Rocky Hill, one of the founding members of bearded rock giants ZZ Top passed away last Friday. Rocky was the brains behind the band’s 1983 hit ‘Legs’ as well as many other songs from the legendary group’s catalog. Sadly, Dusty Hill, brother of Rocky and current guitarist for the band had cut off contact with his brother due to feelings of ill will between Rocky and Dusty’s wife. Dusty actually ended up disowning his brother at the height of their arguments. The brothers never reunited face to face before Rocky passed away. Dusty did have plans to attend his brother’s memorial service in Texas.

Aerosmith have put their work on creating a new album on the back burner for the time being and will instead go on tour with ZZ Top. Some time ago health issues caused the band to put on hold their recording sessions but this time they are going to first complete the tour and then get back into the recording studio.
Guitarist Joe Perry summed it up for the band in one line saying; “We realized there wasn’t any chance of getting it finished before we hit the road for the summer.” June will see the starting of the 40-date North American tour. Though the complete itinerary is yet to be announced European and South American dates are also being considered.
Wow man Aerosmith are one hell of a rocking band and seeing them live on stage after a gap of more than 2 years shall be a treat for every fan.
