And both are classic trios who were around for over 40 years. In ZZ Tops case, same members for 50 years. I agree that their older ones are better and more bluesy.
zz top was in a class of their own-the only 3 man group to successfully combine blues, rock and that distinctly texas sound all into one.truly unique.just plain BAD ASS!
@@francinefrenier3532 Never heard of the Sir Douglas Quintet. Will have to check them out. SRV and Johnny Winter are from Texas, of course. Tommy Shannon grew up in Texas. and Chris Layton was born there.
ZZ Top - Thug That bass line....in my opinion one of their most underrated songs. TV Dinner, Waitin' on the Bus/Jesus just left Chicago, Girl in a T-Shirt, Heard it on the X, Sleeping Bag, Fuzzbox Voodoo....the list is endless.
TV Dinners is one of their greatest grooves, with droning bass/synth, and Billy hitting some sick riffs with outstanding tone…the song deserves better lyrics, but it’s otherwise some of their best work.
"Waitin on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" are two short blues songs by ZZ Top that are always played together that are separated by about one second.
TEXAS REPRESENT! One of the most underappreciated bands out there. Billy Gibbons is a true master on the guitar. I've had the pleasure to meet Billy twice and have seen them live multiple times. They are the most down to earth and real people you could ever meet. You will never be disappointed in their shows either. Do NOT EVER miss a chance to see them live.
Saw em 4 times, was going to be a 5th in Dayton Ohio in September but with the sad passing of DUSTY, well let's just say I was blessed to to have seen them. To me a top 5 band of all time. Number 1 as a 3 man band fo sure! RIP DUSTY HILL! THANKS FOR THE MUSIC and the great 70's and 80's! Them years were truly truly made up of true musicians. Rest easy Dusty.
"Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is a must tune of theirs. so is "Sure Got Cold When The Rain Fell"...and the live version of "Thunderbird" off their Fandango album.
Hey man ZZ Top was one of my Father's favorite band. He passed away on December 1, 2019. First, I don't know if you've done these songs but if you haven't I want to see you react to either or all. Rolling Stones: Paint it Black The Who: Pinball Wizard Led Zeppelin: Black Dog or Kashmir. He went by Johnny Hop. I love your videos my man. So open minded and fun to watch. Be blessed. Bradley.
When I saw them live back in '79 and they did this song both Billy and Dusty had black and white checkerboard guitars. They started the song and then stopped, said wait a minute we forgot something, they proceeded to put on some cheap sunglasses that matched their guitars then started the song again. That was a great concert.
We told ya. Early ZZ Top is so addicting. Try “Tush” “I’m Bad and Nation wide “. BTW now you finding out why Hendrix called Billy Gibbons his favorite. Keeping in mind when they met Gibbons was only about 18 at the time
Back when they toured with a laser show, this was an awesome song during their set. In the mellow middle part, they change it up a bit from the studio version with a swooping upward crescendo, and the lasers, would do some cool stuff in that time. :) Puff pff pass, baby!
Classic. This came out in 1981 along with AC/DC Back In Black. Saw ZZ Top and AC/DC back to back nights at the Omni in Atlanta in the fall of 1981. It was phenomenal!
My favorite song 🎵 by ZZ Off work with my sweetie in my 1968 Z28 turn it up. Those we're the days, sweet memories and a little sad. But I still have my sweetie !
ZZ Top made a 40+ year career selling us perv rock. 19 Out of 20 songs were about T & A and that's a fact. And don't forget about the little ditty "Francine" where Billy is singing about having a 13 yro GF. You don't ever hear that one mentioned in any Billy Gibbons or ZZ Top documentaries......it's always gets left out with nary a mention.
I see you with them Shades, feeling the Groove, shining with your beard. Hell yeah, that Bass was Phat on that jam! Well Hell Son, you're already in it, Might as well Dive All the Way In .... lol Tush, Jesus Left Chicago, Pearl Necklace are just a few hits you should indulge in. Keep on Banging them out man. Be Cool- PEACE
The only guy who doesn't know that isn't listening to ZZ Top. Every ZZ Top song gets that same comment at least twice. I wish Frank would grow a beard so I wouldn't have to see this same comment with every ZZ Top song.
Brings back memories of cruising the streets in my buddy's 57 Chevy just before leaving for basic training many years ago and cranking ZZ top, especially this one. Thanks for the reaction.
This was a bit before the '80s fashion glasses and referred more to the cheap pieces of plastic junkies and dopers in the '70s used to hide their saucer-sized pupils.
I've said this on other channels and I'll say it here. If someone says they liked 70s ZZ Top but not their 80s stuff (mainly Eliminator) not only are not hardcore ZZ top fans but they don't like groove music. ZZ Top always knew how to groove no matter what the decade. I love their whole catalog.
This has been of favorite of mine for many tears. Also "Mexican Blackbird" is mighty good, and laid back. It's a good tune to lay back in a rocking chair and sip whisky to. So Mellow.
Jamel - early ZZ top is the best, before the synths. Waiting for the bus/Jesus just left Chicago is their bluesy best. Billy Gibbons on guitar is a beast!!
One of the best concerts I ever went too!! As u walked in the area they gave out pairs of 😎 to everyone, n when it came on, the whole place lit up and had those glasses on. Early 80s. Best time ever!!!!
HEY JAMAL!! I want to thank you for all the time and, effort, your channel is GREAT! I'm 54 and , been playing Guitar for 44 yrs, and ,Bass for 42 yrs. My older brother play's Bass. He's alot older than me but, He and, ZZ TOP , He had all their albums, were my inspiration to want to play music! He and I play all kind's of music! Motown was also a big influence! I feel like I know you personally, I think it's just your demeaner or something! BLESS YOU MY FRIEND! PEACE..............................................................
ZZ Topp are one of those 70s bands that I liked but didn't care for their 80s stuff. Aerosmith, Journey and Heart are some other examples. Imo ZZs best song is I'm Bad I'm Nationwide.
You know,you are by far the best of all the reaction people on you tube.You truly enjoy music and why you are not a musician defies me You have rythm and soul!You could probably groove at any kinda music
This is early zztop when they came out with el loco and eliminator the sound changed, you should do tush or I'm bad, I'm nationwide next to continue with the blues era
gotta tell yah, I Love the reaction you have with this old music. I put like that because I grew up with this and Led Zeppelin ect. sometimes old folks forget how good they have it and seeing your reaction bring a new found excitement for what we had and still have today. Great music is never dated but timeless.im not really old but feel refreshed seeing young er ppl and their first reactions to the music I grew up on. Thanks for the great videos and all the best to you.
Stay with older ZZ Top- Heard it on the X, Brown Sugar, Just Got Paid, Tush, Waitin On the Bus/Jesus just left Chicago, Blue Jean Blues, Hot Blue and Righteous
I love the joy you get from the music. I want to suggest a ZZ Top song I listen to every 1st of the month, "Just Got Paid". One of my favourite ZZ Top songs.
They're awesome. Waiting for the bus is another great one. Billy Gibbons, the guitarist and singer, just recently collaborated with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Holme in "Desert Sessions" He played on the track Noses in Roses Forever. Also played with Les Claypool on that one.

