RIP Dusty! I'm so happy my buddy Elwood Francis got a chance to fill his shoes and he does it wonderfully!
It’s not iconic laughter,it’s a famous iconic phrase from a John LeeHooker song Boom Boom
How how how
Which is a song she should check out!
@@AKNeal81 Definitely!
You beat me to it
@ericfredenburgh4577
It's both iconic and ironic.
The "haw haw haw" thing is something they lifted from the great blues singer John Lee Hooker.
I'd love to see a JLH or Howlin' Wolf reaction..
Yep, the classic John Lee Hooker vocal style.
Filed a lawsuit against the members of ZZ Top, alleging that "La Grange" infringed on "Boogie Chillen'". A federal judge dismissed the case in 1995, declaring "Boogie Chillen'" was part of the public domain.
Also lifted the main riff from Slim Harpo - Shake Your Hips
Johnny Lee Hooker, yes! One of the greatest. If she hasn't seen Him yet, that would be awesome!
Definitely newer video, this is a true live performance, worth listening to the original album version
Original album is fantastic. For obvious reasons, more youthful energy. Though, the old dude vibe is nice as well.
This is from their documentary from 2019. They're playing at Gruene Hall in Texas, recorded for the docu.
Yeah, they are a shadow of their former selves in this performance, especially the vocal part. Cool they are still performing, but they are missing one of their iconic original members and are clearly showing their age. This would not be the performance I would introduce someone to ZZ Top with. Still really cool to hear her thoughts on them.
The best live ZZ Top performances I've seen on YT are all from 1980: Old Grey Whistle Test, Rockpalast, and Double Down Live. All are fantastic, with great sound quality.
This band has, and always has been, effortlessly cool. They know what they do, how well they do it and they don't give a FF about what everyone else is doing. For at least 40yrs I've grown up with this sound.
The chopped sound that you refer to is called a palm mute, where the heel of the hand is resting onto the string to stop it from ringing out...
A more true statement has not been made
This has been THEIR signature tune for over 3 decades. They've played it together thousands of times. They can pass it and riff it and play around with subtle details with a wink and a nod. Masters at work!
Yep, Just a great band.
Waiting for the bus/Jesus left Chicago!
And muddy water turned to wine
THIS!
Definitely! Such greatness :)
My fave ZZ song combo
Love that song(s).
the live performance of La Grange and Tush in Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004 is probably one of the best ZZ Top performances to capture the energy, the crowd, the music, the stage presence, and the incredible musicality.
Saw them in the 1980's. Glad to hear they still got it❤
Yes, this performance does not really showcase what makes ZZ Top so great. This feels a little like "3 Old guys cover ZZ Top."
@@johnlampe3258the song version choices on this channel are terrible.
I was there. Iconic!
That palm mute is how we achieve modern day breakdowns on guitar. Changed the game
Sometimes also referred to as heel-damping.
Modern day? More a 80s thing
@@RoyalDudeness Some folk still live in the 80's :)
I find it ironic that your first ZZ Top song is the one with the fewest lyrics. On the flip side, it has some of their best music. Billy Gibbons is considered by some to be the best guitarist of all time. The more you listen to them, the more he will amaze you with his skills. He was one of the inspirations of Stevie Ray Vaughn.
"Vibes" is a VERY accurate ZZ Top description. The mix of blues, rock, beards and suits is truly only captured by ZZ Top.
You forgot the fuzzy (in tone and literal) guitars.
ZZ Top yes, we need add some "Sharp Dressed Man" to this list.
ZZ TOP'S "SHARP DRESSED MAN" IS THE BEST AND "TUSH" EXCELLENT ZZTOP CHOICES!! 😊💓🤘✌️🔥
Maybe have Kirk in a tuxedo? 🤔
Cheap sunglasses..😂😎
@@metalmark1214 Have you seen pics when Queen Elizabeth II knighted Sean Connery? Very classy look with a white tie, ruffled shirt, and a kilt, of course! The ultimate Scotsman, and I think Kirk would totally rock it.
Jesus Just Left Chicago⭐
Something just feels so right when you're playing ZZ Top and driving, like a caffeine shot right into the blood.
Don't forget to wear your cheap sunglasses for the release 😅
Guaranteed to add 10-15 mph or more to your cruise speed!
LOL!
