FRANK ZAPPA EN PASSANT

During a conversation with UG's Justin Beckner, Steve Vai looked back on his 1980-1983 tenure in Frank Zappa's band, which he joined after working ...
... Humble Pie, Judas Priest, Mark Knopfler, Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones, Skid Row, Toto, UFO, The Who, Warren Zevon and Frank Zappa.
... Furnier, would also be known as Alice Cooper) going to Frank Zappa's house at 7 AM to audition, when Zappa meant for them to come a 7 PM.
The conversation, which kicks off in the recording studio of Chromatica , the same as Frank Zappa, adds Gaga starts from music and slowly moves on ...
Frank Zappa lived next door to me, David Crosby lived right behind me and (Love co-founder) Arthur Lee had a house nearby,” Echols, 73, recalled.

NOTICE
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have also noticed that the Gonzo Multimedia websites have changed and are in a process of flux, so there are no individual sales links at the moment. But check out www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk for a thing of wonder.
There is a hunky-dory, all singing, all dancing, Gonzo Publications website is now pretty well done, although there are still nine authors who need personal pages. You can find it at www.gonzopublishers.com and then tell me what a clever fellow I am. It even has a haiku to explain why some links are not finished:
"These links do not work, now but they will do so soon, we apologise"

Enjoy.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
