TicTacWoe 0 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Has died at the age of 69 after a long battle with MS Quite liked a bit of Beefheart myself although I can understand him not being everyone's cup of tea. Any other fans on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41361 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Bit of a Zappa fan here, heard some of his stuff, but by no means all. True renegade, artist, mentalist. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac-Toon 1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 A wizard on both the sax and harmonica. An aquired taste, I think. Legend in his own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14002 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 R.I.P I'm a big fan and my Dad was a big fan too. Some pretty mental listening! Safe as Milk being my favourite. His paintings/sculptures are also pretty mad, it's sad because at the peak of his career mainstream America saw him as a freak and didn't really give his work much credence. The guy was a genius, even when he was a millionaire he was living by himself in a caravan in the desert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I wasn't aware he ever made a million, though I've heard the stories about the band struggling to afford their meals for prolonged periods. Apparantly the Captain was fond of crossbows That's one way to win an argument I guess. I need to give Safe as Milk a listen, if only for Ry Cooder.

Monkeys Fist 41361 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Grown So Ugly Love the Black Keys version, had no idea Beefheart did it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14002 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Beefhearts was still a cover but it's a very old song. Both the black keys are massive Beefheart fans like and they often whack a beefheart song into the set. He nails the voice like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
