This video is a real blessing for all those who appreciate the real talent and skills of unsurpassed geniuses of the art of music. And whoever posted it on youtube ... thank him/her (whatever) to the gates of Heaven and back for this blessing !!! Well, now ... let's leave Slash and the great, late Les Paul aside, and... with all due respect to all the other guitar players of the known Universe, Brian Setzer is perhaps (at least for now...at this moment) the only one in the branch who can take me back to some mid-1920s and decade by decade back to present day ... without make me feel bored at all during that trip!! Whenever that dude lays his fingers on the guitar neck...I'm sure that some magic is going to happen! Even during his casual gigs, an attentive listener could notice that he's doing it with joy...from the deep within! And that's exactly what makes him one of the greatest guitar players alive nowadays!!! Once again thanks a million to anyone who posted this!!!
Well, he is playing with Les Paul, so there has got to be a connection. So Brian plays Les Pauls' most favorite Gibson model (Which is not a Les Paul as we know it)
He played Guild guitars almost exclusively in the mid 80's. They made a custom Bluesbird for him, while it was never a Setzer signature model, it said in Guild catalogs that it was "designed with Brian Setzer".
Love Brian Setzer Chris...! Great video here of a very underated guitar player..! Setzer is terrific and he can sing too!.. Usually plays his Gretsch "Hot Rod"....
Anyone think that this is a Guitar Battle between Brian and Slash doesn't know anything about Guitar and Music at all. This performance is for Brian. Slash is only playing Rhythm here. He's not supposed to overlap Brian's playing. Anyone who does that is an a-hole.. no matter how good guitar player you are.
Pat - I love it when some performers fly under the radar, kinda like 'our own little secret' . Big stars are sometimes a disappointment, over hyped, exposed, etc. But the more obscure talelnt is oftentimes superior, maybe because of it. One way or another, Brian is one of the coolest guys around.
Great playing as I’m used from Setzer. Slash can play great too and Les. Different genre’s, but their heart in the right place. Hope Brian can recover soon from the hearing thing. :(
Ya slash seemed like he figured out what key they were in and occasionally just strummed the chord the key was in, lol! Slash is a great rock player though.
check his Red Lightning Blues. Pretty rough sounding, not too complicated. But it's all just personal. Besides this they both rock, but on a different field.
Slash was probably drunk or in dope in that time period. Slash has gotten a lot better over the years. Sure he’s not in the same league as these guys but he’s good in his own right. He has a style that is pretty identifiable at least. There are many better players who you couldn’t make that claim.
Brian Setzer is one of the best guitarists in the business, who can play virtually any style. Slash can only play Slash, which is really not that much.
Setzer playing a Les Paul, Slash playing a standard - I thought for a minute the earth had tilted on it's axis?! Just another "Any Thing Can Happen" Jam Night with Les Paul ........ whew, I was worried for a minute there!!
Hi Chris, I was at this actual show at the Iridium with Les Paul. Brian Setzer, Slash, Dr John and someone else who I forget. Was it all filmed? There was a brilliant bit where Les was sitting playing next to Slash. He looked out at us at the tables then looked at Slash who was lost in playing, reached over and lifted Slash's long fringe up and smiled up at him. It was pure quality. Was it caught on video? I would love to see it. Slash was on the table behind mine. He was freed after being handcuffed naked to hotel bed frame later that night by the police. I saw it on the news the day after. Rock 'n' Roll....Quality. Great night, great food!
Setzer is not confined to one genre and has chops for days. I only really heard Slash at the very end of the song so I can't comment on his ability outside of hard rock.
