When I saw them in concert, one had a white Rhinestone Cowboy outfit on and the other one had a black Rhinestone Cowboy outfit on and they both moved in sync with each other and yes they were, (Bad Nationwide)!! Oh by the way, FOGHAT! opened up for them 🤟🥰 a concert l'll never forget 👍💖
Thank You. Common Man’s Band “We’re Nationwide” with native Texans, what you see, is what you get. Guys, I’m here to tell ya, Billy, Dusty and Frank were the most genuine, humbled guys you could met. Living near me, on the weekend, they would just show up to jam and talk music. It was a magical time. Y’all should check out interviews. Billy remains a great inspiration.
I had a buddy in Houston up near Spring but still in Houston. Lost touch but Kenny seemed to know where ZZ Top would hang out at different places with big yards/land doing jam sessions outdoors working on next albums while random people showing up with coolers full of beer and people bbq'ing over campfires randomly. I went to keg parties like that but never a famous band setting. Just the Aiwa Deck blasting a cassette player or FM radio. Both were fun. FM radio was something else then. Fresh and random could happen at any time.
That's funny, because when I saw ZZ-TOP in the title, I immediately said "yes! They're back with the common man's band." Btw, ZZ has a short song (under 3 minutes) that is an energetic jam titled "Heard It On The X" I highly recommend it.
fun fact: DEGÜELLO.The degüello, music played by the Mexican army bands on the morning of March 6, 1836, was the signal for Antonio López de Santa Anna's attack on the Alamo. The word degüello signifies the act of beheading or throat-cutting and in Spanish history became associated with the battle music, which, in different versions, meant complete destruction of the enemy without mercy.
Oh man, I love where it gets so funky at the end, they just absolutely tear it up. That's insane. You guys have got to hear Heard It On The X, which I think is from their Fandango album. It's actually a bit autobiographical but it is so tight and it is an absolute banger. Funny side story, I went to a biker wedding years ago and the bride had kind of a tough-looking hippie dress on and was beautiful, and then the groom, who was formerly in a California chapter of the Hells Angels, but now back home, did not have a tux on but he did have one of those t-shirts where it has an image of a tux and a bow-tie printed on the front of it, it was so surreal and wonderful. And then the song as they did the wedding procession, was actually ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man, laugh. That whole thing was such a party.
I can still remember the first time I heard the full track and how pissed I was that the radio stations always cut off the funky bit at the end!! Great reaction as always!!!
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.
@@rollon863 as Billy says right out the gate, "Same three guys, same three cords", lol. Grew up in Texas and loved the tres hombres from my first listen.
Texas boogie n bluz....The X really showcases their musicianship - Fool For Your Stockings very rich blues and rock bass like a guitar. Saw the ZZ top wild West show as a kid it was great. They tapped danced onstage and played some Elvis tunes. I think I've seen every iteration of The Lil ole Band from Texas.
Saw them live 3 times, never disappointed in handing over my money. They were all showmen, they believed you should have a good time. Chattanooga, Atlanta, Austin. We will always miss Dusty laying down the bass. He loved the funk.
@@russellmorgan5611 , it is. I grew up as a teenager listening to them in their beginning and so forth. Going back is good for us and really good for younger people to discover and enjoy.
If you'd like to check out some ZZ Top live then I'd recommend going way back and get familiar with their 1975 LP "Fandango". One side is Live and the other side is studio tracks. It was the 1st ZZ album I bought as a 15 yr old. Absolutely love their tune "Blue Jean Blues" off that classic early LP. Maybe a full album reaction is in store. Total play time is only 34 minutes. As usual gentleman another kicka$$ reaction.
You got that right. Fandango is a great album and "Blue Jean Blues" is a gift to the ears. It was also my first Z Z album. I bought Tres Hombres the next day. Peace.
There's a bunch of vids from their appearance at Rockpalast 1980 in Germany that are great. Fool For Your Stockings and Nasty Dogs are particularly good.
@@RoyPietromartire-gs9kl I was the other way round. Probably younger than you a bit. I got Tres Hombres and tried to find everything they had. Drove the record store guy nuts, but he was into it too. Edit: my uncle turned me on to them.
Lol😂 “this Texas rock is gangster” “it is”!!!! So good! ZZ Top 1st album, Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres, Fandango, Tejas, Deguello are all great albums top to bottom. They’re one of those bands that it’s really hard, when they were at their peak to find a bad song!
Fellas, when I was a younger man in '77, I was a roadie for ZZ Top on the World Wide Texas Tour. What an experience. We traveled with animals native to Texas who appeared on stage. One of my favorites is Waitin' For A Bus/Jesus Left Chicago or "Heard It on the X." The X was a rock station out of Mexico. 100,000 watts of power and blasting music across Texas, into Kansas, and across the SouthWest.
Love it. Glad you did too. Try Fool For Your Stockings next, from same album. My favorite ZZ album, but I love all the old ones. This album, this song, is just a master class in guitar tones. The Reverend never overplays, always with feeling, groove, funkiness. You all need to hear the original studio version of Blue Jean Blues too, don't forget. Thanks.
You guys nailed it! If I recall these guys had all sorts of cool cars in videos. This music is timeless and you are so right, it's that common man vibe.
ZZ Top's Guitarist, Mr. Billy Gibbons was one of the favorite players of another fairly impressive Ax Master, Mr. Jimi Hendrix. BTW, Jimi is THE Ax Master himself. ZZ are a ton of fun in concert, got to see them three times "back in the day" and all three shows were tip top and full of hit songs and killer riffs. RIP to Bassist Dusty Hill, it's been a year and it still hurts.
Props to you for taking the break after the music has laid it's beat. Listeners are locked in. When you come in with commentary, the people are ready to respond. You men are class.
ZZTop was on tour with Ted Nugent in the mid 70’s The show I went to the Top blew Ted out of the water🎸🎸🎸 Billy Gibbons is one of the best guitarist of this type of music!!!! Fucking bad nation wide
