Zappa-Fest : Willie The Pimp

[lg]

Well, this is blowin' my mind here BB, I was thinking that
this song or maybe 'I am the slime', would be ideal songs for you
and your guitars wah-wah to toy with.....LOL
Great job on this cover Dave.
Guitar is sweet and vox is stellar!

Thanks very much fellas, now that was a fun one!  My throat was still a little sore the next morning from trying to sing like Capt. Beefheart.  Took me a few red ales to get into the spirit of the song to sing it and play that lead.  Its nice when a song feels so good when working on it, Thanks Frank.

Hey, now this is good. Vocals are brill, BB. You're gettin' better and better, no probs. Bass sounds like you took the advice of an asshole though

I just found that post again, henwrench...I'm going to have to try those settings on my bass some time myself!

Wow, cool tune ~ not familiar with this Zappa tune, but sounds like a lot of fun!!  Really liked you vocals and that rippin wah guitar jam ~ i really enjoyed listening to this Dave!

[Gritter]

Awesome BB! Love your vox on this...and everything else!

Great stuff Dave. 

I'm going to have to put some guitar on my Zappa cover.

And I'm really starting to get into Zappa again.

This is the best thing I've ever heard from you. It all works so well. I don't know the original, so I can just sit back and enjoy the ride with this one. Fantastic guitar as always, but the vox work so damn well. This song feels like it was built for you. And that wah lead is just magic. Incredible.

Thanks friends and fellow Zappa lovers and Zappa WTFers.  You know it is funny, when thinking about doing a Zappa cover, this was the first thing that came to mind and of course my favorite of all the Zappa songs, this one speaks to me, the whole "Hot Rats" album.  So your comment Tim seems to be right on.

It all works so well... This song feels like it was built for you... Incredible.

It really felt like this song was up my alley musically, it fit my style perfectly.  I had two things I wanted to do here, honor the original that I love so much and do one up real good for Geir, It was Geir's wild Zappa enthusiasm that got me so fired up to try this in the first place.  So this was for Frank and for Geir (our resident Zappa expert).  I am so glad it turned out as good as it did and you guys can dig it, 3 minutes of guitar wanking is usually not to everybody's taste (and I shortened up on the guitar wanking, the original is over 9 minutes long, wild Zappa guitar solo there).

9 minutes of guitar wanking is cool for me, I love your guitar
leads BB, always have! Especially when you use your wah....
Ear Candy for sure, for sure.....
