I grew up in early 1990s and with skate punk, grunge, metal, hip-hop, rap, etc…. ZZ Top we’re the most UNCOOL thing to listen to growing up. But now I’m in my 40s and realize these dudes are timeless. I was just a dumb kid. 😂 I have the same beard now
In the eighties the Little Ol’Band from Texas was one of the hottest rock acts worldwide (Eliminator and Afterburner) and during the 90s their success faded a bit, but they were NEVER UCOOL!
I could've had the chance to see them play at the Minnesota State Fair a couple years ago but I had to work. I'm really bummed out I missed the chance to see these guys. It would've been awesome
Badasses like ZZ TOP and. LED ZEP (: Listen too Badass music or were inspired by it (: and it abvously shows in there playing or should I say jaming (:
Yes he is with Eddie VanHalen and Charlie Daniels and the other great ones gone💐🙏🇱🇷 💕🎶 nice night safe travels y'all 😎 grab some 🌮🔔 or have something delivered food and new friends come together 🙏
Not only have I loved their music for over forty years, I absolutely love their style. No other band like them. Lots of music from three dudes. I once told that to Alex Lifeson of RUSH, another three piece and his exact words were, "I guess you haven't heard of ZZ Top". That is praise at its finest.
My first rock concert was ZZ Top in Seattle, loudest band I'd ever heard, my ears rang for a week after the concert. At that point they were still doing the cowboy look, what else would you expect from a "Little old band from Texas"? Still one of the best bands around, would love to see them perform live again.
I was at that concert as well, I remember the roadies were tossing crazed groupies off the stage during the concert. And Billy was wearing a 10 gallon hat and playing his LP back in those days
Was always interested in the group as a kid, I think it was the name. Now that I am an adult I began listening to their music and I was blown away. Most people tend to think they are a rock-n-roll group, i disagree. I think they are more blues with elements of rock(which is what most music is anyway). I also think its amazing how they are just as good live now as they were 36 years ago.
Van James They are hard rock-a-billy/blues/Texas swing/badass Mo Fos!!!!!! I met em at Harrah's North Kansas City casino,in 2000 ,they are both about 5'6" tall!! Cracked me up! These Giants of all kinds of music are munchkins with beards! Great guys though!
Van James my friend, everything you said here is true! They'll tell you themselves that they're more of a blues band than a rock band. I've been crushing on these fellas since I was piss ant. I've seen em live a couple times and they were as good as it gets everytime! Their older albums show their real deal blues talents. Man it don't get no better than tush, la'grange, just got paid, or "my heads in Mississippi",..........! And Jesus just left Chicago! Dammit man! I've gotta stop and put em on! Peace out! Love pussy, and rock and roll baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saddened by the news. A lot of musicians die but this one really hurt me . Love to his family , and the other band members. Billy and Frank , I feel for you
Yep, me l'm from nawth Harris Co. Remember Houston in the '60s. To many people now. Saw ZZTOP the first time though was East Dallas @The Wintergarden on 12-27-81 on El Loco. Twernt no opening act. THEY WERE KILLA!!!!
ZZ Top was actually originated in Jefferson County. They couldn’t get airtime on the overly conservative radio there so they made their professional start in Houston. Similar to Janis Joplin who also moved from Port Arthur to the city to find her fame.
@@laurenganann3457 The band was formed in Houston after Moving Sidewalks disbanded who were also based in Houston. ZZ played their first shows in Beaumont. The band got plenty of airtime from Texan radio stations, but not the rest of US. So yes ZZ formed in Houston and therefore their hometown this why their motto is “That lil’ ole band from Houston, TX”.
@@there_is_nothing_here Yeah,he was mul-ti instrument talented! He strummed & flumpped that bass guitar, and played the electric pi-annie too... RIP JOESPH "JOE" MICHAEL "DUSTY" HILL from '49 ta '21. Busted out doing 21-THUG
I've seen ZZ Top many times.The best time was at the Cotton Bowl with Carlos Santana and Steve Miller Band. When Dusty sang "Tush" and sang the lyrics...'Dallas Texas', the sound of 40,000 people on their feet cheering was the best! Thanks Dusty. Great times!
I saw them a number of times too. I remember seeing ZZ Top open for the Stones at the Cotten Bowl, halloween night, I think it was like 1981? The Fabulous Thunderbirds were before Top and then the Stones. Wow...great days.
@@chilecayenne I saw that show at the astrodome in Houston. My first concert ever was the world wide Texas Tour in '76 will never forget it. Saw them several times since. Man I'll miss them
@@tony057 I was just watching a RUclips video about that tour! They are really funny being interviewed then. The interviewer asked Dusty why they sang about whorehouses. Dusty said, "Well, there's Texas, there's Mexico, and then there's the border towns. And that's where the whorehouses are." It was great! Thanks for sharing your memory❤️
I've been fortunate enough to see these guys about 6 times. I loved each and every show they ever did. Rest in Peace Dusty. Guess it just goes to show that cool can't last forever.
