Sound Like ZZ Top WITHOUT Busting the Bank - • Sound Like ZZ Top | Wi...
Formed in 1969, ZZ Top have gone on to become one of the most influential rock bands of all time. With total worldwide album sales of over 50 million, the band's ongoing influence is also evidenced in modern streaming platforms such as Spotify, where they have almost 4.6 million monthly listeners, and 162 million streams on their top song, "La Grange". It's safe to say that the influence of ZZ top is deeply rooted within the very foundations of rock 'n' roll, and shows no evidence of going anywhere anytime soon.

That fuzz is thick. Like the irony of Frank Beard's name.
@@jakobovski13 But he hasn't
@@jakobovski13 Not back in my time, you whippersnapper!
@@RemoteAbductionArm Added to the fact he played in a band where the other members are known for their substantial beard. Layers of irony.
So much irony I need a folic acid supplement to process it all.
@@ryanern18 I'm drinking a lot of vitamin b supplements right now. Like. A. Lot.
that laney in the background is just screaming for a Black Sabbath by busting
Wow, when La Grange kicked in on the strat... it was flawless. Superb job guys!!
So great!
What about sounding like Eric Johnson? Would love to see Bea play Cliffs of Dover :O
And do not forget the Duracell batteries for the pedals. Have to be Duracells.
Make this happen bea!
I'd rather hear Manhattan
+1
There’s a patch on the helix called “cliffs of Dover” and if you plug a strat into it, it is a carbon copy of Eric J’s tone
Yep....got me good acting like you dropped the LP lol felt for you for a second 😂
😂 my heart dropped
dude my stomach legit sank
Wouldn’t be a great loss to the world 🤭 headstock will fall off eventually anyway
Man I got way too scared for a guitar I don't own lol
I pooped a little
Suggestions for some future Sounds Like
- Ghost Without Busting
- Primus Without Busting
- Stevie Ray Vaughan By Busting
- Megadeth Without Busting
- Metallica By Busting
- Mick Ronson Without Busting (For those who don't know, Ronson was David Bowie's original guitarist who played on albums like _The Man Who Sold the World,_ _Ziggy Stardust_ and _Aladdin Sane)_
- Chuck Berry Without Busting
- Smashing Pumpkins By Busting
Frank Beard ain't go no beard. No points off for grammar
This is kinda long but felt it would be helpful to someone looking for a Megadeth type of sound
The gear I used to get a nice Megadeth style sound was a
Marshall MG15CF Gain:7 Bass:10 Mid:8 Treb:10
Tube Screamer TS9 (Dave uses 808)
Drive:Off/9 o’clock Tone:Noon Level:3 o’clock/full.
And the guitar I got closest sound with was my Vintage V100 LP copy. I love that guitar. Great sound and feel for a copy. That may vary with each guitar so be cautious. But mine is great. I set my amp and Ts up that way just noodling and got very Mustaine vibes from it so I looked up Dave’s settings and that’s a common setting he uses. Nicer amps and a ts808 or similar pedal will probably sound a little nicer but it sounded great with what I used. The most expensive part would probably be the v100 as they have different styles that vary in price. That got me a very similar sound to The System Has Failed. Sorry if this was too long but I just wanted to share it
"Here we go, it sounds nothing like ZZ Top but it sounds awesome."
Great video guys!
Hah, yeah, it's pretty obvious that they're really just mostly picking gear they want to try. At least in the "busting the bank" series. Fair enough, though,
you're wrong, it sounds EXACTLY like ZZ Top, or maybe they used too much gain
this was WAY better than the without busting by far
I've heard that they have to intentionally screw up the riffs these days to avoid copyright takedowns under EU law.
are you deaf? of course it sounds like ZZ Top
I think TH-cam will take the videos off as well if they are the exact same.
When Captain interviews some guitarist it would be interesting to hear how the original guitarist plays selected "without busting" equipment.
