In 2005 we were at Barrett-Jackson and had drinks with Billy at the hotel we were staying at. A couple things stood out: Was very polite, talked to all of us at the table and answered questions. Body hygiene was at the bottom of his daily list of things to do. And that shower cap / do rag he wears has to go.

Meh it’s fine as long as Billy still wants to I got no problem with it I’d go see them
The part about him faking it is a bit disturbing thorough
I get it but people get too worked up on having all original members

Gibbons can do what he wants. I didn't know Beard died.

He already tours as Billy Gibbons.
And he tours as ZZ Top.
Very few classic bands have their original lineup.

Foreigner, Journey, Megadeth, Smash Mouth, Skynrd, Yes, Molly Hatchet, Little River Band, etc, etc, etc.
all still touring with no or just one original member.
Megadeth doesn’t belong on this list. They have always been a Dave Mustaine vehicle, with a rotating lineup from day 1. As long as Dave is there, they will always be Megadeth.

Billy Gibbons is 76 years old. It’s not like he has a decades long career ahead of him. ZZ Top has been an oldies band for a long time now, whatever he does now the music will be the same
he wrote the songs he can do whatever he wants
Pretty much what I was thinking. It's not like there's a long train ahead of this.

Yes. It’s time. Just be Reverend Billy G or something of the sort.

It's his band, he can do what he wants. This idea that a band can only be the original members is stupid.
This. Get a life, people.