Pô que velho podre da um passa bem e depois limpa as mãos com a toalha. grande guitarrista esse tal Les Paul. mas que mancada....Bert .Brayan Setzer...
At about 1:06 Les Paul was really telling the guy of for something (?) any body know what it was all about. (I thought Slash was out of his depth here, but he kept it cool. Brian S can really play lots of styles
Gibson Les Paul....the best guitar in the world !! And if it's in the hands of Brian, well, there's nothing else to say !! Anyway it's the first time i see Brian without a Gretsch !
Anyone think that this is a Guitar Battle between Brian and Slash doesn't know anything about Guitar and Music at all. This performance is for Brian. Slash is only playing Rhythm here. He's not supposed to overlap Brian's playing. Anyone who does that is an a-hole.. no matter how good guitar player you are.
whatever. I used to greatly respect Setzer but now in combination with other things I've seen , I think he's a bit of an ass. Obviously he was wowed by Slash's uncanny ability and wanted to test him by playing something he (Setzer) probably learnt when he was 15 and has been playing for like 30 years... yeah good one. Had he tried a jazz/rockabilly duel off that would have been far more appropriate and interesting. Both of those guys have certain phrasing voices dominant in a few different modes/(whatever else you want to call a group of theories used at will). I know enough about Slash's playing and ways to know that you would have to really bring it to put him into a spot where he gets stuck. I haven't seen enough of Setzer improvising and I know that as a singer/player, whatever he plays is well rehearsed. So yea, I don't think your little comment was funny and I think it just makes you sound like a dick so don't talk to me like I'm stupid.
This is Brian's performance. Slash didn't had the chance to play and just played Rhythm. I don't think he can just turn up his guitar and play over Brian's. That's an a-hole move and no expert Guitar player would do that. It's like someone is singing and another singer would suddenly overlap the other singer's voice..
A guitarrist called Slash who only can play "hard rock" faster and louder jamming with Brian, a man who can play everything with to much technique. Brian is much better than this "rude boy" slash.
lots of stupid comments here written by people who don't know much about music. Brian Setzer is not underrated - he decided to perform and record in a genre that isn't mainstream but highly acclaimed by the critics. Slash played guitar in one of the biggest acts of the 80s - and after that didn't produce lots of relevant stuff. Lots of footage here on youtube makes me wonder if he really is outstanding - or not. But whatsoever: he was a part of guns and roses and is a part of musical history
Justin Beiber has been one of the biggest acts of the 21st century so far, popular doesn't always equate to incredible talent. Setzer is a jazz guitarist, any halfway decent jazz guitarist has no problem playing rock, but watch rockers like Slash try to play jazz, they are way out of their league. You aren't wrong to question his talent, he's OK I guess, but I never thought he had any kind of mastery over the fretboard, he and Axle Rose were the reasons I could never get into G&R, even in their heyday.
joe22589 i get you. Slash is my guy. I love Brian Setzer. Absolutely underrated and In this case Slash did seem a little lost. Both great at what they do respectively
Slash got owned... He didn't belong in the same stage.... A one-dimensional rock guitarist can't even fumble a simple song that's completely out of his realm
Way out of his depth , this is not a loud mash up. Total finess is required. No distortion here! There's a a lot to be said about really good playing without a thousand amplifiers!
"whatever. I used to greatly respect Setzer but now in combination with other things I've seen , I think he's a bit of an ass.

