Description
Produced by the Emmy award-winning Banger Films, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS tells the story of how three oddball teenage bluesmen - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard – became one of the biggest, most beloved bands on the planet, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band’s inception.

Buoyed by candid band interviews, never-before-seen archive, animation, celebrity fan testimonials (Billy Bob Thornton, Joshua Homme and more), and an intimate performance at the legendary Gruene Hall shot exclusively for this documentary, “That Little Ol’ Band” runs the gamut, from the absurd to the poignant, from squalid Texas bars to MTV heroics, all in celebration of this notoriously private, but larger than life, power trio. In the end, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS unravels the extraordinary tale of a band whose image we know, but whose story we don’t.

This is a darn good documentary. But as with the Kansas doc a couple years ago, it stops at the dumbest time. It goes from their beginnings and stops at Eliminator. :arrgh:

But the interviews with the guys are great. I'm on to the bonus parts now.

Oh, and it's funny to see Billy Gibbons before the big beard.

And yes, I made this little image a few minutes ago to show the differences. You're welcome.

I watched this on Netflix
Great to see a documentary that actually focuses on the music and not the drugs and lifestyle that many music documentaries have

Pretty well done for what they cover, but it ignores 30 years of a 50 year career.

I was not impressed.
