ZZ Top Jesus Just Left Chicago

[despotzapper]

Yes Jesus maybe was in Chi Town! an appropriate myth for a mythical figurehead

[hankwhite122]

Have you ever been to Chicago??!! I have and I seriously doubt whether Jesus has ever been there!!!!

[roosdad1]

thank you ZZ top for bridging the gap between rock'n'roll and blues in my life.....plz take me with you jesus

[s743bd]

[GYPSYSILVERMAN]

[CrystalResonator]

@TheGokufriki Sssshhhhhhhh.....

[altoona701]

Chicago what a town and ZZ top best fuckin band

[jjaaccoo]

Everyone thinks Jesus is playing lead guitar here, sorry he's not,

Jesus is on bass, as it's steady as a rock and right behind you, it's up to

play lead.

[Syzygy60]

muddy water turn to wine

[Syzygy60]

most definitely



[applebutterbaby42]

I just ate my own shit.

[bluejay55118]

I can hear Bon Scott must have been influenced by ZZ Top. I've seen others mention "The Jack" but also, listen to "Ride On" by AC/DC and you'll hear it too.

[OBGillis]

@bluejay55118 sounds exactly like "Ride On"

[FreddyGuy925]

@OBGillis

No, "Ride On" sounds like this.

[fatman7686]

AC/DC... ZZ Top... all kicked-up-a-notch blues rock! Don't bicker on who was first... just enjoy!

[bulseye111]

This is a very common blues beat. Jeez people relax, it's all good music in the end! :D

[Foxsora]

AC/DC The Jack same beat

[unahaklosp]

@Foxsora 12 OVER 8 Bro . Standard stuff

[stucruise1]

@unahaklosp why complicate life. seemed to work over there 30 years plus selling millions. We're an un-complicate breed here in the west, where u from.? greece.

[kariofcal]

saw them last night w lynard skynard in hidalgo tx they tore it up

[ThrashRoC]

ZZ Top , Just aDamm cool Texas Blues Band ...The Best !!

[albatross7677]

Best song on Tres Hombres

[unahaklosp]

@albatross7677

Couldnt agree more...

[GuitarRock6]

Does the fender blues junior can have the tone of this album ?

[phil21469]

legends ........zz top

[jimej0425]

Jesus left Chicago because it was too corrupt. Thanks to Obama and crew. MMM,MMM,MMM!!!

[landcaster11]

@jimej0425 If anyone needs help its New Orleans, They are still feeling the effects of hurricane Katrina.

[ke1mc2]

@jimej0425

Well that was a really stupid post to a classic ZZ TOP song.

[juninhuyoung91]

AC/DC - Ride on ²

[CelticBadBoyPoet7]

The Definitive ZZ-Top...X-Generation Wanna Be Musician Bitches, Take Notes!!!!!!!

[nitroangus23]

Fact:

Tres Hombres was one of Bon Scott's favorite albums.

*and If you don't know who Bon Scott is,shame on you.

[Lufttygger306]

I had a hard time deciding to take this or Master of Sparks on to my playlist, but i took this. It needed a bit more blues.

[Jessieboo1991]

Love this song sooo freaking much!

[1971SuperLead]

I feel so safe and nostolgic when I hear this song. What I would do to be able to hang around the studio when this was being recorded.

[xylsplat]

ride on is slightly slower in tempo than this, but either are great tunes and stand on their own. if you like the blues you loves either song... just saying

[702neonboy]

never been to Mississippi but now i want to bath in its river

[timberghstt]

@702neonboy : don't open you eyes or your mouth, and better get a full series of vaccinations first, depending on where at in the river you jump in.

[kinglear2009]

There's alot of soul in this jam! I love it! ")

[JimmyyoJimmy]

I love this song, and riff, so I'm not disagreeing with anyone who's saying that AC/DC copied Ride On....however, this is a pretty classic blues riff. ZZTop got it from Muddy Waters, who got it from some other guy etc.etc.etc. It's the nature of the blues. What makes it great is how each artist puts their own spin on it. ZZTop rock the shit out of this song, and AC/DC do just as well with Ride On. Both great songs, so don't worry about comparing or saying who stole what from who...just enjoy :)

[LabelBob]

Bassman!

[MrPeak111]

I was born in 1978 and man.. I remember my father's good friend from years before i was born(they still ride their harleys all over the country together. talk about a great friendship! :D) listening to this album when i was a youngster. Been hooked ever since. +1 for uploading

[TheRocknrollredneck]

zz top is one of the greatest american bands ever, and jesus just left chicago is one of there greatest songs

[geetarman67]

Church is now in session...Jesus just let chicago from rev. billie

[LabelBob]

Love those old Fender tweed amps

[kidrodeo]

put that in your pipe and smoke it.......

[oldpro1977]

AC/Dc rip this off as "Ride On" check it out.