I love the way brian shows em all up all the time
Brian Setzer can not only play but he can sing his rear off...! The guy is one heck of a performer...!!!
his talent was hidden under the stray cats ... love his version of sleepwalk
Great job... especially keeping Slash tucked away off to the side and you couldn't hear him...😂
Brian Setzer is such a legend !
This video is a real blessing for all those who appreciate the real talent and skills of unsurpassed geniuses of the art of music. And whoever posted it on youtube ... thank him/her (whatever) to the gates of Heaven and back for this blessing !!!

Once again thanks a million to anyone who posted this!!!
Setzer is a real guitar hero
Brian and Les would have made the most phenomenal albums together. For any Jazz/Rock'n Roll lovers, of course. Even just one!
Setzer without a Gretsch ?? Shocking, but what a great player.
its a guitar, not a tuba!
Well, he is playing with Les Paul, so there has got to be a connection. So Brian plays Les Pauls' most favorite Gibson model (Which is not a Les Paul as we know it)
He played Guild guitars almost exclusively in the mid 80's. They made a custom Bluesbird for him, while it was never a Setzer signature model, it said in Guild catalogs that it was "designed with Brian Setzer".
And a killer singer
Love Brian Setzer Chris...! Great video here of a very underated guitar player..! Setzer is terrific and he can sing too!.. Usually plays his Gretsch "Hot Rod"....
Brians got some pipes for sure!
Setzers a monster player.
Slash had his volume turned all the way down because he didn't know what he was doing
Yeah, Slash was out of his depth here
It didn't look like he was engaged with Setzer at all.
Slash is Just a mess
Slash can pay the blues, it’s just that this jazzy groove is not his thing at all.
Anyone think that this is a Guitar Battle between Brian and Slash doesn't know anything about Guitar and Music at all.
This performance is for Brian. Slash is only playing Rhythm here. He's not supposed to overlap Brian's playing. Anyone who does that is an a-hole.. no matter how good guitar player you are.
That Gibson burst into flames after Setzer had his way with it.
Great Les Paul! Rock and Roll guitars thank him.
Brian Senser is awesome!
It only show,s what a great music player this man is.1000÷
Where does Brian not swing? Even trading licks with Joe Bonamassa the man swings. Brian is a national treasure. He needs to be recognized as such.
Pat - I love it when some performers fly under the radar, kinda like 'our own little secret' . Big stars are sometimes a disappointment, over hyped, exposed, etc. But the more obscure talelnt is oftentimes superior, maybe because of it. One way or another, Brian is one of the coolest guys around.
Lol, he could tear Bonamassa a new ine, but the dude is humble as fuck.
Brian Setzer is a step above the rest.
I was there, second table from stage , middle.
Great playing as I’m used from Setzer. Slash can play great too and Les. Different genre’s, but their heart in the right place. Hope Brian can recover soon from the hearing thing. :(
Les Paul looks less than "happy" to have Brian there
I wouldn’t want to get showed up either.
You can clearly see Les Paul, is impressed!
Early 70's Les Paul Recording - No Bigsby - COOL!! Still sounds like Brian. He exudes Cool.
my 2 faves together ! it's a shame les was having a break
He makes it look so easy.
Les: "Brian...Brian Sensor. ...Brian Sensor. .....bless his heart.
Fantastic. Thanks for the upload :)
Thanks :)
To be honest I picked up on the body language that Les was pissed off and walked off stage at the start. Did anyone else feel that vibe too?
Oh! Setzer playing a Gibson!
what happened Slash? why didn't you play your warm up exercise "sweet child o'mine"? LOL! 🤣
Just love bri❤❤
Bri in that hoodie I could cry😭 AMAZING BABY
Setzer needs a time machine to take him back to the future!
He's not better than Jeff Beck but who is
@@nhannyheil6934Im sorry to say this but he is better
Slash!??? Seriously?? Setzer is light years beyond in all aspects on the guitar.
Slash is good, but yeah, he's no Setzer.
Ya slash seemed like he figured out what key they were in and occasionally just strummed the chord the key was in, lol! Slash is a great rock player though.
Mark Kunie This just isn't Slash's genre. Put Setzer in the jungle and see if he can keep up. ;)
check his Red Lightning Blues. Pretty rough sounding, not too complicated. But it's all just personal. Besides this they both rock, but on a different field.

Is it just me, or is it odd to see Brian Setzer play anything other than a Gretch?
Terry Freer the first video I’ve seen him without lol
Brian Setzer would never look as cool playing any other guitar.
@@paperviewcast agree
When he toured for the "Knife Cut's Like Justice" cd Tour, he played a TV Jones guitar and some custom built teles.
Seltzer playing….slash watching……..”where’s my distortion pedal”
Enjoyed the performance , got lost in all the towns mentioned ah well
Brian Setzer is one of the best guitarists in the business, who can play virtually any style. Slash can only play Slash, which is really not that much.
lets hear you play like slash thats what i thought.
Seems like Slash couldn't get out of there quick enough after Setzer showed up. Two different styles that would be tough to mesh that night.
Feliks Gailitis Any style? Like Neo classical metal? And how much can you play?
Leave slash m8 hes done more then you will ever do..right
And in other news you're ignorant of not only of Slash but Brian. And a pantywaist who never saw the Stray Cats live.
Oh Slash, why don’t you just sit down and watch only?
Setzer playing a Les Paul, Slash playing a standard - I thought for a minute the earth had tilted on it's axis?! Just another "Any Thing Can Happen" Jam Night with Les Paul ........ whew, I was worried for a minute there!!
Slash just standing there strumming his one chord 😂😂😂he couldn’t fathom the things Brain can do on the guitar.
Slash guitar is unplugged
It seems that Slash is the most often guest of Les Paul' freinds shows )
he's learning.
The first time I have seen Brian not playing a Gretsch
Hi Chris, I was at this actual show at the Iridium with Les Paul. Brian Setzer, Slash, Dr John and someone else who I forget. Was it all filmed?
There was a brilliant bit where Les was sitting playing next to Slash. He looked out at us at the tables then looked at Slash who was lost in playing, reached over and lifted Slash's long fringe up and smiled up at him. It was pure quality. Was it caught on video?

