My first car was a 70 Chevelle. I was 16 years old and all the boys in my neighborhood were so mad that our neighbor sold the car to me. I loved that car.
I had a 79 Vette. Stick shift. Turd brown paint with sparkles in it tho. That chevette went to so many concerts (Nirvana, Woodstock 99). 200% miss that car. Would get out of class and like 4 people hotboxing in it. Early 90s were fuckin wild
My grandma had a 1966 Chevelle that I would borrow when I came to visit. I got a speeding ticket for doing 75 mph in a 35 mph zone on my way out of town. My family knew about it immediately because 3 of my aunts were together when they heard my ID called in over the scanner. They said that I had inherited my other grandmother's lead foot. She died before I was born but she had a reputation for driving like a maniac. But they didn't call me lead foot, they called me double mint because I was doing more than double the speed limit.
Going to see Billy in five days at the Gorge, so excited to actually see him, and show my husband what’s up, he doesn’t get my infatuation with Billy’s music, but he will on Saturday.❤
@@jakesegdirb He loves Billy now, he got t-shirts for both of us, 2 different ones for me and one for himself. I knew he would love Billy Strings! The whole day was fantastic, Willie Nelson was great, Dylan had a tight band& Billy said he usually does several dates on the Outlaw tour every year, but he could only do one Outlaw show this year and we were there for it. We are so lucky and blessed to see Billy’s only show!!!
Small Town Madness, Me driving by in a Old 55 Chevy 3100 with a 350 Uncapped headers, passing all the buzz heads at the local bar high as they can get in the backwoods. This song couldn't be more true! Love it BillyStrings. I first discovered you when I found the Dust In a Baggie song with all your buddies hanging out.
This is definitely proof the Billy is living the dream….and from what I can tell he has damn sure earned it! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a new badass car song. This guy buys a badass big block Chevelle & promptly writes a badass song in its honor. Maybe this could be a series of cool car songs. He could pull out the 502 and drop in a 572….and write a new song. Then pull out the 572 & drop in a 632….and write a new song. The possibilities are endless with this theme! 😂
Not enough car songs that aren't about truckin'.... He did a whole set of Train songs, would be good to see him add more to the canon of "cartrips/driving" songs....
Thank you for changing our lives one badass grass lick and one momentuously meaningful message at a time Billy. We love you more than we could ever describe or explain. This world has been made so much better with your light upon it. This song RIPS!!!!! I'd get along with Leadfoot 😎
I'm a 77 yr old Billy fan. Back in the day my husband and I had a 69 Chevelle SS. Loved that car! This awesome video and song brings back great memories. So excited for new album!!!!
When I was 15 in Arkansas my mother got a Maxima. I thought it was lame until I finally got to drive it. Wow, it was fun. It wasn't long before my mom had it in the shop for "a noise". The mechanic told her there was only one motor mount that wasn't snapped, when you revved it the whole engine would raise up. I got an old yellow Ford and dropped a 390 in it and turned it into a sleeper. Had to carry spare oil in the back. We'd drive 90 miles an hour to various fishing holes with an aluminum boat leaning up over the tailgate and slam Jaeger while bass fishing in 100 degree heat. That old truck was charmed, never got a ticket in it.
Got a similar story except it was a 95 chevy. Best truck I've ever had. Flipped it on the way back from the lake trying to not hit a dog lol Got my first speeding ticket the first week I got my new car. Miss that old girl
Years ago a friend of mine sent me a phone video of a kid playing a song he wrote on an acoustic guitar at a house-party The song was folky and bluesy but didn't pull any punches I've been hooked on Billy Strings work ever since
cannot believe you were able to get william dafoe to play leadfoot in this music video! wow man! you have came a long way! congratulations! you deserve it you are clearly gifted.
I mean its like the guy yelling at him and partying and fooling around is the same person driving the car. Its right after he died, he became a ghost and woke up to drive again, only to realise later - when facing himself dead - that he had died, and forgot who he was and his own name. Even in the live video first time playing this song they show just the zombie and old billy at the very end when seeing himself dead.And if you notice in the end its the zombie walking in heaven.
This dude just kills it with everything he does. I've got ten bucks says he owns that beautiful Chevelle and spins the tires off it on a regular basis.
While Grandpappy might not know the song, bet you dollars to donuts his foot would be tapping right along! Well if he wasn’t up yonder already with Earl and Lester!
The character in this video looks like a live version of this guy in your "Catch & Release" animated video.iczcams.com/video/mWcMXujMpkQ/video.htmlfeature=shared&t=12
LIke me, my Mama was a Leadfoot. I had a '69 Chevelle SS 396 in the 70's, and she loved to borrow it and burn up the street. Among other road 'badges,' she had 3 speeding tickets in the triple-digits in South Georgia (all in her Lincoln Town Car). They never even thought about taking her license because she was the Colonel's wife and a God-fearing Teetotaler... vroom vroom!
dude that aint even right ! a 72 SS? lol , i almost cried at the end,lol ! loved the song ,the vido, and absolutly loved the chevelle!!! takes me back! mine looked just like it except i had the 4 speed with the big block. great music keep up the good work guys!!!
This video has Primus vibes written all over it.
I didn't connect those dots, but yeah it does. Billy is a big Primus fan so it makes sense.
Primus Sucks!
My first thought too, Wynona's Big Brown with the make-up but all the camera angles scream Primus.
See them next weekend! Bummed I’m not in state college. Only 2.5 hrs from me 😔
@@djmike0699 I'm seeing them 8/16 in Richmond, VA.
The first Leadfoot>Slewfoot is going to be legendary
The Slewfoot he did in Bridgeport CT last year was incredible
Ole Slewfoot!!
Hahhahaa that would be awesome, hire Shoresy for that video.
Slewfoot vibes for sure. Would work with little Maggie too, like everything does haha
You know it bud
Big Daddy Roth is somewhere smiling.

