By the way, Bartlett came out of retirement to play Black Betty for the first time in two decades in the summer of '09 in Cincy OH. He also did Shake, Rattle and Roll, an amped up Big River and AC/DC's Back in Black. A blistering set! The vid of Betty is on YouTube. Cheers again, boys and girls!

[CharUSAIdaho]

[CarolinaOcelot]

I had no idea David Koresh was such a good singer.

[LadyTigra73]

WHOOHOO BLACK BETTY BAM-A -LAM!!!...U gotta love this song!

[Saadstudents]

Is that Dr.Phil from the mid 70s on the guitar?

[19hoops81]

"I can dance to that song if I wanted to."....lol...great song for a great time in the late 70's

[00x98pd]

[tsikolatino420]

[aroclor1]

That's Bill Bartlett on guitar. He played in the Lemon Pipers before this.

[penn4644]

For you guitarists and those who want the real info, check out "25 Great Classic Rock Guitar Solos" by Dave Rubin. It made me see this video in a new perspective. Cheers!

[bliderobladero]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[bliderobladero]

this is a classic rock song by a very classic rock band . pure class

[bj616]

I agree

[Herow93]

Why are we all worried about what guitars they are using or who came up with the song, just enjoy the song, this is classic rock at it's best :P

[penn4644]

The facts: Other than Bill Bartlett, the guys you see in this video had nothing to do with the recording of Black Betty. Bill's band Starstruck from Oxford, Ohio ( Bill, Tom Kurtz, David Goldflies, & Dave Fleeman) recorded the original track in Cleveland in 1975. after the band broke up, Bill went to NY where the producers edited the song, put a band around Bill and called it Ram Jam. By the way, Bill's inspiration for Black Betty was Bettie Page!

[xXStupidHurtsXx]

This man actually didnt make the lyrics to the song. The lyrics dates back to the 1800's, this song just gave them more...um..spice.

[penn4644]

In fact, Bartlett did write verses 2&3. The core of the song is as you say, from way back in there.

[xXStupidHurtsXx]

Oh i didnt know that! Thanks for telling me.

[whitesky0009]

@penn4644 Where's your source?

[penn4644]

@whitesky0009 The source is stated in the comment. Besides, as a fan and friend, I was there. Bill B. went on to master piano boogie woogie and is now semi-retired.

[hotstuffandicecream]

Amazing they were a one hit wonder seeing as how this one fits perfectly into that era of music. Has shades of Kansas, Black Oak Arkansas, Golden Ear Ring and others...........thanks for the memory.

[nickhlosat]

What is with the bassist?

[penn4644]

Bill's guitar was originally a 1954 Gibson Les Paul gold top w/cream P 90 pickups. After years of extreme wear, he rebuilt it with a hand carved birds-eye maple top, 1974 Gibson Humbuckers, abalone inlays, and a headstock patterned similar to that on Joe Maphis' famous Mosrite doubleneck. He still has this guitar, but currently uses a tele style ax he made using Warmoth neck (birdseye) and body (curly maple top) with Joe Barden Danny Gatton designed pickups. See new video I mentioned before.

[bassnman420]

lead singer looks like my uncle haha

[toklane]

I see more often people on Les Paul's playing heavy metal and hard rock ^^

Zack Wylde is an exemple among thousands

[davidhayhurst65]

i lov this song its so bad asssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­s

[bgf420]

this lead guitar looks like he has been up for days tripping hahaha, ripping that guitar up I love it :)

[Aaroo97]

BEst

[000elizabet]

4 ever the best!!

[GTVAlfaMan]

Who is playing that wicked lead guitar? What model guitar is he playing? Anyone know?

[bassnman420]

I believe it is a les paul somebody please correct me if I am wrong

[Zingaia]

Yeah, it does look like a Gibson Les Paul. I think you're right.

[Zingaia]

Definitely a Gibson - at 3:40 you can see it stamped on the pickup covers.

[pumkinpoopoo]

Just cause he is using Gib pick ups doesn't make it a Gib. I don't think any Gib has had a different head stock...from the beginning..

[believer06]

It's a Les Paul body style, but the headstock looks different from a standard, custom or deluxe. It's either 4th model Im unaware of or it's a good copy of a gibson. Ibanez made some fantastic gGibson copies back in the 70s. So it's quite possible this is one of them.

[believer06]

take that back. I just noticed th Gibson stamped on the neck pickup at 0:23. I then noticed penn4644's explanation for the headstock.

[ileikairsoft]

this song is bad :(

[SAkingjuggy]

this song is the shit!!! lol

[rudolph419]
