How ZZ Top Kept the Synths and Stayed Hot on ‘Afterburner’

Watching the video for ZZ Top 's lead single from Afterburner , you might have surmised they were leaving the synthesized blues-rock of Eliminator behind. After all, the central image from their "Sleeping Bag" clip is the destruction of the car associated with ZZ Top's previous blockbuster release.

Listening to the music, however, said something different. If anything, ZZ Top doubled down with Afterburner , released on Oct. 28, 1985. And a new-found fanbase was ready for more of the same, turning "Sleeping Bag" into ZZ Top's highest-charting single ever. It tied the earlier "Legs" at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, but made the trio's first-ever run to No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Subsequent singles like "Stages," "Rough Boys" and "Velcro Fly" made liberal continued use of mechanized drums, stabbing keyboards and various computerized loops — instantly placing Afterburner in a certain time and place. The result: During a time of great upheaval in the music business, when many of their classic-rock brethren were falling by the wayside, ZZ Top remained plugged into the zeitgeist – and lodged well up on the charts. The five-times platinum Afterburner sold about half as many copies in the U.S. as did 1983's Eliminator , but it got five spots higher on the Billboard album list and one higher on the U.K. chart.

"The Eliminator and Afterburner days were actually big changes in every aspect of what we were unexpectedly encountering, both onstage and in the studio," Billy Gibbons told the Quad-City Times . "It was and is experimental 'this and that's' every day. And, of course, at the same time, some things never change as well. Pretty girls and hot rod cars go together, as always. That part doesn't have to change much at all."

In keeping, the deep cut “Woke Up With Wood” – it was all scroungy licks and lecherous intent – connected directly back to ZZ Top at their kinky best . And even at this, the zenith of ZZ Top's experimentation with electronics, hits like "Sleeping Bag" made room for a bit of Gibbons’ patented guitar squall.

"At the root of it all is still the blues – tried and true," Gibbons added. "Just when the effect seems simple, the complexion becomes quite complex. That's the keen mystery of this purely American art form. However, our go-to motto remains, 'You can't lose with the blues.'"

Recent tour reviews

Disappointing! After spending $340 each for VIP tix (not even front row/meet and greet) the show only lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes, probably the shortest concert I have ever attended. The guys seemed a little tired and bored, which is understandable after 50 years together or possibly because they just flew in from England. The sound system wasn't the best either, way too much bass overriding their vocals.

Report as inappropriate

ZZ Top performance was amazing.

The venue had some issues. The sound was very imbalanced in the beginning, almost could not hear Billy Gibons voice.

There was some trouble with the crowd too. Some people were fighting over standing versus sitting (it's a rock concert not the symphony, get up and dance I say!). In my opinion the usher was a bit too harsh on the dancing people. He was very rude to the ladies dancing and another guy ( just attending the show) even grabbed the arm of one of them. At that point it was way over the line. The people complaining about the non sitting attendees were very inappropriate (even got in my face), but nothing happened to them.

I am not sure about the finer details, but I do not believe the ushers were well trained in de-escalating conflict.

Well, they did not disappoint. After the warm-up act, Tim Montana (who, by the way, fit right in and was worth seeing), ZZ Top came out and were very loud, played all their hits, and were well worth the price of admission. Billy Gibbons even called out our fair city Cheyenne on more than one occasion. They were very entertaining and sounded great after all these years. Great time.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
