I Know I Have A lot more to do, but this is what I’ve done so far👍🏾kzfaq.info/sun/PLAY_hpVvjQqBMk8vzOCPIXNLG7u-AiEKC

Jamal - watching you listen to this for the first time so joyfully is a true delight. We are ZZ Top's publicists and just shared this with the band. They will be thrilled to know that you so appreciate their "stank."

That’s that biscuits and gravy with a side of grits blues

This is the song that introduced Cadillac as a verb: "Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus till I Cadillac"

Jamal, your reactions are priceless. It's so good to see someone younger enjoying the same music we "boomers" grew up on. ZZTop, that little ol' band from Texas.

Yes, 1970’s ZZ Top is their best work. Stay in this lane, so many awesome songs

When Waitin' ends and breaks into Jesus... possibly one of the greatest moments in rock music ever. Still gives me chills after 40 years. Billy's tone on both of these songs is second to none.

In an interview Jimmie Hendrix was asked “ How does it feel to be a guitar god?” His answer “ I don’t know ask Billy Gibbons”.

That funky soulful blues from deep in Billy's soul flowed effortlessly across his guitar strings. Damn fine southern music.

You might not see him in person, but he'll see you just the same, word!

"taking care of business is his name"...pure gold...

I'm not saying, "Turn it up" anymore when ZZ comes on the radio, I'm saying, "Crank the stank!"

My favorite ZZ Top song ever! My brother turned me on to this and took me to my first ZZ concert. I was 15 now 60. It was Badass!

Never ceases to amaze that 3 dudes can make that kind of sound and music! Nothing like these guys! ZZ Top......badass to da bone!

They were booked to a blues festival in Memphis early Their career , promoter didn’t know they were white ..crowd and old blues acts were slightly stunned by their appearance but once they kicked into gear , they were quickly lauded and embraced and that’s what started their Texas to Memphis connection

I don't know when these guys got old but they have been the coolest old guys my whole life.

The joke in Houston in the 80s was that this was the unofficial theme song for the Houston Transit Authority.

I just love the way Jamel appreciates great music. His reactions are honest and it gives me hope that maybe others in the younger generation will not let the music from our past die. I want to see him do some early 60's Motown songs...the 4 tops, the Supremes, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, etc. When I was a kid in the 60's, I loved all great music and did not care about the skin color of who was making it. I am in my 60's now and still feel the same way.

I still get goosebumps when ZZ shifts from Waiting on the Bus Into Jesus just left Chicago. Have Mercy! That's Powerful Stuff! Can I get another Have Mercy!

When I was a teen I bought the Tres Hombres album for La Grange, but this is my favorite track on the album.

"You might not see him in person But he'll see you just the same You might not see him in person But he'll see you just the same Yeah, yeah You don't have to worry 'cause takin' care of business is his name!"

Oh my yes, the real ZZ Top. This was parking lot concerts at its best

LAWD........That was some JAMMMMMMM. I forgot how much ZZ freakin Jams DEEP.

The guitarist here, Billy Gibbons was in a band that was at one time the opening act for Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix called him the most promising new guitarist of the time. That's some decent creds.

Utterly CLASSIC ZZ Top! These guys nail it! "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is incredible and I hope everyone can see them perform it live someday, because it will bring down the house, including YOUR house!

Heard It On the X...Essential ZZ Top!

"I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" "Pearl Necklace"

I Was seventeen when I bought this album and am still rocking out to it to this day and I am hitting seventy in a few days . Love it , keep on rocking in a positive manner .

"I got my brown paper bag and my take-home pay"

Been a long time since I listen to that thank you. Try Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers or heard it on the X.

"Too much 'Stank' in one sitting..." That should be a T-shirt...

Love you brother! Love your reactions to this set! As a rocker for all my life, I find incredible joy in watching you dig a ZZ Top’s two’fer. Keep it up my friend!

Yeah Brother, I first heard this in early/mid 70s it melted my face too!! Billy Dusty and Frank wrote the book on tight nasty down and dirty funky BLUES

Kid: Turns on this video Dad: Turn off that crap video Kid: Why tho?! Dad: I have bigger better speakers in the garage!

"These guys are so deep in the pocket it would take mining equipment to get them out!!"

my morning was just draggin into a humdrum day, and then I took a coffee break, found you enjoying this so supremely, and voila! Attitude is back up! Thanks!

