Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers

This ZZ Top song was performed by Van Halen on 09/18/76 at The Bogart in San Bernardino, CA. It was also performed in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1983.

The original song by ZZ Top had tapping in it, long before Eruption was recorded. However, Eddie had been using the technique before the ZZ Top song was recorded. This is just one of the many debated points in the history of tapping, though neither guitarist is actually considered the originator of the technique.

When Van Halen played the song in their club days, Michael Anthony joined David Lee Roth in singing the lead vocals.
