[lucaszappa]

genious!!!

[CribNotes]

Let's hear the Black Page!

[davethecaveman]

arf arf!

[dpl4163]

This is both the most silly, and most brilliant thing I have seen in a LONG time...

Watched it a dozen times and still LMAO!!

let's see/hear Black Napkins!!

[flexyco]

LOL! One of my favorite tracks ever, transformed into something even more fun!

[wakingup2010]

yeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[wishkah256]

Frank would've loved this!

[ThreeLeggedMongoose]

frank would have been so proud

[friendofanubis]

GREAT!

[shakuhachi]

ok, this is totally insane and brilliant! Incredible. much thanks

[homicidelab]

dude...you fuckin' rock! this is just too awesome for words...epic win!

[plasticjesus108]

Awesome as ALWAYS everytime I see it! ********* Oops, stars seem to be outlawed these days.

[AlannahBabalon156]

LOL, fucking brilliant! Zappa would definitely have high-fived you for this!

Id love to hear you do In-A-Gadda-Vida by Iron Butterfly using this, ahem, unusual technique of music making. :-)

[theJugganawt]

This is the kind of shit frank would just LOVE haha!

[jjasonh]

I just laughed so hard into a pillow so I wouldn't wake my roommates.

YOU ARE MY NEW GOD

[jamieh1974]

2:09 hahahahahahahahaha

[nickca420]

The expression on his face is just the clincher. It's like, he knows he's got it, and he ain't afraid to flaunt it, he's the hand-fart-sound master and he knows it.

[nickca420]

You are my hero. This video is pure joy.

[arturoriosp]

Awesome!

[DrLocust]

This is one of the hardest songs to play on any instrument, let alone, your hands. Nice job!

[musicmanlover]

maaaan thats awesome i can make this sound but never thought that i could play songs in this way!!!i can only make jokes in the classroom :P but thats something more creative hehe keep on playing and i wish you to teach at berklee college of music!!!!

[Crisaxx72]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!! How the fuck does he do bends??That's fucking amazing!!LOL

[sneakonproductionz]

the whammy... like it says in the descriptuion

[whammybarfreak]

frank would have loved this, great cover, im learning it on guitar right now, very technical

[trevorb6]

Frank would've loved this! I'd bet he would've even invited you to play live on stage at some point. I think he'd also like your sofa and insist that you bring it along to the show. Fantastic!

[TrilobiteFilms]

i crapped

[coldandhomeless]

dude this is total comedy!! not only is it incredible, but also the fact that i have never seen this done. annd i love the song. reminds me of yoshi's sound on mario paint on super nintendo!

[flowerdoodle]

Theres no doubt Zappa would have found great delight and profound humor and beauty in this!!! I love this guy!! Amazing talent. Please answer Gytarmaniacs question, though. Wondering the same thing.

[gytarmaniac]

incredible! I too agree that Zappa would have had you in his troupe, for sure. I was wondering tho;

were you regulating the pitch with the whammy, or were you making the pitches with you hands and just using the whammy to achieve higher/lower octaves?

Again, good show. you should post more vids if you go them!

[gunecologist]

i am making the pitches with my hands and just using the whammy to achieve higher/lower octaves.

[muffirub]

My hat's off, sir!

[BaphometsWarrior]

Zappa worthy, definitely.

He would have wanted you to play with him, I think.

[tubadylan]

I second that.

[Rottenriguez]

Okay, I will say this...Frank would of loved it.

[Killerproff]

Sto morendo! UHAUAHUHAUHAUAHUA XD

[fdavilap]

Gracias!!! Zappa lo esperaba....

[ActionDaveFightsYou]

You're kidding! That is the most insanely awesome thing I've seen in months.

[pk923482]

LMAO!!!!!!!!! THIS IS INSANE!

[zanzatube]

Astonishing!!!

[bassbob42]

my harmonica player used to to 76 trombones, but this is great!

[LightningStrat]

Very apropos xD

[Circuit7Active]

Just Wonderful!!!

[WasyMusicPower]

WOW !!

[mracousticman]

glad to see this guy doesn't just cheesey 80's songs

[Dustinmfd]

lol awesome, id buy the album

[VulturesAwait]

lol. I think you could have made it onstage with that...very nice!

[saronix]

Frank Zappa would be proud and have gotten a kick out of this. No doubt in my mind.

[tough0crowd0eh9]

Dude Zappa would've no doubt recruited this guy for the Mothers.

[rohanroll]

oh yes, that´s just his kind of stuff. And I will say more: If he´d ever learned to play with his own hands, he´d never used any guitars at all!!

[pilmusic]

Yea, He would have definitively given a spare kidney to this guy that's for sure!

