Day 73 - Frank Zappa - Stevie’s Spanking

Frank Zappa in his own words (in: The Real Frank Zappa Book):

In 1981, on one of Steve Vai’s early tours, we were playing at Notre Dame University, and Laurel fishman showed up. By some twist of fate, Steve wound up with Laurel in his motel room. They engaged in a variety of practices involving a hairbrush, and Steve drooling on his own dork while she jerked him off. (I got the whole catalogue of events the next morning during ‘Breakfast Report.’)

Day 72 - Frank Zappa - Return of the Son of Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar

Not long after listening to Steve Vai’s Flex-Able I discovered that Vai played in the band of Frank Zappa. So I bought a Frank Zappa record. I started with Guitar, an album full of guitar solo’s by Frank Zappa. And what a great guitarist he is! Return of the Son of Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar is a solo from 1979, before Steve Vai would join Frank Zappa. Zappa hired Vai to transcripe a lot of the solo’s on Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar, these transcriptions were published in 1982 in The Frank Zappa Guitar Book. Return of the Son of Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar isn’t part of these transcriptions.
