Their success continued all the way through the 1980s and 1990s, with albums such as Eliminator and Afterburner racking up phenomenal records sales. After signing to London Records, they began pumping out hit after hit, quickly gaining a reputation for their bawdy lyrics, distorted guitar sounds, and humorous videos. They first joined forces (albeit with a slightly different line up) in 1969, with their debut single, Salt Lick, coming out that same year. Hailed by fans and critics alike as being some of the finest roots musicians around, ZZ Top has managed to bridge the divide between commercial success and critical acclaim to spectacular effect. My old band Grin opened for them a bit in the early seventies, and they were all memorable nights.The collective of vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons, bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard has been showing what three men with a passion for rhythm (and a fine line in beards) can do for over 50 years. It has a great driving-train groove, and BillyвЂ™s harmonics and funky lead still makes me smile. Paul Jackson (Blackberry Smoke): вЂњ Just Got Back From BabyвЂ™s, because itвЂ™s just straight-up nasty blues done to perfection.вЂќ Legs FramptonвЂ™s Camel opened for them then, and they were an instant new fave.' Just Got Back From Baby's Peter Frampton: вЂњI have many ZZ Top favourites, but Jesus Just Left Chicago from Tres Hombres reminds me of when I first saw them play.

ItвЂ™s hard to imagine Billy Gibbons as anything other than a legend now, but you can really hear the fire in him as a young guitar player making their first record here, and you also can hear the echoes of everything else thatвЂ™s going on at the time, from Free to Freddie King.' Jesus Just Left Chicago Paul Sayer (The Temperance Movement): вЂњI love (Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree, off ZZ TopвЂ™s First Album. As usual, the guitar tone is absolutely perfect, and is there anything cooler than that little stutter lick before the verses? I donвЂ™t think so.' (Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree Today IвЂ™ll say itвЂ™s IвЂ™m Bad, IвЂ™m Nationwide. And IвЂ™m pretty sure the solo is slide guitar through a wah-wah.вЂќ I'm Bad, I'm NationwideД¬harlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke): вЂњIt is nearly impossible to pick a favourite ZZ Top song. I love the trade-off vocals, the proto- Hot For Teacher rhythm guitar lick and twangy chromatic line. Paul Gilbert: вЂњI played Heard It On The X in my cover band when I was fourteen and it was a highlight of our set. In fact Billy came out to one of the shows in Houston and we all traded together. вЂњFast-forward to the first of many G3 tours that Joe Satriani would invite me to be a part of, and there I was night after night playing La Grange as one of our end-of-show jam songs, trading solos with Joe and Steve Vai. And if you can somehow nail those insane artificial pick harmonics that Billy pulled off so expertly, it was a sort of rite of passage in our little home-town guitar circle. My friends and I used to jam on it all the time. The feel, and that tone! Just so unmistakable. 'Even more so, of course, was BillyвЂ™s finesse on the guitar. I remember loving it the first time I heard it вЂ“ that slick shuffle feel, signature drum fill and the quirky vocal approach all caught my attention. It was one of those songs like Free Bird, where the DJ never apologised for the extended outro guitar solo. John Petrucci: вЂњGrowing up, IвЂ™d hear La Grange all the time played on the local rock radio station. Only they could do it like that.' La Grange Tyler Bryant: вЂњ I Gotsta Get Paid, because it showcases how BFG and the boys take the best from the past and keep it so incredibly fresh.