[ToxicFungi]

it almost sounds as if a choir or a person in general is singing it with a "wah" kind of voice. Anyone that can play Peaches en Regalia on the hands deserves major props even if some parts are probably nearlyy impossible to play, like the trills (musical lingo here)

[MorbosDevilGrinder]

i can't believe its for real... oh men! i'm cryng XD

unbelievable!

[cosmikdebris1984]

zappa would surely be amused by this.

[BansQBansQ]

I agree, if Zappa would see this I'm sure he'd give great congrats

[ilclark]

hey this guy rocks! I love zappa's music, and this is the most original cover I've ever heard

[CalmG]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i love this song nice cover

[LucaBrasisBrother]

I do like fart-sounding Zappa... I must be sick.

[WrBinITA]

great

[coolguyrr8134]

ALL HAIL!!!!! Your new KING!

[murf69]

haha thats sick!

[stratomaster62]

INCREDIBLE

[natdaman31]

this guy = legend for what he does!

[C0ma]

OMFG!!!

[rceretta]

I never get tired of what the human beings are capable to do. LOL

[avantrockman]

outfuckingstanding

[SeanButt]

MAD props dude

gaht-damb dat's funny

[BlueTolerated]

haha the zappa fans are more open minded to this man

[nikuion]

That's incredible.

[Shaktidej]

lool years of farting practise :)

[Jawshh2]

peaches en regalia*

[brainwipeguitarvox]

that's so funny, i'm playing it on guitar for my music gcse

[deadforever]

Watch your intonation and quintuplets dude! Just kidding. Great job man.

[jesusshootingheroin]

The Dweez should hire this dude for his Bonnaroo performance.

[Goethefemme]

Now, is there someone out there who can really fart this?

[flosspoint]

Now THAT's talent, folks! Give it up for Frank Zappa and "Hand Man"!!!

[CerebrateHyatt]

Ol' Frank would be proud.

[VonStyne]

this is great,funny too.cant help lol'ing @ 1:05 you're right sharps, Frank would dig this.

[yesfan951]

sweet!

[bootme21]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! great job. .

[jazztrumpet87]

yeah i totally agree... Frank Zappa would have totally loved this

[nola95]

If you can do G-Spot Tornado then you are a god.

[infestedfrank]

meh, Peaches n' Regalia is a bit too lounge style for me. Do Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace! That'd be cool!

[bobseador]

you are a maistro!

[777cc777]

Whoooooo!!! You are a whammy pedal Master!It's very difficult to get this level of accuracy with pitch... Surely now all other musical instruments must skulk off to an obscure holiday resort where they can offer their services cheaply to itinerant buskers. By the way, yes ~ I think Frank would have had you on stage for sure... but possibly facing the other direction from the audience, and slightly bent over too perhaps ;) hehe Just kidding Sir ~ this is really great! Once again: Whoooooooooo!!!

[chadworthman]

Something tells me Zappa would have loved this, a man making fart sounds with his hands to "Peaches" and sharing it on youtube for the world to see...

It's actually quite good and is one of my favourite Zappa tunes too.

[fistard]

One of the coolest things i have ever watched, i would like to se what kind of level of baryton sounds this guy can produce with his two hands in his both armpits. And he would be able to play it in Stereo. :D

[mdc333]

I think Zappa is sorry he didn't think of this

[hanshorseback]

This guy rules.

[fusionsmarty]

this is so cheap! HAHAHAHA!!

can´t stop laughin´ watchin this guy!

very zappaesque! keep on rocking, Franky is laughin his ass off in heaven!

[NitramZiarreh]

Oh shit!!! If Zappa had seen you doing this he would surely had hired you!

[fermillo65]

jajajajajaj!!! yeah!!!

I love the face of this guy while playing, he puts all his effort on it, and he does very well! :D

Holy shit, he's amaizing

[ghellogm]

how do you do it??

[hunternickols]

nice u r like the ony manualist on youtube!!!

[48kbrain]

you are my hero gerry (jerry)

[WeirdFields]

haha genius!

[flammaster]

h yes Frank would have that guy onstage and so should Dweezil!

[texacaster]

frank would have had this guy play a concert with him

[danielharris627]

You must show Dweezil!

[grounded1]

Zappa I think would of loved it!!!

[48kbrain]

have

[TheDish101]

OMG!OMG!OMG! Frank Zappa cover!!! Dude, that's so awesome, I just found out about you and this is by far my favorite video I've seen.

[paulbellemare]

Awesome!!!!!!Amazing!!!!Incred­ible!!!!....Exactly the kind of trick that Frank would have loved!!!...I would love to hear Dog Breath Variation by Gunecologist!...

