ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons interview

[SlickVega]

Billy seems like the coolest dude there ever was

[stratcatavarious]

Guitarist extraordinaire

(lead singer 1 of 2 )

[MrDzhimbo]

I suspect a million dollars would be chickenfeed to Mr. Gibbons. They should have offered him a mint 59 Les Paul instead.

[ClusterFugue]

I've been a fan of his longer than probably 50% of the people who end up here have been alive, but I still end up liking him a little bit more just about every time I hear or read about him or see him on video. He is just always cooler than the other side of the pillow. How many people manage to have careers as long and successful as his with like zero publicly visible drama or scandal? Awesome guitarist/musician and apparently a nice guy too! My hat's off to ya my good man. Have Mercy! :D

[R0cknroll4ever]

@ClusterFugue I got to cook patty melts for him and his lemo crew one time. He signed my guitar and walked around the resturaunt with a note pad that said "the boogy man" on it, and gave everyone autographs. He's a really cool guy.

[sodiewo8]

Dude fuck gillette... What a shameless cry for attention trying to make billy gibbons sell out for his iconic facial man bush. Im glad he turned them away, Their shitty razors wouldve probably gone dull on the first stroke anyways.

[sniperfxxx]

total class there boys and girls.....that is what r and r should be about.....ooorah!!

[vatti902]

wow, billy is the man.

[wazziboy]

If i had to mess with someone in this video, it have to be Billys lifeguard.

[niptodstan]

What a gent.

[chooseyourblues]

Billy's a legend. You can tell he's thinking who the fuck is this lady but he's still as nice as pie and gives her all the time in the world. Southern Gentleman.

[DaltonGrados]

he took off his sunglasses!

[BrendoGames]

who the fk is he

[doku66655]

@BrendoGames

Billy Gibbons.

[Ajskould]

@BrendoGames

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!

[testar2]

Billy Gibbons playing at "The Zeitgeist Media Festival"!! Yeah!! :) Great!

[smiffy1071]

First time I've ever seen him without the sunglasses.....but what a nice guy!

[hillfolkloki996]

Yaaa How the hell did he get that freakin hat

[bogey2856]

i love billy he has done it the right way and still is me and mine respect zz top so much hell i'd take a bullet 4 him ok ok maybe a rubber bullit

[bitemenow609]

One of the top 10 guitarists in rock history... If you dont know find out. Great guy too.

[TheMichaelseymour]

billy is next years fashion.

[TheRealFake00]

Guy in the background looks like he needs to go to the toilet... bad...

[UcanbeGOD]

Thats a smoooooth motherfucker. 

[cosg9531]

Always seems that the most genuinely talented people are the most decent and down-to-earth. What a most gracious guy, is the Reverend Willie G.

[pjaylett]

Great guy, great band.

[PIMPbroadcaster]

@pjaylett great beard.

[AndrewDeLong]

His beard says bad ass.....but his attitude says he's just a cool guy. IMHO, that's a win-win combo.

[smousse42]

Very, very nice guy Billy :)

Like this state of mind ^^

[firehorseusa]

THE MEN WITH THE BLACK GLASSES CAN REVIEW YOUR MIND AND THE PROGRAMM IS IN THE MUSIC SO BE CAREFULL

[BIGTHUNDER79]

What a nice guy!

[MrWhitescarf]

Lead singer hahahaha he is lead guitar not singer (although he does sing)

[cfl2005]

@MrWhitescarf actually he does both. Although he does share sing duties with Dusty Hill. 

[MrWhitescarf]

@cfl2005 Yeah sure but he is not lead singer is he? Except a few song la grange <3

[cfl2005]

@MrWhitescarf Actually he sings and writes the majority of the songs. His voice is in the Bass range and is considered one of the widest ranges ion rock music. E flat1 to E flat 5

[dustyflair]

@MrWhitescarf BILLY IS ZZ TOP!!!

[vegardertilbake1]

billy is such an gentleman

[tylersho98]

Met him before, he was wearing the same cap

[dustyflair]

@tylersho98 as he has said no one wants to see a bald old man...He's truly a gentleman!!!

[mattyg1060]

Removes his sunglasses to talk to the lady at :47. Once a southern gentlemen, always a southern gentlemen.

[627257stingray]

super cool, super laid back,the real deal right there

[av8er140]

is that a body guard in the back???

