I have a unique suggestion for you that will take you in a different direction, but one that I'm certain will provide a pleasant journey. The band is called Stone Temple Pilots and the track is titled Interstate Love Song. Enjoy!
I knew you would love this.
From 65 yr old man listen 2 under pressure burger man just got paid im bad im nationwide an ur ears will thankya 4 ever and a day 😂😮😅😊😊😊
Listen to some Blackfoot song Train Train.
@poloreacts sharp dressed man
It's amazing sometimes how the 3-man bands like ZZ, Rush, Triumph, etc slap out the most sound and quality tunes.
All of them were panned by the critics, another was Triumvirat.
I concur!
PRIMUS!!
The Police
Jimi, SRV, Cream, all 3 piece.
The lead singer, is also thelead and only guitarist. Billy Gibbons. Jimi Hendrix met them while in Texas in 1966 and they were just out of High schoolo, and Hendrix heard them play, and even though they were only 18 years old, he asked them to be his opening Band in his upcoming tour of Europe, and He and Billy Gibbons became fast friends.
Thanx for the info, I did not know this.
Last I checked, the bass is also a guitar and here it is played by the the legendary Dusty Hill (RIP) who also does backing vocals and his share of lead vocals throughout their massive song catalog.
Sometimes the B side is the best track
Dusty Hill was lead singer, RIP
hendrix also said that reverend billy was the greatest blues player ever
"Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is one of their highly underrated songs.
Brown sugar, Heaven hell or houston, Ten foot pole
Dustys' vocals on that are top notch. R.I.P. Dusty
Billy Gibbons has a reverent encyclopedic , Knowledge of blues, History, Music, everything... ZZ top stands the test of time
Jesus Left Chicago is one of my all time favorites. Billy's singing and playing are pure delta
Tres Hombres is just one of those albums, it really stands as a full piece of music. No two tracks alike but all seem to flow together perfectly.
back in the 8-track days I would let that sucker play all day
At least until the silver track changing strips wore out and you had to change the tracks manually . .
RIP to an amazing bassist Mr. Dusty Hill 🎸♥️🎶 Grew up listening to this great band!!
Willie Dixon said it best"The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues."
The blues had a baby and named it rock and roll
Oh wise ones! 👍🏼
There was music around long before American Blues, such as European folk and classical music, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. The "roots" of American music go much farther back. Virtually every country in the world had music before American blues.
@@willieboy3011
He’s wasn’t saying that music didn’t exist before American blues music, because of course it did, music is an elemental part of human culture. Willie Dixon was saying that as far as American music goes, blues is where it all began. Whether that’s true or not is debatable, but in context it makes sense. The music that is quintessentially American is The Blues, Country & Western (not modern country music, rather what was originally called Hillybilly music), and Jazz. Rock & Roll came from the blues and country; jazz is its own thing, although there is jazz influenced rock music.
But blues is not where it began, obviously. It is only one part of the picture. Blue Grass did not come from Blues, neither did Country, Western (they used to be separate styles), nor arguably Jazz. American music roots come from many countries, like the immigrants who brought this music with them. @@richardsimpson9039
Being Texan we love our ZZ Top! They are epic! Noone can touch their talents! ❤
Master of Sparks!
Wait a minute. I love Top but I love that trio from Canada too. I humbly suggest that Neil, Geddy and Alex could hold a candle to Billy, Dusty and Frank's talent. 😅
I've seen both. ZZ Top Recycler still holds the title for my favorite show though.✌️
ZZ TOP "Blue Jean Blues"...Nuff Said. 🔥
Blue Jean Blues is probably the best example of "less is more" as far as a guitar part goes . . .
The guitar sounds as sad as the message, if that makes sense.
@@JudgeJudy82 It does & Well said.
When I was a kid, my parents bought me a cassette tape for my first cassette player. It was ZZ Top. Absolutely loved them as a pre teen. I appreciate those guys and love their music.
