And the high end of the vocals

I lived in a town called Seabrook which was about 25 minutes from Dusty hills House in San Leon. Anyway me and a dude were in our work truck and we stopped at a store. We saw a nice Mercedes pull up and out comes Dusty Hill and he's pumping his gas. We pulled up at the back of his car and asked was he Dusty and he said ya. After about 15 seconds he asked so what are you guys up to and that conversation lasted like 10 minutes. We took off he went into the store. About 5 minutes later he zoomed passed us and honked his horn and waved. The dude was so down to earth that the conversation we had seemed like I'd known him for yrs. I mean he was just cool and nice and don't have to talk for 10 minutes. God bless you Dusty for being a special human

An AMAZING band! R.I.P Dusty.

I grew up with these guys. Lots of memories, they’ll always be a favorite.

Born in 1970,I grew up with ZZ TOP. Played them through High School graduated in '88 .I'm 51 ,now . I was SADDENED to hear of Dusty Hill's passing . Always wanted to SEE them in Concert . I see Billy Gibbons hasn't SLOWED down . ZZTOP4LIFE ❣️. Here in Virginia, USA 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲

They are hands down one of my all time favorites. No matter how bad my day has been I can throw on La Grange and all the suck just melts away. I wish I could have shared a message like that with all of then. I would snag my parents CDs and jam out when they came on the radio. I am happy to say my children enjoy them too.

I just went and seen them last night in Harrigton Delaware, a bucket list checked off. I wished Hill was still there, but I was very impressed with Elwood, though he seemed a little scared at first, last night he and Gibbons were just like Hill and Gibbons were, and his playing is extremely good. ZZ Top are Americana to my opinion. Every song they play makes me think of Texas blues, because to me thats what they are, and every song I hear brings back a big part of life I have lived, freinds I knew, some past on, and a whole mess of good memories before aches and pains, grey hair, pot bellies, and when I used potions of my past. They were there in my good and bad times, being a hero and a villain, they helped me grow up, and Ill always be forever thankful for them......

Loved ZZ Top. Seen them about 10 times thru the years. Losing a lot of good people lately. This one was a hard one when it happened. 🙏❤️🕊️

Ya, came out of the blue.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dusty Hill ! As my brother played with Dusty's brother Rocky Hill n so we had after show passes n I said to Dusty in his dressing room, I'll trade you my Texas hat pin I had on my vest for his autograph n Dusty said ok n he put the hat pin on his vest. RIP Dusty was a really nice guy.

First saw Dusty at The Cellar in Ft Worth with his brother Rocky. Just the 2 of them. No band. Rocky on guitar & Dusty on bass. Playing, singing, & telling jokes. I was with "The Other Group". Me, Frank Beard, James Adams, Jerry & David Pool. Still in high school. Frank quit our band to join "The Cellar Dwellers". That was where he got to know the Hill brothers. Later joined them in "The American Blues". They travelled back & forth between the 2 Cellar clubs in Ft. Worth & Houston. Where they met Billy Gibbons and the rest is history.

Dusty was a terrific human being and fantastic musician. I worked a few duo gigs with him back in the day, and they were always fun. He was fun, and he refused to be down or negative. I always enjoyed being around him...a very special being.

Cool Ray I’ve got a 1964 Corvette stingray that I bought in 1983 and I’ve been listening to ZZ Top also since then. Nobody’s better than ZZ. I also have wanted an old Vette since I was about 8 or 9? Things like these make an impression.

Saw them @ the Casper Wyoming Cow Palace in '75...they were touring Tres Hombres. BLEW me away! Been a fan ever since.

Been a fan since 1975. Phenomenal music!

I Love❤❤❤ this band and especially their first 6 albums more than words can possibly say. My personal first introduction and Biggest! influence to blues/rock, listening to their first 3 albums on my older brothers 8-tracks, in the early 70's at around 11 years old, and being awestruck / captivated and gobsmacked - overwhelmed with wonder; Also my first concert at the Met Center for the Amazing World Wide TX Tour in 1976. It is now 2022, 5 decades later., I am 60 years old, and I am still listening.

Elwood is doing a great job filling those shoes. I saw them a few years ago with Dusty, and they were amazing. Then I was hoping to see them again. Saw them in Orlando at the hard rock live with Elwood. It was an amazing show, especially in such a intimate venue.

RIP Dusty Hill, you will be missed forever more. My children listen and I've passed on the music so ZZ Top lives on...

Billy and Dusty - real nice guys met them when I was in Radio in Houston, hung out and down to earth guys. will never forget when they invited me up on stage to play with them, at The Galanent Knight - a club that is no longer around, but the late 80s was fun and so were Billy and Dusty. God bless you Dusty RIP

I was fortunate to see Dusty on July 16th 2021 his final show was the next day. The show we saw had ZZ Top, George Thoorgaod and John Fogerty from CCR

Love ZZ Top that's all that needs to be said.

