Dusty Hill

“Elvis Presley's Sun stuff - there's an album out in England with just about all those sides on it - you know, the sound of that upright bass slapping away: that's what I like to listen to. That and Richard Pryor, that is.”

“People got to know us from hearing us live because there wasn't much publicity or radio airplay for a long time.”

“We got pretty techno on 'Eliminator' and 'Afterburner,' which I enjoyed. I think they're good albums, but we wanted to start using the techno element a little more sparingly.”

“I'm a sex symbol. Is that wild? It blows me away. I mean, I've always known it, I just figured nobody else did.”

“In any relationship you have times where it gets tedious. But that becomes a strength. That you are able to hang around someone even when they get on your nerves.”

“Some thought it strange that we incorporated synthesizers in our music but the equipment was there so we just figured out a way to use it.”

“Billy's an interesting guy. He's got a lot of varied interests.”

“We wrote 'Tush' at a soundcheck in Alabama in about six or eight minutes.”

“Some people unfortunately don't enjoy what they do at all for a living or whatever. That is unfortunate. We do always enjoy playing music.”

“We are unique because we're the same three guys, and as Billy says, playing the same three chords.”

“I like the cold.”

“Every album has its own character.”

“I don't know if it was a single-blade or one of those straight-edge razors, but I used to play in bands that were, like, show bands and would play different clubs, and, in those days, I would go to the barber twice a week.”

“I love movies and I'm interested in watching how they're made and everything.”

“I'm living proof that Hepatitis C can be contained and that ZZ Top cannot.”

“Even if I were to retire, I wouldn't shave. Everyone I know, including my wife, has never seen me without it.”

“Country music, like rock or blues, can move over into a lot of different areas.”

“Basically we're a blues oriented rock 'n' roll band... easy to listen to.”

“I love the beards and the cars and the girls and the different guitars, but I'm not at all caught up in the image thing.”

“A long time ago, you couldn't say what you mean in blues. You had to disguise it, and that's where the double entendres and humour comes from and that's where we come from.”
