ZZ Top - Just Got Paid

[MadSpectro7]

Searching for this song.

Justin Bieber almost immediately shows up at the top of the options bar.

Another reminder why I only listen to old music.

[MadSpectro7]

Swing and Funk, all a song really needs.

[oldjizzy]

Drums -- Bass and Fuzzy guitars. All a band ever needs.

ZZ baby.

[myguitardidyermom12]

had this shit on 8 track back in my 70 buick GS455. def a classic

[astrosfan339]

This song always gets me pumped on pay day! Love ZZ Top! Houston, TX baby!

[turdass71]

[1776Rosco]

This Kicks aZZ !!

[slothworthy]

it just keeps better with time !!

[bmojobg]

i heard this live and closed my eyes and i couldn't tell if it was live or memorex

[yoseewails]

thank you ☺

[shotoutNov1965]

[swlabr21]

Grap your money on payday and run because the slacker 'occupiers' want to grap a piece.

[swlabr21]

It is FRIDAY.

[nvader88]

[mdelair420]

@nvader88 Damn can i listen to a song with out all these political comments..I come here to leave it behind..Besides wake up and realize america is a non cohesive government who get nothing done but arguing with each others party.If they would put aside their petty name calling and do something for middle and lower class americai'd shit my self.I will never see it in my life time,,,they are assholes:D

[iKushTV]

@nvader88 hahah He spent the budget trying to get his wifes gumline straight. HAHAH

[HighfiveCJ]

2 people just got fired!

[djk28161]

From Friday Night Lights.......Solid Tejas and southern

[1ladydianna]

sounds like a Hendrix song

[swlabr21]

So much better than the f'd-up re-mastered crap.

[2brujoman]

A great old tune for the new Occupy Movement...you can have yours, just give me mine!!!

[bobbyozb]

Black sheep black have you got any wool?.....Yes i do man, my bag is full !!

[99mgfan]

Awesome song! MONTGOMERY GENTRY DOES A GREAT JOB TO,! I jus cant find it on here! :( .... TOMMY~T~......

[drockkclapton]

@99mgfan Agreed. I remember that country tribute CD. Frank Beard drives this one hard though. The guitar and bass feel unnaturally fast. I think it's cause they are trying to keep up with Frank. It works so freaking good.

[sobobacasino1]

thumbs if you found this vid cuz of rroades!

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

finally, i find this track with the original mix!

[mike57ify]

Billy Gibbons,what else can be saidd?

Texas Blues Rock Yeaaaaaa, ZZ Top/ Johnny Winter

[quicklern818]

ZZ makes timeless look easy

[apatheticempathy]

>>> MOST UNDERATED SONG BY THE TOP ~ ZZ ~ <<<

[martynmcgilvray01]

[apatheticempathy]

[rsm93]

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, pulling a toe with a 70' Chevelle SS on it.

[tcsk8er13]

[yourOpinionNotMine]

[tmg78ohio]

1 person loved this sng, but wanted to be the first dislike....

[nae8man87]

southern rock be da shit...

[GatorHeadz]

Sounds good Elaine, i know you are way up there, but this is the way we loved it. I miss you. Jimmy

[jfpOne23]

@Xianman06 You own the world and now you want ZZ? hahah...jk...These guys would have rocked fine in the Sinai as well~

[Xianman06]

Forgot to mention it, but Incogman.net is back up again, but better be quick.

[Xianman06]

Great tune. The Jew World Order lied to me so many times, it took me years to discover these kick-ass White guys. Glad I did.

[TreyLutrash]

The first concert I ever went to was ZZ Top right after this album was released .. Everyone was asking who the opening act on the ticket was? Who is Lynard Skynard? (everybody pronounced it Lienard Skynard")

[Ginyu]

@TreyLutrash lol..that's pretty funny:)yThat's what I thought when I first saw a skynyrd album:D

[baron8107]

@USgovernmentLies Both of you quit fighting or I'll flood your pages with spam for a week!

[Sweeper5]

@USgovernmentLies Did you belong to that "Heaven's Gate" thing a while back? You know, where they committed suicide in hopes of hitching a ride on the Hale Bop comet? Sounds like your kinda thing. Now leave me alone...no point in me carrying on this banter with an imbecile. I don't know why I continued the discussion, I just couldn't help myself.  heh

[baron8107]

@Sweeper5 Both of you quit fighting or flood your pages with spam FOR A WEEK!

[Sweeper5]

@USgovernmentLies Well, no I won't kiss your ass. And what was I wrong about...the red wine, or that the U.S.Govmt. drowned Hendrix in some red wine? And I'm not a retard, although that is questionable for you, sir. I read your nice comment you left on my page...that you wish I would die, and calling me an immigrant(???) So I took the liberty to visit your page also...kind of what I thought it would be. Alien scientists and shit. LOL!!! You have a good life, and seek counseling, dude.

