Jimi was impressed. They opened for Jimi once and they played one of his songs. Jimi loved it and I believe even told them they had guts coming out and playing it.
That's from the the Tres Hombres album. Every song on it is great. This is the 3rd track on it. The first two tracks are perfect for leading into this one. You gotta listen to those two , "Waiting for the Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" back to back, as one song. Y'all will love it.
The last track on the first side is my favorite. Master of Sparks is just so cool, especially since it's based on a true story. Having fun out in the country.
Have to put in a plug for "Going down to Mexico. Steady trucking away, what a groove . Perfect road song. Still, nothing tops "Blue Jean Blues". BTW, back in the day, the two most common "cigarette" rolling papers were Zigzag and Top. Not saying anything, just saying.
this is exactly the era of ZZ Top that rocks! Backdoor Love Affair would be a great one for you to check out... Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill shared vocals in this band!
I love it when you react to the Little ole Band from Texas, especially since I'm in a ZZ Top Tribute Band called 3Z Top. From the Little ole Town of Turner, Maine!
I sure remember the eight track days brother I'm I graduated in 1982 from high school I got in the music real early age young young kid listening to Johnny Cash and then you know I went to the all the rock and roll concerts I could brother every time every day ever every time it come to town I was there brother reaching out but I yes yes I keep telling these people you don't don't get me wrong hey you know Eliminator was in my a day all right I love it but if you want to get into the cola Bud get the cola for Eliminator if it's easy top it on the band they got it going on you know they throwing down some good rock on whatever they do but the album with arrested arrested for driving while blind you know that's goes some real good rock and roll on their brother and tell me how many times you ever hear any of those songs? And what's what I'm saying brother it's kick it kick butt kick butt it's not top 20 but I it's kicking butt
I have such I'm sure you remember the group heart and I love I love the heart to see them about three or four times in concert you know what I'm saying. I really like the the woman singing for heart the Wilson sisters Ann and Nancy she sings so son of love alive a lot alive Little Queen Dog & a butterfly dog and a butterfly it's stuff like this that needs to be played not their newest or their most popular the heart of it what they was trying to do to to be mainstream alright when they was hungry hey alright
OOOOOOH FINALLY......Yall dropped some HEAT on this one!!!...HENDRIX personally predicted Billy Gibbons would be one of our best guitarists in the future!....FACTS..and yes 2 voices....Billy and Dusty
I agree with you Lex! One of my favs by them. Way back when this was played at every Keg party we went to...and yeah we were Beer drinkers and hell raisers good times for real sigh..🍻 cheers guy's! 💕
Great reaction. As a 32 year guitar player I’m excited that Lex got a guitar; she has the passion, the ear, and the feel for subtlety. Can’t wait to hear you talk more about and share your experience learning Lex!
I have been fortunate to have seen “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” Live 4 times. I recorded the last show (Full HD) before Dusty passed away. Always an awesome show. You must see many other tunes from them including “Rough Boy” (official video)…. “Same three guys, same three cords, for five decades” - Billy Gibbons at last show.
Oh hell yeah. Thanks so much for choosing this. One of their most bad ass songs. That gut bucket Texas boogie. As a guitar teacher here is my advice. Don't get frustrated and take it easy on yourself. Practice your ass off. Learn some chords and the Blues scales. Start slow and play the scales and licks thousands of times. You can do it!!
I remember bringing in the New Year 1978-79 listening to this very song live in concert at the stroke of midnight! STILL have a noisemaker & a bag of confetti from that night! GREAT TIMES!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁🥳🎶🎉🎶🤘
What an awesome album this was back in ‘73, as it came out in the summer right before heading to college! They played this album at every bar for awhile and was great while playing pool or foosball!
