ZZ Top - Pincushion

This is the music video to the ZZ Top song "Pincushion", it's a pretty cheesy video, and it definitely has that ZZ Top 80's feel (even though the song was published in '94). It was published on ZZ Top's Antenna album. The album itself reached no. 14 on the album sales lists, but the song "Pincushion" actually got to no. 1 on a lot of mainstream rock charts at the time.
It's a great song with a great riff and sound. The video is actually pretty good, and fits the song pretty well. It's pretty silly, but fits the sexual innuendoes throughout the lyrics. It's a fun little song, and a good video.

Enjoy ; )

ZZ Top - Breakaway

This is a music video from ZZ Top for their song "Breakaway" from their 1994 album "Antenna". The song is a slow blues, and has some very tasty licks and guitar playing from Gibbons. The album was very popular, and the first single "Pincushion" reached no. 1 at mainstream rock charts. "Breakaway" only reached 7th place on the mainstream rock charts and wasn't as successful.
Frank Beard once said something like "blues is a guitar player's game" meaning that the guitar sound is very important in making a good blues song, and that the bass and drums are there to accompany Billy and not the other way around.
This is also heard on the tasty two guitar sound of "Breakaway", it's two guitars and drums, also performed this way live. This sound is also inspired by Billy's love of Jimmy Reed's dual guitar sound.
A great song.

Enjoy ; )