I genuinely FELT the LP drop. It got me good! Felt like I needed therapy after that jump-cut hahah.
DUDE, SAME. IT GENUINELY MADE ME JUMP
That LaGrange tone is leagues ahead of the "by not busting the bank" version. Both clean and crunch.
We need more Sound Like episodes that involve the bass. You can only go so far with just the guitar. Adding the bass really takes it the extra level. You guys already do dual guitars a lot and you already add bass for context a lot. Why not just go all the way with the bass?
GuyNamedSean what about a whole band.
Yifan Zhang what about a full tour in support of each individual episode
Get a P-Bass, sound like everyone?
Whilst this is a cool idea, most bands they cover dont have a whole lot of diversity when it comes to bass equipment. Every episode would be "they use a p bass and an svt" or "we couldnt get all the special stuff they use in their rig." Imagine trying to do tool on a budget? not really gonna happen. I asked for this a couple years back but i quickly realised that all the tones you could need could be covered (on a budget) can be done with a fender rumble and a darkglass vintage od lmao
@@atamize J-Bass. When you want a P-Bass-esque tone, just roll off the bridge pickup volume. But you can't get a clanging slap tone without a bridge pickup on P-Bass.
IMHO J-Bass is more versatile.
This request might be close to Rabea's heart: Extreme/Nuno Bettencourt Without Busting the Bank (or BY busting, I'm easy to get along with).
I don't think they can get a signature Nuno Betancourt Washburn at Anderson's, that's why they don't do it
@@mamamelo2 Actually, I've seen videos where they have N4's in the store, but that may have been a while ago. Either way, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a comparable guitar (dual humbucker, ash body) that would get them in the ballpark :)
I asked him to did this at namm
Hell yeah, I wanna see him shred stuff like Play With Me or He-Man Woman Hater or whatever else
This sounds SO MUCH better than not busting the bank. So cool. Great job!
Yes it does, by some considerable margin. Maybe you should re-do the budget one??
Sound like Lynryd Sknryd from the 70s era please! BY BUSTING
Yes please!!
Why? It would sound nothing like it, and your life would be no different afterwards.
Ah, yes. It's Gilly Biggins from Zed Zed Topp!
😁
That made me want to buy a goldfish, just so I could name him Gilly Bibbons.
TT Zop
You got me. Outside the States it would definitely be Zed Zed Top with Husty Dill.
Zed's dead
@@thealrightestguitarist9135 I am gonna do this.
one of these days they'll chose the Hendrix "Band Of Gypsys" fuzz face and actually use it lol
FootofaFerret, you play guitar?
Hickory McCay he does
Sound like Crap by busting the bank :
Get the most expensive guitar.
Plug it into the dearest amplifier.
Let me do the playing.
There you have it.
Hey now don't say that about yourself. I bet you are better than Nick Jonas and Lil Wayne
Sean King Nick Jonas just had an off night in that vid he’s normally a decent player. Lil Wayne is trying. And if we judge him by shit he’s tried to be good at before (Skating) he’ll be decent in 10 or so years.
Poizin Rath A) it’s a joke B) no one cares if lil Wayne will be good at guitar in 10 years.
oh yes! crap is my favorite band of all time
You guys missed the biggest most important part of the rig ! The harness to spin the guitars !
Not so much a harness, more that both ends of the strap attach to a central straplock on the back of the body (requires modification)
Adam Goodall I’ve seen pictures of the setup. Yeah it was kinda like a strap lock on the back but they had a harness kinda thing that hung over their chest .
I had always thought La Grange was recorded on a Telecaster. I knew there was no effing way it was his Pearly Gates LP. But it being a Strat was mildly surprising. Or even a Gretsch would be possible. And the Strat you chose is a wet dream come true. So sexy and so gorgeous.