[flyboy1910]

One word....AWESOME. Seen these guys multiple times and they've NEVER disappointed.

[Sweeper5]

I always dug Billy Gibbon's vocals. Different and so earthy, if you know what I mean. Unique in his vocals, his guitar playing...hell, everything. Whole damn band is great if you ask me.

[Leather111]

they ain't no school like the old school!

[TheSillystranger]

"You might not see him in person, but he'll see you just the same." ;)

[kidrodeo]

hey ehhhh great 3 cord

[tallorder9]

ZZ ROCKS!

[deeznuts1776]

ZZ man...

[bigdaddy0228]

amen zztop

[SupernalOne]

some memorable lines: "muddy water turned to wine" -- and everybody's favorite: Take me with you, Jesus!!" - that's a line you can say, and mean -

[submersibledave]

TAKE ME WITH YOU....JESUS!

[kristand56]

i made some mistakes in my life ZZ wasnt 1 semper fi

[nponline]

Amen!

[jimmyboy131]

I LOVE this song! The first time I heard it I was riveted to the radio speakers, thinking "wow, now THIS is how blues rock should be done!"

[dredayak18]

and " i need you tonight" reminds me of "night prowler".

[ltuomela]

top shelf! just great man..

[lionstanding]

Pre-Deguello TOP is THE TOP. Sadly, this band have been nothing but a comedy act since 1980....not the band Hendrix said 'had the best guitarist in America'....Dusty, Billy, Frank...YOU'RE TEXANS, BY GOD....you have a commitment based on your lineage to DO IT HEAVY....TO THE UTMOST...better COME HOME, boys. AGAIN, I beseech you, as a NATIVE SON- GET HEAVY AGAIN...It's in ya and it's got to come out!

[third3ye024]

FINALLY I HAVE FOUND THIS SONG... IT TOOK 2 YEARS BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT..FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG

[Esmael8]

ac/dc - ride on

[Ledzep69Man]

@Esmael8 Are you that stupid? This song was made in 1973 and that was made in the late 70's.

[nitroangus23]

Both good songs though,

Love me some ZZ Top and AC/DC

[ACDCFan15Swe]

@Ledzep69Man Maybe he wasnt talking about which song was made first but that Ride On pretty much has the same chird patterns, both great songs in my opinion

[jdssurf]

@Ledzep69Man dang Mr Angry

[clayfrd]

@Ledzep69Man I think he was just drawing a connection, and I think both are more or less just odes to the blues tunes of yesterday. No need to get all mad about a YouTube comment. Both songs are good.

[nerdflanders8710]

@Ledzep69Man sounds like ride on

[holidayhouse03]

@Ledzep69Man

AC/DC...Ride On...released in Australia in Sept 1976

just sayin it wasnt the late 70's....just later that ZZ Top

[vicecitylocal]

@Ledzep69Man Let's be nice, now.

[vicecitylocal]

@Ledzep69Man try MID 70's. '76 to be exact.

[Arnold1117]

@vicecitylocal Actually, one could view anything after the midway point of something as as "late". So really, saying late 70's isn't that inaccurate. Since '76 was in the later part of the decade.

[vicecitylocal]

@Arnold1117 right you are. never thought about it in that way. thanks :)

[joscofe]

@Ledzep69Man Oh come on now. Neither of them copied each other, they were both just using a classic blues form. Their a hundreds of songs with this feel.

[balkonas1]

@Ledzep69Man

it's just sounds similar.

[emperormick1]

@Ledzep69Man

I think he meant that this is where AC/DC got their concept.......easy there, brother.......

[Kirkatron713]

@Ledzep69Man Are you that stupid? Ride On was made in '76.

[lola9343]

@Kirkatron713 Easy, or I will cuff you and beat you, then take you to jail myself.

[Kirkatron713]

@lola9343 Don't threaten me with a good time!

[ACDCFan15Swe]

@Ledzep69Man 1976 to be exact, I like both songs but AC/DC is obviously my favourite band. Rock on mate

[naviguesser21]

@Esmael8 its the same chords but it changes in the middle after the solo

[drquesadilla]

@Esmael8

This came out years before that, smart one

[ltuomela]

@Esmael8 ya know it does have the same rhythm lines...lol..ha,now that i compare them..

[taipan0187]

@Esmael8 : Yes, it does sound similar to "Ride On" but it's 12 bar blues, man. Basic blues rhythm guitar accompaniment.

[vfgjhj]

@Esmael8 Yeah, you're right. AC/DC copied ZZ Top, good find dude!

[96Daniel1]

@Esmael8 it does sound similar but this song was recorded before

[evanmink1]

@Esmael8 Yes I Remember the beat from Maximum Overdrive!

[GuitaristForHire1]

@Esmael8 Almost the same song bro

[GuzzistaJoe]

Brilliant tune, brilliant album, nice one!
