Fun fact, ZZ Top is the longest continually running band of all time with original members. ZZ Top formed in 1969 and toured and continued to play even this year. 52 years together!
@@reality1958 Rush's lineup changed a few times from 1968 to 1974 when they had the guys we all know & love so they were only together from 1974-2018 which is 44 years
I always loved them because they were just a straight-forward, subtly naughty rock band that didn't need costumes or pyrotechnics to be as awesome and engaging as they are. That's hard to find. RIP Dusty
I totally agree and would love if you checked out my very naughty song "I Want A Woman". It's all innuendo, but's it's almost as filthy as "Under Pressure".
The only member of this band without a beard, is named Frank Beard. The car is named Eliminator, and if you know the cartoon, King of the Hill, Dusty Hill appeared as Hank Hill's cousin
Loved cheap su glasses until I went to the concert back in the day.....all hype was bring your cheap sunglasses and they never even played the damn song 😩
They have so many rocking blues shuffles that are known for being bangers. My favorite ZZ Top song is the slower "Rough Boy" because Billy plays the most melodic guitar ever on that song. Then the solos just make it damn near a perfect song. It's Dusty's bottom end that holds the song together.
@@ifax1245 you can Google Frank Beard- I’ve been following them since the early 70’s -hes not had a beard. Nor has he the 10 plus times I’ve seen them in concert.
There are only three guys in this band: Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard. They had that growling blues rock sound that I love. One of my absolute favorite bands of all time. R.I.P Dusty "Badass" Hill
I've been a fan since their self titled album, Z Z Top's first Album came out in '69!😁💯 Killer blues album with a little bit of rock 'n roll!🤗 I love "Shaking Your Tree"!🔥❤✌
@@lasagnasux4934 Yes ironically Frank Beard the only member without a beard i also play drums and sing [maybe not at the same time] part of their charm is they really just had that same formula to every video like three mysterious leather wearing angels come to save some dude from a boring life . RIP DUSTY HILL.
God bless you for doing this song! ZZ Top were icons who left an indelible mark on music history over the past 50 years. Thank you for listening and to your wonderful tribute. I've been a fan forever, saw them live in 1986, but this song for me is my go-to whenever I need some deep Texas guitar riffs. ("Gimme All Your Lovin'" should be your next ZZT song. Just throwin' that out.)
If I could have my own program like this. Every time a musician passes I'd start the tribute with the Righteous Brothers old hit. Rock n Roll Heaven Because I feel that when they die they just join in the greatest jam session imaginable with everyone that's gone before to welcome them. And it's a non-stop show. I've been trying to get one of these shows to react to this song. But no one listens
Funny thing is my dad talks about seing them through the 70s 80s and 90s and can tell you which tour it was based on whether their beards were squared, rounded, or pointed. And the best fun fact is the only member without a beard has the last name Beard and kept a mustache. The guys are truly legends not only in talent but in live performance.
@@haukionkannel So controversial at the time. But what could be more Rock and Roll, than a blues band controversially making a rock record? It's like a made in heaven controversy, to rock "too much". Hilarious. The 80's were great.
That red hot car called The Eliminator is in almost every video of theirs and I've always loved how they appear and disappear in their videos. They're not usually the main people in their videos.
Actually, that car was a special build order at Pete’s Fabrications in Bowling Green KY. ZZ came out a few times to check out the car and make changes. Pete would only tell us (neighbors) about their visit after they left. Man, that was forever ago!
Absolute Legends..! R.I.P. Dusty, you will be missed, and the Great Band in the Sky now has the slickest, solidest, thumpin-est, best-dressed bass player there ever was... I love how Dusty and Billy always dressed the same and had matching instruments; the number of matching pairs of bass/guitar they must have is crazy, and ALL of them unique, cool, fun & interesting designs, mostly custom-made for them... And their live shows were something else; these guys ALWAYS brought the heat and blew the roof off... Damn. Another great band from The Golden Era of Rock (Oct. 5, 1962 - Apr. 5, 1994) is no more... Sad times, my friends, sad times...
I've probably seen close to 100 arena concerts, and ZZ Top had the best live sound of them all. It was as close to listening to a cd as you could get with actual live music.