I admire people who know what they want to do at an early age and carry through on that desire. I met a Navy cook who said he wanted to be a cook from childhood and the Navy gave him the training and a job.

I always loved ZZ Top since I first heard them in 1971. I saw them twice.

Met Billy and Dusty during a birthday party at Billy's in the 80's. Great people, great fun. RIP Dusty.

Loved ZZ Too, their music was incredible. RIP Dusty Hill gone but not forgotten, always in our hearts♥️

You left out one of the coolest facts about ZZ Top. You mentioned that they had been together as a band for a long time, but what you didn't include was that according to the Guinness book of world records. ZZ Top was the band who had been together the longest while keeping all the original members. No other band has even come close

worth mentioning that they were the band with the longest ever unchanged line-up, but as far as "original line-up" goes, the first ZZ Top single (Salt Lick and Miller's Farm) was recorded with Billy Gibbons and two other dudes. Anyway, ZZ Top forever!

I was born the same day and year as Dusty. R.I.P.

RIP, Dusty. For many years, you & ZZ were almost the Warehouse's (New Orleans) house-band. Also, we have enjoyed you all for 50 years, & have seen you frequently over that half century. You are missed, & you are loved. God, bless your family. Richard

I first heard ZZ Top in 1970, their very first album with "Shaking Your Tree, Bedroom Thing, and Brown Sugar". To me it's the best ZZ Top my ears have ever bled from.

For a guy who grew up in rural Oklahoma ZZ TOPS was my music of choice, now in my mid 60s they still are 👍.

“Mostly” accurate, but Dusty was very protective of some of the truths in his life. And often created realities to share with people. Dusty was a great friend and wonderful neighbor.

That's so cool the continue. I hate when a band dies when a member dies. The other members don't need to just grieve forever, Billy and Frank need to still live even with Dusty gone.

More and more, the rockers of the "rock generation" are passing on to the hereafter. They leave behind their great offerings to us all. See and hear you on the other side Dusty Hill.

I still sport a ZZ Top key chain from the 1980’s that hangs off the cigarette lighter of my 1964 Tuxedo Black Corvette Stingray coup. Rest In Peace Dusty, ZZ Top is legendary there’s no Rock music in history that’s even similar.

Dusty Hill was a patient of mine Dec. 1984.

I met him in Detroit what a kind-hearted soul he was a big influence on me

RIP Dusty Hill and the show must go on like you said!

I saw ZZ Top earlier this year and the whole band is amazing, Elwood is great but the most amazing is Frank Beard, that is guy is 70 years old and did not slow down, he played the whole one and half hours.

Thank you Dusty for your music. thank you for giving to our Boys in Olive Drab, and thank you Dusty for waving to me that time! you were part of the 5 best tings in life. you will be remembered and loved for ever!

Had the great fortune of meeting them for a photo and a handshake (John Fogerty opened for them)...seems like yesterday and ages ago. 😔

I always liked ZZ top, never really loved them, but my brother who didn't even like them went to go see a show at Poplar Creek in South Barrington, Illinois back in the early 90s. He said that, that was the best show he's ever seen in his entire life and he went with me to see Paul McCartney's final show after a world tour at soldier Field in Chicago and seeing many many Dead shows and many other concerts but to this day he says ZZ top what's the best show ever saw and he never regrets going even though he never meant to!!!! ☮️♥️

I'm proud to say that the house I grew up in and the house Billy Gibbons grew up in are no more than a mile apart. He was a little ahead of me in school, but T. H. Rogers Junior High and Robert E. Lee High School were also a mile or so from my house. The first ZZ album for me was Tres Hombres. I was a huge fan from that point on and they remain one of my favorites to this day. Needless to say, it was very sad to hear that Dusty had passed on.

i have a 10 cd box set of zz.....never get tired of any of the cds.....dusty did some really cool stuff with homeless veterans.... all three seem to be such normal guys.....i was into different stuff during the 60s 70s 80s so did not get into them then but when i saw them on mtv in the 90s they grabbed me and i love their sound, style, aura.....listening to el loco now....great stuff...

I saw/read that HE fell getting OFF the bus, then he was hospitalized for a broken hip ... then I heard/read of his passing... R.I.P.!!!!

I had wanted to see them since I was 10. I finally got to see them a few years ago and they were fantastic!

He also worked at a airport as a guy named joe

ZZ TOPS best, unknown, blues song: ROUGH BOY. Saw them on first tour for their first album. Got three encores. We wanted MORE! A bass player myself. Started in the late sixties. Still thumpin'.

Rest in peace Dusty! Dear Grunge, I thank you making this Video!

Ian Hill(Judas Priest) and Dusty Hill.Same last names and similar technique on the bass.Strange but love both of these guys.Very underated players

Thank you thank you thank you! I got to see these guys in 1967 in a place called the Stardust ballroom in Corpus Christi Texas. Admission was a dollar and I could reach out and touch Billy Gibbons Boop I was so close to the stage which came up to my waist
