ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses

[MrEmohdee]

them boys got style........

[talldarkhndsm34]

14 people couldn't find sunglasses if they were on your face. So glad we have the bottom of the gene pool to collect the garbage so it doesn't mix with the good stuff.

[imjustpassinthru]

Are those beards for real? I know it's part of the act, but damn, do chicks want to have sex with one of those things tickling their boobs? If it were me, I would paste on a fake beard for performances and take it off before getting into bed with a woman.

[DerRoteVogel]

@imjustpassinthru Their ZZ top every woman wants to have sex with them.

[imjustpassinthru]

@DerRoteVogel ... Okay, but which is the one with the deep La Grange voice?

[TheSRC88]

@imjustpassinthru Billy Gibbons the guitar player and lead singer

[Cap285]

Holy shit, ZZ Top is so fucking cool.

[WalkerCobbMusic]

3:10 Cowbell!!!!



[beinndorainjames]

That guy is a shit hot drummer.

[MadSpectro7]

They were offered $1,000,000 to shave their beards on TV. What a cheapass; those beards are worth at least $5,000,000 each.

[thunderbluff3]

ironic the guy whose name is beard doesn't have a beard 

[odiealegodediego]

They look like the coolest amish people on earth

[draconianmale]

@odiealegodediego nah man, think big bearded texans.

[RasMajnouni]

@odiealegodediego Or Goyisch Chassidim?

[therealraybaby]

Funky fine levi's!

[ThePoolx]

Magical alien drum !!!

[DexSinister]

LOVE THESE GUYS TO BITS!.....but is see where Jamie Hyneman got his look from :)

[DrStrangefate]

10 people couldn't beat the masses.

[swampcabbage52]

I lost my damn sunglasses again,,,my cellphone and me keys...fuck it anybody got a beer ?

[Thiefnuker]

If you imagine them eating a soup with these beards, you think "ugh, these beards arent THAT cool". And half a minute later you think "Hell they f***** ARE THAT COOL!"

[acfreak55]

8 people wouldnt know good music if it bit them in the ass.

[sevenfingers2001]

I missed them in concert back in 1981 'cause I was putting the wood to a married woman from out of town. She had legs and she knew how to spread them!

[DerEchteBold]

This fucked-up guitar sound is terrific!

[TheRicegrinder]

are they amish?

[DerEchteBold]

@TheRicegrinder

judging by songs like "pearl necklace", "brown sugar", "bedroom thang", "beer drinkers & hellraisers", or "whiskey'n mama" i'd have to go with NO

[FearTheSpear1977]

@TheRicegrinder,

Not even close...they're Texans :)

[Dorkmister]

Plain and simple, good stuff!! Peace and love all.

[rockin335]

"Bad Ass ZZ"

[workismybane]

Man... I want to see that documentary that was starting at the end.

[louisfriendhastaste]

7 people must be wearing cheap sunglasses (as well as being deaf and dumb)

[22640cal]

ZZ top are one of the few bands to remain bad asses throughout their 40 year career in rock.

[UmbrellaFitzgerald]

this make the preseminal fluid leak from the dirty end of my throbbing fuckstick

[Basspwn69]

The studio version of this song sounds like it has organ in it. am i wrong?

[robnelsonbayvillage]

Driving my giant old Lincoln Limo taking my sons to buy sunglasses and this hits the radio. We went craziy! The entire mission was shopping for sunglasses prior to a Florida trip. LMFAO.

[Theburn77]

Good old American blues rock, it doesn't get much better

[mirandaallisonwentz]

they remind me of kick ass lawn gnomes (;

[theRoseofmyheart]

ALL HAIL THE BEARDS

[letspla2]

7 people have raybans and oakleys

[auntdonut35]

awesome come too america ill pay too see u guys best cover band ever hears

[nfc127]

driving home from work.

turn on the radio

and this song comes up.

OYEAH....

[shostakovich91]

One of the best performances on the Old Grey Whistle Test, although Lynyrd Skynyrd doing an almost endless version of 'Free Bird' was great too.

