Just heard Dusty Hill, one of the original founding members of ZZ Top, died in his sleep at 72.

DH was big influence on me. His style and steady bottom end were the perfect foundation for that lil' ol' band from Texas.

RIP, DH!

The bassplayer in ZZ Top passed away at 72 years old. RIP.

RW16610 · 29 July 2021, 05:41 AM

May he rest in peace.

Dan Pierce · 29 July 2021, 06:01 AM

Huge influence on the music I would play, the kind of basses I would play, and how important the "show" in show business really is.
RIP, DH.

I went to a charity concert by Eric Clapton when I was 17 and ZZ Top came on stage as well, and Joe Cocker. Great night. R.I.P. DH

Very sad. Those guys are cool.

sickened1 · 29 July 2021, 06:57 AM

RIP. I used to listen to their music all the time! Sharp dressed man, Give me all your lovin', etc. Seems like that was all the radio ever played back in the 80's.

Great loss in Rock and Roll. Thanks Dusty, Rest In Peace.

Definitely one of Rock's royalty. RIP, provided many great memories.

Been slowly watching my rock idols pass away. When Eddie Money passed, some of my best memories of the 70’s came back. Where to start with ZZ Top?

Indeed

In his sleep, sign me up for that way.. RIP sir

Blansky · 29 July 2021, 09:35 AM

A fun band....

dba · 29 July 2021, 10:04 AM

I'm so glad I got to see them once. It was a cold night in Tahoe and an outdoor concert. They opened with a group of newer songs from a forthcoming album. My future wife was cold, and I suggested we leave.

Being Scottish and careful with my money, she insisted that we stay, since I paid good money for the tickets. Once they got past the opening 30 minutes, it was like a non-stop greatest hits album. Wonderful, wonderful night.

My first album that i ever bought was ZZ-top recycler. I was 5 years old then. Loved their music ever since. zz top has unique sound that no one can not replicate.

RIP Dusty Hill

rmurphy · 29 July 2021, 01:35 PM

Dammit man

I can’t believe I hadn’t heard anything about this before now, thanks for the post Dan …. but damn. I’m thankful I’ve seen them live a handful of times over the years and you’re so right Dan …. Dusty was a consummate professional and his playing was always what was most important. RIP Dusty
