Ok, "Waiting on the Bus/Jesus just left Chicago", "LaGrange", " Tubesnake Boogie", " Pearl Necklace" ... Their Hitlist is as Long as their Beards 😉😎✌️☮️🍻
Ooooo...."That little ole band from Texas" You're gonna love ZZ Top. Three piece boogie woogie, rock and blues....Texas style. 50 yrs and still going strong.
ZZ Top's older music was mega bluesy and was their best material IMO. They went full pop in the 80s and while I still liked their music, it was not as good as their blues sound from the 70s. I must have seen them 100 times in the 70s. If they were playing anywhere in the Southeast, I traveled to see them. The only other band I traveled to see like that was Mother's Finest, from Atlanta. Kick-ass rock and funk. Never made it big here in the US, but they toured in Germany and those people loved them. They rarely came back to the US. They were so good that they caused AC/DC and Aerosmith to cancel tours because people left. Hard band to follow, even for those great bands.
What a great introduction to ZZ-top! One of my favorite tunes by them. In my opinion they where at their top in the 70:s. Before they discovered synthesizers
I'd stay with the older songs for a bit... They're closer to the roots of Top's special sound. My recommendations: La Grange Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago Tush Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide Cheap Sunglasses I Thank You
Glad to see you loving ZZ Top! One of my favorites is "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide". You should give a listen to Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Blues at Sunrise".
They play that mean, nasty, blues rock music. Such a great riff. One of my favorite bands. Love their first 6 albums. Their later cosmic blues rock MTV music is great also. Like Steely Dan, they have an iconic sound that's always there, even when they changed it up through the years. A couple of my favorites are Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings and Just Got Back from Baby's. But you can't go wrong with ZZ Top.
Hope you enjoy listening to one of my favorite bands ever. And fun fact: the inspiration for the name "ZZ Top" came from mixing ZZ Hill and B.B. King (the "top" came from King because the "king" is well, the top).
Fun Fact for you boys again!!!! Billy Gibbons the lead singer and lead guitarist from ZZ Top was Jimi Hendrix's favorite Guitar player!!!!!! Schooling ya'll again!!!!!! Love you brother!!!! Give my love to Mom!!!!!!
hoping you react to videos. Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo is so amazing it will likely bring tears to your eyes. the song alone does not do it justice unless you see it live. Channeling the guitar gods he was and every guitar god out there would not argue with that. i promise you. you deserve this!!
My favorite southern rock band! From my personal experience I can vouch for how perfectly ZZ Top pairs With skiing…….or the gym. I dont think this is the best introduction to them however. For myself, there are a dozen better. But still a damn fine song. Joe Bonamassa does a killer cover of this.
3 dudes!!! Made a lot of money playing this song . just put it on and ride. Jimmy Hendrix said Billy was his favorite guitar player. Also he was tutored by Chicago transit authority guitarist check It All out
More ZZT... *Waiting For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago * Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings * Cheep Sunglasses * Heard it on the X * I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide ...
One of the all-time great songs by an all-time great band. Try "Heard It on the X", "Arrested For Driving While Blind", or "Velcro Fly" in addition to the songs listed earlier.
ZZTop is 2 bands. Great band I loved till Sharp Dressed Man, etc. Kinda like AC DC, Highway To Helll/ Back In Black. 2 great albums but 2 different bands.
Hey check out freebird live only like Stevie ray! Lynard Skynard seen them in concert too. Pls I love this and you will be shocked at how talented they are
If you don't want to be disappointed in ZZ Top just stick to the '70s...They sold their soul to the MTV bullshit "Tits and Ass" garbage taste that permeated the 80s as the image became more important than the music. They broke my heart but they have a great catalog of songs to choose from pre-80s. Stay safe...be well...
They got their name from 2 types of rolling papers, the person who gave another reason (below) is totally wrong. The band started in 1969. Think about it.
ZZ (Zay and Zel) haha, maybe when you get him back on the show you can play this one ruclips.net/video/6naYkchULZ4/видео.html by Nine Inch Nails! Keep up the sick reaction videos man!

