@@mancationadventuresusaedit3203 Yeah, that one got me, until I remembered, you meant Zig Zags and Tops, but that WOULD be Kool 😎 if it were the actual reason. However, though this WAS Billy Gibbons' favorite rumor, Diane is correct.
They were famous and most of their best albums came in the 70s. I still consider Fandango one of my favorite live albums of all time, by any band. I'll never get tired of it.
Caught their last show with Dusty in Louisville.. He was playing like a champ but was leaning against stuff quite a bit during the amazing performance. they got better and better every time I saw them live.
heck ya....my first time i heard them was the song " I thank you" on late night radio. I was raised in eastern washington state, very much the sticks. I heard the zz top sound, thumping bass, crazy drums and the coolest guitar...add in the vocals....and I did not know what to think! It was AWESOME ! Fan ever since. 1979
The Ford Coupe was featured in a trio of ZZ Top videos. In addition to "Gimme All Your Lovin'" there was "Sharp Dressed Man," in which a trio of ladies help out another young man, and "Legs" in which the ladies help out a young lady who is being bullied at work. All worth seeing.
ZZ Top was famous long before MTV was born. Those of us in Houston are proud to have them call Houston home. They were all very approachable (RIP Dusty) in public. One of the greatest American rock bands of all time.
After they became famous, they still honored their contracts to play in the high schools' proms in the Golden Triangle. I know they did Bishop Byrne HS in Port Arthur & Little Cypress north of Orange.
You may or may not be interested but that car is called "The Eliminator". It's a 1934 Ford "hot rod" that is owned by the guitarist Billy Gibbons. He had it built in the 80's and he still owns it along with several other legendary custom cars. He's as much of a legend in automobile circles as he is in music! A double legend basically.
One of the best human beings in my lifetime, Jimi Hendrix knew he was special, and an auto enthusiast of the highest order. No one has a tone for their guitar quite like him, they will listen to them centuries from now.
You're spot on when you discuss the impact MTV had on promoting music in those days. Having a strong visual clip to go with a song was what everyone wanted. ZZ Top hit the nail on this one, using two tropes that were almost guaranteed to be successful: attractive women and a great car. This certainly drove the airplay, however the music itself was already great. To this day, this is one of a handful of albums that I will listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. It was also one of the first 3 CDs I bought when CD players came out (yeah, I've been around a looong time hahaha)
Saw them in concert in Lubbock, TX. A group called "Night Ranger" (a little known band at the time, but they later became quite a sensation with their song "Sister Cristian") opened for them.

More ZZ Top trivia… The brunette woman in red, who also appeared in the Legs and Sharp Dressed Man videos, is Jeana Tomasino, a former Playboy centerfold. 20+ years later, as Jeana Keough, she was one of the Real Housewives of Orange County.
A great power trio. Guitar, bass and drums that fill a stadium with music. I have to play ZZ whenever I visit a friend that lives at the end of a 20 mile stretch of road named Le Grange.
Billy gibbons is one of rocks greatest guitarists , his 1st band in 1966 , moving sidewalks opened for , hendrix and the doors , I was shocked to see early pictures of Billy and dusty with no beards , give me all your lovin was played endlessly on MTV so were many songs from their hit album eliminator, they sound fantastic live which I've seen 3 times , this reaction video took me back , thanks Diane
One of by buddies from school & I started building houses after we returned from the Viet. War in 1969. We grew up on the west side of Houston, Tx. in "Memorial" area. My buddy would go to a local bar on Memorial Drive to shoot pool & drink. Quite often he would run into Billy Gibbons at the bar when he wasn't on the road with the band.
I've known many people who have met Billy Gibbons, and nobody ever had anything to say about him except for good things. Dusty lived in The Woodlands, Tx and I would see his Hummer out and about. A high school friend of mine did photography work for ZZ Top, and invited me to meet Dusty, but we didn't make that happen before he passed away.
Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago is my fave ZZ Top. Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers, and Just Got Paid are a couple other real good too imo.😊
Fun Fact! Billy Gibbons, the guitar player, played in a band that opened for Jimi Hendrix in the late 60s called The Moving Sidewalks. Jimi actually told folks how impressed he was with 19 year old Gibbons' guitar playing. Talk about a confidence booster!
Frank Beard is the only guy without a beard and the band was literally in Back to the Future 3. And yes, you should check out Sharp Dressed Man and maybe Tube Snake Boogie and Pearl Necklace...
@@DianeJennings The part where the town dance begins with Doc Brown and Clara dance, the members of the band are the three guys that kick off the festivities with the fiddle and other instruments.
I'm really glad that I was born at the end of the 60s and saw and heard all the super bands like ZZ Top, Queen, the Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC (and whatever they're all called) live, without the countless fantastic world hits of these unique musicians being spoiled by any commercials. The long full beards, heavily tinted sunglasses and Stetsons became ZZ Top's trademark. ZZ Top is still cult. 🤩 R.I.P. Dusty Hill.
The band was based in Houston. When they played in town, they would often play in a small venue and keep performing shows every night until the show didn't sell out. If I remember correctly, the last time they did that, the shows kept selling out, but they had to leave to do another gig out of town. One of my ex-managers didn't realize he lived near one of the band members until he was surprised by seeing the band member mowing his own lawn.
ZZ Top is one of those bands that's in a genre all their own. They created the style known as "Texas Blues". Truly original. Nobody else does it. Gotta follow up with Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, La Grange, Pearl Necklace, I'm Bad (I'm Nation Wide), and their cover of the Elvis song, Viva Las Vegas.
ZZ Top was the second concert that I ever attended in 1976 right after their album, Fandango, came out. Black Oak Arkansas was the first concert I attended in 1974. Drum legend, Tommy Aldridge, was playing drums for them back then.
ZZ made a resurgence in the 80s managing to fit their unique raw style in a world where so much of everything on the air was synthetic drums and keyboard. I remember hearing that Billy Gibbons played with a Mexican peso coin instead of a plastic guitar pick and that’s what gave him a distinct sound. As a 15-year-old watching MTV when this song came out I remember thinking they were very cool to still be making hits. Check out “La Grange “ or “Just got Paid”. Great reaction Diane😍
"Eliminator" (1983) was their biggest selling album, and "Afterburner" (1985) was a good follow-up to it. In the 1980s and 1990s MTV had a big impact to album sales especially how long the same album stayed in the charts with a help of new music videos.
Watching you do the reaction reminds me of how i watch film; theres a part that makes me feel warm and happy then i see some shiza and then i think oh...cant really love it.
Hey Diane, ZZ Top was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Back in the day, I saw them at the Chip during the Sturgis motorcycle rally. Just kicking back on my Harley, having an adult beverage with a few thousand bikers is a really great way to see ZZ Top live!!! That was a fun night. :-)
I've seen them 6 or7 times. Tres Hombres, and Fandango are probably my favorite albums. I kind of tuned them out with the Eliminator, and Afterburner records. Not my favorites. Always was a good show though. Of course they always played Gimme All Your Lovin', and Legs. And Sharp Dressed Man, too.
I was born in Irving Tx. I remember when I was like 5 or 6 years old, Dusty Hill was like 5 or 6 houses down from us right next door to my brother's friends house. we played football while they were Rocking out Practicing ... I remember how good they sounded.
"That little ole' band from Texas" - - - ZZ Top. Hot Chicks, Hot Cars and Rock n Roll. Life Is GOOD ! ! . . . Saw them twice and was blown away both nights. These guys just flat stood on it. Great music and the crowd pumped up and having fun. Doesn't get any better than that. Rest In Peace Dusty - We miss you..
I remember buying their first album in the mid '70's and a friend of mine had a old wooden console stereo that sounded like a stage monitor from Ted Nugent! It was awesome. Been a HUGE fan since! Thank you for the reaction!
On a very positive note, I enjoy watching your perspective & reaction to classical/old school music. I have children that are not too much younger than you & it is a positive to see them, as well as yourself, enjoy and understand the positive efforts of artists earlier on. Thank you for your ever present positive attitude and insight. I enjoy by chance seeing a cross age cultural common thread. Best wishes from California. Enjoy what you are doing in a positive way.
Buffalo Motor Cars built the 32 coupe custom. The biggest custom feature is that its "chopped", meaning the roof is cut off at all four corners and the posts shortened before the roof is reattached, dropping the roof height several inches. In addition its fitted with "suicide doors", which are hinged so they open rearward instead of forward.
ZZ Top was actually in the third Back To The Future movie. They were the band playing at the dance, and even do their signature guitar spin. They also wrote a song specifically for the movie called Doubleback, which is the song they play at the dance.
My friends all went to the concert in Tulsa on that tour and I couldn't go but made them get me that key chain. I had it a few years until it disappeared. And scruffy is good.
Ha! The only guy in the band without a beard is named Frank Beard!😁
Omg! Irony 😱
So he actually was born with a beard