The bass is the heartbeat and the guitar is the blood flow.

This is the 1-2 punch to start their 1973 master album Tres Hombres. Next up Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. La Grange is also on this album.

"Jesus Just Left Chicago" is the definition of Texas blues. Thank you for the review; I love your channel.

I'm 64 now. But I'm also still a 6'4" 300 pound Finn. I was 18- 19 seeing ZZ, Aerosmith and Foreigner in 3 Rivers Stadium. Saw Stevie Ray in the 80's in Arizona and I can't call it.Both are gods.

It's great to see the reactions he gives!! Makes me remember hearing it for the 1st time, even if that was over 40 years ago!!

To this day, it's still one of the all time best segues. Going from ridin on the bus, to Jesus just leaving Chicago.

Just Got Paid is another great one from ZZ Top

Jimmy Hendrix said " best guitarist he's ever heard"

I will never tire of the music and watching you!

Best ZZ Top song ever and I'm an Atheist lol.

You're gonna love A Fool For Your Stockings.

Jamel your reaction when the harmonica kicks in at around 1:50 is priceless! You never miss any of the amazing things in music! "How they gonna expect my face to last!" Nothing slides by you. Shows you're a true fan of music, a really good listener. Like many of us. Much love! Stay cool!

I have loved their music ever since the 70’s and are twice as good live!

Dusty Hill and Frank Beard are the best locked-in, in the "pocket" rhythm section in rock and roll.

“You don’t have to worry cuz takin’ care of business is His name.”

no words to describe the joy you show listening to some of ZZ top's finest. I am nodding along with you.....

"Too much stank in one setting!" Awww, man I needed that good laugh, Jamel. Thank you, sir, for bringin' the funky blues with this one.

Oh that was instant Stank Face! That harmonica, oooo-eeee! And you need some Muddy Waters in your life, baby! And maybe a little George Thorogood too, best smile in rock n roll! OH LAWD, I KNOW! Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind Live at Montreux 1975, you will LOVE this, it's another StankFaceMaximus

Can’t beat ZZ! Especially the early music like this. Same time frame as Little Feat. Another one of my favorites from back in the day!

that "little ole band from Texas", took me 48yrs to see them live and man they are still rocking it !!!!

what fun that was! i could feel you through the video! I appreciate you.

2 cool tracks from "Tres Hombres", great album!

"Ain't No Denying Da Stank!" . . . needs to be on a shirt

Watching Jamels reactions puts a huge smile on my face!

Jamal your reaction is EXACTLY what it should be. You , my brother, get it. And it's sooo gratifying to see. Peace man

"I'll be ridin' on the bus till I Cadillac"

We told you! Waiting/Jesus is one of my all time favorites.

Saw them in March of 1991, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The Black Crows opened for them but we missed most their set due to the traffic jam getting into the arena. My ears were ringing for 3 days after the concert, from a 3 man band. It was worth it though...such a powerful, funky, bluesy...beardy band!

Saw them in the 70's live, 3 guys and a world of sound. Great review, you got it man.

It's been my experience that it is the rare hip-hop fan who is as into blues and funk as Jamal is. Props to him. Lots of rap and hop fans are ignorant of the progression of music because they think if it's old it's dumb. And that just ain't so. I can give you a musical history progression that'll get you from Buddy Holly to Kanye West, with stops by Johnny Cash and Sex Pistols in addition to the people you expect [Chuck Berry, Isaac Hayes, etc.]. And watching Jamal explore that progression one song at a time is an awful lot of fun.

How about some Robin Trower? I highly recommend Day of the Eagle, Too Rolling Stoned, Bridge of Sighs, The Fool and Me, or A Little Bit of Sympathy. You will not regret it.

I've watched your reaction to these several times. It's a delight to see. Never gets old...

Blown away the first time I heard this song as a 14 year old in 1975; still listening to ZZ Top often al of these years later. What an amazing threesome. Saw them 10 times live- never an extra musician. Both Billy and Dusty had those great blues voices, and Billy is an acknowledged all time great guitarist (he was buddies with Hendrix,, who called him the best guitarist!)

"Hold on one second... how am I supposed to make my face to last? There's too much stink in one setting..." Ha ha. Perfect! :]

Yes! Going old school ZZ Top!

