Yes, Zappa on guitar. You've got to realize one thing about Zappa, there were no rules. You could expect him to do anything at any time. He played in literally every genre. The guy wrote for band and orchestra, jazz fusion, rock, pop, funk, punk, orchestral, musique concrete, you name it. Master of satire, lyrical insanity, and beyond. There was only one and will never be another one, Zappa. RIP, maestro.
In the late 70s and 1980s yeah , he improved massively when he was seriously injured in the mid 70s , he didn’t have much to do so he practiced a lot when previously he wasn’t that interested in pushing his limits as a technical player too much.
I saw Frank live 5 times. There has never been a group of better musicians assembled. He was a demanding boss who knew how to bring out the best everyone in his band had in them.
FZ was a musical genius who really didn’t give a shit about vocals. He considered them filler. It was about the music. He could also play the shit out of the guitar.
Don't underestimate Zappa on lyrics, he definitely used them to make social points and loved adding humor. Frank didn't do things half assed. He totally cared about vocals, had incredible singers and demanded good performances.
Frank's a tough listen if you're not ready. A genius really but few people could get past the tongue in cheek, improvisational, multi-genre, edgy, jazzy, risque' brand of music he produced over the years. Btw Wayne Shorter just died. He played on "Aja" song by Steely Dan. He played that gorgeous sax you heard in that song. RIP Wayne Shorter.
This man was a musical genius. Over 60 albums and produced every one of them himself. Hated mainstream and BS in general. Was a shredder too. Love some Zappa! RIP
One does not simply start listening to Frank Zappa. You need to find your entry point into his vast catalog. Once you start to understand what he was about, the rest will reveal themselves to you. Start with Black Napkins, Regyptian Strut, and Peaches en Regalia. Then start with stuff off Apostrophe and Overnight Sensation to warm up to the vocal tracks. By then you’ll be all in for Zappa’s genius.
Finally… you may not realize it but today you guys have reacted to two of the most underrated guitarists of all time; Frank Zappa and Terry Kath. Terry unfortunately didn’t live in the spotlight long enough to be fully appreciated and Frank’s lyrics and complicated compositions kept many from listening to a lot of his work. Both were absolutely amazing at their craft. Frank was a musical magician!
Hey, this is definitely not something you see people reacting to every day - Frank is very much a unique experience every time, and not for everybody. Love how you guys are digging into some deep tracks on your channel. I'm not a big Zappa fan, but I can definitely appreciate his unique genius and particular view on the world. Keep on tripping ✌
I almost broke my finger clicking play when I saw this video come up on your channel! You guys are about to go on a trip down a wormhole that you might not come back from💯
There's a video here on RUclips where Frank Zappa introduces Steve Vai to the world. It's live from Rome Italy 1982. You wanna hear some guitar playing...YOU WILL LOVE THIS💯 Fast forward about 20-25 yrs and you've got Steve Vai doing his great song "For the love of God" with a full orchestra...THIS WILL GIVE YOU CHILLS❗️❗️❗️❗️
Ok...you did it now. The entire "Apostrophe" album...genius level writing and only the absolute best players of their day. Believe it or not, Zappa was heavy NO to drugs. You couldn't be in his band doing that.
There is a difference between making "beats' and seeing how far you can push musical limits. Frank took it all to the extreme but still kept in mind that what he was doing was entertainment. I got to see Frank in concert two times, amazing and yes Frank was the guitar player.
A musical genius Not only a guitarist but the composer of all the instruments And no frank didn't drink or do any drugs This is the deepest of the deep rabbit holes He literally has thousands of songs
Of More then 300+ live Concerts FZ is still my #1 show I've ever experienced from 1982. My all time Favorite songwriter, Composer and 🎸Guitarist. Don't miss his son Dweezil when he comes to a town near you.
Zappa was a musical genius and one of the most underrated guitarists ever. He released over 50 albums during his life .. his lyrics were out there but his compositions and arrangements of music and instruments is unparalleled. He had the best musicians and some of the best drummers ever .
This was the second time George Duke was in Zappa's band. The first was about 1970 or so when Duke won an audition against stiff competition. Duke came strictly from the jazz & classical world and later said Zappa immediately started turning him on to blues and rock. Duke was resistant at first.
