Todd is one of the most underrated talents from the last 30 years.
Agreed! Todd is a tremendous talent. A force to be reckoned with!
Couldn't agree more. Got to see him recently, but was floored that he was the opening act instead of the headliner. Worked out for me though since I like to go to bed early ;-)
Is it me or is todds voice getting better as time passes? Amazing cover. what a great tribute to the late Dusty Hill. Rip bro.
i was just thinking the same thing
Aging like the finest of wines.
I never thought that anyone could cover a classic ZZ Top tune like "Cheap Sunglasses" but Todd and His Monsters just KILLED it! Dusty is smiling from above...
Todd absolutely NAILS the vocals and the spirit of the original. Another damn good cover by BHTM!
Todd Park Mohr has the greatest voice in rock n roll!! LOVE THIS BAND!!!!
The Monsters are a killer band. BHT always delivers.
Todds vocals and guitar work keeps getting better and better. Came a long ways since the late 80s
crushed it. Is there ever a cover song the guys can't nail??!!
To honor the recent passing of Charlie Watts, I would love it if BHTM would do a cover of Gimme Shelter with Hazel Miller singing Merry Clayton's part. I'm sure the band would do a great job
Oohhh, brilliant idea!
Bravo!!!! Great tribute to Dusty!
What a great version. BHTM have always done great cover versions.
Cheap pink sunglasses …
🙌🙌🙌
♥️♥️♥️
A fine tribute. ♥ RIP Dusty.
BHT, always a great time!!
Better and Better,can’t wait for the next one.
BHT has always been a favorite of mine. They are the real deal. They don't act like they got the "big head". Their records pale in comparison to the live shows. Thanks for sharing y'all. ✌️😎
Totally True! I don't think that I've EVER heard a band whose Live versions consistently out perform their Studio versions of the same number. Always!!!
Love this band. Recently discovered them and Todd rocks it every time!
That Nasty Base Line is sooo Dusty Hill...A huge addition to this fantastic cover of a song that very few attempt to try. Todd and The monsters tear it up and do "That Little Ole' Band From Texas (Tejas)" very proud.
Saw them at the Springfield IL blues and BBQ fest. 1st time I've heard them play this song and it was awsome.
Awesome. Thanks guys. RIP Dusty.
WOW! 😳 Very nice... "Oh YEAH!"😎💤
YES!!!
The changes are great and that is what is called a rendition or even an extraordinary rendition. As opposed to merely covering the song.
Nice tribute.
The DustBuster would be proud!
I love this band!!!!
Great drumming as always and > hi- hat living up to its name here!
great vocals Todd! Luv u
Awesome job boys! I saw you in June at Red Rocks and saw ZZ Top last week at Fiddlers. Nice tribute to Dusty, Billy and Frank! Sweet job on the Bo Didldey, Todd!!
Yall SMOKIN!
THANKS SO MUCH GOD BLESS
What a bunch of bad asses!
Not even the biggest ZZ Top fan but this is great...well done gentlemen
Love you guys. My husband and I saw you at Memphis State University when we first met. We have been together for 26 years now and your music journey has been with us all the while. We've seen you at several venues. Some meet and greets. You never disappoint. Its our anniversary and you are a part of it.
Love it!
Badass.
Awesome!!! Can't wait for Redrocks next summer!!!
Todd has that guitar sound dialed in! Just the right amount of compression to bring it in and the perfect reverb and echo to give it some breath! Great sound. I wonder if this was pedal driven or on the head. Sounds so natural I don't think it was done post or on the board. To me it sounds like he mic'd the cab and maybe cleaned it up a little in post. Great Job!!!
Hello de France ! 🇨🇵 Excellent 👍🎤🎶
Nice Hamer Todd! Bo Diddley style. All the best from SSI, GA...
Awesome 😎
This is absolute perfection 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Lovely, Todd, just lovely.
To the guitar heads out there like me, yes Todd is playing the riff "wrong" compared to how Billy plays it, but it's not wrong, it's different. The notes are the same, the feel is the same, there is just the original way it's played and the way he plays it. Music and covers shouldn't always be about playing it exactly, but about interpretations. Some of the best songs started off as other riffs learned "wrong" and then became something else and unique to itself!
@@quantumbuddhist Yup. Billy drops the high E down to D to play the triads in 1st position and then hybrid picks the F-G with the open D, Bb-C with the open G. That's the "right" way according to how Billy wrote it, but different interpretations, like you said give you different timbres and can sound cool too.
I remember reading interviews with Nuno Bemnttencourt where he kinds laments the internet a bit because it's so easy now to learn riffs/songs the "right"way as opposed to how he and many in his generation learned sitting in front of turntables or cassette decks, training their ear, and more often than not learning it "wrong". But that learning it "wrong" though getting the notes right, setting them off into developing their own style that they might not have developed if they learned the song note for not perfect. It's an interesting argument/point to consider that I can somewhat agree with.
What he said^
Thats facts, BHTM is the cover king too!
Very fine!
Todd does Billy Gibbons proud here!!
Thanks for that
Badass lookin’ guitar
smooth vocal !
❤️
Me and my brother have seen multiple shows. Have all the albums. Great bond for us, we play in a garage band and cover lots of todd. Though I'm very not todd 😬
Edit: he's no Brian 😲
One of the best covers I've ever heard, nice work fellas ! First show was around '95 at The Vogue, great music, look forward to seeing you boys again !
found these guys only a year ago on the tube ! love the jam in the band
Hello from TX
Hello from Canada
Keep that DRUMMER ! ♫
Best band in the world!!!!!!!
Awesome always loved this band
Wish y'all could come to Atlanta!
Nice tribute! Thank you! Dusty grew up in my neighborhood. You should see the talk in our community FB group. Everyone is so sad. Thanks for doing this.
😊💜👍
I want that Antone's T!
Great tribute!
Rocked it guys! Nice tribute to Dusty Hill!
Nailed it!
After hearing this already new one of your major influences was zztop without asking you I can hear it in your music. Billy gibbons some big shoes to fill but you definitely are a bad ass todd
I really liked his tone in I'll play for the blues for you
Cigar box! :)
RIP DUSTY!
Great band - greetings from OZ - hope you get down under sometime soon.
I remember Taylors and Tulagi's 1990 :))
Is it me or does this drummer seem like Keith Moon. Bass is awesome too. All of them
East Coast ? Come on Big !
Fuckin' amazing! Rock on!
I do not know how they do it better than the first time around ...must be Cowboys
Nice version- been trying to figure out what pedal is being used on the Wurly- been trying to get that sound on my Rhodes with different rack effects but that set-up just covered the tone great.
Nice job Mr Mohr. Fuk da haterz
I can relate believe me I tried to play some Zeppelin I'm not anywhere even close to Jimmy Page.
But I have fun that's all that matters
RIP Joe "DUSTY" Hill
Someone, please tell me what brand of Bass Rob is playing? Todd also has a strat style guitar with the same headstock design. He plays it on BHS live at Red Rocks 2009 DVD
Never mind, I found it!
Del Toro PJ-style
Noice....
Is there anything these guys can't do? I'll answer for you. No there isn't
Todd has the Al Gore's Rhythm beat
*plot twists
his sun glasses aren't cheap
how about that drummer?
That guitar is sure square but Todd aint!
Sure miss BHTs best style of music. MIDNIGHT RADIO, the album. Changes.....
Ray Bans? Cheap Sunglasses my ass. Awesome Cover though!
Elon Musk can do it all