All these pipe all that stugs and won't obey thugs. You trying to think that they would like at song thug by zayz top Cos that brother pounds the base, the whole song or nothing. Fuck my zz top brother get in
I don't know if you've ever been a fool but I would imagine the answer is jails. Cause just about everybody's planter food for the stock and spread. It's AJ top or break it down for you. Z c top doing a song fool for your stockings all right?
I am a 61 year old who grew up in the 70’s & 80’s I didn’t know at the time that we were listening to what would later to be considered classic rock. I was.drawn to your channel when I saw SRV. And the way you do your reactions like two guys just discussing music like I would with one of my buddies at home no shock & awe presentation just honest feelings.THANK YOU.
Nothing like some ZZ Top on a sunny afternoon, especially listening with the best reaction channel out there. Keep on rocking, gentlemen - much love from Canada!
The thing sets Texas blues apart. In my humble opinion. Is the funk so much funk. And yeah, they got swagger for sure. I grew up on this shit. This is my favorite ZZ Top album, though I love them all. Frank Beard does not get enough recognition really underrated drummer. And we’ve got to give a shout out to Dusty Hill He is relentless on this just unconscious. Really love it that you guys are listening to them. Thank you so much. Everyone thinks of eliminator when they think of ZZ Top, but they were so much more than that. But I love that album and man I loved that success for them. One of the things Texas Has to be proud of
Always a highlight for me in concert. This is top 5 ZZ for me ..... says it all in very few words with perfect operation of the language. Something EVERYBODY can understand (and respect). Thanx a lot fellas. Much love to my favorite reactors.
*Manic Mechanic* from their1979 *Degüello* Album guarantee to trip you both up! *ZZ Tops* favourite song to perform but it never got any radio air play - song's so underrated.
I saw them YEARS AGO in a roller skating rink in Indianapolis. Truth! Savoy Brown opened for them (check out their studio version of HELLBOUND TRAIN). Anyway, ZZ had a live rattlesnake in a glass cage on stage with them. FANTASTIC!
You Just can't go wrong with ZZ Top, they never made a bad album, some I like more than others with Tres Hombres my favorite, mainly as that tour in 1973 was the first of a bunch of times seeing them. We had little clue who they were back then and when the light went down, Billy Gibbons literally skipped across the stage and started playing the heaviest blues rock we had ever heard, the crowd was electrified by these 3 guys and yet another great band had taken off. Try Just Got Paid Today, studio or live, it was always a killer track. The little ole band from Texas, became a forever band as they are loved and respected, world wide. Enjoy, I have for 50 years now, time for them live at Rock Palast back in the day!🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I was 11 or 12 when I first heard ZZ. I'm 65 now. They been with me all my life. They did release an album about 5 yrs ago before Dusty died. All these years still love em to death. Man, this gittin old shit sucks.
You guys are my age. So glad you guys love working man music. As we said it souther hip hop and blues in it on way. Keep it up . Check out blackberry smoke . Waiting on the thunder. Zz top brings them on tour and zz top says it there favorite new band
Always one of my favorite live tunes from them. Dusty on that bass in the outro of the tune just wailin'...and of course the good Rev Willie G is always smokin'...and due to the nature of the tune, you know they got some choreography goin' on. Don't come out walkin' if you ain't willin' to show it off!
That whole album is great. Right up y'all's alley. Their first six albums are. You can just pick a random song from any of them and hear some great music. The song Hot Blue and Righteous from the Tres Hombres album is a good one that gets overlooked Imo. But I love all their music, even the more current stuff. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍👋
Tripped me up with that. If I had the choice of any woman in the world or grandma riding next to me in a cool car. Grandma wins. We would ride in style to a fancy dinner at 2:30pm. Miss her.
After 100 years I finally realize what they were saying. I never made out the word Nationwide! When you grow up listening to songs on the radio you have to guess a lot of lyrics - many wrong until hearing the right ones decades later.
ZZ Top is Blues, Rock and Ballroom Swing
Imagine being 17, it’s 1980, you riding in your 72 GTO, baddest car in your high school, jamming this song in your 8 track. That was me…
Sounds like you had a nice life.🤘🏻
Jensen Tri-axles....
beer drinkers and hell raisers is great live zz top my fav
America baby 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I owe about 30% of my hearing loss to some ZZ Top shows back in the 70's. Still out there jammin'.
Well 2 of them are the other one is jammed in a box
Ridin' with ZZ..."nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made..."
When I saw them in concert, one had a white Rhinestone Cowboy outfit on and the other one had a black Rhinestone Cowboy outfit on and they both moved in sync with each other and yes they were, (Bad Nationwide)!! Oh by the way, FOGHAT! opened up for them 🤟🥰 a concert l'll never forget 👍💖
Same in 79 in Houston
Fellas. Fool for yo stockings live from rockoplast. Incredible. Need to do that reaction. Trust me!
If you guys wanna trip on some ZZ Top madness, you must listen to “waiting on the bus. Jesus just left Chicago.”
🔥🔥🔥
That Tuning Fork baseball hat is DOPE.
Thank You. Common Man’s Band “We’re Nationwide” with native Texans, what you see, is what you get.
Guys, I’m here to tell ya, Billy, Dusty and Frank were the most genuine, humbled guys you could met. Living near me, on the weekend, they would just show up to jam and talk music. It was a magical time.
Y’all should check out interviews. Billy remains a great inspiration.
And BG makes some of the best hot sauce too 😉
There is a great documentary about them on Netflix!
I had a buddy in Houston up near Spring but still in Houston. Lost touch but Kenny seemed to know where ZZ Top would hang out at different places with big yards/land doing jam sessions outdoors working on next albums while random people showing up with coolers full of beer and people bbq'ing over campfires randomly. I went to keg parties like that but never a famous band setting. Just the Aiwa Deck blasting a cassette player or FM radio. Both were fun. FM radio was something else then.

