Fun fact! This is actually a cover of a hip hop song called "25 Lighters" by DJ DMD feat. Fat Pat and Lil' Keke. One of the rare examples of a rock act covering a hip hop song and not making it corny and "ironic".
Agreed. Here's the history for full reference: ruclips.net/video/bu2HorvEGUM/видео.html
Rock covering a rap song, now that's a switch 😅
@@youtoo2233 What isn't surprising, at least to me, is that the rock version is so much better.
Absolutely agree. Its funky, gritty and ZZ all the way. Excellent cover.
Where do you get your information this came out a long time ago
I love hearin' Dusty come in with the high register on the chorus🤘RIP
PEACE from Pennsylvania ✌
RIP Dusty Hill.... love the heavy distortion combined with Billy's gravely voice ... such a solid rock tune....thanks guys..... oh.... and Surfing with the Alien please...
Dusty would play his bass with screaming overdrive/distort. He is often overlooked as one of the guitar gods....I remember reading a review that said Dusty's bass "would loosen your back molars"-LOL
Heh I don't think they could handle surfin'.
You boys have just been baptized by the Reverend Billy G and his awe inspiring rhythm section!!! Welcome to the Blues Congregation!!!
Not sure which distortion pedal Billy was using, But I'm willing to bet it's his expandora. ZZ Top has a monstrously Deep catalog. You gentlemen just fell into the well of Boogy Woogie. Too many fantastic albums to pick.
My personal favorite is El Loco. / grin.
Always fun to see you boys rock out to some Nasty Blues.
@@markanderson2145 George Thorogood is a good rock/blues performer also.... you two loved One bourbon One scotch and One beer
Dusty died!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Cool song which I had never heard - nice job!
Now, “I Thank You”, “Nationwide”, “Heard in on the X” and sooo many more you should hit!
Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers is an overlooked masterpiece. Van Halen used to play it in concerts and their version is cool to hear for fans of both bands.
Motorhead's cover is pretty good too
Eddie's solo in "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers"....sounds phenomenal and fun.
That was the '82 Largo concert? '83??
There's a ZZ Top documentary currently on Netflix. This song and many others are featured. Recommended for all fans!
@@todvball Largo, Florida?
canadaguy211ca ... and I'll 2nd that! :-)
Guys there are still thousands of songs you don't know. With age comes experience and some of the best damn music you ever heard! Patience boys, patience. 😎
Oh, yeah!
I do not second that call for patience...Hurry up and increase the number of song releases per week. You both have SO MUCH work to get through!!!
@@clarencewalker3925 😎
@@gbsailing9436 Lol! Tell 'em GB.😎
You're welcome.
I admire Alex's dedication, I hope he ran from the bar with his hands overs his ears yelling LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA at the top of his lungs.
An unexpected treat. The mastery of Billie Gibbons. Sweet fat and fuzzy.
Love it! Before the song even ended, I checked Spotify, found the song, added it to my faves, googled the lyrics, then googled again to find out what they meant 🤔. Your work here is finished, guys. Have as great a day as you've already given me.☮️❤️☮️
You should check the whole Rick Rubin produced album " La Futura" !!!
Their best since "El Loco" !!
@@jgsrhythm100 I definitely plan to!
The magic never fades.
Rev Billy G drops new stuff literally all the time - he's never stopped.
🤘🤘
Damned straight!
One of my favorites that gets no love is "Brown Sugar" off of their first album.
So there is someone else that loves that song..... Good fellow! 👍
“Blue Jean Blues” is another crazily good tune. If you want to hear another great song with such fuzz guitar sound, check out “Balls and Biscuits” by the White Stripes.
Blue jean blues is probably my fav from ZZ
It's Ball & Biscuit and it's awesome
"Blue Jean Blues" is a great song. However, when I need me some Texas blues I turn to "Fool for your Stockings". As "Blue Jean Blues" is from a younger ZZ Top (obviously) and sounds like it, "Fool for your Stockings" is more mature, seasoned, and emotional sounding. Another fantastic song nobody EVER mentions is "Hot, Blue, and Righteous". What great music these three dudes made.
@@daveminers3404 amen!
I agree with both.
Blue Jean Blues I agree with whole heartedly... I would add "Rough Boy" a mid eighties release that hits different (ballad?) But I love it, just can't handle the video that goes with it
How had I forgotten about this ZZ Top song??? RIP Dusty
Didn’t Elvis do this first?
You just introduced something to me.... never heard this and it's a banger!
Hey Friends! Little known: Jimi Hendrix lauded Billy Gibbons when he was coming up as one of the best rock guitarists he had heard at the time. When you guys are in NM, I'll school y'all young'uns (vernacular in honor of "That Little Band from Tejas") in some 8 ball! lol. Great day/Great Life!
I knew this..😎
It's well known if ya watched the documentary...
