Are ZZ Top the Greatest Gay Band in America?
 

Ok, before you start wondering, here is the evidence.

1. ZZ Top were huge in the 80s. In terms of Rock n Roll lore, this means intense female interest. No three members of da Top were exactly Brad Pitt types but, even so, they would've got 'interest'. Unfortunately, the one thing generally recognised to be a bit of a 'no-no' for females is excessive facial hair. Two members of the band sported such excess and, as such, might reasonabl;y have been thought of as targeting an entirely different group. In effect I'm suggesting that both Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons are bears.

2. Their one non-bearded member, the ironically named Frank Beard, does at times have a startling resemblence to Tom Selleck: an actor that throughout the 80s developed a large gay following. That's another niche covered!

3. The video to their hit single 'Legs' proved highly sexually arousing at the time for teenage boys like myself. So far so good, except that the same could be said for the excessive stockings and suspenders count of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax video.

4. The wrote a song called Rough Boy.

You've been drinking.

Bears or not, they were embracing drum machines way before their contemporaries.

You've been drinking too.

I have indeed, but you have to admit that there's a persuasively strange logic to my claim

Just remember who you heard it from first. That's all.

I'm thinking that a whole lot of ZZ fans, having still not quite come to terms with Freddy Mercury, might be in for an even bigger shock when discovering that 'Gimme all your Lovin' was not about quite the type of lovin' they had in mind.

pansy division are the gratest gay band in america

they are like morrissey with chin mohawks.

they rock, though, or perhaps rocked then had hits that were good songs.

"Hell yeah."

I saw ZZ Top live a couple months ago. They kick so much ass. If ZZ Top is gay, I don't want to be straight.

As a man witha full beard I can assure you that the pussy gets wet the nipples get hard and the mouths open slightly in anticipation when the ladies see the beard coming.

ha!!!!

ZZ Top will outrock 99% of what is out there.

did anyone see that concert o guitarists that was broadcast a few years ago, some sort of guitar tribute to guitars, and eric clapton was in charge of it?
the final night, the final slot, was given to ZZ TOP, because HOLY FUCK can they rock a show.

Yeah, I saw that during my local PBS station's pledge drive once. AMAZING.

Actually, I hate to let you down, but my wife used to work in a strip club in Austin, and they would come in. Of course they could have been gay if they were just looking at the shoes, but that wouldn't explain "La Grange", now would it? I'm sure there are some southern bears who are mighty let down, but these hombres save their "pearl necklaces" for the lucky ladies.

pansy division is the greatest gay band of all time

Except for Priest!

Husker Du are the greatest 2/3rd's gay band ever then.

You make good points. But, I can't agree
