LATEST UPDATE 10/31 – The 8 days of Halloween – Day 8 – Frank Zappa 3-pack Spooktacular!
GUITAR/BASS: nsw1-6
Cheepnis is is a tribute to B-movies. The song sings about the special effects in early horror movies, including a monster, named “Frunobulax”, a very large poodle dog. One of Zappa’s most exhilarating songs from the 1973-1974 period, “Cheepnis” coupled fast-paced rock with tons of quirky ornaments, complex arrangements, and genuine madness. The original version, released on the 1974 live LP Roxy & Elsewhere, has very little live material on it after the spoken introduction: heavily overdubbed, it also features a bridge section with sped-up voices that was never performed on stage!GUITAR/BASS: nsw1-6
This critique of the television as the tool of power to render the masses numb has not aged one iota since it was written. Frank Zappa’s low whispery voice frightens and hypnotizes at the same time. No wonder it remained a popular song in his repertoire, enough to be included on the compilation album Strictly Commercial.GUITAR/BASS: nsw1-6
“Zomby Woof” is the story of a man who went to sleep and woke up transformed into a “zomby woof,” a play on words making him some kind of a zombie/werewolf/dog creature. The transformation was illustrated in the original studio version by the shift in lead vocals from Zappa’s calm basso voice to Ricky Lancelotti’s “mad lion” roars and Tasmanian Devil-esque energy. The basis frame of a straightforward rock song in 4/4 is periodically stretched to accommodate a 7/8 riff and, what is the tune’s most identifiable feature, a four-bar break played in 5/4 (five against four). These elements hint at the complexity of the material Zappa would soon write for the albums Roxy & Elsewhere and One Size Fits All.ADDED preview videos for Slayer “Live Undead”, Megadeth “Ashes in Your Mouth”, Mastodon “The Czar”, and all 3 Frank Zappa tunes courtesy of Sideshow
Yeeees!
Every new Chicago and especially Cetera song is a good song. The question is what to do with the Cetera withdrawal symptoms after this album release…
Good thing there are loads of awesome tracks to revisit!

So you’re asking what will we do without the meaning in our lives? Who will be the inspiration?
So you’re asking what will we do without the meaning in our lives? Who will be the inspiration?
You get my point exactly! The best way to be inspired and find meaning in life is to play Cetera songs in Rock band…
This is by far my biggest seller but just so no one is unaware I already released this last christmas:

While most Chicago purists scoff at Chicago 17, the album was certainly the band’s most blatant attempt to hit pop mainstream. Peter Cetera really took charge on this album, and sings lead on this up-tempo song, which was the fourth single released from the video. Cetera also contributes a fun, funky little bassline into this song, and drummers will get a hi-hat workout. The other instrumentation is pretty straightforward…keys players have to wait until 1:15 to get involved, but they get to listen to more glorious Cetera vocals. p.s. I command you to watch the incredible music video. Yes, this really happened. MTV was awesome back in the day.GUITAR: StackOverflow0x
5 LANE KEYS: Bansheeflyer
This song opens with a pretty piano intro, and features another lovely Cetera lead vocal. The full band doesn’t kick in until after the first verse, but it’s a good full band experience overall. Drums are minimal, but fun. Your vocalist gets a chance to shine here.P.S.AJFOne: This is my favorite song from the 80’s era.GUITAR: StackOverflow0x

This song is one of the better known “rock ballads” of the 80’s. Here, Cetera trades off vocals with Bill Champlin, and the result is one of the better examples of dude/dude love song duets in music history. The song starts with a keys intro solo, and is a nice slow, easy entry for G/B/D. The song is really about the keys and harmony vocals of Champlin/Cetera. Special credit to James Pankow for the very cool horn break that appears about 3 minutes in, too.GUITAR: StackOverflow0x

This is the first single from Chicago 17, and was one of Chicago’s biggest hits to that point. While this song may initially sound like another cheesy 80’s power ballad…it has very easy bass and a simple drum pattern…all of a sudden a kick-ass guitar solo kicks in around the 3 minute mark that is a ton of fun to play. This song will be a blast (in a non-ironic way) to sing at parties.