This time you nailed La Grange! I love this song, it's the first song I ever played (BADLY) on an electric guitar
I was looking to get the Eliminator sound. you made my day, my week, my month !!!!!! so good. thx
Wow, that Strat sounded great playing La Grange. Fantastic playing by both of y'all
Billy Gibbons plays .07s gauge strings, Don’t forget
The light gauge thing started way back in the day, It was a result of him jamming with BB King who told him man you're working your fingers way too hard on those Ole heavy strings...
Light strings for better tone!
Yes, so many of those legendary guitarists used very light gauge strings .
@@Wyatt42069 They did get great tone but I wonder if those extremely light strings tended to go out of tune frequently ?
@@TheHumbuckerboy not really, i tried the 7s once and it was fine
Anyone else jump when Rebea “dropped” the guitar?
Nah, it was only a Gibson
Missed a trick not using the mythos chupacabra. It is meant to sound like the first 3 albums. And it does!!!!
mickyp2006 yessir!!
Some of the guys from ZZ TOP threw my aunt’s 21st birthday party back in the 70’s. Think y’all did a bang up job on this one. Well picked rig.
good to see matt and bea sporting the beards for such a topical video
to all you idiots saying this doesn't sound like ZZ Top, yes it does!it sounds way closer than the without busting video!
The MXR La Machine is based on the Foxx Tone Machine, not the Octavia.
Also, Billy Gibbons was using a Bixonic Expandora rather than a fuzz for some time-the JHS Kilt is supposedly based on that circuit.
Thanks, guys. Really enjoyed that. I dated a girl in high school named Dusty Hill, whose favorite bands were ZZ Top, Van Halen, and Def Leppard, and her father was a rodeo clown. Kid you not. It was all very Arizona circa 1986. But I digest.
Marshall Lead 12 ( solid state) Fuzz pedal, tube screamer, ( chorus for the recycler years) Humbucker ( coil tap for kicks) done
That Les Paul is PERFECT! However, that Strat nailed "La Grange". Well done, guys \m/
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm in tonal withdrawal right now since my DSL is getting repaired but this is a phenomenal tone
heart attack when he dropped the guitar jeez
I think this has easily been some of the closest playing to the original recordings I think I've heard on sounds like in a while! Really naileded La Grange!!
*Gilly Biggins* is a character of *LotR* 😊
Loved the playing and the gear!
If I remember the old interview I read right it was a hard tail strat for the clean part of la grange and the he switched to pearly gates for the higher gain parts .
Yes, I agree with The Fernanator ... Billy Duffy from The Cult Sounds like ... he has such an iconic 80s rock sound
You chaps were on a roll with the groove on La Grange. Bravo!
3:21 I'm ashamed to say you got me. Heart genuinely skipped a beat. I've been in that predicament before and it isn't fun!
The best way to explain that edge control on the amp is that it gives a sort of edge to the tone. And the more you dial it in the more edge it gives.
That Strat is awesome!
Can you do the cult, without or by I don’t really care.
I concur. Gretsch and a Vox should do the trick
Yes, do the cult.
@@frankconcepcion6593 I reckon they should do a version each:
Matt Gretsh + Vox
Bea LP Custom + Blackstar ( I'm sure I read somewhere Duffy also uses Blackstar amps)
Every Boss delay they can get their hands on evenly distributed.
I've discovered the perfect way to watch this.... slightly intoxicated at twice the usual listening volume! :) :) :)
Mark Hoskins 🍻 👌
La Grange sounds dead on balls accurate! Good job.
That R9 is a twin of my R9. Wish I had the amp as well. Astoria sounds great.
A Gretch G6199 would have great. Billy REALLY likes this one. The ASTORIA sounds better, IMO, than most modern Marshalls. Great job guys!
I live by Charley's guitar shop in Dallas. I know for fact that throughout the 70's and 80's billy Gibbons was buying every SuperFuzz he could find so much so he alone raised their worth. I know because I play them as well . That thru 70's 50 watt jmp heads thru greenback rola 25 watter's is the ZZ sound. All of the first records.