It’s all subjective. It’s one of my favorites. Great band, great song, great solo and great recording. I like it a lot more than the video from the Palladium (I was there for 3 shows) that seems to be more popular.
My favorite version, I was fortunate to see FZ one time, he was closing his shows with “ Whippin Post”, Allman brothers classic, now my favorite version is Franks.
YOU DID IT! You went down the Zappa road. Not the song I would have started with but at least you began the journey. Check out the Overnite Sensation album and make sure you have the lyrics downloaded.
Very much enjoyed your reaction guys! I’ve been a Frank Zappa fan since 1971, when I first heard him, back in Germany. You gotta listen to, or watch the live “Inca Roads” performance of The Mothers, with George Duke on the KEYBOARDS. I promise, you won’t regret. Take care, Michael!
Worth a subscription and like just for having the flexibility to do this. Lucky to see him live twice in the UK. I truly believe that - like many of the great classical composers - his music will only be fully recognised and appreciated a long time into the future.
I just watched this reaction again it’s a good one! I don’t know if you do requests from comments but if you guys could do the live 1977 video of this song I’d love to see it. Thx great stuff!
You guys need to dive down the HUGE Frank Zappa hole. He was a very interesting & influential industry giant with a prolific catelog. He was all about playful, profane, diverse and innovative compositions with totally complex rhythmic components. He was also a brilliant composer whose bands were technically excellent.
You guys definitely gotta do more Frank Zappa! Apostrophe is a must (album is bomb). His live performances are also some of the most entertaining you’ll ever see
Great reaction; Zappa was a musician’s musician, and he only played with the best in his band. Too many albums (60+), whole albums best, but easier way in is ‘Yellow Snow Suite’ on ‘Apostrophe’, or ‘Inca Roads’ on ‘One Size Firs All’ (side 2 of which is sublime).
The drummer on this (Terry Bozzio) is the best drummer I've ever seen, by far. He's just frighteningly good. And Zappa didn't do drugs, by the way. A lot of people assumed he did because of the way he looked, but tobacco was his only vice. Edit: Oh, and make sure to hear "Inca Roads" - it grooves HARD.
Frank was famously Anti-Drug. If you were in his band and got caught using drugs you had two choices, window or aisle seat for your ticket home. Frank is the guitar player, and composer.
Genius, bizarre, humorous, serious, drug free, creative and talented are just a few ways people describe Frank Zappa. Cosmik Debris, Joe’s Garage, Montana, Willie The Pimp and Stink-Foot are a few of my favorite songs out of many Zappa classics. Hope to see you react to some of them. ✌🏻
I love seeing your reactions to Frank Zappa. He is the most underrated guitarist ever and a musical genius. Unfortunately you won’t be able to see him in concert. FZ died in 1993, sadly.
I was wondering when you guys were going to run across Zappa!!! This dude is pure genius..He is playing guitar on all his songs and kills it!! His band that he keeps with him are top tier musicians..You definitely gotta see this live..Some of his albums are stories so ya have to listen to them accordingly..I suggest "Cosmic debris"..This is a deep rabbit hole gentlemen..R.I.P. Frank Zappa!! Shout out from the old metal head from Detroit..Peace and love..
I like that you listened to the studio version first, but check it out in tge live version too, it here on YT, and all done without drugs, just black pages! Zappa Lives!
So many great musicians went through ZAPPAS BAND it was incredible...FRANK ONE OF THE GOATS ON GUITAR. Terry Bozzio on drums one of the greats...also ZAPPAS BAND doing the WIPPING POST is classic...LIVE! 1984
Great reaction, guys! Welcome to the genius world of Frank Zappa. He and all of the band members are top-notch musicians. This rabbit hole is Deeeep! Enjoy the ride :)
Im glad you liked this song. When we were kids in the 70s listening to this tune at the end of an evening we had tears of laughter running down our faces from the words before being mesmerized every time by the guitar. Some readers may know better, but i think i heard that most of his "studio albums" were based on live tracks. i still think my favorite album is roxy and elsewhere, followed by one size fits all. keep up the excellent work.
You both are rollin hard core now.😉 Whoever recommended this masterpiece deserves a shoutout! Saw this tour, and never thought “Muffin Man” would appear on anyone’s radar. Frank shreds. Btw, try “Yellow Snow” when you get the itch for more Frank. 🤘😎
Great reaction! Love to see musicians listening to Zappa for the first time. And yes, you need to see a live performance. I suggest Inca Roads from The Dub Room Special. Or Florentine Pogen.
