ZZ Top이라는 밴드명의 유래는 B.B. King을 좋아해서 붙인 패러디 같은 것이라고 한다. 블루스 기반의, 너무 심각하지 않은 음악을 하는 밴드다. 

 

The name ZZ Top, according to band member Billy Gibbons, came from a tribute to B.B. King. The band originally were going to call themselves “Z.Z. King” in King's honor, but then decided it was too similar to B.B. King. Because B.B. King was at the “top” of the blues world, they changed it to ZZ Top.
