One of Frank's 10 best ever songs.
I miss Frank Zappa 🫤
There will never be anyone like Frank Zappa again. He was a singular entity. He walked a different path, but a total genius. I am grateful that I do get him and I crank him up often.
This entire album is worth your attention. Zappa dismissed most of the members of his Mothers of Invention band for "Hot Rats" and sent out for some of the best jazz players in L.A. "Peaches" has the feel of a fabulous march, and Zappa had played in his high school marching band. Ron Selico is the drummer, Shuggie Otis plays bass, and Mothers woodwind/keyboard/electronica wizard Ian Underwood are the group here, but there are are other jazzers on the other tracks. The Mellotron had just become available, and Zappa was all over anything new and electric. Underneath it all, of course, everyone played their butt off on this album.
YES!!! This and Apostophe and Overnight Sensation
@@Theblackchromatic I listen to all three of those albums frequently.
This is from “Hot Rats” (1969), Zappa’s first solo album.
There are only 6 tracks on the entire record, and they’re all worth checking out!
This has been one of my all time favorite song/albums for decades.
Thanks, fellas!!!
Lumpy Gravy was his first solo album, but to be fair they can be an acquired taste
@@seasnakesam
I dunno. I think there are people who get it instantly and there are people who automatically hate it.
I don't see it as "acquired" taste.
Impossibly funky and progressive classical jazz fusion. Amazing, timeless.
Frank Zappa - octave bass, guitar, percussion
Ian Underwood - keyboards, flute, saxophone, clarinet
Shuggie Otis - bass
Ron Selico - drums
Shuggie Otis was on bass? Had no idea. How cool. Thx.
Not many reactors on RUclips discuss the production especially from a modern perspective when listening to Zappa, I appreciated it and hope for more.
I have concluded that these guys are the BEST reactors of all those I regularly watch on RUclips. They are always thorough, on point and say the smartest things.
Frank was in a category all his own..
Is still! 😊
I used this as the opening theme for my college radio show. 50 years ago. It set the scene then and it sets the scene now!
I love that you guys appreciate Zappa. You are right he is an acquired taste, but if you get it, you get it.❤
Great, great artist.
As a life-long Zappa lover, I can attest that you are correct - NOT everyone is a fan - but those that are, REALLY are! I got to see him twice and they were both completely bananas shows. A truly unique genius! If you want to hear a gorgeous slow-jam, "Watermelon in Easter Hay" will not disappoint. And you'll get a hint of his subversive humor at the top. Great video as always!
I'm 54 and it took me a loooong time to come around on Frank, I'm here for the past decade though, LOVE IT😉
That’s such a beautiful piece of music. But we’ll have to explain the Central Scrutinizer to them. I suggested Uncle Remus, but I can defiantly work with Watermelon in Easter Hay. Peace Brother ❤
@@thomascerulli8013 I would like them to just review every song.On apostrophe
@@klasseact6663They actually almost have. I’m a life long fan. Apostrophe’s one of my all time favorite albums ❤
Dear Klass Act, the ones they’ve missed from Apostrophe are. Cosmic Debris, Excentrifigal Forz, Uncle Remus and Stink Foot. But I’m with you Apostrophe is and always will be my # 1 Zappa Album. He has so many so I’m sure we all have our own. Nice talking to you. Peace ❤
Clarinets and saxes, great percussion and the drumming is exquisite.
Drum level is way out front...so interesting. Very broken rhythm contrasting with the very ridged melodies..
Hot Rats is the second solo album by Frank Zappa, released in October 1969.
Frank Zappa - guitar, octave bass, percussion
Ian Underwood - piano, organus maximus, flute, all clarinets, all saxes
Shuggie Otis - bass
Ron Selico - drums
Producer: Frank Zappa
Director of engineering: Dick Kunc
Engineers: Cliff Goldstein, Jack Hunt, Brian Ingoldsby, Dick Kunc
Arranger: Frank Zappa
Hard to believe this song was recorded 55 years ago. (BTW: Frank used an actual pipe organ on this track. It was recorded at Whitney Studio in Los Angeles that had a pipe organ installed when it was built in 1957.)