Degüello... there is a difference... but yeah.

I believe Jamal would get a BIG kick out of this one ... especially towards the end.
Can't wait!
Just got paid!!! I am 59 yrs old and I can tell you old school ZZ Top is fire! We had the best party music ever in the 70's.
What they doin? Haha, you crack me up.
"Waitin on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" are two short blues songs by ZZ Top that are always played together that are separated by about one second.
You really need to listen to these songs together. Always go for vinyl if you can find it.
ruclips.net/video/0BLof0G2sSw/видео.html
@@jayniesgottagun Yah, this! Definitely this.
This x10. Love this song and those other ones
These songs together are they only way to listen.
Same thing with:
Apologies to pearly/BBQ
"You cant deny the groove baby" dead 😂😂
ZZ Top, Fool for Your Stockings, Driving While Blind, Beer Drinkers Hell Raisers.
Yup after 40 years you can not deny the grove baby! The lyrics still crack me up

What I always loved about ZZ Top was their humor.
I don't think ZZ Top could do a bad song. They're all kick-ass! Cheers, Steve
Roughboy is rubbish, but I agree in principle with your statement.
Its hard to make bad blues songs in the first place tbh
nearly all their '80's stuff was subpar imo
The blues with a splash of rock, a dash of swagger and a pinch of funk all baked in until it's groovy good. That's ZZ Top.
The drummer, Frank Beard, is one of the best on the planet. That's where that groove comes from.
I always found it hilarious his last name was Beard. The only one without one...
Agreed. I love his drumming on El Diablo. It is so smooth, quiet but fast. He is amazing.
Frank is the fucking king of shuffle and soooo damn underrated
One of their best is NASTY DOGS AND FUNKY KINGS. It’s nice to see someone actually recognizing the funk in ZZ
When you go to a ZZ Top concert remember to bring some cheap sunglasses as everybody puts them on when they play this song.
I forgot how much I like this song.. they're playing some complex stuff here
Arrested for driving while blind is my favorite!
The whole Tejas album.

