Hard Rock and Metal Musicians React to the Death of ZZ Top’s Dusty Hill

Rest In Peace #DustyHill of @ZZTop. My thoughts go out to @BillyfGibbons and Frank Beard and all the #ZZTop fans around the world pic.twitter.com/FLu71RF62V— Ozzy Osbourne (@OzzyOsbourne) July 28, 2021

WOW! Dusty Hill. What an icon. @ZZTop ’s bassist forever. So unique. Always a gentleman from the days of us opening for them through the recent days of them opening for us. I don’t know what to say but “Thank you” and “Rest however you damn well choose!” https://t.co/tHfjLy1xbj— Paul Stanley (@PaulStanleyLive) July 28, 2021

Tough week in music. Damn.

Dusty Hill was the kind of musician that could be in a world famous band, & be satisfied with making it work. Like Rick Laird, who also passed on recently, nobody seeming to notice. Getting it done with humility is the opposite of the narcissism that fuels modern music culture.— Vernon Reid (@vurnt22) July 28, 2021

@ZZTop redefined Texas. If the state doesn’t declare a day of mourning for Dusty Hill? SMH. We’ll know just how far things done gone wrong. https://t.co/OxRVRqN300— Vernon Reid (@vurnt22) July 28, 2021