The videos for Sharp Dressed Man, Gimme All Your Lovin' and Legs are essentially a trio. It's never made explicit what's going on, but I see the band as Hairy Godfathers who spot decent people being treated badly and play to summon the car and girls to put things right and give the bad guys their comeuppance.
FYI, the drummer, the beardless one of the trio, his last name is Beard. This band has been going at it forever, they started out in Country music, slid into the Rock-a-billy drivers seat(kept the Fancy old school Country suits style they still wear today), wowed the music world and built a huge multi-generational fan base, that are all heart-broken today with the passing of Dusty Hill. As the Rightous Brothers wrote in a song in tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, and Jim Morrison who all left us in quick order in 1969, "Heaven's got one hell of a band". Today with all the greats we've lost since and prior to 69, just imagine Open Mike Night Jam Sessions on Cloud 9.
You are doing such a great service with these presentations. Plus! DUDE, you are a blessed man. Your wife, the mother of your children is smart, adorable, classy and dignified. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I suggested these guys a couple of days ago, and then this happened and my heart dropped out of my body. ZZ Top is one of my absolute favorite bands, and I've been a fan since the 1970s. I'm still at the point that I listen to their music, and I have tears in my eyes because Dusty has left us all. Thank you for listening to them. And your reaction was great. When I was growing up, I dreamed of owning the Eliminator, the car that appeared in nearly all of their videos. It was sold at auction back in 2019 for close to $4,000,000.
They got me slapped. I'm around 10 singing about give a girl a pearl necklace .my cousin smacked me upside the head telling i shouldn't be saying that. I had no clue.
At least you weren't singing!! I knew a girl who lived on the hill she won't do it but her sister will she did the Boogie she did the Tube Steak Boogie.🤣🤣
@@christinebarraza2207 i would've got slapped for that too. It was bad enough she told my mother. It was probably 4 years later i understood that the necklace was. So naive. I was always the last to get the double entendres
I didn't have to worry about my mom slapping me for singing Tunes like that she's the one that introduced me to ZZ Top🤣🤣🤣. She was the one singing the Tube Steak Boogie around the house. My daddy must have kept her real happy😂😂😂
ZZ Top has a sound all their own. nobody tries to copy it because its not coverable. Nobody can do it like they can. even the car is iconic! gonna miss ya Dusty!
"(black tie!)" For their video, think "Cinderella" where the band is like three magic genies, the three groupie girls are like helper fairies, and the poor young man is Cinderfella who, with their help, finally manages to catch the eye of Princess Charming. There is a complete, thematic story in the video. I've been watching ZZ Top videos all day and I'll say it again: Another one joins that great jam session in the sky. Rest In Rock, Dusty.
A lot of range. In their early years they were even more raw, and deep in the blues "Waiting for the Bus/Jesus just left Chicago." will give you that "OHH!" face I guarantee! "LaGrange" for a rocker tune, and their most popular early song. 52 years - a HUGE catalog to draw from.
Saw ZZ Top opening for Lynard Skynard back in the early 2000's and let me tell you, they had more ladies underwear & bras thrown at them then the local Victoria Secret could hold! They were freaking awesome! We took our teenage sons and needless to say, " They got an eye full" that night! Lol Oh well, at least they were raised by some bad @ parents who taught them what great music was about! Lol
ZZ Top is one of the best bands ever. They carved out a niche with their Texas bluesy rock. Three songs that basically go together are Sharp Dressed Man,Gimme All Your Lovin, and Legs. Another really fun song is Tube Snake Boogie, try it you'll love it.
Their music from the early to mid-70's is different than what they did after taking a couple of years off and coming back in the late 70's. That reinvention is what you are listening to. Their earlier music is grittier and more blues/rock. As an aside; I met Dusty one night in a, Memphis club. He was there to watch his brother, Rusty, play. Nice as hell fella. RIP my brother.
I heard ZZ Top on the radio in the summer of 1976. My brother and I drove across Texas on my 1st vacation w/o parents. We'd drive in and out of the range of local AM radio stations and searched for new stations as the last one went out of range. On one local station we heard ZZ Top for the 1st time and fell in love! I've been a fan for 47 years and counting. RIP Dusty!
