I saw Roger and Zapp perform in San Diego around 1992. I was hooked!! Roger was such a showman. I was a big fan after that, and bought the Greatest Hits CD. I was saddened whan he was killed. RIP Roger.
Rufus Troutman (a nephew of Roger) has a Gospel cd (No Compromise) using the Troutman fam and the Talkbox....Zapp funk praising God...you gotta check it out...Much Love!
That's sad....sounds like when the money started leaving is when the problems came,they both were probably stressed and things came to a boiling point. The love of money is the root to all evil and to have lots and then lose it is very dangerous....this is mainly why people of their stature kill and commit suicide,shyt is real! RIP to them both and God bless the family
That was such a tragic ending to 2 lives, and brothers at that! I remember hearing it on the radio and being so shocked. I am very happy that the other members of Zapp have decided to remain together.
i read in a book that roger practiced endless hours on that talkbox to define what wa coming out of his motuh, sou you can understand the words that he spoke, many that play the talk box arent clear at all what theyre saying. they said he would even get stomach infection sometimes from having the tube so far back into his throat.
sad sad sad man you couldnt imagine something like this happening to a family,and i wonder how much resentment is held against the other brother? this whole thing seems so fishy,to drive away and shoot yourself while drivng, what an selfish act.
auto-tune and talkbox may sound similar, but are entirely different modes of expression. cannot believe T is brought up during this touching documentary about Rog... ya'll are sick.
Your accusation of the CIA having been involved in Roger's murder IS definitely going far. That's an extreme accusation and if you don't have any concrete evidence to back it up, then you're simply speculating as well. On the other hand in terms of fratricide, it's very real and although it may be difficult to fathom how one could murder his or her own brother, it does exist.
Right on. Me and my lil bro fight from time to time like all siblings do but we're bros...I can't imagine killing my own brother...that's just...crazy. WTF? RIP Roger!!!
The music is legendary....but how the brothers went out is tragic and sad...my prayers are that the children are at peace and know that it wasn't there fault. This unsung was the hardest for me too look at. Who cares about who used auto tune or a talk box.
@ichoosetoworship I see your point, but that's like saying "who cares if Jimi Hendrix played guitar or Guitar Hero?" Or "who cares if Muhammad Ali was a boxer or just played boxing video games on an X-Box?" A lot of people care. Part of the greatness of Roger is that he is the greatest talk box artist of all time. Let's get it right.
@friendofthefunk Its really not that serious.....really. Alll I was saying was who cares about the auto tune or talk box when two brothers who loves one another is DEAD..... really not that serious...Get it right.
@ichoosetoworship Like I said, I see your point, BUT I hope you can see mine as well: that does matter and it is serious. We're not just mourning two men's deaths, we're also commemorating a man's LIFE. We can never undo the tragedy of Roger's murder, but we can at least uphold his legacy by not conflating his genuine artistic brilliance with some current corny trend.
this documentary is cool except for when they contribute to the misconception that tpain uses the talkbox...thats disrespectful to compare tpain to roger troutman...
Omg..I know that feeling ...that pain of losing someone you love so much... I wouldn't wish it on anyone... it just sits in your gut and on your heart forever!
God bless Roger and Larry. What a tragedy! I'm glad that his surving brothers and band members have kept the touch going. God bless their children as well!
@SMOKING5STRING I would not go that far, but you raise a suspicion I've had for years that a very real effort to destroy the R&B band is alive and well. Name one major-label R&B band recording now. I'll wait...
@ajiwa69 So if you know that to have some truth to it,why wouldn't you go that far???? Why do people know something is true but would not allow themselves to go that far??? Of course you know the truth,you just said it yourself.......The answer is NONE!!!!

