ZZ Top - She Loves My Automobile

Band: ZZ Top
Song: She Loves My Automobile
Album: Deguello
Genre: Blues Rock

While listening to Blue Öyster Cult yesterday I managed to stumble across ZZ Top somehow. I'm mildly concerned that I'm about to go on some sort of Classic Rock run, but I feel like I'll be able to avoid that.

Here's a solid song from them that's not as popular as some of their others, which is what I'm gonna try to do for as many of the next few bands I post as possible. It'll make me look for more obscure tunes and it'll showcase some bands lesser known tunes. Good times.

ZZ Top - I Gotsta Get Paid

Band: ZZ Top
Genre: Texas Blues

Who loves covers that totally change the song to something new? You freaking know I do.

ZZ Top took the song 25 Lighters and changed it into something wonderful and new that I actually didn't know was a cover until I found it in a list of "Worst cover songs of all time". You know what they were saying about it though? They were saying that a "bunch of old white guys all think it's a song about selling weed" because the writer seemed to know nothing much about ZZ Top's frontman, Billy Gibbons.

Billy G was once arrested for trying to shoot his girlfriend with a gun in his boot, ok? But while he tried to pull it out he accidentally shot himself in the foot. Well he get's himself to the hospital and as they're taking off the boot and a couple bags of heroin fall out.

These guys know what this song is about, no fear self hating article writer.

ZZ Top - Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago

ZZ Top is a band that has been around forever, they are quite literally legends.

While you're probably familiar with a couple of their usual singles, this one is mildly less popular. Actually it's 2 songs, but they need to be played together, otherwise you're cheating.

I'm not gonna waste all my ZZ Top facts, cause I know they'll turn up here again. Hey, a man needs to keep some stories for later, right?

Blues/rock masters, ZZ top. Enjoy!

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
