But if you listen to what's going on, in the first link Zappa's band is not playing what Vinnie explains in the second. In other words, for whatever reason Zappa has rearranged Keep It Greasy so that it's entirely in 4/4, as you can easily check if you listen to the first link. The complex and Mahavishnuish 19/16 and 21/16 times have all been dropped. The live version definitely works, but it just isn't what Vinnie explains.

Gorth Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Youtube sometimes comes up with the weirdest suggestions... but I actually liked this one (even if completely unrelated to what I was searching for) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

LadyCrimson Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Don't ask me why but I love this kid and his "first time hearing/reaction" videos. Feels joyful or reminds me of me listening to such tunes way back when The more recent ones include his brother as well. I spent a whole afternoon going through a lot of them, getting to listen to some old fave songs and grin at the reactions/head bopping/comments. (actual music usually starts around 40 seconds to one minute in) “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts

She's covered songs entirely in the Star Trek language, including Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield" and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance." But with Frozen 2 in the news, her winter-planet track has exploded in popularity. The song, translated, is called "ylbuSQo."

Gorth Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I know the guy is long dead and half an hour of drum solos is not everyones jar of vegemite, but the guy was an impressive drummer, not letting age getting in the way of his skill.... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Just one of those oddities I run across sometimes. At first I didn't like it, but then I went back and listened a couple more times. Not sure exactly what it would classify as (it sort of changes pace and character 4 minutes in). Made in Japan? 2 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Bartimaeus Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 @Gorth The fusion of traditional instruments and metal was certainly interesting. Not too big on the vocals, but still a decent listen. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
