You DOLT!

It's an act, a stage gimmick.

Ironically the one member who does not have a beard is named FRANK BEARD!

ZZ Top mainman Billy Gibbons has revealed that he and bandmate Dusty
Hill once turned down an offer of $1 million (£638,000) to shave off
their beards. The singer, who has sported a very lengthy beard since the
late '70s, told Brave Worlds that he and Hill were approached by
Gillette, who offered them the staggering amount of money to shave.
Though still a hefty wedge by today's standards, the offer came in 1984,
meaning it would be worth $2.25 million (£1.44 million) in 2012.

Asked why he turned it down, Gibbons said: “No dice. Even adjusted for
inflation, this isn’t going to fly. They prospect of seeing oneself in
the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film … a
prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation.”