Frank was ahead of his time. A genius. Excellent reaction, fellas 😊❤🙏
"A movie for your ears"
A bold point: The Beatles were still around when this was released.
🎼🎶
This track is MAJESTIC!! Zappa was a genius.
Happy Zappa Day La and Che from Ned in Spain. This song has it all and it's played by only 4 musicians, obviously multi tracking, with a rock solid groove to build it on. I love the sound and playing of drummer Ron Selico. It has been one of my favorites for over 50 years, thanks to my particularly hip cousins. BTW the bassist on this is 15 yr old Shuggie Otis, will you do a reaction to his "Inspiration Information" some day ???? Thanks for continuing your fantastic channel fellas.
Yes, Shuggie, and his original recording of "Strawberry Letter #23" which was later a hit for The Brothers Johnson, but his was sublime and definitive.
@@jpmnewyork I love that song and his original is definitely " The One" but the whole Inspiration LP is just beautiful.
Zappa. Has always been in his own lane. Pure musical genius on an industrial scale. There's so much more complexity and beauty in an ugly melody than a straight forward pretty one . Echidna's Arf is another track like this on the 1974 live album Roxy &Elsewhere. But I have wondered what you would think about the track City of tiny lights on the 1979 Sheik Yerbouti album 🤔 all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Great Frank tune! This whole album is awesome.
Joni and Frank on the same day. What a treat!
This Zappa Hole is one of the DEEPEST out there! You could start now and hear something new every day for the next several years! Huge catalog! I think you guys might like the “Joe’s Garage” (containing another beautiful instrumental, “Watermelon in Easter Hay) and “Apostrophe” albums. Just so damn much in the can!!
His son Dweezel toured a few years ago and he played this album in full. Pretty amazing concert, especially that the band played every sound like the record.A few instruments would make you scratch your head. The smallest bass I've ever seen sounding exactly like an upright cello when plucked. No digital trickery.
Have only been to 1 Zappa concert, but I have heard he liked to start his shows off with this tune.
Many high school, music school and jazz bands Cover this tune, and do it very well. Hope you guys got the Zappa CD's I mailed you.
Those opening parts are one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard in music
You guys are starting this week off with a bang with Joni then Frank!!! Great Monday Guys!!!
This whole album is incredible. Never gets old.
Hell yes !!
The nuggets don't escape you fellas! Great!
a multilayer composition del maestro Zappa.
Killer drums
Masterpiece!!
Frank Zappa - octave bass, guitar, percussion
Ian Underwood - keyboards, flute, saxophone, clarinet
Shuggie Otis - bass
Ron Selico - drums
Ian Underwood graduated from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in composition in 1961 and a master's degree in composition at UC Berkeley in 1966.
SO, SO, GOOOD!!!! LOVE this song - one of my FAVS by ZAPPA!!! Also love Moving To Montana, Soon!! :) THIS MAN was GENIUS!!! The MUSIC: SO CREATIVE and FREAKIN' AWESOME!!
Out of my friends I was the only Frank Zappa fan. He was an accuired taste, not very mainstream but loved by those who understood his talent..
I'm with you,...fun AND challenging music..
Frank was a genius. Extraordinarily talented composer, great musician. He was also spot-on with his criticisms concerning politics & many other things. Legend.
Great intro to a superb album. A great vibe
Imagine hearing this for the first time when it came out in 1969..
I did!
Dweezil Zappa and his amazing band did a Grammy Award version of this very song , certainly rearranged , but fantastic live . Anything Dweezil and his band plays are top shelf man .
Zappa Plays Zappa man 👍💕
There’s a live version of this somewhere on RUclips which is fantastic, Frank Zappa and band.

So many big moods in this…the bass is just grooving the whole time
Lots of grooves in there
Should be our new National Anthem!!
The thing to remember when you listen to Zappa is that nothing is improvised. Everything you hear he charted, wrote it in complete control of every note.
Except for Willie the Pimp. That is a straight up jam.
@@t.j.payeur5331 The exception to the rule. Still true, Frank was first and foremost a composer, and he was very hard on his musiciansrs about playing his music as it was written.
