Talk:Got Me Under Pressure

Linden Hudson's involvement

It is noted that information about Linden Hudson continues to disappear from ZZ Top articles. However, the references to what Linden Hudson did with respect to the Eliminator album are iron solid references. Book references can be given by David Blayney (15 years as ZZ Top's stage manager), and by Deborah Frost (writer for Rolling Stone), and by David Sinclair (writer for the London Times). Wikipedia is strange. Is it about facts? Often it is not. It often seems to be about fluff and hype. We'll see how that pans out in the future (signed-Texasman444).

Here's another huge reference about Linden Hudson's involvement, from Billy Gibbons himself, as he breaks his 30 year silence about this matter: Billy tells journalist Joe Bosso (musicradar.com) on June 3, 2013: "This was a really interesting turning point. We had befriended somebody who would become an influential associate, a guy named Linden Hudson. He was a gifted songwriter and had production skills that were leading the pack at times. He brought some elements to the forefront that helped reshape what ZZ Top were doing, starting in the studio and eventually to the live stage. “Linden had no fear and was eager to experiment in ways that would frighten most bands. But we followed suit, and the synthesizers started to show up on record.

ADD ON INFORMATION - FOR DISCUSSION, BUT FACTS ARE FACTS: Let me get more precise and specific about this WIKI article (topic) and, in fact, all articles and topics written in Wikipedia about The Eliminator Album. For now, let's just touch on this song "Under Pressure". On the topic page of this subject it states at the bottom "Bass: Dusty Hill, Drums: Frank Beard." Well... of course most people know by now (more than 35 years later) that they did not play on the song. Nor did they co-write it. It's documented in books (especially by David Blayney, their stage manager and original roadie) that Frank and Dusty did not play bass and drums on Under Pressure, instead it was bass synthesizer and digital drums programmed on the final version by Terry Manning but originally (on the design and writing tapes) this was done by Linden Hudson. So, of course, this makes Wikipedia references incorrect, wrong, fantasy, fiction, etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.232.71.77 (talk) 17:17, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