[14CLYD]

I wonder what kind of shampoo he uses on his beard

[yamimakaiz]

@14CLYD his beard prefers beer

[edwardsverige]

IF YOU LOOK UP COOL IN A DICTIONARY

[SIRONEDRAGON]

very cool : )

[TheGuitarpickman]

love that band 

[TheGuitarpickman]

<3 them

[unholyimage]

If my beard was famous and someone offered me a mill to shave it, I'd be growing a new beard every year!!!

Clearly raised to be respectful.

[unholyimage]

If my beard was famous and someone offered me a mill to shave it, I'd be growing a new beard every year!!!

[discocreator76]

What a lovely guy!!!

[jp6l6]

A super good guy !

[ischtivan]

Reverend Willie G. Pure class

[Sadist102]

That guy in the background is constipated or something?

[ThaPhenomKid]

@Sadist102 haha, I think that's his body guard and he's eyeballing everything that moves

[2010nerazzurri]

first time ive ever seen a famous person who wears sunglasses actually take them off when speaking to the interviewer

[Booda35]

What a class act

[pbdaytona]

What a great gentleman

[keepingthebeat1989]

I havent heard such bad sound quality since I was 14 and on AOL dialup

[keith91778]

@keepingthebeat1989 oh dear god. Better than web world

[shelleyinthecity]

A very down to earth rock and roll star. 

[fazialpalmierung]

Whats that?! The sunglasses arent his real eyes!

Really nice normal guy, as it seems. 

[timteddytitan00]

where can you getone of those hats no really answer and just to get your attention SADJFHLAJKSDHLFAJKSDHLFAJKSDFH­ASJKLDFHLAJKSDFHLANJKSDHFLAJKS­DHFLAJKSDFHLAJKSDFHLJK AHLJKDFHAJKSDH FLAH FJKAH LSDKJH F  HASDJKFHALJKSDFHLAJKSDHFLKAJHS­DFLJKAFHL;D

[TheTwistedKIM]

wow...talk about a bodyguard who knows his place.....(camera view)

Anyways, Billy is great guy...., honest and with both feet on the ground.

Peace.

[H057IL3]

Wow, he has eyes!

[isoperuna2]

Wheeee. where you can get beards like that ?

[jman2348]

Hm he seems like a nice guy

[rockinredneck57]

@jman2348 Very nice and very gracious. I'd say he won a new fan!

[redrheino]

Who's that ugly nervous guy moving like a moose

[yonigga223]

@redrheino My guess is bodyguard.

[isoperuna2]

@redrheino

you .

[mrclean67]

good job the Chief didn't eat Billy

[mrclean67]

that guy is class

[mrclean67]

that guy is class



[kasponya]

Cool dude - notice how she doesn't even mention his legendary guitar playing, just refers to him as "lead singer"..... typical non musician stuff. It's always just about the singer. I remember asking some woman if she liked The Rolling Stones and she answered: "Oh yes, he's so great!". My answer: "He? Last time I checked there were 5 of them!"

[ericco79]

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT TO THE CHIEF!

I love his expressions, and what a gentleman, and great story.

[isoperuna2]

@ericco79

you took the words out of my mouth :D

[stargate669]

@isoperuna2 hmm sounds like meatloaf!

[bscfo1]

Billy's cool - no ego at all. Just a nice guy who just happens to be a great musician.

[djtall23]

i wish he was my grandad

[8484terry]

the storys he could tell....

[grenadeserenade]

The 3 people who dislike this work for Gillette.

[lenerenify]

wrere is the coment? i move it

[Eunoterpsiac]

Yeah...it's amazing that The Rev. has been this cool for so long. You'd think he would get tired of people asking about the hat and stuff...but nope. I just saw the boys at the Snoq. Casino last Sunday night...great show...always great.

Someday, I'd LOVE to get Billy to sign my vintage Alamo guitar. (Ya listenin' Rev ?!)

[lenerenify]

you might faa meg up martends and swopp m otre

[lenerenify]

i think she wants your hat

[PunisherPlaythroughs]

A class act all the way!

[Cruusher]

Is that his bodygaurd standing there? I bet it is.

[lenerenify]

bli hvit m brfgitte lost intime

[lenerenify]

have you aever seen him painting he coulgd with some danger go to prison for you aor

god in hell is im letting the gays down hell instead of prison

[lenerenify]

hallo i csan  see it s you should i look fo r you

[rubbersole79]

I wanna be like Billy Gibbons

[VWSven1]

Sehr Natürliche Lache ;-) 2:40 min

[CrazyNative4]

billy is cool!

