I'm playing some gigs with Ike Willis and have been showing my wife some of Zappa's work and stumbled upon this vid. You guys absolutely killed this tune! I'ma show uncle Ike tomorrow at the gig
I am a hysterical Zappa fan in that I am really REALLY into his music 24/7 as many other zappa fans are, and i simply LOVED this ! You made a great job out of this nearly sacred trilogy, and I especially appreciated the very "zappian" ending ! The whole 16+ minutes were energetic and passionately played. Also it's great to see younger generations picking up FZ's music. As I say with my nickname ever since he died : "ZAPPA LIVES on forever" also thanks to you ! Thanks a lot ! You deserve many more LIKES than you have. Only goes to show how desperate the music scene has become !
+zappalives thanks a million man! a huge compliment.
i 100% agree with you :) the boys are great in performing FZ
Signing under every word
@@StrangeChangesBand As a Zappa fanatic I had the same thoughts and feelings watching this. You guys are amazing. Covering Zappa is a crazy idea almost nobody in their right mind would attempt. You guys pick one of the most complicated arrangements and nail it while improvising or modifying stuff here and there just like Zappa would do at a live show. I love the whole thing. Keep doing it.
Totally agree zappalives. I often tell folks I am keeping Zappa alive with my quirky Zappaness . Thank you!
I have listened to Live at the Roxy maybe hundreds of times and that trilogy can bring tears of joy to me. Your arrangement, musicianship and passion that you brought to playing this has elicited the same effect on me. I have to echo, that that I am overjoyed(!!) that younger musicians are keeping Franks music, not just alive but vital. Thank You!
Good version of this - one of Zappa's best.
No big names, nobody you'd have heard of; just a bunch of music-school guys with love for Frank in their hearts and enough time to practice and get some very hard music pretty solid.
as a 75 year old Zappa fan, i enjoyed this very much....Frank left us much to soon.... Great band...excellent cover...Zappa Lives!!
Wow guys. Just found this. YALL NAILED IT!!!! I had this playing in the background and 5 minutes in I had completely forgotten it wasn't Zappa. 'Don't you ever Wash that Thing" is really hard. Kuddos.
Arf!
It's worthy of attention thinking that none of these guys was even born when this music was composed and published. That says a lot about the composer, the music, this performance, these arrangements and these musicians.
It's beyond a quick word what is needed to state what I'd like to state.
Brilliant.
Frank Zappa is not dead, he may even smell not funny either. Thanks people. LOVE IT.
Great F'in work,more enjoyable to me as a 59 year old who has been seeing and listen g to Frank for 46 years,than seeing ZPZ. Love the horn section. All good.
These guys are wonderful. ZPZ gets paid. At a higher level.
You guys are awesome. From a 63 yr old Zappa fanatic. LOVE it.
One of the best Zappa covers out there. Not easy shoes to fill so hats off to you fellas. Bravo!
Good job!!! 👍
Great! So good to see Zappa's music still alive and well and appreciated by a new generation.
seein' ya'll young 'uns playing Frank's music - and so well - restores some much needed faith in this universe - especially in mid-October 2020!
Every music course taught at uni/college should have a required final year course "The Compositions of Frank Zappa" - no pass - no paper LOL. This was tight guys !!
3 compositions down, 5000 to go
Awesome job!!!!
Bravo, I simply adore that music
Wow, I'm simply speechless. This will go on repeat...
Totally faithful to the Man. Love
It.
you .............. guys .................... ROCK !
great drums and horns guitar wow great job reimagining zappa's vision.
Frank would approve. This is outrageously good.
Huge FZ fan. That was absolutely brilliant. Please do more...
Thanks man! Our newest video/single definitely has some Roxbury vibes give it a spin!
(I’m VERY late to this!) Great googly moogly, I enjoyed that to perfection!!
Thanks from Ireland🇮🇪👍🇸🇩
Bravo boys!!!!!!!...well done...
Fantastic! Great work guys.
Hey guys, I think I've listened to Roxy and Elsewhere a thousand times (it's not an exaggeration), it's by far my favourite Zappa record, and one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. So I'm usually distrustful when someone covers or rearranges it, understandably worried they won't do it justice... BOY WAS I WRONG! You did a TREMENDOUS job, I'm speechless, my father (who introduced me to Frank) couldn't express how much he appreciated your work, he just kept nodding with approval!
