It's a really good album, man, every single song!!

Damn good album. Still listening, for 2 years. Spanish Fly is classic. Can't wait for the follow-up album!

I got nothing,

wot a nice old man - who is he? is he, like, that other one - the one who did stuff with u2? they seem similar, innit

I was a tourist in Santa Fe in 1983 looking at the Art and for the first time I experienced the Desert. The car overheated on the drive there and having had to stop, I experienced my first Mirage, surreal. So I kinda know what the artist Billy Gibbons is talking about.

The talk about that Mexican restaurant is making me hungry right now. She's on Fire is favorite track, it's a masterpiece.

First of all I am blown away by this album Hardware. After listening to the entire composition, the last track Into the Desert, takes me back in a totally different way to Jim Morrison and his poetry. Very Western however, loved it. Great work Billy Gibbons.

Ahh..yes... To be a fly on the wall in that studio

Good Album Billy

Billy needs to give a call to Jeff Mcerlain. Now that would be some good shit.

Fabulous.

Hi Billy! This CD Hardware is very good. You are a very great guitarist and Singer. I find You have a very great voice. I love Your music

Thank you Billy for ZZ Top. Dusty Rest In Peace brotha. I still have your Key chain hanging on the cigarette lighter of my tuxedo black 1964 Corvette coup. And I’m still a sharp dressed man.

Billy is a merchant of cool .

Billy G. & I sat on the tailgate of my pickup truck at Albert King's retirement party at a "Black" nightclub in West Memphis, AR. on a pea gravel parking lot, a year or so before Albert passed. I tried to get him to go in and jam with Albert & Joe Walsh, who was also there, but because of his management contract at that time, Billy could not jam with them. Hard to believe I know but all absolutely true! We just sat on my tailgate and listened and talked. I had met Billy several times at Ardent Studios in Memphis, and Joe was working at KIVA Studios in Memphis at that time too. I had written 9 songs for Albert and he recorded all of them. 3 have been released on an album called "Red House." and there in lies the connection of why I was there. It was indeed a great night for me as I found B. Gibbons to be a great guy, easy to talk to and very much just like the rest of us musicians. I remember him picking up my black telecaster at Ardent on night and saying, "This MF plays man." He asked what is it? I told him Tom Keckler had built it out of a 67 Tele body, a 52 Esquire neck and two baby humbuckers double wound. So BG said, "Man that's a FIBSON." It's been my FIBSON ever since. I treasure that guitar and the memory as well. God Bless You Billy Gibbons and YES Joe Hardy was a special man indeed and he made every session he worked liven up and loosen up as he controlled the room with his amazing recording ability and quick wit. An extremely funny man with a huge heart. RIP. Joe Hardy and God Bless his wife Trish! RIP Dusty and God Bless you as well Mr. Gibbons and my old "FIBSON" is singing hello to ya...

The text was totally unreadable. There needs to be contrast with the background.

I first heard ZZ Top , I guess I was 12 Year's Old." Tres Hombres" I have just been performing Live In Buena Park California.I added some of their Classics " Tush " etc.. I then read that the Bass Player

Popping in with Jimmy Johnson was epic . . .

When he talks about “the desert” I’m reminded of that great Stu Hamm & Eric Johnson song “Lone Star” which Stu wrote after driving through the Texas desert.

Now Dusty is gone.

Loved the song from Tejas, "alone in the desert", very unique instrumental.

Great interview! Also, nice t-shirt, Adam!! 😜

i hope y dont mind if i try to come up with notes that are in the places you might put them..not always but i just get a charge from hangin late on bent thirds n stuff like that..

I thought you retired Pearl

BFG looks exactly like eight years ago. He does not age. He even wears the same cap.

Not my taste that recent mainstream rock album, i hoped he would put out some stuff going back to the roots, sound of the first two ZZTop albums or earlier, make an album with just that Melody Maker and a Champ, or a Lightnin Hopkins tribute, pure, minimalist, no processing...

Lost respect for him when he kicked Benton Blount off his tour.

The record is great!!

Hell yeah guys this was informative and good to watch! Congrats on the re-release Mike!

Billy your a legend. Still got it big time. You inspire so many of us musicians. Such an icon and unique guitarist. Excellent songwriter to.

The One that Possesses the Cap of Swagger, the Shades of Cool, & the Beard of Tone, is Never Wrong!!!😎

El Sájara! Keep recording music, you talented man. Good stuff!

You rock 🪨🎸Billy! Keep up the great work 💪👷👍👏👌🙌💪

It's all surf.

Produced by Matt Scrotum!

I heard Tyler Bryant actually did sound engineering on the Larkin Poe song. It’s typical of his Larkin Poe recordings. He’s Rebecca Lovell’s husband and plays lead guitar in Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown.

Cream SWLABR- She walks like a bearded rainbow. The rainbow has a beard.

I guess no more ZZtop. THIS LIKE THIRD ABLUM NOT ZZtop. No real bass player! Lefty upside down backwards guitar player. Just left the other guys behind. Very happy for him but will probably never buy any of his solo album. For as long in recording his story sounds kinda hard to believe. Things being that hard to do. But seems to love to tell stories now. Way more then with ZZ. I guess now he is the center of attention. Then talks about Texas yet this was done in California desert... I guess no deserts in Texas. So more like Califorxas or Texafornia rock. More power to him and his bandmates. Miss that ZZ Top.

Billy's vocals sound great. Still sounds like the ZZ Top iconic voice guy. And, the music is same as usual=The best.

Billy is a great music man and a gentleman. I ran into him in Houston and he was soooooooo nice!

I love this record. Been rockin' it all week here in Cali.

Reminds me on the creation of the Last Rival Sons-album

Christopher Thorn from Blind Melons studio. Nice....and Larkin Poe are amazing. The Reverend knows his stuff

There are men, and there are Magical Men. Mr Gibbons is in the top drawer.

She’s on Fire , lightin my fuse and grabbing my gears. Hardware is CaliTexMex with some ZZTop echoes.

Thank you.

Keep this cattle drive moving baby! 🐂🐂🐃🐂🐃🐃🐃🐂🐃🐂🐂🐂🐃
