They also did Jackson Browne “Stay” without “The Load Out” intro. If I’m not mistaken I think the same thing happened when they did Journey “Anytime” without “Feeling That Way”. I feel like this is really the fault of people requesting songs from them. I’m gonna make a commitment to try to bring that to people’s attention when they request songs, and have decided to start skipping songs that are forever married but get split up in the react. I think people requesting don’t remember it’s a 2 part song and just request the part they like, never stressing the other side of what really makes up the ONE song, being the TWO together. It’s just too frustrating for me, cause even if they love it, I just end up feeling like “yeah, well.. if you liked that, then..”

@centuryrox 2 жыл бұрын

@@CANDOKNOWHOW Agreed. It's really frustrating because in addition to it being difficult to get them to react to a particular song, it's also their first time hearing it and you can never repeat a first time experience.

@rray848 2 жыл бұрын

As the story goes... ZZ Top wrote this song and "Waitin' for the Bus" close together. When the engineer was splicing the songs together on tape for the final album he accidentally cut too much tape out and the songs segued right from Waitin' for the Bus into Jesus Just Left Chicago with no space between. It sounded so good they left it that way and it has become synonymous to have them played together.

Muddy water turned to wine is a reference to the father of Chicago Blues known as Muddy Waters. Billy Gibbons visited Waters original house and picked up a piece of wood that was part of the house and made it into a guitar named Muddywood.

Did you know Jimmy Hendrix cited Billy Gibbons as the best guitarist of all time? The two were close friends. From what I understand, ZZ Top got its start when it was invited to play at a rock and roll concert in Hawaii, and they went dressed in their fully Texan outfits, which got them booed, but they won the audience over when they started playing.
