[LT1HILLINGHOE]

I chased a lot o' women while listening to ZZ Top back in the day. Caught right many of them. Oh, to be 18 again with my ol' Chevrolet Z/28 payments and chasing skirts as my only worries.

[balenoday]

@LT1HILLINGHOE OLD CHEV NOT QUICK ENOUGH IT SEEMS.BEING CAUGHT IN THE Z28 WITH MRS PALMER SOUNDS A MORE LIKELY WORRY 4 U.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@balenoday That almost was true one night back in the day...that is until your mom volunteered for the job of "smile with your back on the tile". OBTW....Tell her that I said hello. She'll know what you mean.

Any questions?

[gooberfleming]

I saw this tour in Biloxi Miss...life changing!!!!

[MrPoppimds007]

i meet dusty & Frank in Houston Texas in 1978 Great Guys

[abycandyy]

William Frederik Gibbonns jest dla mnie najwiekszym artysta tej epoki!!!!!!!!!!

[MiKa86bd]

klasyka, cos pieknego:)

[mrdawebb]

oh kiss my ass

[Fanik10]

ZZ Top kicks ass but this is one fucked up video. Even more fucked up that Torture by The Jacksons.

[sfjohn5]

ahhhh i remember the mtv days of 24hr a day music and videos.where have the good

old days gone O.O

[SOUTHERNANDPROUD1861]

ZZ-TOP needs there own TV channel just to play there vids

[TheBayern64]

remember watching this video on MTV every night

[lilacs91]

I don't like any other songs by ZZ Top. This is the only one by them that stands out to me.

[happy04346]

@lilacs91 agreed!!! this song should be played like at least every other day on the radio...

[TheFallingHail]

My Granddad's favourite song..

R.I.P Granddad, I miss you so much..

- 20th October 2011 -

[ZiddersRooFurry]

@TheFallingHail I'm sorry about your granddad but it's really cool you can appreciate him through his favorite music :3

[TheFallingHail]

@ZiddersRooFurry ;) thanks, he was into the heavy metal

[ZiddersRooFurry]

@TheFallingHail Your granddad was awesome :D

[TheFallingHail]

@ZiddersRooFurry ;)

[66fiveandahalf]

Back when MTV actually played videos! The M STOOD for Music! Now it stands for mediocrity!

[Nerdhot]

This song just makes me like chill out, and close my eyes and dance to the sweet sweet guitar <3 Video is weird o_O; but damn this is such a good song.

[lighteningboy]

These are two of the greatest guitar solos of all time, absolutely perfect note selection and emotional phrasing. This is sooooo awesome!

[gretschlover2]

@lighteningboy I absolutely agree- each note is a work of art!

[GenkiLyn]

thank u for this!

[RadioNation03]

odd video, great song. ZZ Top Rocks!

[TheRaidersrock28]

Ah, the softer side of Billy Gibbons and ZZ

[PostalFA]

ZZtop with a synth.....over the top!

[MrTazzywazzy131]

Anyone else ever notice how the one guy in the band named Beard, DIDN'T have one? lol.

[FarleyTube]

@MrTazzywazzy131 Yep, I remember someone pointing that out to me when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade.

[gretschlover2]

If I ever saw that much weird shit in a car wash I would run out screaming!

[gretschlover2]

Best intro ever! Billy makes that Gretsch beg for mercy!

[06ruiz]

Man i remember the first time i heard this song, i loved it!

It was a big risk for these guys though. They had been dabbling in modern rock for an album or two, but this slow song along with the electric drum, was out of their comfort zone.

Im sure glad they did it, and although my favorite zz top songs are the older ones, this one always was cool..

[harris3693]

DAUM, THIS SONG IS DEEP!!!!! :D

[wocsop]

superb post mate thank you

do you have the others ?

[esperanzabielsajarab]

VAYA CANCION GUAPA. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODER

[blutsturmer]

The legs at 2:26 are the most gorgeous pair I have ever seen. Does anyone know the name of the model?

