That's sad news and may he rest in peace.. Who didn't have the wonderful Eliminator album...?! Great tunes, great video's too..!

[Skyedriver]

That came as a shock!
Note Billy G has been going solo for a while, is that because Dusty was ill?

[ddom]

Genuinely gutted.

[Turn7]

Gutted.....

One of my very favourite bands ever.

RIP Dusty.

Remember seeing them live and watching them spin the furry guitars during Legs. The place went wild.

RIP Dusty

My first ever concert, Wembley, '86. Love them. Eliminator got my attention but the back catalogue is something else.

Along with Frank Beard, he was the hammer that knocked the nail in for ZZ Top.

Gutted. Awesome musician, awesome style. RIP dude.

[Pupp]

Very sad to see this on the Beeb this morning; eyes a bit Dusty. Unfairly early departure considering the massive amount of good vibes he added to the planet.

Gutted. I had hoped, suspected even, that the good ole boys were immortal.

Utter legends. Worth watching the recent documentary on Amazon.

What a great loss, my early years had Eliminator as the soundtrack.
The cars and women in the videos, happy memories.
R.I.P Dusty and thank you.

Gutted. Just gutted

I think he was 52 years in the same band. That's quite something.

They were one of the bands I wanted to see live before they stop touring. I see Billy Gibbons is quoted as saying that 'the show must go on' and the band's guitar tech Elwood Francis will play bass, but it won't feel the same as it's not the original line up.

RIP Dusty

Great band ! I only recently discovered their earlier albums before the Eliminator. I'll be playing 'Le Grange' on loop tonight