i've enjoyd zapp and roger for many yearz and still do til this day.. my fondest memory was when i was in 6th grade and "More Bounce To the Ounce" came out.. my oldest brother who is now a part-time dj, had it on a cassette tape. He told me not to touch his stuff...i didnt listen though lolz.. i took it to school with my tape player and jammd it TO DEATH with my friendz..lol.. each yr, i couldnt WAIT to see what they brought out next. good timez.. God bless their familiez. RIP ROGER & LARRY..
As far as I'm concerned, T-Pain is a good writer, great producer, but besides this post I'm making, I can't mention him and Roger in the same sentence. If Pain would make a jam using a real talkbox where you actually have to play the notes you want to sing as opposed to programming them on a computer program, I could bend a little. Even still, Roger's musicanship is just unparalleled. Singularly, he's the one artist I can say made me want to do this music. R.I.P. Roger & Larry
The only person they forgot to mention as far as the talkbox is Teddy Riley why wasn't his name mentioned because he deserve more recongnition than T-PAIN
...that is hardly filled today. It's almost unfathomable how someone you don't personally know can touch your heart like that. That's why Roger & Larry came. And now that they're gone, we have a musical & spiritual legacy to build from. All my love & support to the family & fans. RIP Roger, Larry & Roger Lynch.
I remember chillin' at North Ave Beach with my 9 month old daughter, and decided to turn on the radio. It was a Sunday, and I switched back & forth between stations. I heard Herb Kent talk about someone in the past tense. He and the other DJs talked about how whatever the circumstances were that no drugs or even alcohol was involved. When I heard someone say Funk Legend Roger Troutman died, I damn near passed out holding my daughter. My heart was totally broken. I had a hole in my heart...
Oct 80' I was 18 at Chanute AFB. My cousin was with me, & got tickets to see Commodores. When we got there, there was an opening band playing. I was wondering who these guys were. Then, they broke out into "Alright", and they had my attention. Then, Roger came down on a rope and "More Bounce" started blasting; the place went crazy! I bought every album after that, both Zapp & Roger's. Got a pain in my gut when I heard what happened. It felt like my early years went with Zapp when he left...
i was on my way to meps to do my physical for the army, & i turned on the radio when the "tjms" broke the news. i was like whoa. to this day i am still kinda like that.....anybody else remember where they was or what they was doing when they heard the sad news
@famousfuture .......I can still vividly remember, I was at a friends house on that sunday, and we were all just chilling, playing cards,listening to the radio and the announcer broke in with the news and I swear you could actually hear a pin drop, then we all just started crying, it was so unreal, and til this day still can't believe it, I know that they are both side by side in heaven together and all is forgiven
The good book mentions how "Siblings are born Adversaries." The soul chooses the womb. In a previous incarnation they shared some kind of spiritual agreement/spiritual contract. Whatever or whomever you obsess with or over, you'll magnetize to in a next life. All it takes is a thought which the formless realm equate to desire. "I desire," Scorpio's key phrase. Scorpio rules birth, death & transformation, sex... it's hard to connect the cosmic dots here. Listen/read Sonia Barrett's material.
WOW too this day I think them as a family have resentment towards Larry. I could only imagine how that family got torn apart and they look like they really aren't together as a family still. SOOOOOO very sad!
maybe it's the editing, but it doesn't seem like anyone's too broken up about Larry Troutman. I understand he murdered his brother, but I think he had to be in a very bad state of mind to do something that dramatic. Not saying he should be forgiven, but I think the fact that he committed suicide directly afterwards shows that he never intended for things to get out of hand and that he couldn't live with what he'd done....just my thoughts
This has trully brought me 2 tears. This was a tragedy, that no family should have gone through. I hope their family has finally come 2 some kind of peace and calmness. May God bless them.
@LqrDrnkr757 absolutley right. And on top of that T-Pain has zero talent. We will never be bumping his music in 30 years. Heck we don;t even bump his music from five years ago. It's really ashame how music is total garbage,now.
@tknockerson dude man the fuck is t-pain with his AUTOTUNE SCUM SHIT !????? Talkbox is levels higher than autotune. Autotune is for PPL who doesnt know shit about Music !!!!
@tknockerson T-Pain has some crappy songs, and he has great songs. Roger has great songs. T-Pain just took the baton from Roger and is making good music for this generation. (I'm sure that James Brown fans were saying Zapp was garbage back in the late 70s/early 80s.)