Much love from Italy
Thank you for this great Zappa "suite." It was very "Frank!!"
Yeap, this is very much Frankish.
Plus the variations in first half.
The brass section is marvelous as as well as the unisono of brass/guitar/bass.
Frank, who originally played drums would be probably happy with this “low profile” drummer.
The bassist is good too and deserves to be more visible at least in super-wide angled (GoPro?) camera.
Incredible job men hats off to ya
Roxy & Elsewhere is one of my favourite all time albums... you guys nailed it!
Amazing work guys! Impressed
extraordinarily well done guys. im sure Frank would approve and like this band..!
Holy Mozes...... I always search for FZ music, and now after all these years I found this. I am a HUGE Zappa fan and have almost all of his records and albums. This is the best interpretation of his music I ever heard. Zappa plays Zappa is a shame. There is no love in it. No passion, no feeling. And this clip has it all. FZ smiles in where ever he is.
I think you might be selling ZPZ a little short. I saw them live and they had plenty of passion and feeling, as far as I could tell. We can agree that this group here definitely haa it, no doubt!
Appreciate the work you put into to recreate this fabulous music & keeping Zappa’s music alive!
good performance guys.
Franks artwork never dies.
And you playing this musik so as is it yours, great.
As a musician, I can tell you that took a TON of work. Also, I could tell some of you were gasping for air / energy mid-song. That's a marathon. Super musician power and endurance must be set on high. GREAT job!
it was a loooong day
This deserves a lot more attention. This is a very impressive rendition of music played by what I consider to be Zappa's best band.
Wow, that must have taken a lot of practice to get it so tight! Very nice!
Wow,well done guys: a really professional piece of work ;the 3songs perfectly performed to the notes and Master FZ would be more than happy to see his music played by a group of young musicians who could be his grandsons and who weren't even born when he died in 1993.Hats raised for an excellent work , there is a brilliant future for these chaps.
thanks brother! i think the youngest of us was around 5 when the great man left us, but the point remains.
@@StrangeChangesBand yes you're right and l hope this nice influence by such a genius music maker will encourage you to create your own work as great as his music , I'm certain the name "Strange Changes " will one day make it to the top, because you've got what it takes to make it,good luck guys.
Fantastisch! Superb!
Quel bonheur de voir la nouvelle génération s'en prendre au répertoire du grand Zappa avec autant de talent de précision et de plaisir.Bravo les d'jeunes!!
Oui, je suis d'accord. Fan tas tique !
Fabulous! Kudos to the arrangers as well as performers.
Really dig this and keep coming back to enjoy it!
Beautiful.....thank you.
This is an outstanding version of my all time favourite live music recording. Just excellent work.
thanks brother! got a new FZ-tinged original dropping soon, subscribe!
06:51 a complicated series of notes ,so difficult to play except for a professional band like our friends in this video,what mastership and dexterity in performing this masterpiece, thank you 😊 🙏 ❤
i often skip for bands trying to cover Zappa. but this time is a worth watching video. best compliments. great sound
"Wooow c'est Magnifique". Fantastique interprétation : du grand Frank
Makes me so glad seeing people my age preserving this music. I'm 20 am is estimation close? Rocks so hard.
Well, as big fan of FZ who i am, i say thanks a milion to keep alive this immense legacy! Love
Bravo !!! Fantastic excellent 🙌🙏
Holy crap - well done!
I'm 60 and this is one of my favorite Zappa pieces. Expertly executed guys. It's good to know that kids are working this hard, and have the chops and the passion to pull it off. I wanted to clap at the end. Kudos!
Thanks Richard! We have new Frank-inspired original live vids trickling out so subscribe and enjoy! Gonna drop a new one tomorrow.
..bravo...as a decades long poodle player...I approve...thee all shall be knighted...walk tall fockers..that is one heck of an accomplishment...
Well done guys!
Not even 2 minutes into this and I'm already so very impressed. Great job, everyone.
