Lozz196 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 No! What a shame, never a real big fan of ZZ Top but remember the Eliminator years fondly. Quote
Daz39 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Aww. No way. I loved me some ZZ Top, especially the bouncing thump of Dusty’s bass. 1 Quote
ubit Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 So sad, I have all of their albums from the early years until the last ones. A real shock. Joey Jordison and Dusty in one day 😢 Quote
JohnDaBass Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Rock solid bass player with a simplistic style that was always there building the foundation of the band. RIP Dusty. Quote
Marvin Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Absolutely gutted. I've always liked ZZ TOP, and have been lucky enough to see them live. This is very sad news, Dusty was damn cool Quote
Delberthot Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Genuinely gutted to hear this. My brother and I drove 6 hours down to Birmingham to see them around 2016 at the O2. Quote
franzbassist Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Sad news. I saw the Top in Dallas in 1989, on the same bill as Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Who. They were superb. It was quite a night. 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Gutted, had heard some great stories from a friend who’d worked for WB records when ZZ Top were with them in the 80’s/90’s - Apparently a very likeable guy. Always admired the ZZT way. Time waits for no Man. 72 isn’t “old” anymore either. Quote

Triumph_Rock Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 A sad day indeed! Will put some ZZ Top on in honour of the man! 1 Quote
grenadillabama Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I saw him in Birmingham,AL when they started with "Francine". Plus two more times. Live, the bass was mixed louder and easier to understand. They were due to play this friday in Tuscaloosa, AL. Quote
PaulThePlug Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Dusty just caught the Buss... Hot, blue and righteous, An angel called me aside. Said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide." I heard the words as I closed my eyes Down on my, down on my bended knees. It fit like a glove and I realized Somethin' good's happenin' to me... Rest Well...

NAS Bass Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I saw them perform many times. He had a style all of his own and we a good singer too. He described his own bass tone as sounding "like a fart in a trash can!" 1 Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Shame . Not a good week , with joeyjordison passing yesterday .. Quote
