London, England -- Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top needed a ride to their gig in London last week, so he took the fastest way: the subway. Gibbons tells the BBC he wanted to ride the subway -- or the Tube, as they call it -- because he likes being a tourist.

He bought a ticket and immediately found out that his subway line had broken down. He took a bus to another subway line. He says one guy looked a little "edgy" at him on that route, but it turns out he was holding a ticket for the ZZ Top show. Would Gibbons take public transportation again? He says he might, because he beat the rest of the band to the gig by 45 minutes.
