Man it's crazy thinking that ZZ Top is that band that's just been there all your life playin in the background on radio, tv, parties, coverbands or whatever and the actual band was still going strong after all these years. Sadly i've never seen them.
All the stories they collectively have after so many years on the road would probably fill volumes of books.
Sidenote, La Grange is one of those tunes alot of my students wanna play not realising it's not just a simple shuffle beat but you gotta add your snare to the shuffle beat to get that Texas Shuffle going which is not easy in that tempo, especially not if you wanna make it swing and feel relaxed.
Frank Beard is just superb on that song!