Zappas' music is the best....beautifully played guys
Huge Zappa fan here, I just found your video and I really enjoyed your tribute, very well done, excellent! Like someone said before: it's so encouraging to see young people playing Zappa so we know his music lives on.
wow wow wow, bravi, bravi, bravi!!!! da lassù zio Frank starà sorridendo!!
High energy.
Great job!!! We all love his music and so, thank you for learning it, practicing it and playing it for all of us out there searching for another gem of his brilliance.
One word....MAGNIFICENT!
BRAVOO!
young people loving zappa ,make's me cry
I've watched this countless times and it makes me smile like an idiot every time. SO good!! Please keep them coming!
Bravo😊
What a great job!
You keep it alive!!
Wow! Loved it!!
Incredible
Amazing!!!! thank you.
Excellent! Don't You Ever Wash That Thing is an amazing and difficult-to-playcomposition - You guys pulled it off! Mr. Toro - great bass work, great tone - reminds me of Fowler's work with Zappa.
Nice performance! And arrangement. Some of my personal favorite FZ pieces. Has a great feel and energy that other people playing FZ's music forget to apply.
Perfect.
Holy crap, I'm just finding this. Congratulations on not just the notes but the emotion. Excelsior!
This is just so.. Zappa. Excellent done guys.
Once again I am BLOWN AWAY by the musical talent that exists today!! Frank is smiling ear to ear!!!
I don’t normally curse - except when some guys fucking brilliantly cover this Frank Zappa masterpiece !
I have played with Frank and he hired me to do his sons 1st record, and he would've been so proud to hear his music being played by young players and doing a great job at it, which isn't an easy task to undertake! !!
Huge props Jared! Thanks so much man. You have a suspiciously familiar last name.....
I am jerry cuccurullo, drummer on my mother is a space cadet and flip side crunchy water, and Frank genourously gave me the only royalties he ever gave to a hired musician and yes strange Warren is my estranged eldest brother, he sort of lost his mind as ed Mann said to me what happened to your brothers mind? I said don't know but it has to do with 911 and his conspiracy theories he's bent on.....bent sadly is where he's at . love him dearly but he disowned his entire family. sad but true...sincerely jenairo a.k.a Jay or even Jerry lol, we must do a recording one day before I go to the studio in heaven. peace love all of your band!!!
Jerald Cuccurullo so you worked with Eddie van Halen on the record too ? I remember seeing an early MTV clip saying Eddie VH was producing the album .
Your brother is a monster, saw him with Duran Duran & I was the only 1 in the audience of pink shirt wearing dicks who even dug what Warren did with the guitar .
@@jeraldcuccurullo2497 would be honored to play sir!
I love how you guys squeezed a bit of " Aproximate " into your trilogy lol ,the Aproximate noodling was my favorite part ,I'm wondering why nobody else caught it .
Good shit guys .
Big kudos, gents.
Amazing
An ambitious undertaking...and very well pulled off! :)
very well done! zappa music is tough to duplicate and you guys have done it to perfection, congrats, keep it up
Incredible!
IMPRESSIVE
Felicitaciones por los arreglos y seriedad en la ejecucion de esas dificiles composiciones de Zappa. Sorpresiva y divertida direccion a dos puertas. Desde 1969 soy un fanatico de Zappa. Un gran abrazo y gracias por mantener la musica de este genio VIVA.
Absolutely stunning tribute to Uncle Frank! 👍👍👍👍👍 Hats & socks off, you guys. Was that a liitle teardrop that just rolled off my late great Uncle Frank's eye?
Fantastic!
You guys are GREAT
I am absolutely thrilled that you did both versions of village of the sun
I can never get enough of people bringing so much passion and enthusiasm for Zappa's music. That was a sheer delight to watch you all perform that - thank you! I love the way so much energy was given to the brass, for me it's what makes Arf/Wash have such an impact. God that was excellent. Bravo!
Very very very great work!!!!!!! Congrats from Italy!!!
Génial !
Fantástico
Ben fatto! Uno dei pezzi più incasinati dello zio, bravi ragazzi.
You guys are amazing
great job .
Thank you so much for this magnificient version of the Roxy suite ! You have the spirit and the maestria.
WOW! This is perfect!