[EvilAL13]

Billy is the man.

[dannyodoul]

Billy Gibbons is a real gentlemen - I met him at SXSW on the first day of the convention in the hallway - and I introduced myself and asked why he was there - and he graciously answered that he just came down to help out - and he could not have been more genuine or nicer.

[SuperSlouis]

come on you nutters - he just came back from 'the john' with his mminder and was accosted by this BBC woman!! ;been a leaky, tribe

[koshiaru]

@canadian9596 You sir are the one who is not a gentleman. You shouldn't generalize a whole region for a stereotype. I live in the Volunteer State, and if you aren't a gentleman yourself ,we won't waste our time on you. If you are kind and friendly to us, we are to you. It Sounds like you have been to Jackson county, they are rednecks there.

[ctyuang]

The guy behind is his bodyguard? Because he looks like he can't hold his shit anymore....

[micmoable]

Billy is one talented guitarist----AND HE'S FROM TEXAS!!! THE LITTLE O BAND FROM TEXAS------ALRIGHTY THEN!!!

[mddeadfan]

zz top way cool. read where while on tour they ran into stranded motorist in montana or great other american state n invited them on their tour bus n helped them out. turns out motorist were zz top fans. nice! love 2 have been on that bus.

[dilbert103]

@mddeadfan stranded motorist? or diabolical genius who devised a plan to get invited to hang with the coolest southern rock band around? i think i see what went on there... :L

[hillarychapman1]

"I like your hat" lol

"That's the chief"

Love Billy

[funkyjones]

What a class act.

Genius.

[onetime504]

BFG is the man

[BlueBarrier782]

nothing cooler on earth than zz top

[litaford12]

He took off his CHEAP SUNGLASSES haha seem these guys saturday

[vdarek]

good men

[saxby01]

Is the big bloke behind trying to get his face on tv?

[sweetguitars]

@saxby01 probably a bodyguard

[otto1776]

Dam! He's cool!

[stratmentalist]

What a nice bloke

[deeeiviz]

judios cabrones

[SuperSlouis]

the 'i been a leek e tribe' not bad...

[sweetguitars]

he's got more dough than the government but he is totally a beer and taco guy, major cool dude, all of them are...............

[Zeamond]

Bitch learn how to speak.

[overandout58]

what a polite man... a treat not to see a rock star up their own arse....

[williyful]

cosa è fatto il tipo sullo sfondo

[rockinredneck57]

@canadian9596 I live in the South as well, born and raised. Most of the Southern boys I know if not all the time, can be gentlemen when they need to be. They like to be just good old boys, but when the need arises, can change in an instant. One little thing too, Colorado is not a "Northern State". It's Western. It's a cowboy town, and those manners originated in the south, where the cowboys originated from. There are true southern boys, and then there are ignorant rednecks. True anywhere.

[quaiderz]

What a gent!! I love the way he respectively looses the iconic shades eventhough there's a camera running. You gotta love him!

[leesomerset]

What a charming and lovely guy. I'd let him buy me a pint any day.

[PigskinMafia]

that fat ass in the background is an annoying dickweed

[fedyapolotno]

Слышь это ты чмо и ублюдок ебаный, хуйлан, сука конченая.

[stevieb6966]

great band and a absolute gentleman as well ,all it can do is make you love the band even more

[zachaqsw]

fuck you mother fucking proggresive i see enough of your shit on tv you stupiid motherfuckers fuck off

[yipp88]

Billy G, of course, seems like a very cool guy

but I can't help but wonder how long that hat is gonna hold up- it seems he's been wearing it daily for years now- onstage, etc. Does he wash that thing?

[trey333333333333333]

press F5 to skip ads

[Elly0529]

love his voice..so powerful when he sings but tender when he talks........how nice

[ponyyak68]

If the tribe /chief were smart they would market those hats. Thats for the video, I love it. now I know the rest of the story..

[bluestreakbuck]

Absolute cool and classy guy

[beastsoldierman]

i met Billy at the Galleria here in Houston. man hes awesome. he was on his way to Starbucks

[bingbling]

A legend & a true gent.

[Squank63]

When have you ever seen Billy without his shades on? What a true southern gentleman, takes them off to speak with a lady. Great story.