[wocsop]

@blutsturmer

she will be old enough to be your granny now :-) but i feel the same way :-)

[mzondi1970]

70s and 80s music like this will never turn. I listen to everything from aldo nova to zeppelin. This stuff is gone...the talent is gone.

[mzondi1970]

best song on afterburner

[Lisa14285]

wow ... great song ..... i remember once upon a time ..... Lisa was here . kisses a lot .

[100crawma]

@Lisa14285 when MTV actually played music

[OFFENDERRUEB]

GOD BLESS TEXAS

[Samir1158]

[cheffy84]

every time I play this song, or hear it... it takes me back to 2000.. I was 16... had my Camaro.. my lady.. first year in High School.. times were good, easy.. life didn't kick my ass yet.

[corneillius34]

Si cela n' est pas du so si bon alors expliquez-moi ce qu' eqt le bon car alors la je ne comprends plus rien ......

[AjaPet3]

vzpomínka-krásná,kdo to nezažil ,tak nepochopí.....Pohořelice-off road 24 hours závody

[MagnussonX]

Great album this one. Got it as a christmas present back in 85 =)

[amodulares]

This song is not worth only 386,000 views

[JoeyRapps1]

Was this song from a teen movie in the 80's? Ah, dated trends.

[simorado]

8 people dislike this? fuck....... you don't have any chance

[bertbox69]

All that is missing is the obvious sexual imagery when the soap suds squirt on the car...lol

[robnelsonbayvillage]

My BoyZZZ! On the iPod and blazing away.

[saheltaja]

If you ever have to explain someone, what the 80's snare drum sounded like, play them this song. Or, if you have to explain, what was good in the 80's music. Applies for both.

[Athanasioos]

This is serious music.Period. That woman is also dead serious.

[gibsonpaf]

One of my favourite songs of all time and one of my favourite bands long may they be so .

[MrPman851]

This tune "Rough Boy" is one of my FAV tracks from my FAV ZZ Top album, "Afterburner". I was just born when it came out.

[hotrod657551]

saw them in concert in the early 90's with about 200 people. Intimate concert.

played all their hits. what a show. It was in Edmonton,Canada.

[abycandyy]

W F GIBBONS i love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yassearriola]

These where the best days of MTV, now only sucks with realityshits

[67theangus]

so, many years ago....but this is for my Angel, for the best man on my side forever,

i love you so....never forget it !!! In Love Yvi

[StatusQuoFan1993]

so, many years ago, on MTV have been played superb songs.... I am afraid that I am too young to remember it.........

[66fiveandahalf]

My absolute favorite Band, ever!

[marcbrigittedelacote]

J'adore que de beau souvenir!!!!!

[ElFrijolAzul]

im a big fan of the old school rap like 2pac and warren g but dam this is the best rock music ive heard

[MrDoobie28]

This song has not aged

but then it is the blues

and the blues is timeless

[RideMyBMW]

one day guys, one day...they´ll be makin´ spaceships like they do cars. That´ll be the day humanity achieves true freedom.

[GODrules555]

12345! JOAN MARIE! "EYE" 5!

[papuga7010]

który z dzisiejszych dwudziestolatków będzie za dwadzieścia kilka lat pamiętał dzisiejszych pseudo-wykonawców , a my będziemy pamiętali o takich jak ten klasykach do końca !!!!!!!!!

[Allveriam]

@papuga7010 "Pseudo-wykonawcy" mają wierną grupę swoich pseudo-fanów i rzeczywiście ciekawe jest czy ci "fani" będą wiernie słuchać swoich teraźniejszych idoli czy ograniczą się do hołdowania przebojów zasłyszanych w radiu. Tylko prosiłabym nie wrzucać młodzieży do jednego worka. Mam grupę przyjaciół, którą połączyła miłość do ZZ top i my też na pewno zawsze będziemy o nich pamiętać i wracać do tej muzyki..

