Sun & Moon Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Heard this sad news yesterday morning. :( Rest in peace, Dusty. :rose: I played a few ZZ Top songs on my bass late in the evening to honour your music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Billy Gibbons said recently that a new ZZ Top album was being recorded. So whether it'll be finished now or not, or if it is, will it feature Dusty's bass parts, I don't know. Billy also said that Dusty gave the ok for the band to finish this tour. I guess what ever the issue was, Dusty knew he might not be back to finish it. I guess Dusty's bass tech will fill in for the rest of the tour.Unless they decide to get someone more permanent. Or maybe this guy will be the bass player from now on. As long as it's not the groomer from Megadeth. Bassist sells but nobody's buying him.

invisible airwave Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 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. U2 still has all their original members since the band formed in 1976.Yeah U2 has outlasted Rush. 52 years for the Top Pity U2 have sucked for years. They sound like those poppy faux "rock" bands like Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons now and Boner is a self righteous wanker who simps for Monsanto.

treeduck Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 What about this guy?? He's an obvious choice, a great bass player, around the same age, and he has the beard too! And he's a fan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there's footage of him that's pretty compromising, but I thought I'd read that the girl who was also in that footage denied having been groomed and denied having ever done anything inappropriate while she was underaged. Please tell me if my info is faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me if my info is faulty.I'll say this much, even if he didn't groom her and even if he didn't fukk her (both claims are questionable imo) when she was underage, just the fact that he was talking about things of a sexual nature and had obvious interest in an underage GIRL is fukking wrong, wrong and oh yeah, WRONG. It's scumbag bullshit, pure and simple and the effects of sexual abuse on underage children (yes, they are children) are often devastating. I saw it first hand when I worked as a group home counselor for pre-teens and teens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
