Frank Zappa - Fifty-Fifty

[puntagordy]

Also great bass guitar.

[puntagordy]

What a carnival ride of three different solos really makes this song.

[Flunder]

Oh man. this takes me back to a great time in my life. gettin out of the boxes. learnin theres more to guitar than the jerk off blues scale. thanks frank rip.

[DeLuxembourgh]

GREAT

[Kompass705]

Love the bassline !!!

[AtomikDyke]

omg! I could only find a live version sung by other ppl!! the original! that rocked my childhood! for some reason my favorite since day one.... "I just might have something to sayeheyyyyyy"

[Rhon243243243]

Tonight my breath is Chartreuse :)

[Piff47]

I bought this album in '79, and recently I noticed that every guitar solo are gritty, aggressive sounding..... Montana is the best solo on the album.

[bennelong]

Best Violin Solo ever,..... Brilliant

@Somali1213 lol

[fortheloveoftunes]

Did he ever appear together with "Alice Cooper"?

[NihilistSlacker]

@fortheloveoftunes I think Alice Cooper opened for him a few times back in the late 60's and early 70's, but that was before Alice was the Alice we all know, this was back in the pre-iconic make up and acid droppingly weird era of Alice.

[terrypussypower]

One of the most utterly fantastic guitar performances ever layed to tape ! Fucking mindblowing !

[benjiboy576]

That poor guitar.

[kybo61]

Get that Hammond. Dang. This whole album, I didn't appreciate it when I was 18 but now I'm in my 50's and have had a few decades to absorb the complexity and awesomeness. I commend the 15-year-old kid who told me way back then that Zappa was worth listening to and we (um) smoked mega weed and soaked it up.

[Flash45]

hummm pretty good odds to me

[EricStJohn]

dumbass. that's jean luc ponte, the world class violinist. shitty solo indeed. oh. THAT shitty solo. more like the grandpa of shred. retract aforementioned dumbass reference.

[rainbowneznarf]

The odds be fifty fifty! That i want to marry one of his sons just so i can carry on the Zappa name!!!!!

[mdees100]

life is 50 50.

[MrAske]

That guitar solo is so shitty. And it's the best shitty guitar solo ever.

[chocolatedonut31]

@MrAske Its not a guitar solo. Its an electric viola.

[MrAske]

@chocolatedonut31 Yes, before the guitar solo there's a violin solo, but at 3:36 the guitar solo starts

[mikeymaccs]

insulting nugent mentioned in the same musical room as Zappa, us hould be bitch slapped dude

[quadgemini]

Nowhere near the best song on the album, and yet so great it makes my head spin. This album is just the most amazing thing ever!

[thrashmetalkills]

Anyone think of Ted Nugent when they hear this?

[quadgemini]

@thrashmetalkills Seriously, dude? Nugent would need a MAJOR upgrade to kiss Frank's ass.

[thrashmetalkills]

@quadgemini oh certainly not the writing/music, just Ricky Lancelotti's over-the-top vocals

[kroggwaff]

this be so tight imma gonna die

[fugallik]

wow! thanks for this!

I use to listen all the LP while my browsing.

thanks to you

Im a FZ fan, love him very much, I miss him ;)

ciao



[KelsoNfun]

That's conceptual cotinuity at it's finest haha

[earthless1990]

even violinist jam

[assfacedfucker]

I love that solo

[barynsky]

A masterpiece years ahead of it's time, George Duke, Jeanluc ponty, and the guitar master himself Frank Zappa, all render golden classics on each solo. Sit back and enjoy.

[alroy43]

This vocalist was amazing, Frank always had the best musicians...

[afterdinnersmoker]

@alroy43

Ricky Lancelotti.

[wedgem]

R.I.P. Frank! Your body of work lives on! Still never ceases to amaze me and gives me great pleasure and so much joy! Thanks for giving Jean-Luc Ponty the opportunity to do the incredible violin solo. This song is unquestionably a true masterpeice!

[didoleibniz91]

one of the best compositions

[SUNSHINESBETER]

superb ...very yummy!

[DeadlySpecies]

Napolean Murphy Brock!!!
