ZZ Top

The end of my journey through the alphabet is over. I've decided to let you know about the awesomeness of this band is a slightly different way - without paragraphs and plagiarized Wikipedia entries (there still might be one of those).

Below is a collection of videos, songs, and fun facts about one of the most outstanding bands of the last 40 years, ZZ Top.




The band has three members, two have long flowing beards one is named Beard.

This is exactly how you get pinkeye.

ZZ Top started as a country and blues bar band in Texas, originally named moving sidewalks. They have toured and recorded with the same band members for over 40 years.






In January 1973, ZZ Top was asked by Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, to open their shows in Honolulu. Dusty Hill recalls: “ We got word that Mick Jagger heard our first album and liked it. And he wanted us to open for the Stones in Hawaii. That just blew us away. But the next thing I heard was that Stevie Wonder opened for them here in the States and actually got booed at one show. So I was scared to death.We get onstage in Hawaii with our cowboy hats, boots and jeans and you could hear a pin drop. Somebody went, ‘Oh no, they’re a country band.'”—Dusty Hill
