SHOW US YOUR METALSUCKS: THE ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA EDITION

 Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 3:30pm by

This has to my favorite entry yet into our ongoing Show Us Your MetalSucks contest, in which you send in pics of yourself in some fun/funny setting donning your MS t-shirt or hoodie in exchange for a buncha free shit. MS Maniac Daniel Toth spotted Zappa Plays Zappa bassist Pete Griffin (not to be confused with the character from Family Guy) wearing one of our shirts at a recent gig, and sent us a link to the below video. And now I can say that I almost kinda sorta have a connection to the Zappa family! Which is amazing. We’re so cool.

And while Zappa Plays Zappa might not be a metal band, they are a good band, and Pete sure is rockin’ the fuck out in that stylin’ shirt.

So I guess our merch is really popular with bassists. Singers, guitarists, drummers, and keyboardists: it’s okay for you to wear our shit, too. It doesn’t bite!

    Dweezil has to be one of the most under-rated guitarists ever

    • Thrashbuster

      Agreed. But to be fair. You only get so much recognition playin shit your dad wrote years ago.

      And yet he still comes nowhere near the genius of Frank.

    Zappa Plays Zappa, not Zappa On Zappa.

      THANK YOU.

      Music is the best.

    by far the best live band I have ever seen(3 times). I love metal (easily my favorite kind of music), but zappa playa zappa is t-riffic. I would have been embarassed to be in Dream Theater and have to follow Zappa Plays Zappa on the Progressive Nation tour. I think the Dweez might by a better guitar player than his old man.
