That's because he ain't not no human bean

And a bit more on Wetton for us JW lovers, particularly around the 72-74 era with Crimson's Starless, Lark’s Tongue in Aspic and Red albums 61 Fender Precision , Italian-made Jen Double Sound Fuzz/Wah , Hiwatt valve heads , Cerwin-Vega 4×12 cab - EV drivers

The fabulous John Wetton - ye olde creamey bass tone and great bass line.

I saw them at the 1980 CND rally at Trafalgar Square .. luvvery jubberly

Yes it is, as long as the intonation is set correctly

Cant say rock is my thang, but i have been known to put my foot down when this starts playing. Fab stuff

Generally, i switch off when the slapping kicks off. The only track i really i like that has slapstick is Love Games / Level 42 The rest makes me groan

Depends on the bass, so for fretless, it has to be these. Plenty of mwaaaah

Great track. Here's my fave version...a helluva melody

I am gas free since joining GA

It was good dealing with Paul. No messing about, he paid, i posted, he received. Doesn't get any easier Cheers Paul Pete

Some light relief , FZ lovers. Wonderful labour of love and stunning claymation stop action by the late Bruce Bickford. RIP. You can imagine how long this took, moving every piece of plasticine by a tiny amount and photographing it. Great vocal by Adrian Belew Enjoy

I seem to get ads for sports bras and and Tena Ladies

Zoot Allures is another cracking album

For those not familiar, i would suggest listening to Overnight Sensation. Its a beauty, and as Doc J says, he ranges from Sublime to Unlistenable. I'd put Overnight in the Sublime camp I would avoid 200 Motels. Hot Rats is a good one. As is Sheik Yerbouti and Shut Up an Play Yer Guitar I had the privelege of seeing FZ live at Hammersmith Odeon in the 70's. It was a real treat Just a quick note - Zappa never took drugs, and he never tolerated any drug users in his bands

And Wentz didn't on Play That Funky Music in the chorus !

We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

Aha !

Yeah, that came from an interview with Percy, straight from the horses mouth. I had to dig into my memory trough for that More funny info... Percy built his own flangery wah type thing before they were an effect, and it was well strange. It used to get so hot, he had to use a Peltior system to cool it down, but the sound kep changing depending on how hot it got. He was a bit of an amateur ( but a bloody good one ) lectronix hobbyist It can be heard on early Brand X where wah is involved. I might even remember which track (s) if i rack my walnut