ZZ Top is one of those very few bands that sound just as good live as they do in studio. LA Grange was recorded in 1973. It's a story about a brothel, called the Chicken Ranch in LA Grange, Texas. I've been a fan of these Texas boys since I was a kid in the early 80s and they are still one of my favorites today. RIP Dusty Hill. ❤
The story of the infamous Chicken Ranch is also the inspiration for THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS musical with Dolly Parton and the late Burt Reynolds.
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Just for Elizabeth's blush factor, I would request ZZ Top's "Tube Snake Boogie"..... or "I Got The Six"
And I’ll throw in a “Pearl Necklace” if I may ;)
I always felt this band was twinned with Sid James... If you know your UK comedy, you know 😉
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 I saw a "Tiffin" cake in Co-op this morning. Had myself a little snigger and thought of Sid James.
Or Pearl Necklace
@chrismorey6592 "PEARL NECKLACE" AND "TUSH" WOULD BE A BLUSHING FOR ELIZABETH ALSO! 😊💓🔥🤘✌️
Perfect mix of blues and rock
Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix, back in the '60s, went on record to say that Billy Gibbons was the best up-an-coming guitarist of the time.
Also, RIP to bassist Dusty Hill, he was integral to ZZ Top's sound and his too infrequent vocals had real impact. Their early albums laid the groundwork for their 50 year run and "La Grange" was one of their first big hits. One of many.
I do love how ZZ TOp is so respected these days, they surely have paid their dues and went through a long period of being considered a novelty band by a lot of people.
Great song to start ZZ Top with. Song is about a brothel on the outskirts of La Grange TX The irony about the beards is the drummer who doesn't have a beard is Frank Beard. Haw-haw-haw-haw
Other ZZ Too songs to check out: Tush, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Gimmie All Your Loving, TV Dinners, Legs, Sharp Dressed Man.
The "Chicken Ranch" AKA.. the best little whorehouse in Texas
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers is another that I would add to the list!
Somebody likes Eliminator! But yes these are great songs. I also love El Diablo and Mexican Blackbird.
I'm a sucker for Brown Sugar. LOVE that song.
I'm down for some Cheap Sunglasses.
Jesus Just Left Chicago is a great one.
My choice...
ZZ Top is so much fun in concert! Every time I've seen "That Lil Ole Band from Texas" I can't stop dancing!
You should listed to the original studio recording! The is no comparison to the original that came out in every radio and bar in the USA 1973 and the best jamming song of the time! Playing foosball and listening to this song with a cold beer was it!
"Legs" needs to be next, and "Sharp Dressed Man" after that. Then, "Cheap Sunglasses" and "Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago".
Add in "Just Got Paid" for me, Jeff.
All good, Brother Man!
@@blakerbnsn Forgot about that one, but yes, a solid choice
If you do their music videos for those. Always entertaining.
@@blakerbnsn there's a live version from a set in Germany and it kicks.
You should definitely watch the documentary about them. It's fascinating how they met each other and meshed.
Saw them live in London a few months ago. They still got it!! Elwood did a splendid job. RIP Dusty Hill.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.. SEÑORS Y SEÑORITAS... IT'S FIESTA TIME! IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU, THAT LITTLE OL' BAND FROM TEXAS, ZZ TOP!
I believe you are referring to "palm muting." That is when the player lightly mutes the strings with the side of their palm while continuing to play. Billy was a master at it and at pick or "pinch" harmonics, which is when you pinch your thumb and finger down to the end of the pick so you can pick the string then touch it with your thumb immediately after to create an artifical harmonic.
it's either palm or thumb muting, but yeah he's essentially choking those notes intentionally. could be thumb because he's always doing pinches too.
Yeah palm of right hand
Just expanding on this answer a bit:
In case it wasn't clear from the above comment, it's the palm of the picking hand that does the muting. Because it's only touching lightly and is close to the end of the string, it allows the pitch of the fretted note to come through but dampens some of the higher frequencies. Another good example of Palm muting is "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The main riff that runs the the whole song is palm muted. Palm muting can also be used to for "chuggy" chord sounds, when applied to chords with lots of distortion. For example, in "Basket Case" by Green Day.
The strings can also be muted with the fretting hand, but generally doesn't give a clear pitch and is used more for percussive effects. There are ways to get fretted pitches while muting with the fretting hand, but it can be tricky to do and is much less common compared to palm muting.
