Good Christ. Talk about Franksploitation. ZFT should be embarrassed over this and should really think about the use of Zappa's "unused" music, as well as licks from masterpieces like Black Napkins. Gene Simmons? Really? Frank made great sport of "rock stars" like Simmons. Now, his work is being exploited for a few bucks, by people he would likely mock if he were still around? It would be one thing is someone did a tribute to Frank. This ain't it. It's dumbed-down swill for amoebae.
Gene Simmons- sitting on a goldmine, lusting for a tin can. Get it together Genie baby- you still got the rock n' rolls so use 'em! We all luv ya really.
Cool, there's live recordings of Zappa's early 70s band (Uncle Meat erawith Jimmy Carl Black/Art Tripp on drums) and late 70's band (Zoot Allures era with Terry Bozzio on drums) in this song. Very interesting. And it's about freedom of speech! Nice package!
What's up with Gene's vox on this album? He just speaks in a half-assed way instead of actually singing. It sounds like he's reading the words having never seen them before. Really weird.
awesome. Gene was chummy with Frank, they didn't hang out all the time or anything but were friendly. I recall reading Gene talk about this somewhere... love the quote at the end, take note of the weirdos!
GOD DAMMIT GENE DO YOU FOLLOW ME AND LIKE WRITE LYRICS BASED ON MY LIFE MAN BECAUE FRANKLY ALL OF YOUR SONGS LIKE SPEAK TO ME VERY GOOD GENE AND FRANK THIS SONGS SPEAKS TO ME!!!
It is nice to see a guy like Gene giving my hero, Frank Zappa, some of the respect that he deserves from the music community. Frank worked his ass off on his own dime to protect the free speech rights of rockers in the mid eighties, and the music community owes a debt of gratitude to Frank for that alone. They owe a bigger debt to the massive contributions to music Frank has given us in his short life. I am always thankful Frank was so prolific in both his music and what he had to say.
@jimiscnc I think coming from GENE, it is a really big deal if he's laying respect like that....because it's for once not about Gene. I dunno if you've noticed but Gene Simmons now fights the same freedom of speech Frank fought for-keeping the torch lit!
One of the single most under rated rock music adventures ever produced.Gene being Gene sorta ruined it for this disk.Simple music mastory.I will never understand how this album of distorn laiden gems died along the way...Gene keep em' coming!

@MrTedeebear No, this album is just terrible man. This is the only reasonably listenable song on it.
