Ukuvela kweqembu le-ZZ Top
UBilly Gibbons ungumdali weqembu, ongumnikazi wombono nomqondo walo oyinhloko. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi iqembu le-ZZ Top lalingelona iqembu lokuqala alidala. Ngaphambi kwalokho, ubesevele ethule iphrojekthi eyimpumelelo kakhulu, i-Moving Sidewalks. Kanye neqembu, uBilly wakwazi ukuqopha amathrekhi amaningana, okwathi kamuva kwadalwa futhi kwakhululwa i-albhamu egcwele ngokugcwele.
Nokho, lo msebenzi wahlakazeka maphakathi no-1969. Ekupheleni konyaka, u-Gibbons wayesekwazile ukudala iqembu elisha futhi akhulule eyokuqala, i-Salt Lick. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi leli culo libe yimpumelelo kakhulu. Ungene ekujikelezweni emsakazweni waseTexas, abantu abaningi bendawo baqala ukumlalela.
I-single inikeze abaculi ithuba lokuhlela uhambo lwabo lokuqala ngokuhlanganyela. Nokho, lokhu kuqanjwa kwakungahloselwe ukubamba isikhathi eside kakhulu - abaculi ababili babuthelwe ebuthweni, futhi uBilly kwadingeka abheke abazongena esikhundleni sabo.
Ukwakhiwa kweqembu le-ZZ Top
Kodwa ukwakheka okusha sekuphenduke inkolo futhi kusalokhu kungashintshile. Ikakhulukazi, umculi oyinhloko nguJoe Hill, uFrank Beard wadlala izinsimbi zomculo, futhi uBilly wathatha indawo yokuzethemba ngemuva kwesiginci.
Iqembu liphinde lathola umdidiyeli walo - uBill Hem, owadlala indima ebalulekile ekubunjweni kweqembu. Ikakhulukazi, wancoma ukuthi abafana banake idwala eliqinile (ngombono wakhe, lesi sitayela singaba yimfuneko, ikakhulukazi ngokuhlanganiswa nezithombe zangaphandle zabaculi).
Inhlanganisela ye-hard rock ne-blues isiphenduke ikhadi lokushaya le-ZZ Top. Ibhendi isivele inezingoma ezanele ukukhipha i-albhamu. Kodwa akazange avuse isithakazelo sabakhiqizi baseMelika. Kodwa isitudiyo saseLondon iLondon Records sinikeze inkontileka ezuzisa kakhulu.
Okunye okuhle esinqumweni sabaculi wukuthi iqembu lodumo i-The Rolling Stones likhiphe izingoma zalo kulebula efanayo. Ukukhululwa kokuqala kwaphuma ekuqaleni kuka-1971. Enye yezingoma yaze yashaya ishadi le-Billboard Hot 100, kodwa lokhu akuzange kukhulise ukuthandwa kwayo. Kuze kube manje, leli qembu alibonakali phakathi kwezinhlobonhlobo zemakethe yomculo eYurophu naseMelika.
Ukuqashelwa kokuqala
Isimo saba ngcono ngokukhululwa kwe-disc yesibili. I-Rio Grande Mud yaphuma ngemva konyaka futhi yaba yinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Ngokuvamile, isitayela sahlala sifana - umphefumulo nedwala. Manje ukunakwa kwakugxile ku-hard rock, okwakuyisinqumo esihle.
Ukukhululwa, ngokungafani nokwangaphambilini, akuzange kubonakale. Kunalokho, abagxeki bawuncoma umsebenzi, futhi iqembu lagcina libatholile izethameli zalo futhi lathola ithuba lokuvakasha.
Kube nenkinga eyodwa kuphela. Naphezu kokuthi i-disc yayifakwe ku-Billboard, futhi iqembu laziwa ngaphandle kwe-United States, lalingekho ithuba lokucula ngaphandle kwe-Texas yabo yomdabu kanye nezindawo ezizungezile. Kalula nje, abafana base bevele beyizinkanyezi zangempela ezweni lakubo. Kodwa bezingekho izinhlinzeko zamakhonsathi ezivela kwezinye izifundazwe. Futhi lokhu naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi emakhonsathini abo "ekhaya" babekwazi ukuqoqa cishe 40 abalaleli abayizinkulungwane.
Impumelelo ekade ilindelwe yeqembu ZZ Top
Obekudingeka yicwecwe elizokhipha wonke umuntu ekhuluma ngeqembu. I-Tres Hombres, eyakhululwa ngo-1973, yaba i-albhamu enjalo. I-albhamu yaqinisekiswa ngeplatinum futhi ithengiswe amadiski angaphezu kwesigidi esingu-1. Izingoma zokukhishwa zishaye i-Billboard, njengoba kwenza i-albhamu ngokwayo.
