The band went pretty far into electronic territory here: supposedly, only Gibbons appears on this song (the synths and drums are all programmed). But the images that we’ll always have in our minds are the guys driving around in their ZZ Top car. And yeah, we usually consider band members not playing on their own record to be foul play, but we’ll let it slide here… “Legs” is just too good to deny.
