They all share the credit. There's not a hog on the attention. Must be the reason they've been so successful in their long carreer. They could easily write a few business books for colleges if you think about it.
I've got to see these guys play. It's in my bucket list. I grew up listening to this band. They've done nothing but "improve" thats for sure.What an American icon.
I wish I could afford tickets to see ZZ Top. Santa Claus, please, may I have 2 tickets and airfare to see ZZ Top? I've been good. If not, you tube and cds are still my friends. True art!
They're just badasses. Both of their voices complement each other very well...they trade off lines so naturally and seamlessly, it's great. ZZ Top has greatly contributed to my hearing lose over the years...love em.
..damn..yeah that wuz impressive..they kicked it in the ass..one guitar, bass n drums..switichin off lead vocals, lockin-into a drving rhythm...then Billy will sneak into lead gear n knock u out....thas tuff stuff..I like the song too..lol!!!
Gibbons kicks ass far more than Keef. Keef might be an artist, but Gibbons is a GUITARIST, and I don't agree, he's not in the same league as Richards.
Rev. Gibbons is on GODLIKE level, just like Hendrix.
this is the tone. anymore they sound a bit lame. i know--they are about 60 & the fingers may not be what they once were--voices too. this has the "zz" energy that i like. this should be out on dvd--at least a live show from this time period
@bettset This song plus 3 others (Gimme All Your Lovin, Sharp Dressed Mam, Tube Snake Boogie) are all released on a DVD that accompanies the newly remastered Eliminator CD, which I believe was re-released a year or two ago.
They actually played four songs - ending with Tube Snake Boogie - but only the first three were broadcast. I can see myself in the front row complete with hair!!
You just cannot beat that raw ' crunchy' powerful live small tight club scene rock sound ! This sounds SOOOOOOOOO much better than the big concert stage sound
listen to that guitar !!!! sounds like an angry chainsaw , the power, the fury and the skill of Gibbons , unbelievable. it has that classic distortion CRUNCH that is missing from the large concert formats
After watching this you can't say Billy's not a guitar god...frickin legend, and the boys are still rockin hard to this day at 60 just saw em and still put out a good show
in some ways you can say Gibbons was the ULTIMATE fusion of hard rock and blues guitar, There is NO ONE else out there that has his sound and ability to dance that fine line between both , and still rock out hard with a fuzzy distortion edge sound
Brilliant and People in the 80s ate it up big time, Obviously Gibbons Unique style and sound was the core of the band
@LifeRegenRevolution The "core" of the band was 3 equally brilliant musicians with a strong bond and similar influences (ie, a like mind). You can't pin it on Billy, as awesome as he is, because Dusty and Frank are each JUST as important. In this case, it takes 3 to tango (or Fandango).
Hell Yeah!, but the song is really called "Got Me Under Pressure".

Gibbons should be mentioned in the same breath as Richards, Townshend and Hendrix. One of the all time greats but somehow MASSIVELY underrated.