Nope he is dead 💀
@@-UPGRADE- That's Ed driving the Chevelle, oll lead foot.
Hell yeah he is!

Harkens to the old "Rat Fink" days!
If there's one thing Billy is amazing at, it's respecting his elders and those that came before
Rat Fink style will live on forever! 🤘
Yep rat fink day's.🤣🤣
Reminds me of CarToon Magazines. I figured Billy a Camaro or Mustang guy but a Chevelle no.
When Ed Roth/Ratfink meets bluegrass.... absolutely amazing 🤘🏻🪕🔥
Big Daddy
Hell yeah bro.
Billy just out there jammin' the Vocals, Banjo, Guitar, Bass, Steel Guitar, and Ebow Electric Guitar. 😎🪕🎸🎸🎸🎸
Music good, video nah.
This one's going to get me a speeding ticket.
haha for real
Just listen to something better.
Certified state trooper classic
🤣🤣🤣
This would have made super troopers a whole lot better
Yup, I will certainly be seeing leadfoot in my nightmares

What did he end up thinking of Billy Strings?

I like that the ‘72 Chevelle got a spot in the credits. 🇺🇸 💪🏻
Great video!
the sound of its engine is in the recording so billy's credited for it like it's another instrument he played lol

This song is going to translate to the stage very well.
Boot stompin BMFS
Just witnessed tonight. Translating well is an understatement.
Saw it live last night in PA!!!
caught it last night live. absolutely amazing
10x better live!
can’t wait to close my eyes and listen to this on the way to work tomorrow
I hope you’re not a bus driver. 😅

You don't have to be high to watch this..... but it sure does help.

I think this would make the cars a tax write off, so it'd be smart business too
Not enough car songs that aren't about truckin'....
He did a whole set of Train songs, would be good to see him add more to the canon of "cartrips/driving" songs....
@@shtevenshteinI agree, not enough good car songs have been getting written for quite a while.
Bluegrass has always been the best drivin' music
You can tel Lead Foot has had his face melted off one or two times before!
I’m smokin, I’m burnin 🏎️🏎️
Got to keep these wheels a-turnin!
nothing better to wake up in the morning to than a new billy strings
Thank you for changing our lives one badass grass lick and one momentuously meaningful message at a time Billy. We love you more than we could ever describe or explain. This world has been made so much better with your light upon it.
This song RIPS!!!!! I'd get along with Leadfoot 😎
Check out Jesse Welles.
He's killing it too.
He's about to take off like Billy did.
@@matthewbeaver5026 He's good, but not in the same league musically imho. Great songs though!
Just ate 7 g of shrooms and this is hitting hard lol.....😅

I love this comment
It's like Jerry was a racecar driver for hillbillies. What a masterpiece,keep doing what your doing mr.strings!
I always got the feel that 'Jerry' Was "For Hillbillies" Too!...😂😁
no
He's not scraping any dust from the baggie. He's got a robust supply.
I'll guess he was smokin' more then just tires! Great song!
Grass gas or ass

