ZZ TOP- Blue Jean Blues- REACTION VIDEO

[@Itelkner]

Billy's earned his Noble prize for that guitar solo.

[@saturnracer156]

That has always been one of my favorite ZZ Top tunes., yet hardly anyone ever mentions it. That was some serious stank face you had goin. Respect!

[@craigburner1296]

This came out when I was 14, it was the first album I ever bought with my own money. It remains to this day, one of the best I own.

[@everardusbogardus3167]

Billy Gibbons. Damn. That man can put some feeling into his notes! Cool fact is that he had a guitar made from the floorboards of Muddy Waters’s plantation shack.

[@glendawright4682]

Man they actually sound that good live. Saw them in Nashville TN about 74 75 it was fabulous.

[@geokaragiannis]

Reverand Billy... Blues guitarist extraordinaire....

[@Itelkner]

Wow! Is he ever!

[@johngay422]

My favorite ZZ Top tune hands down

[@kathys6402]

"Stanky funky blues" Perfect! Billy just does not get the respect he deserves for his guitar playing...not saying he is better than SRV but damn he can play the blues. Thanks sweetie... hope you are doing well ....stay safe....

[@jonathansparks7558]

Kathy H he sure gives Eric Clapton a run for his money

[@sixslinger9951]

I'll guarantee SRV was influenced by Billy.

[@StevenEverett7]

Whoa! I must have missed this one. Some really great blues. When you see the ZZ you can't go wrong. Cheers, Steve

[@marielaveau5321]

One of my absolute favorites!! Glad you liked it too. 😊✌️ Edited to add: I took my blues guitar playing son to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale MS on his 15th birthday and we got to see the famous Muddywood guitar. Billy Gibbons had it made from wood taken from the house where Muddy Waters was born. It was a friggin awesome day. 😊✌️♥️

[@danw2276]

Heard that live many years ago and we were blown away with the raw emotion that solo brings. Saddest guitar i ever heard.

[@happilyeggs4627]

One of the prettiest blues songs. Sweet and sad.

[@johndsvidson5322]

Texas blues. You know, like SRV or those two brothers Edgar and Johnnie Winter. To name just a few

[@johndsvidson5322]

Come to think on it, a little girl named Janice Joplin is from Dow that way too

[@lucretiadewberry9378]

The Winter Brothers are from Beaumont, Janis is from Port Arthur, about 20 miles apart.

[@TheBlaster54]

I’ve had this song on my playlist for over twenty-five years and I still love listening to it.

[@curtisgunnarson1768]

Stay with 1970’s ZZ Top, it’s their best work. No 80’s synthesizers just awesome power trio Blues/Rock

[@davecortese9774]

Curtis Gunnarson absolutely like all music he hasn’t heard much ZZ Top he doesn’t realize how much they have this is just a drop in the bucket Degüello was there last great album after that commercial

[@Itelkner]

@Dave Cortese El Loco's pretty great, too. Eliminator's where they finally did the full technology/commercial bit.

[@edwardmunson3896]

DSE: It doesn't matter if anyone understands what you are saying............because you hit that right in the heart. Awesome man. I'm older than dirt....just an old Southern white dude........raised on THE BLUES. I keep hoping for a resurgence of the REAL Blues......funk and all......but the youngsters who are trying save it today have some talent.....but no stank. I'll go to my grave hanging on to Ms. Etta James, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and yes, SRV and Double Trouble, and Z.Z. Top........damn "BROWN SUGAR"......what a song. Always will have the memories.......for what time I have left. D.......keep posting your stuff.

[@secondhandlyon2603]

Back in the late 60's Billy Gibbons was with a band called the moving sidewalks. Jimi Hendrix called Billy his favorite guitar player.

[@血まみれの赤ちゃん]

The Blues just warm the soul

[@garykelly7422]

Funky blues for sure, I've been waiting for this ☮️

[@jonathansparks7558]

Billy just wanna make ya throw down and cry 😭. True blues artists

[@jjowen2012]

Obviously I love this song! :) Who else can sing about blue jeans and make it "stanky funky" blues? Thanks for the reaction - I enjoy your facial expressions!

[@charlottebailey1024]

Mmm. And they took their time about it too. Soooooo nice

[@jimmytatum9255]

The best Blues by ZZ TOP

[@brently2009]

Music's origins of power, the BLUES.

