  • jesus hated BALD pussy

  • @analagony jesus also hated wearing shoes

  • Frank would never cover this so close for one thing...at first i was going what?? then i knew right away!

  • Not Frank Zappa or Don. This is clearly an oddly mixed version of the original Hendrix tape or an alternate take with lots of echo. I too, age 63 have seen Frank more often than I can count, and he certainly could have duplicated the Hendrix solo, but why would he? He's a genius in his own right and would have given it his own interpretation. Did he copy Jimmy Page note for note on Sairway to heaven?

  • Really, skeptics? One of the very few good things about being 64 is having seen him play for hours on end in the Garrick Theater, Greenwich Village in '67 (btw Jimi was down Street billed as Jimmy James and His Blue Flames). I can tell you first hand, this man's capabilities as a guitarist and composer were unparalled in his time. What a cheap shot to cry "fake" for such an awesome tribute. if you don't appreciate musicianship, fo watch Jersey Shore or something else 100% wasteful.

  • I dont know why a lot of you are saying this isnt zappa. It's clearly Ike Willis on vocals. One of Zappas longtime singers and it sounds like Frank's guitar tone to me. Pretty true to the original structure wise so i dont know how you can tell it isn't him just by listening since the tone is mainly what your going on and it sounds dead on. Also I like how Ike Willis' voice is similar to Hendrix. This song will always be amazing.

  • talent

  • who cares!~good shit..dont feed the pelicans

  • zappa ???? maybe vai ?! btw. ugly video

  • Go listen to Zappa &/or Hendrix. This ain't either of them.

  • I don't know who can it be, maybe mike keneally?

  • I have a Hendrix album and it sounds exactly like this,it can't be Zappa.But he could play Little Wing,and probably has,but this aint it.

  • I don't know if this is Frank Zappa. But its definitely not Jimi Hendrix, I can tell you that much!! Whoever thinks this is Jimi's voice has not been listening to enough Jimi.

  • its not frank.

  • Wow, this is great. Zappa never surprises me with his great tunes there are still so many I haven't heard. Sounds like jimmy hendrix !

  • Not zappa! Someone covering jimi hendrix.

  • this is not FZ

  • My Labrador approves of this video, the cats are quite intrigued too.

  • No fuckin way is this Zappa. Neither the guitar nor the voices sound anything like anything he did.

  • Take zappa out of the title please

  • THIS IS NOT FRANK ZAPPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What's wrong with you and the pigeons ?

  • well its def not beefheart thats for sure

  • Jimi

  • it doesnt sound like zappa...

  • GILIPOLLAS!

  • esa es la voz de hendrix.

    la concha de tu hermana

  • def not zappa guys!

  • FAKE, absolutely not Zappa on guitar

  • Zappa + Hendrix = AWESOME!

  • whats with the video

  • What he said!

  • WTF..

  • Comment removed

  • What the hell is that at :15? It looks like a pelican swallowing a pigeon or duck alive!

  • it is wat it looks like a pelican swallowing a live pigeon

  • @alargedog a pelican swallowing a little wing haaaa

  • @guitarcapo yeah, that was on the news a couple of years ago. people made a big deal out of it like they never saw one animal eat another animal before.

  • @guitarcapo it was a pigeon

  • how stupid can some people be, thats hendix, with zappa and beefheart pix beefheart doesn't even sing like hendix!

    Dumbass

  • @Pierce1978 how can anyone mistake hendrixs with zappas or even beefhearts voices??? this is so 100% jimi. i dont know what the rest of the guys think????

  • Read my post again, i'm not saying it's zappa and beefheart, i said thats hendix!

  • @Pierce1978 i know what you meant, thats why i was talking about the rest of the guys ;)

  • @DGoldmay See my comment above. This is Zappa, no doubt.

  • @Pierce1978 Bzzzzzzt! Fail. I forget who is singing on this recording, I believe it may have been Buddy Miles (???) but this is most definitely Zappa - his guitar sound is unmistakable. I also saw Zappa do versions of "Stairway To Heaven" and "I Am The Walrus", and this sounds like the same singer he had then.

  • The singer is Ike Willis.

  • or playing

  • Not FZ singing.

  • Its Ardian Belew on guitar not Zappa

  • haha, great video, that labrador eating the pigeon had me in stiches, the song's a good copy by the way

  • It's Zappa on guitar and probably George Duke doing a good impression of Hendrix on vocals. In any case, bloody hell if you think this is Zappa singing you need your ears checked.

  • doesn't sound like Frank or Don Van Vliet. Cool though.

  • unmistakeably frank zappa. listen to the vocals. Not to mention the fact that frank was a jimi-level guitarplayer

  • you are an idiot.

  • Ain't FZ, but the vid is neat

  • isn't SRV?

  • not jimi ither

  • Good version, but it's not Frank

  • Huh?

  • does not sound like zappa on vocals or guitar

  • There are no triplets in the guitar part. Only the drummer plays them. The guitar should be more strident and straight

  • It's neither Zappa nor Jimi, but just a nice innocuous version of the tune by someone who took the time to learn it. Pretty good.

  • ........Sounds like Steve Vai.

  • Fraggle noggle bullshit.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • ffs if u know anything about zappa and beefheart ud know they covered hundreds of songs live with various artists

  • Nope.

  • your an idiot. it's clearly not jimi singing. you can also clearly notice a completely different feel of the guitar solo. jimi has a specific feel. this is not jimi. and just before i watched this video i watched videos of frank covering stairway to heaven and i am the walrus.

  • besides witch, thats an yamaha diversion 600 i think which puts it around the 90's at least

  • absolute fucking bitching classic. aint seen anything like it. did that pelican really eat up another bird? it seems to fit with zappa's style and ma ma ma mad sense of humor....