[wheremylasers]

Shout 'em back at me through yo' television set!



[58abbajimi]

Oh GD what a beat...and that terminology .....blending the "West Coast Strut" with sweet "molasses" uniquely ZZ.

[dirty14you]

Great band....can't tell live from recording....they play it right, sing it right and just push it through you! LUV it!

[GuitaristForHire1]

Seeing them in concert tonight. HELL YEAH!!!

[errklsgod]

7 people can't afford cheap sunglasses.

[wmacisaac]

It takes alot of dedication to grow a beard like that. Always liked the fact that the drummer's name was Beard and he didn't have one.

[RoughBoy1056]

IDK bout the glasses, but watchin Billy playing "Pearly Gates" (his Les Paul) live again is a treat, a rare sight indeed.

[LiminalLady90]

ahhh priceless performance! Love these guys so much!

[agari508]

awesome video

[68caddilac]

billy has got such great feel he makes it look so easy ,but what about that guy from 'myth busters' what a great bass player! 'SELF RAISING FLOWERS'

[SydBarrett7]

Yeah heard this at work couldnt believe it was ZZ Top, huge fan now to say the least.

[koponenii]

Eeeh this was great..i didnt know they play like this coz heard just "hits".

[jlrock79]

5 people prefer expensive sunglasses

[jlrock79]

5 people prefer expensive sunglasses

[MrJoeyplatinum]

I like to spray paint the inside of my sunglasses, it makes the tone come out . Holy fn smokes i got chill bumps......... Billy G. can't understand why people love and worship him, very sad... I can tell you his sound is coming through his hand.Lookes like he was playing through a fender amp...supersonic????

[markierna]

Late 80's worked at a company in Ridgefield CT. John L. told me to listen to this song while wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses. Great advice!

[bobbyozb]

Billy's and Jimmy Page's '59 Les Pauls are the most famous of all time.

[91soldin91]

The Ad on the right side of the page is for braun electric razors. That made me laugh.

[drumrooster]

god what tone..

[MrKnexdude101]

5 people dont got no sunglasses

[saffordpastor]

Gibbons bought that guitar for less than $300 in a pawn shop...in '69 I believe

Add 3 zeros to it and you have what it is worth today..

[saffordpastor]

Pearly Gates!!!!...that Les Paul is worth a ton of money...

[pfloyd4167]

This is a 1959 original Gibson Les Paul 'Burst' guitar in the hands of a great musician...This is the best stuff there is...few come even close

[kevinebarron]

texas.

[phobio1]

The sound at 1:18 is the guitar going through a ring modulator.

[RICK5150JEM777]

@phobio1 really,thank you,i ve been trying to figure that out for a while now.coolio

[Metalmachinecrush]

Raw and simple,....ZZ at its best,...NUFF SAID.

[wankerpuss]

[reignman2112]

[Katzpurr70]

Got myself some cheap dark frames..with the glass so dark they dont even know my name.

[dirtyoldmanxxx]

[Obelisk2290]

[LebU91]

Adam and Jamie :)) BluesBusters

[stoonky8]

@livingoutoftime your versions amazing i was listenig while doing home work and i forgot it was a cover so when i looked up i was confused... sounded great :)

[LivingOutOfTimeBand]

[nickbaldeagle01]

@LivingOutOfTimeBand Your cover is excellent. Get yourselves a gig up here in Manchester and I'll come and see you.

[red5941]

@nickbaldeagle01 in tennessee?

[tAcOsLaPpEr33]

@nickbaldeagle01 Manchester?? Manchester NH?

[nickbaldeagle01]

@tAcOsLaPpEr33 Manchester in lil' ol' England. That little country across the Atlantic ocean with a tin-pot prime minister who thinks he can tell the rest of the world how to live its life.

