  • Not only was this the first time hearing La Grange, it was the first time hearing ZZ Top altogether. I didn't even know this band existed until they were recommended to me by one of my moderators. Many of you know by now that I do not care what era a certain song comes from, I love music so much that I will give anything a try.
    Here is my reaction to hearing ZZ Top - La Grange for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

    I can’t believe I am actually having to say this but it seems like a small minority of people don’t understand me when I speak 🤣 If you hear me say at the end of the video “I’m sorry if this video was a bit rubbish”. I am talking about MY reaction and MY video… NOT THE SONG 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣
    I am not apologising for having an opinion anymore. Especially when all I ever do on this channel is keep my opinions respectful 🤣
    My regular viewers know full well that I would never disrespect a song or musician. To everyone that’s been watching the journey and supporting the channel, I appreciate you all so much and your love and engagement does not go unnoticed! You are the reason I continue to make UA-cam videos everyday.
    From what I heard on this song, I can tell they’re incredible musicians and actually after hearing the song again, my opinion has slightly changed. I like to keep my reviews as honest as possible. I don’t pretend to enjoy everything just for a few likes. We don’t do that over here on MollyBoyTV 🤘🏻 Thank you all for watching. Please send me some more ZZ Top to react to, I’m intrigued to hearing more of their stuff!

      We still have one record store in my area like that, privately owned and operated since the 60s, with staff who know more than the top 5 pop songs. It's such a rarity, I swear most customers (myself included) make a pilgrimage there at least once a month just to keep them in business. Such a cool place. I'm not normally one for nostalgia, but being able to go to a place and talk about music, pick up flyers for new bands, meet people who are knowledgeable about the music, people who can actually play, an owner who looks the other way (or joins in) when someone sparks up a joint in the store, lol... That's something we need to hang on to.

I was sitting at a table with a couple of friends and grew impatient when we weren't greeted within a few minutes, so I went to the bar to get a pitcher of beer and while I was waiting I looked around and they were sitting right next to me! Big old beards hanging down over big old beer bellies! I didn't ask for autographs or anything, just said hi, shook their hands, told them how much I loved their music, talked for a minute, then got my beer and went back to the table. Cool dudes, just hanging out!

    No worries, young man! You are bravely giving all music genres a try and keeping your mind open. That is HUGE and deserving of respect. Frankly, those reactors who love everything make me suspicious. Every human has individual tastes in art, that is what sets us apart. The key is listening, appreciating the talent involved, and giving respect where it is due. ZZ Top is one of the best bands ever, so they earn your acknowledgement of this even if not your favorite. I would encourage not to give up on them, however, as they have loads of hits.Carry on!

    You don't have to apologize for what you like, my man. For one more ZZTop, try "Jesus Just Left Chicago" - bluesy and groovy. If they aren't for you, then they're not, and that's all good.
    After their third album they changed their songwriting style as well, so "Sharp Dressed Man" and other later songs change direction a little bit for them.

