ZZ Top

Band returned to the stage with a performance in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The late musician was a frequent guest star.

"Give Elwood the bottom and take it to the Top," bassist told Billy Gibbons.

John Fogerty, Flea, Slash, David Coverdale and others share condolences following his death at age 72.

"You will be missed greatly, amigo," his bandmates said.

Bassist counts the animated experience among his career highlights.

“Manic Mechanic” came about after Billy Gibbons heard disguised voice on TV show.

"It was the '60s, man," Dusty Hill says.

Band leader was inspired by posters that filled band’s hangout room.

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons appears in a new video for a song from Captain Kirk's Christmas album.
