Big, big lover of the first 6 ZZ Top albums.

RIP Dusty Hill

RiP Dusty, I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them a few years back. Like you I'm a big fan of the earlier stuff though I thought La Futura was a return to form.

Sad. One of the best (beards) in the business. Saw them at Monsters of Rock many years ago. Fabulous.

 

[Chris Marshall]

RIP

 

[chartz]

Oh that prodigious bass.

 

[Marchbanks]

RIP Dusty. The list of folk still alive after accidentally shooting themselves shrinks a little.

RIP Dusty, a tue legend of rock and guitar

Love their early music up to Deguello, think Tejas is an overlooked gem of an album.

Thanks for the ride Dusty.

Great band saw them headline at Donnington monsters of rock, ten foot pole classic stand out. RIP

 

[forester]

I also saw them at Donington, 1985 if I remember correctly, best band I ever saw, or are ever likely to see. Even flew the Eliminator Ford round the park under a helicopter. Brilliant. Irreplaceable.

I literally just listened to Tres Hombres before I heard the news. RIP.

Supremely talented musicians and a great loss.

I can see the point about the early albums but have recently realised that later material is also very good if a bit different. For example "Sleeping Bag" from Afterburner, and that album as a whole is imo overlooked, certainly by me for many years. Eliminator is a brilliant piece of music, that is album 8. Maybe it is too much of a guilty pleasure? Recycler is also good.
My top 3 albums would be Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres and Eliminator.
Album 4, Fandango, is imo not great but it does have Tush.

 

[Big Tabs]

R.i.P. Dusty Hill.

Tres Hombres are now Dos.

From what I heard, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard didn't have much involvement with the Eliminator and Afterburner albums - they were basically Billy Gibbons solo works with synths & drum machine. No disrespect to Dusty Hill though, RIP.
