Billy Gibbons
William Frederick "Billy" Gibbons (born December 16, 1949)〔 is an American musician, singer, songwriter, producer and actor, best known as the guitarist of the American rock band ZZ Top. He began his career in the Moving Sidewalks, who recorded ''Flash'' (1968) and opened four dates for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Gibbons formed ZZ Top in late 1969 and released ''ZZ Top's First Album'' in 1971. The albums that followed, ''Rio Grande Mud'' (1972) and ''Tres Hombres'' (1973), along with extensive touring, solidified the group's reputation as a hard-rocking power trio. In the 1980s, ZZ Top released their three biggest-selling albums: ''Eliminator'' (1983), ''Afterburner'' (1985) and ''Recycler'' (1990). A wave of music videos for the hit singles "Legs", "Gimme All Your Lovin'", and "Sharp Dressed Man", among others, became mainstays on MTV. Gibbons has made appearances with other artists and acted on television shows, most notably ''Bones''. He was ranked at number 32 on the 2011 ''Rolling Stone'' list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-guitarists-20111123/billy-gibbons-20111122 )〕
==Early life==
Gibbons was born to Frederick Royal ("Freddie") and Lorraine (née Duffy) Gibbons in the Tanglewood suburb of Houston, Texas. His father was an entertainer, orchestra conductor, and concert pianist who worked alongside second cousin, art director Cedric Gibbons, for Samuel Goldwyn at MGM Studios. A percussionist as a youth, he was sent by his father to New York City to study with Tito Puente In 1963, Gibbons received his first electric guitar following his thirteenth birthday, a sunburst Gibson Melody Maker, accompanied by a Large Cat amplifier and was influenced by guitarists such as Jimmy Reed. While attending Warner Brothers' art school in Hollywood, California, Gibbons engaged with his first bands including The Saints, Billy G & the Blueflames, and The Coachmen. By 18, Gibbons went forward forming an artfully designed band, conceptually inspired by friend and fellow musician, Roky Erickson and The 13th Floor Elevators, naming the group the "Moving Sidewalks", penning the hit single, "99th Floor" and engaging a friendship with Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix went on to say on ''The Tonight Show'', and "The Dick Cavett Show" that Gibbons would be the next hottest guitarist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Monthly Talks )〕
