Jim Morrison and The Doors: ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons Reveals What They Were Really Like
- by George Simpson
The iconic sixties band lost their lead singer at just 27-years-old, but Jim Morrison and The Doors’ legacy lives on. During their touring years, The Moving Sidewalks opened for the band. Guitarist Billy Gibbons went on to form ZZ Top and reminisces of his time with The Doors in a new documentary film called ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band From Texas.
Speaking exclusively with Express.co.uk, Gibbons revealed how he met The Doors after being part of an opening act for Jimi Hendrix.
The ZZ Top founder said: “A short time thereafter we did a run with Jim Morrison and his gang.
“The guitarist Robby Krieger is highly underrated; his blues chops are stunning.
“But they actually come through on the very first Doors records – they’re not silent, but they’re a bit understated.”