If this doesn’t make you feel like kick starting that old Shovelhead and tearing down the road, you have no pulse. If you don’t know what I’m talking about keep moving.
I agree with Ericynot....I dont understand how they sound so good with 3 basic instruments. Its incredible. They are so good ! I love how they mix pop, country, rock and blues. They play with such incredible tight yet smooth soul.
I saw World Wide Texas Tour in the 70’s and loved them ever since ! The “Fandango” album has never been beat. Unbelievable that three musicians can put out this incredible music. Their signature sound - Texas, blues rock.
Well said ! Everything you said is dead on ! I saw WWTT also and have been a huge fan ever since. The lengths they went to to design the stage for that tour was amazing. "real" Texas sand, cactus, tumbleweeds, rattlesnakes... and a Texas-shape stage. Then, just three incredible musicians put on the show of a lifetime. Incredible !
Saw them live back in the beginning. They had the stacks of amps with the steer horns mounted. The showmanship and musicianship was amazing. Totally mesmerized!
“Deep in the South of Texas Not so long ago There on a crowded island In the Gulf of Mexico It didn't take too much money Man, but it sure was nice. You could dance all night if you felt all right Drinking whiskey and throwing dice.”
The Home Team... ZZ Top..from Houston Texas...get em boys !!! Saw em with The Fabulous Thunderbirds opening for the Stones on Tattoo You tour at the Texas Astrodome...I was in 6th grade.
1251wire I saw in Dallas at the Cotton bowl Oct 31 1981 it rained like hell during the stones but they kept rocking... SRV played with Fabulous Thunderbirds.....
Saw them during the ELIMINATOR tour. They were balls to the walls Rick, boogie and blues. Based on what I've seen from live video, they haven't changed a bit nor lost a step. God Bless them!
For me, ZZ Top was best prior to their Eliminator album. I know that was their biggest seller but biggest doesn't alway mean best. Deguello, Tres Hombres, Tejas, Rio Grande Mud and their half live/half studio album Fandango are where its at.
+Chuck M They had to evolve or die. Happens to most bands. The Beatles died. The Sex Pistols died. I agree with you but I can't criticise them for changing style. Playing 70s blues rock in the 1980s was almost illegal :-)
Roger nice comment 🎶😎 have a good one another gone but not forgotten 2021 🙏🇱🇷 chillin with y'all and some Roosters something that should always be shared is music and food 🤘🥁🎻🎻 have a nice one Sir
Indeed Rugie, back in the day when they were just starting out NM was the first place outside Texas that they went. We loved them, and they love NM. They ALWAYS put on a special show for us.
Bryan Olivo I had heard in San Francisco that Billy and Jimi Briefly shared and apartment in San Diego , I heard that In 1969 when I was in San Francisco, Any body else heard any of that ? Thanks And Warm Regards BV
This is so crazy for me being a young fan seeing them and HEARING them when they were so much younger. So to me they sound better now than they ever did.
I’ve listened to so much ZZ Top this past week, as everyone should have. All of these old rockers all seem larger than life, and it’s easy to assume we’ll have them around forever. RIP Dusty.
Yep! I was in Acúna one time walking down the sidewalk and shopping and three dudes were standing at a pickup truck with ZZ Top blasting as loud as it would! I loved it!
I saw them open for the Stones around this year. They were the top act IMO, the Stones were too over the top, these guys just brought it all out there and laid it all down for us.
RIP Dusty. The last time I saw them in a very very small village in Southern Germany (Schwäbisch Gmünd). And we were soo proud that the little ol' band from Texas were here.
I more than likely was conceived to these guys, I know my parents saw them in Texas in late 83 (indoor show in California) while my mom was pregnant with me, and I have taken my dad to see them twice now as an adult. Forever will be one of my top bands, just love that groove. I just love that some of their live tricks haven't changed in the almost 50 years that they have been around.
Fun fact: For those of you who may not know what the song La Grange is/was about. La Grange is a city between Austin and Houston that secretly 🤫 had a large farmhouse known as 'The Chicken Ranch'. or Texas brothel 'whorehouse' open from 1905 to 1973. Law enforcement turned a blind eye so did politicians. No signs or advertising. Information was spread pretty much just by word of 'mouth'. 😉
I got to see this Played in St louis Missouri at the CheckerDome on The Lagrange tour . There will never be another band like ZZ TOP. THAT LITTLE OL BAND FROM TEXAS
Rest In Peace Mr. Dusty Hill. I saw ZZ Top in concert, with opening band: TheBlack Crowes in Philadelphia, PA sometime in the 80's! ZZ Top came out on stage in colorful little cars!
Saw them in Denver, CO in the early 80s at the Mile High Stadium. What a wonderful concert they put on. Played for 3 hours straight!! LOVE ALL THEIR SONGS! I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe!
After watching and listening to their music in the 80's I had the pleasure of seeing them perform live twice, at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario, Canada. Texas Chainsaw rock never sounded better.

There was never a period that zz top weren't cool . Zz top can cool down a desert
You were 10 years too late

Like Rush, they could do more with 3 instruments than most bands with an orchestra. RIP Dusty.
