Gibbons Puts His Foot Down Down Under (video)


Billy Gibbons
took time out from ZZ Top's Aussie tour with Guns 'N Roses to attend the Leadfoot FestivaL, a New Zealand event honoring the Down Under racing legend Rod 'Leadfoot' Millen on his 62d birthday.  The ZZ Top guitarist packed more than his instruments for this tour - he also had one of his favorite cars transported so he could drive the '58 Ford Thunderbird up the steep, hair pinned driveway to Millen's ranch along with former race car drivers.  Gibbons stomped on it, smoking the tires of his Mexican Blackbird as he flew through the corners leading to the festival site.  See the video.
