What?? Andy Summers?? Do you think Gary even knows about Andy's album Earth + Sky? It's hardly pop.
Perhaps it would help to read it in context.
Perhaps not...
If the White Castles and the 40 oz Old English 800 were just a too bit harsh
let me just state you have no fucking clue what it takes to put ZPZ on the road.
The TOOL SETS and MUSICIANSHIP in ZPZ is something
The Rolling Stones and The Police would not deliver in their wildest dreams.
While The Rolling Stones have had these massive stage configurations that make for
large stage shows the equipment the musicians perform with
and the talent of the musicians is basically pedestrian rock & roll.
Even when Andy Summers recorded with Robert Fripp Andy's solos
and guitar sound was so pedestrian.
Robert Fripp & Andy Summers - I Advance Maskedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTTHQgmpQIIThe New Barbarians where Ron Wood added
Keith Richards and Stanley Clarke
was no different ...Pedestrian.
New Barbarianshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9e_GTxqgPYDZs guitar rig and skill sets as a compositional guitarist cast a dark cloud on anything
Ron Wood or Andy Summers have ever come up with in their long careers.
These guys are basically pedestrian pop guitarists.
It does not make them bad but DZs guitar compositional skills and guitar RIG are just from another galaxy.
You can take the same basic principle and expand that where the
ZPZ band is an orchestra and those other bands are pop R&B/R&Reggae groups.
Zappa Plays Zappa is performing the compositions of a composer
but they perform it with the due diligence of any Zappa band.
They are not a cover band.
They are a modern rock orchestra no different than any of Zappa's touring lineups.
It's not the size of the venue,
it's due diligence to the composers intent.
Cover Band my ass.
Another goodie from 2008...
Truthfully I don't give a shit what the fuck the negative forum people think about my posts.
I believe what I believe,
I voice what is my voice and
Fanaskeptasaureous can sit in their own vomit.
In general while Forum Commentary can be thought provoking
on any given issue it is not the art.
Fanaskeptasaureous behavior is a child game more in line with
let's go to war defending This Little Piggie In The Ball Park Mediocrity.
It's not who delivers the message..............
If your message is Fanaskeptasaureous shit that is what you is.
I try my best to support the ZFT 100%
Anybody else having a strong opposition to my stance can go fuck themselves.
