Post by: Lexington on January 24, 2007, 04:55:59 pm: the music of the dead has touched me more and in more ways than even my uncle jimmy. but, that joke was brought to you by mental damage inflicted by zappa\'s tunes. as far as musical composition and musicianship as well as the tightness and shenanigans of live performances, its all zappa.
as far as just good ol\' fashioned jamming improvisation and jerry garcia being my favorite guitarist, it gota be the dead. plus, jerry never made fun of me for liking his music and smoking herb.

phish wins!

I vote Smashing Pumpkins

Post by: derickw on January 25, 2007, 08:28:28 am: if it weren\'t for the Grateful Dead i prolly would not have met all the phine folks i have. I felt like a butterfly stepping out of a cocoon....... ok that was kind of gay, how about a cicada. hey hibernate for years and emerge to make a shit load of noise. i don\'t know, basically they changed my life for the better and if i were stuck on a deserted island with one cd it would be without a net

Post by: kindm's on January 25, 2007, 02:09:06 pm: As much as I respect Frank Zappa as an artist and prolific recording artist The Grateful Dead changed my life forever.

Musically, Spiritually, and consciously they set me on a life\'s journey that continues to this day. It has made me a better person for it IMHO

paranoid or livin in the now?
Title: Zappa Vs. Dead (The Battle is back!)
Post by: siflandollie on February 13, 2007, 06:49:42 pm: My vote goes for Zappa.
Why? Cause when Jerry was shootin\' up Frank was writing a new tune. Hands down one of the hardest working musicians of the last 100 years.

"As much as I respect Frank Zappa as an artist and prolific recording artist The Grateful Dead changed my life forever.

Musically, Spiritually, and consciously they set me on a life\'s journey that continues to this day. It has made me a better person for it IMHO"

I feel the same way about Zappa, he seriously did change my life forever on more than one occasion.

Post by: Stephengencs on February 13, 2007, 10:10:21 pm: If not for Jer and the music of the Dead, I would still be searching for a lot more. That band has led me to some amazing people and journeys.......Thanks to Tim and Adrian I have been exposed to so much amazing music by Frank Zappa.......I love them both but if I had to pick one, I would undoubtedly choose the music of the Grateful Dead.

Now did Zappa ever play with the Dead or Jer ever play with Frank Zappa?
Title: Zappa Vs. Dead (The Battle is back!)
Post by: Rickey Roux on February 13, 2007, 10:33:39 pm: As for the Dead and Zappa playing together, this was the closest I ever got to see. Once saw the JGB open up for Zappa at the U.I.C. Pavillion in Chicago (8/18/84). I remember JGB was so loud my ears rang for days and Zappa\'s encore, a little ditty called "Ride My Face to Chicago". But, alas, they did not play together.
Title: Zappa Vs. Dead (The Battle is back!)
Post by: Stephengencs on February 13, 2007, 10:59:50 pm: Thanks for the heads up Mr. Roux.........
Must have been a ser show.....
Ride My Face To Chicago.....definitely listened to that from You Cant Do That On Stage Anymore Vol.3 Disc 1.........Tim picked up a lot of Zappa on tour in Oct......I was definitely exposed to more Zappa than ever....it was quite amazing.....

I don\'t think so... although they have both played at some of the same festies (like Dec 1968\'s Gulf Stream Race Park). One more random fact: The Persuasions have had tribute albums for both GD & Zappa.