[cvfb97]

@tAcOsLaPpEr33 come out to manch nh, we wont mind

[StunAGunn]

I LOVE HIP-HOP AND CHEAP SUNGLASSES! OOOHHH YEAAAHHHH!!!! :-D

[allhailrussell]

@StunAGunn oops wrong one,my glasses are so dark i cant see right

[jmejia26]

[allhailrussell]

@jmejia26 that was to you about getting mine at dollar general

[MusicPhene17]

Go out and get your self some thick black frames with the glass so dark they won't even know your name. And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses....

[cotybarker]

3 people can't afford cheap sunglasses.

[Kingrob30]

She had a west coast strut that was sweet as molasses. I'm guessing she had a nice tush. LOL

[JBodine67]

These guys are having just too much fun...

[blackout560]

3 people arent getting cheap sunglasses :p

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

@tjrtherocksponge

Thanks for the response. I think David Robinson from The Cars used those too. I love it when rock adds some electronic music elements.

[guitarcomet5]

@CartoonsAndGameShows ...Def Leppard (Rick Allen) does, too.

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

1:27

What exactly are those "electronic drum pads" I see? I'm familiar with Simmons pads of the 80s, but the ones in this video are new to me. Good song BTW.

[ROCKSGGLP]

3 people need a fuckin ass kickin

[TheMaxxwill88]

@ROCKSGGLP now 7 people do

[GibsonLPCFreak91]

COOL XD XD

[TheJesseMusic]

I love how all the effects are done by the soundman backstage, he doesn't have any pedals himself.. Ultimate freedom!

[DiscreteFrottage]

"Hidden beneath the sands of time...."

[Demonridesthemoon]

Erased from colonial history!

[skpscv]

they bad, they nationwide!

[ReneeNme]

Bop bop a dee a lop .... ZZ fucking rawks.

[jonwrightroofing]

It just doesn't get any better here in Texas. Profound lyrics about sunglasses, legs, blue jeans, beer, La Grange, and legs. Did I mention legs? These guys are truly modern philosophers and poet laureates.

[Jugglingj0na5]

i hear this song in PGR2 for xbox, oh yeah!

[mitcky]

A pocket full of Levis and a sweater kind a tight......classic

[jpdidit]

ZZ Top deserve medals

[Clewayze]

Nothin' like a pair of Cheap Sunglasses

[Dragonshouter]

Dusty Hill, great bassist



[pfloyd4167]

Billy is the King of Cool...nobody comes close. Very groovy songs and a guitar tone to die for.

[bradenn]

@pfloyd4167 Not to mention his taste of American automobiles and motorbikes!!! Billy is the fuckin' King of Cool!

[Hydrodc1]

My all time favorite ZZ song.

[toluwanile]

Yeah, I didn't forsee all this bashing of gangsta rap. Your anal-retentive myopia aside, I never said rap was good music (even though I think that the real stuff is), I merely implied that gangsta rappers have a sense of cool about them. You may disagree of course.

[gibsongold1970]

gangsta rap cannot even compare to this.

that stuff is re-hashed over and over again. NEXT!

[iggvf]

he got the most awesome guitar of all time... Gibson Les Paul 1959 "The Holy Grail"

value in 1965 = 200 $

Value in 2010 = 400000 $... Price is going up every year... you can only find 1600 of them in good condition today... jimmy page got 2 of them slash has one...

[horneyhush]

You can't hear the guitar being out of tune? OUCH!

[EnragedSlash]

pearlygates is so shiny and sexy in this video!! :)

[toluwanile]

Damn, didnt know ZZ top had such a deep sense of cool! This is the first time I have listened to them and they just seem so bad ass. Gibbons is so cool, I find myself thinking he might be a black gangsta rapper lol

[BigishJim1]

@toluwanile balck gansta rapa doesnt sound cool tho sonds ratarted

[mcp666]

@toluwanile They were ultra cool up to and including Eliminayor after which they lost it BIG time. This was a high point, Afterburner was a low point. :-D

[auntygomez]

gucking cool bastards. that was slick as fuck

[SerenDPity]

Not sure why this song absolutely makes me giggle

[verticalslice]

Awesome! Love the guitar and small fender combo tone!
