I always thought it was the car that made them.
I'd go see them this year (haven't seen them live for 25 years) except I couldn't sit through Aerosmith.
ACDC have been together since 1973. Ahm just sayin’
that’s a bold statement? The best in rock history?
Still love La Grange. Best song from the best 3-man band in history.
One of ‘The Best Concerts Ever’ I had the pleasure of attending was a ZZ Top show. Man, they were AWESOME. 1986.
We had an absolute blast...dressed the parts in long black coats, sunglasses and Fedoras; the guys wore beards, etc. I seem to remember wearing roller skates for some reason, LOL!
Fun, Fun Fun!
Check out http://www.pandora.com and build yourself a ZZ Top Radio Station. :)
Steve Miller was memorable, too. First concert with ‘laser beams’ and lots of cutting edge ‘ee-lec-tronics.’ I can only imagine what paying customers expect these days, LOL!
Oh, and Pink Floyd? Don’t even get me started...
And since we’re talkin’ trash about 80’s rock, I have to brag again that Robin Zander *KISSED* me back when Cheap Trick was a Garage Band! Wa-Hoo! *SMOOCH*
(Thanks, Pissant. It’s been fun.) :)

Agreed. He's pure blues/rock guitar genius. These guys are true musicians of unparalleled talent. I saw them live more than 20 years ago when I was in college, and I still enjoy their music today, particularly the older stuff, just as much as the first time I heard it. They are timeless.
Anyhow, they had a conveyor belt that ran the length of the stage. You could not see it because it was even with the stage floor. They would get on that thing and start walking, then someone would turn that belt on and it would appear that they had stopped moving even though they were still walking. They put on a great show.
Watched them in a video once, years later while I was in Japan, I realized ZZ Top had mimicked the hand signals those guys use after they pack people in the passenger trains.
Neil Sedaka have been together more than 40 years,so there!
Pearl Necklace. Just sayin...... Slip inside my sleepin bag. Just sayin......
The Reverend Billy Gibbons is awesome, indeed. He has always had such a distinctive sound, maybe because he often uses a coin as a pick. Several years ago I happened to see one of his guitars hanging on the wall of the Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale Street in Memphis. That was a treat. ZZ’s old stuff is the best by far. It doesn’t get any better than Tres Hombres.
ZZ Top Bump
Great Band
Still, ZZ Top, like Led Zeppelin...sucks live.
Both Gibbons and Page always needed a second guitar.
Some truly great one's need a second lie the above...and some don't.
Fave Texas rockers of all time were the 13th Floor Elevators. Too bad Rocky Erickson was such a believer in "better living through chemistry."
I guess some folks just have more stamina.
That lil’ ol band PING
