ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas (Netflix)

DerekJohnson

Really enjoyable documentary, and three very likable guys

Holy shit....something I did not know. The gal in the pic above is Jeana Tomasino - who later married MLB pitcher Matt Keogh and became one of the original Real Housewives of Orange County.



She has quite the "portfolio". Bing image search with safe filters off. November 1980 Playboy Playmate.

I've found that ZZ Top's greatest hits are a multi-generational crowd pleaser. Many will love it, some will tolerate, none will hate.

I can't think of any other band - besides maybe Aerosmith - where I love the early to mid 70s body of work but hate their 80s phase. The Best of ZZ Top which covers everything from the 1st four albums is flawless. But mang do I loathe 80s ZZ Top.

They were just way cooler wearing nudie suits and before the old testament beards...

Sleeping Bag is the demarcation. If your impugning Sharp Dressed Man, gtfo. Other than that, agree.

If you were listening/watching ZZ Top in the MTV years for the tunes, you now how I know you're gay?

I am impugning Eliminator. Deguello was the end of me liking their sounds.

Don't get me wrong, IFL synthesizers, but not on ZZ top.

Along with CCR, I’ve always thought they sucked.

Not really true. I like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, the Beatles (some), Rolling Stones, some Dylan, Neil Young, David Bowie, the Eagles (some) and many others that fit into old white men music.

You guys sometimes grate on me because you are 40-60 white dudes who basically follow the 40-60 white guy code. Scotch, beer, guns, every popular 70’s rock band, war buffs, couldn’t name a rock band from 2010 on... The 40-60 year old white dude starter pack.

Still love you guys. BFF, ttyl 😘😘😘.

Sorry dude I like what I like. Can I ask that you please refrain from insulting me for it, turn the other cheek, and allow me to talk shit about you for your taste?

Hurtful. Really hurtful. I have lots of vinyl from post 2010 rock groups.

Burned a few Amps and blew a few tweeters and woofers to ZZ back in the day, especially from Eliminator.

You’ll be there in the same position roadie not too far off with the generation behind you talking the same shit. Hopefully.

As my great uncle use to say, “where you are, I have been. Where I am, you SOON shall be.”

Gibbons might be the most under appreciated guitarist out there. People like to say Zeplin and Clapton were doing the blues back then but fuck those Limies. They were selling us back our own shit cut a few times, the Top was imo the first band to do real electrical blues. This shit rips...
