You're right, us bikers, male and female, love ZZ Top.

Billy plays rhythm guitar and overdubbed the slide guitar on this song. If you check out ZZ Top live in concert from Germany 1980 on YT you'll see him playing rhythm and slide-fills at the same time on this song. It's peak Billy. The tone is KILLER.

You guys really should do “I’m bad, I’m nationwide”. Killer guitar groove and shuffle.

Ty…. You are correct! Bikers love them some ZZ Top!

True story. I went to a bar in Pasadena Tx back in the day. The bar was " He's Not Here" on Red Bluff. I thought the jukebox was a little loud, turned around and these guys were jamming out. I sat there for 2 hrs with 8 other people buying then beers.

Amazing what they did with 2 guitars and drums. RIP Dusty.

Thats right.......thats why we're here, best little ole band from TEXAS,,,the original TRES HOMBRES...Gentleman Dusty Hill.... see y'all on the other side mistah....and LET IT RIDE!!!!

I saw them, when la grange came out. They were wearing white suits, matching stensons, and clean shaven!

R.I.P. Dusty..Thanks For All You Gave Us 🙏 ❤

The "hang out with them" vibe speaks to a big piece of ZZ Top's appeal: swagger. This Texas blues trio oozes swagger and cool. "Cheap Sunglasses" "Sharp Dressed Man" "Legs"--so many to choose from. All with that filthy guitar tone and irresistible groove.

The GOATS of the 70’s…if y’all watched live performances, you’d see how the magic is done.

Dusty Hill is legendary ... groove boogie master.

When we lived in Houston me and my husband were walking in the Galleria Mall and a young girl came up to him and asked if he was Dusty Hill. At the time he didn't know who Dusty Hill was, but I did. It was a moment I'll never forget, and sadly my ex passed away just a few months ago.

🦋 Absolutley a banger of a song. Right after getting paid 😉🙌😏while driving On The Highway...The Perfect Song! ZZ Top have so many Amazing songs. Great Reaction Guys! ☺ Sharp Dressed Man, Tush, Legs, La Grange, & Gimmie All Your Lovin' Are Some Of The Best, And I Think You All Will Enjoy!

Was just listening to this. 👍

Love this ZZ TOP song. One of my favorites.

Saw them live three times. They were always a straight up party ! AMAZING band .

ZZ TOP "BLUE JEAN BLUES" & "LA GRANGE"

ZZ TOP couldn't get a gig outside of Texas in the early years.They finally got a spot in a Blues show at The Overton Park shell in Memphis Tn. They were the last bands to play and came on around midnite. Instant hit .. Memphis Ardent studio recorded the first 2-3 Albums.You could sometimes catch Billy Gibbons eating at Molly Gonzalez and he would gladly have a beer with you.

awesome reaction brothers

You are absolutely correct that bikers do like ZZ Top. When I was 15 I was at a Long Lake Resort for the 4th of July with my best friends family. We weren't sure what was happening at first, but all day on the 3rd Hells Angels we coming in all day long and taking all the cabins and camp sites. We were in a permanent cabin for her family. Then as we were told to stay away, we didn't and we found out ZZ Top and The Little River Band were going to play on the beach on the 4th. They were apparently just practicing for a tour. The tavern had a polka band for the old folks. At the time drinking age in Minnesota was 18 and my friend and I were able to get stamped and paid $5 all the beer we wanted. The music was amazing, such a fun time. But there were ssoooo many bikers there. Scary and fun at the same time.

Billy is a 'BIKER'. He would not use the TOUR BUS he rode his bike from city to city. He is true to his lyrics...he's BAD...NATION WIDE

The first time I saw ZZ Top (maybe 1970), tickets cost $2. A year later, they were $4, and another year on, $7. After that, they were out of my price range. RIP, Dusty.

Nice. I recommend this a lot for reactors looking for ZZ Top to react to but nobody ever takes the recommendations. One of their better deep cuts IMO. Billy Gibbons guitar work on this is stellar.

This is a great song! It is Southern Rock (you might get dogged for saying Square Dance). But they are a great band. Good Choice! 38 Special is also a great band in this genre.

My Head's in Mississippi

Saw these guys in 1977 at the Blaisdell Arena while stationed in Hawaii with the U.S.Army.

If you want to do a tribute to Dusty Hill, do Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers or Tush. Not only is he playing the bass, he is also does the vocals on those tunes

Aressted For Driving While Blind is a must 💪

Texas has an old tradition of certain bars considered "roadhouses." In the middle of nowhere and very rowdy. This is "Roadhouse " music.

