first time hearing ZZ Top - Waitin' For The Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago (Reaction!!) 

I have a unique suggestion for you that will take you in a different direction, but one that I'm certain will provide a pleasant journey. The band is called Stone Temple Pilots and the track is titled Interstate Love Song. Enjoy!

I knew you would love this.

From 65 yr old man listen 2 under pressure burger man just got paid im bad im nationwide an ur ears will thankya 4 ever and a day 😂😮😅😊😊😊

Listen to some Blackfoot song Train Train.

@poloreacts sharp dressed man

Brown sugar, Heaven hell or houston, Ten foot pole

Dustys' vocals on that are top notch. R.I.P. Dusty

Thanx for the info, I did not know this.

Last I checked, the bass is also a guitar and here it is played by the the legendary Dusty Hill (RIP) who also does backing vocals and his share of lead vocals throughout their massive song catalog.

Sometimes the B side is the best track

Dusty Hill was lead singer, RIP

hendrix also said that reverend billy was the greatest blues player ever

All of them were panned by the critics, another was Triumvirat.

I concur!

PRIMUS!!

The Police

Jimi, SRV, Cream, all 3 piece.

back in the 8-track days I would let that sucker play all day

At least until the silver track changing strips wore out and you had to change the tracks manually . .

The blues had a baby and named it rock and roll

Oh wise ones! 👍🏼

There was music around long before American Blues, such as European folk and classical music, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. The "roots" of American music go much farther back. Virtually every country in the world had music before American blues.

⁠@@willieboy3011 He’s wasn’t saying that music didn’t exist before American blues music, because of course it did, music is an elemental part of human culture. Willie Dixon was saying that as far as American music goes, blues is where it all began. Whether that’s true or not is debatable, but in context it makes sense. The music that is quintessentially American is The Blues, Country & Western (not modern country music, rather what was originally called Hillybilly music), and Jazz. Rock & Roll came from the blues and country; jazz is its own thing, although there is jazz influenced rock music.

But blues is not where it began, obviously. It is only one part of the picture. Blue Grass did not come from Blues, neither did Country, Western (they used to be separate styles), nor arguably Jazz. American music roots come from many countries, like the immigrants who brought this music with them. @@richardsimpson9039

Blue Jean Blues is probably the best example of "less is more" as far as a guitar part goes . . . The guitar sounds as sad as the message, if that makes sense.

@@JudgeJudy82 It does & Well said.

Master of Sparks!

Wait a minute. I love Top but I love that trio from Canada too. I humbly suggest that Neil, Geddy and Alex could hold a candle to Billy, Dusty and Frank's talent. 😅 I've seen both. ZZ Top Recycler still holds the title for my favorite show though.✌️

I think watching ZZ Top performing "Cheep Sunglasses" on British TV show "The Old Grey Whistle Test" was the first time i was introduced to them.

You absolutely nailed everything I was thinking. I love watching him when the groove hits.

DITTO!!!!

I was in the Army when a buddy came over with this green album and told me I had to listen to it. Weird name...ZZ Top. Album named "Tres Hombres". My limited ( very limited ) Spanish told me 'Three Dudes'. I was neither impressed with the band's name or the album's title if you wanna know the truth. But by the end of the first track I was hooked...and have been hooked for fifty years now. These three dudes are righteous. They get it. And they can lay it down in a way no one else can remotely duplicate. ZZ Top is on my everyday playlist. While "Tres Hombres" might be their breakout album, my favorite is "Tejas". Just good listening all around. I hope you take the time, Polo, to listen to both albums...before you go down Top's 80's rabbit-hole of highly produced product. I don't mean to say their 80's offerings were bad by any stretch of the imagination, but their bluesy roots kinda took a backdrop when all the glitzy production took place. Kinda lost the spontaneous feeling...if you git my drift.

Said beautifully-pure heart from you and Mr. Polo💗🖤

and Radio DJ's appreciated the bathroom break it provides

@poloreacts This is the true story!

Saw them at the pit in Albuquerque around 1972 or 73. They are open for BB King, and before ZZ Top, with black Oak, Arkansas. ZZ Top, dear I say, both of the other acts away. You could see how happy B.B. King was. He came on after them and encouraged the crowd to show them some love and give them another encore. B.B. King; class act all the way.

Someone else claimed the record label made a mistake when cutting the master vinyl and neglected to space the two tracks. Either way, it was meant to be.

I was at the Charlotte show. The Black Crowes were supposed to open for them but canceled because they thought they were too good to be opening act for a 2nd class over the hill band like ZZ. They chose poorly. That was a great concert!

Agree. The eliminator album, marked their cross over into a more commercial rock based sound as opposed the the more southern boogie influence early stuff. Though thankfully they never strayed to far from their roots or became a "hair" band🤣 That being said the commercial stuff did get their music into the ears of a lot of people who wouldn't have heard them otherwise...and some of those listeners discovered the old gold in their catalog.

@@johnnemo6509 ZZ are a "face hair band".

@@brianmiller1077 except for the drummer Frank Beard which shows a sublime sense of humor

@@johnnemo6509 A moustache is still facial hair :)

Brown Sugar!!!!!

We used a book of matches.

well... you remember when an 8 track would do that it was always a mad dash to find anything that would work, never did a match book - needed the matches... ahhhh the memories tho@@boroblueyes

Don't forget, having to splice the tape when the player ate your tape.

You and I were probably at many shows together at at ETSU & Freedom Hall. From Kpt. Lots of your last name in ErVin and surrounding area. amirite?

@@JuniorFarquar Yeah, I'd say so. My cousin was a ticket vendor for Freedom Hall. I didn't miss many shows there '74 - '82. (moved to Raleigh after ETSU Grad)
