Who does his playing remind you of.......

Listened to Eliminator, by ZZ Top, today. Been a long time since I listened to it. 1983 release date, 8th studio album, and the most successful selling album by them, with 3 or 4 top hits. I have seen them live a few times. Anyhoo…….Song 4, I Need You Tonight, shows some fancy, and a different, guitar playing style by Mr. Billy Gibbons, than usual, imo. Am I missing something ? Are there other songs by them where his playing style is like this. His playing on this song reminds me of many other guitar players who riff like this all of the time. Opinions, please. Enjoy ! MrD.
