Billy Strings goes hardcore metal with Flesh & Blood Robot in Grand Rapids

Bluegrass guitar hero Billy Strings turned into a metal-shredding electric guitarist in a 'surprise' homecoming show when he joined Michigan's Flesh and Blood Robot for their reunion show at a sold-out Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on March 17, 2024.

Anywhere there’s a crowd of people listening to music, Billy is there.

[@brandonhinkley1106]

[@DIAMONDJIM-ex4ix]

This guy is all around great musician and a great guy BEST

[@nickdesha6540]

Billy is a badass. Crossing genres! Class act!

[@MarkLavengood]

It was amazing! So glad to discover the vibrant metal scene through his hometown and OG connects!

[@billsneedjills6675]

Probably the simplest stuff Billy's played in a minute, but it's about the energy and change ups and that is the only binding tie between Bluegrass and Screamin' for Vengeance
Slamgrass is clearly a genre that hasn't nearly been explored nearly enough.
The Steven Seagulls are bringing it up a notch ...there's whole Lotta space there yet to cover.

Not really that simple at all

​@@PallahDaOracleI mean artistry is artistry but it's no First Fragment.

No One Get's Out Alive has some Banjo Slam and Appalachian Anarchy has Deathgrass

[@tetvris]

[@lauderpromotions587]

All new respect for that noodler.

[@B.radmaga69]

❤

[@joefrank5274]

A call back to where he came from.

[@scottymckay2813]

Definitely not my cuppa tea, but cool to see Billy play w/ yet another of his idols and influences.

[@macstacks2451]

Billy "Him" Strings.

[@MainPrism]

Everyone of this dude's screams sound exactly the same. No wonder noone's ever heard of them...

[@clarencedthewrench8790]

I don't think Chris Fox cares of your opinion. I was at this show and it was legendary amazing. Check out Chris Fox's other main band "See You Next Tuesday"

[@soradispaul]

This genre was the shit back in the day. Now it seems so silly compared to the new trend of hardcore infused death metal.

[@jimmyc671]

If only they had a singer.

[@PallahDaOracle]

Like what? Not a metal singer?

[@jimmyc671]

I love metal, but this guy has Zero talent. With a capital Z.

[@ATI_2014]

I bet he's made more money and a bigger fan base in a metal band than you ​@@jimmyc671 just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not good or not talent

[@tigersfan125]

This is infinity better than bluegrass

[@thetruenorth5714]

Grind sucks

[@jailbreakcrew666]

You sound like you need a hobby

[@trissyb4096]

[@drummurdroid]