Saw these guys in concert back in the 70s when I was in high school - their stage was a big map of Texas. The arena was sold out; that was the most bikers I have ever seen in one place in my life, and I've seen some bikers. The air was a gray-green haze with left-handed smoke ... cops were patrolling the aisles, and they were frustrated - people were getting high all over the place, but if they were more than one seat in from the aisle, the cops didn't dare try to wade into the crowd to grab them . . . that was a wild show. One of the first concerts I ever saw and one of the best.
LOL Miss Lex I just had to tell you that back in 1983 I was wearing that same snap on jacket and jamming out to ZZ Top. They were the very first concert I ever attended....I'm just laughing at how this brought it all back!! The best part is still being just as close with the girls I hung out with and having them here to laugh with about it!!!
When I was a senior in high school in 1979, we voted this song to be our senior class song! Of course, the stuffy class officers wouldn't allow it so we had to have another vote. This time we voted for Freebird. They still said no and they chose The Long and Winding Road. At graduation when it came time to sing the class song, none of us sang! It was beautiful!
Our 1986 class voted for Stairway To Heaven, and it wasn't allowed because some girls thought it had satanic backwards messages. So we had to settle for Good Times Roll by The Cars.
This is the ZZ Top I grew up with. I received my first moving Violation in an automobile Rockin out to this song! Lol. I was 16 years old. Good times!... And that's the great Billy Gibbons on lead guitar. Lex....He used his 59 Gibson Les Paul Starburst guitar which he named " Pearly Gates on this song and most songs in their first 4 albums..... BTW. That's Billy singing First verse, then Dusty Hill, the bassist sings the second verse and then they alternate.... Billy plays lead, Dusty plays bass, Frank plays drums.... Always! I've seen them close to twenty times in my life. I've met Billy Gibbons... Thrill of a lifetime.....😊
Billy sang the opening verse, then Dusty closes. They harmonize on the chorus. Gibbons absolutely shreds the guitar on this number. This was one red hot tune back in 1973.
The secret to playing the guitar effortlessly like some people can do is to just do the same thing over and over and over and over until your hands will just do it without you having to think about it. You have to develop smart fingers and hands. It's all about repetition. When you've played around enough to find yourself do something that sounds cool, just do that one thing a hundred times. Then when you find a second thing you can do, do that a hundred times. Just keep adding a new thing you can do and keep repeating it over and over until you just do it without thinking about it.
@@neillenet291 Hurricane Ike totally ended any hopes of restoration. Hurricane Ike wiped me out too I lived in San Leon by Dusty Hills place at the time. I've known the song forever but I got the cup from someone in California.
@@kookiemonster3261 yeah that's one of my favorite songs by them, I love the story about them going into the little bar on the Gulf. I think it the first time I heard it was 1977.
What can you say about this thumpin' Rocker. I could write a 50,000-word essay about this song. The dual vocals are criminally bloody awesome. The relentless throbbing Bass drives you and the song all the way to fade out. Frank Beard is one of the finest Blues Drummers in the known Universe, his snappy fill rolls are sublime. The Guitar is dirty and grungy, with Billy's Lead breaks giving light n shade to the music. That is what I call a real Rock song
This song has three, four line verses and a three line chorus that repeats three times. Billy Gibbons begins singing each verse, singing lines one and three while Dusty Hill sings lines two and four. Billy Gibbons sings line one of the chorus, Dusty Hill sings line two, and they both harmonize on line three. Going into the lead after chorus two, "Ah, play it boy" is Dusty Hill. That's the vocal break down. It's not hard to tell who's singing. Their voices are quite different. When you hear "La Grange", that raspy, muddy sounding voice is Billy Gibbons. He sings the entire song. When you hear "Tush", the clear, higher pitched voice is Dusty Hill. He sings the entire song. Their voices worked very well together. "Bear Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is my favorite ZZ Top song, followed closing by "Tush". ZZ Top songs I recommend, "Francine", Heartbreaker", "Mexican Blackbird", "Arrested for Driving While Blind", and "Under Pressure".