The La Grange sound was absolutely spot on
The cut back to the two of you in the intro to La Grange stood the hair up. Very nice.
Again. It needs to be said how amazing these two are. Another great video M&R!
In light of recent events (RIP Dusty Hill) I've been watching some ZZtop vids, and you guys just nailed "gots ta get paid" - - awesome
As a life long ZZ Top fan and having just recently seen The Rev Billy G in person, you have done him proud, well done on the sound. Eyes closed it took me back, mmmmm that Fat Fuzz, I like it a lot.
Sub Machine was one of the first pedals I bought about three years ago. Still have it. Almost never think of selling it
Can you guys please do Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers next?
Hear hear! I wish more gear channels would cover them.
@@misterknightowlandco Almost no one does.
I nearly shat myself at 3:23
there is something magical about holding a guitar this exPE- *drops guitar*
That was really well edited
Man, really enjoyed this episode. Good playing, good sound. Brilliant
Man, I don't often get googly-eyed over a Strat (even though most of my guitars are strat-style), but that one is a b-e-a-u-t-y!!!
Ethan Atwell exactly what I was just thinking
You guys knocked it out of the park with those tones and playing!!!! Ridiculously great classics tones, and the bonus octave-fuzz stuff was AMAZING!
OMG, that 3/4 edge made your Les Paul sound like AC/DC, dude! That's wild!
That Sub Machine sounds DIRRRRRTYYYY!
great job guys. Gotsa get paid was spot on, but sounded to me like something was missing on sharp dressed man
In my opinion way too much gain for Billy‘s sound but it definitly sounds great 🤘🏼
it was close but yeah too much gain
Too much gain for classic ZZ, but BFG uses quite a lot of gain these days
Glad you guys added the strat! Since it's a by busting, I think you guys should totally get more than one guitar since it is a by busting and there is no budget. Keep up the amazing work guys! ^_^
Dammmmm Rebea, you sound sooo amazing dude. Doesn't matter what gear you use, you just nail it!
I think I need that MXR Sub Machine in my life.
not complete without a mexican peso coin as a pick!
Billy also uses 7 gauge strings supposedly as well.
DuckTalesWooHoo1987 I was just gonna add that lol. And it’s not supposedly, he himself has stated it
He doesn't use a peso, he uses Dunlop thickest picks
@@way2sh0rt07grad The reason I was saying supposedly is because I've heard that he's sorta notorious about lying about his gear. I don't know if that's actually true but I knew a guy that was a MASSSSIVE gear nerd and said that Billy was pretty well known for not being totally forthcoming about his gear.
@parallax3d Dunlop quit using the "Mexican Lottery" name actually. He's also got 8, 9, and 10's made now as well as the 7's
My dads band warmed up zztop back in the late 70s early 80s and Billy gave him shit for playing so loud, showed him a cranked champ, mic’d back stage and told him the marshalls on stage were just for show!
LOVE having the Bass guitar with the guitar.
He also uses a SG with 7-38 strings, besides that, great demo guys loved La Grange
Billy Gibbons, the man whose riffs are as majestic as his beard
Gilly Bibbons... C'mon guys! I just unloaded a fresh mouthful of coffee into my keyboard. Thanks!
Way way closer. Great job, that Marshall sounds great!
great video, this is where the Anderton story really work, these are just guys having a good time and we get to hang out ... honestly great work on the LaGrange lift
The crazy LP and the Strat sounded unreal. You absolutely nailed the tones. One of my favourite Sounds Like.
You definitely sounded more like ZZ Top then you did before. Great job :)
that rig is immense! What a sound-straight up Rock and Roll!
