Diesel Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Woo-Hoo Got some tickets to see The Top in Bonn on July 21st!!!Many thanks to Stoney_Stu for organising tix, flights, hotel.Should be a great weekend in Germany, hope Bonn is ready for an invasion of fat middle-aged air guitarists, with aff-the-belly tour t-shirts (not us of course, we're real guitarists and are quite slim).ZZ Top may be MTV whores, who release over-produced sequenced albums these days, but they're still a fucking great band, with a cracking back catalogue.Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 'Cheap Sunglasses' is a stormer of a track. Ooww Yeahh. Especially that Funk section that bookends the leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially that Funk section that bookends the leads.Yep - we do "Tush", "Cheap Sunglasses", "Fool for Your Stockings" & "I Need You Tonight" (badly) - this'll be a training course for us!The bass on Cheap Sunglasses is brilliant, as is the two-chord bridge just before the solo.YouTube - ZZ Top Cheap Sunglasses 2005 LIVE!

Jammer Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I love ZZ Top but lost interest after Eliminator when they went from "little ol band from Texas" to "big US band running on reputation".Here's one or two of my favs Fool For Your Stockingsand Jesus Just Left ChicagoThey groove:gringo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