Rock 'n' Roll....Quality. Great night, great food!
it hurt to see my man slash lost like that 😩
WOW! This is amazing!! Les, Slash and Brain!! :-)
No! This is Les, Brian and...? Slash?
NO but Brian & Slash,Les is only sitting like chicken
Vlad doder
Were you sober when you wrote that?
Disappointing. I thought I was going to see Les Paul play by reading the title.
More bass!
Just sounds soooooooo Setzer! Nice tone, is it an LP Recording?
Did Brian Seltzer kick les Paul off the stage?
Anybody listen to Slash?????
Couldnt hear Slashs guitar.
pff! Slash everywere 👎, Brian is a Monster! 👏👏👏👏
Setzer is not confined to one genre and has chops for days. I only really heard Slash at the very end of the song so I can't comment on his ability outside of hard rock.
Pô que velho podre da um passa bem e depois limpa as mãos com a toalha. grande guitarrista esse tal Les Paul. mas que mancada....Bert .Brayan Setzer...
上手い人はギターが変わっても自分の音を出すんだね。
Uhmm...Les Paul doesn't play so why is he in the title?
Chuck Wagon Because he hosts the event.
At about 1:06 Les Paul was really telling the guy of for something (?) any body know what it was all about. (I thought Slash was out of his depth here, but he kept it cool. Brian S can really play lots of styles
Gibson Les Paul....the best guitar in the world !! And if it's in the hands of Brian, well, there's nothing else to say !! Anyway it's the first time i see Brian without a Gretsch !
Glad to see slash take a seat.
Jajajajaja pobre Slash, le hicieron ver su suerte
Brian sounds like the young Les Paul,Slash sounds like a drunk High School kid.
jimmmmybrady lol
What do you expect? Slash would suddenly overlap over Brian's solo? He's only playing Rhythm.
why didn't slash stay home !
Play another number... cya.
Can anyone help me get Brian to sign my Gretch
not if you can't spell it.
Anyone think that this is a Guitar Battle between Brian and Slash doesn't know anything about Guitar and Music at all.
This performance is for Brian. Slash is only playing Rhythm here. He's not supposed to overlap Brian's playing. Anyone who does that is an a-hole.. no matter how good guitar player you are.
slash is like, I don't know this genre.... can we do Zeppelin covers? haha jk
No hes not. He is working it out by ear on the spot.
yea and doing a terrible job at it. I love slash I was joking. that's what jk means
whatever. I used to greatly respect Setzer but now in combination with other things I've seen , I think he's a bit of an ass.
Obviously he was wowed by Slash's uncanny ability and wanted to test him by playing something he (Setzer) probably learnt when he was 15 and has been playing for like 30 years...
yeah good one.

jesus christ people get butt hurt way to easy these days. shut the fuck up lol.
Thats the spirit
What is a Slash? Different genre I guess. Never heard of him/her, don' know!
watch the video with slash and les together, slash is no joke, he impresses the master
This is Brian's performance. Slash didn't had the chance to play and just played Rhythm. I don't think he can just turn up his guitar and play over Brian's. That's an a-hole move and no expert Guitar player would do that. It's like someone is singing and another singer would suddenly overlap the other singer's voice..
slash don't belong

Were they having a contest?
Slash mas perdido no podia estar me recuerda esa vez que toco flamenco e hizo el ridiculo maximo jajajaj
So, Les Paul?
Funny how Slash just awkwardly follows everyone (no offense big fan both of him and Brian)
y fait quoi Slash là ?
Why slash ..??
keep on saying he's bad he played with bb king and les paul

Frank Kolton Right? If only Setzer tried to be original than trying to be Eddie Cochran he probably would have been bigger than he is.
@@frankkolton1780 rockabilly ; not jazz. but similar.
Slash está perdido
Can anyone tell me what my man Brian touches?
a Les Paul, natch
Slash got owned... He didn't belong in the same stage.... A one-dimensional rock guitarist can't even fumble a simple song that's completely out of his realm

слэш оьдыхает
im brian setzer i voted for trump
Ja ja ja slash is nothing next to THE MASTER BRIAN STZER
WOW! Like two little kids trying to impress the master. Les Paul
Fucking title. This is Brian. Only Brian. Slash may as well sat in the audience (or guitar classroom)where he belongs.
What do you expect? Slash would suddenly overlap over Brian's solo? He's only playing Rhythm.
slash😂 ... setzer gave him a lesson he's trying something at the end lol like hey look i can do it well.. in fact nope ..😂😂
Bass is too hot in the mix, ruins it
I like it up...maybe our ears differ. I am old.
@@telsport He's probably a guitarist...........
I cringe for slash 😆
insert comment about slash being not good enough
lmao shut up and enjoy the music haters
Hah, Brian's a great guitar player to be sure! But isn't it funny that even when he plays a Les Paul he makes it sound like a Gretsch?? 😁
Thats not an ordinary les paul anyway.
not even close
レス・ポールさん怒ってる？
sure not the sound of a gretsch 6120... sad.
what the hell is slash doing there? cleaning the guitars? 🤣
I like you slash but go home please.
Brian Setzer👍🏻
Slash 👎🏻
Somebody please turn down the bass player
Pretty pushy to take over stage
I don't know sounds pretty dumb to me.