“Jesus just left….” Is a rock band capturing the blues perfectly 😳🤯🖤🤤
The second part is a tribute to the original, influential blues man Muddy Waters, with even that, “Hey yeah …”
Texas Funky Blues Rock - a style of their own, love ZZ Top.
RIP Dusty Hill 😢💔. You will NEVER be replaced. Thank you for keeping that Bass DIRTY! 🤠🥳
As a blues singer, I really love Jesus Left Chicago. It is really a song you can put your heart into.
I will be honest, I really like most of your reacts, and You are learning, hearing for first time and I appreciate that, you are always honest...and maybe because I am old sometimes you go places I would not. I am biased and know what I like after 68 rotations...but You are Always spot on! You just keep being You...Thanks so much for your reacts....Not unlike The Doobie Brothers, their earlier stuff just made a diff connection...I guess one had to live thru it to fully understand but I like what you do here. The blues gonna get ya man!
Polo, I love that moment when your expression involuntarily changes as the groove takes over you. For a few seconds when the song starts, we’re not sure if this is your kind of groove. Then, there’s this moment where one side of your mouth starts to snarl, and your eyes begin to squint. It’s like you just took your first sip of aged Scotch (or Henny :) and we’re watching the flavor profile take you over, and reset your constitution. This is the exact expression we’re all looking for when you play your favorite song for your buddy, we gonna bond over this shared masterpiece. Thank you, Mr Polo, for sharing this buddy-moment with us.
Definitely check out “Beer Drinkers & Hellraisers” on the same record.
FYI this entire album - “Tres Hombres” - is worth buying, listening to, whatever means you got. It’s fricken Christmas for thine ears my friend.
You absolutely nailed everything I was thinking. I love watching him when the groove hits.
DITTO!!!!
I was in the Army when a buddy came over with this green album and told me I had to listen to it. Weird name...ZZ Top. Album named "Tres Hombres". My limited ( very limited ) Spanish told me 'Three Dudes'. I was neither impressed with the band's name or the album's title if you wanna know the truth. But by the end of the first track I was hooked...and have been hooked for fifty years now. These three dudes are righteous. They get it. And they can lay it down in a way no one else can remotely duplicate. ZZ Top is on my everyday playlist.
While "Tres Hombres" might be their breakout album, my favorite is "Tejas". Just good listening all around. I hope you take the time, Polo, to listen to both albums...before you go down Top's 80's rabbit-hole of highly produced product. I don't mean to say their 80's offerings were bad by any stretch of the imagination, but their bluesy roots kinda took a backdrop when all the glitzy production took place. Kinda lost the spontaneous feeling...if you git my drift.
Said beautifully-pure heart from you and Mr. Polo💗🖤
Texas blues is different than regular blues Great reaction rock on
ZZ Top's First Album is nothing but the blues
This was an accidental segue made by a mastering engineer who missed out the usual gap between tracks, and then it became a staple of their lives shows because it worked so well
and Radio DJ's appreciated the bathroom break it provides
@poloreacts This is the true story!
I grew up seeing ZZ Top in concert really often. We have only seen them once since Dusty passed. Dusty chose his guitar engineer as his replacement. With your eyes closed, you couldn't tell the difference. Super guys, fabulous band!
Texas blues hits different...
Listen to 'Cheap Sunglasses', you'll dig the funk....here ya' go ☕
I think watching ZZ Top performing "Cheep Sunglasses" on British TV show "The Old Grey Whistle Test" was the first time i was introduced to them.
I first discovered these rock/blues legends while stationed in Del Rio, Texas. For a Jersey boy, this blew my mind. I had spent a decade saturated in disco, so this was a welcome genre. I've been hooked ever since.
This was put together this way because they had two pieces they liked, but neither was long enough to be a track by itself. So, they just linked them and put it on the album.
Someone else claimed the record label made a mistake when cutting the master vinyl and neglected to space the two tracks. Either way, it was meant to be.