Guitarist here! That "tone muting" you pointed out during the back half of the song is a technique called "palm muting", referring to when you use the palm of your hand on the bridge of the guitar to "mute" or deaden the strings for a more staccato effect. Famous for making that envied "chug" sound scattered throughout Blues, Rock, and Metal music!
If you listen closely, he's palm muting his downstrokes during the main riff and opening up the strings for the upstrokes, giving it that "blues" effect we all know and love.
You pretty much nailed it. It's called palm muting. Light enough that the sound is muted and not silenced, but also not light enough to get string harmonics. This is a song that I highly recommend for any beginner guitarist. So many techniques that you can learn from this and it's easily accessible since most of the phrasing is repeated in various transformations.
If I'm not mistaken, the idea to have a beard was done individually while they were on a music break. I believe Frank originally had one too, but didn't care for it. If you listen to their music history, there was a lot of soul searching going on when it comes to the band's sound.
That "triplet rhythm" you're detecting is their signature Texas shuffle.
The best 3 member band ...rest in peace Dusty HIll
I'd have to go with Rush myself, but it's close. Imagine Dusty jamming with Neil Peart! Rest in peace to two rhythm section legends.
@@KyleS.1987 You're half right, it is Rush, but its not close! Much as I love ZZ Top
When I think about 3 member bands a few more come up; The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Cream and Grand Funk Railroad.
@@markschattefor6997 The Police as well.....
Why is nobody mentioning Hanson? Greatest band to ever mmmmbop. 😂
The quentisential feel good,bluesy,boogie woogie,rockin band!!!
They played together for over 50years. Seeing them facing each other, watching, feeling, hearing the music as they jam. I'm always in awe of the pure skill these 3 men showed us.
This band was all about attitude and swagger. "I'm bad, I'm nationwide" is another good example! 😎
My Head's in Mississippi oh, that's a song request btw
How about shocking her with "Pearl Necklace", her realizing what the lyrics mean and blushing would be worth it!
@@cmiles97x38 I would also love to see her face when she finds out that "La Grange" is about a "Chicken Ranch", and
that Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds were in the 1982 movie about it.
My nephew when he was little would laugh like crazy when he heard the beginning vocals on the studio version of that song. He thought that voice was so funny.
It's about a pretty famous House of ilrepute in LaGrange. And the drummer is named Frank Beard. Really ironic.
There was a😅 12:20 Broadway play and a movie about it. "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". The movie staring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton.
The "Establishment" had been in continuous operation for over 100 years before it was finally shut down. Thus the words in the song, "I might be mistaken."
Indeed. But it's "ill repute". Like, REPUTation.... Poor reputation.
Good choice for the song as an introduction to ZZ Top.
Great song choice but a version where the band was younger would've been better for reaction
Could have picked one with a little more vocals though,
ZZ Top's 'Eliminator' album may be one of the greatest albums of all time.
No doubt about that!
Z...Z..Top! Woo Hoo! Not to be missed. So ready to see E's reaction to Uh Huh huh Huh... ##HomeOutOnTheRange!
Years ago I heard this song on the way to go skiing. And then it just played in my head all night. (In Oregon you night-ski)
Now that song just makes me think of skiing every time I hear it, just choppin down the mountain.
And vice-versa, when I ski this song tends to come into my brain. The perfect ski song by some guys in Texas who never saw snow.
A great intro to ZZ Top... I can jam this bass line for hours and never tire of it. Jesus Just Left Chicago would be another of the many they've done. For another band, I'm gonna suggest Humble Pie's I don't Need No Doctor - the live Midnight Special version - it's amazing.
Ohhhh Yesss! The Kings of Southern-Fried Rock (from Texas)....IMO. Yet another band I grew up listening to. I wore out both El Loco & Eliminator albums (on cassette) at least three times. This will be great! They have a lot of humorous "tongue-in-cheek-songs" similar to the Bon Scott AC/DC era, but obviously played in the ZZ Top way. Mark me as "notified!"
Famously, when in the studio recording La Grange, Billy was unable to get the vocal he wanted. He laid on a studio sofa with a mic in front of him to practice different vocal styles. The vocal on the album is Billy singing the opening on his back almost under his breath!! One cool studio story.
And of course "No Beard's" Name....Frank Beard. Classic!!
You've heard la grange plenty of times whether you wanted to or not
The excitement when I heard you were doing this song. The disappointment when I saw it wasn’t the studio version.
