Forty years later, and ZZ Top is still the coolest. Fur guitars? That spin? Of course, this is a great video and even greater song. I also love how they portray the biker dudes as totally cool gentlemen.
I like how in this, and in other, ZZ Top music videos (ie. "Sharp Dressed Man") the boys just show up and transform an ordinary average person's life, with just one outstanding Texas rocking blues tune!
I think it's fair to say that ZZ Top is one of the most iconic bands in the history of music. Love those Sharp Dressed sounds :) thank you Dusty, Billy and Frank.
I Immediately thought of "Eliminator" and Afterburner" the first 2 ZZ Top Albums I ever bought. Loved them then and still love them today. Talk about an under-rated band. Love their music and as you say Dusty Hill was a great guy.
ZZ Top called themselves "that little ol' blues band from Texas", but we all know that they were more than that. ZZ Top had some of the most badass, skull crushing, hardrocking power riffs ever created in the history of this earth. RIP to a Texas King, Dusty Hill. 1949-2021.
Actually, the media called them 'that little blues band from Texas' as an insult. ZZTop turned that comment around and owned it. You can check it in a ZZTop documentary.
The girl in the hot car. "Kymberly Herrin" passed away today. She will always be remembered for her role in making ZZ Top a household name for millions of boys in the 80s and even today. She was also on the KISS Exposed video during the breakfast scene with Paul Stanley, among other parts. She will be missed.
ZZTop has done a song that people will be listening to 200 years from now! To say that this one is legendary would be an understatement. These guys define two things…Rock and Cool.
I was watching so much MTV the summer of 1984, every frame of the video is encoded in my brain. And I am not complaining. Iconic 80s styles and the whole Eliminator album is a timeless classic. 💗
One of my most watched videos on MTV in the 80s. Cool car & keychain, fluffy guitar & bass, gorgeous girls, payback themed and great song. Thanks ZZ Top ! Even your band name is cool !😁 RIP Dusty Hill
My friend saw ZZ Top in concert and she said it was the best concert she had ever seen. She said they were in sync to the second. I never got to see them but I sure wish I could have. RIP Dusty... You live through your music now and it's amazing.
I saw ZZTOP 3 times...The Recycler Tour (1991) it was phenomenal!! ..then when they toured with Lynard Skynard in 2000...and the last time was 2013 at a local casino... 🙂
I seen Top twice this year, first time Joe Perry opened for them second time they opened for Willie Nelson and they where awesome, although I never did get to see them with the Dust
My brother and I watched this video over and over. We were 13 and 15 and those legs were amazing back then. Now that I'm 52, those legs are more than amazing, they are fascinating.
Rest In Paradise🕊 DUSTY HILL ... Thank You So Much For The Great Music And Talent You Gave To Us And Left To Us!!! The Greatest Rock🎸Band from the Lone Star State: ZZ TOP!!!
The lost art of video music storytelling. A real gem from the early era of MTV & Friday Night Video. They even have a Trilogy of sorts with Gimme All Your Lovin’ & Sharp Dressed Man
Absolutely loved ZZ Top and their iconic hot rod. Fantastic guitar rifs and such memorable tunes. Shocked and saddened to hear Dusty had gone to that highway in the sky. RIP.
I saw them last night for the first time live and was BLOWN AWAY by how good they sounded even at their age. Absolutely crushed it. Wish Dusty could’ve been there.
2:43 The girl in Red, Playmate Kym Herrin, passed away today of cancer at only 65. She had more than her share of tragedies, losing everything in a fire, and having two sisters die before her. But she lived a adventurous life, sailing her boat thru the Panama Canal and traveling extensively. She would be recognized from this video in the most remotest of places. RIP Kym.
My sister & I were 11&12 yrs old when this video hit MTV. We would wait for this video to play. My favorite was the lady in all white, & my sister liked the one in the red top... RIP to Dusty man DANG!!
Dam where has the time gone!!! I remember cruising to Front Street in Philly and watching the all the local hot cars race. All the parties, Jersey shore in the summer!! Hot girls and great music like ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and all the pop bands too!!! What an awesome time!!! I miss the 80s!!!! Dam I wish I could go back!!
RIP Dusty Bro. You, your talent and contribution to music will always live on. Dusty and the rest of the crew gave us great music, and they were the soundtrack of my life and millions of others around the world-Thank you. Dusty and ZZ Top define great music.
It pains me to see another rock music legend pass away! Dusty was like the Paul McCartney of the years of ZZ Top’s dominate reign of the early 70’s, mid 70’s, late 70’s, early 80’s, mid 80’s and late 80’s and so on this band is always gonna be my favorite despite the loss of Dusty!! ZZ Top is gonna keep on rocking no matter what!
Even back in the 80's we never knew what the hell was going on in these videos, and could care less. If a vintage chromed out roadster came pulling up with three or four nylon clad bombshells in high heels and then three hillbilly looking dudes appeared out of nowhere and gave you the key to everything, you didn't question it. God, I miss the 1980's.
I have to admit back in 1984 when my older brother and I watched this video on Night Tracks, I asked him 'WTH are you watching?' However, after seeing it a few times, the video and the song was extremely catchy and I have to give ZZ Top their respect. Got me doing the wave they do at the end. Totally feeling this, R.I.P. Dusty Hill