Saw these guys in concert and it's still amazes me that this three man band could rock the house like no other. They were amazing and probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to. You should try "Legs" and/or "Cheap Sunglasses". These guys never disappoint. R. I. P. Dusty Hill
Ur ok Rob but I keep tuning in for MRS. Rob Squad..........I love to watch her reactions...........................No offense but ur kinda dull.......Let the MRS. do the talkin
That little Ol' band from Texas... I like the older more Blues-Rock albums more than this 80's rock sound they got to later. Check out songs from their 70's stuff. Great Blues-Rock.
My first concert, late '73. Touring on the heels of the legendary album Tres Hombres (which included La Grange). I was 14 years old and unfortunately I missed part of the show when I passed out in the men's room. I woke up laying in my own puke with some biker dude standing over me yelling "ROOKIE!!!". Good times, man, from what I remember.
Billy opened for Hendrix (and the Doors) with his psychedelic band, Moving Sidewalks, as a 19 year old guitarist before ZZ Top as well. Pretty cool stuff.
I saw them in 2011 at Bee Cave (outside of Austin Tx.). They were still rocking. They had actually just stared a new tour. According to the surviving members, it WILL continue.
You guys need to binge-watch old episodes of 'Bones' TV series that had Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top in a recurring role. Perhaps to keep him from having to stretch his acting abilities, in it he played pretty much himself as a rich hip musician. He seemed to just be himself and likely supplied his own wardrobe in his own unique style. His character was the father of one of the show's main characters.
zz top was in that group of southern rock bands.. the marshall tucker band, lynyrd skynyrd, molly hatchett, the ozark mountain daredevils, black oak arkansas, 38 special, the allman brothers, blackfoot and zz top
These 2 are amazing! I’ve watched so many reaction videos, and these 2 are the best! So original and never fake! Thank you for just being ‘real’.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shame to hear about Dusty Hill. ZZ Top we’re one of a kind. This was from their commercial mainstream break through album, where they went from being a band loved in rock circles to global megastars!
I was a teen during the 80’s and it was awesome! Our generation had the best music. ZZ Top was my first concert and they could really put on a show. Everyone at my high school in Sand Springs had the ZZ Top keychain.
My favorite is when they SPIN THEIR GUITARS u have to see that in a few of their videos. They do it in their concerts too, I loved going to their concerts back in the 70's. I think it was Eddie MONEY opening for ZZTOP back then.
Go earlier ZZ... “Been Waiting for the Bus... Jesus Just Left Chicago” circa 1973 I believe; raw, funky, gritty, bluesy and incredible! This is kind of their pop era for commercial success. As Jamel reactions says, “ they give you that stank face!”
What a huge loss for the group. Saw them back in the 80’s. Not a huge fan, but I have much respect for the group. This is a great song. Definitely an 80’s song. LoL
Dusty was the man. Saw them live some years back, “The Biggest little Band in the World”. They we’re a blast live, moved all over the stage in step. A little Texas Boggy ** Another factoid. There guitarist (Billy Gibbons)was one of the two favorite guitarist of Jimmy Hendrix , the other is Terry Kath of Chicago**
Is it true that the million dollar offer came from Gillette, and they wanted to shoot a commercial in which Billy & Dusty would shave their iconic beards?
I saw them two years ago in Melbourne, Florida, on their 50th Anniversary Tour. They still sounded great. Rest in Peace, Dusty. Thanks for all the great music.
ZZ top passes loser guy the keys to the roadster. Car ride with ladies make loser guy stylish. The cute girl has fight on date and finds loser guy now stylish.
I was completely surprised to hear that he passed. They always gave me the impression, or feeling that they were almost one entity, a “unit”; or super highly connected-almost like conjoined twins. Oddly though, that specific feeling wasn’t a real thought before Dusty passed-I always just felt “something “. Today I realized that this “feeling “ could be put into words. Legendary men. RIP
ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands...RIP Dusty...You gotta hear I Got The Six (Gimme Your Nine)...the car is called the Eliminator & was featured on the cover of this album, also titled Eliminator...Jesus Just Left Chicago is a good one too...
