[fistchips]

@SuperDickstein The rhythm track is a les paul but the lead is a strat in the middle pickup position..

[johnnyghee]

there wasn't a single bad song on this album. used to rock the hell out of it when i was a freshman in high school; still have it. their later stuff was made-for-the-masses pop.

[Tacomadome24]

Kicks fucking ass!

[jgrogan02]

for me this was the time that this band ruled the world

a texas shaped stage, long horns, buzzards, and steers roasting along side the stage. It was called a texas size barn dance. Nashville raceway Oh by the way there was this new band opening up maybe youve heard of um FUCKIN LEONARD SKYNARD. Back when concerts left a impression and not just a hundred bucks

[jgrogan02]

for me this was the time that this band ruled the world

[tallpaul881]

I was once listening to my local radio station, when whoever the jackass WAS, that 'began' to play The Master of Sparks, suddenly interrupted it, saying something like: Sorry, folks, but that's NOT what we meant to play! You just lost ME as a listener, you lousy radio people! That was one of the very BEST songs you've ever heard, and you just killed it.

[Zigster38]

By the time they done get to 1:58, you jes feel like breaking a beer bottle over somebodys' head...

[mdwoods100]

@Zigster38 HAHAAHA I love it

[dawggybonz]

it could happen to you and you could be a fool too

[garycgraffeo]

I know that the good Rev Willy G played a Gibson on the stage . BUT>>> that's a Fender strat you here here.

[dragon21247]

[vanbot1]

[stringz63]

[stringz63]

[steamy93]

one of the best rock songs of all time

[powerkor]

sounds like some speaker alteration to get that fuzzy sound - any truth to that ?

[herman58100]

Yea had this 8 track in my old 64 Galaxie 500 damn near all the time, take me back..........lol.

[yankeefan1961]

Best album put out by this trio. This awesome, strange music came from my across-the-street neighbor's house and it just lured me over to the crispy, awesome sound that is ZZ Top! Learn to love it brothers and sisters.

[TheLonndogg]

this song grabs u and dont let go

[allhailrussell]

@TheLonndogg kinda grabs ya by the poopoo

[Th0masBivens]

their best song, in my humble opinion

[LesSmith45]

To finish my comment. We would toss the cap of the jug and drink that shit straight! Wanting to finish it before we got to Olympia. We would take the long way. WE WERE JUST 16! We would rock this album out big time windows down, doing the slow cruise all fu^%ed up being real cool! He was the only kid in our class that had his own ride and i was his buddy. We had so much fun. I am amazed that we never got caught and are alive today. This song always takes me to that summer of 77. Different world

[LesSmith45]

You all know the feeling of whenever you hear a certain song you snap back to a different time and place. Mine is back in 1977. I was 16 and a sophmore in HS. My buddy is a native american and he had fishing rights. So at 16, he had cash! Well he bought this brand new 77 Dodge power wagon all tricked out. We would drive to Olympia 1/2 hr from our house. We would hang outside the liquor store. Get a someone to buy us a bottle of Black Velvet. Pour the Velvet! We would put on ZZ Top Fandango.

[freethinktherefore]

Get it Billy.

[TheRisingforce2000]

this badd ass music never gets old

[whiterabbit7406]

This was a true, " bake your brain to the tune", while hitting off the bottle and smoking reffers back in the day. It still buzz's mine today, without the carnage.

[SuperRanger43]

Oh My.......3 guys doin it Texas style

[SuperRanger43]

Oh My.......3 guys doin it Texas style

[MaceMn]

Smoked much dope listenin' to this 33.

[tallpaul88]

THIS kicks so-much a*s, it isn't even funny.

[jr55ful]

the national band of texas.

[pdm4pdm4]

gold

[ERICROBILLARD1]

rock!!!!

[freethinktherefore]

Billy -- on the pedal.

[jr55ful]

pure texas funk

[slvrfx55]

I saw them on the 4th of July 1976, Liberty Stadium,Memphis, Fantastic show. Started with The Outlaws, next was Blue Oyster Cult, Then Skynyrd and Just as the sun was going down ZZ Top took the stage and blowed everyone away!!

[usblues100]

I discovered this awesome song a month ago, and it is simply amazing. No wonder Jimi Hendrix said that Billy Gibbons was his favorite guitarist.

[The420Bomber]

ZZ Top before the beards and the 80's pop. Killer riffs, classic Gibbons guitar tone, and all out bad ass Texas blues rock. Thank God radio never caught onto this one to kill it through massive overplay, ala "La Grange" for the past twenty years.

[MaceMn]

@The420Bomber Yes, they sure sold out in their latter albums... the almighty buck ya know.

[oldjizzy]

@The420Bomber - I and my brother bought this sucker the day we saw it on our shelves.

[gibsonman121]

@The420Bomber Yep. Totally agree .... something about their early stuff that's nothing short of mesmerizing.

[richbonnie220]

@The420Bomber This is one fine piece of music that should be put away and only taken out on special occasions,like the silverware set Grandma kept in the hall closet !

[hogcontroller]

Ah, the long fade out.

[talpajam]

@hogcontroller Ah, the maracas...signature.

the are Strats & Les Pauls on this cut, btw.

[TheAceofmusik]

I gotta disagree they still put out great music after Fandango,El Loco and Deguello both Rocked.Tejas as well even though it`s the weakest of the great albums.

[raiders209norcal]

drink some beer and kick some ass

[Ramanizzler]

@raiders209norcal and im all out of beer

[niagaraorbust]

ya, ZZ were just way cool back in the day. Seeing them live , twice 75 77, Listen to this American Power Trio. Only the right kind of distortion. These Irish ears cherish good distortion on a electric guitar. Long live Fandango!!

[prometalguitar]

why new heavy metal bands on the radio?

[niagaraorbust]

Boys, ZZ is such a party animal band. One of the greatest live show back in the mid 70.s Just a shitload of fun. That is party USA.

[usblues100]

thanks for posting this. i had never heard this cool riff by ZZ Top before, and now I cant get it out of my head!

[pdm4pdm4]

nasty dogs and precious and grace are the best . but after the fandango album they made lots of money but no more classics. they went the route of aerosmith

[prometalguitar]

This brings great memories when I was about 14 years old. Excellient Billy Gibons and the boys From prometalguitar cool;x

[21sharon]

great album played the cover off this album in the 70's

[marjet]

essential listening. thank you.