Jimmi said that about a lot of guitarist, he was just a humble man.
I Thank You is one of my fave songs by ZZ Top,,a cover of a Sam & Dave song. Amazing. They are amazing.
This was new to me, too! Loved it! Y'all still need to check out their song "Cheap Sunglasses!" 😎😎😎And for newer music from a longtime artist, one name comes to mind--Willie Nelson. The man is 88 years old and is still writing, recording, and touring! 88 years old!!! One of his current songs that I really love is "Love Just Laughed" from his 2020 album "First Rose of Spring." Something else he's done in recent years-he recorded two Frank Sinatra tribute albums: "My Way" and "That's Life." Willie's vocals just shine on those albums. He is truly a living legend. Of course, I can't wait for you to discover his older material, too!
🥰
love cheap sunglasses oh yeah gotta hit that one
Thisalbum La Futura (Rick Rubin produced) is their best since " El,Loco".
Check " It's not Easy Manana.
Speaking of great Willie Nelson records, I think they might like Spirit (1996). It's really stripped down and intimate, and it's just a really strong group of songs.
@@schubertiad agree! Outstanding album!
Just the sound of this reminds me of the tones they were using back on the Mescalero album from a few years before. Great stuff that flies under the radar!
"La Futura" is easily the best album ZZ Top have put out in decades. "Chartreuse" and "It's Too Easy Mañana" are my favourite songs from it.
chartreuse is awesome
Always happy to see an Andy & Alex reaction video! 😺 🐾
This song is new to me. The distorted guitar reminds me so much of the early Black Keys albums. Love it
Haven’t heard this song in YEARS!! Kudos to the bar that was playing it, thanks for sharing guys 🔥 🎸
This is a 90s hip-hop song originally done by Texas rappers DJ DMD ft. Li' Keke & Fat Pat. It is cool ZZ Top covered a raps song. Gibbons met rappers in a recording studio and they started talking and exchanging ideas and he got permission to rework the rap hit. Fire!
Old ZZ Top fan here. Never heard this song before.
It's STONKING! Thank you :)
I never heard this song before, or anything about the album, but it was definitely a good song. I'm going to throw in my vote for Heard It On The X for the next ZZ Top reaction. I saw ZZ Top in 1979 and they put on a great show. I also want to recommend I'm Bad I'm Nationwide for a reaction.
I saw them in 86 and they were amazing. My breastbone was vibrating so hard it was still aching the next morning. Thankfully it was a Friday night and no work the next day because I was still buzzing!
Another vote for "I'm Bad I'm Nationwide". Great ZZ!
Vote. heard it on the X
Manic Mechanic" is from the same album ,that probably was the most weird niche song they ever did ..It use to get a lot of FM play on the better stations thet were more into the non hits ..It is their best deep track if that can be a proper tag for it ..
Getting stoked ✌️ w ZZ Top, it's a real thing. Never dies. Hard core.
Alex, thx4 walking out of the bar that night & saving it for all of us to do together! 💜✌️💜✌️
"She's Just Killin' Me" is also excellent late-period ZZ Top, but you've still got a whole host of earlier songs to check out... a lot of folks here've mentioned them already: Heard It On The X, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide, Cheap Sunglasses, and many more...
Wow I don’t think I ever heard this song by ZZ Top either. Serious heavy fuzz tone, great guitar 🎸 work by Billy Gibbons. 👍
This song is based on
"25 Lighters" Song by Houston rapper
Lil' Keke featuring Phat Pat.
This. ZZ album " La Futura" ( Rick Rubin produced) is there best since " El Loco.
In fact their are much better tracks
1) It's not easy Manana
2) Heartbreak in Blue
@@jgsrhythm100 Thank You for the info, I knew nothing about this ZZ Top Album. I’m going to have to give it a listen 🎧
@@jgsrhythm100 thanks for that…. Zz ripped him off
@@sst3d Wouldn't say ripped, just based on the other track and sort of an homage to fellow Houston artists(which they give credit to)
It's a clever idea and works.
TV dinners is another good one
Whether or not you are a deep fan, you can't help rockin' to this song. Loved the vibe. Thanks guys!
Bowie’s last album, Blackstar, is a must. Recorded when he knew he was dying and released just two days before he passed in 2016. Recommended tracks: Blackstar, Lazarus, I Can’t Give Everything Away
Bowie's Heathen (2002) is a very strong effort as well.
This is authentic ZZ Top.
Billy Idol just put out a new one titled 'Bitter Taste'. He's still got it.

ZZ Top is from Texas. In1989 DJ DMD (also from Texas) had a rap song called "25 Lighters". When ZZ Top's studio was being worked on they shared a recording house with a bunch of hip-hop artists. They got to be pretty good friends and ended up reworking the song. BTW, in Houston, dealers used to take Bic Lighters apart, remove the inside and fill them with crack. So yeah, this song is about slinging rocks.
