Mike Keneally with the Aristocrats (Zomby Woof)

[@flickyflux]

Time for Rick Beato to get Mike on a show. He's talked with or talked up everyone else here.

[@williamdwyer5439]

Mike Keneally is fantastic. It's easy to see why Frank Zappa liked him.

[@willy1957]

William Dwyer And he keeps Zappa's music alive.

[@SDA7337]

Beller has been playing with Mike Keneally for 20 years or so. Zappa once said MK had the best ears in his band. MK has a bunch of really good records. Love em.

[@csgrinds]

He's been cropping up a bit for me lately. He is eerily good at channeling Zappa's style...I appreciate him doing that when he doesn't need to.

[@tonini76]

Best crossover ever: Keneally+Aristocrats+Zappa=TREMENDOUS!

[@johnnyaxe2004]

He does a solo acoustic version of Inca Roads that is a must see

[@bobbycampbell3097]

I'm not sure why all the complaints. This is a band of "zero individual ego" and infinite mutual respect for each other and the music. They are playing something very close to the version from "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life" which is quite ok, as MK was on that recording. No way in the world would those guys have been anything other than wildly happy to be on that stage with each other in that moment. Awesome piece of video; I'm lucky to have seen it. Thanks so much for posting.

[@LiberalSquared]

That's my preferred version, anyway. Is that the same recording as You Can't Do that on Stage Anymore?

[@simonpepper9721]

@@LiberalSquared The version on bbynhiyl is clean guitar sound.

[@johnnyaxe2004]

That's one of my FAVORITE Frank albums..among soooo many.but Mike absolutely KILLS IT!!!! WOW!!! As a Frank loyalist this is amazing!!

[@musicisthebestF]

You can read in Guthrie s face that he enjoys playing with Mike Keneally

[@HughGotIt]

I don't always listen to stunt guitarist. But, when I do. I listen to Mike Keneally. Stay fluid, my friend.

[@bobkalkman4739]

What was really cool was seeing (many tours) Keneally as stunt guitarist for the original stunt guitarist, Steve Vai. That was a guitar show...

[@markw1354]

Mother Mary & Joseph, just ran across this. FUCKING AWESOME !!! HUGE FZ fan here for 42 years. Best damn composer to come out of America, and the most innovative guitarist I've ever heard or seen. Mr. Keneally does it much justice . . .

[@hakanozelguitarist]

Finally! Guthrie does Zappa! Been waiting for years for this ever since I read somewhere that he had all the crazy xylophone parts down in his early 20s.. :-D

[@shoominati23]

How can I have missed out on this keneally guy for so long??? omg

[@JUMBOpin]

shoominati23 He's done more than you think :-D

[@shoominati23]

I know, I looked at his wiki page and generally they're under researched. far out.

[@johnnyaxe2004]

Me too. He is above amazing!! And a super nice guy as well!!! Frank lucked out with him. And he didn’t even know how to read music!!!

[@spacewasterofficial]

that drummer is in the POCKET, i mean goddamn. groovin..

[@workablob]

I met Guthrie at a recent Houston gig. His lady took me on a nice walking tour of north London a few years ago. I had no idea who she was talking about. So, I was finally able to meet him. Lol, he already knew who I was from his lady telling him about me. Thank you Nathalie. Poor guy was recovering from COVID at the time.

[@mttmtmmt5701]

Four of my favorite performers playing together - bliss...

[@kristiecopeland]

best concert of my life. so glad I was there

[@smoovegittar]

Thanks Frank - for inspiring these cats.

[@TommyWashow]

the one band where you can step in for a song and go "do you guys know zomby woof?"

[@josephlombardo8477]

I'm so grateful we still have Mike

[@teedub9295]

The best guitar player no one ever knew.

[@sidneyrichard5319]

Not many bands could enen walk up to this song, let alone kick ass with it... Guthrie... Mike... tellin you all my zomby troof...

[@FOHguy]

You name a guitar player. If Mike Keneally can't keep up with them, it's because he he blows them away

[@namklak6]

Minneman and Beller are so lucky - who will be our guitarist today, Keneally or Govan? Or how about both?

[@bobbycampbell3097]

And another thing... Why the hell did it take me so long to learn about the post-Zappa Keneally? I have so much lost time to make up!!!!

[@midwesterner2023]

MK took great measures to familiarize himself with the music of FZ. When FZ heard him play when auditioning, it was instant respect, and the rest is history….

[@dockaiser]

Marco is killing it ... wie immer

[@periurban]

one of Zappa's biggest fans, kicking seven hells out of one of his greatest tunes. Fantastic!

[@deluge71]

I saw Keneally for the second time at ProgDay this year. Phenomenal player and great human being.

[@suedeface]

Keneally is so generous. Saw him during tour for Sluggo. He was walking around the club and had his guitar on. He showed me how to play one part of "I Can't Stop" that I couldn't figure out.

[@deluge71]

@@suedeface So awesome.

Mike teaching the young kids how its done , hats off , to MIke , Alfred NYC / PR

[@davidroywiltse1138]

Damm he is fantastic bloody amazing

[@Kwert]

Guthrie is amazing and may be a ridiculously big Zappa fan, but Mike WAS IN ZAPPA'S BAND. No more debate - they're both unreal musicians.

[@fibboobbif]

Minnemann is a monster drummer. He used to play along zappa tunes to warm up before any studio sessions in the 1990s :-)

[@doajim]

Mike Keneally ripped my head off

[@jublaim]

Damn!!! This was VERY nice😃

[@guillermomartinez4418]

Mike kenealy is a marvelous muscician!

[@TubingSD]

A perfect example of how attending your average Mike Keneally show will leave you exhausted...in the best way possible.

[@bobkalkman2502]

Why do I have to watch this about 4 times a year? Damn....

[@snottydyck]

Fast and Bulbous!!!

[@atomaalatonal]

compared to other shred session they at least got the wild comical zappa feel to it. vai never got that, he was always vai. even dweezil is missing this wildness and humor. so do all bands with zappas ex musicians. but funnily there are a few bands out there on youtube which catched that spirit, big bands , small jazz combos, solo musicians all sorts.

[@ivi13]

Holy Shit! This Is Too Good!

A word to the wise, Zomby Woof was originally an instrumental, as was 50/50.

Yeah, but the Ricky Lancelotti vocals on the version of 50/50 with lyrics is HILARIOUS.

These are not humans. These are monsters. If we're not careful, they're going to stomp all over Tokyo, New York, London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Paris, Beijing, and they will leave a wreckage of broken guitar strings in their wake. Ernie Ball can't possibly produce enough 009s and 010s to satiate their appetites.