[@sixslinger9951]

what makes this so great as far as guitar playing goes is Billy's use of dynamics. From soft to loud attack back to soft, using double stops and blistering runs...it just builds and builds..without the dynamics, it would be just another blues song instead of a legendary blues song! If you need a master class on a perfect blues guitar, look no further than this recording.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

My favorite ZZ Top song, without a doubt. One of the songs that made me pick up a Les Paul 40 years ago... still playing daily because of Billy Gibbons.

[@timgibbons4724]

One of the best, period.

[@timgibbons4724]

One badass song and one badass reaction. Thank you Drama.

[@j.c.a2872]

3:50 priceless reaction; try "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings" from the same album

[@billhiggins1882]

Memphis blues for sure. Beil street

[@jefff3886]

3:51 LOL! Definitely a song that will make your eyes roll back in your head. Yeah, it's that good.

[@carolclements1275]

Us Texans love our ZZ Top

[@827dusty]

Same album "The Mexican Blackbird." More gold.

[@mamabear310]

This is my and my husband's song. 25 years strong !

[@CRAllen083A]

Same here but for 45 years. Best of luck

[@kcpl8er]

It's the soul of Texas blues

[@guitarman0551]

Love ZZ Top. I'm old enough that I remember when their first album was released. On a different note; I'm REALLY looking forward to when you react to Steely Dan's 2nd album, Countdown to Ecstasy.

[@paulclarke4305]

Its a pleasure watching your reactions DramaSydETV, and coming from someone who clearly knows his music. Keep em coming !

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

What Up DS, All time Classic, yes, ROUGH BOY goes down a similar path.

[@craiglee8574]

Just finished both sides on 33 vinyl.......good God help us..

[@josephloehr9617]

Now you know why he's called Reverend Willie G. PREACHIN' the Blues!

[@4Jeffomatic]

Please allow me to suggest their song "My Head's In Mississippi"...

[@area5272]

That song is so damn good you can taste it

[@TheBladepolisher]

@ 3:50 my brutha, it almost seems like your heads about to pop from a blues overload . . . . . . had me a roarin' with laughter. Ive been trying to get other reaction people to do this song for the longest time, and you did it ! ! As a self taught guitarist, I made this song required learning because if you could learn this song note for note your mastery of the blues is almost guaranteed. This song has to be one of my top 3 blues guitar songs. Might I suggest Johnny Winter's "You keep saying your leaving". This is another of my top 3 blues guitar songs . . . . . again, required learning ! ! Yeah, you can betch yo ass on this one here ! ! Thanks my man. A thumbs up and a scribe for ya ! !

[@paysonbenefield7967]

Geez I love the blues!! As I mentioned in a previous comment, more blues please. John Lee Hooker & Bonnie Raitt “In the Mood” is out- f***ing-standing!!

[@davecortese9774]

Ty!!!!

[@genetodd1643]

Long story short, in 1982, stationed in Korea, after getting off restriction by the first sergeant who took all of my personal belongings for a month. This was the first song I played. Ahhhhhhhhh

[@stanrock2225]

Clean Blues.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

I grew up on that album, I like MELLOW DOWN EASY.

[@craiglee8574]

Needed this this evening..

[@rogerscollier7424]

Early ZZ Top is all about the blues mixed in with a little Tex boogie . How funky can it be try “Waitn’ For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago “ ( played together. A sound editor error allowed only about a tenth of a second between the cuts. Greatest error in recording history but it worked out perfectly). For some more funky blues by ZZ Top go with “Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell”.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

It just don't get no better!

[@chrissiler6075]

Stank face in two bars. RECORD LOL

[@sheehy933]

I completely understand what your sayin. As a guitar player and blues lover, hearing this when it first came out changed my world. Filthy, dirty, raspy, and nasty sweetness.

[@vaportrails7943]

There is nothing like good blues.

[@TxCigarPirate]

Stank face says it all man. I live not far from Billy. Awesome individual. Keep going down that ZZ Top rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed. I even remember them under their original name of The Moving Sidewalks.

[@Denzzell120]

Outstanding!

[@chrissiler6075]

This is the feel I get when Freddie King is burning down his 335

[@craiglee8574]

Another burner....TY

[@fried2styles]

Blues is blood, my brother.,

[@richardbaker4068]

Please add to led zep list of must hear, ( I'm Gonna Crawl and All of My Love) Zeppelin just amazing, every song, every album

[@rowenanunn590]

Hypnotic ❣

[@JohnBullard]

Saw 'em do this live in '77.

[@NyMyers64]

Great tune off of Fandango!