- For quintessential Zappa finesse: "Peaches en Regalia" (instrumental). - More ripping/groove: "Willie The Pimp". - Be "forewarned", Zappa has a WIDE range of creative/musical offerings! Enjoy
I got to see him live. His shows were great bits of musical wizardry. ZAppa was one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived. Muffin Man was often done as an encore.
This track has Frank on lead guitar. He has had Adrian Belew, Steve Vai , Matt Guitar Murphy and other greats. Frank was phenomenal playing lead as well. Great tune
oh my, one of the all time great composers in the history of music ....62 albums to his credit with his band ...the mothers of invention ...a few song sugestions you would enjoy reviewing....Peaches En Regalia, Joes Garage, Moving To Montana , Cosmic Debris , I'm the Slime , Disco Boy, San Bernardino , Fine Girl , Lets Make The Water Turn Black..... and so many more
Actually saw Zappa in concert. At the time he was making a quilt out of panties that girls had thrown on stage. He brought out the quilt, and sure enuff, the panties started flying lol.
JOY...! You found FRANK..! With over 50 Albums he plays all styles of Music. Like all other bands, the early years are the best albums. MUST DO A FULL ALBUM REVIEW OF JOE'S GARAGE. I promise you have never heard anything like it. It is an easy to follow story of Joe, and how Music messed his whole life up, narrated by the Censorship government and best background Music you ever heard. Along with some great tunes. He is also a ground breaking musician that has had many of the best players under his wing. Ever note of every song for every instrument is hand written by Zappa. PS: Must finish the Fragile Album, and Must review MADE IN JAPAN live by Deep Purple. The 20 Minute version of Space Trucking is the best live son g you will ever hear.
Please keep the Zappa coming! The breadth and scope of his music is unparalleled. "Inca Roads" would probably be a good direction to go after The Muffin Man.
Hi guys,one of my best moment when i lived in 8:31 US was to see Zappa performing live in the 80's i think it was in Jersey Arena. Concert of wel over 3 hours. Remarkable he never advocated the use of drugs and by his own statement never made use of it.
The brotha's at it again!! Frank Zappa and the Mother's drummer, Terry Bozio guitar center drum off 2011 has the largest drum set known to mankind, and totally shreds it, check it out!!
No drugs involved at all. Frank lived a clean life in that respect. He was just a wild man who could not be constrained to conventions! And a musical genius.
Frank tried on every night to play a different solo and a different style for each song and as he used to say, when he was out there he was out there alone... Just him challenging himself and the universe. His solos make sense from start to finish, he is one of the greatest improvisational composers of the modern era.
Frank Zappa was a musical genius and you either get it or you don't.
Yes, Zappa on guitar. You've got to realize one thing about Zappa, there were no rules. You could expect him to do anything at any time. He played in literally every genre. The guy wrote for band and orchestra, jazz fusion, rock, pop, funk, punk, orchestral, musique concrete, you name it. Master of satire, lyrical insanity, and beyond. There was only one and will never be another one, Zappa. RIP, maestro.
He also made music for himself. Not for fame, riches, or glory, just for the sake of making his art.
Zappa was garbage
Frankincensed... Well said
An ugly boring asshole and his music too 🤣
1 rule, no drugs
No drugs! If you were in his band, you had to be sober, read music and be on top of your game.
Of course coffee & cigarettes were classified as 'food staples'.
Could shit zappa play guitar with his ugly nose? 🤣
Zappa was garbage
@@marlon-jl4ge Imagine being a zappa hater in 2023. Dude is long dead, talk about wasting your time.
@@shuheihisagi6689 shit zappa was an ugly boring asshole and his music too 🤣
Lyrically, Frank Zappa is comedic, salacious and scathing. Musically, he is untouchable. One of THE best guitarists of the era.
THE best of any era. Changed my life when I heard cosmic debris at 15 years old. Zappa was the best.
In the late 70s and 1980s yeah , he improved massively when he was seriously injured in the mid 70s , he didn’t have much to do so he practiced a lot when previously he wasn’t that interested in pushing his limits as a technical player too much.
He almost exclusively improvised
I saw Frank live 5 times. There has never been a group of better musicians assembled. He was a demanding boss who knew how to bring out the best everyone in his band had in them.
No drugs here. Just a great imagination and phenomenal musicianship.
Zappa was an arrogant asshole and ignorant