If you want to get in touch with their earlier roots sound, before they went more commercial, you should listen to "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers." Or "Mexican Blackbird."
@@michaelstogsdill6989 I feel you bro', I turned 69 in March! In the late 60's/early 70's I though the drugs would kill me. Couple of bad car wrecks put me in the hospital over the years, got a titanium hip from one of 'em. Then a heart attack in 2017 almost got me, 3 stints in there now. And of course I thought Covid would get me for sure. I've had COPD for over a decade and still smoke a pack a day plus lots of legal medical marijuana. But hey, I've survived so far and am vaccinated now. Being a survivor while friends, family, rock 'n roll heroes, and other famous people I admire are gone kinda sucks but I guess the Lord isn't done with me yet. Stay strong bro'.😁❤✌
@@tomaleshire4145 Half blind stroke survivor here. Just turned 66. Since bro Dusty Hill passed I have revisited some early ZZ Top and still moved by the groove they produced. How freaking good is "Francine" from "Rio Grande Mud!" I blasted that tune. Keep well brother.

God bless Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard....RIP Dusty...😭💔🇨🇱✌❤
52 years with the same band lineup.
RIP Dusty!
That is a dedicated band, for sure! Love their music.
Can't believe they are calling this a "tragedy"?
I can't believe it. RIP Dusty
Ya don't mess with perfection!
RIP Dusty. It was Billy Gibbons who introduced ZZTop as "The same three guys, the same three chords."
“Legs” is a must listen along with “Gimme all your Lovin’”. The video’s of these songs are from the 1980’s.
The video for "Legs" got me through puberty.😆
"Rough Boy"
and more of the classic car!
I had friends who used "Gimme All Your Lovin'" as there WEDDING SONG! The preacher was not amused.
Legs!
Fun fact, ZZ Top is the longest continually running band of all time with original members. ZZ Top formed in 1969 and toured and continued to play even this year. 52 years together!
I think Rush might tie that. They started in 1968. But yeah a long time
Neil is actually not an original member of Rush. They had John Rutsy before him 😉
@@reality1958 rush had a different drummer on there first album
@@reality1958 Rush's lineup changed a few times from 1968 to 1974 when they had the guys we all know & love so they were only together from 1974-2018 which is 44 years

I always loved them because they were just a straight-forward, subtly naughty rock band that didn't need costumes or pyrotechnics to be as awesome and engaging as they are. That's hard to find. RIP Dusty
Well, they did once truck a buttload of barnyard animals across the country on tour, so there is that...😆

I totally agree and would love if you checked out my very naughty song "I Want A Woman". It's all innuendo, but's it's almost as filthy as "Under Pressure".
I have been following ZZ Top since 1971 and your synopsis is absolutely correct. A tip of the hat to you.
They will always be Tres Hombres to me...the most solid trio of musicians to make us dance...RIParadise Dusty
The only member of this band without a beard, is named Frank Beard. The car is named Eliminator, and if you know the cartoon, King of the Hill, Dusty Hill appeared as Hank Hill's cousin
If you know the show "Bones," Billy Gibbons played Angela's dad. 🙂
fun fact his real name is rube beard.
"Jesus Just Left Chicago" is my favorite ZZ Top tune. "La Grange" is another older classic.
And Jesus just left Chicago is literal these days.
Yes but they need to do the "Waitin For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" combo
This.
They already reacted to La Grange...but I agree. Add Just Got Paid for the trifecta.
My favourite songs are Gimme All Your Lovin, Sharp Dressed Man, Tush, Viva Las Vegas, and Rough Boy!! 😀 😀
RIP Dusty Hill, 1949 - 2021 🙏 🙏
RIP Dusty Hill

Another vote for "Gimmie All Your Lovin' " by ZZ Top
If I could have my own program like this. Every time a musician passes I'd start the tribute with the Righteous Brothers old hit. Rock n Roll Heaven

Love that you picked up on the humour and how cool they are. Longest established same line-up band at 52 years. Dusty will be sorely missed.

The definition of ZZ Top is "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" My favorite somg.
ZZ Top’s The Eliminator album was such a huge hit in the 1980s. MTV played their videos all the time. It was a really fun time in music history.
