Book Reviews of Billy F Gibbons: Rock + Roll Gearhead
Book Review: This is a beautiful, lush book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful, lush book - and I haven't even read it yet, just looked through the pictures which are so, so fabulous. It's a big book, about a foot square, 192 pages, so it weighs some with content to match. Basically three sections, Billy's music history, some of his hotrods and lots of his guitars. The photography is great. The cars are stunning. His guitars look great. I'm sure he won't give up the story behind the name ZZTop but there's a reasonable section on the bands history. I'm not sure if the guitar made from Muddy Waters shack is in here yet. But....
At Brixton on their last tour in the UK Billy asked the crowd "Do you like my new guitar ?" Everyone roared yup. "Bo Diddley gave me this guitar" Massive cheer. "And Bo said what you gonna do with that guitar boy ? I said, I'm gonna tear this sucker down." And they did. Big time. There's some lovely pics of that guitar here. I wish I had that magic moment in Brixton on DVD. Legend has it Hendrix gave him a guitar when in Texas cos he thought Billy's playing was so good. Gifted guitars from Hendrix and Bo Diddley - who's CV reads so fine anywhere ?
I'll have to read the text in the book now.
Clearly for fans of ZZTop, hot rods and guitars but anyone picking this up off the coffee table would be impressed.