[YouSpamTard]

how can a woman, well actually any person, be it a man or woman, be so dang silly and stupid?

[2READYCRETE]

Alot of Texans can be loud and arrogant, Billy Gibbons seems like a real guy, I like him alot

[tattooshopjunkie]

@2READYCRETE i dont know the texans you are talking about.. most of us are laid back and just quiet country people.. even in the big cities, were laid back.. yes, were opinionated when we think we are wronged, but show me a state that isnt.

[hazor777]

@tattooshopjunkie : Ga. boy here : We got yer back Texas, love ya'll !! Keep'n it real in Texas , and we love ya fer it !! Hell, Texas is where the "holdouts" of the Civil War went to, b/c they knew there's good people in Texas!

[2READYCRETE]

Alot of Texans can be loud and arrogant, Billy Gibbons seems like a real guy, I like him alot

[bogertheogre]

that ladies and gents is why he is one of the best

[baggiewon]

Billy for Ambassador!or Prez??

[matt78tv]

Great guy. I love the rough boy music video and I'm wondering does he do the vocals?

[Flytym]

Bill Gibbons is the coolest!

[fjanton83]

Haha, great man.

[papersoulja27]

thats cuz the bodyguard i coked up

[Danith]

Great Video, notice how his bodyguard looks bored as crap lol.

[mrbooties]

what a gent, he did not know her from adam but gave the the time to talk about the hat, always wondered where it came from

[lookingforfun70]

Removes his shades, and kisses her twice. A true gentleman.

[robertjohnson487]

Body guard could be a little more cultured... But Billy was a gentleman.

[xplanes4u]

He reminds me of Yosemite Sam! In any case, Billy Gibbons is a great guitarist!

[Bodzioooo13]

bodyguard is the second plane hero :D

[disturbedsucks123]

@CodieL1982 Why don't you try sticking your head up your ass and see if it fits.

[Brian77TX]

NO SHIT!!! And after he tries that....nail his scrotum to a stump and push him over backwards!!! LMAO!!!

[ffairlane57]

@CodieL1982 , Billy Gibbons has a successful career making millions doing what he loves most, and he has his own personal style that he's know for. His life is probably a hoot.....and yours? you sound kind of bitter. Were you abused as a child?

[moonrunner777]

Awesome

[Yildirim4021]

Great fellow, your one of a kind BILLY.

[redhard16]

Billy rock

[meadz4]

why does she pause for ages in the middle of sentences to try make sound better?

[donottawaguitar]

hello billy!

[DaveStep123]

shes a terrible reporter lol

[Deadfreeeak]

The real deal.

[RcUniverseGuy]

such a cool guy gotta have the best personality out of most of the famous people ive seen

[Anon1696]

Hah, he's so cool.

[thegreatsatan]

Billy Gibbons is a prophet.

[clairemiller5]

what a great and funny guy! Love him loads!

[simonate1]

Great guy. not at all arrogant although he would have every reason to be.

[8Eriquo8]

hmm first time i've seen him w/o sunglasses

[Aku666Torres]

I met him last night at a fashion show in my town, and he's just a very generous person, and very cool!

Got an autograph, but restrained from asking for a pic as he was obviously pretty busy.. i was thankful for an autograph!

[p0llenp0ny]

What a cool guy.

And everybody just relax about the interviewer.. she's obviously just somebody's granny. =P

[rsangoi]

Behind gibbons' beard there is in fact another beard. Bigger 'n stronger than the old one.

He's style in person. I bet he'd already banged that interview woman.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[gerrixx]

Billy Gibson is a class act; he's personally raised a lot of money to keep the Mississippi Delta Blues Museum going. <3

gxx

[SuperOxideDimutase]

I like the bodyguard; checkin ev'rybody out.

[Benballin2]

god he's so cool. he seems like a really chilled person. i'd love to meet him. such an influence.

[hakksaw]

Has there ever been a cooler band than ZZtop? Come on Billy, we all know that cap was made by a small child in Viet Nam, but the background story of how it came to be is what makes you the best ever. Nice work man!!

[weirdotis]

Southern rock? Stupid limeys.

[DanyNicola]

Lead singer?!

[gorgolbutt]

Hahah, the thug behind Billy has obviously snorted one or two lines too many.

[karlprades]

The man behind : dickhead
