John Smith Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Wow, it really does not seem like the 60's were that long ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yea, but it really was. I mean look how long Frank's been gone and all this crap with his kids and everything. 1966 - seems like ancient history - remember the Vietnam war? Long long ago. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 There's a nice article on Zappa and his politics in the Chicago Reader (July 7th) I would post the link, but don't know how to do it from a phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Was messaging a VC member about FZ Roxy-era recommendations, and I have two:Road Tapes #2Roxy by ProxyBoth available from ZFT now for under $20! Of course, I also recommend the original Roxy album, along with the albums that came out before and after that (Overnite Sensation, Apostrophe, One Size Fits All, etc.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Dweezil's reaction:Yeah, what a complete fucking joke (unfortunately not). Great tweet: "Is that a real Zappa or is that a Sears Zappa?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Dang, that whole family is so screwed. Gail split them in two, and her death did nothing to reunite them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 More from Dweezil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just think of all the money being spent on lawyers. They should get their shit together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Say what you will about the ZFT, since Gail's death, they are releasing some awesome shit. Check out this 6-show Halloween '77 set. https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/09/frank-zappas-1977-halloween-residency-to-be-released-as-158-track-costume-box-set/ Sorry, Dweez, I would much rather listen to six Frank shows in 24-bit audio for the rest of my life than go to another Dweezil Covers Frank concert. I won't drop money on the hologram BS, but I need quality versions of these shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I’m team Dweezil, but I’ve never been able to get interested in seeing a FZ cover band. If it’s not FZ on guitar, I’m not interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Nice one, ZFT: http://www.zappa.com/news/frank-zappas-legendary-1973-roxy-performances-captured-definitive-seven-cd-boxed-set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Dang, I haven't even ponied up the dough for the '77 box, and now there's a '73 box? This is great stuff, but I have to admit I'm not in a hurry to get it. I've already bought Roxy, Roxy by Proxy, and the movie. I've got too much FZ as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