When this album came out, I honestly could not remember a band more popular or more famous than ZZ Top. I mean you just heard this or Gimme All Your Lovin' on every station, all the time. Absolute banger and absolute legends.
Wow this song brings back good memories of my childhood. I used to watch this video almost daily on Video One hosted by Richard Blade. That show introduced me to Thomas Dolby, Adam Ant and so many other great artists.
God, I miss good rock-and-roll. Autotuned/pitch corrected rap, hip-hop and boy bands are now omnipresent and you have to go hunting in the shadows to find contemporary rock. RIP, Dusty.
I grew up w/ them & they were the greatest. I even got their "key" symbol key chain, RIP Dusty. You will b missed since back then, it was real music...
I was 12 years old when I first saw a ZZ Top video. Became an instant fan. I've seen them live several times and the 'Eliminator' is my dream car. Rest peacefully in the loving arms of God, Mr.Hill. You've more than earned your heavenly rest.
OMG...WOW!! This brings back so many precious memories! I was a teenager in the 80's and in the early years of Mtv, I LOVED this video! I was a fan of ZZ Top's videos and music, some of best times of my life!! 😃
Growing up in Texas, I have seen the boys play a bunch of times. But the best show I saw was like ~1986 in Frankfurt Germany. Some fellow soldiers and I went to see them play. We were blown away, very cool show. I believe it was the tour with this album maybe. Anyway, very cool. RIP Dusty, you left us all alone out here, but with some of the best music ever! Long live the legend that is ZZ Top👍👍
I am an East Coast born and raised man who thinks this is absolutely fantastic! This is still one of my favorite alltime rock songs. I was always fascinated by these guys who never seemed to shave at all! LOL!
What I like about this video is the way the hi-class girls who drive the Eliminator car were so nice to the nerdy girl and even helped the boy who was thrown out of the shoe store get up on his feet despite being out of their league and way too hot for him. Then they help the girl change her drab wardrobe into something sexy. I also liked how the big guy on the motorcycle acted like a perfect gentleman despite looking real tough and menacing (though he probably was when he needed to be as we later find out towards the end of the video) and also telling her to be careful about her skirt getting caught against the motorcycle.
Perfect analysis of the whole video i really like your insights especially about the biker - some men who often have the hardest demeanors are such softies on the inside
Wendy Frazier was her name makeover girl. She was beautiful before makeover I’m 48 now was like 8 when video came out. Even today I still would’ve loved to seen making of video. Yes Eliminator Album was about giving people confidence using playmates as beautiful women. Sadly blonde is no longer with us. May her and Dusty Hill RIP.
I was born in 96. What I've learned about the 80's from their videos are that the girls were attractive. Bullies ran wild. Most 80's artists cannot dance, and the music was greatness.
True, I tell my kids about how they don't have bullies anymore, now it's all just done in social media. Physical bullying was brutal back then, school was like prison, unless you kicked someone's A$$ you got no respect
The women were beautiful, but the glasses were way too big and they wore their pants/shorts/skirts/bottoms way too high (It's almost like female belly buttons were illegal to show in the 80s unless they wore a bikini or were Madonna.).
Hey Echoe, I love your take and much respect. But I must disagree (slightly)😉. Bullies reigned with impunity. The music was AWESOME!! Much better than the dreck being churned out currently. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. But on the 3rd point I must disagree. I was born in 1969 and came of age in the 80s. It's true that there were some beautiful girls back then. But the ones NOW are on a different level. I don't know if it's better nutrition/exercise or hormones in meat. But young women today are definitely more beautiful and have better bodies than women from the 80s. Just one old man's opinion. 👌🏾👋🏿
As far as all time best MTV music videos go, this is easily top 1-2. Outstanding song, great storyline, cool as hell car, attractive women, and the single most badass ending @4:48.
This song reminds me of being a boy back in the 80s. Back then i still had my mom and grandma and grandpa still around. I really enjoy the song. But it reminds me that they are no longer around too.
Song is 36 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was released. An all time classic. "I miss the 70s and 80s." I say, being born in the 2000s.
As someone who was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's, You are right, this is a classic and the 90's was the BEST Era EVER. Time to listen to this song again :)
I'll never forget the laugh my dad gave me over this: We had JUST got true cable TV (and MTV) when this came out. One night, my dad came downstairs to get a cold drink. I was watching this video. My dad was a strictly old-school type- WWII veteran, whole nine yards. I was waiting for some remark about the music and all the hot girls. However, the first thing he picked out was Eliminator. He was more interested in that car than anything else. 😆😆
This video is a morality play. The moral of the story: Wrongdoers may get their way temporarily, but they will eventually be punished and the righteous will ultimately be triumphant. It would be a wonderful world if things always worked out that way in real life.
I along with many, MANY other teenage girls wanted to be ZZ Top girls after this video as we all want happy endings, eh. ICONS. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
Back in the day when I was 6 in 1984 I watched MTV and loved this song, along with The CARS, The Eurythmics, Ghost Buster's, Prince, even Culture Club.

