I wonder what this is about.
They are still alive?
Casinos and State Fairs? That's some front office they had there.
That Lil ol band from Texas is still the best blues rock going. Mescalero was good music. Better than their overproduced early 1980s stuff.
Still, their best days were from start thru 1976's Tejas.
Name another band with no personnel changes over 36 years and had the same manager the whole time? I can't think of any.
Billy looked much better before he started wearing that silly thing on his head that he wears now.
Steve O'Rourke managed Pink Floyd up until his death a few years ago, but there were personnel changes within the band itself.
Gibbons looks vaguely Hasidic in that pic.

I guess you mean this ↓ ?
They could always hire this guy to be the fourth member, but then they would have to change their name to ZZ Dreidel.
That's the one. As their song goes, "What's Up With That?"
I'm guessing he's lost his hair...
"Just Got Paid" is still the best slide guitar solo ever.
lol!
With their big hit, Sharp Dressed Mensch
Billy is my hands down pick as the best rock guitarist.
Every girl crazy bout a sharped dressed man
Wasnt he Jimi Hendrix's favorite? thats saying something
I heard that, but it was on this forum I think. I never saw the quote.
Synthesizers killed them slowly, everyone was doing it in the 80s, but ZZ Top inexplicably cntinues to this day.