I really love watching you both. Lex feels it and Brad is very serious, your reactions brighten my day seriously. It’s so nice when people can have music in common.
Yes! ZZ Top- please react to “Tubesnake Boogie” next- Such a groove AND I’d love see get y’all’s take on the meaning- either way, another great jam of theirs-🤘🏼
@@edwardlionheart2689 I will never forget when I was growing up and listened to ZZ Top constantly, I told my mom I wanted to give my girlfriend a pearl necklace for her birthday (I was around 12 or 13 I believe) lmao. I never understood why she gave me such a weird look until years later, but I recall saying something like "Don't all girls like pearl necklaces?" lol
@Brad & Lex Fandango was my 1st l.p. back in 75 (8 for 1 from Columbia House) However, Billy Gibbons was singing the lead part, and playing the 🎸 Then Dusty was the higher answering lyrics to what Billy was singing. They're both excellent singers in their own right (R.I.P Dusty 😢), but after Fandango they began changing their sound. So many old school fan's thought they sold out with Cheap Sunglasses 😬 Where that was when other's began liking them. The 80's had struck ‼️I did have La Grange and Mississippi Mud tho, and watching Lex's enjoyment which is so much like my own "still" made watching your loving this song a subscriber 🕺🎤🎸🎶 🎼💯
Billy Gibbons on guitar, Dusty hill on bass, and Frank Beard on drums. They create a lot of sound for a trio. Thats all Billy Gibbons on guitar playing both rhythm and lead.
it's a very good chance that the guitar Billy Gibbons is playing on this song is his 1959 Gibson Les Paul called "Pearly Gates."and yes Billy Gibbons the lead guitar player and Dusty Hill the bassist both sing.
@@brucemarshall9521 yeah when you're worth as much as Billy Gibbons you can put a $5 million guitar in a safe, LOL. that's a beautiful guitar for real.
There are some great stories told about ZZ Top. ZZ top despite money and fame always remained grounded and humble. One story is, while driving through West Texas heading home to Houston they pulled over for gas and a snack. Towns in West Texas are few and far in between, while getting gas they noticed an old run-down building with a sign that simply read "Bar". There were about 20 vehicles parked around the building (mostly pickup trucks) so they decide they would have a drink. I can assure you that the guys inside were a pretty rough crowd and since Gibbons and Hill were alone without any security with them it was a bit risky. Upon entering the bar, they noticed everyone turning to see who just came in. They were probably hoping to see a couple of West Texas girls coming in to join them but when they saw who was standing there, they couldn't believe their eyes. I mean what were the chances that two of the most famous Texas Rock Stars would be standing there. The first thing said was Billy Gibbons yell "All drinks are on me, so drink up" These cowboys went nuts. After many drinks, handshakes, hugs, and pictures Gibbons and Hill left to get back on the road home but not before leaving these guys with a memory that they would never forget, Also, a quick note. When Jimi Hendrix was asked live on TV, who he thought was the best guitar player in Rock n Roll his answer was none other than Billy Gibbons. Not a bad endorsement huh!
I remember as a teenager in the late 70s cruise in my 69 gto judge convertible to the badas@ 8track I had. Lol brad glad to hear you say that it takes dedication and so many hours of work. In the 70s we didn't have the resources there is today. If you want to learn to play you need to hang out with people that play it will rub off. Check out zz top.. Blue jean blues to understand his skills.
They found MEGA success with their 1983 release of the “commercialized” Eliminator album…..This song is before that so therefore, like others before “Eliminator”, are total BANGERS !
One guitarist, one bassist, one drummer.

