Met Dusty Hill at a gas station in Kemah Tx. The dude asked me (so what's going on, what ya doin) I said going to work and he said shit so am I. That's how the conversation started off and we talked for 10 minutes. I left before him and then he passed me in his 2 door black sports car and he honked as he passed and waved. The conversation was like a old friend. So down to earth. The world lost a kind soul.
There are many people that seem to fit ZZ Top better for their introduction.... But The Rolling Stones are the ones that really pushed them into the public eye by asking them to start a tour with them in Hawaii..... The introduction was a show of respect and thanks.
I sang him happy birthday after an X-Pensive Winos show in London in 1992. He hugged me and my friend and said, “Aww, you remembered!” He smelt of cigarettes, whiskey and musk. An absolute gentleman.
You don't know what you're talking about every word keith prononce is gold if you wanna here zz top biography then listen to borring journalists idiots !
Keith is wild. He is not an idiot, he is responsible for the sound of the Rolling Stones. He is able to talk, some interviews he made are interesting. But he is not the kind of guy to prepare a long talk, he wouldn't bother to do that, that's Keith
I once sat next to Keef in first class on a British Airways flight from JFK to Heathrow back in 2007....Don't think for a second that the man slurs his words and all that. This video is about as close to the man I sat next to as it gets. He's extremely smart, easily understandable and just an all around cool guy. I even got to play some Texas hold'em poker with him. No money involved, unfortunately. hahaha
Keith and Billy have the most immediately recognizable guitar riffs in rock history...blues rock icons. Remember, ZZ Top and Billy CLOSE guitar festivals, often with BB King on stage with them to close the show. Enough said...
I actually had my graduation today, two years after I wrote my original post. You know who the guest speaker at our graduation was? A FEMINIST. Very disappointed, Keef.
RIP Dusty Hill. 💖 I love Keef but I'm disappointed. ZZ Top deserved better. They inducted Cream and their words were brilliant. Keef cheated them of the respect they deserved.
How sad that Kieth was chosen to induct ZZ🎸Top into the RRHF. His ego & whatever was altering his mind got the best of him. ZZ🎼Top deserved so much better. They are such a humble, classy and talented band. Your FANS💖recognize you for the greatness you poses❣️A Hui Hou ZZ, Suszi🌺
Why is everybody bitchin about Keith. This is Keith. We all know why ZZ deserves to be there. He gave them props. He mentioned Texas, the blues, and their fashion. That's about all you're gonna get from Keith. He's priceless.
he must have been chosen for some reason... yes,Keith's like that. Take him or leave him. He said all there was to be said about the group. Stoned maybe, but cool and unique.
can you hear the guy/guys shouting 'I love you Keith!' at the beginning. :) I hope the Rolling Stones tour in 2012. Can't wait to see Keith perform. He is an amazing character.
It was better the second time I watched it... 10 years after THEE night. Maybe because since then I've read Keith's book "Life" and have a MUCH better impression of Keith. Love him!
Keith is Keith!!!! If anyone ever did the amount of drugs he did, you wouldn't be inducting ZZ Top in the Hall of Fame!!!! Love Keith and always ZZ Top!!!
when will the hall pull their collective heads out of the ground and give Johnny Winter his well overdue entrance into the Hall. I love ZZ Top but dont forget Texas gave us Johnny Winter
Wow Keith sounds so much different in 2004 than he does in 2015 or today. Listen to this and then interviews from today with him. Now he’s got this deep mumbling voice, sounds like Ginger Baker.
Keith is a very shy nervous person hidden under his weathered outlawish dried up exterior. He's a very sensitive musician, and definitely out of his comfort zone.
@@jimiguitar6324 if being one of the worlds greatest pioneers in Rock & Roll music and a seminal formative figure for guitarists’ is ... “A douche & pathetic!!” I only hope you are judged with such esteem at that age ? Sure, he maybe suffering long term effects of what would be considered the derogatory side of the music industry but the man is still playing & performing to the present day, he’s sobered up now and looks & sounds pretty damn good! Your entitled to your own opinion, respectfully, but Keith is a millionaire & will be remembered as a musical icon. Just a thought....... 💭
If you've even wondered by Mick does all the speaking for the Stones, this clip is confirmation why. Keith is a great Keith, but not a man for the microphone.
That's so true! Keith is absolutely the worst speaker I've ever seen... so glad someone pointed this out. Keith you play a mean guitar... but shut the fuck up
Since billy gibbons has quoted many times. him and the rest of the band have never took them selves too seriously. Im sure they laughed and loved that intro 😂
Sometime inductions are like a comet going by, you simply enjoy the view and brillance of what is before you, but this was simply a trainwreck. ZZ Top deserved someone who wasnt off on a binge of something. No matter who you are.
Kieth Richards! Really?? Is that all you have to say about ZZ Top?? Okay, they haven’t had the longevity that you have in Rock N Roll but there should be more a little more respect than that at such a great accomplishment for this band!
Embarrassing from Keef. Seemed to make it up as he went along! Billy, Dusty and Frank deserved better, but the class acts they are, they won't complain.
@@alexdelarge703 You don't get out much do you? As you are so fond of insulting away on a keyboard, take the time to watch how an induction is done with some respect and admiration. Watch ZZ Top induct Cream. Jack, Eric and Ginger didn't share your nobody opinion. They're pure class. You're a talentless, jealous, nobody tosser!
For the record, it was the ROLLING STONES who gave ZZTOP their first big time gig, opening up for them on the Australian tour, 1973. What an honour. And then for Keith to be asked to induct them 30+ years later? My word. That's full circle. PS: Keith's speech for ChucK Berry, back in 1987 was messy too. Check that one out.
@@Bluzian74 You really think the Zz Top boys said _Yep! We want nobody but Keith to introduce and induct us??_ Same as you really think Stevie Nicks specifically asked for One Direction kid to introduce and induct her above all others that were her actual peers?? It's for ratings and views and who the committee asks NOT the person being 'bestowed the induction honour!'
Hey, I was there too! My third concert ever, and I remember how shocked we were at the ticket price - $19.95! Looking back that was a pretty great bargain. We got to see the Fabulous Thunderbirds, ZZ Top, and the Stones. I didn’t really know who the Fabulous Thunderbirds were at the time so I don’t really recall.
I'm a HUGE Keith/Stones fan, and I was embarrassed watching this. He did a disservice to ZZ Top by being completely unprepared and coked up out of his mind. I know, I know...it's KEITH RICHARDS, what do you expect? Well a LITTLE professionalism. He showed the band he was supposed to be inducting disrespect.
Coming from a guy with Lemmy as his profile pic get a life if you want professionalism watch a dentists convention this is Rock n Roll , entertainment . Lemmy would have loved it .
Keith is known to be a very shy person. He once said he took all the drugs in the seventies to hide away from fame. In one to one intervieuws he's alert and always makes sense. With a few people more, however he hardly gets a chance. And in front of a public of hundreds (without a guitar around his neck) he easily gets lost, surely without notes.

