[Joel Danielson]

The rock world, and their style of blues is diminished greatly...RIP

 

[Lapuapalooza]

My favorite rock bassist. The guy was brilliant on his bass lines. Great rock singer too.

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

Damn........

 

[JMGlasgow]

I saw them twice. Once at the Greeley Independence Stampede and once at Cheyenne Frontier Days. They are a great band to see live.

 

[SEMO Shooter]

I got to see ZZ Top live 14 years ago. Great show!

 

[Don-n-Texas]

I’m from Houston they played around Spring Branch. Teen clubs no alcohol. They played our High School after prom. A few weeks later Thes Hombras came out and they were big time. They were always great guys from the neighborhood.
RIP Dusty

 

[HeavyAssault]

I would have never made it out of high school without ZZ Top!

 

[Yasherka]

Sad, one of the few bands I gave a shit about. But he gave us 50 years, half a century of music.

Saw them in San Diego in the mid '80's and at the Dutzendteich in Nürnberg a decade later. Always an awesome show.

Rest in Peace Dusty

Watched them live in the early 80s, took my daughter to see them about 5 years ago and currently have tickets to see them next week. One of my favorite bands, like good wine there music has aged well. And good old southern boys.

 

[BullGear]

Rest easy. A true force in the rock world.

I just put my Texas flag at half staff.

Damn, was considering seeing them in a couple weeks

I heard that their guitar tech has been covering for Dusty for a few weeks already because he had been having hip issues, dont know if his death was related to that or not. So they have been doing shows without him already but do not know if they will continue.
He used to have a house down the street from me, met him a few times, nice guy.

Article I read said he passed in his sleep. Lots of good ones rockin away upstairs.

Truly epic musicians, their music with Dusty will live on for decades to come.
Thankfully I have all their original material on vinyl.
RIP Dusty.

Saw them at the Cotton Bowl 1976. Lead-off band was Fabulous Thunderbirds with some guy named Stevie Ray, Then ZZ Top rocked the house for over two hours and handed off the The Rolling Stones! RIP Dusty and thanks for always giving us a great show.