[cartoonkid1988]

I like the song, but the video is weird.

[Rascupanidjavo]

Marvelous...

[wthjrtx1]

If only the world could be like my blessed TEXAS.....

Rough Boy...What else can you say?

[Sisuberserk]

One of the best songs for late summer evening.

[73Gumienny]

....nie ma nas tutaj Polaków...ludzie,najlepszy kawałek do przytulania...Pozdrawiam...

[saszer20]

@73Gumienny jak to nie ma nas tutaj? uwielbiam ZZ TOP, i wiele zespolow grajacych w latach 80...muzyka tamtych czasow miala swoj niepowtarzalny klimat, ktorego brakuje dzisiejszym zespolom.

[abycandyy]

billy f gibbons jest najfastyczniejszy facet na swiecie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrWojtkowiak3]

to był zajebisty kawałek sorki, jest zajebisty !!!!!!

[abycandyy]

@MrWojtkowiak3 MASZ RACJE JEST ZAJEBISTYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!

[Victorsded]

This song is the reason I started playing guitar. I was 15 and saw them in Vancouver. Before this song Billy walked up to the mic and said "We are gonna play a little slow blues" He hit the first 3 notes and 20,000 lighters went up in the air. It blew my mind that someone could do that with 3 simple notes.

[J90JAM]

@Victorsded

An actual cool story bro!

[RoughBoy1056]

Thanks BF&D, for the story of my life...

[nadir6661]

the old school!



[lazyfreedom98]

Resist You Tube Care . . .本日夜6時より、人気歌手、倉木麻衣さんの東日本大震災復興支­援ライブを生配信!

No Thank You.

[justin3915]

damn good song...

[leozingy]

The part at 0:53 reminds me of Zappa's Bobby Brown Goes Down :) Totally agree with the MTV bashing, I really miss the days when it was only about the music videos...

[greta1643]

Beautiful video for a very nice song ! (and top guitar solos...)

[pete2784]

Exquisite quality, just plane masterpiece! ZZ Top made a very good work with this one! Great pace of melody, suitable voices and of course, great guitar solo....Looove it!

[rubyroxit]

MTV still MEANS SOMETHING FOO

[dragon82a]

@rubyroxit MTV Midget Television?

[kittenmouse23]

My funeral song, perhaps. . . . . Can't know for sure lol

[yrmop]

@kittenmouse23 You'll come back to listen at this time!

[orlandi82]

star love

[uou2002]

Make it mobile!

[mutt1265]

This is from a time that MTV was worth watchin. Now it"s nothing but niggers and teeny bopper bullshit. They should rename it to NTV.

[TheIntingbutikol]

... back then when music was wise, when music was made musicians

[marbleheadband]

billy gibbons gets sentimental with a drum machine & scores ! fuckin' aces.....jeff beck calls billy "his boy" ...at the rock'n roll 25 ann. show & gets down with him on some hendrix tunes...........thanks for not forgettin' about all us rough boys

[HitsTownUSA]

MTV always showed ZZTOP Love..The amount of times this video aired back in 1986 you would have thought it was a top 10 hit. This did'nt get that much airplay on my local TOP 40 station, and it stands to reason since it peaked in the mid 20's on the Hot 100 singles chart.

[XxAKBP2xX]

zz tpo 4 ever

[gottaluvachevygirl]

The 80's were some of the best times and great music and beginnings for sure,,,

[gisrez]

Super hit de ZZ TOP carrément génial .

[LifesonFan4Life]

One of the first things I noticed when this song came out was Frank Beard doesn't hit any cymbals throughout the entire song without the exception of the hi-hats .. great tune !!!

[mcm3566]

sad that mtv is dead

[kantiano]

One of the best solo guitar that I´ve listen in my whole life. Period.

[rhoadnaroahs]

Never hear this one on the radio. I remember drooling over those legs in the video at age 17! Oh, Mama!!

