It’s a quote he gave in the season finale of “Bones” when his character (himself) was asked for advice. When the person he said it to said, “I don’t know what that means.” Billy Gibbons replied, “You either know what that means or you don’t.” No. Are there any ZZ Top fans or musicians doing this?
At first I thought he was talking about a diminished G key, but it’s not a key, it’s a chord.
If you ignore the “demolished” part, the key of G major retains a resonance that is very easy for the human ear to hear (barely better than the other keys, for the most part) and is easy for singers to adapt to. to the tessitura. Enough that Garrison Keillor often requests that the Star Spangled Banner be played in GM (instead of Ab or Bb Major) so that the average person can sing it more accessible as the melody is difficult, spanning an octave and a half. G is one of the most used clefs in classical and popular music. This is partly due to its relative ease of play on keyboard and string instruments.
Ok, there are a lot of theories here, let me approach this from a guitarist’s point of view.
G is one of the simplest and most rounded chords and chord progressions. And Billy Gibbons is a deep south hard rocker. So what he means by “Always playing the key of G Demoshed” is simply, living life fast, easy and when all else fails, smash ****.
Alternatively, it could mean just hitting G and adding lots of distortion and crunch. XD
demolished meaning
I think if Billy Gibbons said “G demolished”, he meant “G demolished”. It has more than most a
precise fist on a Fender. Very few reach the level of a 3-piece band like ZZ top.
Reverend Billy. “Rock we demolished my Texan brother.
(((((Linz))))) I think there is judgment and then there is JUDGMENT. When I remind people, as I often do, that they judge people in direct contradiction to the gospel they claim to adhere to (Mt 7:1, for example), they usually come back with something like “we judge every day”. . daytime. How can we not? But you’re right: having opinions, esp. when a person’s actions threaten to harm them or infringe their rights, it is not only natural, it is necessary. If someone says, “The Bible says to love one another and not to judge, then those people who hate and judge and laugh at each other, even though they call themselves Christians, don’t seem to be very Christians”, it is an “I . which is more of a factual opinion on what I perceive. But when a person says, “Because you don’t use the same religious terminology as I do, or because you eat meat on Fridays, or because you sprinkle instead of bury, you are not SAVED and God will send you to hell”, i.e. it is a judgment. This is a presumptuous and arrogant opinion. This is the kind of judgment that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:1 etc. Of course, you still have the weird fanatic who believes that simply disagreeing with him is a treacherous act of demoralizing judgment. They tend to be the ones unaware that their personal opinions may not be pure, unadulterated facts. In my experience these are usually “blind beliefs” and once told not to think about their beliefs they have no recourse to argue an honest opinion except to complain that you are judging them for their disagreement. Sorry it’s too long. I can’t say anything in less than 2500 words. No, I’m not a talker… I’d rather think it’s *familiar.*

RE:
ZZ Topp’s Billy Gibbons says, “Always play the demolished G key. What does that mean?
It’s a quote he gave in the season finale of “Bones” when his character (himself) was asked for advice. When the person he said it to said, “I don’t know what that means.” Billy Gibbons replied, “You either know what that means or you don’t.” No. Are…
Answer 7
when playing a cover for a vocalist, the easiest key to play is G, however, some artists have a huge range. Billy Gibbions played for many singers in his day, so he always ended up playing in the g…ish key. the tone of G is good as it handles well most singers playing it demolished or ..ish g is your base you always come back to but you throw in a bit of exra when needed so don’t get stuck in the tone of G .Play the G key demolished.
It means always being ready for the unexpected and being able to change when necessary (or live life on the fly)
