zappa spanking stevie hello everyone, new poster
Are there any Zappa fans here? What is your favourite album, and can people recommend relatively unknown stuff? I am really into his live albums (You can't do that on stage anymore, especially vol.5) and albums like hot rats. The hard guitar albums I guess. I would like to get to know other stuff, but he recorded too much.
Anyhow, this has always been one of my favourite clips: Zappa spanking Steve Vai. Though Steve Vai seems much more technically proficient on guitar than Zappa (at least to my untrained ear), I would pick Zappa as the winner of this 'battle'. He is an awesome guitar player

Ah thanks, I see I should have used google.
I will check these threads out. I did not yet hear the music you posted, so thanks for that. Great tracks.
That is chad wackerman on drums on black napkins right? Great drummer. I discovered Zappa when I was 16 or so, the day he died. My dad started to frantically tape the concerts on tv, one including chad zuckerman on drums. I listened to that concert many times, but never bought more from zappa. I only started doing this recently. | |

My best friend russell, his dad is Robert Martin. The singer of Steviws spanking & the keyboard player.
This is a classic of Zappa Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Thanks! Nice to see some of his work with orchestras. I did not check that out yet. | |

Cool. This dude?
I kid...
He was the keyboard player in the concert through which I came to know Zappa's work. He is a great singer. He and Zappa perform a great version of 'whipping post', and he also plays the sax. Great natural talent. Here it is (all of you probably know this already, but whatever...)
