Many years ago I found out the hard way that this song can bring policemen to your door on a nice, sunny afternoon if you live in an apartment complex...

I thought she did Jimi justice on that one.  Good job.

Eliminator was my introduction to ZZ Top and at the time I wasn't keen to listen  to their older songs. These days, there's good stuff back there!



Deguello was kind of their "crossover" album... it was kind of like it was the bridge between the Little ol' Band from Texas bluesy rock to the more "pop" sounding stuff that was prevalent afterward. It was the last album they did that interested me. I never could get into El Loco, or Eliminator and most of what came afterward.

Bopping around the country in the Air Force in the 70's allowed me to see a lot of concerts, and I was able to see them once in Oklahoma City during their Tres Hombres tour (my introduction to ZZ Top!),  and once in Fayetteville, N.C. during the Deguello tour. The cool thing about that show was how they performed the extra music parts in some of the songs. They played on the giant video screen behind the live concert. The three of them played saxophones dressed as the Lone Wolf Horns on that screen. They would open the songs playing saxes onscreen and the live members rocked in at their entry point. It was pretty cool because both of them played together during the whole songs like they were a 6-piece band.

Good times.

This takes me back to all those times I sat, stoned, counting the faces on that album cover...

Yeah, it's a gentle toe-tapper, but I am not a fan of Frankenstein music. It's cheating.

What can I say?  I liked it.  It was the right song at the right time, and I was sorry to hear it end.

I love his "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues" bonus song too. Fun stuff.
Posted 7 years ago by rick1956:
Great stuff. My toe couldn't stop tappin'.
Posted 7 years ago by rick1956:
That is good stuff right there.

Tasty. Made me reach for the volume knob and edge it up a tad.

Love this song!  It's especially headphone worthy

I found this song to be very repetitious... almost to the point of sounding like a record skipping. Not for me at all.

Loved it. Perfect 4pm post-bong wind down tune.

I used to like this song, but that was several million playings ago. Sorry, but to me it's the new Stairway to Paradise—I'm deathly tired of them both.
Posted 7 years ago by rick1956:
I had to turn this off after a minute or so... the monotony reminded me of a Nintendo game... Sorry, not at all for me.

I love it when the the perfect tune for my mood comes on.  Like this one.  I smiled out loud.
 
I went flying back in time to my first ever concert:  The Doobies playing in Mobile, Alabama... touring for THIS album's release!
Posted 10 years ago by rick1956:
Damn, my feet hurt from tappin'... good stuff!

No.  It's just wrong.  My mind put up a wall and said no, it must not be this cover of a truly great song.