@tknockerson no your comment was dumb and obviously without any proof unless your a fucking fortune teller. simply because he obviously done well enough to be noticed by you and i ass crack. Im willing to bet you over 35 and Just so old fashion to see some else be smart enough to use this tool that no one else is. and by the way dick mouth you obviously hadnt heard tp sing without it cuz he can. Like i said you a crab in a barrel
@smoothcollected go play after school sports and stop replying to me. T Pain ain't even popping now, so how u think he will be in thirty years. Stay in school lil homie. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
@smoothcollected do your thang young bruh. I ain't got no real issues with you. We all have our own opinions. Peace to you rgardless of your musical taste. Peace.
@LqrDrnkr757 Thank you!! That's what I be tryna tell people everytime that conversation comes up. Any clown can sing through Auto-Tune, but it actual talks musical talent, knowledge, and skill to use a talk box. Roger is a prime example of that, along with Stevie Wonder, Peter Frampton, and Teddy Riley to name a few.
@LqrDrnkr757 What's the difference? T-Pain has some crappy songs, and he has great songs. Roger has great songs. T-Pain just took the baton from Roger and is making good music for this generation.
@thoomolong Comparing T-Pain to Roger is ridiculous. T-Pain plays no instruments. Roger played several instruments, and was the world's greatest at one of them. Furthermore, Roger made legendary, groundbreaking songs like "More Bounce" and "Computer Love." What's T-Pain's "More Bounce"? He doesn't have one. Passing of the baton my ass.
@friendofthefunk the saddest thng is that people who dont know are stupid enough to think that what passes for real music today can be compared to what was done in Roger's time.
@thoomolong The talkbox is a highly expressive instrument with which the player simultaneously plays a melody on a guitar or synthesizer and uses his mouth to shape the instrument's tone into words. Auto-tune is a generic, expressionless pitch-correcting effect added to a voice with the click of a button. So while one is an instrument that combines vocal and instrumental performance, one is a crutch that eliminates the need to be skilled at either. That is a big fucking difference!!!
I saw Roger and Zapp perform in San Diego around 1992. I was hooked!! Roger was such a showman. I was a big fan after that, and bought the Greatest Hits CD. I was saddened whan he was killed. RIP Roger.

Any clown can sing through Auto-Tune, but it actual talks musical talent, knowledge, and skill to use a talk box. Roger is a prime example of that, along with Stevie Wonder, Peter Frampton, and Teddy Riley to name a few.

@lilbrowneyez69 well it's not, buddy. Autotune is something anybody could use while the talk box actually involves talent to use.

@LqrDrnkr757 What's the difference? T-Pain has some crappy songs, and he has great songs. Roger has great songs. T-Pain just took the baton from Roger and is making good music for this generation.

@thoomolong Comparing T-Pain to Roger is ridiculous. T-Pain plays no instruments. Roger played several instruments, and was the world's greatest at one of them. Furthermore, Roger made legendary, groundbreaking songs like "More Bounce" and "Computer Love." What's T-Pain's "More Bounce"? He doesn't have one. Passing of the baton my ass.

@friendofthefunk the saddest thng is that people who dont know are stupid enough to think that what passes for real music today can be compared to what was done in Roger's time.

@LqrDrnkr757 What's the difference? They both distort the voice.

@thoomolong The talkbox is a highly expressive instrument with which the player simultaneously plays a melody on a guitar or synthesizer and uses his mouth to shape the instrument's tone into words. Auto-tune is a generic, expressionless pitch-correcting effect added to a voice with the click of a button. So while one is an instrument that combines vocal and instrumental performance, one is a crutch that eliminates the need to be skilled at either. That is a big fucking difference!!!