Keith is going to host the 2080 Oscars.
😂😂😂👍
It’s refreshing not to see the same copy and pasted immortal Keith jokes.
This is exactly how I sounded like... in elementary school... when I was talking in front of the class about a book I hadn't read.
Me too, for one I had read!
I love how he said the line “You cant talk about rock and roll without talking about the blues.”
Then proceeds to not talk about it at all.
@@fuscinula Agree.
He made the ESSENTIAL point that Blues was at the heart of it all.!!
He wasn't there to give a lecture 😂🤣
@@fuscinula 😂
May you rest in peace, Dusty Hill.
I'm glad he remembered to mention ZZ Top by the end!
good one
Yeah, selfish dick. ZZ deserved better.
I want Keith speaking at my funeral I`m only 30 but he`ll outlive me.
You still alive?
We all need to think about what kind of world we're leaving for Keith Richards
What about Ozzy lol
😂
@@Mac-jx8uj Keith’s on another level, but Ozzy’s not far from it! 😂
There are many people that seem to fit ZZ Top better for their introduction.... But The Rolling Stones are the ones that really pushed them into the public eye by asking them to start a tour with them in Hawaii..... The introduction was a show of respect and thanks.
Don't forget Hendrix too.
A miracle that Keith and Ozzy are still alive
I don't understand everything Keith Richards says,but i have to admit he is never boring.
I sang him happy birthday after an X-Pensive Winos show in London in 1992. He hugged me and my friend and said, “Aww, you remembered!” He smelt of cigarettes, whiskey and musk. An absolute gentleman.
This might sound gross and creepy but I love him and I always try to imagine how he smells...thanks for the description and showing the man some love❤
Flyin' higher than any jet airliner......MR. KEITH RICHARDS!!!
I think he waited so long to mention ZZTop b/c he actually forgot who he was inducting.
Rick James old him cocaine is one hell of a drug
You can really see where Johnny Depp got the Jack Sparrow from here
keith probably had no idea where he was
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
He was so high
Brenden Hanrahan. It's all a shtick. 😎 WWE. Behind the scene he probably drinks champagne and pate and study's physics or philosophy.
I read this comment right before he said ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Fame right?’ 🤣
@@jcavazos4145 all those bottles of whiskey are cold tea.
Bullshit. He knew exactly where he was.
I'm a life long die hard forever and ever Stones and Keith fan... but this was sad. ZZ TOP deserved a better induction.
Then dont get Keef mother fucking Richads to do it. That was as r and r as it gets.
MrWhiskeytangofoxtro. You were expecting a heart filled intro from Richard's ?
Kind of a diservice.
I totally agree...huge Keith fan. This was just bad.
You don't know what you're talking about every word keith prononce is gold if you wanna here zz top biography then listen to borring journalists idiots !
keith was having a laugh and zz top are great
Keef's speeches are always like a stand up comedy show
keith always looks like hes looking for his keys ahaha bloody legend though
hes just looking for his dope hahaha
That made me laugh so much 😂
Deep down he's a shy boy hehe
That "no notes 10 bucks" line is classic lol
He lost them in his nose
a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey , " Keith Richards survival kit "
A Oz of weed, a 8 ball of coke and a few balloons of China White and you have the list.
One of the most lovable, witty guys there is. It will be a sad day when keith passes on.

