FRANK ZAPPA & STEVE VAI - Black Napkins

[TheAlex6995]

zappa will be god in 1000 years.. and i will follow him then to.

[Neurontis]

This must be the Anti-Ronnie Raygun tour. No, this is a great video, thank you for uploading it. Republicans still to this day need Frank Zappa around to kick them in the balls.

[seanslingerland]

الله هو حقيقي جدا!

[blackfloyd23]

Too bad the audio cannot cut these dildo announcers out without cutting out the synth and drum intro...

[davidofpiano423]

Some people play music, others inhabit it...

[Easleytee]

I saw this exact lineup perform in Miami circa '70.

Positively brilliant exhibition of musicianship and artistry at the highest level.

[robzitinho]

@Easleytee No you didn't.I'm sure you saw a 'Positively brilliant exhibition of musicianship and artistry at the highest level' but not from this lineup in '70.The bass player (Thunes) would have been 10 years old!

[barisgurkann]

@robzitinho steve vai would be 10 years old too :D

[Easleytee]

Zappa was like Miles in his ability to locate and spawn deliciously talented musicians from his musical womb.

[slvrkorat]

look at the people that this band turned out, its amazing to see how all these people effected zappa and he he effected them, what a catalyst.

[grosssover]

this is NOT 1981. year. it's 1987 or 1988.....

[421daniele]

@grosssover Sorry i remember 1981......

[facepull123123]

too bad god isnt real. umad?

[ChimuChipmunk]

Yes, God listend to Frank, too bad Frank didn't listen to God.

[MegaYoshitsune]

@ChimuChipmunk Perhaps God should have said something to Frank?

[Mrthelonius11]

God created Zappa. You bet he listens to him. Listens to you too. No matter what you say,.

[chile601]

i was at this concert and I'm forever grateful RIP Frank

[TheLensworker]

It´s unbelieveable but there was a chick in my neighborhood - told me that Frank is playin Metal. I guess she belongs to the 5 creatures without a brain! Frank Zappa and Steve Vai - it´s mandatory to give thumbs up to the genius an his "son" which is playin´ such a wonderful guitar. The creativity of Frank is immortal and you can´t compare his style to the residual waste of our time.

[MrRicardoguim]

Chad Wackerman na batera. O cara tocou com Zappa e depois com Allan Holdsworth.

[abir12501101]

Wikipedia page of Zappa:

Instruments played: Guitar, vocals, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, synthesizer, BICYCLE.

He was an obvious troll.

[kimjenkins123]

@abir12501101 actually naw he played a bicycle in 63 on a tv show

[NightmareBill]

Tell me if I am crazy...........listen to the first few minutes of Soul Sacrifice Head, Hands & Feet from Moonflower album PART 2 by CArlos Santana here on youtube. Although these are 2 totally different compositions , I hear some kind of strange resemblance,,,,,,,, Love them both !

[mrnobodyunoe]

@Mrgyn: Satinists. They hate god, remember?

[sergeeo]

mtv needs music like this AGAIN

[FunkadelicParanoia]

Jesus Christ I better remember to pick up my face.

[ALEXisSPANISH]

Steve Vai: The little Italian virtuoso.

[48dodea]

Why were they broadcast great music on MTV? makes no sense

[probrojeffro]

He's ahead, during, and after his time. Frank is time. Time space. Eternal. Frank!

[wicalawinyan]

Bozzio could have done better on Zappa's classic....

[panamaredone]

@wicalawinyan Terry could never communicate with Zappa how Chad did IMHO. I love Terry, but just think Chad is a much more sympathetic drummer. I think Zappa felt the same way...

[steviltanner]

god i hate this kind of drum playing

[panamaredone]

@steviltanner Zappa didn't! He loved it

[boffan1988]

Allah listens to Frank Zappa. I posthumously dub him, "al Muziqallah".

[tixximmi]

Wakerman's drumming during Zappa solo's were some of the best. He always was able to support and play off of, Franks dynamic lead.

[nyktophylus]

god preachers ---> just get out

[jhonrox]

who is the drummer?

[nyktophylus]

@jhonrox it's in 81, certainly Chad, anyway, it sounds like Wakerman's playing

[triofdoom]

Chad Wackerman

[stretchgilbert]

Ah Those Halloween Week Shows At The Palladium. How I Miss Them Almost As Much As I Miss FZ RIP....

[adburger]

Look at Chad! This is great!

[IamCully]

lil steve

[Dudika63]

Zappa!!!!!!

[saint7370]

cool seeing young stevie via!

[Free55000]

Wonderfull !

[Fingervogel]

I wonder if somewhere in the universe, there is a other intelligent species that has music, too and what it sounds like :-)

[herrdruhl]

wow, what a band!

