Ha, I recently picked up, er, the one directly before Eliminator. Terrible. Must have been the start of the slide.

The cover is great though. And by great I mean I find it mildly amusing.

problem with the old zz top stuff is that it sounds amazing on vinyl, but was really destroyed for the cd re-issues. i mean really destroyed, and seemingly the masters are now destroyed, so they'll never be fixed. so you'll need to find it on original vinyl. off you go

I got it on vinyl.

D0njo · Jan 26, 2011

Yeah, I've got 2. Do you want one? You can't have it.

Ha! The first comment- "I was playin em in a 69 GTX with a 8-track player. lol yea I'm freaking old."

That's not exactly difficult to be fair.

I like El Loco.

I didn't know that. Lucky I picked up virtually all their 70s records for about a fiver in Berlin a few years back. What a score.

This is very true of the Rio Grande Mud CD. Have all the others on vinyl.

some of the original ZZ Top CDs (not remasters) sound fine.

Just in case you ever wondered what a band with a bear on lead vocals might sound like....

I'd pretty confident in my assertion that this is not a contender....

The Greatest Rock Song Of All Time- Jack Blacks next shite film.

Anyway, hearing this when I was 10, in the film Wayne's World, absolutely changed my life.

aaaannndddd

By flash and thunderfire I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
THEN I'LL GET YOU
