    the song is about the very real "little shack" outside the city limits of La Grange, Texas. it was known as "The Chicken Ranch" because during the depression, customers would pay for "services" with a chicken. it was immortalized in a movie starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.

      I only got to see them once. They were co-headlining with Lynyrd Skynyrd. ZZ Top closed the show. Skynyrd must have had 15 people on that stage, with all their extra guitarists and backup singers. The Tres Hombres came out, just the three of them, and filled that arena with music just as impressively.

    Billy Gibbons has said they wanted to name the band "BB King" but the name was already taken. Here's what he had to say about his famous hat: "These are examples of works of fine textile expertise, woven by members of the famous tribe from Cameroon in Africa, the Bamileke," Billy explained. "Before you can wear the hat, you've got to learn how to make it. And before you can wear it, you've got to be considered a prestigious member of the community. I got lucky and upon visiting Cameroon, I got escorted over to see the Bamileke and I was wearing a Texas cowboy hat. And before the chief came around, I got the elbow and they said, 'Hey that's the chief. Give him your hat.' I said, 'No, wait a minute. Chief, I'm from Texas. We do a little horse trading on these matters...' (Laughs) So he got a nice 10-gallon Texas hat and I walked off with the famous Bamileke hat."

    Billy G is a student of the classic roots of blues. He always teases that his career is built on just three chords, but he is so much more complex than basic blues. It warms my heart to see our younger generation discovering and enjoying ZZ Top - your reaction makes me happy! You nailed it when you said they are "vibing out". I remember their concerts in the 70s and the vibe was real and true. Rest in peace, Dusty.

    Yes, thirty seconds of Lyrics followed by three to five minutes of Guitar Solo, depending on their mood, and it's one of their most iconic songs.
    Sadly Dusty Hill, the other guitarist, passed away in July of 2021, he was replaced in the group by their long-time guitar tech Elwood Francis
    The cap Billy wears is called a Dayshaloo Nudu, a popular hat warn by the Bamileke tribe of Cameroon. He got it some years ago while in Vienna, during which he met the Tribal Chief of the Bamileke, and the two ended up trading hats, Billy got the Nudu which he's worn ever since, and the Chief got his genuine Texas Stetson.

    One spring night in 1974 after doing a gig in San Antonio, the band stopped in unexpectedly to Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos for funsies(actually they knew owner Kent Finlay). Willie, Waylon, Alvin Crow, and so many more music legends came there to play in Kent's place. That was the first time I ever saw them in person.....up close and personal. They were driving a Buick Riviera with a moon roof, and some hottie chick was throwing $20's out of the moon roof as they drove up by the front entry. The license plate said ZZTOP. My brother and I and a friend were standing on the front porch and saw what was going on. We went out into the parking lot and grabbed up a total of $160 in twenties between us....that was alot of money back then. We were all in college and broke, so this was like a prayer answered from Heaven. I was a soph. at that time and what a time it was to be alive!! They did not play at Cheatham Street that night......it was already close to closing time (2 a.m.) but the place was still at least half full. This is a true story. I also used to drink beers with Willie Nelson there and George Strait. George was only a couple of yrs older than me and had the Hole in the Wall band in those years. Steve in Texas.....forever.

    A Tribe leader in Cameroon was admiring Billy's cowboy hat. Through the interpreter, he worked out a trade: the Chiefs hat, for his. The name of the band came from two legendary musicians. Z.Z. Hill and BB king. Billy didn't want to call the band ZZ King. After thinking about it, he decided on ZZ top because King was at the top of his game musically.

    ZZ Top was my favorite band, growing up in the 80's. They have a lot of iconic hits. They've been rocking for decades. This song was released the year I was born, 1973. I still like the original best.

    ZZ TOP in my opinion the greatest rock band of all times. Same three guys from the start. Now unfortunately we lost the great Dusty Hill. He played base in this video you're watching. Billy Gibbons, master guitar player. Frank Beard (clean shaven) drummer like no other.
    Look up the music video's they did in the 80's. Then you will understand there almost cult following.

