MadScreamingGallery Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Just saw this ! Damn, another legend gone...RIP Don't know if you knew this already but Beefheart had cited as his influences (in addition to Dylan, Bo Diddley, etc.) the likes of Robert Johnson, Son House, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, etc. You can hear the influences of those blues legends in this song.

MadScreamingGallery Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 http://www.beefheart.com/ Definitely worth a look Thanks. Just have so many memories of him...my friends and I loved him...at one show he was playing the sax, stomping around stage in a floor-length cassock, looking like a crazed, demented monk. Pulling out the old vinyl in his honor today while I'm baking my Christmas baklava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have an older brother who's responsible for turning me onto the likes of Zappa, Wild Man Fischer and Beefheart. I'm not a big fan of a lot of it but I feel thankful to have been exposed to the avant garde side of rock n' roll early on. It opened my eyes and ears to a lot of things I'll forever be thankful for.

Swede Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks. Just have so many memories of him...my friends and I loved him...at one show he was playing the sax, stomping around stage in a floor-length cassock, looking like a crazed, demented monk. Pulling out the old vinyl in his honor today while I'm baking my Christmas baklava. That's one of my favourites, and an early single by Beefheart.. Sure love his music. Safe As Milk is a great psych/blues record! Funny guy, that man Don... RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 R.I.P, I was introduced to his music a few years back after knowing his name but not really his music. A one off and am sure Zappa was influenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was on vacation so haven't been able to contribute till now--anyway, thanks to John Peel I got into Beefheart early and often, and Safe as Milk is still one of my favorite albums ever. (Possibly because it's also his bluesiest, IMO.). Though I have to say that Trout Mask Replica is just amazing. Such a shame he left music to follow his (other) artistic pursuits, but I guess he felt he'd said all he had to say. R.I.P., indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