[josecandelariordz]

back when mtv was actually cool..... now it just plain sucks, i just dont watch any of the shit they put on nowadays.......too bad, it was a great concept n they just blew it, anyway its a badass song

[gijoe989]

i love zz top rough boy gijoe989.

[SK70Ply340]

Billy Gibbons to me is one of the greatest guitarists ever!

[ThrashRoC]

@SK70Ply340

he is one of the top 50 guitarists , that is VERY good !

[MrLambo420]

@SK70Ply340 agreed!!!!

[iain399]

By comparison, Steve Vai or Michelangelo Batto or whoever, playing twenty seven million notes on guitars with eleven necks can only make songs which are instantly forgettable. ha, yay for ZZT

[Chuckousley]

One BITCHIN song that will be second to NONE for rock ballads EVER!

[MsAinemaire]

A great little song.

[hammerbs3]

When MTV played REAL MUSIC...

[rich70582]

One of my favorite tunes of all time.Billy Gibbons is such an awesome guitar player and this song although based in Blues is proof to how versatile of songwriters these guys are.

[JerkedChickenfan]

I almost forgot that the M in "MTV" stood for music

Now it stands for mediocre

[OgreProgrammer]

@JerkedChickenfan Or perhaps melodrama.

[MegaSmily1234]

@JerkedChickenfan now it stands for MOOcrap . i could have just said bullshit , but no M to start

[13inchpenis69]

i got no idea what I have just witnessed....but all I know it was awesome, the riffs the sensuality, the singing heads....I love you zz top!

[Ulvejenta]

I have no idea why, but this musicvideo used to scare me when I was little. I grew up with ZZ Top and we had a VHS of the greatest hits and this was one of the musicvideos on it

[andelix1961]

Sehr guter Sound ............. !

[Hot80s]

excellent shit & please dont mention these new so-called artists please. tks.

[justfine77777]

What a guitar riff!

[TheBayern64]

one of the best videos ever

[peaeye29]

Man I miss MTV

[esma123ful]

SO GREAT SONG AND VIDEO SPOT...

[crazyunclerex59]

Saw them in San Francisco at the Cow Palace Fandango Tour, Ted Nugent was the lead band, Jesus what a show. Then in 1985?(it was a haze back then) They sold out Reunion Arena 4 nights got so lucky to get 2 tickets, what a fucking blast that was.

[Medi1966]

great song......Guitarsolo....famos!­!

[rkas79]

Such a good video. a great classic one, better than today's video's because i don't want good looks swinging with their tits and ass!! if i wanted that i look at my girlfriend in the bedroom and get more!!!

[SF71b26]

@ ancele007, you probably meant One of the best songs I've ever beard

[Tarfy]

Heard it twelve years ago and still lovin' it.

[kalungarocker]

I love ZZ Top. This solo Is very emotional, reminds me Boston's songs.

[Maciekuc]

this great video was best of '90 mtv contest.

[drewper73]

Mid 80's ZZ Top! It's a good song, but it's a little dated sounding. It was the 80's and they wanted to keep their music popular. You can't blame 'em for that. Great melody and chorus.

[tadek195409]

nogi są...

[fayeyeager]

One of the greatest songs ever... IMHO.

[1991pengguangyi]

美妙的吉他声

[Mona1979ism]

Mikor táncolunk rá?????Szeretlek kicsim<3

[AndrewDeLong]

One of the better songs out there. ESPECIALLY by today's standards......if you can even call what we have today "standards"

[jorgerheredia]

@AndrewDeLong ... You sound like your father! think about it!

[AndrewDeLong]

@AndrewDeLong No, I sound like someone that has an appreciation for honest to goodness music. Something that takes some heart and soul to create. Not the shit we have today, that's manufactured en mass to please a crowd with ever fleeting tastes.

[Hexxxer76]

Best song forever !

[TheGilson975]

EXCELENTE!!!
