I love ZZ Top. Very sad to hear this. At least I got to see them live once. And yes, it was fantastic. I also hope they follow Rush's example and put the band to rest. It just wouldn't be the same.

Never been a fan by any means, but ZZ Top were one of these bands that seemed like they'd be around forever. Sad to see another icon go. And it's amazing to see that they had the same line-up for over 50 years...

Written by Bad English on 29.07.2021 at 00:36 They will continue with their long-time guitar tech. It would be better to call it quits. Saw them in 2015 and it was a blast - one of the best concerts I have seen.

I have seen ZZ TOP in Rome at Rock In Roma Fest with Pino Scotto as Opener Act after RATT chose to go to Canada to open for Scorpions letting fans so upset and angry. ZZ TOP and Pino Scotto saved the show doing a classy concert. I bought the ZZ TOP Keychain and I'm using it proudly for my home keys. RIP Dusty, your music is going to be listened proudly and louder than hell at my home.
