    I got into FZ back in 1992 when a friend of mine played me sheik yerbouti. I’ve loved the guy ever since
    Any fans here?

    I’ve been known to listen to the occasional Zappa tune. ‘Hot Rats’ is a pretty sweet album, i like the horn section in Peaches. I not really into his comedy side though. His instrumental stuff is where it’s at.

    Actually, I’ve been looking around for more of his instrumental stuff

    Any recommendations?

    I got really into Zappa a few years ago. It’s not something that I have on every day but still something I come back to consistently.200 motels was great!

    I recently…within the past year or so really started to listen to Zappa. I don’t know much of his music yet but I do enjoy what I have heard so far.

    Zappa explored so many musical bounderies for me, without him i porobably wouldnt be into so much fusion and experimental music as i am. so yea, huge fan:)

    BTW. if you like Zappa check out Edgard Varese, one of Zappas main influences=)

    Hi guys,

    Frank Zappas’ music is complex, full of musical vurtuosity, nuts, and hilarious all at once. I’ve listened to Zappa music for many years. Now Dweezil is carrying the Zappa torch. I think it’s great.

    I got into Zappa predictably because of Vai (“Ship Arriving too late to save a Drowning Witch” period) and as with Vai himself I do have to be in the mood to listen to him – but he is one of the truly original musicians of our time šŸ™‚