  • yea hes eating a pigeon ,check out the dog catching a shark on peter shelly.love my dog vid,if u like that kinda thing lol

  • @colinscholey  it's not Zappa u cunt

  • that's not zappa or anyone else affiliated with him, idiots...

  • Uh, that is Jimi on the vocals though?

  • jimi was long dead when this was recorded

  • really? wheres the recording taken from? i can't hear beefheart either....

  • thats hendrix not zappa listen to the vocals and solo

  • hendrix was long dead when this was recorded

  • Your ears are up your butt with the rest of your head.

  • This is kind of ironic and funny because its so not what the song is about, but pretty rotten too because it's a great song and that's not exactly great video. If that's you playing lead - nice job, lets see you play it. If it's someone else, it's not as cool as a bunch of other people have done it so I'll stop wasting time now

  • u dont think a pelican eating a pigeon is good video?

  • This is Stevie Ray Vaughn, I believe.

  • Actually, I typed that before the vocals. This is not SRV, SRV's cover is instrumental only.

    It isn't Zappa though.

  • yeah i actually thought it was srv for a moment there

  • Its Hendrix

  • def not hendrix i heard that track hundreds of times and can tell instantly its diif to the recorded version . diff intonation. diff licks,

  • Woaw! A song written by my favourite, played by my other favourite. Can it be better?

  • I'm not talking about the notes or tone of sound but of the feeling compaired to the Axis: Bold as Love record

  • Still the closest cover EVER of this song. Well understood.

  • This isn't Zappa or Beefheart or Hendrix

  • can you say jimi? i knew you could!!!!

  • haha the thing moving inside his mouth is great... aaaah they should make an official video out of this..

  • thats a pigeon the pelican is eating

  • WICKED PELICAN!

  • That's not Frank or his band - I've seen them countless times in their different incarnations. FZ doesn't play like that, and no it's not Ike or Ray or Napolean, etc.

  • It doesn't sound anything like Zappa's guitar, nor does it sound like Ike Willis' or Ray White's or Napoleon's singing.

    More like Living Colour or Jimi himself.

  • This IS Jimi Hendrix's little wing!

  • no way this is hendrix unless it was his ghost this was recorded in the 80s long after his death

  • or Jimi in a previous life er two ago (before he evolved if you bleev in reincarnation) using futuristic stuff. Aint Jimi (simply my opinion)

    ~cg5

  • uidiots...that not Hnedrix...not ray White...its Ike Willis singing...dumn mofo's...could that be Zappa...listen to the lead...listen........to...the lead......sheesh

  • sounds like living colour to me

  • A forget the double post..it just refused to show up!

    Don't get me wrong it's a good version of a great song but it's just not Zappa.

  • If this is Frank Zappa then I'm Captain Beefhearts great grandfather! This sounds nothing like Zappa. It's not his voice, it's not his guitar sound and it's not his playing style.

    Then, Zappa would never play a note for note cover but rather do something else. Listen to his take on "Purple Haze" on the album "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life" and you'll get the idea.

  • If this is Frank Zappa then I'm Captain Beefheart's great grandfather! This sounds nothing like Zappa! it's not his guitar sound and it's not his playing style either.

    Then, if Zappa played a cover it would not be a note for note rendition but rather something else. His version of Purple Haze is on The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, and it's a good example!

  • HaHa I'm listening and now I've just seen these comments and I thought the same shit, I know Zappa 25 years and this ain't got nothing to do with no Zappa Beefheart ANYTHING I ever heard of. Shit don't even sound like them.

  • My best bet is that this is a pretty good guitarist who has really worked on "little wing" till it became a natural for him, as thousands have along the years. He is a pretty good imitator of Hendrix's voice, but I strongly doubt that htis could be hendrix, the playing is not his, and the voice isn't either. Of course it is neither FZ nor Beefheart, but I think nobody is going to discuss that, it's pretty obvious !

  • Doesn't sound like Beefheart, but I'm not sure.

  • It's obviously Hendrix playing and singing. Sounds nothing like Zappa, or Beefheart. Quite dissapionting- I was looking forward to an interesting cover.

  • my guess - NOT Zappa.

    Possibly another guitarist in a Zappa ensemble while Frank has a smoke or something, but probably not even that.

  • People are stupid.

    Its not hendrix.

    Its perfect for this video of u have any imagination

    or artistic thinking skills.

    Seems like very few people on YT have artistic thinking skills.

    I LOVE that dog! I like birds too but that dog is awesome!

    and the gull (?) at the end carrying off the dead pigeon. Theres art in this here video. thank LargeDog. Wuff!Wuff!=)

  • thanks stacy

  • Sorry once again, but this is NOT Zappa nor is it Beefheart, and I'm not saying that just be cocky...Put the "Axis Bold as Love" version on and you'll notice this sounds like a demo of the finished version. It often happens on youtube that facts and figures of artists/songs get mixed up. Once again, no offence.

  • is het de waarheid? ik weet niet,

  • I agree. It sounds like an alternate version recorded by Hendrix. It most definitely is not Zappa nor is it Beefheart. And I'm saying this as a 30+ year fan of Hendrix, Zappa and Beefheart. Beefheart sounds like a cross between Howlin' Wolf and Tom Waits (with occasional falsetto), Zappa's guitar sound is more percussive than this recording

  • this song is so freaking brilliant. top 5 covered songs

  • I'm sorta confused, forgive me... I can tell that its not Hendrix playing, but it sounds a helluva lot like him? do you know when this was recorded?

  • i know it sounds like him but this was recored after he was dead so maybe its his ghost

  • haha.
