THE ENEMY: ZZ Top - Interview and behind the scenes

[@wayno2333]

First big gig I went to was these guys , wasn't a fan and only went cause my then squeeze got free tickets ... walked out totally mentally drained and a major Billy fan . That dude has tone for days

[@svgitana2499]

That happened to me with Eric Clapton 😅👍🏻

[@stevieray1507]

I first Saw them back in '72 at the Madison County Coliseum in Alabama when they were just another southern circuit band! They absolutely blew me away! I had never heard anything like them and I LOVED the way they rocked and boogied! Back then they didn't wear flashy outfits, just plain shirts with blue jeans! Their stage setup was simple with a freakin' WALL of Rio Grande amps behind them! I have seen them numerous times since then and they NEVER disappoint me! I Love that "little 'ol band from Texas" !!!

[@hylianmarc4745]

That's a really sad way of looking at things. First off, it's a massive disservice to Billy, like his skills were just handed to him rather than something he worked hard for and really committed himself to. Second, if you're fortunate to be reincarnated, I hope you don't spend your time being envious of others rather than believing in yourself.

[@allguitar7603]

Thank you Renee.4 real

[@gfd215]

Billy Gibbons very sympathic man

[@keithleeuwen877]

I'm not from around here I don't know what's going on ? This looks really neat though, wow !

[@shawnfloyd6542]

[@birdmanbl]

amazing axe hes got there Billy Gibbons model from Gibson? wow!!

[@0013619511]

Wow Billy what is that axe you are plying can i get my hands on one Top

[@brockolsen3689]

That's the BGSG (Billy Gibbons Ultimate SG), one of his signature series Gibson. The headstock is based on a Flying V (though not a true V headstock). There's not much too custom about it except for the looks, it's basically a standard SG, but much much cooler. They're supposed to be on sale to the public but I've never seen one, they're also completely hand made so I'd imagine they're pretty expensive.

[@bogthing1]

The Houston guy gets his own room, but the Dallas guys got to share one?

[@tedkay_music]

Toni Moon when were you born,I think that matters with ZZ Top,as you may have missed the cool era of being born heeeeee

[@davidledford6482]

[@RShea-lp9wk]

David Ledford: I simply can't believe your good fortune. I'd love to see them. Haven't yet. Take care,man.

[@antoninbelvisi7305]

[@123spleege]

Great vid.....you know it is time to commit to boycotting ANY product advertised proceeding or during videos on KZbin. You might be looking at something that is sensitive or means something and be blasted with some haphazardly placed pathetic crap product typically making consumers look like complete morons. Don’t buy these worthless products.

[@G1951-w1y]

They opened for Ten Years After in San Antonio back in '71-'72. Stole the show. Before the flashy costumes & beards. Billy just had on a leather jacket & Pearlie Gates slung low. Played slide with a bottle of Lone Star beer & the mike stand. Totally upstaged Alvin Lee.

[@leonardkrasner5811]

Saw them open for Deep Purple in Atlanta in 73, same thing happened.!

[@angusseletto1511]

Not the most ideal climate for a Texan,even though he's super Cool

[@MrKnutriis]

Jettebra

[@dannybolman7739]

I don't know, I just like Pearlie better.

[@angusseletto1511]

Danny Bolman I'm sorry, you made me sad

[@barbarasalisbury4023]

Hope I'm not the enemy,believe Rock should all ways be anti war,Jimi Hendrix lost his life to standing firm behind songs like " Ain't Afraid To Suffer" or Machine Gun,never support war and mongerism like the fallen Ted Nugent or the never been much of anything memorable,Kiss.Chris Young

[@andreasweiffen5907]