It is still one of the best albums ever! Even metal heads like some song, among dance monsters!
;)
If I remember well, only ZZTop matched Van Halen in popularity at that time
That's the definitive ZZ Top album in a lot of people's opinion. My fav for sure, but my favorite SONG will always be Tush.
@@haukionkannel My friends and I were all metalheads...and every last one of us loved ZZ Top.
@@haukionkannel So controversial at the time. But what could be more Rock and Roll, than a blues band controversially making a rock record? It's like a made in heaven controversy, to rock "too much". Hilarious. The 80's were great.

I've probably seen close to 100 arena concerts, and ZZ Top had the best live sound of them all. It was as close to listening to a cd as you could get with actual live music.
They were very good live I agree. Hands down the LOUDEST concert I’ve ever seen though and I’ve seen Ozzy, GNR etc.
"She got legs" is another of theirs that played all the time.
Another vote for listening to "She's got legs" by ZZ Top
You could even compare and contrast "She's Got Legs" by ZZ Top with "Hot Legs" by Rod Stewart
It's just called "Legs" Rob, if you go to look this one up.
Oh yes, definitely have to react to "She got legs"
Pretty much the entire Eliminator Album was incredible.
R.I.P. Dusty. 😔 Condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
"Legs" is kind of the companion song to this and also is a fun video.
The videos for Sharp Dressed Man, Gimme All Your Lovin' and Legs are essentially a trio. It's never made explicit what's going on, but I see the band as Hairy Godfathers who spot decent people being treated badly and play to summon the car and girls to put things right and give the bad guys their comeuppance.
So is "Gimme All Your Lovin"
For a "three peice" band they put on a hell of a live show, so blessed to see them in concert.
FYI, the drummer, the beardless one of the trio, his last name is Beard. This band has been going at it forever, they started out in Country music, slid into the Rock-a-billy drivers seat(kept the Fancy old school Country suits style they still wear today), wowed the music world and built a huge multi-generational fan base, that are all heart-broken today with the passing of Dusty Hill.

Listen to Dusty Hill singing "Tush", he had a great voice.
And also "beer Drinkers and hell Raisers".. where Dusty also sings....
"Hi Fi Mama" is like a Texas sandstorm!

The drummer, who has no beard, his name is Frank Beard. Go figure.
Saw these guys in concert and it's still amazes me that this three man band could rock the house like no other. They were amazing and probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to. You should try "Legs" and/or "Cheap Sunglasses". These guys never disappoint.
R. I. P. Dusty Hill
Saw them on Eliminator tour. One of the tightest sets of any band I've seen. Excellent show
Saw them on that tour too...hands down the best concert I've ever seen. They absolutely rocked the place.@@tristanblackmore9772
Ur ok Rob but I keep tuning in for MRS. Rob Squad..........I love to watch her reactions...........................No offense but ur kinda dull.......Let the MRS. do the talkin
That little Ol' band from Texas... I like the older more Blues-Rock albums more than this 80's rock sound they got to later. Check out songs from their 70's stuff. Great Blues-Rock.
The crazy thing is they really weren't old when this song came out. In their early 30s. Crazy how a long ass beard can make a man look 60 years old.
My first concert, late '73. Touring on the heels of the legendary album Tres Hombres (which included La Grange). I was 14 years old and unfortunately I missed part of the show when I passed out in the men's room. I woke up laying in my own puke with some biker dude standing over me yelling "ROOKIE!!!". Good times, man, from what I remember.
Another thing about ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix actually once named Billy Gibbons as his favorite guitarist.
Billy opened for Hendrix (and the Doors) with his psychedelic band, Moving Sidewalks, as a 19 year old guitarist before ZZ Top as well. Pretty cool stuff.
Yes. Once asked what it felt like to be the worlds greatest guitarist, Jimi replied "I don't know, you should ask Billy Gibbons."
It’s a shame that most of the world has no idea how good Billy Gibbons is
Really?!
@@Catlady77777, yeah. Jimi actually said that, several times.
I saw ZZTop in concert. Fun show, straight forward blues and rock.
A cool factoid. In the movie Back to the Future part 3, ZZ Top was the honky-tonk band playing at the town festival in 1885.