ZZ Top was famous long before MTV was born. Those of us in Houston are proud to have them call Houston home. They were all very approachable (RIP Dusty) in public. One of the greatest American rock bands of all time.
ZZ Top's Tres Hombres album was released in 1973, maybe six years before MTV began. We played it a lot.
I ran into Billy Gibbons once on South Padre Island, very nice dude
After they became famous, they still honored their contracts to play in the high schools' proms in the Golden Triangle. I know they did Bishop Byrne HS in Port Arthur & Little Cypress north of Orange.
As a proud Houstonian, I concur.
Growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's we drove the baddest muscle cars, dated the coolest girls, and listened to the best music ever made.

She should check out the song "Legs", also
MTV came out in 81. I had been listening to ZZ 11 yrs by then. Sheese.
Known as "The Boys from Texas"
You can not believe how much sound three guys can make when you see them live.
I would put ZZ Top up there as one of the greatest live shows ever--them and Tom Petty. Cheap Trick also kicked @$$ but not as much as ZZ Top.

I like that approach to touring. I imagine once you get to a certain size you couldn’t do it anymore though. Makes sense.
The band credits their longevity to the fact that each member had their own touring bus.

Very first concert I ever went to was with my mom and I was 10. Yeah my mom was cool.
One of my favorite songs from my childhood. There's a story to this video and continues in another video by another band

Saw ZZ in Cali around 1986. Saw them this year outside Atlanta. Getting old but still have it.
Gorgeous girl...we love our ZZTOP...MTV made this song popular the band was famous before MTV
Yup zz top you always do good music and you best rock on😊
they are the longest years of original members in the band till dusty hill had passed saw them twice 25 years apart and they rock
their music sounds absolutely fantastic the bounce and rhythm and that sauce and hear that ford coupe engine rumbleing
Still love the boys from Texas! Saw them in the 80s and going to go see Billy Gibbons NEXT month. Can't wait.
Legs is probably my favorite song of theirs
ZZ Top were at their peak a decade before MTV. I still love the whole Eliminator album though.

ZZ Top is a band I'd still like to go see in concert.
La Grange is a great song for a review also.
I've seen them 6 or7 times. Tres Hombres, and Fandango are probably my favorite albums. I kind of tuned them out with the Eliminator, and Afterburner records. Not my favorites. Always was a good show though. Of course they always played Gimme All Your Lovin', and Legs. And Sharp Dressed Man, too.
@BillW1 agreed. I like their earlier stuff more too
I can imagine they’d be good… I’d still want my own area with 2 m of personal space around me though 😆