Yes sir
You speak the truth, Sir!
Or Cream.
Top can do more with 3 chords than Rush with 333333333😵
famously enough ZZ Top & Rush were my 2 free cassette tapes i got for joining the cassette tape club in 1982 and it's the only 2 I needed
I love it when Billy and Dusty go for their "little walk," riffing together
I know !! For a couple guys "at work" they look like they are having a helluva good time..
Tighten up
Yeah men! Was awesome! 🤘🏼
Rip Dusty
So that's what Billy Gibbons' eyes look like! One of the all time guitar greats.
Nice!!
Very well spoken man. You can see those eyes speak of Prince in an interview with Dan Rather.
Chris R, absolutely without a doubt one of the most underrated guitarist of last 50yrs
he's gorgeous under that beard, love those eyes
Sings and plays the lead not many can do that effectively!!!
these boys have a sound that separates from everyone else. instant recognition. but i might be mistaken.
You're right. When Billy plays a riff. You know it's ZZ Top automatically.
No! You are correct! Absolute bad ass. And still tight now
I see what you did there
An ode to John Lee Hooker and canned heat.
MM-HMM-HMM-HMMMM
RIP Dusty! ZZ Top was one of my bucket list bands and got a chance to see them at Bourbon and Beyond two years ago.
Saw Z Z at the Augusta civic center 1979.
Rip dusty.
I could've had the chance to see them play at the Minnesota State Fair a couple years ago but I had to work. I'm really bummed out I missed the chance to see these guys. It would've been awesome
Seen them 6 times going for 7 this year
@@mattharris467 sorry but I don't think they will be touring as Dusty died today.
I was supposed to see them last year, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic 😢
I've been trying to figure out since 1973 how that much sound can come from just three guys. They're a blues freight train.

About "eliminator", i totally agree making ballad in the car (if you know what i mean).
I've seen them live before and after Eliminator.... Before was wayyyyyyy better!!! They melted your face!
and yet it was Eliminator that got me to all of those previous gems(Fandango in particular)
I had the greatest pleasure to see them in concert in San Diego in 1979. You talk about a heck of a concert. I mean they brought it on!

@@patrickkelly9721 Gibbons does not need or use such devices. Many guitarists can play rhythm with thumb and lead with fingers. You can't, that's all.
I more than likely was conceived to these guys, I know my parents saw them in Texas in late 83 (indoor show in California) while my mom was pregnant with me, and I have taken my dad to see them twice now as an adult. Forever will be one of my top bands, just love that groove. I just love that some of their live tricks haven't changed in the almost 50 years that they have been around.
RIP Dusty...You're awesome!
Fun fact: For those of you who may not know what the song La Grange is/was about. La Grange is a city between Austin and Houston that secretly 🤫 had a large farmhouse known as 'The Chicken Ranch'. or Texas brothel 'whorehouse' open from 1905 to 1973. Law enforcement turned a blind eye so did politicians. No signs or advertising. Information was spread pretty much just by word of 'mouth'. 😉
RIP... So glad I finally got to see them in 2019, and yes, this was the song I anticipated hearing the most. Epic, just epic. That riff is magical
RIP Dusty! thank you for the top shelf music & memories!
Prime jamming and object lesson in syncopation and the groove, man, the groove.
I got to see this Played in St louis Missouri at the CheckerDome on The Lagrange tour . There will never be another band like ZZ TOP. THAT LITTLE OL BAND FROM TEXAS
holy shit ive never seen him without glasses on before who knew there was actually eyes under there
i always thought he hid is eyes because they were snake eyes
Rest In Peace Mr. Dusty Hill. I saw ZZ Top in concert, with opening band: TheBlack Crowes in Philadelphia, PA sometime in the 80's! ZZ Top came out on stage in colorful little cars!
Not even close to a ZZ Top fan but this is electric....gotta appreciate....blues united and loved
Seen them Maple leaf Gardens Eliminator Tour. 6th row center stage... Blew my mind.👍🇨🇦
Absolutely love their choreography as much as the music.
Zz top were the first band i ever saw live in our hometown of Houston, TX. Rest in paradise Dusty
This group is crazy. They are fantastic and wonderful . I love them
Awesome it's cool how Billy and Dusty did the shuffling around just blew me away every time I saw them.
RIP Dusty , Legends always live on. We will miss your presence here, but your influence and music will never die. Will see you again one day. Rip 😪
Saw them in Denver, CO in the early 80s at the Mile High Stadium. What a wonderful concert they put on. Played for 3 hours straight!! LOVE ALL THEIR SONGS! I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe!
I hope these fellas make something of themselves.
@Duck Gamerz 1001 hes winding u up man!!!!
They’ve got a lot of potential
Well ...as long as they don't do any of that rough stuff that gets ya in trouble...you know..hotrods and what not...
After watching and listening to their music in the 80's I had the pleasure of seeing them perform live twice, at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario, Canada. Texas Chainsaw rock never sounded better.
respect and love from Egypt 😍
OMG! I fucking love guys! I'm drinking again of course.