Gentlemen ... Wait until you hear "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ Top.
Killer bass line in this!!!

"Rough Boy"

They are great live. RIP Dusty. You will feel the music as much as hear it.
Maybe Geddy Lee could learn some ZZ tunes and do a mini tour to honor Dusty.
Saw them live 3 times, never disappointed in handing over my money. They were all showmen, they believed you should have a good time. Chattanooga, Atlanta, Austin. We will always miss Dusty laying down the bass. He loved the funk.
There is live concert footage from 1980 concert in Germany that will show you just how badass this bad was at this time. Blow your mind
Glad you’re going back to ZZ.
Going back is the way Flogg.
@@russellmorgan5611 , it is. I grew up as a teenager listening to them in their beginning and so forth. Going back is good for us and really good for younger people to discover and enjoy.
That takes me back to my younger, wilder days of sleazing my way around town in my 69 Deville. #BringBackBenchSeats.
Loved the beach seat. I’m wit it brother.
I like that compliment, "That Texas Rock Is Gangster!"
These are Texas bad boys of blues 💙 rock
Real music with real musicians

Another banger from the little band from Texas. Enjoyed a lot.
Best ZZ top album ever!✌️ I remember cruising around in my 65 mustang with this blasting on the 8 track 😎
Just Another Great ZZ Top Tune As Usual
Absolutely killer record
Every track cooks
"Mexican Blackbird", "Heard It On The X" and "Blue Jean Blues"...
A couple from the 80's "Rough Boy" and "Under Pressure"...
Down home dirty Texas blues rock! I'm tellin y'all, can't be beat! Texas🔥! 🤘✌🤠
“Blue Jeans Blues” and “El Diablo” should be the next ones.
It's OK to smile when you listen to this one.
"That Lil' Ole band from Texas." Ain't nothin' like it 🙏🐶😎🇺🇸 Y'all Rock!
You boys are just like me. Far away from the South but in love with its music. I include Texas in southern rock. Same funky feel to its blues.

" they're sporting short dresses wearing spiked heeled shoes" fkn badass 🤘

Tripped me up with that. If I had the choice of any woman in the world or grandma riding next to me in a cool car. Grandma wins. We would ride in style to a fancy dinner at 2:30pm. Miss her.
Great song. Glad you finally got to it.
One of my favorite bands from their first album!
IMO their best album.
After 100 years I finally realize what they were saying. I never made out the word Nationwide!
When you grow up listening to songs on the radio you have to guess a lot of lyrics - many wrong until hearing the right ones decades later.
More than anything their 70's catalog kicked ass and took names! Brown Sugar would be an awesome reaction to do from their first album.
I'm tellin' y'all, "Gotsta Get Paid," a tribute/cover to a legendary Austin, TX hip-hop artist, will knock yer dang socks off.
Great great album !
Description of Billy Gibbons guitar work is "BLUES DELUXE " !!
"...with my gold tooth display...." Classic!!