Elizabeth is all about the vocals and seeing the singer sing. Mechanically how they made the sounds. She will almost always go for a live performance.
Ah, ZZ Top! So many great songs from them (including this one of course). I recommend “Cheap Sunglasses”, “Sharp Dressed Man”, and “Legs”.
How about some "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers"? That was then, today I'm ready for His return!
Motörhead did a decent cover of that one.
Thanks so much! This is Home for myself as an ear trained and energetic bass player. 69 years young, absolutely!
Fun Fact: Lead singer Billy Gibbons had a recurring role on Bones as himself, who happened to be the dad of the forensic artist, Angela. They also had him playing "Sarge" in their retro dream episode "The 200th in the 10th," a spectacular homage to Hitchcock's "To Catch A Thief" to celebrate their 200-episode milestone.
Also, for a *seriously* decent instrumental cover of this song, check out Luna Lee. She manages to make her gayageums resonate just like ZZ Top's guitars and play the vocal lines as well. Amazing stuff.
I forgot Billy was Angela’s dad! Ha!
And Dusty was Hank Hill's cousin
There is no band that is MORE Texas, and they have SO much custom bling through the years, suits, guitars, cars...would be really cool too se it all
20:25 - That's a palm mute. You rest your hand against the bridge of the guitar and it deadens the strings. Metal players do this all the time, but they do it with high gain/distortion, so it doesn't sound quite as muffled.
I saw ZZ Top, my first time, in Memphis Tn in the mid 70's not knowing them at all, but my friends that did convinced me to go, and as the lights came up I was stunned to see two guys in sequined full on cowboy outfits complete big cowboy hats and was very confused, as I thought we were going to a "Rock" show not a country show. Then they launched into this hard hitting rock n roll, blowing my mind! The Little Ol Band from Texas made me a life long fan from then on! I was, and am still amazed at the wall of sound that could come from just a three piece band!
19:58 - It’s called palm muting. It’s when you use the flesh of your palm, either, right below your thumb, or the stuff that’s adjacent/across from your thumb to mute the strings as close to the bridge of the guitar as you can get. You have to mute right up next to the bridge to get the note to ring out just a little bit. If you mute up next to the sound hole the note will just be dead with not much tonal quality. Hope that helped. Have a great day!
I saw ZZ Top at the Tennessee State Fair in Nashville in the mid 1970s. I saw them again at Titan's Stadium in Nashville in 2003 at the Corvette's 50th Anniversary Celebration. Same sound, same look, nothing changed!
Yesssss finally some zz-top
Ive loved this song due to it being the theme to one of my favourite and best pinballs of the 90s, The Getaway
I always liked ZZ Top until I actually went to a ZZ Top concert.... Now I fricken LOVE ZZ Top. They are the biggest difference between recorded sound and live sound. I keep wanting to go back. You really need to do stuff from the album Eliminator. If you want attitude, see "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs."
ZZ Top is spectacular. They were my first concert in 1990 and I’ve loved em ever since.
I love ZZ Top!!! :)
saw them in concert a few weeks ago and the guitar tech even blinged out. He had a rhinestone covered shirt that sparkled in the lights so when there was a guitar change he’d come out with the new guitar and it was an event, part of the show. Most bands do the guitar changes as much in the dark as possible. Not these guys, they highlight it in the most ZZ Too way possible. Put a big smile on my face.
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
I need you tonight is a fav of mine, if this song doesn't put you in a more mellow mood, nothing will, its excellent!
zz top should be listened to prior to the eliminator album if you want to hear their genuine voices. heavily overproduced in the late 80s.
An interviewer once asked Jimmi Hendrix who his favorite guitarist was, his answer was Billy Gibbons. You really should check out the studio version of this song, its well worth the listen.
I love how you love the live versions! I also think it would be cool for you to do a side by side of live and studio versions of certain songs, get a comparison of maybe early and later recordings too. I could listen to you for hours, so a longer video is all everybody wants here!!! 😊 Thank YOU!!!
You once asked about what food correlates with music: ZZ Top is like a big plate of Enchiladas or Brisket. 😋 Reminds me of Texas always. Love always for this power trio from the Lone Star state❤⭐❤️ Rest in Peace Dusty
His vocals on this version are much more laid back than the "classic" version. On the original he sounds a lot more lively.
Legend has it that after a run of albums/tour cycles they took a break, when they came back, 2 had grown monster beards, and decided to keep em.