Don't forget Sleeping bag and TV Dinner!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Umm... hate to break it to you but they're a duo now.

i feel like ZZ Top kept some of the blues in the 80s, but they made it more appealing to the younger generation of the time.
Interviewer: “How does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world?”
Hendrix: “I don’t know. Why don’t you ask Billy Gibbons?” 😎
I thought Jimi said Rory Gallagher , maybe I'm wrong.
Just a quote I read in Guitarist magazine in the 1990s. Rory Gallagher was one hell of a player. I think Hendrix had a soft spot for Terry Kath too.
He said that about other guitarist that he admired just to deflect the question he was very humble
It was also rumored he said the same thing about Terry Kath. But Jimi did love Moving Sidewalks, though.
We lost that amazing Bass player Dusty Hill in July of last year 🎸 Been listening to this band since the early 70’s and they are top notch!!
Another awsome band Rest in power Dusty hill!!! 😔❤🕊
ANY BAND....that has a lyric like....."last night I saw a naked cowgirl.....she was floatin cross the ceiling".....GOTTA BE COOL.
I saw ZZ Top in concert this past weekend. They rocked!🎸
Lucky you!
I saw them back in the 70’s 😂🎶🔥
What a great introduction to ZZ-top! One of my favorite tunes by them. In my opinion they where at their top in the 70:s. Before they discovered synthesizers
Tres Homres an amazingly perfect album. and the mexican food on inside cover is to die for.
I'd stay with the older songs for a bit... They're closer to the roots of Top's special sound. My recommendations:
La Grange
Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago
Tush
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers
I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Cheap Sunglasses
I Thank You
My faves!!

This is a great song. You're gonna love it ,Zay
One of my favorite ZZ TOP song is "Fool for your stockings " hope you give it a listen 🎶
That Little Old Band from Texas
ZZ Top!!!! Southern fried blues at it's best!!!!!!
If this band has a hidden gem, it has to be Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell, from Rio Grande Mud. Dirty Southern blues at it's finest!
🔥🔥🔥 🎸🥁 🎸 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A great follow-up to this is ZZ's "Gotsta Get Paid". It's a pounder.
Welcome to the dive. ZZ Top never disappoints.
My favorite ZZ Top song.
Check Billy Gibbons at "Daryl's House" doing "LaGrange" and give a listen to a "Brown Sugar"....both fire!
Hope you enjoy listening to one of my favorite bands ever. And fun fact: the inspiration for the name "ZZ Top" came from mixing ZZ Hill and B.B. King (the "top" came from King because the "king" is well, the top).
Rumor has it they got their name from Zig Zag & Top rolling papers.
I don't think that is correct.
I think it came from a blues artist named Z.Z. Hill.
Ultimate Power Trio
BLUE JEANS BLUES !.....................a must ! Peace & Love :)
Fun Fact for you boys again!!!! Billy Gibbons the lead singer and lead guitarist from ZZ Top was Jimi Hendrix's favorite Guitar player!!!!!! Schooling ya'll again!!!!!! Love you brother!!!! Give my love to Mom!!!!!!
ZZTP anytime the little band from Texas, RIP DUSTY
A straight vibe here Zay .
Raw bluesy at its finest .
What a cover ...
You have to check out "Back Door Medley" and "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings"!!!
Another great band that has hit after hit. So happy you've discovered them. Thanks for sharing! Your friends from northeast Florida

I broke up with a guy once who said he didn't like ZZTop, no self-respecting TX girl can put up with that crap. :P
Btw...fun fact....pull up The Who tragedy Cincinnati. I went to that show. Human insanity. GREAT show regardless.
One of the all-time great songs by an all-time great band. Try "Heard It on the X", "Arrested For Driving While Blind", or "Velcro Fly" in addition to the songs listed earlier.
Please also do their song "La Grange."
Tush , LaGrange, all of ZZ Top actually is great. You have years of great music ahead of you. Enjoy!
I know you love the blues element of Led Zeppelin so be sure and checkout “Blue Jean Blues” by ZZ Top. You’ll enjoy that tune 👍🏻
ZZTop is 2 bands. Great band I loved till Sharp Dressed Man, etc. Kinda like AC DC, Highway To Helll/ Back In Black. 2 great albums but 2 different bands.
R.I.P. Dusty Hill.
Hey check out freebird live only like Stevie ray! Lynard Skynard seen them in concert too. Pls I love this and you will be shocked at how talented they are
Gotta love Jesus Just Left Chicago
GRIT.
Their 70s stuff was/is fire. The 80s stuff made them mega-stars for awhile. Personally, I prefer the 70s stuff. The 80s vids were good, though.
1. I'm Bad I'm Nationwide .
2. Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago...
Not necessarily in that order .
If you don't want to be disappointed in ZZ Top just stick to the '70s...They sold their soul to the MTV bullshit "Tits and Ass" garbage taste that permeated the 80s as the image became more important than the music. They broke my heart but they have a great catalog of songs to choose from pre-80s. Stay safe...be well...
Slide guitar hombre.
You need some new adjectives to describe the music!
They got their name from 2 types of rolling papers, the person who gave another reason (below) is totally wrong. The band started in 1969. Think about it.
ZZ (Zay and Zel) haha, maybe when you get him back on the show you can play this one ruclips.net/video/6naYkchULZ4/видео.html
by Nine Inch Nails! Keep up the sick reaction videos man!
Not bad for a three man band ha?
