Larsen B Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Is that the Ian Underwood who "whips it out"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Swords Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ruth Underwood was unbelievably good. One of the original Mothers groupies she was.The quote from Uncle Meat reminded me of travelling up to uni and playing that album a lot. I don't know many people that like it, even less at half seven in the morning in a traffic jam on the way to Glasgow.What's everyone's opinion on 200 Motels (film rather than album)?

Guest MKII Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 What's everyone's opinion on 200 Motels (film rather than album)?I watched it last night, I love the visual effects, the jokes and some of the music is shit hot, but it does seem to be rather thrown together. It's nice as an artifact of the time I guess. Anyone have the film Uncle Meat, I have the double CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MKII Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I've got it on video. It's not the easiest film in the world to watch. In fact it makes 200 Motels look like Citizen Kane. The album is a masterpiece though' date=' the original Mothers at their absolute peak.[/quote']Could I borrow it, or could you copy it for me? You woudn't want to deny a man some Zappa now would you?

Rach0610 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 That site is really good, loads of interesting stuff. I'm going to see Zappa plays Zappa (Franks sons playing his work) next year at the Royal Albert Hall, it'll be an amazing show i cant wait.Rach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that guy Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 not that i want to try an attempt to overshadow the genius of zappa, but have you seen local band Captain Face's cover of Magic Fingers? We...I mean they (ahem) do a pretty kickass rendition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Swords Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've never seen the Uncle Meat film. I'd agree it was the best of the old Mothers stuff, although I don't think it's nearly as good as what Zappa went on to do. My opinion of 200 Motels is that you'd hate it unless you were a Zappa fan. I don't think the film's brilliant, but I really enjoy it, especially "Centersville" and the "I'm smoking the towels" bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
