ZZ Top’s Gibbons Dancing To A New Tune

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top has never been one to shy away from innovative music styles to flower his bands music. But now he's working on dance music? ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons has collaborated with dance producer David Guetta on new material. "I wanted to know how they did certain things, and of course they were badgering me to bring the guitar to the forefront. They said, 'You know, the only thing missing in dance music is a good guitar player.' I said, 'Let's see if we can bring the two together and make it shake." Incorporating dance music into a blues rock genera isn't going to take away from the sound of ZZ Top. " "It's a far cry from what people might expect. But a lot of people have overlooked the fact that one of the things that made Eliminator so interesting was the opportunity to go into that experimental side of things and fool around with the coolest new toys that could be found in the recording studio. I'm always fascinated by that, so my time in Spain was very fruitful." http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2014-08-11/zz-top-s-gibbons-dancing-to-a-new-tune
