Mike Keneally - Frank Zappa's Any Kind Of Pain Solo

[monkeybutler20]

what effect pedals are used in this

[GigaGroover]

Mike did an excellent job. Very nice Zappa like playing. Only the guitar sound not that powerful.

[ysbnnews]

I TOOK MY MOTHER TO GO SEE FRANK IN CONCERT ONE TIME, NOW WHEN YOU ATTEND A SHOW, YOU CAN SEE GOD SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE.

[VulturesAwait]

damn near note for note FZ amazing!!

[osagecommunications]

What an AWESOME sound

[wuckle]

My Fav Zappa Solo of all time - Brilliantly played!!!

[LukeAir2008]

Great solo. Mike is a phenomenal musician.

[osagecommunications]

I'm not askin you, I'm tellin you. Keneally is underheralded.

[drawlbag]

Great try from the incredible Keneally but this doesn't come close to FZ's original, especially from the Barcelona gig. That really makes you feel good. I miss you Frank!

[wuckle]

@drawlbag The best version of the solo is on the Broadway the Hardway CD/Album and it's always cut short when played live - best Frank Z solo ever imo

[999vai999]

is this solo on the CD version of the concert?

[colinjjbarry]

MK is THE BEST. In my opinion no other musician comes close. If you want to hear a wide selection of his music search - "Keneally Radio" on google and listen to his stuff non-stop. Thats all I listen to these days and it is THE BEST.

[JamoZ46]

@colinjjbarry

I`d say Buckethead gives him a good run for his money....

[zombypc]

@colinjjbarry

Mike isn't the best. He is a genius and deserves all the credit he gets (and a lot more) . There are many musical genius'. Mr Keneally is in the Elite category along with a few others, but not "the best", No one is "the best" - as Frank said , "Music Is The Best"

[rmsolympic1]

@colinjjbarry THE BEST to you perhaps because that's ALL you listen to these days.

[xaviergizmo]

wow, i feel frank himself in that solo

[blairmonster]

I saw this guy live for a demo of his album- Brilliant!... Just Brilliant!

[adam872]

I've always liked this solo from Broadway the Hardway. Mike does it very, very well.

[Bass5el]

A master at work; playing the work of a master. Beautiful.

[ludmer67]

Rares ont été les musiciens à rejoindre FZ dans sa loge le soir de son dernier concert de '88. Deux ou trois, je ne pense pas que Keneally y était. Je n'en sais rien, par contre, il reproduit quasiment le solo de FZ. A ce prix-là, j'écoute Broadway the Hard Way...

[cjmooney9]

Keneally is a genius. He's as fast as anyone when he wants to be.

Seen him play with Vai a few times. Every bit his equal

[faxdei]

@cjmooney9 it's really

[Funkman2069]

this guitar solo is so good! It may not be fast and flashy but it feels so good. And thats awesome because whens the last time a guitar solo made you feel good?

[GDarkstar74]

@Funkman2069

Every time I listen to Zappa.

[hockeytown49341]

@Funkman2069

I agree. Very melodic too.

[Gregorypeckory]

@Funkman2069 Every single day a guitar solo makes me feel good-as does rhythm guitar. As long as you listen to greats like Mike, FZ, Adrian Belew, Allan Holdsworth, Les Paul, Shawn Lane, Debashish Bhattacharya, etc, they will make you feel good.

[OneDownServer]

@Funkman2069 that solo sucks. feel good my ass...

[drawlbag]

Hat. Thank you for buying hat.

[Catsincages]

Here we have the rarely seen "lesser spotted guitar god" preening his feathers, giving us just a glimmmer of his majestic musical plumage before he retreats into relative obscurity from all but the most knowing of ears...

Meow likes!

[briq]

he jjust finished a tour with Dethklok... was an amazing show!

[adam872]

@Catsincages Nicely put :-)

[stevevaizorz]

The part at 1:17 is really something special, very moving with the other instruments

[mmaier2112]

Yeah, MK rocks all night with the tangy flavor of cheddar. One of the most amazing musicians ever.

Now I hope he reads this and comes to Indianapolis cuz he ain't been here for a concert for over a decade.

[LoveStarOcean]

You probably might see him but not exactly playing this sort of music he might be playing Dethklok songs but hes amazing no matter what still of music he plays.

[pthombeaux]

I feel really lucky to have been in the audience at this gig.

[bslz65]

I like how he plays with dethklok now. very versitale musician

[flammaster]

I think Mike does the best Frank impersonation there is!

[rhungri]

i agree!

[NoelGrassy]

el flammaster,

Your word choice may be at fault if I'm understanding you. It is no pastiche when Mikey channels FZ or Bob Fripp or Steve Howe, etc. He kills it almost every time. Can you agree MK never stopped "living and breathing" in his admiration for the fin de sicle's finest musical composer?

He seems to be FZ's torch bearer and who can "out Frank" Keneally? I mean really...avoid using silly for it simply rhymes.

NG.

[DrUFeelbad]

Frank would have been proud as of Mike on this concert,he was awesome.

[krelbar]

He probably WAS proud. He picked the selections for this concert...he was in poor health, but still very much alive. He died 2 years later in 1993.

[mathor]

any tabs for this one? my ear is not trained enough to listen out this one

[pleximold]

in no way belittling where you are at at as a musician, work it out without a tab.

[ToxicFungi]

This is sounds like it'd be a fun track to improv to :)

[Sandbag209]

thank goodness for people like mike

[augustonisenbaum]

i love 0:43 to 0:48 5* awesome a pleasure for my ears

[nzgames]

Keneally is the only guitarist I've ever heard who can actually sound like Frank when he wants to.

[Juulian83]

and warren cuccurullo dude..!!

[boogster123321]

eh maybe

[TheSoftMachineisaMan]

Love Keneally, ever since I got "The Universe Will Provide". Fantastic album.

[OPCXZNN]

Same here.

[drongovids]

Absolutely love the chords at 0:42

[WillBC6]

guitar tone was lacking , good solo otherwise

[drongovids]

lol what a strange objection

[siben]

this is one of my favourite solo's.

[devax1986]

I miss frank. I love the jazzy jamming he did. This guy is great. Respect to him.

[mathor]

Incredibly beautiful solo. My all-time favourite. He almost does it as good as Frank in bthw.

[BolotDuario]

just awesome!! all my life listeing that great sound... personally nostalgic!

[jkoff76]

This is one of my favorite Zappa solos, very jazzy!

[Juulian83]

hey dweezil please call keneally or cuccurullo to play the really hard zappa stuff, they have the really sensitive frank´s music.. peace!!!!!!!!!!!

[tonlitt]

Masterful