  • @lathedauphinot6820

    For a couple of years (1973-75?), they might have been the best band in the world. Anything from ‘Tres Hombres’ (like this song, “Waitin’ For The Bus/ Jesus Just Left Chicago”, “Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers”, “Move Me On Down the Line”), … ‘Fandango’ (“Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings”, “Blue Jean Blues”, “Heard It On The X”, “Tush”), … or “Just Got Paid” is a good introduction. Thanks!

    Yes its about a brothel. You need to explore the ZZ Top rabit hole. You gotta check out their songs Tush. Tube Snake Boogie, Just Got Paid, Jesus just Left Chicago, Legs, Sharp Dressed Man, Cheap Sunglasses, Bad Girl, Mexican Blackbird although you may want to do that one private, I don't think UA-cam will allow that reaction. This band has been rolling out hits since the 1960 and until the bass player died in 2022 they were all the three original band members. One of the top five Rock and roll/Blues bands of all time.

    So glad you got to experience my favorite band. And yes, Billy is one cool cat. Behind those sunglasses are the kindest, gentlest blue eyes you can imagine. He is a true southern gentleman. If you want to really enjoy some red hot ZZ Top guitar playing, check out "Just Got Paid". An oldie but you can easily find video of them playing it live in concert. Billy's slide guitar work in that one is epic. Thanks for your vid--I enjoy seeing what people who've never heard or seen ZZ Top before react to. I see that many others have answered "yes", that song is about what you think it is. If nobody told you the whole story about his hat (aka the nudu hat, the plant on his head, etc.) let me know and I'll tell the story. Short version: he got it from an African tribal chief, in trade.

    The hat was a gift from the leader of Cameroon in Africa. He was there as a guest on a diplomatic visit. He traded a ten gallon hat from Texas for it. The hat is called a Bamileke. He immediately fell in love with it. He has since collected a lot of African folk art.

    ZZTOP - papers we used back in the day to roll blunts. Two different brands: Tops and Zig Zags. And yes... the song is what you think it's about. The riff is from an old blues song by John Lee Hooker in "Boogie Chillen'"... same riff used by the Stones' song "Shake your hips" from Exile on Main Street.

    Seen them about four or five times at the Cow Palace! ... long before MTV.
    Tickets were only $10 back then! Awesome times to be a youngster at 23 years old!
    It was always great when after about an hour and a half of wailing, they took a break and came back out always with, "Now it's time for the second half!"
    They NEVER disappointed!

    This song is about a brothel, which is a house of ill repute, that existed in LaGrange Texas from 1905 to 1973. So although I can't read your mind pretty sure that what you were thinking the song was about was probably pretty close to what it was really about.

    I saw them in Hawaii when I was in the Army in 1978.
    They absolutely owned that crowd and had them wrapped around their little fingers. They were absolutely amazing. Fandango remains my favorite album and Mellow Down Easy remains one of the best live party songs of all time.

    The hat is known as a nudu, or Bamileke beanie, Billy Gibbons' traded his Stetson 10-gallon to the leader of the Bamileke tribe for it in Cameroon during a break while on tour with ZZ Top.

  • @mtlhed4192
    @mtlhed4192 2 роки тому +1

    In regards to the hat, If memory serves me correctly, Billy Gibbons was in Africa or somehow met the leader/king of an African tribe. Gibbons had on a 10 gallon cowboy hat & the tribal leader liked it, so they traded each other hats. The African hat has been part of his style for several decades at this point.

    Yes young lady, this is exactly what you think this is about and what a lovely "reaction" ... love it. I'm an old guy so was around when they started over in Dallas. TX. And when they'd come to Fort Worth for live shows, they'd stay across the street from me in an abandoned Mansion ... driving their early 60's baby blue Ford Econoline Van ... spray painted with "ZZ Top" on the sides freehand. LOL Billy Gibbons is considered in the top 5 guitarists ever ... up there with Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen ...