Forty years later, and ZZ Top is still the coolest. Fur guitars? That spin?
Of course, this is a great video and even greater song. I also love how they portray the biker dudes as totally cool gentlemen.
I listen to so many different genres of music, but this is my very favorite song ever.
I can't believe that I never noticed that they didn't have any strings on these guitars...

1:49 the iconic guitar spinning move! Sweet. Love ZZ they rock

So true,Rip Dusty.

Finally the good guy gets the girl!
They always fought for the under-dog. I love their videos!!

Cool car & keychain, fluffy guitar & bass, gorgeous girls, payback themed and great song.
Thanks ZZ Top !
Even your band name is cool !😁
RIP Dusty Hill
My friend saw ZZ Top in concert and she said it was the best concert she had ever seen. She said they were in sync to the second. I never got to see them but I sure wish I could have. RIP Dusty... You live through your music now and it's amazing.
I got to see them once. They were insanely talented. My gosh, they were gifted.

I agree we saw them 3 years ago with John fogherty
I will always dig them twirling those furry guitars. Love ZZ Top.
Farewell Dusty - your synth bass in this tune is absolutely stellar. The 80s ZZ Top was the best era!
Song is 36 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was released. An all time classic.
Wow 36 yrs, time flies hu , i loved these guys had they album , brings back so many memories

Same age as me geuss thats why i love it so much
Almost 40 years in three years 37 now..wow time flys...summer 1984.

