The two were also in a band called the Outlaws. Frank joined Billy Gibbons’ band The Moving Sidewalks in May 1969 and introduced Gibbons to Hill. The band became known as ZZ Top that July, and after signing with London Records, they released “ZZ Top’s First Album” in 1971, followed by 1972’s “Rio Grande Mud” and 1973’s “Tres Hombres.” Beard began abusing cocaine, heroin, and LSD after the band became successful, and ZZ Top went on hiatus for three years, beginning in 1976, while he sought treatment for drug addiction.ZZ Top had their first Platinum album with 1979’s “Degüello, then 1983’s “Eliminator” was certified Diamond and 1985’s “Afterburner” went 5× Platinum.

ZZ Top has also released the live albums “Live from Texas” (2008), “Double Down Live” (2009), “Live at Montreux 2013” (2014), and “Tonite at Midnight: Live Greatest Hits from Around the World” (2016).
