Annoying bloody drummer
Maneater that doesnt know she's a maneater.
Whats more annoying, the snare in this video, or the tech chewing gum while talking?
Poor snare drum š heās just getting beat to death
And now heās playing bass for the bandā¦guitar techā”ļørockstar.
Wow to see how Elwood has aged in the last 12 years alone is so cool. It's even cooler that Billy chose Elwood to play bass with him after Dusty passed. Just Wow!
Little could Elwood imagine years later heād be onstage rockinā the beard & bass in the band.
Yes^ Hendrix once said said (Billy is one of the Best Guitarist he's ever Heard)
8:35 homogenous
What song play that drummer? ????
Elwood today play bass on ZZ-Top.
R.I.P Dusty????????
Gretch fenomenal.I like this guitar and in Billys hand
7-32 but sound is awesome.
And now…he is fillin some big shoes…Good job Elwood…
Dam man… I just couldn't take that drumming. But watching it in Mute is still cool! Thanks!
Enjoyable interview. Tks!
The guitar that SRV plays in his video for cold shot that has Stevie Ray Vaughan written on the fret board was given to him by Billy. I saw Billy on Thanksgiving night in 2019 at the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Tx.
I'm from Austin and only saw ZZTop play once. The Eliminator tour 1983 at the Drum in Austin.
The headlights of the old 30's coupe behind Frank lit up brightly.
11 years later and rumor has it they're still checking that snare.
Who is that beardless man?
Does gear really matter when most of their show is lip synched and pre-recorded tracks?
That eq trick is smart.
ELWOOD.BASS PLAYER FOR ZZTOP.
Elwood is now the bassist for ZZ Top after Dusty passed away.
Billy adds a new John Bolin custom guitar a year and sometimes two. In a recent video with Sammy Hagar, Billy has a custom SG that has a sculptured body in a cherry color. I am thinking of getting John to do that guitar in black for me. But he has over two years of orders before he will get to it.
Instead of this – give us the rundown of the gear used on ZZ TopĀ“s First Album. Not these racks and processing nonsence.. We know the bass back then was Danelectro Longhorn, that no one would even touch today.. maybe also one of the the very first P-basses too, not sure about the exact timeframe they acquired her .. (theres a story about the shop..)
Billy used his Flying Vee, and Pearly… no Strat or Esquire… but what were the AMPS ??
Were they only those Jeff BeckĀ“s leftover Marshalls ? Could well be.. but maybe thereĀ“s more.
Will we ever know ? Maybe in Bills testament.
Now Elwood has gotten a promotion….????????????