Those two songs will be with you forever...Tingly, heebie, jeeebies up the spine when it comes on.

These guys are the most humble stars I've ever had the pleasure of working with when their shows came into town. Just amazing people who really care and are hilarious back stage!.

Wish I could thumbs this up multiple times...

“Took a jog thru Mississippi, well muddy water turned to wine” - best lyric in rock, such a good turn of phrase. Muddy Waters was a major influence on the band, and this ties in so perfectly. So good.

Loved those 3 guys from Texas for years!!!

One if the best bands ever .. saw them live, the crowd went completely wild. (all oldies) Their music goes right through you

“Tube snake boogie” and “just got paid” to complete the set

That lyric "You might not see him in person but he'll see you just the same. .You don't have to worry 'cause takin' care of business is his name'. Must be be about JC.

This is PURE Texas FUNK! "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is an amazing song! You are expected to have smoked a few bong hits before you get to the chorus of the song! It hits like a hammer! ZZ Top are one of the best bands capable of doing this! GOD - You should see them performing this on stage! There is NOTHING like this, anywhere!

They call them "That Little Ol' Band From Texas" for a reason, man! They are steeped in rockin' blues. I can only think of two three-piece bands with that much of a powerful sound, and they are ZZ Top and Rush. Both bands have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, by the way.

"Bride of Sighs"- Robin Trower - You must hear it!

Netflix has a documentary about ZZ Top if you've not watched it you need to bro! ZZ Top was the first concert I ever saw. And my father's, RIP, favorite band.

You should have seen them LIVE back in 70's when they played onstage with livestock and snakes and a windmill! They were so f'ing tight! Just the 3 of them!

Have gone down a rabbit hole of reaction videos recently and when it comes to music, I enjoy yours the most. The reactions seem so genuine and you tell that you can truly feel the emotions coming through in the songs. Keep killin it.

“Ain’t no denyin’ the stank”!😂.. OMG Jamal, thank you for just making my night with your most awesome reaction to my favorite ZZ Top tracks!❤️ Love you, and keep ‘em comin’!!

"Takin care of business is his name" Always love rock/blues/gospel

Beautiful. Dope dope dope dope. Love this video! Thank you for bringing us there with you! 😊

This still gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it.

I love this time period ZZ Top.

This is by far my favorite of all of your reaction videos. I think that I've watched it 4 times over the past few months. I really love how much you appreciate good music, your positivity, and how open you are to listening to new (to you) stuff. May good things continue to come your way.

Your genuine love of music is a trip to behold. You listen the way a musician wants to be listened to, and you get it. Thank you, brother.

"There is too much stank in one setting" Says all that needs to be said...

Early ZZ Top so funky.....when I first heard them I was blown away. I was so sure that the lead vocalist was black . Bought the album saw the cover ... wait a minute where the black guy??? Billy Gibbons has so much soul in his voice and of course one of best guitar players to ever been born. Listen to the only cover that I know of “ I Thank You” the Sam and Dave hit. Soulful and with a little bit Texas blues added for flavor. So smooth.....

This I feel is my FAVORITE REACTION , there are alot of good reactions , but I feel this one to remember. KEEP GOING BROTHER 😎👍

Driving on the bus All Day ZZ top, thank you sir for demonstrating the passion and watching the emotion come out of another human being I was hitting that base string just like you were thank you man thank you I grew up with this and I love the blues but seeing another human being enjoy it as much as I do awesome 😎

Watching your reactions is always worth listening to the song. Never stop!

The best part? In concert, they sound exactly like that. I've seen Metallica, REM, Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffet, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels and others live, and they were good, but ZZ Top was the best concert I've ever been to. Definitely the best seats I ever had. My buddy and I swapped our nosebleeds and cash for 13th row center. They played a bunch of songs off the album they were touring to support (Recycler), but then got into a greatest hits / greatest B-side blues fest. Amidst the standing, cheering, swaying floor crowd, Rob and I looked at each other like "what are we doing?," and 5 seconds later there we were, sitting down, feet kicked up, just getting soaked in unfiltered ZZ Top blues greatness.

I have watched this countless times. This is your best reaction IMO. Classic!

You are so much fun! And I think the world needs a little bit of fun right about now! So...Thank you!