Iyona kanye impumelelo abeyidinga kakhulu abaculi. Iqembu selidume kakhulu e-United States. Manje base belindelwe kuwo wonke amadolobha. Amakhonsathi abesezinkundleni ezinkulu zenkundla ezikwazi ukuhlalisa abantu abangu-50 XNUMX.
Njengoba uGibbons esho kamuva, i-albhamu yesithathu ingenye ebaluleke kakhulu emlandweni weqembu. Ngenxa yeqoqo, leli qembu alizange lidume kakhulu eMelika kuphela, kodwa futhi labeka isiqondiso esifanele sokuthuthukiswa kwalo, lathuthukisa isitayela esifanele futhi lathola umsindo ofanele. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, umsindo wawubuyele ku-hard rock.
Manje i-blues kwakuyisici esibonakala kalula sabafana, kodwa hhayi isisekelo somculo wabo. Kunalokho, yayisekelwe kusigqi esinzima nemigqa yebhesi enolaka.
Isiteji esisha kwezobuciko
Ngemva kokuphumelela kwe-disc yesithathu, kwanqunywa ukuthatha ikhefu elincane, ngakho akwenzekanga lutho ngo-1974. Kamuva, lokhu kwachazwa ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu entsha kungadlula ukuthengiswa kwendala, ebonisa izinombolo ezinhle kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, i-LP Fandango entsha enezinhlangothi ezimbili! yaphuma kuphela ngo-1975.
Uhlangothi lokuqala bekuwukuqoshwa bukhoma, uhlangothi lwesibili bekungamaculo amasha. Impumelelo, ngokombono wabagxeki, yayihlukaniswe ncamashí ngesilinganiso sika-50 kuya ku-50. Abagxeki abaningi babiza ingxenye yekhonsathi ngokuthi yimbi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, bancoma izinto ezintsha ze-studio. Kunoma ikuphi, i-albhamu ithengise kahle futhi yaqinisa isikhundla sebhendi.
Irekhodi elilandelayo likaTejas belingahlolwa. Ibiqukethe amahithi okungenzeka ukuthi afinyelele amashadi. Kodwa leli qembu lase laziwa kakade, ngakho-ke ukuthengiswa okuhle kakhulu kwaqinisekiswa ngisho nangaphandle kokukhululwa kwezingoma eziphezulu.
Ngemuva kwekhefu leminyaka emibili, ibhendi yafika kulebula ye-Warner Bros. Umculo futhi wathola isithombe "sentshebe ende". Kwenzeka lokhu nje, abaholi ababili baleli qembu badedele intshebe ngeminyaka emibili, kwathi lapho bebonana, banquma ukwenza “iqhinga” labo.
Ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu
Ngemva kwekhefu elide, abafana basebenza ekuqopheni izinto ezintsha. Kusukela lapho, bakhiphe i-albhamu njalo ngonyaka nesigamu. I-albhamu yokufudumala ngemuva kwekhefu bekuyi-El Loco. Ngaleli qoqo abaculi bazikhumbuze yize i-albhamu ibingemnandi.
Kodwa ku-albhamu ye-Eliminator, bahlanganise iminyaka bengekho esiteji. Izingoma ezine ezingashadile zibe yimpumelelo kumashadi ase-US. Adlalwa emsakazweni asakazwa kumabonakude, abaculi bamenywe ezinhlelweni zethelevishini nakuzo zonke izinhlobo zemikhosi.
Eyokugcina phakathi kochungechunge lwama-albhamu avala izindlebe kwaba yi-Afterburner. Ngemva kokuyikhulula, uGibbons uphinde wamemezela ikhefu elifushane elithathe cishe iminyaka emihlanu. Ngo-1990, ukusebenzisana noWarner Bros. yaphela ngokukhululwa kwe-disc elandelayo, eyayibizwa ngokuthi i-Recycler. Le albhamu bekuwumzamo wokugcina "incazelo yegolide".
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, bengifuna ukwelula impumelelo yezohwebo isikhathi eside. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abaculi babenentshisekelo kusici somculo we-blues sokukhululwa kwabo kokuqala. Ngokuvamile, konke kuhambe kahle - sikwazile ukugcina abalandeli abasha futhi sijabulise abadala.
Ngemva kweminyaka emine, kwasayinwa inkontileka nelebula le-RCA futhi kwakhululwa enye impumelelo ye-Antenna. Naphezu komunye umzamo "wokuphula" ngemidiya enkulu nomsindo ojwayelekile, i-albhamu ibe yimpumelelo kwezohwebo.
