Re: Tank Zappa
Through his sonic wisdom, that man taught me all the right things about life & music at the right time... and I remember three days after he died back in 1993, we saw Steve Vai live here in Orlando & he did a moving tribute to the man who influenced him to play "stunt guitar"

Re: Tank Zappa
I just figured it out... all these Tiger crewmen in my "Schwere Panzer Regiment Franke" on headsets are obviously jamming out to Herr Zappa!

Re: Tank Zappa
Can anyone tell me the story behind this photo? To me, the resolution is too crisp & modern to be from WWII, and although most of the tank looks like a real Tiger, the front hull extensions are waaaay too thick, and they've added a step & handgrip on the front to emulate Tiger 131

Re: Tank Zappa
What is more, Herr Kommandant looks a bit middle-aged and seems to fill the hatch opening.

Re: Tank Zappa
Thank you for introducing me to Frank Zappa. Spent yesterday listening to his music.
You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.

Re: Tank Zappa
Grew up listening to his more mainstream stuff like Dancin' Fool, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, Joe's Garage, Valley Girl.
Read a mass of his quotes this morning and his take on society--one in particular--is as alarmingly accurate today as it was in the past.
Mike.

Re: Tank Zappa
FZ's take on things was not only unique & timely, but he walked the walk; he was the most effective speaker against the PMRC in Congress back when they were trying to censor music... I wish we could all hear what he'd have to say today!
