knappster99 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Just wanted to let you all know to go home tonight and listen to some Zappa, Frank specifically. You will be a better person because of it. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I have about 20 gigs of his stuff, in case any one wants to borrow some Quote
NTM Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 if anyone is interested, there's a show Sat night at Neumos with a band that gets described as Zappa meets Tom Waits with some gypsy/carnie influence. Tix are $10 and well worth it. www.wearemanman.com Quote

thatguy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 King Kong! 39 years later and I still can't get it out of my mind Quote
knappster99 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) I'm partial to his jazz/rock stuff, i.e. Hot Rats and Waka Jawaka, but who can resist that "Motherly Love... forget about the brotherly and otherly love, Motherly love, it's the thing for you. You know your Mothers' gonna love you til you don't know what to do..." Edited March 30, 2007 by knappster99 Quote
knappster99 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 Have you heard Jean-Luc Ponty's "King Kong"? Get that one from Weekend_Climberz or myself if not, it's in my personal top 5 albums list. Quote
thatguy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Might have to open up the vinyl vault this weekend and see what I still have. Quote
ZONK Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 San Bernardino ! Rocks ! Jazz fusion stuff is great, One of My fav is "The Basement Tapes" Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 My Makalus got some serious stinkfoot. Quote
crazy_t Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I'm not a total convert, but saw him at the Syria Mosque (small old-school movie theater) in Pittsburgh in 87 and the "Cruisin' for Burgers" encore blew me away. Heavy guitar skills. Quote
joblo7 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 he's awright.....the real shit from the 60's and 70's was miles! that's what every musicians were listening to then .including zap,allman bros, santana,hendrix. Quote
knappster99 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 "Bitches Brew" and Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters" are integral in any serious musician's growth IMO. I don't know how many musicians are on this board, but how can you say you like/play music seriously without taking these into consideration? Quote
joblo7 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 from kindablue to onthacorner!!!!! best bands. best grooves. Quote
ZimZam Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 My python boots are too tight. Â His guitar skillz were legendary. He was an original "rap" artist. He pushed the boundaries of sexual, social, and comical issues. Â Mental Toss Flycoon! Quote
thatguy Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Mental Toss Flycoon! Â moving to Montana soon? Â good one. Quote