[@827dusty]

Jimi Hendrix knew. He yanked a young 21 year old Billy Gibbons out of a Texas Bar one night while "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" was about ready to tour Europe. He asked those young ens called "ZZ Topp to be the opening act. Jimi and Billy hit it off, and that was their big break in 1968 I think. Hendrix was already a star over there when he went in 1967. I love Rock history. Most of these bands are connected in some way.

[@genetodd1643]

There you go.

[@DramaSydETV]

I'm gone.

[@anitamorgan366]

That was wonderful nearly fell asleep I was so into it I love the blues

[@theshovster8505]

You wanna hear some funky blues give ZZ Top’s “waiting on the bus/Jesus just left Chicago” a listen,.. killer!

[@SuperFlyfisher101]

This is down right dirty and discrosding!

[@billhiggins1882]

If you like the blues this is pure beal street blues

[@haagatha]

Couldn't you just listen to that for hours?

[@DramaSydETV]

YES!!!!

[@charlottebailey1024]

Absolutely! 5th time through tonight!😎

[@waynestumbo2408]

How ya like them Texas Blues?

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Roy Buchanan is my favorite guitarist, check out some GOOSE GREASE, COUNTRY BOY, 5 STRING BLUES, I guess he broke a string while recording it, and kept on going, enjoy, we goin' underground now.

[@michellecole6325]

Another great blues group you might wanna check if you have time is Downchild Blues Band.

[@Bible4thelazy]

Dude your hilarious, subbed

[@chrissiler6075]

This is the music when your day was shit at work and you don't want to take it home

[@craigwiggins253]

AS has been mentioned 70's ZZ Top is the best, the 80's was nothing but going for the hook to sell albums. Nothing wrong with that. Once in a while they would throw out with these albums some old time feel, damn drawing a blank something like My Head is in Mississippi. I'm sure others will correct the name for me unless I remember all of a sudden. LOL. Peace

[@davecortese9774]

Craig Wiggins absolutely right all the 70s stuff is real ZZ Top there’s so much Degüello was the last of the good shit

[@stevegee218]

Be sure to check out one of the Live versions of Blue Jean Blues

[@craiglee8574]

Hurry back,,,,, loving you

[@ezo4]

I haven't heard this song in about 30 years or so. Brown sugar is next one first album first song ZZtop

[@eddiehaskell1957]

Are you sure Brown Sugar is first. I think it's Neighbor Neighbor. But you may be right. I have my albums in the closet while I building and album only rack. I've been buying albums since early 70's. I live in the past, and I ain't coming back!

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

I Love You Dude, Your expressions are priceless, lol, just found you, but I really liked what you said about ZZ Top on your La Grange video, I grew up on Fandango Dude, whole album is great.

[@skydog6376]

Dats some juicy blues ✌️

[@TheApeman01]

You got some major stank face goin on there at some of those riffs!

[@willynelson9595]

How how have mercy

[@juiceheadtodd]

Respect

[@mattharvey968]

Stank face blues!!!!!🤘🏻

[@dwain437]

Sure got cold after the rain fell is nice also ...

[@realbser1956]

Damn!!

[@DLT100]

can't beat a bit of slow blues bro, can tell ya feeling' it : )

[@russelllewis4371]

Tush by ZZ Top is a great song too.

[@davidsanders81]

If you haven't done it. "The ballad of Curtis Loew" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Think you'd love it too if you love the blues. Great reaction as always.

[@bigbb70]

Check out " a fool for your stockings" as funky as the blues can get

[@jebaker6942]

Johnny Carson asked Jimmie Hendrix who his favorite guitar player is, he said Billy Gibbons without a doubt.

[@rogerscollier7424]

Je Baker It was Dick Cavatt not Johnny. That interview is on KZbin. But never mind. Jimi definitely knew what he talking about

[@chrissiler6075]

Live it's even better and I don't know how

[@VIDSTORAGE]

NASTY DOGS and Funky Kings is one you have to HEAR

[@reallybadaim118]

Everyone who listens to them first time gets that stank face. That's a good thing.

[@parallelearthstudio8385]

Smoooth!!!

[@mattharvey968]

LED ZEPPELIN... Tea for One... bluesy and I know the stank face will come out!!🤘🏻

[@TieFighterPilot]

Try Led Zeppelin "Since I've been loving you"

[@christopherbaldwin2005]

I heard that Jimi Hendrix once commented that he wished he could play like Billy Gibbons. True??

[@josepharnita2748]
