Legendary guitarist Frank Zappa was not only a talented musician, but offered biting social commentary along with insightful political and philosophical ideas.
I have seen 100s of zappa interviews - this is one of my favorite - the rapport between the men is solid, direct but friendly. Have not seen an interview with such frank and direct questions actually. Where on earth is the second half.
It's funny, depending what interview you're seeing, you can always tell whether or not Frank liked the interviewer or was generally in a good mood. The friendly but solid ones are the best ones!
@@XX-zu2rd That is so very true. Some interviewers are also very skilled at what they do in terms of listening to the man that they get the best of results such as Dick Cavett and David Letterman.
i've got a question you might be able to help me answer if you've seen 100s of zappa interviews... a pal has a recollection of him talking about ''discount musicians'' in relation to how he got so many big stars to play with his band, and ''hair choreography'' lol...
On hippie references, Zappa always said of himself "Never a hippie, always a freak."
Absolute genius. People try so hard to be "out there" and "far out" but are genuinely afraid of showing any bit of real crazy or freakish attitude. Zappa is freakishly awesome.
Frank Zappa's voice is ahead of his time
When Frank holds up the album, it is likely only a picture of the cover. This interview was conducted on Oct. 10, 1967. The final mix of that album was done in Oct. '67, and the album wasn't released until March of '68. Also, the cover had been reversed with the inside being the front cover over disputes over the Sgt. Pepper cover. Very interesting.
Frank was ,,,well frank! No bull ,no filter!
Frank was smooth and disarming!
Er...Frank told plenty of bull. Like when he said he replaced the drums and bass on the first few albums because the modern crowd wouldn't like the old sound, but it was in fact so that those original musicians wouldn't get their royalties.
Can you imagine?? Woody Allen, Neil Diamond and Zappa on the same bill...and I bet it cost $5 if even that
So $20 today?
😂 Zappa had an effective way of despising the interviewer just by mislding the host. Great!
Anybody know who the interviewer is ?
Kinda looks like Theodore Bikel in
2OO MOTELS . . .
Rance Muhammitz
What a cool dude
Where’s part 2
Zappa seems to get weirdly emotional around 3:19. It's almost like he's holding back a tear. Curious.
So curious
I don't get it, I sense nothing of the sort
CIGARRET
No he was tryna figure out how to convey his words to the topic he wouldn’t be so smear to tear up 😂
@Arlie ૐ I remember reading a magazine interview many years ago where the interviewer asked him if he ever cries and he said yes, but he was very vague. He just said it might be something he would see on TV. I believe it was that same interview where he was asked, "Do you have any 'close people'?" To which he said, "I don't have any close people, I have a wife & four kids."
There was something about that guy that made him fascinating.
Life is lumpy gravy...😎
l wanted to hear what that song was about : "Let's turn the water black"
Lol, if you are a Zappe fan then you would know that it's about Kenny & Ronnie, neighbors of Zappa at one time
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that on 10/15/67 FZ would be promoting an album (“Money”) that came out on 3/4/68?!? Why the discrepancy?
the album's release was delayed owing to various factors (including getting permission for the Sgt Peppers spoof cover, which in the event ended up on the inside of the sleeve)
Frank WAS a hippy.. just not a drugged-up one.
Being a hippie is all about being drugged up, so he wasn’t a hippie
... never judge by appearance.
Also didn’t like head bands, beads, ponchos or pot 😂😂