I saw them in 2011 at Bee Cave (outside of Austin Tx.). They were still rocking. They had actually just stared a new tour. According to the surviving members, it WILL continue.
This was Jimi hendrix's favorite guitar player, Billy Gibbons. Rest in peace Dusty.
If you like some blues, try ZZ Top's "Fool for Your Stockings". Probably my favorite.
You guys need to binge-watch old episodes of 'Bones' TV series that had Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top in a recurring role. Perhaps to keep him from having to stretch his acting abilities, in it he played pretty much himself as a rich hip musician. He seemed to just be himself and likely supplied his own wardrobe in his own unique style. His character was the father of one of the show's main characters.
zz top was in that group of southern rock bands.. the marshall tucker band, lynyrd skynyrd, molly hatchett, the ozark mountain daredevils, black oak arkansas, 38 special, the allman brothers, blackfoot and zz top
Best concert I have EVER attended was ZZ Top, and Charlie Daniels Band.
"Waitin' For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" they are a must and they are to be listened to TOGETHER. RIP Dusty
YES!
So great.
ZZ Top appeared in Back to the Future 3 as the band in the Western town during the party
On your way to 500K thumbs up !
Really looks like you enjoy this!
These 2 are amazing! I’ve watched so many reaction videos, and these 2 are the best! So original and never fake! Thank you for just being ‘real’.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shame to hear about Dusty Hill. ZZ Top we’re one of a kind. This was from their commercial mainstream break through album, where they went from being a band loved in rock circles to global megastars!
I was a teen during the 80’s and it was awesome! Our generation had the best music. ZZ Top was my first concert and they could really put on a show. Everyone at my high school in Sand Springs had the ZZ Top keychain.
Me too!😏😊🤗
Rest in Power, Dusty.
'Legs' is the song that got me into ZZT. You should give that a react.
My favorite is when they SPIN THEIR GUITARS u have to see that in a few of their videos. They do it in their concerts too, I loved going to their concerts back in the 70's. I think it was Eddie MONEY opening for ZZTOP back then.
Go earlier ZZ... “Been Waiting for the Bus... Jesus Just Left Chicago” circa 1973 I believe; raw, funky, gritty, bluesy and incredible! This is kind of their pop era for commercial success. As Jamel reactions says, “ they give you that stank face!”
Their song "Tush" features Dusty Hill on lead vocals. It's a great tune.
just straight-up, no-nonsense rock----guitar, drums, and some killer hooks. Classic.
What a huge loss for the group. Saw them back in the 80’s. Not a huge fan, but I have much respect for the group.
This is a great song. Definitely an 80’s song. LoL
hey Jay can you please give Leon Russell A Song For You Live it's just Leon and his Piano you Love them KEYS so you will Love this song thanks
How can old men with beards look So FUCKING COOL ?
As good of players as they all three are, they never take themselves too seriously.
Just Got Paid! Tube Snake Boogie, Beer drinkers Hell raisers !
I like those songs to but I also like Cheap Sunglasses😜😎😎
Dusty was the man. Saw them live some years back, “The Biggest little Band in the World”. They we’re a blast live, moved all over the stage in step. A little Texas Boggy ** Another factoid. There guitarist (Billy Gibbons)was one of the two favorite guitarist of Jimmy Hendrix , the other is Terry Kath of Chicago**
Another factoid: Jimmy Hendrix spelled his first name "Jimi".
Dusty and Billy were offered a million dollars to shave their beards off and they said "No, the beards are who we are."
Kevin Franks like they needed a million dollars
It was back in the 80s. Probably more like $2 mil today.
Is it true that the million dollar offer came from Gillette, and they wanted to shoot a commercial in which Billy & Dusty would shave their iconic beards?
@@brianv1372 Yes, I believe it was Gillette.
Nickelback made an absolutely excellent and stunning cover of this. Might want to check it out also :)
I saw them two years ago in Melbourne, Florida, on their 50th Anniversary Tour. They still sounded great. Rest in Peace, Dusty. Thanks for all the great music.
Lead guitarist Billy Gibbons, also appeared in several episodes of “Bones”
"Velcro Fly" is another fun one of theirs.