It’s all about Keith……pathetic introduction!
@@stevemacgillivray6439 you mad brah?
@@knockitofff I think he is lol. Keef isn’t the pathetic one, the rock hall is
Whoever chose this clown to induct ZZ Top should be runoff! Cardi B would've done a better job.
what a character!!!! But he wrote some of the great guitar riffs of all time!!!
"Steeped in several other things as well.." Classic Keef.
Keith and Billy have the most immediately recognizable guitar riffs in rock history...blues rock icons. Remember, ZZ Top and Billy CLOSE guitar festivals, often with BB King on stage with them to close the show. Enough said...
How do I get this guy to speak at my graduation?
$1,000,000 and he gets to piss into the punch bowl.
That's Kickstarter worthy.
Would be a hoot....
I actually had my graduation today, two years after I wrote my original post. You know who the guest speaker at our graduation was? A FEMINIST. Very disappointed, Keef.
keef. Is that a hat tip to Bill Hicks?
Keith was high ! ! ! As always
Couldn't stay sober even for this.
Sam why would he
this is hilarious, but also not
guys from zz top probably got him high
Yes he mentioned ZZ top, in his way. Where you expecting a formal presentation from Keith Richards?
RIP Dusty Hill. 💖
I love Keef but I'm disappointed. ZZ Top deserved better. They inducted Cream and their words were brilliant. Keef cheated them of the respect they deserved.
Yep I couldn't finish watching this.
Yeah cringe. Zz Top is better than the Stones any day.

Agree, it is Keith, he was always an introvert, to me he looked more scared than stones
He actually died 20 yrs ago and no one has told him yet. Lol
Lmao good one
Haha 😆
Solid intro for ZZ Top. Thanks Keith.
Thomas Grant He’s the best. ZZTop is a Texas treasure! Love them both! Blessings from Texas! 🙏
@@coffeenow2382 It's called sarcasm.

“It’s great to be here. It’s great to be anywhere.” Long live Keef 💀🎸🙏
To introduce rock legends in to the rock Hall of fame by a rock legend is the way it should be. That was awesome
It’s 2021 and Kieth is still doing it good……R I P Dusty Hill
a whole 3:34 of my time and life that i will never get back--thanks SO much Keith,,,
The last time Keef wasn't high on somethin' was probably in his early teens.
Wow, he really is a real-life captain Jack Sparrow 😮
That was funnier than most stand-ups. Alot going on in there. Man's a legend. Absolute class.
It was better the second time I watched it... 10 years after THEE night. Maybe because since then I've read Keith's book "Life" and have a MUCH better impression of Keith. Love him!
So, the last 31 seconds of 3:34 was about the band Keith's inducting .... BUT I guess he's just so lovable being so self-preoccupied and messed up
Keith Richards seems so out there
For heavens sake,Keef was acting,playing his part.That is why they asked him,it is what people expect of him.
Vinnie Vincent but no one is laughing...ZZ TOP deserved better!
Keith Richards, you have the coolest Life ever.
not sure about that. go become a drug addict and see how cool it is.
the coolest 70 year old stoner EVER! rock on Keith!
I love Keith Richards.
Chasing that damn ole dragon again ain't ya Keith.
Shows how much you know about drugs.
Ain't nobody cooler than Keith!
Keith is lame and terribly overrated as a player. A 5 yr old can play his parts.
Keith is Keith!!!! If anyone ever did the amount of drugs he did, you wouldn't be inducting ZZ Top in the Hall of Fame!!!! Love Keith and always ZZ Top!!!
fuckin keith mate, love you man- the r n r hall of fame, love zz top, legends any day of the week.
when will the hall pull their collective heads out of the ground and give Johnny Winter his well overdue entrance into the Hall. I love ZZ Top but dont forget Texas gave us Johnny Winter
Gibbons is a hack compared to JDW III
A well-deserved posthumous induction would only be right. And why did it take Rush so long to get in?
Johnny never would have called any other guitar player a hack. Johnny was a super nice guy.
I AGREE BUT JW was just an awesome guitar player. warner bros dropped him because he wanted to do blues

Not sure if serious... >.< would explain a lot..

it is zztops induction not anything else
@Magnesium Everyone knows that
He acctually is
@Magnesium The whole person. Keith can't stand still either. Love the Stones and ZZ Top 🎶🎶🎶
what a character. i love Keith. A real one off. He's obviously had a quick smoke of the funny baccy.

Second that!

Best line of any speech ever. I'll use it next time I have to give a speech
Don't have any children

Or Ozzy.
How high was he during this? Wow.
Well Keith sure cheapened a great day for ZZ Top.
You think they think that?

Unreal intro.
Lovely artist, smart as a whip. Best intro ever.

Nice intro for ZZ into Hall of Fame....Keiths song, Happy
Did he not know why he was even there???
Trivia: ZZTop opened for the Stones in the early 70s...in Hawaii...at the STONES request..
no notes $10 bucks, that’s gold lmaoo
Time for Status Quo to be inducted.
60 years and counting. 118 million records.
Half way through his book. It's great!
