Members Doctor49 Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not bad.The old dude in the beanie and welding goggles is OK and the one in the top hat could make it as a rhythm guitar in a covers band. Probably need an image makeover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reverberlayed Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thought Slash had decent tone. Not too trebley like his counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vintage55 Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 La Grange is, IMHO, the perfect Texas boogie rock riff. 30+ years after it was first heard it still has no equal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. . . . it's one of those riffs that just kind of gets a groove going and never lets it go. I kind of feel the same way about the "Whole Lotta Love" riff . It's a simple riff that just sucks you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BydoEmpire Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm partial to "Waiting For The Bus" myself. How can you not start bobbing your head when you hear that riff? o-Q0YDu9IsM I love ZZ Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell that from that {censored}ty recording? I've heard BG about 10 times and I'd never criticize his tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's tone was good but there's just something about gibbons' tone no matter with who he's playing or where. Must be in the fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 Ripped off the vocal from John Lee Hooker too, as a matter of fact John Lee Hooker sued ZZ Top for plagerism over that song and won a judgement. Not quite. The lawsuit was mounted by Bernard Besman, Hooker's original manager/producer/label boss who, as was common practice at the time, assigned himself 50% of the publishing rights of Hooker's early songs, including Boogie Chillen. He initiated the case, not John Lee, on behalf of his own share of the song. As a matter of fact, JLH himself -- who was on good'n friendly terms with the Rev Willy G -- was embarrassed by the case, which was ongoing while I was at work on John Lee's biography, Boogie Man *unashamed plug* His exact words were, 'I don't want none'a Billy's money. I got plenty money'a my own.' An early report of the case (c 1995) can be found at: http://technoculture.mira.net.au/hypermail/0026.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted January 17, 2010 Members Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm convinced that Billy Gibbons needs to ditch ZZ Top for a while and just be a gun for hire. He's at his best when playing with other musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
