ZZ Top!

Undertoad · 10-30-2003, 10:40 PM

I got a line on being the bassist in a ZZ Top tribute band if I want it. I do want it! I think it would be a total, TOTAL gas!

"No beard required" hehe.

First I need to buy about $1500 in gear though, which is money I don't have. Still, there's a chance a job offer could come through for me this week or next.

The problem is, my voice isn't high enough to sing "Tush" and I'm not sure you have a ZZ Top tribute band if you don't have "Tush". I can sing other Dusty Hill songs, just not "Tush". Hmm.

Tug on your testicles firmly...that should help.

I can't picture you doing ZZ Top songs, but what the hell...go for it.

Well I don't go in for the 80s ZZ Top, but the 70s ZZ Top was searing. "La Grange", "Waitin' For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago", "I Thank You", etc. "Tush" is too bad-ass for my taste but the rest of it is blues plus.

Whether it would really work would be up to how good the guitarist is, which I don't know yet.

Will you have to decorate your bass with cotton?

Undertoad · 10-30-2003, 11:04 PM

Yeah, and get one of those guitar straps that lets you actually spin the instrument!

elSicomoro · 10-30-2003, 11:07 PM

And you have to look just like the guitarist...you'll need a cowboy hat...and dark sunglasses.

Then you have to sing "Cheap Sunglasses."

Once you get by ZZ tops "pop" albums which I love, they get into some real good blues. Blues groupies are hot.

Jesus Christ, can't you see the boy's excited as it is? You might give him a heart attack by putting chicks into the mix.

OH, That's a woody!

I thought it was a land shark.

elSicomoro · 10-30-2003, 11:27 PM

Could have been a dolphin...

Well, if you have one of these , you can make plenty of noise. I lost my picture of Gen posing with it so you have to settle for Mean Dean.

Not a bad piece of equipment for $599 and $50 more for the hard case.

Hey Toad! Cool news! The older ZZ is very groovy greasy stuff. Nasty ass Texas sound- yer right, it rides on the guitar. (this from a hot blues groupie

Even if they dont branch out a bit, hell, you can. Remember: Everyone needs a bass.
