Billy Duffy can hold his own with the best of them. No frills just thrills

Billy is just the real deal. Loving it for more than 35+ years.

Here's Billy doing one of my fave Cult songs. Awesome! He makes the Gretsch look easy and it's not. Thank you Billy for being YOU.

This is the greatest thing about the internet.

Well hell yeah! The GREAT Billy Duffy making it "Rain"! I love this! Thanks for sharing Candy!

He was in our local pub just over a week back

I was just going to say! He looks all pubbed out! Usually, Billy Duffy is a very skinny and in shape guy.

Wow thanks

INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING !!!

Billy you're a humble guitar hero. I try but i still can't play what you make easy.

Rock on 🎸🎶🤘

The coolest

The master Cult ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thought it was Jim Royle - brilliant .

cool AF

Tone as thick as molasses!

If H E has to focus on this: 1) He is a 100% professional master perfectionist. And 2), Imagine how hard it really is.

That would be the crew

Sounds awesome. in the late 70's as a teenager i worked back stage at a Heart concert just setting up tables of food etc for the large crew before the night's show. Me being a 'guitar player' kid, i heard someone playing so i walked around to the front of the stage similar to this and saw Roger Fisher warming up. I was amazed, so i stared at him for a while as he played all kinds of things lots of leads and just a great player. After a while he might have got tired of me staring at him and he made a face at me lol , so i moved on and went back to milling around the area . Then Nancy Wilson suddenly showed up on roller skates and skated around the large open arena and smiled at me when she skated by, ahhh rock and roll.

If you have big riff's you have great songs ,,

It's a show too ! 😂

I'm lucky to own one. Going to the grave with me.

We have always wonder who owns the other signature black falcons. We never see people post that they have one. So few were made. We are thrilled to own one, especially one that was owned by Billy himself!! Ours is super special to us!

@@DirtyxLarry This is Paul -- buyer of Billy's Black Falcon in the video. I searched and searched for years to buy a Sig model Black Falcon. I have a sig model White Falcon but the Blacks were no where to be found. I called Gretsch and they said only 46 were ever made. You are very, very lucky to have one! When i had the chance to buy Billy's I couldn't believe it -- I jumped at the chance. I also own a black 1968 custom shop Les Paul Custom i bought in 2019 from Billy Duffy, which is what ultimately opened the door to buying the Black Falcon. Apparently Billy still owns 1 more Black Falcon, he said he only ever had 2 of them. Not sure why he let this one go -- other than he said he's not much of a collector of gear. When we met him in San Antonio he raved about how good the Black Falcon in the video is -- seemed almost sad to let it go. I told him i would never sell it -- unless it was to sell it back him. He chuckled and said "i might do that" ... ha ha. It was fun to see him play it live at the San Antonio show for 2 songs for the last time. Plus, his guitar tech explained in detail how Billy has his Falcons uniquely set up. Very interesting.

Has to be hard on the back. Billy has a little help - the higher strings on the guitar have higher action making it easier for him to get those higher notes with the falcon hanging low. But still impressive nonetheless

Loved the Cult past tense , Ian needs a major overhaul I think the Cult is representative of a group that wasted golden opportunities multiple times thanks to Ian, sadly the Cult realized their potential long after their popularity had eroded and they now seem desperate to breathe life into a fire that's long dead but for the nostalgia. Like a chicken with it's head cut off the feet are still kicking but the Cult is already dead RIP

Meh....
