Wake Up to Guitar Greatness
Billy Gibbons, “Tush” (Live, Capital Centre, Landover, 1976)
Billy Gibbons says ZZ Top wrote Tush in three minutes, jamming the riff at an afternoon soundcheck in a dirt-floored Alabama rodeo arena. It became their first Top 20 hit.
This is the 1976 Worldwide Texas Tour, the one with a live buffalo and rattlesnakes onstage.

When he tumbles down the stairs, I honestly can’t stop laughing. I showed this to a 15-year-old who had never heard of Peter Sellers or The Pink Panther, and when she saw this scene, she nearly peed herself laughing so hard!

Debbie Harry leaning on the hood of a white Ford Thunderbird under a street lamp at night, in a cropped white top and loose white trousers. Photo by Chris Stein.
Stein was much more than the man behind the camera. He co-founded Blondie with Debbie, played guitar in the band, co-wrote many of its songs, and was her partner for more than ten years starting in 1973. Even after they split as a couple they stayed close friends and kept working together.
All the while he was taking pictures. He photographed Debbie constantly, along with the artists, musicians and writers around them in downtown New York, from CBGB regulars to Andy Warhol. In 2014 he collected those photos in his book Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk, and this one of Debbie and the Thunderbird is among them.
Few bands had a photographer that close to the action, because he was in the band.
🎸 Debbie and Chris wrote Heart of Glass together. Did you ever see Blondie live? 🎸

#LAMFriday Less than 5 years separates these 2 pictures - from the NY Dolls debut album back sleeve snapped by Toshi to the Post Dolls photo reunion organized by lens-woman Roberta Bayley yet each band member appears to have lived several life-times in between.

“Disposable Heroes” is one of the longest, most aggressive songs Metallica ever wrote, an eight-minute anti-war assault.
This is Germany, 1985, the night they debuted it live, months before Master of Puppets even came out. And it’s one of only three times Cliff Burton ever played it. He’d be gone a year later.

“Gentlemen, we need a new commercial and I’m ready to listen to ideas. Smith?”
“Well, boss, what if we got the guy from Alice and Pete Rose to sing a fucking duet about smelling like a man?”
“You’re going to run this fucking company one day, Smith.”

Every year, Rory Gallagher came home to Cork to play Macroom, Ireland’s first open-air rock festival.
In 1978, he made it legendary. He rolled up in a car, grabbed his battle-scarred ‘61 Strat, ran straight up the steps with no soundcheck, and tore into “Shin Kicker.”
Pure rock and roll.
