know ... a musician. Actually ... i even have a very strong suspicion thats why they named that like that. But thats just guesing things on my part here, what do i know ;PPP

They are professional musicians who have something in common, the love of music itself.

Couldn't have said it better mane

*Willy Gibson

Hoontsz ITE I'll

The beard already said that. Never knew he was that good a musician, not knowing anything other than Legs.. The sound I'm getting from my computer speakers from this clip is fantastic.

What a good sport Billy is

If the only ZZ Top song you have heard is Legs, you are missing out....big time.

got that right. zz top nods over and over to the OG's of the blues- where you think that boogie came from? can you say john lee hooker? billy f gibbons is a huge custom car guy- i'd be peein in my old bluejeans if i was even 50 feet near les OR billy f.

I don't think I want to imagine that. LOL

great comment

To think ZZ top might not be here if it wasn't for a farmer Texas

That farmer had no idea what he was helping to create. Crazy to think about how if 1 thing in time was changed like if Willie was on his way to that farmer to buy that Les Paul and his car got a flat tire and the farmer ended up selling the guitar to another guy then everything that was created by ZZ Top might not of existed. Any number of things could of changed the course of fate for the bearded boys that day and we wouldn't of had the great music by one of the best bands in the world. You know I call that farmer and Willie's interaction and exchange of money for that Les Paul guitar? I call that gate my friends.

Actually it was a Gibson Melody Maker that was the turning point in the history of rock & roll. Young Billy G. got it for Christmas when he was about 5 ir 6 years old. 💪 🇺🇸

Rumour spreadin round

love this!

Love your comments.ditto

Jack Blaznowski lespaul.org

His personality is just like the music he plays. A true blues man.

Im just gonna throw this out….. this is a bit staged…. I love them both tho and Billie got that promo in so it’s all good….. a lot of this was pre written…. The other stuff is them. They want ya to think it just happens like that but it don’t…. There’s a lot that goes into this before anyone shows up… however the music is all them. And basically all that really matters.

class and cool as ice

It’s called respect ✊

Amazing, Love this!!!!

The greatest music comes from the greatest state.

chris lentz thanks man!! It sucks. just as I got old enough to go to bars I was planning a trip to see him in New York and that same year I was going he passed away. I was always bumbed.

he's dead ?!

escaton74 yeah LesPaul Paul passed in 2009

*bummed

I never knew Les Paul was such a funny, love able down to earth guy. May you Rest In Peace fella. Much love.

Only a couple? lol

ZZ Top is the name the band Billy Gibbons is in; his name is *not* ZZ Top!

@@JDines By the way, which one's Pink?

I know what you're saying and it's very true

Don't forget that Jethro Tull guy.

You gotta have a sense of humor. Besides this is stuff I would ask if I had the chance.

Angus Young plays amazing acoustic blues, but as he says, he doesn't get paid for playing that.

Probably because he never do it.

Well, he was very nice to Lespaul and full of respect... In front of the very old man whose hands are definitely too old for swinging, he didn't put out his usual technique and energy... This definitely shows his class...

He hung out with and big friend of BB King. Willy is pure class.

For sure and it sounded so good.

@Philthy McNasty 1915-2009. He died of pneumonia. Had an incredible life though.

dalekenjarvis mmmmmmmm

...and survive :D

Amen!

only nelson mandela could call the queen "elzabeth" and live, and the same is for les paul and Billy. XD

yea, and nobody can call you by your first name and not cry :D

Only, you, brave coward could use a pseudo-anonymous Epurp3 to slag another pseudo-anonymous name! Stop hiding behind OZ's curtain.

Plus three. Lou is amazing. He plays the bass line, and melody, in chords, on every beat.

He's lucky he can play at all after a bad car accident in the 40's. He had it set so he could angle it to play guitar. It was never the same after that but it worked for guitar.

Colerain Fan - Bet you wish you had a fraction of his talent

Back in the early 1950's Les Paul and wife Mary Ford had a short 5 minute TV program we could see just before the TV station would sign off for the night here in the Seattle area. They were fantastic. I was only 7 or 8 years old at the time but I still remember their shows!

Legend. Period.

I like the singer he is good

kawikamac billy gibbons jamming With les Paul will always be cool sir! 😎

Cool back in the day and still cool

Definitely didn't lose any of it's cool!

Old man watch your mouth, I still think this is cool as hell

Reminds me of my grandfather. He taught me the art of the dozens from ground zero

he didnt invent the electric guitar...but he did amazing things.

He got in a bad car accident with Mary Ford who slid on some snow or something while she was driving and the car went down an embankment and his arm got all messed up. He couldn't bend it properly after that so he had to have it set in a certain position. He told the doctor the way he wanted to have it set so he could still play the guitar. Tough and classy guy. Didn't give up.

Doogie,Don Douglas The B Sides of Classic Rock Thank you said that perfectly. Our world gets worse everyday every year because we lose people like them it's a shame can't remember my exact age early 50s but enjoy our history more than the times I'm living in.

I am sure that you are correct. Some people seem to be thinking that Les Paul was just a partially out of it senior citizen at the time this occurred and that he had no idea whom he was speaking with. I am virtually sure he knew who Gibbons was. He is asking very good questions that draw Mr. Gibbons out and give him an opportunity to reveal interesting facts to his owns fans. And I think Gibbon probably appreciated such a personalized interview. Also, Les Paul did not challenge him on his statement "I wrote a thing called 'How High the Moon.' It was covered by a guy who invented a guitar or something... " other than to say "You did...?" I am not sure what Gibbons was getting at with that statement but he obviously was not the composer of the classic that Les Paul highlighted on television in 1951 (Gibbons was two years old at the time). Both of them are music legends and it was amazing to see them interacting together like that.

He didn't need to prove that, but he showed he could play some jazz too.

Right? Good call there!!

As a young boy it was energizing listening to ZZTop records in the early to mid 70's . Still listening to them today. What an amazing band.

yeah this isnt blues its jazz

João Simões not to many people understands art/talent

Wait a minute, didn't Hendrix play a Strat? Me thinks you're completely wrong!! AND, Fender produced the second mass produced, commercially available electric guitar in 1950 (Telecaster), the Les Paul wasn't available until 1952!!! So sorry, I'm sure we would still have Hendrix and Page and all the rest!!! Les Paul was responsible for inventing multi-track recording, not the electric guitar!

@@apocalypserailroad9047 Les Paul made the first solid body electric guitar. Plus sound on sound I am lucky enough to still have my 1958 Les Paul Jr .

​@@timsmith9169 - Paul may have made a solid body electric, not first, but "second" (by and for himself by 1941), but Fender made, as I stated before, the second mass produced, commercially available electric (solid body) guitar in 1950! Paul's was NOT available until 1952, so that places his in a solid third place! AND, my comment was in response to Scott Tucker's original post, stating that without Les Paul, we would simply not have rock music or any of the great guitar players that came along!! I totally disagree. As for the *first* "solid body" electric guitar, the winner would have to go to Rickenbacker and Beauchamp for their 1931/32 A-22 lap steel guitar!! But hey, who's really interested in actual history anyway?
