Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 I picked up Sheik Yerbouti today and I'm digging it so far. Maybe I can "get" Zappa after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 By removing "Treacherous Cretins", "Ship Ahoy", "Pink Napkins", "Beat It With Your Fist", "Stucco Homes" and "Canard Du Jour", I have condensed the 3-disc Shut Up N Play Your Guitar to a single CD. To be fair, the 3-CD release was only to mimic the original 35-minute EP releases, but still... most fuckers charge $35-40 for about 1.5 CDs worth of music (though I finagled it for $20 somehow) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 Trying to find Frank Zappa CD's (that aren't best of...) are next to impossible to find, unless I want to shell out +30 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagle Man Report post Posted March 9, 2007 That's strange. Many of them are only $12 in the US. Try ordering directly from Rykodisc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2007 So I've been playing Sheik Yerbouti almost non-stop since I picked it up yesterday. Is the consensus to pick up Over-Nite Sensation next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted March 10, 2007 You can't really go wrong with it, but I'd grab Zoot Allures or You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 So I'm still new to this whole Frank Zappa thing, but I'm really into his long guitar improvisations (e.g. "Yo Mama"). Are there any albums that feature a heavy amount of his exploratory guitar work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Download "Willie The Pimp". It is basically a long guitar solo, and in my opinion it's superior to "Yo Mama". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any albums that feature a heavy amount of his exploratory guitar work? Well, the Shut up and Play.. set is just that; long noodling solos. The most impressive thing about those discs to me is the studio technique of taking random tape of his band and synching it up with tape of his guitar work/studio guitar recording. Guy's as brilliant of a producer as he is a guitarist. That said, that 3 disc set is incredibly bloated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