Yes. Grateful Jamal!

He went by Johnny Hop.
I love your videos my man. So open minded and fun to watch.
Be blessed.

“You can’t deny the groove, baby!”… I love it!
When it comes to just good ole feel good music, it's hard to to beat that little band from Texas.
Saw these guys in concert when I was a teenager. These guys were already old men and put on a kick ass show. Billy gibbons is incredible live.
You still have only dipped your toe into the ZZ Top catalog.
I love the way black folks just let their bobbing head take the lead.lol
Glad you liked this! It's one of my faves! I was totally dancing along!

Gotta love when Jamel starts feeling the groove! Lol!
Sharp dressed man is a must listen to when it comes to ZZ Top.
Frank Beard and those drum fills in the chorus. So god damned good.
"What they doin?"
They movin'. They groovin'. They doin' what they doin'. You know what's up!
R.I.P. dusty hill! A TX legend gone 😔
Prolly layin down that fuzzy, dirty bass in Heaven!
Listen to 'i'm bad, I'm nation wide', ' I want to thank you'', 'tube snake boogie' & 'pearl necklace'.
My favorite song 🎵 by ZZ
Off work with my sweetie in my 1968 Z28 turn it up. Those we're the days, sweet memories and a little sad. But I still have my sweetie !
More ZZ Top please,"I thank you","pearl necklace","tube snake boogie","I'm nation wide","I need you tonight" are a few more classics by them ☮️
i need you tonight is soooo good my man...
@@tobaobokoomi1693 Their song, "I need you tonight" is so under appreciated! I just loved the echo. It's a tight slow jam!

I laughed like crazy watching Jamal's reaction in total agreement to this great ZZ Top tune. Thank you so much Jamal ... You made my day!
The only guy in the band that doesn't have a beard ...Is ironically named Frank Beard!!!
2 beards, 1 Beard
The only guy who doesn't know that isn't listening to ZZ Top. Every ZZ Top song gets that same comment at least twice. I wish Frank would grow a beard so I wouldn't have to see this same comment with every ZZ Top song.
I've said the same for a long time myself
This is easily one of the most funkiest songs ever made. Mind blowing what Texas blues can do.
Now your on to greatness! Love ZZ Top
3 man band can rock it out! Saw them 80s, 90s and 2019 there 50 tour. Love them.
Tush
You should check out "Jesus Just Left Chicago" by ZZ Top. Bluesy with a nice groove.
These boys loved to have fun..... 50 years together
I haven't heard this in years, in the 80's I never noticed it's basically 70's R&B and soul with distortion peddal, It's got a Mellotron for Gs sake.
Mellotrons are more British prog.
Brings back memories of cruising the streets in my buddy's 57 Chevy just before leaving for basic training many years ago and cranking ZZ top, especially this one. Thanks for the reaction.
Cheap sun glasses were a popular fashion choice back in the 80's, the darker, the better.
Yep. And sometimes the cheap ones were the ones with all the crazy, possibly neon colored styling.
I still wear them!

Great band that my husband turned me on to.
That little ole' band from Texas has SOUL! Always been that way! Glad you got turned on to 'em.
The whole Eliminator album
Tres hombres>>>> eliminator
Fandango>>>>> eliminator
As a metal fan I like heavier and nastier stuff so I'm going to go with Rhytmeen.
I'll be seeing them in concert in August.....again....seen them many times through the years.
Try the ZZ Top song Pearl Necklace for something completely different.
Great drumming!!!!
Pearl necklace is my favorite song!
About To Request Pearl Necklace Myself!! You beat me to it (no pun intended)🤣🤣🤣
every man luvs givin' the pearl necklace, thats a given!! 😈

You can't deny the groove... Love that comment! I went to 3 of their concerts and all I can say is just WOW.
Do "Just got paid"- you're welcome Jamel.
My favorite from the boys. Check it out my brother
ABSOLUTELY!
Yes please!! Just a jam session and they accidentally hit record, I swear.
One of my favorite bands of all time!
You’ve got to do their song Mexican Blackbird.
It's manic mechanic ,,,I'm drunk and kidding
