[fast35053]

is Big John O' Daniel still with the band? saw these cats several times. fuckin smokin back then and apparently nothing has changed. damn, would love to see them again. if anyone knows of an upcoming venue, let me know.

[JRGUITAR]

@fast35053

Johnny O is still in the band. They play occasionally in the DFW area and generally do a tour of Europe in the summer. If you're not aware, they released 2 new cd's in the last few years.

[fast35053]

@JRGUITAR i grew up in Irving, hung out at a place called soccer city, a pool and foosball hall. John Roberts owned it, they frequented the place. thats where i met them. great bunch of guys, not even sure if they would remember me. if i remember right, Lone Wolf Productions who managed ZZ TOP was managing them too. I got back stage a few times when Point Blank was opening for ZZ. A great time to be alive...............

[Keeyser00]

Great blues!

[mistersq01]

Rev Billy G seems to be coasting (live gigs) now. We shall see how the new ZZ Top album sounds...

[rjsak]

Need I say more? Rusty SMOKIN Burns!

[ValveWrench]

Guys like Burns and Doyle Bramhall blow me away. Both leftys, Burns plays a left handed guitar strung right handed, and Bramhall just plays the damn thing upside down....The guys are monsters. Saw burns about thirty years ago in Southpaw guitars in Bellaire Texas..but was simply too much a fan to even speak to the guy...He's just gotten better.....Thanks so much for posting this video!

[skunkdad7]

saw them last night at a benefit show ....awesome !!!

[olaws1]

brings back some great memories. saw these guys in Houston on there first tour,~1975-6. My brother played in the Fort Worth sceen in the late 60's with these cats and members of ZZ, at places like the Celler Door. His name was Bob Laws may he rest in peace,love ya bro!

[cary19642003]

An awesome player. Man I rmemebr these guys back in the day. Threw a great show!

[musicain5]

Did you guys notice that his strings are backwards....thats frickin siickkk!!!!

[NORTHSORROW]

[nedsteve1957]

Kick ass Texas Blues!!

[JWirtel]

CAn someone tell me what happened to Kim Davis? Real cool cat....Talked to fans back in the day for hours...rare Southern gentleman..

[BluesMike23]

@JWirtel just recently passed away

[JWirtel]

@BluesMike23 ...Drag...He was probably only 56 or 7?

[billywaynejohnson]

What happened to Bill Randolph?

[JRGUITAR]

@billywaynejohnson  " Wild Bill" passed a long time ago.......he was a crazy and well remembered dude

[bluzgal60]

This is wonderful!! I saw you at Grapefest 2007 and loved it!!

\Bluzgal

[Hyperterdle6]

Mr. Burns is the real deal, I agree he has passed his former boss!!

[EMMONSBE]

Rusty! you look awesome! great blast from the past- take care (Beth)syracuse

[RustyBurns1]

@EMMONSBE ---Howdy do Sweetie...I hope you and yours are good!

[LungFuMoShe187]

such skill

[ganow22]

Saw these guys about a half dozen times back in the early 80's in the Beaumont Texas area. Loved um... I'm screaming in the background of some live tracks they did in Beaumont. Now live in Georgia just north of Atlanta coming this way anytime soon?

[stratgm]

Holy Cr$p!

 I toured with these dudes back in 81 on the Journey Escape tour, doing merchandising! They've gotten much better over the years! Rock ON!!!!

[RustyBurns1]

@stratgm --send mw a message and give your name...I'm the guitar player...I remember the tour well...down to the road cases with Defender and Asteroids video games. I had a lot of fun on that tour. Nightmare had it all going then.

[brutman58]

I notice you play with your strings set up for a right handed picker also. Did you have to share a guitar with someone early on. I have all your albums and now some cds. Also are you coming to the North Carolina anytime soon?

[RustyBurns1]

Yea, I play strung like Albert King and Otis Rush. Thanx for picking up the records...we do have a brand new record titled "Fight On". Don't know about playing in North Carolina yet...we tour Europe and Scandinavia every year and will be there in June.

[brutman58]

Thanks for getting back to me. Just bought the new cd from amazon , can't wait to hear it. Good luck in Europe. I might have to road trip to Texas to see ya'll.

[TXSBLUEBONNET]

@stratgm DiD you work for Great Southern??? Winterland??? Brockum???

[stratgm]

Respond to this video...Hey Txs, I was one of Ira's boys, Great Southern! 

[TXSBLUEBONNET]

@stratgm I was a Winterland road dog but Ira used to give me alot of vends for GS when I wasn't on the road.

[MatisseCarlos]

Love to see those guys back together againThey really kick serious ass.Love the timing of the whole band/laid back like it should be!!

Thanks JRGuitar.

[SnapItBaby]

I saw these guys at Winterland in SF when they played second on the bill between Y&T and the headliner Boston. Y&T (then called Yesterday & Today) was smokin' hot and these guys with their blusey, laid back bar room style really brought the young, hip, rock n roll crowd down. Boston, of course, made them look like fools. Point Blank's overweight lead singer fell especially flat....he even resorted to gesturing for applause.

[attributionerr]

damn!

[bellsonrich]

Wow, what a monster on guitar!

[ax1sg]

I used to see these guys a long time ago...glad they're back..

davido

[mastermetx]

[lesanne2]

NICE.

[kfoster1723]

eeeeEEEhaaaaa!!

Hell yeah Texas.

[ClarkeD120000]

Seems Rusty Burns has moved to the inside and passed Billy Gibbons in the later stages of the race.

[JRGUITAR]

Absolutely! Rusty was Billy's guitar tech way back when. He would bury him now, a haaw haaaw haaaaw......JR

[mmusicman11]

@JRGUITAR ....never happen



[BubbaHiggenbotham]

@JRGUITAR  I would definitely have to agree, JR!

[simplytodance]

I love Rusty!!! and the band!

[albinowolf2]

Peace, Rusty. From White Wolf of SC, formerly of Euless, TX back in 98 and 99! I used to come out with Rick and see you guys play live in that bar each week. I cant remember the name, but was in the next town over from Euless... Irving,maybe?

[doubleslottedflaps]

i wish they would put the album the hard way on cd ! great band ! rusty burns started out as billy gibbons guitar tech way back when.

[SigarmsP239]

It's ALL on CD. Ya' just gotta look.

[dokidok]

[bikerbob77]

WoooooooooooooHoooooooooooo!!!­

[clydeman]

YEAH!! It just does not get better than this! Point Blank still kicks. Hi Rusty. The boys from PA love this.... sorry we couldn't be there.
