this isn't Wikipedia to comment facts. Comment on the music & the band. this was fun get your butt up & move music. Meant to make everybody happy. Leave factoids and neg comments elsewhere there a lot of people new to this and just wanna enjoy!
Lot of negative feedback on here when I think we should just enjoy what is now and hold on to the memories that were left behind. Let's hope in the future that the members of Zapp wouldn"t mind collaborating with Hidden Beach and do a True Tribute to Roger with Bart "Sure 2 B" Thomas and Terry "Zapp" Troutman on Talkbox and maybe bring in Rufus Troutman III. However he's doing the Gospel Thing and doing well. Just need more exposure. Mans Tradition is the hold up
@hotnsaxy2010 I soooo agree that the negative comments are just too much...we know its not the same without Roger, but guess what??....THEY (The Troutmans) KNOW IT MOST OF ALL!!! To us He's an funk legend and icon...TO THEM THAT'S THEIR FAMILY, THEIR BLOOD....The group is moving 4ward all the best that they know how with much prayer as well as encouragement from the many supporters of their music thru the years.....lets keep these things all the more in mind folk......real talk.
That dude Big Rob is disrespectful fat ass punk,we were going to have him on our internet radio show.We ask his fat ass to send us a copy of his songs and his fat ass bitch like he was on his period,we only offer this punk a chance to come on because of somebody from P Funk told us about his ass.
Not to clown or snitch anyone off but Hey Terry Troutman didn't even use the pitch bender or the modulation wheel hmmm seems fishy to me ! I know most of the songs have a pre recorded Roger Troutman vocals I just don't think its right to try and fake fans out or take his brother out the spot light !!
@rollmeoh Terry actually does sing the songs live. I know,I traveled with and sang back up for my uncles for a few years.Of course there are some pre-recorded vocals,but name an artist who doesn't use them.I can tell you the verses are all Terry though - not moving his brother out of the spot light, but doing his big bro proud and doing what their mama told them to keep doing when it seemed impossible to carry on...this is what Uncle Rog would have wanted.By the way, I'm the chick in the video.
I know Roger would never approve of a mobile talkbox...shit looks like an upside down bucket with wheels...come on Terry, you can do much better than that...looks hideous...
Larry shot Roger 5 times in the head in an alley behind their studio and then he left and shot himself in the head while driving and his car struck a tree. They were buried in a double grave with the headstone reading "TROUTMAN BROTHERS" Larry and Roger
@madnpalmdale ..not trying 2 b disrespectful or anything, but Larry DID NOT shoot his brother Roger in the head 5 times..he shot him in the torso 2 times b4 Roger could get out of the car to flee, and then he shot him 2 more times in the body for a total of 4 shots. Larry used a 357 to kill his brother and then himself...but it did happen behind the Troutman Recording Studios.
Could the guitar player have the guitar any lower? Dam its at his ankles... looks great but its hard to play with your wrist twisted all up.. to funny
Terry Zapp Troutman uses a Microkorg for his performances now...he used to use a dx100 like Roger...but they stopped making dx100s in the 80s so its easier to keep the microkorg working for live performances...
@tibiafinger I know what axe means, I am a musician. I was referring to "ax" being used instead of "ask". Here is the quote:
stankology If ever somebody ax me how to smell funk I tell 'em strait out: Z-A-P-P! If dey ax me "how dat possible?" I tell 'em: Roger Troutman, 'nuff said!
