Did anyone else think the Duck Dynasty guys were ZZ Top

[BainsBane]

The first time you saw them? I saw them on Jimmy Kimmel and thought, oh, ZZ Top.

1. At first their sharp dressing confused me.

Then they pulled out the duck calls instead of the cheap sunglasses, and I figured something was up.

[BainsBane]

3. the question is, which sounds better?

Duck calls or ZZ Top?

[In_The_Wind]

2. No. Cause I watched ZZ Top before.

[BainsBane]

5. I've only seen videos

and from ages ago.

[In_The_Wind]

7. I saw ZZ Top on a magazine cover in 2010.

[BainsBane]

13. Yep, I remember those songs

and the videos. Never been among my favorite band, but definitely a classic.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Ok. I enjoyed 'em. Maybe some of the younger DUers missed hearing the songs.

[Aristus]

4. No ZZ are pretty much unmistakeable.

Even without that cool '34 Ford roadster they had back in the '80's. The Eliminator, was it?

[BainsBane]

6. Check this out

Really?

[Aristus]

8. I have a short, well-trimmed goatee. I don't think

I could live with all that fur tickling my chest all the time...

[BainsBane]

9. there are advantages

like a ready-made bib. Keeps the mess off your clothes.

[Aristus]

10. Those guys don't look as if they'd be concerned about messy clothes...

n/t

[bluedigger]

11. You can hide a lot of weed in there, too.

[BainsBane]

12. Now we know

the real reason for the endless beard!

[Aristus]

14. Well,

it has to serve some practical purpose, now, doesn't it?

[LeftInTX]

16. Naa, cuz ZZ Top are local.

One of their guys with the long beards comes out on a local liquor store commercial. Also the long bearded ZZ Top guys have red hair and my son was friends with one of their cousins and he has red hair too.

[BainsBane]

17. San Antonio?

[LeftInTX]

18. The liquor store commercial was in San Antonio

But, I think they're from Houston, but they're pretty much considered local cuz they used to perform around here a lot.

[olddots]

19. Can you do harmonics on a duck call ?

[sendero]

20. ZZ top....

... has only 3 members, the same 3 members since they "solidified" in 1970. Also, two are bearded and one not at all, and the two that are have really really long white beards, not the wimpy beard of that guy in the middle

Ok, you are probably thinking I looked this stuff up. Well, I did, to verify what I already knew, I hate being wrong on the intertoobs.

And I am a big fan. Billy Gibbons is in the top 3 blues guitarists of all time IMHO. He is simply amazing.

[BainsBane]

21. Cool

but not being quite so familiar with them myself, I was operating based on bears alone.
