Who is zz top drummer

Three years later it scored its breakthrough hit, "La Grange," which is an ode to the Chicken Ranch, a notorious brothel outside of a Texas town by that name.

The band's "Worldwide Texas Tour," with its iconic Texas-shaped stage festooned with cactuses, snakes and longhorn cattle, was one of the decade's most successful rock tours.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in These cats know their blues and they know how to dress it up. If they ever stop, I guess I will too. Got a favorite song? First cut on side two. Thanks, guys. The conversation was going fine with Frank. This was a question he had heard way too many times.

I can buy groceries! A throng of fans — mostly young ladies with a few stray dudes mixed in — stormed the room like Walmart shoppers on Black Friday. They were a sight. Most of them swarmed around the two guys with the beards.

A handful gathered around the corner where Frank and I were talking. Apparently, all the groupies saw were two guys in black dusters, white shirts and no beards. Billy and Dusty saw what was going on and went along with the joke.

At one point, I posed with the guys for a band shot. Sadly, I have no photographic evidence. A couple of grinning girls who had been watching all this walked up. I soon found myself on a tour of nightclubs in downtown Phoenix. First, a country music club. Then a pulsating disco.

We wound up at a huge house party with all kinds of music blaring and good times-a-flowing. My fun-loving kidnappers knew all the hot spots. They had lots of friends. This conversation - screamed over loud music - was repeated over and over all night long.

And his freedom from fame. Precious, in her cowgirl hat, boots, tank top and skirt was a little bit country. They both had wavy dirty blonde mullets. They may have been sisters. They grew their hair long and, to match their name, dyed it blue. Named in part for Texas blues singer ZZ Hill, the band played some of their first shows at cafeterias, Knights of Columbus halls, lumber yards and a National Guard armoury.

Hill had been influenced by Jack Bruce, the adventurous bassist for Cream, but said he learned to take a more minimalist approach to his instrument while playing with a trio. In the mids, ZZ Top staged the Worldwide Texas Tour, performing on a Texas-shaped stage home to wagon wheels, corral fences, cacti and live animals including rattlesnakes, vultures, a longhorn and buffalo.

In a interview with The Washington Post , Hill and Gibbons recalled that they each started growing their famously long beards during a three-year break from touring in the late s, without realising that the other person was doing it.

By the time their music videos started airing on MTV, the beards were an essential part of their stage persona. Hill said there was no question of ever shaving, even if he were to retire.

It blows me away.