Never got to meet Dusty, even though he lived in my neighborhood. So sad.
I remember watching this with my grandma, who thought it funny they were singing about being sharp dressers with those scraggly beards.
ZZ top passes loser guy the keys to the roadster. Car ride with ladies make loser guy stylish. The cute girl has fight on date and finds loser guy now stylish.
It’s not the first time you’ve listened to them, last time you heard “la grange”
A-how-how-how-how
I was completely surprised to hear that he passed. They always gave me the impression, or feeling that they were almost one entity, a “unit”; or super highly connected-almost like conjoined twins. Oddly though, that specific feeling wasn’t a real thought before Dusty passed-I always just felt “something “. Today I realized that this “feeling “ could be put into words. Legendary men. RIP
It’s sad that we usually end up giving someone their flowers after they are gone. I wish we could do it more while they were alive. RIP Dusty. 🙏🎸
This hit hard. Thank you.
ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands...RIP Dusty...You gotta hear I Got The Six (Gimme Your Nine)...the car is called the Eliminator & was featured on the cover of this album, also titled Eliminator...Jesus Just Left Chicago is a good one too...
Another fun fact, the only member of the band without a beard is the drummer who's last name is Beard.
If you want to get in touch with their earlier roots sound, before they went more commercial, you should listen to "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers." Or "Mexican Blackbird."
"Mexican Blackbird" will get you canceled in today's society!💯😤🤬🤣 RIP Dusty.....😭💔
@@tomaleshire4145 At my advanced years I will be "permanently cancelled" soon enough.
@@michaelstogsdill6989 I feel you bro', I turned 69 in March! In the late 60's/early 70's I though the drugs would kill me. Couple of bad car wrecks put me in the hospital over the years, got a titanium hip from one of 'em. Then a heart attack in 2017 almost got me, 3 stints in there now. And of course I thought Covid would get me for sure. I've had COPD for over a decade and still smoke a pack a day plus lots of legal medical marijuana. But hey, I've survived so far and am vaccinated now. Being a survivor while friends, family, rock 'n roll heroes, and other famous people I admire are gone kinda sucks but I guess the Lord isn't done with me yet. Stay strong bro'.😁❤✌
@@tomaleshire4145 Half blind stroke survivor here. Just turned 66. Since bro Dusty Hill passed I have revisited some early ZZ Top and still moved by the groove they produced. How freaking good is "Francine" from "Rio Grande Mud!" I blasted that tune. Keep well brother.
@@michaelstogsdill6989 I'm retired, usually sleep all day and jam at night. Was listening to UA-cam Wednesday and saw a RIP Dusty. I thought it was click bait but went to Google just to check. Broke my fucking heart!😥 Spent the rest of the night and most of the next day listening to Z Z Top's First Album,🔥 Tres Hombres,🔥 Rio Grande Mud🔥 and Fandango.🔥 Smoked a couple of joints and drank 4 Dos Equis Amber (a Mexican brew)!🤭 Last time I cried this hard was when Stevie Ray Vaughn 🇨🇱🐐 died. God bless Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard....RIP Dusty...😭💔🇨🇱✌❤
Nation Wide is one of their most underrated songs
RIP Dusty. These guys were at their biggest while I was in High School. They are part of who I am.
What a great tribute to Dusty Hill. Excellent!
That's why we love ya I'm from Texas stevie Ray pantera and DUSTY Hill
Y'all should hear their dirtier blues-ier stuff like "pocketful of change", or "Jesus left Chicago"
The guitar in Just Got Back from Baby's is unforgettable. So much feeling in such a simple guitar line. My favorite ZZ Top song. A lost treasure.
A fool for your stockings, is an older song of theirs and probably in my top 3. You won’t be disappointed. 😞 sad he’s gone
ZZ has been together since 1969. Just love's thanks for playing this. They had a great time and had fun. RIP dusty
ZZ Top is the band that played in the movie "Back to the Future part III", back in 1855. Check out "Tube Snake Boogie"!
Where Marty blinks and does a _triple_ take!
Another good blues band for you: The Black Keys.
"Lonely Boy"
"Gold on the Ceiling"
"Howling For You"