    ZZ Top was formed in Texas around 1970 after Billy Gibbons (guitar & vocals) had toured w/ the Jimi Hendrix Experience w/ his previous band in 1968... Jimi Hendrix himself was impressed w/ the teenager's skills on slide guitar. The trio was completed w/ the addition of Frank Beard (drums) and Dusty Hill (bass & vocals) and they debuted their 1st album in 1971.
    ZZ Top were a blues-based boogie rock band and they toured relentlessly in the 70's and scored a radio hit 'La Grange' in 1973 and were soon scoring more radio hits ( 'Tush' ... "I'm bad, I'm nationwide"... 'Blue jean blues' ) and gold records by 1975. However, w/ success came excess and drummer Frank Beard's drug abuse finally caught up w/ him... As Beard went to rehab, Gibbons & Hill went on vacation.
    2 years had passed by 1979 when Frank Beard announced that he was ready to work again... Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill emerged sporting matching long beards (from not shaving for 2 years 😂) and when they rehearsed, they looked so striking that they decided to keep the look as they released the album 'Deguello' in '79 and began touring again... It was ironic that Frank Beard was the only member w/ no beard and that became the calling card for ZZ Top's career.
    The 80's were rapidly changing the music business and MTV was a major promotion outlet... ZZ Top also became fans of the new electronic & synth pop music from the UK (Depeche Mode, New Order...) and decided to incorporate that sound into their 1983 album 'Eliminator'... It was also promoted by cutting edge music videos and the record was a huge hit, selling over 10 million copies in the US alone and becoming an international hit as well w/ songs like "Sharp dressed man" ... 'Legs' ... "Gimme all your lovin' "
    ZZ Top enjoyed more success w/ the albums 'Afterburner' (1985) and 'Recycler' (1990) as they toured into the 90's... Their 1992 'Greatest hits' CD sold 3 million copies in the US alone. More hits came like - 'Sleeping bag'... "My head's in Mississippi" ... 'Rough boy' ... 'Velcro fly'... 'Planet of women'...
    However, the 90's proved ill-fated for ZZ Top's record sales as subsequent albums failed to be heavily promoted and sold disappointingly... After the 2003 album 'Mescalero'... ZZ Top opted not to make new records and focus instead on touring as a 'legacy' band on their vast catalog of music. They were inspired to record their last album 'La futura' in 2012 after parting ways w/ longtime producer/ manager Bill Ham.
    In 2021, Dusty Hill passed away at age 72... ZZ Top has continued to tour without him.

    When Degüello was released I listened to it, but at the time I didn’t think much of it and wasn’t a fan, then Eliminator came out and I found I liked them better. Over time I’ve come to enjoy them as a band, sometimes a band grows on you rather than an instant love.

    MollyBoy TV, this is your channel and your reaction, and I respect you for keeping it real. There are many songs and genres that I just don't like, and I'll be damned if I'm going to lie to people and say I like something that I don't just to please them. If they get butt hurt, so be it. There's a famous quote by poet John Lydgate that says, "“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.” This is so freaking true!!! Thank you for keeping it 💯 with us!! Peace!! 🤘🏼

    Don’t sweat it man. I grew up with all of this and love all Classic Rock Bands but while I love them all, but they all have tunes that don’t do it for me either and just go with whatever gets your ears perked up and head shaking that’s music. What else I found is, as years went on and I still listen to many bands and their catalog, sometimes the ones I didn’t like in the past kinda bring those memories back but I kinda found myself head banging a bit lol.

    Been listening to ZZ Top since the mid-1970's, seen them live three times, and have always liked what I heard. The guy in the middle of the photo is Guitarist Billy Gibbons, Drummer Frank Beard is on the left and Bassist David "Dusty" Hill (RIP) on the right. Their old stuff is their best stuff, IMO, but even their newer stuff is pretty good. "Mexican Blackbird", "Heard It On The X", "Waiting For The Bus>Jesus Just Left Chicago", "Mellow Down Easy".

    ZZ Top was all about the vibe, not the vocals. They sort of doubled down on their thing and made it work in the time of Beatles and Stones. This tasty blues riff was pretty much lifted from Howlin Wolf or Muddy Waters, OG Black musicians from the 50s who truly invented rock & roll.

    Three "Good Ole' Boys" from Texas. They became popular in the early to mid 1970s, and then they took off to superstardom. Jimi Hendrix sort of discovered them back in 1967, and thought so much of these (then still teenagers) that he asked them to be his opening Band on his upcoming European tour, and they accepted. Jimi said he thought Billy Gibbons (ZZ Tipp guitarist) was the best he'd ever heard. Remember, there are only 3 guys in this Band. A guitarist Billy Gibbons, Bass player, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard Drums. Frank Beard passed away a few years ago. These guys are in their mid 70s these days. Great Band and great music.

    I love your honesty. I see too many reactors that pretend to like something just to please their fans and you can tell that their reaction is disingenuous. It's okay to have and opinion that differs from other peoples. I can't stand whenever people are like, "how dare you not like a song that I like?" I'd rather see a genuine reaction than a poser trying to please everyone. I feel the same way you do. Love the guitar but not fond of the vocals so I'm not really a ZZ Top fan but I can't deny that that riff goes hard and the solo is amazing. I'm sure there are songs that I like that other people don't like. I doesn't change my opinion on it.
