Saw them in Houston a handful of years ago. Never a huge fan but thought it might be a good show. I was wrong. About 4 songs in, I felt like I'd been listening to the same song 4 times so I left.
Sad to see Dusty go, though. Seems like the members of ZZ Top are/were pretty good people. Just never saw the appeal of their music.

Sad day in America. That's all I got to say.
Farewell, my good man.

I just read this morning that he was going off their tour because of a hip issue, and that a Kentucky guitarist was replacing him.
That really sucks, dude was a legend.

So sad to hear this, loved ZZ TOP. Over the years, I've probably saw them 4-5 times.
-there is a documentary on Netflix about ZZ top that any music fan should watch.
-was as guilty as anyone in associating the band with only their 80's work and writing them off...their early stuff is incredible. A very important band. Billy Gibbons is a tone god.

They were just here in Louisville on the 18th. Looks like Louisville was one of his last shows.
One of my favorite bands (early material) and favorite live acts.
Sad day.

Goodnight, my sweet songbird....
Sadly, the toothpick industry will suffer the most. RIP Dodger Dawg.
They had a show in Evansville scheduled for the 21st that was canceled on the 19th or 20th due to “health concerns of one of the members of the band”.

Saw ZZ Top back in 1979 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati. The loudest concert I’ve ever attended. I’ve never seen so many speakers on one stage. Every bass note made my rib cage shake. Ears rang for three days after. But DAMN, they were fantastic. Of course this was before they started recording poppy top 40 radio and MTV hits.
Dusty Hill gone, but never forgotten!

Their early material kicked ass. The “Afterburner” album was the turning point beyond which they went into a slow, steady, and irreversible decline.
Saw them in '74 before they had beards, saw again in Atlanta playing with John Forgerty a few years back then saw them in Corbin last Sunday night. Dusty had left the Tour a few days before the Corbin show with his hip problems and was replaced by his Bass tech Elwood Francis. Was so shocked hearing about Dusty's sudden death.
Same. I respect what they did but I'm over listening to their songs. Sad to see another rock and roll legend gone.
The vocal tradeoffs on "Beer Drinkers" with Billy are pure gold... RIP and mucho respect!