ZZ Top put the Power in Power Trio!

You guys have great reaction videos! Love ZZ Top. One of my favorite bands. If you want to check out some more southern style rock try Molly Hatchet. 'Dreams I'll Never See' and 'Flirtin with Disaster' are awesome songs. They have a lot of tempo changes and multiple guitar solos.

Hey guys, 1st time seeing one of your reactions. I wondered for many years how Billy Gibbons did those guitar parts, and found out a little while back that he does what is known as hybrid picking where you your plucking a lower string with a pick and then plucking higher strings with your finger tips. But NOBODY does it like Billy! Check this out, Billy and Dusty have always sported the beards, but the drummer Frank BEARD doesn’t have one! You can’t make this stuff up! Later guys. 🎸 😎

i saw them 6 times in the 80s in Louisville

And this is their second album. No time to mess around, even their first album was fire. Billy Gibbon, always a top five guitarist.

Thanks for a great reaction to my fav. ZZ song!! I bet you'll like "Legs"!

Guys they did a lot of double tracking on the studio versions of the songs....thats why you hear 2 guitars.

Yes he’s playing both guitar parts. They were recorded on separate tracks, then overlapped. Common method of track recording.

Great reaction guys!

You guys should have done the song ....Tush .... Dusty sings on it. ZZ Top - Tush Live From Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004 - KZfaq

Check out Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers or Thug to fully appreciate Dusty Hill

RIP Dusty

You guys know your stuff....try” My Head’s in Mississippi”, another underrated one.

Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings off of Fandango!

Baddest band on the planet. Fans of 70s Aerosmith would probably get into 70s ZZ Top. Not a bad song on any of ZZ Top's first 6 or 7 albums. And those were b4 their biggest hits, of the 80s. I am also a big fan of their 90s and beyond releases.

It used to be possible to walk into a bar and hear ZZTop. You'd probably have to try awful hard to find a bar like that now.

Joe Bonamassa does an excellent cover of this song!

I agree that song is 🔥

"That's the point of the bandana", "I guess Ty is just an expert on bikers now", "l've seen a lot of movies with bikers", "Wild Hogs"... 🤣🤣🤣 Originally bikers back in day (70's) wore bandanas over our long hair to make it easier to slip a helmet on. We just never took it off. 🤠

Gibbons still has the pink Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix gave him while he was opening for Jimi in 1968. Hendrix said Billy Gibbons was his favorite guitar player, though he said that Rory Gallagher of Taste was the best.

There's some great bass runs in this song.

Check out Waitin For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago from Tres Hombres. Also try Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell which is from this album

Its a studio album. they over-dub. Gibbons lays down a rhythm track, and then over-dubs the slide part on top, on another track - then they are mixed in production. This is imo, ZZ Top's tour de force cut of all time. It was such a ground-breaking recording, in its time. Hendrix was a huge fan of Gibbons' playing. They opened for the the Stones in Hawaii before anyone knew who they were, they came out on the stage in their Hats & boots & and all the hippies were like waaaa ? Then they burnt the joint down. :) Masters of syncopation, always with a great drive, innovative, soulful, never boring.

ZZ Top Blue Jean blues......... !!!!!!!!!

They didn't grow the long beards untilt he late 70's, Dusty always had a shorter one, btu Billy had many looks before that, clean shaven included.

Multi Tracks ...

I GOTSTA GET PAID !!! 😎😎😎

Try out MASTER OF SPARKS.

Gibbons is also the highest paid guitarist of all time.

It's layered.. The guitar is.. It's called Overdubbing.. You record, play back, and then record over that part.. You can do that as many times as you like, and you can record on the left, the right and the center at different takes to make a single mix. That's what you're hearing here.. Sorry, had to explain that. I'm a guitarists and have been for 45 years plus.

My favorite Dusty Hill song is Tush

Sit in the back of the Eliminator!!

peruvian flake, a bottle of whiskey, a hot ass female in the backseat of a camaro was a fabulous saturday night when ZZTop was in the tape deck......at floyds fork park when it was a hangout for deviants :}~

Ok squirts when this was played in the ole bars of the early 80’s fights would break out stabbings would happened, all the ones I knew. Little whisky and some ass kickin music then it would start. Nowadays everyone just gets droppings from this ole stuff

1) This song WAS a hit. 2) Gibbons dubbed guitar rhythm and lead in the studio.

Layered and overdubbed

Check out ZZ Top Gots To Get Paid.

!!Its called overdubbing,,,,,,,ya know kinda a recording thing!!

Slide guitar over a rhythm track. Jesse Pinkman on the left...