Zappa is my favorite guitarist. Genius artist.
Wow, I wouldn't have expected this, Zappa is an acquired taste, but a pure genius level musician.

@@alansmith7626 No doubt. Jeff Beck, Tom Verlaine, Dave Trugoy, Wayne Shorter. That's within 2 months. Visionaries in their field.
Frank is the guitarist and musical visionary of the whole band!!!
Have you ever listened to his recordings of his guitar solos? So melancholy!!
Could shit zappa play guitar with his ugly nose? 🤣 🤣🤣
Steve Vai played with him briefly too.
Shit zappa changed the music World of boring assholes

Your 1st Zappa's is like your very first Malt Liquor.
This man was a musical genius. Over 60 albums and produced every one of them himself. Hated mainstream and BS in general. Was a shredder too. Love some Zappa! RIP
He wanted his audience to laugh...but you have to be in on the joke!!! When they throw down, the throw down. Good stuff!!!

Check out more Frank. He will amaze.
That's a great example of why you need to see the live performances of Zappa. Franks guitar almost has to be seen to be believed
It’s all Frank Zappa guitar. You should listen to black napkins, the best guitar solo ever
Of More then 300+ live Concerts FZ is still my #1 show I've ever experienced from 1982.

Zappa. The man was from another universe. Truly a once in a generation artist.
This was the second time George Duke was in Zappa's band. The first was about 1970 or so when Duke won an audition against stiff competition. Duke came strictly from the jazz & classical world and later said Zappa immediately started turning him on to blues and rock. Duke was resistant at first.
yep you're correct, he did not want to sing or play synth.
Zappa was filth
Turns out George didn't have to audition, he was invited in 1968 after Zappa & everyone else in L.A. saw him with Jean-Luc Ponty. I slouch corrected.
There was a group called the George Duke Jean Luc Ponty experience that made a live album around 1970. Frank played a solo on the last song.
Great to see that you two got it!
As a long time old guitar player I consider this to be possibly the best live guitar solo ever recorded...
It’s all subjective. It’s one of my favorites. Great band, great song, great solo and great recording. I like it a lot more than the video from the Palladium (I was there for 3 shows) that seems to be more popular.
FRANK ZAPPA IS A MUSICAL GENIUS
Been Jammin to Frank Zappa forever , i'm 63 & life goes on , San Antonio , Texas
My favorite version, I was fortunate to see FZ one time, he was closing his shows with “ Whippin Post”, Allman brothers classic, now my favorite version is Franks.
Now you've done it! You've broken the Zappa seal. You'll never be the same again. Prepare to be fascinated if you pursue this artist.

Welcome to the Zappa rabbit hole, probably the best composer of the 20th century and with over 100 albums you'll be stuck for life. Enjoy.

Great reaction to this monster track. The deeper you dig into ZAPPA, the harder you fall.
Frank was straight edge ... hard to believe, yet true (I believe)
FANTASTIC guitarist 😎👍
I got to see him live. His shows were great bits of musical wizardry. ZAppa was one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived. Muffin Man was often done as an encore.
As said Frank was straight as an arrow. The reason it sounds that wild is because he was a creative genius.
This track has Frank on lead guitar. He has had Adrian Belew, Steve Vai , Matt Guitar Murphy and other greats. Frank was phenomenal playing lead as well. Great tune
Frank Zappa is the most important musician that paved the way for all music today.

Thats Frank in Guitar. Try Black Napkins or watermelons in easter hay
I love coming back to this watching you guys discover Frank…. I’m always fixed on the drum fills…
Hell yeah! That was Zappa on guitar
Check out Black Napkins or Uncle Remus by Zappa :)
Joe's garage is the triple album by him that changed my life I was definitely different after I heard Zappa
Please keep the Zappa coming! The breadth and scope of his music is unparalleled. "Inca Roads" would probably be a good direction to go after The Muffin Man.
Hi guys,one of my best moment when i lived in 8:31 US was to see Zappa performing live in the 80's i think it was in Jersey Arena. Concert of wel over 3 hours.
Remarkable he never advocated the use of drugs and by his own statement never made use of it.
The brotha's at it again!! Frank Zappa and the Mother's drummer, Terry Bozio guitar center drum off 2011 has the largest drum set known to mankind, and totally shreds it, check it out!!
No drugs involved at all. Frank lived a clean life in that respect. He was just a wild man who could not be constrained to conventions! And a musical genius.
Frank tried on every night to play a different solo and a different style for each song and as he used to say, when he was out there he was out there alone... Just him challenging himself and the universe. His solos make sense from start to finish, he is one of the greatest improvisational composers of the modern era.
