Thread: Dusty Hill has passed...

Yup a sad day indeed. I posted this over in the What are you listening to yesterday afternoon.



Before the made it big, my younger brother saw them as an opening act for some big name band but I can't remember who it was and when they were finished and the big name came on they were boo'd and the crowd wanted more ZZTop.

Only got to see them once and that was in '90 and they used the white fuzzy guitars. It was a great show and quite a loud one at that.

I have never seen them live. I have enjoyed their music over the years. I wore out a few cassette tapes in the day. I still like to press my lips together and make those fuzz guitar riffs, but only when I am alone, or alcohol is involved.

Over the last day or so I read that very close to the end Dusty said..."the show must go on."
I also saw somewhere that one of the bands technicians has been groomed to step in.
It will be real interesting to see what happens in the future.

No...it will never be the same...but

It would be crying shame if they go silent and both the live shows and music stop.

In the video that I've posted the question of when Frank went into rehab if they considered getting another drummer and Billy said "There is no other Drummer, There's One Guy"

Personally, I doubt that there will be ZZTop 'Band'. Just as Led Zepplin never re-formed with a new drummer.

I gotta agree.

Me either. I just can't see it. Think of the Beatles without one ore more of the original Fan Four. How could that be?

I stand corrected!

Their guitar tech for the last 20 years is standing in for Dusty.
They played in Louisiana a few days ago.
