I would like to request If Motörhead Wrote Learn To Fly. I can’t really imagine that the melody would change that much, but I’m certain it would sound amazing.

I guess this will get lost in the sea of compliments, but I really appreciate the vision and creativity and work it took to produce this. It's a fantastic album.

[@Kevin-lh1zz]

now that I’m in my 50’s my music tastes are changing.. blues, rock, southern rock and old country have taken the lead over metal and thrash - this was really lots of fun to listen to, thanks for all the hard work and sharing your kick ass skills

[@radagastaddams3703]

growing up, next door to us, there was a full recording studio jammed in a little Sussex bungalow. the soundproofing wasn't good & u heard all sorts of weird music & drumming sessions most of the night. one night I heard someone playing guitar along with La Grange. I was hooked on ZZ TOP from that point. midnight blues coming through the wall

[@collinvickers2345]

One second into the first guitar lick and I already knew: I'm gonna love this.

[@johncalverley8972]

I'm a lifelong ZZ Top fan and a drummer for more than 30 years... I think Frank Beard is underrated!! Who played the drums for this?? They did a great job of capturing Frank's style!! 👏👏👏

[@jasonw6688]

I agree!! Everything in your comment, totally agree.

[@ThatSockmonkey]

ZZ Top are massively underrated, every album is full of great songs, and their "hits" are completely unrepresentative of their range. And you don't get any of that without a rock solid drummer.

[@walterraasch6722]

You're right!! I'm drummmmming for 50 years and Frank Beard belongs to the finest rrrrrock-drummers of all time.

[@captainclyde5082]

Drums are likely programmed.

[@arthurblackhistoric]

Words cannot truly express my enjoyment of this video. As a lifelong fan of ZZ Top . . and I confess not that much of a Metallica fan, but there are a few songs of theirs that I do love heaps . . I always unconsciously put my own stamp on everything I perform live at my gigs as a covers act playing Blues-Rock classics with backing tracks providing bass and drums etc while I play live lead and rhythm guitar and sing in my gravelly voice. I've been told that I sound like a one-man ZZ Top. I've had the whole Marshall JMP-1 thing happening for the past 25 years, and was really happy to read somewhere that Billy Gibbons had taken to using it in his live and studio rigs as well. And of course I gotta compliment you on your vocals. You have both Billy and Dusty's vocals down pat. No mean feat!! You really do have that authentic ZZ Top sound, right to the last squealer. I just liked and subscribed so I can find your material again. Thank you so much for providing this for free on KZbin. There have been other tribute albums dedicated to both Metallica and ZZ Top over the years, like Sharp Dressed Men for example, but nothing that made my hair stand up straight like this album does.

[@scottbubb2946]

Can really appreciate all the time, effort and love put into this. Simply incredible. You absolutely NAILED it. Love, love, love it!
