Sad news again at the passing of another rock legend Dusty Hill of ZZ Top at the age of 72, who has died at home in his sleep.

Coincidentally I have been listening to a fair bit of ZZ Top recently, especially some of there earlier blues stuff and have to say I reckon they were massively underrated before their more commercial and successful 1980s 'pop' period. He perhaps was living on borrowed time if you read his obituaries, particularly the '84 incident when his Derringer gun fell out of his cowboy boot as his girlfriend was removing it, hit the ground and shot him in the stomach ! Sounds like he had a few adventures along the way. RIP Joseph Michael 'Dusty' Hill

I always found it ironic that the only member of zz top without a beard was the drummer, Frank Beard