[bjarnifreyr]

zappa is the best... ..:D:D:D and if he had seen this he would have liked it

[andreandreeee]

omg, this is divine.

[Wolfe3001]

An amazing talent, I agree that FZ would love it.

[theledzeppguy]

Oh, no doubt! Frank would have loved to have had you in the band.

You should try G-Spot Tornado next.

or Ruth Is Sleeping.

[slacknhash]

G-Spot Tornado?!? Do you want to kill the man?

[magicgotaidz]

Great choice for a song. Zappa is my hero. If Frank were still around, I bet he'd use you in one of his songs!

[zummazummabaccala]

I fuckin' love it. You're my new god.

[eddiesniper]

This man in insane.. not Zappa..the Greek fellow... well yeh Zappa was insane too but!!! Ahhh forget it.

[danielharris627]

Oh my god, that is amazing!! I love frank zappa!!

[davuldelici]

You are so great! Thank you for sharing this. You should do some Jazz Standards or some Miles Stuff.

[thomashoffman]

ok, now do the black page!

[thomashoffman]

excellent. spifnicent. bravo. all rise for the flag salute.

[Marcusvdgg71]

that is awesome dude...very cool...

[ghellogm]

Ahahahah! Great, how do you do this? :D

[nasratfatty]

haha, this is brilliant!

[heynowhoot]

i love peaches en regalia and somehow im sure that frank would approve..

good job

[xxbassdemonxx]

i bet if frank would have heard this, he would have got a spot playing with him. far out man

[RedPaladin]

Exactly what I was gonna say!! FZ would definately hire this guy!! Genius!!

[analyzingfunny]

I really do think Zappa would hire him. Really, he was that kinds of guy. He used all kinds of unique instuments, like a bicycle.

[shelleyraymond]

this might be my favorite you've done! it actually made me giggle.

[NellyNinja]

My rooster ruffled its feathers and crowed.

[48kbrain]

peaches en regalia is the best song ever written

and this version is utterly magnificent

keep on hand farting dude

[luchosoto]

Amazing!!...master, please, Burn by Deep Purple!!!

[xxbassdemonxx]

hell yeah!

[madcitygork]

HA HA HA- I've been a Zappa fan since '68...Peaches is one of my favorite songs too. It even got used as background music for a TV ad for a Holiday Inn in Steven's Point, WI back in the late 70's.

How 'bout "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" or some stuff from WOIIFTM?

Major Thanks!

MCG

[smebrash]

You're great!!!

This is pure genius!

[SkopTeocratico]

HAhahhhhhaha brilliant!!

you're a hero!

[goddessdelirious]

That was the most extraordinarily beautiful and inspiring piece of music I've heard since FZ's passing. I'm sure he'd be honored by such a unique and dexterous rendition of his composition.

[savwar]

ditto!

Frank would be proud.

This is the best youtube vid i've ever seen.

seriously..

[Sausahga]

Am I the ONLY one not only wondering if what he's *seeing* is what he's *hearing*? The audio production is *too* good and the intervals hit are too exact. WTF?

[acoronab]

Watch him do other covers here on YouTube and you'll understand that he HAS the ear of a musician, and a good one, no doubt

[sonofpissjuice]

damn, cool

[toveraap]

Hurray!!!

Totally insane Gerry:)

This is so "Zappa"in a strange way.

Remember there was a guy in his band that was called the human trombone?

That guy should have been you.

[chickyraptor]

Discussion of this video at the official Zappa site in the forums under Randomonium, topic: "Peaches like you've never heard it before". :-)

[rike1]

Id like to know what Zappa thinks of this himself...

He'd probably love it.

[bugpowderdust]

now you're doing Zappa??! holy shite, this is just 100% insane :O

what i mean is: congratulations! :D

[PDXguitarlegend]

Woo! I am breathless after that one. Frank would be so proud! hahaha

[rayoll]

greatness on youtube!

[ozdank]

you are really loving this whammy...is it automatic or manual? the pedal with some hendriz would be badass, and i know you could totally dominate voodoo chile!

[MrGreenGenes]

DUDE YOU FUCKING ROCK!

Thanks for doing Zappa! Keep up the good work!

You should do some more Zappa!... He must be one of the hardest to play on the Hand.hahaha

[sugaree53]

you are fantastic!!

[CozmoFajita]

Cool

[IdiotsPro]

awesome

[llwydcoed]

Blew me away there!!! Speechless!!!

[aiwcots]

Holy shit a zappa song....i didn't think you could be more bad ass.

[s00zelovessh0es]

[MrMonkMonk]

Kickass.