Mr Strings is our generation's great . No question

Billy for President
Strings 2024
There's a great idea! ❤
I think he's too young until '28
This music video perfectly encapsulates what I think of when I hear Billy Strings
🤣
I thought that was some Primusesque caricature of Steve Buscemi. And its Blue Grass. What a great day.
I just ran me a red light and when I parked I seen this dropped an hour ago. Tremendous.
My first time enjoying Blue Grass for real. Always like it but never got into it. This right here…I’m a lover now!! Thank you Billy!!
2:05 It's great to see that the green t-shirt guy lore continues
cannot believe you were able to get william dafoe to play leadfoot in this music video! wow man! you have came a long way! congratulations! you deserve it you are clearly gifted.
dang it, now I can't not see that.
Can’t stop laughing at this video. This is brilliant. Love you Billy
This song and the video are encoded with an esoteric dimension that conceals and reveals the greatest mysteries and secrets of this age.
Well, this is being added to my "Sorry about that, officer" playlist.
Always good to see Vincent Herman. Leftover Salmon is such an incredible band.
Ratfink lives!
Oh, we are sooo getting an album soon
september 27th. check the description of this video!!

Leadfoot out here transcending our reality, I’d let him drive however fast he wants
Vince Herman doing his Jesse Duke impression naturally
Thank you so much for two spectacular nights in Bridgeport!
❤
It's not the nail in my head that is the problem,..it's the pain from the nail in my head that's the problem 😂 bravo 👏👏
North Carolina loves you Billy!!!
There was definitely waaaaay to much fun had in this video😂😂😂😂😂
Billy you're the best!
I’m 62 and I didn’t realize videos were still being done😂😂😂😂😂😂😎✌️🇺🇸
Somehow this is perfect for when someone wakes you up in the middle of the night to get a shack and take vitamins together.
Amazing song, billy. Great times in Worcester the past two nights. We want you back in town!
Wait what?! Worcester MA???? Fuck I missed it didn't I? I just found out about him this morning.
@@brandon43575best show I’ve ever been to. Jaw still on the floor
@@brandon43575yea you missed an epic 2 nights at the DCU…epic
@@ryanmeehan7325 Damn did he jump straight to DCU? Or has he done the Palladium too? Either way, he deserves all the recognition and more.
@@ryanmeehan7325Sure was a fine couple of nights. Would love to have him back
Les Claypool is LOVING this shit
Finally good tunes!!!
This dude just kills it with everything he does.
I've got ten bucks says he owns that beautiful Chevelle and spins the tires off it on a regular basis.
He does own it, he posts pics of it regularly on Insta
Yeah he bought it a few years ago
He recently sold it, but he used to own it. He used a loaner for this video.
This is what happens when you listen to and take the advice of the Billy Strings “Richard Petty” song when you are driving! Love it! 🚥
Billy at the gorge outlaw festival next week 🎉
Love seeing Vince in this.
Hoo doggy! What a JAM!
I drive a Civic but it identifies as a Chevelle, LFG Billy 🐐 🔥
Bumping this rn in my 09 civic with my subs in the trunk 🤣🤣😭😭
Dudes got a nail in his head, outta call him leadhead!
Well alrighty!!
And if you’re not in bed before midnight, come on home!
Well that was a RIDE!
Billy is a Primus fan and it shows
no hes not and no it doesnt
Billy got a Chevelle. 🇺🇸👊🏻
This had to have been a blast to make
Billy Strings buit my hotrod, Gibby!
A ‘72 Chevelle…perfect choice!
Love it. Coolest thing I seen in years. Perfect song and video mating.
Feels like MeatCanyon designed this whole thing lol
Well I'll be damned. Who knew Cyraxx was in a music video!
HELL YEEEESSS!
Vince! Billy should do a tour with leftover. Momentum!
This ain't ya grandpappy's bluegrass.👍✌
Actually it kinda is.
While Grandpappy might not know the song, bet you dollars to donuts his foot would be tapping right along!
Well if he wasn’t up yonder already with Earl and Lester!
My head cannon is that this ain't aging prosthetics just too much dust in a baggy
Love the Rat Fink look

Love that 'alternate tuned' banjer.

Well golly gee that was righteous!
You're still singing strong. Wish I could set n smoke a joint n play music with you just once. Love you Willie.
Oooooooo weeeeeee!
Woooooohooooooooo
The speed, always like Billy strings for warm up on the drums
Got to watch this more than once.
This is a great backroad cruising song!
It's like a bad acid Trip while watching Ren and stimpy
hell yeah, Billy!
Damn good billy, i just let the ponies run from shorts back to Ellsworth! This is up there with hot rod Lincoln and i cant drive 55. Sweet video too!
holy smokes that's soup beans cornbread and taters right there🎸
Mr. Billy Strings 🤠🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
This guy is so amazing at all that he does. I'll give you 10 bucks to say he owns that gorgeous Chevelle and regularly spins the tires off of it.
It’s his, there are a few old interviews with him talking about it
I swear this song already came out...
Lead foot looks super badass

This has the vibes of that one crazy music video we all know that was lost to time in the early 2000s
