Here is my favorite Interesting ZZ Topp fact: if you shaved off Billy Gibbon's beard and laid each hair end to end, he would be very confused and upset with you
Like country music singer Don Gibson, who couldn't play any guitar except the ones with his last name on them.
They'd probably get him good if he played a Martin guitar.
I went to high school with Frank Beard. Who knew the Red Cross Talent Show would produce 1/3 of ZZ Top? And I would venture that drums are musical instruments - percussion, at least.
Another fun fact is that Gillette, during the "if you can grow it, we can shave it" ad campaign, offered the bearded guys $4 million to shave their beards on camera with a Gillette razor
For a moment none of this made sense and then I remembered we were talking about ZZ top lol. They would look so freaking laughable without the beards no one would even recognize them

Is Billy Euell's son?
That's, like, a 99.95% absentee rate.
Or was that REM?

Unless they already have.
Love them. I was on their show past year when they cancelled due to wind. 😭
Usually didn’t have one!
What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?
A drummer!!

Frankie Mustache, because it was too obvious.
(He did in the early days, but not in their heyday.)
