GregN Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 OK I have to ask this of the Zappa fans: Has anyone heard of a 70's band called Chopper? Supposedly, Zappa was a huge fan of these guys in the 70's, they were based out of Michigan, but I can't find any additional info on them. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 well, I got my copy of Imaginary Diseases today, and it is much better than what I was expecting (which wasn't much). An actual live disc compiled from a number of different concerts in 1972, with good sound (better than expected, again). It is playing as I type this, and there is a very nice bluesy vamp with lots of very good soloing by FZ, brass, and Tony Duran. And that's only the third song! I'm looking forward to the 16 min Farther O'Blivion! Oh, and even though the liner notes have the typical Gail mumbo-jumbo, there is a sensical, brief essay from Steve Vai. So, shockingly, it looks like the ZFT came through, finally! I was so disappointed by the Joe's Domage thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 If this isn't somewhere in the earlier posts, I am not a fan and had personal interactions with the man. He was a dick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Two classic Zappa Halloween shows that Pops was @. Moms was @ the second one. She really wasn't a Zappa fan, more of a Pops' fan. He ended up seeing something equally as horrific to him. This is The Zappa Halloween show. No video. Also his longest known performance. This one was broadcast in the early years of MTV....back when they still showed videos and stuff like this.

Hi Chuck. Not looking for dirt, or all the gory details -- but curious about how you crossed paths with FZ. Not too surprised he could/would have been a real pain, but he wouldn't be the first jerk of a musician whose musical output I've admired.

Big Wheel Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Chuck's story was in another thread: I am curious if there was some other encounter, or if Chuck's use of the plural "interactions" was just a little producer's license.