[Sweeper5]

@USgovernmentLies You need help, seriously.Drowned with a bottle of red wine you say? hahahah. Do you think the government did that to him? If so, then you do believe it to be an assassination, just as I said. Assassinated by the USgov't; bottle of wine as a weapon. hahaha. How do you know it was red? You say this is "widely known among serious and down to earth fans". I've never heard such nonsense and I've been a Hendrix fan since before his death. Now stop it, you are embarassing yourself.

[hillfolkloki996]

1 person didn't get paid

[UniverseAndI]

1 person didn't get paid today.

[Sweeper5]

@USgovernmentLies You calling me a dumbass?LOL! You think Jimi Hendrix was assissinated by the US Govyt.? hahahahaha. Leave me alone,I won't engage in nutcase arguments; it's like me arguing that there is no Santa. Who's next on the hit list? Is Gibbons going to be assassinated too? hahahaha Is that why you came here, to warn him of the massive government assassination plot against ZZ Top. Wow man, at least have a little dignity and recognize how mentally imbalanced you are sounding.

[Sweeper5]

@USgovernmentLies What? That's just crazy.

[DarkRazorZ]

Good song, actually. Thanks Ghost.

[HappyRadio3000]

Ghost sent me here...again!

Also HAPPY BALLER FRIDAAAY!

[jwells3960]

[MrFixedBlade]

@jwells3960 change that 69 Goat to a model A with a decked out Flatty....

[58abbajimi]

@jwells3960 not the same sound at all..but might have been interesting. love both.

[Ramin2907]

[ironwolg]

[Th1sWasATriumph]

[rallylover00]

[tacosandpussy]

@rallylover00  good for you kiddo!

[snoogan55]

Im getting a job soon so i decided to listen to this song

[purfectmask]

I just got paid biatches! Hell Yeaaah! :D

[Sw1tchBladeMalone]

[aaron21392]

Mastodon covers this song... EPIC!!!

[larryzztop]

"When the hound dog barks in the back of the night stick my hand in my pocket

everythangs alright."

I stopped counting after seeing them 40 times. I hope to see them 40 more times.

My mom says I'm a groupie. I say I'm just a fan

[SlySquriel]

This is what I'm gonna sing today at my birthday party when everybody brings money instead of presents!

[megaladon73]

It is a crime against humanity as we know it that they haven't released the original mixes of the 1st album, Rio Grande Mud and Tejas.

[jiggajt1313]

def jus got paid, pocket full of change.

[th3Bl00dfu3l3d]

my anthem. the line i live by is "i was born my papas son when i hit the groun i was on the run"

[kj8636]

I was 15 and it was my first concert, ZZ Top's First Rompin Barn Dance and BBQ and it was insane, like ZZ Top and 50,000 friends, it was 1974 and every hippy in Texas was there. Awesome! Simply Awesome! Good times.

[j1mdown1ng]

Probably the greasiest slide solo ever recorded!

[ssurfcity]

This is, of course, the original album version. They never should have released the remixed, inferior version found elsewhere on youtube. Thanks!

[apatheticempathy]

@ssurfcity AMEN brother, this sounds -SO- much better. Can I buy his version id C/D form.

Bought the crap remix version C/D and Lordie, the sound quality just plain SUCKs !

How the hell could they butcher such a musical master piece ?

[dawnsal]

thanks... my teenage queen anthem!!!

[Zubin07]

YES.

[xr650r01]

One of the best riffs of all time - gets me every time!

[sabbathgodsofmetal]

sounds kinda like zepplin

[Scrimlip]

The Rolling Stone/Tonight Show quote by Clapton/Hendrix/Van Halen was allegedly really about Phil Keaggy, but nice try.  And yes...Keaggy IS the best. :o)

[bluskytrvlr]

Forst saw them in 75, orange barrel microdot and tequila and ZZ TOP, now that was how we rolled back then......

[backwoodsterrorist]

@bluskytrvlr fuuuuck yeah. you lucky son of a bitch

[dawnsal]

@bluskytrvlr Oh yess the reverb on the bass and the guitar always caused the best aurals!!!!you could feel them, of course clean orange barrel always helped...

[oneidafish]

@dawnsal do need to up the treble on computer speakers tho... my sound system doesn't compare to what was attached to that old turntable...

[SteveGaines]

This is off VINYL..Listen to this and listen to the REMASTERED CRAP...This is why all us old cats grew up on...THIS SOUND!

[freetruth2012]

Man, zz top is just nasty with it!!! love the old riffs!!! go boys go!!

[jesseharrington211]

@freetruth2012  vinyl ? wow

[mootle661]

and thus, the art of the riff reached peak it could never again top. ZZ TOP - Just Got Paid

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

[mukeenza]

here's another song that makes me think of helicopters and machine guns!

[mikekadas]

Thanks for the lyrics: Just Got Paid - ZZ Top [Houston, Texas] - 1972 - "Off their second album. Great guitar HOOKS by Billy Gibbons. Nice drums work. AMG pick. GOOD first impression on this Southern Rock song. They have a much better set of songs this time around, highlighted by the swaggering shuffle 'Just Got Paid.' " - Rancho Texicano: The Very Best Of ZZ Top [Disc 1].

[mistake111]

these "good ole boys" are rock 'n roll.

