I saw ZZ TOP last night!

[chuk hell]

Seeing ZZ TOP in Texas. I was standing there, watching the concert and I had to think to myself. ..self...I'm in Texas and I'm watching ZZ TOP...it really doesn't get any better than this!


They pulled out some old tunes like Francine and Brown Sugar. I was mighty impressed with those. Gibbons slide playing on JUST GOT PAID TODAY totally ruled the school. Not bad for a bunch of geezers who've been around 35 years.

[DevilDuck]

Sounds like a good show! They're coming here, but I can't seem to justify $65/ticket to see a show in the cheap seats.

[POTAWIE]

I seen them twice in the 80's and they were awesome. Those were big $$ tours with huge F/X and the music was excellent. You can't go wrong with ZZtop. Who else has a song about legs and one about tush. The funny thing is Frank Beard is the guy with no beard.

$65? Hahahahahahahaha! That's nothing!! I 've paid more than that to see Metallica, Aerosmith, and the Smothers Brothers. You want to see The Rolling Stones, try shelling out $250+ for a ticket. The good bands always demand more....which completely sucks.

Chuk, Billy Gibbons is the "Master of Sparks" fo' sho' on guitar.

IGG....Smother's Brothers? You're on drugs right?

Dick Smothers lives here in town. He's a riot to talk to. And all that money he's got and he drives around in a rusty '74 Ranchero.:shocked:

Now as for the Reverend, he's one of my big-time guitar heroes. I'd pay $65 to see him anytime!

Yes.

Wow, you are sooo lucky! My mom, dad, and myself snuck back stage at the show and talked with them. Dick hit on my mom infront of my dad, and it was hilarious.

[texas blues]

IGG ...I was kidding of course about the Smothers Bros. I didn't think they were around or doing anything anymore. Fact is, when I was a kid, we used to watch their TV show ritualistically. Mom always liked Dickie best, but Tommy was waaaaay funnier!

[Philipperv]

I grew up with Huey Lewis and the News and I still like them (laugh all you want). Paid $60 to see them in Vegas in the 90s (keep laughing). I am SO JEALOUS cause i never got to see ZZ Top!

Off the top of my head, P Diddy, Sisquo, 50 cent, Eminem, Biggie Smalls, Lil Kim, etc etc etc ;)

That last sentence was ironic, right?

Who the f**k are the Smother's Brothers?

[Sickmont]

I wouldn't exactly call their stuff "songs", per se.

[Shooty*]

OK, Spinal Tap: Big Bottom

[Sickmont]

OK, Spinal Tap: Big Bottom

What about Queen's "fat-bottomed girls"?

[Pam]

What about Queen's "fat-bottomed girls"?

But were they talking about girls or guys in drag?

[Pam]

Sounds like a good show! They're coming here, but I can't seem to justify $65/ticket to see a show in the cheap seats.

The last time Bruce Springsteen toured, the tickets were like $75. I went to his web site and sent a message that if he wanted to continue to consider himself a working man's hero, he needed to keep his tickets at a price that the working man - and woman - could afford.

Never heard anything back, though.

[Sickmont]

But were they talking about girls or guys in drag?

As gay as Freddie Mercury was, i'm pretty sure he was talking about women in that song.

[imaguitargod]

Just about the funniest, talented comic musicians of all time. They are brothers, and mother always loved Dickie the best. Check out this hilarious clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgwH-XngXKo).

[chilehunter]

mother always loved Dickie the best

I could say something but I wont :lol:


legs/tush heck what band doesnt make a song about those & sex ;) heck I'm sure 2livecrew had that market cornered :lol: check out "
banned from television" #2 or #3 ?

heres two good tracks "bartender" & "crazy legs" by H.E.D.P.E.

[POTAWIE]

ZZtop are classy. Tush and legs, not tits and ass.:cool: :cool: :cool:

[chilehunter]

potawie - dont get me wrong I like good'ol classy R'N'R but every now & then I like to listen to other music also. just like I cant eat just beef day in day out, same goes for listen to the same type of music day in day out, if I named some bands I listen to you'd go "how can you listen to those, its totally different kind of music" & I'd say "bingo" why would I want to listen to the same stuff day in & day out ?
PS I also like zztop. & to blow your mind I even listen to beethoven & celtic music etc......

[POTAWIE]

Don't get me wrong chilehunter, I'm just justiying my claim that "Who else has a song about legs and one about tush". I listened to 2livecrew and all kinds of crazy crap too but ZZtop are classy performers who use sex tastefully in most of their song.

Ummmmmm.....have you listened to any Blue's players....like John Lee Hooker and such. I have alot of other Blue's stuff and 97% of them are about sex in one way or another.

[chuk hell]

It's a fine tradition.

But still, I'm not sure I'd call PEARL NECKLACE a "classy" song.

:lol:

Well, according to the song, she wanted one!:lol:

I saw ZZ 15 or 20 years ago in Sydney. I was pretty stoned at the time but from what I remember it was excellent! it was just after their Eliminator album, Legs/Sharp Dressed Man etc, they are f*ckin' excellent, dudes! the stage started as an old dashboard, then partway through the show everything got covered in smoke, then... modern sports-car dash stage! spinning guitars, beards, bleeding ears, ahhh those were the days!

[POTAWIE]

The set on the recycler tour was cool too. A giant crane picks up band members and some scrap cars, dumps them into giant compactor, then the band members come out driving these cool crushed up cars. Realy cool from what I remember.
I wonder why they stopped using the "eliminator" car that they became so known for.

I think Billy sold that '33 a few years ago. Well, maybe not. He's got quite a garage full of customs and hot rods.

Nice! I don't know if i could handle looking at that book....the jealousy would burn my ass up.:drooling:

However, if i happen to hit the lottery, i'll be doing the same exact thing.
And also i would definitely try to get my hands on "Copperhead", his custom '49 Ford coupe.(:drooling:again!)

[marcosauces]

I saw them 16 years ago..they rocked..!!!
too darn old now...Chuck did they have walkers on stage..?? :)
