This video was played what seemed hourly on MTV. This video made ZZ Top a mega group. They were popular before this album and video but after this they became the most popular rock band in the world. They went from large theaters to stadiums and the songs heard in everyone’s car in the summertime. Cruising and jamming to ZZTop with the top down, the wind blowing through your hair, and not a care in the world. When a band can make those memories, they become part of a culture.

@jxchamb 3 месяца назад

Yup. This was my introduction to ZZ Top.

@JohnHF1957 3 месяца назад

ZZ Top are fantastic but they have never been "the most popular rock band in the world". The World is more than just the USA. Also, they played in stadiums from 1973, so ten years before the "Eliminator" album and long before MTV turned up. The songs weren't heard in "everyone's car" either. Check your facts before you comment, don't use ridiculous exaggerations and don't pass your personal opinions forward as fact.

“The Weird Beards”!! You just can’t go wrong with ZZ TOP. This was one of the very first songs I ever heard from ZZ TOPP. Had no idea who they were. But was hooked on their sound. Just like ACDC, once you hear them, you just need more! And agree with another guys statement , Sam would look BEAUTIFUL coming out of this BEAUTIFUL coup!!

@chrisdutton2975 3 месяца назад

I saw them in the late 90s touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd. I think they were taking turns closing on that tour. The concert I saw, ZZ Top played last. Skynyrd seemed to have 15 people on stage with all their extra guitarists and backup singers. ZZ Top came out, just the three of them. Sound was just as full. Nothing seemed missing or stripped down. I don't know enough about it to go into detail, but I've always figured it has to be a testament to Dusty that they could do that, providing bass and rhythm at the same time while Billy played great lead.

I will never forget the summer I spent at camp chasing this girl in the 80s. ZZ Top's Eliminator Album was blasted daily on the boom box. I was trying so hard to get that first kiss. I haven't seen that girl in over 35 years. I never knew how great those times were while I was living through it. Seems like yesterday. Life goes fast kids. Enjoy every minute of it that you can.

@ericfaulkner7751 3 месяца назад

I truly cant wait to see you guys get into some of their older stuff, Like LaGrange, Tush, Cheap Sunglasses, and Brown Sugar. One of their newer songs that is great is I Gotsta Get Paid.

You wouldn’t feel the same about this song if you weren’t watching an 80s video of it. This song is a jam if it just comes on the radio and it is pure guitar rock people don’t hear this and think hey synthesizer. This is ZZ Top guitar jam at its best.

This is from Eliminator. Ah, the spinning fuzzy guitars....one of my favorite bits from their videos. I think I would be a little traumatized to learn my folks listened to ZZ Top if it was one of the pre-Eliminator albums because there were some definite "inuendo" songs on some of those. LOL!

Very impressive fascinating story about your parents. The song came from the album Eliminator in 1983. The most beautiful thing about this. The rhythm pattern. Not many tunes of that era, in rock, had a driving sixteenth 🎶 at that tempo. Brilliant and so fresh. Set ZZTop so apart from everyone. R I P. Dusty Hill - the bass guitar player.

@markwatson450 3 месяца назад

Some ZZ Top tidbits ! The lead guitarist is Billy Gibbons. That is his car in the video and was featured on Jay Leno's Garage a few years ago. He also played Angela's dad, beard and all, on the TV Show Bones. Billy and Dusty Hill are the two with the long beards. Dusty is the bass guitarist and sadly passed away a couple years ago. The drummer who doesn't have a beard is Frank Beard (running joke). They are Texans and have been together for a long time! The one you should do next is Tush. Thanks!

Eliminator was the first time that the band used a drum machine in the recording of the album, simply to help with the timing. Billy Gibbons is a perfectionist and found that this was the best way to achieve the result he wanted

The three Eliminator actresses-Jeana Tomasino, Kymberly Herrin and Danièle Arnaud-were paid more than $2,000 each (approximately $5,000 in 2020 dollars), a higher fee than usual, according to Herrin. Tomasino had been a Playboy Playmate in 1980; so was Herrin in 1981.

@JohnB.-pk1uf 3 месяца назад

Great song & video. Played a lot in dance bars. Those guitars had a secret they used to make the cool sound. Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits wanted to know how they did it. They would not tell him. So he started experimenting with all kinds of different sounds. What he came up with was the different sounding guitar you hear in their song and video for Money for Nothing. Another cool song and video.

ZZ Top is one of my top three bands. (The others, Skynyrd and Pink Floyd). Their Eliminator album came out when I was in high school and brings back a lot of great memories. Many of their videos are showing the girls coming to the rescue of an underdog in that iconic coupe and the guys, Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill (RIP) looking over them benevolently. To stay with the "body parts", please next do "Tush".

Billy Gibbons has often noted his love of Depeche Mode and early British SynthPop which led to a lot of synth work on the Eliminator album.

This version of ZZ Top is from the early MTV days, when MTV was almost entirely music videos. ZZ was one of the groups that DOMINATED MTV. If you go to ZZ's earlier music it's heavier into the blues. Try; Waitin For The Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago.

@johndonovan758 3 месяца назад

As to the "synthesized bass line, according to Wikipedia, "Guitarist Gibbons was inspired by British electronic acts such as Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark to explore electronic music technology."

They are Texas blues purists. The music sounds familiar because most of their music is a derivative of the guitar blues shuffle in C. When the three members first met, they jammed. For several days. A jam band like ZZ Top or say The Allman Brothers have to be superb musicianship. 🤘✌️🎸

Usually I like to watch reaction videos to see people's reactions when they don't know a video. However, I look forward to hearing you guys know a song before it starts just so you won't stop the song 10 seconds in to let your viewers know that you know the song. It's like someone in the passenger seat of your car reaching over and turning your radio off while you're enjoying it.

Just as the girl in the video, ZZ Top got a makeover for the 198o's. This song buzzed through the summer of 1984 again and again during on MTV. Their earlier sound from the 7o's was in the rear view mirror of the '34 Ford by this point. The previous commentor is correct. TUSH must be the next reaction. From the 8o's you have PIN CUSHION and VELCRO FLY. From the 7o's there's PEARL NECKLACE and JESUS JUST LEFT CHICAGO.

That car known as "Eliminator" a 1934 3 window Ford coupe was stolen and as far as I know never recovered, then ZZTop came out with the Afterburner album. As a suggestion give the Sleeping bag video by them a listen
