In the new book "Billy F Gibbons: Rock and Roll Gearhead," the ZZ Top guitarist lays out his love of music and cars. Along with revealing a collection of more than 600 guitars, the book exposes the artist's garage full of custom hot rods, including the famed red Eliminator Coupe that has become forever linked with ZZ Top, thanks to photographer David Perry.
Due in October from MBI Publishing's Motorbooks imprint, "Rock and Roll Gearhead" also finds Gibbons reflecting on more than four decades in music.
ZZ Top -- rounded out by drummer Frank Beard and bassist Dusty Hill -- is in the midst of a North American tour that visits London, Ontario, on Thursday (July 21). A mix of headlining dates and festival/fair appearances, the run will close Oct. 8 in Goldendale, Wash.
