ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons Says Dusty Hill's Estate Sale Not Endorsed by Band | TMZ

[@daviddebruhl2086]

I like how Billy Gibbons handles himself, just stops what he was doing to answer a long winded personal question with patience and grace. Think about how long Billy and Dusty knew each other and all that they experienced together over 60 years +/-. Now imagine a stranger coming up to you with a camera and asking about your oldest brothers estate issues and an investor flip of his house and personal belongings. Billy didn't care about the stuff in the house, he just thought it was tacky to cash in Dusty's stuff and act like it sanctioned by the band. They say never meet your heroes or you will be disappointed. I would love to bump into Rev. Gibbons ask him about Lightnin Hopkins or Johnny Winter or Millon other things after thanking him for his service to mankind. I have seen ZZ Top 5 times and the last show with Elwood was one of the best, gonna see again in September.

You cannot answer a question in truth until you have heard it, thunk about it & formulated an honest response.

[@Olivierbatteris]

You right

[@elliottmayer-yeager8087]

My absolute favorite guitarist ever. Everything I want in a guitar tone.

[@DalScottGuitar]

Seen em when i was 15. First live band. No one til this day has topped them.

[@criah563]

Saw them when I was 13 and again when I was 35. Best shows I've ever seen.

[@nevergiveup582]

Living in Italy there was a very lttle opportunity to see them, unfortunately. Only Motorhead like them in my opinion

[@craigrheberling]

first time i saw them was '74 -hollywood palladium. they were 2nd on the bill, amps broke down mid-show- and they still got 2 encores! i was playing bass at the time, and i seriously felt like selling it, and trying something else! no one else EVER made me feel that way. i saw them 3 times after that- but that first night was MAGIC!

[@jamesspalten5977]

I would imagine back in the early days they were the best. The early music was the best.

[@cherylb2008]

Billy speaks well and always shows class

[@cheribee968]

Billy gibbons is such a class act. Always has the grace to speak honestly and without saying anything demeaning.❤

[@sebrofc]

He's such a neat guy I am such a fan of the music and his personality, just seems so chill.

[@whoevertf]

But aint that just all us Texans? :u

[@BradleyVolk3]

Never knew he even died! Wtf?! Zz Top is way too underrated! RIP Dusty! Legend...

Long live Elwood Francis 🎸🇨🇱

[@cfjcryptoforjoe6393]

I really like this guy and his music. He's great. Ironically, I feel super bad for him that he ripped off Linden Hudson, the guy who helped him write Eliminator - which vaulted their fame. They are both good guys who should eventually come together and f' the money. Linden introduced the whole drum machine thing (which I personally ain't a fan of) and was irretrievably responsible for their success. He eventually got some small credit (after suing) for the album. Peace homies. Hope y'all work it out..

[@jamesspalten5977]

This is very similar to the story of Chuck Wepner. Chuck was fighting Ali and Stallone got the inspiration to write Rocky. After Stallone had made it with Rocky, Wepner asked him for money. Stallone didn't want to pay him. I think eventually he did. I can't remember if Wepner sued him or not. You can look it up online.

God bless billy gibbons. It must have been so depressing for him at the time

[@paulpischke7446]

I love. Zz top there so genuine

[@benwright6330]

So what if they try to make a few bucks off some bits and bobs that were left behind in the house they now rightfully own? They knew the house was being sold, if they wanted it they could've and would have just taken that stuff with them in the first place. What were the new owners supposed to do with it, throw it away? Keep it? Give it to poor Billy Gibbons? If Billy really cared that much he could've just had one of his people go in there incognito and buy it all up for what would amount to nothing to someone who's got millions of dollars, but in reality he probably realizes he has more than enough of his own junk to last him a life time, so who cares if some left behind odds and ends go to a few devout fans who love zztop enough to actually take the time to go out there and pay way too much for what? A couple a bar stools and a walking stick? Jeez

[@mr.brenman2132]

What did you buy?

[@benwright6330]

@mr.brenman2132 ..oh nothin' just some worthless miscellaneous generic run of the mill stuff people usually leave behind when they move out, a cheesey electric Bass with a bunch of fantasy fur glued to it and a model T Ford, ..hotrod, ..red, .. a fake Santa Claus beard, a Fedora, and a pair of Cheap Sunglasses 🔥🎅

Saw ZZTop years ago the Tour where they had Live Stock on stage, it was fucking Awesome! RIP Dusty

[@jamesspalten5977]

Yep!! They had there own cow!! It might have been a Longhorn.

[@DH-tj6tf]

@@jamesspalten5977 The show I saw Longhorn Steer, a Buzzard on a Perch, a Rattlesnake, and a Long horned Goat, the backdrop a Texas desert sunset with Cactus, they were traveling with a full Semi livestock trailer, when these 3 guys came on stage in their Sparkling Cowboy outfits, they just Rocked the Place, of the concerts I've seen they are definitely in the top 3❗😎

A real gentleman!!!

[@robertleslie2467]

My favorite guitar player tied with Keith Richards. Love Billy, Dusty, and Frank from back in the early 70’s Austin Tx in the 9th grade Crockett HS. I’m 65 and 5’9” 150 pounds and take no meds for anything. Even at Billy’s age I don’t reckon I could keep up with him. He’s gotta be super wombat healthy! Vegetarian last I heard. Me I’m a pescatarian but my soul is more soothed by a really good cheeseburger a few times a year. On another note…..if Jesus was a Texan he’d probably look and sound like Billy. Only better.

[@jameslanclos568]

I was wondering about all of Dusty's stuff being auctioned off at Julien's, which seems like everything he's collected his whole 50 year career, if not longer. It just seems like someone wants to cash their poker chips in an awful hurry. God Rest His Soul.

[@Joe-Dirt579]

The good Reverend is a saint.

[@Pinkpalmpuff332]

Dusty Hill had not even been buried when Billy Gibbons took Elwood out on the road within 48 hrs. after Dusty's passing. Gibbons showed his true colors; what's most important is he 'gottsta get paid' - after 50 fucking years together on stage, that's what Dusty gets as a farewell! The Foo Fighters completely shut down their tour when drummer Taylor Hawkins died. The next tour they're doing is entirely a memorial farewell tour for Taylor. THAT'S a band to be proud of. I will never think of Billy Gibbons the same again and nor do I have any desire to go see The Billy Gibbons Band. RIP ZZ Top

[@pumpkinking5174]

It's called performance contracts.....

[@HB-yk4ut]

They do not want to let fans down. Saw them last night and they were the bomb.

[@abc-bu7nr]

You don't think Dusty Billy Frank all talked about this? I'm assuming you hate AC/DC

[@rabarebra]

You guys are clueless. It was Dusty Hill who told Gibbons to let Elwood (Dusty's tech) take over from him and get out on tour. Jeez, learn your ZZ Top history, boys.

[@carriecole1025]

His property Should go to MR. GIBBONS!!!

[@DD-lc9jv]

Yep Dusty is dead and Elwood has taken over and come pay to see it.
