i love this thing here we are all hanging out peacefully listening to music we all love...young, old, black, white and everyone else ..the more they try to drive a wedge between us the more we get closer!
In an interview, Billy Gibbons said, ""Yes, it's based on a rap song from the 1990's entitled '25 Lighters' by Lil' Keke and Fat Pat. It was recorded at a Digital Services Recording in Houston and we worked there as well, so we got to know those guys and that song just stayed with us for all that time. It really stayed in our head for all that time while we figured out how to deconstruct it and transform it into a guitar-based, blues-infused rocker as you hear it on La Futura. That guitar breakdown is something of a tribute to the great Lightnin' Hopkins, another of our 'heroes of the Houston ghetto.'"
True. He also said his FAVORITE was Chicago’s Terry Kath. Kath is one of the greatest artists ….singing and playing guitar. BB KING said Kath sounded like Ray Charles.
Michael Tabor 1 year ago ZZ Top is from Texas. In1989 DJ DMD (also from Texas) had a rap song called "25 Lighters". When ZZ Top's studio was being worked on they shared a recording house with a bunch of hip-hop artists. They got to be pretty good friends and ended up reworking the song. BTW, in Houston, dealers used to take Bic Lighters apart, remove the inside and fill them with crack. So yeah, this song is about slinging rocks.
Yes Asia! The Hard Bass with his Raspy Voice gave this hard gravelly feel to me but then it has this underlying melody. Some of ZZ Tops songs sound very similar to me, but this song was Badass! Somehow I missed this song & it is SO going on my Playlist! Thanks for the share family. ❤
I prefer Johnny's Cell Block #9 - Highway 101 - Stone County aaaaaannnd more - Tobacco Road was Johnny's charitable gift to Edgar to get him off the ground - too Frankensteinish fo me !
THANKS for clarifying the lyrics for this one...I been trying to figure em out since this popped. I'm an old-school fan of ZZ...since the 70's. All you need for a party is a little ZZ, a little whiskey, and a little of the "combustible botanicals," then it's ALL good. Tip of the cap to the band too...they stay "plugged in" to the music scene and what's going on with popular music across all the genres. It's kept em relevant over the decades. It shows within their music too. And, RIP Dusty...you're sorely missed.
Speaking of a rap song re-done, The Gourds recreated Snoop Dogg's "Gin 'n Juice" and it is sooo good! The Gourds are a southern alternative rock/country (maybe a little bluesy) band from Austin. If you haven't heard it, I know you will love it! Snoop himself is a big fan of it!
Hi guys, y'all in Tex '& I'm in Houston 🖐️🖐️. I've seen zz 7 times &. Dam they get down. 💞💞💞💞. R.i.p. Dusty hill. Dusty has a ranch down the street from my mom in. San. Leon. Tex. Luv you 2. 💞💞
Watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷ZZTOP 🔥HELL YEA ☠☠☠😈I M SEE ZZTOP in SUNFEST WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA 😎🔥THE BEST POWER TRIO EVER 🤘🎼🎶D.HILL R.I.P 🕶🎩🎸CHECK OUT, PARTY ON THE PATIO ⚡
El Chicano: 👇 TELL HER SHE'S LOVELY got a feeling y'all be dancin' Sade : KISS OF LIFE Thank you for allowing me and other people to send you songs for reactions I really enjoy watching your guys' show I think now it's probably the only one that I go watch when I watch reactions
I would love it if you would react to ZZ TOP's "I NEED YOU TONIGHT" (1983). I think it is the best of their 80's music; kind of mysterious and sexy at the same time. People always say the song can bring out the "inner stripper" in everyone, and I have to agree 😅!
Dad saw them twice 1st time playing in a bar in la Grange welcome zz top 3people clapped dad said they waiting for the bus the rest is history and at opening mc Nichols area they came back years later to close mc Nichols me and my brother went to see The band War had a blast zz played the next day Larry Joe 🧡😎❤
The beat was dope!!! ❤👌 Gangsta Rock should be a genre If you haven't already you should check out Rage Agaisnt the Machine verions of Renegades of Funk and Microphone Fiend they do both tunes justice!!
Much respect to ZZ Top but you should react to the original version of this song. This is actually a cover from a rap song by a rapper from Houston named “DJ DMD- 25 lighters”
this is probably their 20th best song....not good at all to be honest but to each his own....much rather Jesus just left chicago, cheap sunglasses, tube snake boogie, pearl necklace, just got paid, etc...
I'm scratching my head, I could've sworn you already reacted to this song and video on live stream; now acting like you hearing it for the first time. WTF!!!

Dj DMD
ZZ fixed it
Love all things ZZ Top still rocking after 50 years RIP Dusty
Legendary guitarist, Jimi Hendrix stated that Billy Gibbons is one of the awesome guitarists after seeing ZZTOP.
True.
He also said his FAVORITE was Chicago’s Terry Kath. Kath is one of the greatest artists ….singing and playing guitar. BB KING said Kath sounded like Ray Charles.
i'm pretty sure it was after seeing the moving sidewalks. not zz top

That boy (Billy Gibbons) gets so much outta so little .
Brings the gnarly out ...got to my core .
My favorite Asia and BJ, and my favorite band of all time! Ain't nothing better than this!

Johnny and Edgar Winter. Tobacco Road. It'll blow ur mind
Hells to the YEAH! Awesome suggestion 👏
Need to do it
I prefer Johnny's Cell Block #9 - Highway 101 - Stone County aaaaaannnd more - Tobacco Road was Johnny's charitable gift to Edgar to get him off the ground - too Frankensteinish fo me !
Billy Gibbons is from The H. He co-wrote this song in the 90s and still owns the rights to it.

It’s a remake of DJ DMD - 25 Lighters
It’s a Htown CLASSIC
I still love Asia's smile and pretty eyes.

Texas blues rock! The little ol band from Texas
This was my alarm song for years

DJ DMD put out the original & than Dead End Alliance(Screw, Keke, Hawk, Kay Kay) did it. I think those are DMDs lyrics
Ya he's doing DJ DMD's verse throughout this song. The original also had verses by Lil Keke and Fat Pat.

I would love it if you would react to ZZ TOP's "I NEED YOU TONIGHT" (1983). I think it is the best of their 80's music; kind of mysterious and sexy at the same time. People always say the song can bring out the "inner stripper" in everyone, and I have to agree 😅!

They have a cool song "Just got paid", I advise you if it is not on the channel. Joe Bonamassa also performed it for my taste.
Yo are you guys from Dallas? I'm from Fort Worth
The beat was dope!!! ❤👌
Gangsta Rock should be a genre
If you haven't already you should check out Rage Agaisnt the Machine verions of Renegades of Funk and Microphone Fiend they do both tunes justice!!
Please do Texas artist, Roy Orbison.

Some dirty old fuzz right there by the Rev. Willie G.

Much respect to ZZ Top but you should react to the original version of this song. This is actually a cover from a rap song by a rapper from Houston named “DJ DMD- 25 lighters”

Just got back from Baby’s 🔥🔥🔥
Love ZZ, this is so dirty (good dirty) wish we could keep getting more.........RIP Dusty
Black People reacting to white people stuff = views and white people reacting to black people stuff = views 🤷🏽♂️
I'm scratching my head, I could've sworn you already reacted to this song and video on live stream; now acting like you hearing it for the first time. WTF!!!
Need the lighter s for customers
Please would you react to STRONGER TOGETHER by THE CHIMES? Thank you
This is not a homage to rap.
ZZ has no country element in any song. They are blues rock and occasional funk. No country.
Texas Blues Rock
