Michael Joseph Keneally (Born December 20, 1961) is an American musician.
Born in Long Island, New York, he moved to San Diego, California at an early age and has been a fixture on the local music scene there since 1985 when he formed the local cult band, Drop Control.
Although a well established musician in his own right, Keneally is probably most well known as former Frank Zappa “stunt guitarist” and a Zappa 1988 tour band member.

His ascendency to that position is legendary in certain musician circles, based on Keneally’s command over the vast and difficult Zappa repertoire. Unfortunately, his stint in the Zappa touring band was short lived with the early cancellation of the 88 tour and Zappa’s death in 1993. Keneally moved on from the elder Zappa’s band to work with the eldest Zappa son, Dweezil on his solo albums and work released as the band, Z.
Keneally has also released nine albums of solo material since 1992 and has guested or acted as sideman on a wide variety of projects, most notably as part of Steve Vai’s touring bands.
He has played guitar and keyboards with Yo Miles!, Wadada Leo Smith and Henry Kaiser’s Miles Davis tribute band. He is currently touring as part of the Dethklok live show.

    It's kinda creepy how I start thinking of Mike every time I listen to Lady Gaga. Like, what the. He's everywhere in my brain.

    Saw Keneally play in Boston years ago where, seized by a seemingly uncontrollable urge, he leapt off the stage and burst into a fiery thirty-second rendition of "Siberian Khatru," much to the surprise of his bandmates and, most likely, himself. Many jaws were dropped, some never found. Say, when's his collaboration with Andy Partridge going to see the light of day anyhow?

    If you ever see Sluggo.. even if you think it's a bit expensive, don't pass it up.. absolutely amazing!!!! Hopefully he'll re-release it sometime soon! Thanks Mike, you are a truly creative soul, on many different levels!

Mike Keneally ripped my head off! ;-) well, I had the same experience as Doe_A_Deer had, after a concert of MK & friends in Freiburg/Germany a few years ago. we did chat in the break & after the concert and MK is really one of the nicest guys I ever met, both musically and friendly-wise. his approach to "making music" will be inspiring me forever! tanx Mike :))
