SR VIII: Vander Got Run Over By A Reindeer!

“When I eventually got sobered up, which was three years later, I listened to Heaven and Hell, and, to this day, I cannot remember doing some of the songs. I can’t remember what studio it was. I can’t remember playing it at all. I have no memory.”
—Bill Ward Hahahaha!

You laugh.  I know what he means.

Believe it or not, I am reading your review of my first album.

I am sitting here with my keyboards on, a strange riff already recorded, and wondering what I can do with it.

Hopefully I can find some criticisms to push me along!

Joel, you be likin' Hot Rats?

Very much so. Only listened to it 2 times, but very very good stuff. First album from Zappa, but definitely won't be the last.
Going into it, I didn't realise it would all be instrumental, but its still good. Only thing I don't understand is why everyone thinks Peaches En Regalia is amazing, I think it's the weakest track.

@Rob: is the stuff you're recording for Refulgence?



Also, Henry, work your magic and make a hilarious new year's related title for the SR!

It's a good song, but not my favorite from that album. I need more Zappa.

What did you think of The Gumbo Variations?

I seem to like musicians who once worked with Zappa more than Zappa himself.

Just think how great of shape you could be in if you jazzercise to the whole boxset.

Like Steve Vai amirite?

I'd have biceps that would put everyone who posts in here to shame.
