Rhythm is similar to "I Thank You".. Slower, but has a deeper feel. Solo work is great, Drumming is there, not too much, and that's good stuff... Lyrics are classic ZZ Top. Great song. :)
I saw ths concert, when i was in high school. bought the shirt and...while i was out at "The Summit" in HOUSTON, TEXAS....My parents house burnt to the ground...rendering all my concert shirts into ashes..but, i proudly wore my Eliminator Tour Shirt to school the next day...It was the only one I had...
Bought this album when i was fifteen,think it was the fist album i actualy bought. Still one of the best albums to come out of eightees-the solo still gives me the tinglies,so cool
yeah awesome, every year, when the thunder storms come its now ritual to play this to the thunder and lightning. And in another 30 years when we're all flying in space, THIS is the track im playing when in low earth orbit.
Reminds me of being 14-15 and fighting over a girl on a long hot summers night, and listening to this album and especially this song into the wee small hours of the morning.
If god made music..........it would almost be as good as this!!! The guitar solos in this song will never be bettered. This song makes me "Wake Up With Wood"!!!
Some people think zz sold out with this lp. I'm not gonna lie I do like the 70's zz above the rest. But this lp rocks I need you tonight,t.v.dinners,bad girl best songs on lp. By no means did they sell out. Zz did what no other blues/rock band did or atemped to do and they made some the greatest song/sounds ever recorded! If theywere sell outs billy and dusty would have shaved beards for 2 million bucks.
@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME I have been asking that same question.I am not a fan of rap music.I am a fan of the old Motown and Stax label classics.Have you ever noticed only a few of the American Idol contestants go on to major success.Not only that country music is taking a beating for sounding more like rock than country in the early years.
Been a big ZZ Top fan for years. Saw them at Wembley in 2009 they were awesome. This song is superb. Moody aching vocals and guitars. The greatest guitar solos ever. You wont find a rock song these days with solos of this quality. I love the fact that just as you think the first solo is finishing and the next verse is starting the solo carries on! ZZ Top have made so many awesome songs. Gimmie All Your Lovin', Rough Boy, Pincushion, She's Just Killing Me, Punk Ass Boyfriend to name a few!!!
haaa....instant carma.....really good....i lost due to money all my guitars and equipment.a few years ago......today....the final part came....my dimavery....combined with a mustang1 amp....through an old analog hifi from the 80es....and its magic...combined with fender fuse and ableton live lite 8....well...what it is kid....its a small recording studio....
wonder if i could grow a beard like them , probably not .
those hot rods are cool, ive been in one, u should feel the power of them , i was in the back seat and they guy driving put his foot down and the thing goes beileve me.
@angryheavyriff Really ??.....ZZ Top put a CD out a few years ago called "One foot in the Blues"......A best of their blues numbers......This song is on that CD......I respect your opinion.....I can see why some would not consider this a blues.....Irregardless, it's one kick ass tune....One of the best.
I'll never forget the snorting curtain up the nose of king tuts head on the Afterburner Tour, what a show that was! That was the peak concert so far in my life!
25 years ago my heart was bleeding- missing my girlfriend and hearing this song. Today, these feeling are coming back in a second, I just have to hear this song again. I still love this music and loved my girl.
@Tekton62 I understand you remark about being a Texan my friend, but I don't think it matters where sounds like this are concerned. All of the great rock bands around the world got their inspiration from your american blues guys, like our own rolling Stones, Creme etc. Where would rock music be today without them? Where would the great guitar players and riffs have come from?. Blues was the greatest gift you guys gave the world and it will live forever. God bless America for that.
@xjrman270 Sorry did not mean to imply any arrogance , great music goes waaaay back before there even was a U.S.A.
Classical, aboriginal, dang just about everywhere they make any kind of music there has probably some music and style each of us would say' wow i really dig that sound.'
@Tekton62 Hi Tekton, I never thought you were being arrogant, apologies for giving that impression.
You sound like you have really studied this stuff. USA still has to take the credit big time for what the blues has done for music. Here in the U.K. all our rock and metal, born mainly in the heavy industrial Midlands has it's roots there. But you're right, there is something to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck in somewhere in most stuff. Have a good Xmas man.
hell brings back memeroies of driving a 1966 westmister up to hull passing Lincoln at about three in the morning just as it started to rain...irony that was about 25 years ago !.......sweet
It always makes me think of a "miami Vice" like tv show or movie. A car crusing around on wet streets, the driver looking for drugs, or his hooker. The detective close behind. This song needs a video. ZZ top has another chart topping album in them.
