ZZ TOP - SHARP DRESSED MAN | REACTION

[@kenwelch198]

My son got married two days ago. I had this song playing when we pulled into the parking lot with the groom and best man! Lol

[@elbruces]

Any time you dress up you gotta play this song!

[@AtomicBear18]

I wish my family was supportive of me when I got married. Thank you so much for showing your son love on his special day. That’s something I would have loved and you may not know how much that meant to him but I’m sure it meant the world. God bless ❤️

[@anndailey7321]

"That car" is none other than the Eliminator!! i went to see that awesome car at a huge car show "Back in the day" in Greensboro, NC Coliseum. As good as it looks in the videos, it was sooooo beautiful "in person" Of course, I am a car girl, and a car like that would always capture my attention. If I had that kind of $$$$$, I would own that one or a duplicate of it. And BTW ZZTOP is some GREAT MUSIC!!! I enjoy your reactions to the music that people suggest. It is a great show!!!

ZZ Top are one of America's greatest treasures. The albums they put out in the 80s are as great as those they put out in the 70s, in fact 'Eliminator' is an awesome album regardless of era it was released in. The follow up album 'Afterburner' was another great ZZ Top album. And those videos they put out in the 80s were some of the best videos of the golden era of MTV.

[@SoIoCreep]

ZZ Top "Sleeping Bag" and "Rough Boy" are also good.

[@waynestumbo2408]

Stages too

[@TheOriginalHeisenberg]

Every track off "Afterburner" is smokin hot.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

I was so glad to be able to see ZZ Top in concert a couple years ago. They are such skilled entertainers, old school. The show was simple, just 3 guys on stage. That's all they needed, no flash, no smoke, no fire. Just 3 dudes with so much style and class. All those moves you see them doing in the videos they do them on stage. The flashiest part of the show were the matching rhinestone jackets they were wearing.

[@ToddSauve]

I remember like YESTERDAY when "Eliminator" came out and I picked up the album. It was about 1980 and the ZZ Top guitar sound just blew us all away. We'd already been listening to them for a decade or so but we really loved this album! That was 40 years ago! EEK! Where have the years gone! I'm 61 now! But that guitar of the Reverend Billy Gibbons still smokes like it ALWAYS did! Ouch!

[@KK-ex5zu]

The 3 songs and videos off of the ZZ Top "Eliminator" album @Jamel_AKA_Jamal is like a trilogy! It's starts with "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Legs", and "Sharp Dressed Man"! They made a fourth video titled "TV Dinners" off the same album but that video was completely different not in sync with the first 3 videos. Thanks again for the REACTION, like I've said before I'm a big ZZ Top fan and I can honestly say you get what ZZ Top is all about!

[@RraMakutsi]

Loving the ZZ Top reactions... I know you're getting lots of suggestions, but "Just Got Paid" is one of my faves, and a true Rock n' Blues classic!

[@PristineTX]

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons has had a long life in music. Born and raised in a musical family just outside of Houston, TX, he started down the road of becoming a pro musician in the late 1950s at only seven years old, and by 14 had already studied percussion under Tito Puente and had gotten into electric guitar. He was heavily influenced by black music, especially the electric blues players and boogie bands of the time, before eventually being influenced by the more psychedelic blues/rock of Texas bands like the 13th Floor Elevators in 1960s, which is how he eventually met and toured with Jimi Hendrix. He and his bandmates in ZZ Top never forgot their blues/boogie roots though, and the responsibility to always entertain the audience. That's where the sense of humor and fun comes in, along with the little coordinated dance moves they incorporated in their live shows and videos. Those elements were a nod to those that came before them from the blues/boogie to Motown and beyond.

[@michaelloveland1330]

Many calls for "Just Got Paid", "Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago" (you MUST do those two together, there's a law about that!) and now you hit their big hit. My buddy Eric Steckel led off his last album ("Polyphonic Prayer") with "Just Got Paid" (has a new one ready to drop any day now). But definitely the two tunes - like toast & butter!

[@michaelloveland1330]

The Ghostly Gurus. The Fairy Godfathers. The Blessings from Beyond! The men, the myth - ZZ Top. And our boy wasn't askin' for much, just take him downtown.

[@freebirdtony]

"Heard It On The X" is a must listen to tune by ZZ Top. I hope that you check it out.👍

[@michaelloveland1330]

The X was XERB, Mexican radio. Noted on a previous reaction that when I went camping as a kid in the early 1960's we could get the signal (500,000 watts from 40 feet inside the Mexican border to evade power limits) we'd get Wolfman Jack spinnin' the disks on AM radio. Full of static, faded in and out, best damned music from outside the "record industry". Early pirate radio! If you heard it on the X, you heard what real music was goin' down and were an early insider.

[@freebirdtony]

@@michaelloveland1330 That is so cool Michael, I understand that The X was heard as far as the Florida gulf coast in the late evenings.

[@shaitanlavey]

Not sure if anyone else has asked for it, but you really gotta check out ZZ TOP - JUST GOT PAID. This was a staple in my house growing up in the 1970's, coming from a blue collar family. From their second album, Rio Grande Mud, way back in 1972. Still as rough and relevant today as it was then.

ZZ Top practices or used to practice in the warehouses at the end of my neighborhood. My dad used to be a cop, and he used to get called over there in the middle of the night to investigate noise complaints. He'd wander in and find ZZ Top jamming at like 3am. I met Billy Gibbons at the Men's Warehouse one day when I was getting a suit for my buddy's wedding. Bizarrely, he said he didn't have a suit, and he needed one to go on some talk show (I think he said Conan O'Brien?) the next night. Super chill dude. He hung out and chatted with us while we were all waiting for the MW employees to figure the suits out.
