Lanier Greig, Founder Member of ZZ Top, Dies at Age 64. Keyboardist and bassist Lanier Greig, who was one of the original members of legendary rock band ZZ Top, died last week in Austin.

As an actor, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top rocks. Gibbons returns in the season finale at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday as the father of Angela, a member of the show’s quirky crime-solving team. Angela, played by actress Michaela Conlin, is an artist and a free spirit.

Angela’s father is played by ZZ Top member Billy Gibbons, and there have been several indications that the audience is supposed to understand that her father IS Billy Gibbons (albeit a fictional version of Gibbons, since Angela is fictional).

ZZ Top is currently touring across 2 countries and has 54 upcoming concerts. Their next tour date is at Ford Center in Evansville, after that they’ll be at Corbin Arena in Corbin.

Dusty Hill Net Worth: Dusty Hill is an American musician who is best known as is the bassist, keyboardist and co-vocalist of the rock group ZZ Top who has a net worth of $60 million dollars.

The net worth of ZZ Top is estimated to be over $75 million. This fortune has been generated from their career in music where they have been able to release several albums that have done very well. Also, this rock band has performed in very many concerts and shows which they always smash.

In 1969, ZZ Top got its start in Houston, Texas. The original ZZ Top members include Billy Gibbons on vocals and guitar; Dusty Hill on vocals and bass; and Frank Beard rocking out on the drums. The original band members have performed for more than 40 years, which is a distinct accomplishment for rock bands.

Though ZZ Top formed in 1969, Gibbons and Hill did not don the beards until nearly 10 years later, and their decision to do so was by coincidence. “They had always had some form of facial hair, with Frank usually sporting a mustache, while Billy and Dusty had scruffy little beards no more than an inch or two long.”

But there is one car owned by Gibbons that is by far his most famous ride to-date and that car is none other than the chopped 1933 Ford coupe known as “Eliminator”. Featured on two album covers and in three music videos, ZZ Top and frontman Billy Gibbons have certainly aided in making this custom ’33 coupe famous.

Billy had always been a rodder, but the Eliminator was his first car to gain international fame. Demand for public appearances was so high that Billy had California Street Rods construct an Eliminator clone to go on tour. He still owns both cars today, along with several other high-profile rods and customs.

The Eliminator album, which featured the hot Gimme All Your Lovin’ carried the Ford Coupe’s painting as the album cover, along with being in all four videos of the song. The car in the video was bought by Gibbons from the original owner in Arizona.

ZZ Top combined Texas blues with their own unique image, which consisted of long beards, leather and sunglasses. Their hit song “Sharp Dressed Man” is a good way of defining the bands dress code, which can be achieved by using pressed coats and pants, fedora hats and some flashy colors wouldn’t hurt.
