Kakva muzika, ovo je potpuno genijalno. Captain, you are my revelation.

[progressiveturtle]

Willie the pimp :D thank you zappa for introducing me :D

[HannahVampire]

Somehow by the sound of the music, I feel like Led Zeppelin could have done this...

[HannahVampire]

@HannahVampire When The Leeve Breaks...thats what this reminds me of...

[edpoe92]

wow this is awesome.. just noticed captain beefheart and the doors sound pretty similar. at least this song

[thasuperdutchman]

wow...

[17865329]

Yeah, but there's a bit of Blues structure to this early stuff, and you can understand

the lyrics, it's also a bit more melodical with a bit of a backbeat. He got weirder

and weirder, with more obtuse lyrics, and pretty disjointed rhythm and musical

style.

[Ledzep69Man]

factiry aint no place fo meh bossman let me be!

[skinnydoggyz]

Primus (& Tom Waits & Captain Beefheart) Sucks!

[FredFerdberger]

I found my way here after learning the Black keys covered "I'm Glad" So I came in with an open mind to listen to some Bee Fart songs. I am sorry to say that I just can't get into it. The music is really good, but I can't get past his voice. I guess copious amounts of LSD would help.

[123frizzlefry]

@FredFerdberger

yeah, that'll help. but I think you should just listen to it some more. I needed to get used to his voice too when I discovered beefheart. and after a while I thought he has one of the greatest voices of all time, along with Tom Waits.

[3rdcoastnyucka]

Copious amounts of intelligence would serve you better.

[FredFerdberger]

@3rdcoastnyucka Ha Ha Ha Ha Very droll.

Merely expressing my opinion. Not being rude. You are the one taking it personally like I just stabbed your grandfather.

[asins]

Quality! :D

[Thesexyjim]

I just recently discovered this guy, my friend told me 'bout cap. beefheart. any songs i HAVE to hear/ favorite song?

[123frizzlefry]

@Thesexyjim

the whole Safe As Milk album is worth checking out, every singel songs of it. other favorite albums of mine: Mirror Man, Trout Mask Replica(bit hard to listen at first but it's great) and Bluejeans & Moonbeams. I don't have really favorite songs, just wole albums:P

[thenowuk]

electricity is my fave

[joshula13]

Captain Beefheart and Alan Wilson of Canned Heat were THE blues in the 60's,no one could even come close

[thisiskelcy]

I see the obvious harmonica similarity, but I don't feel like Midnight Rambler is in any way a rip off.

[SpuddCroily02]

beefheart music kicks zimmerman's ass.

[kball69]

wow, been a very long time to hear this, thanx for posting ^^

[jodeciareamazing]

Hi I'm new to beefheart really, so I was wondering who is don? as mentioned by dylanfan and sparkyization? Cheers.

[123frizzlefry]

Don Van Vliet is beefheart's real name. (check wikipedia)

[lordevilvenom]

Actually he was born Don "Glen" Vliet and then changed it later on.

[BlackKaweah]

The Captain is a master of the blues.

[fromthenorthwest]

almost sounds like eric burdon! this is cool i've never heard these guys!

[dylanfan1969]

Don is better than any blues band from the 60s. Along with Alan Wilson from Canned Heat i don't know anyone who touched the blues like they did.

[mojochessclassics]

i hear that

[calum66]

There you are children ! That's how it's done!

[sparkyization]

Yo Don! Remember AV Exposition Hall?

THAT was inspirational! (thumbs up smiley-icon inserted here)

[pseudoaristoteles]

Fucking Great!

[f00d]

this song is incredible

[Bram25]

I like the harp in the song, done with a Sinei, just like songs as Mirrorman from the Mirror Man sessions! :D

[rotagen5]

What's a sinei? a type of mic?. I want to know how he got that classic tone.

[SmaugsCave]

To paraphrase a line from children's Cartoon record Captain Beaky:

the finest Animals in the Land..

were Captain Beefheart

and his Band

[zolwikPawel]

yes! great song, from great album! thanks. greetings from Poland.