Who are these girls?
Growing up in Texas, I have seen the boys play a bunch of times. But the best show I saw was like ~1986 in Frankfurt Germany. Some fellow soldiers and I went to see them play. We were blown away, very cool show. I believe it was the tour with this album maybe. Anyway, very cool. RIP Dusty, you left us all alone out here, but with some of the best music ever! Long live the legend that is ZZ Top👍👍
I love these old videos. They may not have the technical advances we have today, but they were lots of fun to watch.
Every time I want to quit my job I wish it would look like a ZZ Top video.
U mean Big Daddy: King of Kool; Billy and Dusty with their Music, Shades, Beards, Hats, if so I Agree.

It's not softness in this motorcycle man , it is good habits , no matter who he is .

I liked it too- especially when it first came out. I thought dressing like a hoo-ha was fine. :D

One of the most badass bass player in the world. Rest in peace Dusty, thanks for your music, you and your beard will be a eternal legend

Brings Back Very Good Memories From Early 1984. The 80s Ruled!
As far as all time best MTV music videos go, this is easily top 1-2. Outstanding song, great storyline, cool as hell car, attractive women, and the single most badass ending @4:48.
This song reminds me of being a boy back in the 80s. Back then i still had my mom and grandma and grandpa still around. I really enjoy the song. But it reminds me that they are no longer around too.
Amazing! Saw these guys live back in the 90's with Thorogood as the opener...awesome show!
And again .... the Superstars of rockn'roll 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love how ZZ Top are basically magical wingmen who help the downtrodden find love.
This was my FAVORITE video as a child! Loved her transformation!
I hear she really did have legs and really did know how to use them. That is until the accident........
Song is 36 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was released. An all time classic.
"I miss the 70s and 80s." I say, being born in the 2000s.
As someone who was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's, You are right, this is a classic and the 90's was the BEST Era EVER.
Time to listen to this song again :)
Dusty RIP man you and ZzTopp helped me out of the blues through some of the darkest times of my life
epic guitar spins
Stop spinning my son
How do they do that when the music is still playing?
We ready for New yrs
I'll never forget the laugh my dad gave me over this:
We had JUST got true cable TV (and MTV) when this came out. One night, my dad came downstairs to get a cold drink. I was watching this video.
My dad was a strictly old-school type- WWII veteran, whole nine yards.
I was waiting for some remark about the music and all the hot girls. However, the first thing he picked out was Eliminator. He was more interested in that car than anything else. 😆😆
"the whole nine yards"
Love you dude😂
This video is a morality play.
The moral of the story: Wrongdoers may get their way temporarily, but they will eventually be punished and the righteous will ultimately be triumphant.
It would be a wonderful world if things always worked out that way in real life.
it all evens out eventually, dont worry
Tldr; bad guys loose in the end
amen, trash lasts for a moment but decency lasts forever
That is one of the reasons I liked this video.
Well, it took some fairy godfathers with beards to make it happen
I along with many, MANY other teenage girls wanted to be ZZ Top girls after this video as we all want happy endings, eh. ICONS. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
Hi Kat, hope you good👋😊
EXCELLENT VIDEO NOW. THANK YOU FOR REMASTERING IT.
I love this! I’ll never get tired of ZZ Top!
ZZ Top said their music was about women's empowerment, Dusty is now in rock n roll heaven spreading the love
R.I.P. Dusty Hill... spin that bass in Heaven and make the angels rock
GREAT VIDEO AND SOUND.
I must agree...brings ya back....😮
One of the greatest bands/songs of all time, RIP Dusty Hill, gone but never forgotten!
Back in the day when I was 6 in 1984 I watched MTV and loved this song, along with The CARS, The Eurythmics, Ghost Buster's, Prince, even Culture Club.
I remember every one of those like it was yesterday ☺️
The world will miss you Dusty R.I.P.!
Love this video....
RIP Dusty Hill, thank you for the legendary Rock n Roll! ❤😥
