Whenever any of the metal head musicians I know bag on Zappa I tell them to try and play one of his tunes. They also freak when I tell them that Steve Vai grew up playing lead guitar for Frank. Zappa was a real badass musically. And he gave the record labels hell, too.
Two guitarists I wished I could have seen live: Zappa and Terry Kath.
“Whenever any of the metal head musicians I know bag on Zappa I tell them to try and play one of his tunes.”
That usually does it.
