The Resume

    (1969- )
    aka: That Little ol' Band from Texas
    Billy F. Gibbons - guitarist (September 16, 1949- )
    Dusty Hill - bassist (May 19, 1949- )
    Frank Beard - drummer (June 11, 1949- )
    Recorded 'Gimmie All You Lovin,' 'Sharp Dressed Man,' 'My Head's In Mississippi,' 'Pearl Necklace,' 'I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide,' 'It's Only Love,' 'Doubleback,' 'Gun Love,' 'Got Me Under Pressure,' 'Give It Up,' 'Cheap Sunglasses,' 'Legs,' 'Viva Las Vegas' and 'Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers'

Why they might be annoying:

    Drummer Frank Beard is the only member without the trademark long beard.
    Although they don't reveal the origins of their name, it seems certain that it is derived from two brands of rolling-paper, Zig-Zag and Top.
    They settle out of court when they were sued for copyright infringement over the similarity of their first hit 'La Grange' and John Lee Hooker's 'Boogie Chillen.'
    They settled a five-year legal fight, paying $600,000 to their sound engineer Linden Hudson, who held the copyright on 'Thug.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Billy Gibbon's earlier band 'Moving Sidewalks' opened for the Doors and Jimi Hendrix.
    Jimi Hendrix said Gibbons was his favorite guitarist.
    They are the only major rock band to have their original members still in tact for five decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s & 00s).
    At a press conference, their publicist wanted to throw out Stuttering John, yet not only did the group demand he stay, but let him ask all his wacky questions, and they enjoyed a good laugh at themselves.
