I came across this today. Billy G is well known for telling some tall takes, but here is Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) telling some stories about BIlly from when they toured with ZZ Top.

The last two lines in that video regarding Billy….

“I love him man. What an original.”

If you want some insight into Gibbons (at least his early days), read Sharp Dressed Men by David Blayney. His descriptions of Gibbons certainly paint him as interesting and unique, but not always in a good way.

Sounds like a good read. I wish I could say I was a model citizen back in my younger days, but alas, it is not the case.

Early BG is still some of the greatest blues rock guitar tone in history.
