Finally found something worth watching on Netflix. Bio of ZZ Top. Very low profile bunch of guys, considering their presence for so many decades. Nice to see and hear the interviews and get some of the back stories. For the fans.

Love em...have mercy, been waitin for the bus all day, got my brown paper bag and my take home pay...
Nice to see him talking so much in the documentary. All three of them are leaders. He commandeered Billy into joining up with him and he told him about his buddy Dusty Hill, who would fit in. Dusty Hill was also quite the leader. His older brother commandeered Frank into joining his band. Nice to hear them talk about themselves. Frank was called "Rube" which made me wonder. In an interview he described himself as a "Rube"And drummer Frank Beard is the only one without a beard.
I guess I am a fan.
Billy Gibbons was a huge influence on guitarists like Darrell (Dimebag) Abbott and Southern "sludge" and Groove Metal.
Dimebag RIP. I saw ZZ Top three times, they delivered. Very under-rated band and one of the best live. I haven't seen them this century, even though Fallsview is a clip joint, I'll be there.
Probably their best song. Frustrating to find a good live version, Dusty Hill's amazing bass line makes the song.
Texas Boogie at its finest - it never gets old.
