Do Brits really call ZZ (ZeeZee) Top- ZZ (ZedZed) Top, or is that a fallacy cooked up by Wayne's World?

Certainly you guys could make an exception.

That's a good question. Here it is indeed Zee zee.

That last clip suggests they use Zed zed in Japan.

However you might listen to them in your Zed28 Camaro.

Are Zed-Zed-Top still around? I only have a dim memory of them as one-hit-wonders with really long beards back in circa 1993.

What was the song Stopper?

They were much stronger in North America in the 1970s and 1980s.

This cheeky bugger might think so. You judge.

(By the way, for the life of me, I can't remember the Zed-Zed-Top song, but in the music video, they were in a desert standing there with their guitars, and a car raced past them. I don't know if that'll help.)

Gimme All Your Lovin'?

They called the car the Eliminator and it belonged to Billy Gibbons. It was the theme of the album with the women.

Here's a story on it.

Your memory is somewhat lacking, in the UK they had several top 10 hits, around the mid-1980's.

I like their stuff from "Gimme All Your Loving" on, but before that they kind of suck.

Amusingly the only person without a beard is called Beard.

When they started Frank was the one with the beard. I can't find a decent video for the first one but you'll like these songs. They're before the "Eliminator" album.

Yeah, that's the one...1983??

Posted: **Sun Oct 07, 2007 11:14 am**

out of the 20 or so albums of theirs I have, my fave is the rarest one: "ZZ Tops First Album".......because of course, it WASN'T their first album. They couldn't "sell" it to the labels, so put it away till after they finally got a contract, and had put out 3 or 4 albums for the label that signed them. Then they produced and released it themselves......little trivia for ya.... :wink:

And ya, either La Grange, Tush, or Bell Bottom Blues are my fave songs by the Zed.

We demand pictures of Cadzilla, preferably with you sitting in it.

Yeah 1983, that was in the nineties, no?
