Dusty Hill put his life into this 🔥 Little Old Band from Texas

[@dieselyeti]

Legendary because he's been in the same band for 50 years?

[@nicholasgarnett-ly9nw]

Word. And Billy will go down in history as at least one of the finest Les Paul guitarists ever in terms of zz tops type of music too I reckon. ✌️🇭🇲

[@foylebutler8952]

i saw them live from the front row . he played with his eyes closed most of the time.

[@dieselyeti]

If you've been doing it for 50 plus years I'd think it would be effortless.

[@Winterstick549]

He said his first influence was Ginger Baker of Cream, who has a similar relaxed style.

[@guidodiman]

Love how relaxed the drummer is, too cool!

[@michaeljohnson7276]

Wow! Top shelf slide and rythem guitar mr Gibbons! That goldtop is just screaming, crying and moaning the blues under your command! , and u make it look so easy . Nobody even comes close to that kind of mojo on guitar! You are one of the all time greats , and as a guitar player myself this is one of favorite top tunes! Dusty and frank (God rest his soul), are one of the tightest rythem sections ever! Nobody out tops the top! Love you guys, keep rockin gents! God bless!

[@mustangpatty51]

One of the greatest band to ever play rock and roll.

[@joseluiscuffia2094]

EXCELLENT SOLO like a really master of the slide great job Billy!!

[@guitardood1844]

I remember this year they were on tour with brooks and dun in Charlotte NC. Brooks and dun were the headliners and came out on stage and announced there was no way under gods green earth that they had any right to headline a show with zztop then proceed to open up for them instead of head line the night. I'm proud to say I got to see them receive the respect they deserve.

[@williamdevaughn1671]

Guitar Dood man that's one hellavu story! Now those guys are the damned epitome of class! I've always been a huge B.n D. Fan I'm certain that the Lil Ole band from Texas was very humbled by that. Man I love that story

[@mikeseaquest9246]

Same thing in Vancouver bc. And they blew b&d off the stage

[@nailskarnayna]

That's the coolest thing I have heard in a long time G. Dood, I can't say I know very much about Brooks and dun but they just gained my respect - something Zz have had since the very day I was born

Guitar Dood that’s good to hear because they deserve that respect, great story!

[@draganm7823]

@@mikeseaquest9246 doubt that. Its a different kind of music so its a matter of taste. I like both bands and I've seen B&D more than once. Most to ever win duo of the year. Won every year between 1992 and 2006 except for 2000.

as a lifelong fan of zzt .i finally saw them live 2013. although they were a little rusty and slow to start.(considering 45 or so years going) once they hit their groove, nothing or no one could come close to the pure energy and finesse.

[@jefftennant]

These guys are pure troupers, innovative blues rock magicians - this video caught a slight, rare miscue, which they covered brilliantly - at :52 Dusty comes in to cue Billy's "Just Got Paid" famous riff, but Billy doesn't come in - notice at :59 after he's in, he turns to Billy and says "My bad..." Then they're off to the races to just kill another classic Top wonder. As for Frank "being asleep" as someone said in this thread, notice Frank looks up when he needs to, otherwise, he's in his own Blues Rock ZZone and nailing it. Long live these amazing Texans!

There was a Mexican restaurant in Houston, call Leo's Mexican restaurant. It was on Shepherd drive. If you went in the back there was a whole section where you can eat, with nothing but ZZ top pictures and memorabilia. If you open one of their album covers if you still have an album cover you will see a picture and a spread of Mexican food I think that came from Leo's. I ate there, it was some damn good Mexican food too.

expert and regional guitar tunings range from B or C# toF,a common tired string piedmont blues tuning I found with a blues friend in Georgia some years ago,mrCalloway,ZZTOP are incredible to put it all into mostly standard 440 tuning,and their gear and sound never better and their light touch and feel even better.Chartreuse and Heatache In Blue on new album La Futura and title cut Over You phenomenal yet radio national won't touch it with a ten foot pole,no wonder MrDusty said in a radio interview houmoursly the same songs on the new Album as last when their live stage seems to be the only place to hear new Top anthems.Chris Young(as Johnny Winters bass player John Paris once told me,"you must be a fan")