Love this more current song!! It’s great you guys hit more recent songs too!
So hard to pick a favorite, I'll highly 🤭 'highly' recommend FOOL FOR YOUR STOCKINGS, and MY HEAD'S IN MISSISSIPPI.
GOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!
☮️💟♾️
Hey, good morning John! 😸
Good morning✌✌
@@catbutte4770 like that name. ✌🤣🤣
Hey @John H! Good Morning! 😊
@@oldeskoolnana7543 Thanks and I like your name too!
Saw them in 1981 and my ears haven’t stopped ringing since awesome! Thanks Guys
Blue Jean blues
Nasty. Nasteee!! Definitely could fit in classic ZZ Top era.
Another great ZZ Top song that really didn't get a lot of airplay in 1976 is 'Arrested For Driving While Blind' from their Tejas album.🌞
that whole album....
ZZ WTF!! Playlist!! Found Just got paid a few months ago, and now this little firecracker. Well this 60 year old drummer is heading to the kit, gotta bring this one up with the band.
Love this track, thanks for introducing it to me. I think Billy Gibbons put out a new solo album in the last year or two. I only heard a little, but it sounded really good.
First time hearing this. Classic ZZ !! no one else has this sound.
Also from 2012: Rush "Headlong Flight" from their final, swan song album, 'Clockwork Angels.' You can also hit "The Garden" (the final cut on the record), "BU2B" and "Caravan" (which is the opening tune. RUSH RULZ!! ✌💙🤟
#savesoil
100% agree. Rush has gems throughout their career... don't stop in 1982!
Leave That Thing Alone live in Cleveland would make for a great reaction...
Very strong songs. Its a great swan song. I thought, as an album the album, the one prior to Clockwork Angels, Snakes and Arrows, is even better musically.
A&A would appreciate them and Counterparts a great deal, I think.
NOW WHAT? is a relatively new (2013), really great album from deep purple
You wanna try a really twisted ZZ Top tune? "Manic Mechanic" is where it's at!
Love the guitar tone and how it just zips out at the end.
Seen them in concert for this album when they opened for another band. Another good song from this album is Chartreuse. This is a strong album from them, and shows their change throughout the years compared to their early stuff.
Saw them live in 2017, they ABSOLUTELY still have it! They're my husband's favorite band, and I've seen them in concert more than my own favorite band!
Van Halen’s last album in 2012 would definitely be worth checking out.
Hell yeah! That album is awesome.
New to me and I love it! Thank you young guys!
This is actually a cover of 25 Lighters by DJ DMD.
😎
Houston rapper
Ocean Colour Scene, The Riverboat Song, 1996. 🔥🔥🔥
Springsteen’s most recent album, Letter To You, is terrific…has some bangers on it.
Was just reading him and E Street are getting ready for a world tour starting in June
Saw them couple years ago and they rocked the place! Skinny old man rocked it!
Depeche Mode has been going strong since late 70’s!
Finally! You’re heads were actually bobbing in unison at 3:50. I think that’s a first. It’s like when your turn signal, windshield wipers and the beat of the song on the radio all match up!
AC/DC's year 2000 song Stiff Upper Lip has a slightly similar riff (different tempo). That's a good example of an old band who's still got it.
Both albums are Rick Rubin produced.
The first time i heard this song "I Gotsta Get Paid" by ZZ Top is when the video came out back then and as soon i heard those first riffs i was like wooooaahh, thats so cool 😎 and still is...
Tommy Bolin “Marching Powder” off the Teaser album . Funky fusion with stand out guitar and drums ( the rest of the band also nail it)
Yes, though I would check Homeward Strut first!!!!!!
@@jgsrhythm100 I just listened to the album last night and normally I would go with Homeward Strut but Narada Waldens drums are so good on Marching Powder I had to switch up
@@anthonytice3028 The whole " Teaser" album is S- Tier. My favorite album period !!!!!
@@jgsrhythm100 it would definitely be an eye opener for a lot of people as a full album listen but I don’t see that happening
Love it! ZZ .....one our finest Southern Rock bass playing wizards@
Billy GIBBONS VOICE IS BADASSSSSS🎶🎶🎶😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Gives me Jack White vibes with all that distortion and the bluesyness of this tune. Awesome!!!!
Between ZZ Top, Nirvana, and Rush, it's amazing how much noise 3 guys can make when they put their minds to it.
Don't forget Hendrix and Cream.
@@JoeMama410 And The Police.
Budgie
Always been a fan of the older ZZ top music
RIP💞 DUSTY HILL💛💛💛💛😎🎸🎶
This is the kind of song I love to hear in my favorite blues bar in San Francisco, The Saloon, Est 1852. Janis Joplin's band used to play there among others
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull just released a new album. Jackson Browne plays new and old songs on his YT channel. Pink Floyd has been re-releasing 360 versions of their albums. Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna has concerts at his Fur Peace Ranch guitar camp on his channel. There's lots more.....