Definitely, Heard it on the X!!!!
If Jimi Hendrix was impressed, Wow! Billy is Da Man.
Jimi was impressed. They opened for Jimi once and they played one of his songs. Jimi loved it and I believe even told them they had guts coming out and playing it.

You really need to do "Waitin' For The Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago" - two songs but they go together. Best one-two punch of an album opener ever
that's what I was going to say
Ditto...
The tone of Billy's guitar is sublime. That's what makes it stand out.

Two singers, tag team vocals. Dusty and Billy.
ZZ Top is the definition of "cool" lol. There's just something about them and how they act. Seen them a few times in concert, great shows.
I had "Tres Hombres" on a green 8-track tape. (I'm old-er) There are two vocalists, Billy Gibbons on lead guitar and Dusty Hill (RIP) on bass.

Been following this band for 30 something years. They definitely get you moving and Billy definitely gets his guitars to sing.
Discovered them in 1973 as a high school freshman. I was hooked for life.
Billy and Dusty trading off on vocals on this one. They also harmonized well together.
Doesn't Dusty sing on Tush???
@@sailor213100 Yep, I think he does.
I think both Billy Gibbons (guitar) and (the late) Dusty Hill (bass) did the vocals for this track...
Yeah. Gibbons is the one with the rougher voice, Hill's is more clean.

ZZ Top has so many great songs. If they had released songs like they do today, they would probably have had 50 top 40 hits.
This song is perfection. This album is perfection.
Oh, I love this period of ZZ Top. Love the Tres Hombres album!
Starting in the 70s I saw them 5 or 6 times. Reverend Willie G was a guitar hero. Dusty... man, that dude could sing!
Best guitar tone there ever was.
Yes! This is ZZTop before MTV. This my favorite hands down.
Now this is classic ZZ TOP. Check out their song BLUE JEAN BLUES. It's a 180 from this song. Slow, mournful blues at it's best.

"ZZ Top - I Need You Tonight" is a MUST.
I used to Play guitar in ZZTOPP cover band. Billy Gibbons is a hard guy to imitate. He adds all kinds of cool bends and pinches.
Heard it on the X is another banger from this era.
Best ZZ Top album by far. 1973. Their 80’s music doesn’t compare!
My favorite ZZ Top song too!
Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill played the guitars and sang, and Frank Beard does the drums. The drummer is also the one w/o the long beard.
Funny thing about ZZ Top: The only guy without a huge beard has Beard as a last name.
What can you say about this thumpin' Rocker.
I could write a 50,000-word essay about this song.
The dual vocals are criminally bloody awesome.
The relentless throbbing Bass drives you and the song all the way to fade out.
Frank Beard is one of the finest Blues Drummers in the known Universe, his snappy fill rolls are sublime.
The Guitar is dirty and grungy, with Billy's Lead breaks giving light n shade to the music.

And just exactly as tight and bright live as this song off the record. Incredible.
This song has three, four line verses and a three line chorus that repeats three times. Billy Gibbons begins singing each verse, singing lines one and three while Dusty Hill sings lines two and four. Billy Gibbons sings line one of the chorus, Dusty Hill sings line two, and they both harmonize on line three. Going into the lead after chorus two, "Ah, play it boy" is Dusty Hill.

ZZ Top songs I recommend, "Francine", Heartbreaker", "Mexican Blackbird", "Arrested for Driving While Blind", and "Under Pressure".
A real catchy tune, that ZZ Top is known for.

After many drinks, handshakes, hugs, and pictures Gibbons and Hill left to get back on the road home but not before leaving these guys with a memory that they would never forget, Also, a quick note. When Jimi Hendrix was asked live on TV, who he thought was the best guitar player in Rock n Roll his answer was none other than Billy Gibbons. Not a bad endorsement huh!
Billy Gibbons does have a guitar named "Pearly Gates". She's a 1959 Gibson Les Paul. Both Billy and Dusty were singing on this song.
My all time favorite ZZ Top song!
The baddest, badass little ol' band from Texas, Baby!
Whole Lp is great, timeless.
They have definitely drank their share of beer and raised their share of hell! My favorite of all time!
I THANK YOU
great song...their first radio song I believe. An old blues standard. but they did it only the way ZZ Top can.
I remember as a teenager in the late 70s cruise in my 69 gto judge convertible to the badas@ 8track I had. Lol brad glad to hear you say that it takes dedication and so many hours of work. In the 70s we didn't have the resources there is today. If you want to learn to play you need to hang out with people that play it will rub off. Check out zz top.. Blue jean blues to understand his skills.
Aw man RIP Dusty Hill 🌌
"Just Got Paid"
"Francine" good ones too.
🤘💀✌
They found MEGA success with their 1983 release of the “commercialized” Eliminator album…..This song is before that so therefore, like others before “Eliminator”, are total BANGERS !
From Elimintor on I didn't like them any more. Everything before was incredible
I heard it on the X, Got Me Under Pressure, My Heads in Mississippi and Waiting on the Bus (Jesus Left Chicago) are all awesome ZZ Top tunes
The way Lex is describing how the guitar stands out, musicians often use the term "it cuts through the mix" to describe that.