In a 6 month period when Billy Gibbons was 17, he played in a band called The Moving Sidewalks and opened for Cream (Eric Clapton), Faces (Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood (from the Stones)) and Jimi Hendrix. Jimi is on record as saying Billy Gibbons was HIS favorite guitar player. These guys are legends beyond belief, especially Billy Gibbons.
Definitely check out “im bad im nationwide” one of the best basslines ever
zz top is one of the all time best bands of all time, anything before 1980 especially!!!
Sweet child... gives you warm grandma hugs.. this music is my old time hippie flower child music.. so good, thank you
Fantastic choice. Dusty Hill on bass always lays down a solid foundation. RIP Dusty.
I believe that they’re giving homage to the great blues player Muddy Waters when they say muddy water turns to wine.
I’ve seen ZZTop 3 times over the years. Rocking good time every show! A Blast to see live! ❤❤❤
There are a LOT of good ZZT choices. When videos became popular, theirs always had a particular flavor that was a lot of fun. Sharp Dressed Man is a good choice.
Pre 1980 I was living in SW Louisiana doing radio work. Somewhere along the way someone said, much more eloquent than I, that nirvana is crusing over 80 in a hot rod on a long Texas highway playing ZZ Top. That's what their music was made for. My work vehicle was a Surburban, without a spare inch of space left. No seats, loaded down. I'd remember those words everytime, slouch in the seat and wished I was as cool as I felt right then. I traveled LA 27 a good bit, it and continue the beach side drive (87?) At twighlight 10 out of 10
My favorite line…”I’ll be ridin’ on that bus till I Cadillac!”
Can’t wait. ZZ Top at its bluesy finest!
It's easy to forget that ZZ was a three piece band. They rock...hard. Guitar, bass, and drums. Friends who are bigger fans than me consider this track to be among their all-time best. It's not hard to imagine why. Loved your reaction. The anecdote about your youth was very touching.
They are the best trio to ever come out of Texas!
Two lesser known ZZ Top songs that are worth a listen are Brown Sugar from their 1st album and My Head's in Mississippi, which is the ultimate song to start a road trip with.
ZZ Top is what happened when you l filter the blues, boogie-woogie, and rock n roll through what Texas was in the 70s. While they continued to make some good music into the 80s and beyond, the stuff they did in the 70s just has a different feel dripping with soul and attitude. Great stuff that stands the test of time.
That's the best ZZtop song ever. Saw them in Albuquerque last year. Was crazy.
Saw them at the pit in Albuquerque around 1972 or 73. They are open for BB King, and before ZZ Top, with black Oak, Arkansas. ZZ Top, dear I say, both of the other acts away. You could see how happy B.B. King was. He came on after them and encouraged the crowd to show them some love and give them another encore. B.B. King; class act all the way.
ZZ Top - always woke me up. I listened to them on the way to work. Late 60's on an on. They kept Houston moving.
I believe that the Blues may take age to fully appreciate. The older I get the more I love the Blues!
I saw them in Austin I 1986 and again in…1990?? In Charlotte. Great shows!! RIP Dusty. You will always be around.
I was at the Charlotte show. The Black Crowes were supposed to open for them but canceled because they thought they were too good to be opening act for a 2nd class over the hill band like ZZ.
They chose poorly.
That was a great concert!
You are spot on, ZZ is pure road house, juke joint music built for good times.
Stick to older ZZ, their newer stuff, while commercially successful isn’t the best representation of their talent. Older, bluesy, gritty, dirty ZZ is the best. IMHO
Check out- “I’m Nation Wide”, and “Just Got Paid”
Agree. The eliminator album, marked their cross over into a more commercial rock based sound as opposed the the more southern boogie influence early stuff. Though thankfully they never strayed to far from their roots or became a "hair" band🤣
That being said the commercial stuff did get their music into the ears of a lot of people who wouldn't have heard them otherwise...and some of those listeners discovered the old gold in their catalog.