[apatheticempathy]

One of ZZ's most under rated songs ! 

Cruizing around in my 71 Challenger convert with the top down, ... jammin to this fine tunage.

Now thats living brother ...

[Luzzu17]

Bieber's fans don't know ZZtop ( 0 dislike )

[noclouds111]

This is a magnificent tune. It reminds me of their live concert sound from '73.

The bass is so cool @ 1:50 & the lead-harmony right after this is awe-inspiring.

These sounds were brand new back then. No one had ever played them before.

Thanks for posting from an album that people don't pay much attention to!

[JbsGebhart]

The rolling stones didn't put B.G. on the list because he is too good for their da*n list.

[62burnley]

Rolling stone wouldn't know their arse from a hole in the ground!

[pikiwiki]

these guys are SO good, they will be remembered for TIME IMMEMORIAL

[62burnley]

@ TheArbiter74! Couldn't have put it better myself!

[antimatter2380]

that's why the stones suck. bland, unoriginal, and 3 cord simplicity that lacks any meaning or feeling. 

[pikiwiki]

@antimatter2380 that's cos they ain't from texas

[apatheticempathy]

Buy a Muscle Mopar !!!

Gotta love a 71 Challenger R/T with THIS tune jamming out the 6" X 9" 's

Muther Fuckers ~

[PaskaMuuli]

This is the band of a working man, used to listen ZZ Top when i worked at the ye old factory. U get a certain rush of a feeling when u are bending, hacking and drilling steel and listening to zz

[shawneewarrior]

Little three piece band...amazing!!!

[shawneewarrior]

Apologies...the point is; this music is built for SPEED!!!

[shawneewarrior]

Had a 69' pontiac grand prix doing early 10's in the quarter, pulling the front off the ground...down in El Paso, Tx...went Winston some time later.

It must be in the blood, my son has an 04' focus svt, which he turbo'd, baby I tell ya what!!! that puppy scoots...lol

[shawneewarrior]

Chevelle ss 400cu, valves floated about 4grand, so we went super-charged 383 stroker pulling early 7s in the quarter, but nothing like 280mph plus down the stretch making air over the dips...gosh we were stupid then. lol This Southern Rock blazing.

[DUCKBMET]

You need a REALLY loud stereo, a 1964 Caprice Super Sport (427) doing about 140 mph, lotsa' speed, and lotsa weed (and some cold suds to wash it down.) Damn, long time gone.

[senorlemonbaconboy]

im lovin the BIG 0 DISLIKE

[TheArbiter74]

THE ORIGINAL MIX! The other mix that I've heard on the radio, and some of the remastested versions of Tres Hombres and Fandango are unlistenable as a result of how digitized the drums are. Brutal, sad shit. The radio commonly plays these versions often times. This version is how the bad-ass band we know as ZZ TOP, should sound. Frank Beard rocks! Al Jorgensen from Ministry, suprisingly was a huge fan of the drum sound of ZZ Top. Thanks for posting.

[MisterMasterShafter]

Oh yeah. The original mix. Nice to hear again. I've heard the original mixes of Tres Hombres and Fandango albums recently also. Music to my ears.

[SunnyDownSnuffRedux]

thank god you posted the original version and not that 'overly-reverberized' version.

this is the way it was meant to be heard from the original master tape.

good clean version - thanks again!

[RDNZL112]

@SunnyDownSnuffRedux I know what you mean about the 'overly-reverberized' version. where can find this version?

[GreenMagic89]

good stuff

[djwolf12]

makes me want to go to Texas, steal a 66 Mustang Fastback and do 140 MPH in the desert

[xorginalxgamerx]

@djwolf12 Ehh change the mustang to like a 71 chevelle hehe

[bonkaiblamo]

@xorginalxgamerx ehh exchange that chevelle for a 69' Camaro Deep blue with supersofts.

[eminem13001]

one of the songs i heard just found out in the summer just love the riffs are awesome

[TheSickness14]

1:29-1:34 is badass

[jfpOne23]

Hendrix said he wanted to jam with ZZ Top...how the phuck can you compliment them more? Could you imagine a Bleeker Street Bar with Hendrix sitting in on ZZ Top?

[longlivebytor]

@jfpOne23 Hendrix gave Gibbons a salmon pink strat just before he died.

[matkas1000]

I´ved played some covers of zz top, and the problem is, that Gibbons don´t play Guitare, he speaks guitare.It´s not from me, it´s from an interview with Frank Zappa.

[matkas1000]

[gibsongold1970]

rollingstone magazine sucks dirty ass.zz.top rocks the shit outta anybody! with ease.

[TheDman216]

Ohh yeaa

[mikkonevalainen]

I probably heard this for the first time about a month ago. Better late than never. This is a perfect song! So grooving and tight, yet laid back and easy.

[DerClunk]

This is the original, GOOD version. Not the fake "digitally remastered" bullshit version from the 80s.

Starting at 0:08 -- five of the most haunting seconds in rock music, ever. Early ZZ really had no peer.

[daviddpb75]

My first record fom ZZ Top Rio Grande Mud!
