Dusty Hill from ZZTop has passed
 

Damn.

I played Fandango so loud it pissed my mom off.

That voice too, tho.


RIP

RIP - dude was a legend

RIP again.

Can't listen to ZZtop without feeling cool AF.

All three members were born in '49, not that old. I saw them on the Eliminator Tour with Sammy Hagar in '84, they put a show I did not expect, it was flashy and the sound was tight!!

RIP Dusty

Shit. A how how how.

Killer cruising music.

Dusty Hill was a severely under-rated base guitar player. ZZ Top is a band full of bad asses.

Hank Hill’s cousin

RIP Dusty


Thanks Stevieray this man deserves his own Memoriam thread. He to me isn't some unknown nobody. He has left us with deep low bass lines when hearing you instantly know the band. This one stings I love that band.

La grange has to be one of my favorite driving songs.

Ahaw haw haw haw

always a blast seeing them live

Kauffman Stadium in that vid!

I literally learned to drum from this album as a kid. RIP

Terrible news....RIP Dusty....a very underrated Bass Player

Damn.

I'm blasting Manic Mechanic right now.

RIP

Bummer man, seems like all the great ones are dying.

Neil Peart and Eddie Van Halen off the top of my head.

Yet, Keith Richards somehow lives.


RIP

Not that it is, but doesn't it look like Dusty's head is photoshopped on this pic ?

RIP, What an musical entertainer he was.

I wonder, who's idea was it for them to wear their beards hair so long?

billy g said in an interview once they were just lazy.

RIP Dusty Hill damn...

Of course he does.

Integral part of a great band. Arguably the best rock and roll trio of all.

Bummer is all I can say.

It's crazy that they all have beards except the drummer, " FRANK BEARD ".

I caught their act here in Aug of 2018 at the Blues Fest here in town, great show.

Have mercy.

Any one know the KC venue they played in '81? I took a trip up there for the show, can't remember where. Not Kemper I don't think..

Damn.. now I'm bummed out. RIP Dusty.

I last saw them at Cheyenne Frontier Days. I think it was in 04. They damn near played the whole Tres Hombres album.

Same here, been one of my favorites for a long time. Had a friend who's son works for them, offer us prime tickets last year with back stage passes in Springfield and we didn't go. :banghead:


RIP Dusty

In 81 it was Kemper Arena I was there. They played the Kansas Colosium the night before that's friends went to because Kemper was sold out.

Yep. Two lesser heralded but absolutely bad ass songs! Obviously VLV was a cover but their version was so cool!

I would have serious concerns with any man who did not love this song.

He was great in King Of The Hill.

One of my favorite bands. R.I.P.

Aw, man. RIP :(

Do you think he's riding War Paint right about now?

RIP

LMAO great point

RIP, Dusty... they were definitely a bucket list band, now denied

RIP. Loved him on that King of the Hill episode.

Dude, yes!!!

seen them 3 times, always a great show, will miss that for sure RIP

Saw them in Galveston Texas before MTV and their full on fame. They were mainly playing bluesy rock. Last time was Sandstone in the 90’s. Life well lived.

I saw them twice back in the day. Great show and total command over their instruments.

Hill was pretty underrated to most everyone except Billy Gibbons. The latest documentary on Netflix- Gibbons gives lots of credits to Hill for his amazing work over the years and being such a huge part of their success. RIP

He had a wild crazy life and passed peacefully in his sleep- not a bad way to go.

RIP. Loved hearing him play.

I caught that 81 show at Kemper with my brother.

I remember it being rather 'smoky' inside.

Was he the one with the beard?

Just kidding... dude was a legend!

Rest in peace.

Yeah this hit me when I heard the news earlier today. RIP Dusty
Saw them here in BR on the Eliminator tour.

man the hits go on and on. Sad day

It was, and ZZ Top was fantastic. Opening act was Loverboy if I recall...not my cup of tea but they had a guitarist who was a real showman.

That's too bad. As everyone here keeps saying, they were great live. I saw them twice - once with lynyrd Skynyrd and once with ted Nugent on the beer drinkers and hellraisers tour - and they stole the show both times.

ZZ Top's First Album is a constant play for me.....Brown Sugar is the best!

RIP brother. A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw

Cool picture.

RIP

That was a trivia question.

My most memorable ZZ Top concert was the 1975 Halloween night at Kemper Arena with Rory Gallagher. Great show with the gals dressed up in revealing costumes.

One of my all time favorite bands. Saw them twice, once in Wichita and then again in Nuremberg while I was stationed in Germany.

dang... I was supposed to see them in about 10 days... I wonder if Willie Nelson will still play.

Cheap Sun Glasses is one of the best road trip songs there are.

Saw them at Brendan Byrne arena in the late 80's with a date.

Good show

That was good. And Stern's comment at the end. LMAO

With Rush and Cream being the other trios? Unless I’m forgetting someone.

According to Gibbons, Elwood Francis, the long time guitar tech will fill in, and the show will go on, per Dusty's request.

He’d went with a hip injury week before and he told them that very thing

Funny story ...

Years ago, ZZ Top was travelling through Nashville and, for some reason, Dusty Hill wound up ordering a custom jacket from the same tailor I've used.

The tailor told me that Dusty wanted a half-dozen-or-so secret, concealed pockets sewn into the coat. In the arms, in the back, behind a lapel, etc.

Secret agent stuff, man.

The man needs his weed and cocaine. Along with being a sharp dressed man.

You must buy nice jackets fax
