ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. For 51 years, the band comprised vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and vocalist-bassist Dusty Hill, until Hill's death in 2021. ZZ Top developed a signature sound based on Gibbons' blues guitar style and Hill and Beard's rhythm section. They are popular for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the similar appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who were rarely seen without their long beards, sunglasses, and hats.
The Beards from Tejas. Eliminator the album took the country by storm, right alongside Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna, so it was easy to forget that their norm had been sharing stages with the Heartland names of arena rock, and pumping out their own idiosyncratic take on the blues-rock genre for years beforehand.