I still think that their best guitar bling is what they had for the Video of 'Legs'. 😉
it's so amazing you haven't heard these epic bands 🙂
80,s rock. Everbody who missing the 80,s was living the life back than . 😊
I just love ZZ Top. Saw them play the first time in 1989 when I was a teenager, saw them on their 50 years tour 2019 and a couple of times in between.
This recording session called RAW was done for a Netflix documentary in 2019. This would be their last recording together as Dusty sadly passed in 2021, and this session was realised as a record in 2022.
Getting really emotional seeing Billy and Dusty shoulder to shoulder rocking in unison as they play on as they've done for over 50 years.
That Little Ole Band from Texas is Rock history and legend. Have mercy! 🖤
legends... everyone bows to zztop.
Saw them a few times over the decades. They never lost a step! One of my favorite bands still and always will be! RIP Dusty. I know he's jamming with EVH, Jimmy Buffett and Neal Peart right now.
This song is iconic . It's a super great song and one of my favorites . It was banned for like 10 or 15 years from mmr and wsp radio stations . The guitar is like about my favorite guitar solo . Awesome song enjoy Elizabeth . I know you'll love this . Rock on . 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
That was the schtick of ZZ. All three had beards, two grew them one was born with it. Met them at the Rendezvous in Memphis many, many, years ago. All of them were super nice and down to earth guys.
ZZ Top is definitely a band I'd recommend watching their official music videos for reactions. They really put a lot of work into their videos and created a whole image with them.
I've loved ZZTop since the early 1980s. I saw the Live att the metro Center in Halufax Nova Scotiac in August 1991 when they were on their Recycler World Tour ... up to that point in time it was the oddest concert every at the Metro Center, with their last light show, classics and new material from their album at the time, they blew the roof off the place! Their is only one ZZTop, never to be repeated... even ZZTop's cover version of the Elvis classic 'Viva Los Vegas' is awesome. Pick a song and is bluesy rock goodness...
More ZZ top please! They ruled MTV in the 80's! Bringing me back!
Yes my favourite band ever
Their hit "Sharp Dressed Man" should be next! So good! I actually discovered La Grange by playing Guitar Hero 3, haha. I've 100% FCed the song on Expert.
SHARP DRESSED MAN!!
That has to be next for ZZ TOP
🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥
La Grange is top 5 driving songs for me.
I love Elizabeth's reactions to Texas blues artists.
This was fun! Welcome to ZZ TOP! My "head cannon" says that Mr. Beard has no beard for the irony of it all. I hope we get "Sharp Dressed Man" and/or "Rough Boys."
I really do enjoy your "technical insights", both vocally and instrumentally :)
ZZ Top is a favorite of mine. The irony of one guy named Beard being the one who _lacks_ one is fun, and Elizabeth caught it.
Their live shows are amazing!
Just do the whole ZZ catalog. I’m here for it!
Elizabeth - TY - love watching you. You are a closet drum lover. You smiled every time the legendary Frank beard did his Texas shuffle on drums - it was fabulous to watch. ZZ Top is an American treasure. Check their record stats. Iconic - I am 62 and they had were filling Football stadiums and had a greatest hit album out by the time I was in 8th grade. Massive band.
love you discovering these guys, Liz!
One of the true great bands for top down, night time drilling down the highway, stereo blasting , ZZ Top.
RIP Dusty.....one of the Greatest Bass Player ever....and damn his Voice !
Yes.. Billys voice was like that 40+ yrs ago, that's when I fell in love w/his wicked cool music & band✌️😎 Correct 2 have beard and 1 is named Beard 😉
Many years back, I remember a guitar-playing standup comic. He played the start of this song, mumbled the words unintelligibly, then said 'you know what I'm talking about', and shook his head to show that he didn't. :P
Great version of La Grange. The entire doc is worth watching.
It amazes me that you have missed so much. Glad you get the chance to see all of this great stuff for the first time.
I’ve seen them live probably 30 times over the years. Even though Dusty is no longer with us, ZZ is immortal
Think schtick! Awesomely done. They are Texas through and through.
I've always loved ZZ Top and especially this song now, as the building that I'm living in is called "The Grange" . 😄
Rest in Peace Dusty Hill, you wonderful beast! Best vocalist in the band in my opinion.
ZZTop always seem to have vibe of being completely chilled when playing. Just guys hanging out and jamming