@@johnnemo6509 ZZ are a "face hair band".
@@brianmiller1077 except for the drummer Frank Beard which shows a sublime sense of humor
@@johnnemo6509 A moustache is still facial hair :)
For me, these guys are as important a part of TX as Willie Nelson. It's a viseral thing. I can't remember how many times I've seen them both since the early 70s. Legends!
“Tush”, “Tube Snake Boogie”, “Mexican Blackbird” and “Heard it on the X” are all great songs.🇺🇸🇨🇱🤘🏻😎
I think I have recommended this one, too. One of my ZZ favorites.
👍
Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. My first rock concert:
May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University
Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top
4 bucks
It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, BG and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since.
RIP Dusty, Rory, Lou, and Rod. Thank You!
Keep Rockin, Gerry!
You and I were probably at many shows together at at ETSU & Freedom Hall.
From Kpt.
Lots of your last name in ErVin and surrounding area.
amirite?
@@JoeandAngie Yeah, I'd say so. My cousin was a ticket vendor for Freedom Hall. I didn't miss many shows there '74 - '82. (moved to Raleigh after ETSU Grad)
Some of my fav old school ZZ tracks are:
Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings
Heard it on the X
Manic Mechanic
Balinese.... Down at the Balinese
I'm a huge ZZ Top fan. You can usually tell their music without them singing a word of it. They have a special sound that can't be duplicated. Its amazing.
A couple other songs by ZZ Top worth listening to are "Nation Wide" and "Just Got Paid"
Brown Sugar!!!!!
These tracks are about them listening to late night blues radio from chicago.The blues drifting south down the airwaves them them! Thus a great influence on their music.
“Ahhh ….take me with you Jesus “ 🔥
You do know that this is just three guys. And they Rock. Solid
Caught these guys this summer still killin it. Great show. RIP Dusty Hill 🙏
Thank you Polo! Funky was the word I was looking for. Funky bluesy Texas gold!
I cut my teeth on ZZ Top going through high school, in the last half of the 1970's. I always considered their "genre" to be a mix of the best parts of Boogie-Woogie, and the Blues. This tune is actually two Blues tunes, run together. "Waitin For The Bus" was a collaboration between guitarist/vocalist Billy Gibbons, and bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill (RIP, Dusty). "Jesus Just Left Chicago" was also a collaboration by all three band members, including drummer Frank Beard. Concerning the back half of the entire tune, Billy Gibbons states "It's the same chords as 'La Grange' (With the Robert Johnson lick), but weirder."
So fortunate to see ZZ In 1987 live & it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen .
that's the rev billy g... from h town bro his guitar spoke with a south texas accent...❤
Have mercy, Polo is going there!!
This is in my top ten list of ZZ Top songs. Honest reaction again
ZZ Top is a fantastic 3 man group.
Commenting before watching because i knew that you'd dig it.
Damn good music. Whole lp.
Dang man, lived in Memphis from 85-90 and i soaked up the blues eva'day.
No one was angry back then. Had a blast..we ALL partied together. I was 24 in RX school.
Was already a huge Muddy, Lightnin Hopkins and Wiilie Dixon fan
My parents love ZZ Top. My fahter was a Welder and my mother was a Blue Print Reader and Pipe Fitter. They worked on the Nucular Power Plant is Kansas in the early 80's. On the long tiprs back home to Tennessee for the family holidays they would play music. ZZ Top and BB King were at the Top of the road trip collection. Fleetwood Mac was on there too. If you are taking requests I would like to make one. Fleetwood Mac- Chain the Bass is great in that song. To me it sounds like the Bass is the star feature in this song. Thanks and God Bless you and yours.
❤🎶🎸🎵
An absolutely great example of ZZ Top being an amazing Blues band,
Some of the stuff they do with blues in subsequent works blends in some Great jazzy bits, and whatever other elements you might be needing and knowing it till the show your ears.
Their like that, y'all.