[millonety123]

Zappa era increible¡ Este concierto lo tengo y practicamente va todo de 'un tiron' sin descanso entre tema. Wackerman con la misma edad de Vai,(21años¡), otro 'monstruo'. Y todo temas 'dificiles' de tocar. Una pasada de currelo. Ellos lo hacian tan superfacil¡, hoy no hay musicos como aquellos y Frank es un genio ABSOLUTO¡¡

[freak70s]

ZAPPA THE BEST!

[cipanKACAK]

STEVE VAIII !!!! <3 <3

[giovannoniperry]

Where do I begin.Why the fuck do you care who's not watching this?Just enjoy Frank for who he was & still is.I happen to own 86 FZ vinyls,& not once did I berate the guy next to me in the record store perusing the latest ZZTop album for his musical taste.GROW UP!!!!!!!

[timtipton5071256]

@giovannoniperry Ok then....by God I will.... but only because you said to.....hold on to them there records buddy boy, cause there vinyl gold....peace to a Zappa Phi Zuppa Crappa guy like me....ZPZC

[elfhearse]

Happy Halloween Frank ∑

[KenobiM11]

"....and my heir to the throne... the future guitar god of this era, STEVE VAI!"

[VaiRendy]

speak English pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

[erickfullmoon27]

Frank Zappa no era un genio musical cualquiera... Pareciera que contagiaba a todos los músicos que lo rodeaban

[erickfullmoon27]

Cómo mierdas lo hacía? D:

[danielmj85]

RADIO MAN VOICE!!!!!

[panzemeyer]

funny red outfit

[hariskrijestorac]

Lots of modern guitarists play solos that are 90%, 10% mental. Zappa is one of the rare guitarists who plays 90% mental, 10% physical.

Think about it...

[MrTinFoiler]

I bet God listens to Zappa.

[ThePMAnimation]

@MrTinFoiler I bet the only thing Gdd and the Devil have in common is that they both love Frank Zappa...they secretly went to his gigs together...

[Eddieguitarloebs]

@MrTinFoiler Frank Zappa was one of Gods Master Gifts to the world,what ever that means....Let's just get it over with folks, Frank Zappa was the best most versitial musician composer the world has ever seen....that's looking at all his accomplishments as a whole....How can a person not agree with that? Looking at all he has done,name one person that has done more or better....can't be done,Frank is the best this world has ever seen!

[kingflurkel]

@Eddieguitarloebs hear hear!

[TheRealCouncil]

@MrTinFoiler because only broad minded people listen to zappa

[silverfack]

@MrTinFoiler I bet god doesn`t exist.

[k2ombs]

@silverfack You lose on every lottery ticket too....maybe your a loser.....don't bet anymore.

Go with the evidence....It's overwhelming.

[petas874]

@MrTinFoiler Would be very ironic since Zappa was an atheist.

[bernhardsart]

@MrTinFoiler ... of course he does!!!



[Pankratzy]

@MrTinFoiler God wears mustache

[dromadrosis]

@MrTinFoiler Zappa is God :-)

[gumbyonacid]

@MrTinFoiler the universe loves all music...even crap :)

[cymondo99]

@MrTinFoiler YES I DOOOO!

[bassplaysjames]

@MrTinFoiler  zappa is god

[rootbeerjem]

Miss you...Thanks for the show in Rochester in 88.....Broadway the hard way indeed.

[yeahdancetomyrecord]

damn. thats when mtv was the shit.

[Luis9933]

mankind should be ashamed... how can a vid of a nobody like me playing a fuckin theme song on guitar have almost as many views as a vid of Frank fuckin Zappa...

This makes me almost as sad as the fact that i have to precise that pink floyd is involved when looking for a vid of eclipse in this website...

[OpheliaRising]

@Luis9933 You are right, Luis. Not about you being a nobody, but about the fact that it is amazing that this video was uploaded well over a year ago and precious few seem to have seen it. This is what happens when the owners of the media feed the sheeple pablum. Frank's premonition of a dark Nietzschian world has come to pass.

[Danilo8208SS]

@Luis9933 It doesn't.

[Luis9933]

@Danilo8208SS it did 2 month ago

[gubbenpersson]

@Luis9933 just must say you are so right.

and......Zappa made The Vai

(vaien är en av mina favoriter,passion and varfare,flexable....

[lastdaysguitar]

To hear Zappa live when he was having a good night was to hear one of the greatest lead guitarists who ever lived - I will never forget Frank & the purple PA days at the Civic Center, it was as if Hendrix fingers came back to life on Frank's hands.

[LexJacobsLive]

Dweezil played along live with this video during a Zappa plays Zappa show I saw a few years ago. It was really moving.

[peaceiloveyou2]

is that pia talking at the beginning?

[MrMariodave]

@peaceiloveyou2 Nina Blackwood. This c´nt f´ckin ruins the intro!
