In the late 90s my wife and I went to a ZZ Top concert in Saint Louis . With every ticket sold , they gave use a pair of one or two dollar swapmeet shades . It was an outside concert , and there were 52,000 people in the crowd . We saw ZZ Top , and Lynyrd Skynyrd . A concert to remember , for damn sure .

My first and only pair of really nice sunglasses was a $160 pair of Costa Del Mar. I managed to keep them in good shape and where I could find them for eight years - I honestly impressed myself. Then one January I wore them into the snows of Mount Hood in Oregon, and they liked it there and stayed. Somebody probably got themselves a nice pair of free shades after the spring thaw, LOL.

Absolutely, and his groove, feel and dynamics are impeccable. He seems to be rather underrated, except maybe by other guitar players. I don't usually see him on lists of guitar greats, but in my opinion he belongs at least on every top 20 list. He also puts the lie to the assertion that you need thicker gauge strings to get good tone. Thanks to Billy I switched to 8s, and if I hadn't I probably wouldn't be able to play anymore because of physical issues.

70's era ZZ Top inhabits the funky space between John Lee Hooker and Lynyrd Skynyrd. "Cheap Sunglasses" defined a street attitude towards fashion that still resonates today. It's like hangover medicine for the howl in "Tush", the slide guitar that drives "Just Got Paid", or the break in "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" when it catches you off guard. ZZ Top's cover of the Sam & Dave classic "I Thank You" is another classic, hard and gritty with one of the meanest guitar tones ever recorded. And "Heard It on the X" tells the story of listening to rock-n-roll, blues, and other "forbidden" music during the segregated 50's on border radio stations broadcast out of Mexico at 50,000+ watts so that their signals reached well over a hundred miles across the border...
@CANDOKNOWHOW 2 жыл бұрын
“Heard it On The X” is my all time favorite ZZ jam.. love the riffs and really love the history knowing it’s the solid truth from back when my older siblings were hanging with Leon Russell and The Street People, as people could pick up that station for miles around. The late great Bobby Keyes, who was the killer sax player for The Stones and Keith’s party pal has talked about it too, as well as Steve Miller and Janis Joplin.

Deguello was the 6th album that ZZ Top did came out in November 1979. "Cheap Sunglasses" was on this album. This is also the album that Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill first showed up with their Long Beards. They have 4 gold albums, 3 platinum, 2 multiple platinum and 1 Diamond album. In which case "Eliminator" is the Diamond Album in 1983. They have 15 albums released in all. RIP Dusty Hill born in Dallas TX. 19 May 1949 to 28 July 2021. Thank You Asia and BJ for the reaction video.

Definitely my favorite band of all time! I've seen them in concert 3 times. The first time was in 83, their Eliminator tour, Jeff Healey opened for them. Absolutely the best concert i was ever blessed enough to witness! I wish I had had more opportunities to see them, both ZZ-TOP and Jeff Healey. Life is way too short. Side note, I buy sunglasses at the dollar store now too, because they have decent sunglasses, and I always break or lose them no matter how much I've paid for them.