You gotta check out "Tush". my favorite ZZ song.
Muddy waters ...great blues musician
Back in the day, my best bud in HS, used to take excursions in his Pontiac LeMans which had an 8-track player. One of which was ZZ Top and we referred to many of their tracks as "driving music". Particularly, "La Grange". Was the best part of school.
The little 3 piece band from Texas that DELIVERS! 😊 ❤
You got to it!!! Thanks! ✌️❤️🤘🥁
ZZTop - “Just Got Paid” 🔥
I've been on a blues/rock jag for the last few months. ZZT really hit the spot. Takes me back to listening to them in my bedroom in '73 with a fat spliff. Down and dirty.
This music is Texas Roadhouse Blues!!!
Highly HIGHLY recommend Backdoor Medley from the Fandango album. It is a live recording, and the energy is insane. It's a song that will not only get you pulled over for speeding but will also get you off with warning as a justifiable offense.
This is one of my favorites from them back in the day and one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It's just killer.
ZZ Top is one of the great 3 piece bands EVER. They have been together for 50+ years and have soo many hits. Brown Sugar, Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings, and Thunderbird are among my faves.
ZZ Top at it's bluesy best, "Blue Jean Blues," you won't regret giving it a listen!
If your digging on this may I recommend "my heads in mississippi"
Hey Polo, ur awesome...they do have charisma. I love ZZ Top, 100% greats. They have so much CONFIDENCE in the way they play dude.
Back when ZZ Top was a bad ass down and dirty blues band, before the MTV era stuff. Just in your face and down your back. Shivers.
Just so many unreal songs in their catalog ...check out gimmie all your lovin.
I was born and raised in Chicago in 1945. As a youngster music became, and still is one of the best thing God ever gave us. All music is worth at least one listen, some multiples on top of multiples. Thanks young man for producing your show it is great. As for ZZ Top they created something special and lasting. If you haven't already check out Eli Paperboy Reed, a black man in a white kids body!
Thanks you JESUS 🙏🙏😎
My two fave songs❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
ZZ Top is just another great band from Texas. Billy Gibbons is still as great on the guitar at 74, birthday in 5 days, as he has always been.
My favorite part of the song is that thick bass line that the late Dusty Hill laid down. In my opinion the best ZZ Top is everything done before the Eliminator album.
Listen to Francine, Blue Jean Blues, Heard it on the X, Tush.
"I coulda sworn these were white guys"...LMFAO! Great honest reaction...picked tres hombres out at the library at 17 and qas in awe....still am 52 years later
Best change up ever!!
This track is a fire breather for sure...
Billy Gibbons told anytime that the bass has to be "dry like a fart" for ZZ Top music. That is one of the fundaments. And the perfect timing between the drums and the bass is great. One of the best bands I've ever heard in my live.
I absolutely love the blues
I’ve seen the mini time is back in the 70s and early 80s amazing group 3 musicians can put us serious rhythm in blues
Down in Corpus when this album was coming out.. damn... I remember this
TEXAS ROCK....BIKER BAR SOUNDS.👍🏼🎸❤👍🏼🎸
Man. I rarely see people do the songs together as they are meant to be done. I am glad you did that. It is the proper way to experience these two great songs. A couple of songs that have that slow grind to them like the second song here, "Blue Jean Blues" and "I'm Bad, I'm Nation Wide." If you want something faster, I'm gonna go a little different than the others. "Got Me Under Pressure" is a real blast, and will have you moving in your seat.
That little 'ol band from Texas playing the delta blues
Seen them in concert with Leonard skinnerd.
I had to laugh, I had this on eight track and wore it out so bad - i had to make a wood wedge to jam in-between the tape and the radio in my car to get it to play without dragging...
We used a book of matches.
well... you remember when an 8 track would do that it was always a mad dash to find anything that would work, never did a match book - needed the matches...
ahhhh the memories tho@@boroblueyes
Don't forget, having to splice the tape when the player ate your tape.