Saw Hot Tuna at Stony Brook University in the 70's. It was awesome.✌✌
@@oldeskoolnana7543 The Papa John Creach version was super-cool. Not to be forgotten!
Newer songs from old school artists that you love? PLEASE hit some late Rush. You should really react to their entire final album, Clockwork Angels, because it's fantastic, but outside of that a couple I think you'd really appreciate are "Earthshine" and "Armor and Sword". They're two of my all time favorite Rush songs, you'll love them!
Glad to see you fellas revisit my favorite band! Been listening to them since 1977.
Alice Cooper has been cosistently been putting out killer music!!
1) "The Song that Didn't Rhyme" (03)
2) Sunset Babies ( All Have Rabies) (05)
3) Last Man on Earth (2011)
All as good as his 70's material !!!!
It's been mentioned, but 2012 Rush...last album. Song, "Headlong Flight".
These guys have always been known for cranking out great " signature guitar sound" . This is different because their jamming with new distortion sounds, definitely not their regular sound.
You can practically hear the speakers shredding from the distortion in this one!
Billy Gibbons also used to use a peso as a guitar pick for added distortion from time to time! 😎
I saw ZZ Top live in 1991. 13th row center seats, Black Crows opening. ZZ Top put on the best concert I've ever been to, no contest.
The guy screaming out was Dusty Hill who sang "Tush" (& others) Sadly recently passed away losing your chance of seeing original lineupl BTW this album," La Futura( Rick Rubin produced ) is their best since " El Loco!
Their are better tracks.
1) Heartache in Blue
2) It's not Easy Manana
Hope they head back out on tour in honour of Dusty, with either their guitar tech or Leland Sklar on bass. Both are great on bass and have bad ass beards
@@HamiltonRb Ha, Leland Sclar would be perfect !!!!!!!!!!!
@@jgsrhythm100 He certainly would be, and has said him and Billy are good friends. Fingers crossed
@@HamiltonRb Love Leland on Billy Cobham's " Spectrum" featuring my favorite guitarist " Tommy Bolin"
" Stratus" & " Quadrant 4" 🔥
one of my favorite ZZ top songs.
Here's the original, "25 Lighters": ruclips.net/video/_iTfoFLz5nA/видео.html
Love it when a band does a cover and really changes it into their own thing, like ZZ did here. Amazing song.
Hell yeah 😎! Straight up Rock and Roll!
I think this could be a cool live stream idea, newer songs by classic rock artists. I’ll submit “Sick Man of Europe” by Cheap Trick, a very quick, heavy, banger from 2009.
Ha, love this song! Glad you've discovered it.
If you haven't hear it, Rush made a concept album in 2012 called Clockwork Angeles and it's a masterpiece.
I've been trying to get them to do The Garden, I've been a Rush fan from the very beginning & it's one of my favorite songs by them ever. Maybe you can start requesting it also to get on the show.
You are correct Texas is different and we like it that way. ZZ TOP is Texas and we love Our little ole band . RIP Dusty ❤ from Cut~n~Shoot Texas
MAJOR NEGLECTION ALERT!!!! You have still not done "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" or "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" from ZZ Top. Dudes... Come on Dudes... You are committing criminal neglect, the Rock Police may already have a warrant made out for you... Either listen to the music, or face the music, just saying. Seriously, these may be their two baddest songs. "I'm Bad" for the historic significance, the hit that put them on the map, MASSIVE '70's hit, VERY cool. "Beer Drinkers", for the BAD ASS guitar work and tasty drums, fantastic, original, ass-kicking.
'i'm bad, i'm nationwide' and 'manic mechanic' or 'cheap sunglasses'...great zz top tunes.
Decent song but like most modern recordings there's way too much in your face compression which just kills dynamics.
There’s nothing like seeing these guys perform in their home state of Texas. Saw them in Houston on the Eliminator tour in ‘84 and it’s still one of my favorite concerts ever. Hope A&A react to “I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide.” My favorite tune by that little ol’ band from Texas.

T.Y. T.Y. T.Y. for going off the grid!!! More often PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

Deep Cut ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Got Me Under Pressure is my fav ZZ Top song.
I am not a blues guy but listen to blue jean blues. Will blow you away.
first time you guys have introduced me to a song I’ve never heard! Love it, thanks. 25 Lighters on my dresser yessir.
ZZ Top is a kick ass band. Lots of great songs throughout the years!
I just heard this song in the movie “Battleship” and love it!
ZZ TOP-(She’s just killing me, )freakin jams
This is one of the few songs I hadn't heard. It's a banger from a legendary band, thanks for posting it!
