JohnRogers Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) "We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top'. We will forever be connected to that "Blues Shuffle in C.” You will be missed greatly, amigo.

Derek19 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I'm sorry, to hear, see, and read this. I like ZZ Top. He was a major contributor to ZZ Top's sound including guitarist. He will be missed, and remembered. My condolences, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Joseph. Edited July 29, 2021 by Derek19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The band formed in 1969 and their recorded output began in 1971. That's 50+ years of a band existence for them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 He injured his hip recently and they had to perform a gig without him in New Lenox, Illinois. The guitar tech stood in for him. They expected him back soon though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Son of a bitch. I`ve been listening to a fair bit of the Top over the last few days, everything from First Album to La Futura. This is very saddening news. RIP Dusty. Even people that don`t know anything, they know ZZ Top. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) To my knowledge, the only band where the original members stayed together without ever breaking up (sit back down Aerosmith) for over 50 years and the only band together continuously longer than Neil, Ged and Al.RIP Dusty.

Nova Carmina Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Oh, no! So crushed to hear this. He seemed so relatable in that Netflix doc that appeared last year. Man, what a legacy of great music. Rest well, dear sir; you have earned it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 RIP I had read about him leaving the tour because of a hip issue. I figured since he was older that he needed a replacement done. One of a kind bass player and vocalist, from a one of a kind band. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I just heard on the radio as I was coming home and I had to hop on here as soon as I got home. Dude was a powerhouse singer and thunderous bass player, and indeed 1/3 of what i believe was the longest running original lineup of any band. Dusty Hill... what a loss... rest in peace. I'm gonna be spinning ZZ Top tonight. Suddenly very glad I did a marathon back towards the end of last year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 RIP, Dusty! :rose: I loved his bass sound. I got to see him back in the 70's, on tour with Aerosmith; it was one of those shows to remember! What a huge loss. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
