Never a man to back down from a musical challenge, the great Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top was handed a guitar made almost entirely out of cardboard. It’s a replica of a Fender Stratocaster and you may know that if you hand a guitar player a guitar, they’re gonna play it, and play it Billy Gibbons did! So Matt Sorum who you may remember as the drummer for Guns N’ Roses in the nineties and for the Cult through some drums down and just like that you have Billy Gibbons The Cardboard Sessions. The company that makes these is called Signal and said this about the sessions.
It is an absolute honor to have Billy F Gibbons and Matt Sorum here for the latest Cardboard Sessions! Gibbons, the legendary blues-rock guitarist and frontman of ZZ Top, is a man of distinctive style, both in his music and his persona. With his signature fiery guitar riffs, gritty blues-infused sound, and distinctive style, he has influenced countless musicians and captivated audiences worldwide. So, when he walks in with a song he wrote specifically for Cardboard Sessions about this Cardboard Guitar, it’s was wild! Pair all of this insanity with Matt Sorum, an exceptional drummer whose powerful and dynamic style was the bedrock for Guns N’ Roses, among many other bands we’ve all blasted through our speakers over the years. Enjoy this song written off the cuff, in true blues form with two absolute legends.