I'm gonna tell you this, it eclipses the without busting by a mile
I Gotsta Get Paid - a bit too loud but the tone was there, it was really close so i give it a 4.25/5
La Grange - very close but i think the distortion was not fizzy enough, i give it a 4/5 close but not perfect
Sharp Dressed Man - the original was more boxy, bass was 100% but guitar this was a bit more modern sounding so 4/5
Gimmie All Your Loving - once again the original was more boxy but it was super close so i give it a 4.25/5 again
keep up the good work
I just love watching the guys rock out, makes my day every time! Keep up the good work.
Stringing together a great rig is like a string of pearls...with a whole bunch of growl! Great job, guys as usual. Cheers. \w/
You should do Sounds Like Andy Summers (The Police). It would be awesome!
Yes.!
So here's the thing. Tried a bit of "sounds like ZZ-top" at home using kit that is nothing like what BFG uses. Guitar was a Squier Tele standard, amp is a HiWatt DR103 (so nothing like a marshall or Billy's Magnatones), strings on the guitar are GHS boomers 10.5-50 - pretty far away from Billy's 7s. The trick was to use a valve o/d pedal with a big muff in front of it. Max out the gain on the valve o/d and use the muff to knock off a bit of top end and bingo. Got the tones off Rhythmeen for days. Course I have fingers like meat hooks so I'm never going to match Mr Gibbons' deft touch and it's probably why I get away with the Boomers but the secret is all in the valve gain. HiWatt isn't much help in the dirt arena since it just gets louder instead of overdriving. Almost impossible to get it to break up even with the inputs wound right up and by the time you do start to get some crunch you've liquified your internal organs. The little valve o/d and the muff are doing all the work. The rest of the gear isn't that critical. I believe Billy get's a lot of his tone from a Marshall SL100 with an EQ to smooth out the differences between guitars. You could probably give him a Rickenbacker and he could still get that tone. Harder to match the phrasing and his timing though. It's all in the fingers as always.
My anxiety went through the roof when Bea dropped that LP!... Great job as always dudes!
Great sounding rig! All I need in my life now is SRV BY BUSTING!
Billy is the best,best riffs of all time!!!
Rabea, you nailed La Grange!
Awesome! The tone was much closer on this one than on the without busting version. A bit more top end and sizzle and you would have nailed the majority of the eliminator tone. In fact, with the edge control a little over half way up it was just about perfect. If you had used a single '57 into some vintage compressors and preamps you likely would have been able to clone the tone.
Magic !!!!
Bangin' job with "La Grange."
first bass that actually looks good. great colours
That Lester, straight into the amp, is SO choice.
Wow, I don't know if it is absolutely spot on, but that sparkly Strat just sounds really really good playing that intro La Grange lick...gets to sounding kinda Hendrix-like on the solo though...maybe need a 2071 Variax to pull that off...got Dr. Who?
I saw ZZ Top at Western Springs back in the eighties when they got banned for being too loud! 🤣🤣🤘🤘Still one of the best concerts I’ve ever been too! You guys did a good job with the tones! 🤘🤘
Penn Jilette told a story on his podcast about how Billy Gibbons overheard someone talking after a ZZ Top show about how he only sounds great due to his expensive equipment. So BG sent one of the roadies to the local guitar shop to buy the cheapest guitar in the store. And he still sounded great.
Great job. You killed LaGrange. I was going to mention the hard tail Strat the last time you were doing Billy's sound. You really nail I Gotsta Get Paid. First half of the Sharp Dressed Man riff was good. The second half is plaid up near the nut though. Love these videos.
Can't get enough of that Astoria. Stellar tones.
“You know what there is something about holding a guitar this expen….”
My soul left my body 🤣
Song title mashup: "Just Got Paid By Bustin' The Bank" Enjoyed this one a lot. Great episode!
Great Vid.... cracked it. Apart from the omission of course of not trying to get Dusty Hills setup.
Bass very often gets very ignored.
Lovin’ the videos.
Sound like Electric Wizard, Sound like Pallbearer, sound like Windhand, sound like Kyuss
Fuck yeah kyuss and wizzard 🤘
The color change on that burst is striking 😳 so nice
