Diskussion:Aynsley Dunbar

Lennon und Ono holten Aynsley Dunbar samt Zappa Band für eine LP Aufnahme?

Welch ein Schwachsinn! John Lennon und Yoko Ono besuchten Frank Zappa unangemeldet in New York. Dort wurde spontan vereinbart beim zweiten Konzert im Fillmore East am 6. Juni 1971 als Überraschung mit auf die Bühne zu kommen und zu jammen.

Aufnahmen daraus (in schlechter Qualität) verwendete Lennon auf seiner LP "Some Time in New York City"..

Zappa's Werk "King Kong" wurde dabei ohne Authorisierung von Lennon/Ono unter dem Namen "Jamrag" widerrechtlich verwendet und das auch noch unter eigenen credits.

Als wären die beiden jemals in der Lage gewesen so einen song zu schreiben. Lächerlich!

Das ganze Geschehen wurde später auf der DoCD "Playground Psychotics" vom Zappa Family Trust in besserer Qualität veröffentlicht.

Zappa in his own words:

As Zappa recalled on his 1984 Interview Picture Disc: “A journalist in New York City woke me up – knocked on the door and is standing there with a tape recorder and goes, ‘Frank, I’d like to introduce you to John Lennon,’ you know, waiting for me to gasp and fall on the floor. And I said, ‘Well, OK. Come on in.’ And we sat around and talked, and I think the first thing he said to me was, ‘You’re not as ugly as I thought you would be’. So anyway, I thought he had a pretty good sense of humour so I invited him to come down and jam with us at the Fillmore East. We had already booked in a recording truck because we were making the Live at the Fillmore album at the time.”

The audience was blown away with the arrival of John and Yoko, and many people commented on how well the pair blended with the far-out sound of the Mothers. But, looking back on his performance with Lennon, Zappa recalled feeling bitter about with the whole experience: “The bad part is,” Zappa began, “There’s a song that I wrote called ‘King Kong’ which we played that night, and I don’t know whether it was Yoko’s idea or John’s idea, but they changed the name of the song to ‘Jamrag’, gave themselves writing and publishing credit on it, stuck it on an album and never paid me,” Zappa added. “It was obviously not a jam session song: It’s got a melody, it’s got a bass line; it’s obviously an organized song. Little bit disappointing.” --Curtis6001 (Diskussion) 22:01, 27. Okt. 2022 (CEST)