I also read Michael, that not only did Zappa NOT do drugd or alcohol, but required SAME by his band. Understood. How could you remember the complexity of his arrangements if you were high as hell. Big props to this GENIUS❗
My favorite Frank Zappa song.
Ive come from your Metallica reaction and got very excited to see you checking out Frank.
My personal favourite is Inca Roads which is another one of his famous tracks, has my absolute favourite guitar solo of all time on the album version
Frank was a genius, and like all geniuses he walked a fine line between craziness & brilliance....loved your reactions guys thanks. BTW this was the first records to be recorded on a prototype 16 track tape machine, combined with Franks overdubbing techniques it was a milestone in recording history too.
You guys would love this whole album.
When the feature band at a concert didn't show up, the opening band played the whole evening and played this song. I was so impressed with them playing this Frank Zappa song and doing a great job that I even forget who the feature band was supposed to be!!
This is a masterpiece!
Genius ❤
The impeccable Henry Lewy engineered every album Joni released in the 1970s. His skill was legendary, and Mitchell possibly couldn't have had a better work partner.
Can't believe you're doing Zappa! Cool! Keep it up...try Dinah Moe Hum next! A LITTLE more mainstream...and for HARD rock, Zomby Woof...
Have to react to this whole album. It's a classic.
Broadway The Hard Way is an absolute album you need to discover guys! 💿💎
I came here after watching Zappa play a bicycle on the Steve Allen Show
What❓❗ That's crazy. I'll have to RUclips that.
@@elisaabolafia9542 ruclips.net/video/QF0PYQ8IOL4/видео.html
Great reaction
"I wanna know how many instruments are on this" - amazingly enough, its just one guy playing all the keyboards and horns and one of Zappa's favorite methods was to manipulate the speed/pitch of just a few horns to make it sound like a bigger ensemble. There's a lot of that going on here
Frank was a real pioneer in recording technology. This is a prime early example of the possibilities of multi tracking, and treating the studio itself as a creative instrument. Other songs on this album are early examples of jazz and rock fusing in ways that kickstarted fusion as a genre. Killer album.
I saw Zappa at some college auditorium in Massachusetts in the early 70s. I went with friends and I hadn't heard much Zappa at the time. But then they played Peaches. It went in through my ears and wrapped itself around my soul. Frank got pissed off and yelled at the crowd for being so quiet, but I understood it. We were just speechless.
You truly need to be a musician to really appreciate Frank.
One of the master composer's best. Fun & cool album cover too. This song used to be my ringtone, been awhile since I've heard the whole thing.
Great reaction to a great track from a great artist's great album. (Comment from Great Britain).
Frank was an amazing man and musician. He was also a trained classical conductor. Cancer took him way to early. He was nothing short of a genius.
Watched 515 pm north west IL. Born '63' . Always loved music...older I get more I like Zappa...have you reacted to Three Dog Night...I believe the 2 of u will enjoy them...enjoying your channel
It would be safe to say that Frank's music had commercial potential to a very niche market
Always my favorite Zappa album!🔥🤘🎶
Son of Mr Green Genes is a whole ass journey you need to go on
You guys would love The Illinois Enema Bandit (Zappa in New York album) 😊 Not only fantastic musically but also a true story!!
Oh cool this is one of my faves also checkout Black Napkins live at MSG 🤘
The companion to In The Court of The Crimson King in 1969. For more prog-jazzy-classical fusion, check out Gentle Giant's The Boys in the Band.
I went to a Dwezzle Zappa Concert, Frank's son; Zappa plays Zappa performed this album complete. Most of the musicians in the band were multi instrumentalists. 🎶✌️🫴🇨🇦
I've been hoping you'd listen to Peaches. I'm writing this comment before I listen and I can't wait to hear what you think.
Guys, Frank always had some of the best drummers in the world in his bands.
check out the names of his drummers.
Dweezil is touring, go check him out!! Going 08/01 in Phoenix. He does small venues, amazing talent on stage❤
They say that listening to Mozart can actually raise the listener's I.Q. ...I kind of think Zappa in general, and pieces like this in particular, can do the same.
A short symphony.
Hot Rats! My favorite Zappa album...thanks guys...
Saw him in 71, the Just Another Band From L.A. tour with some of the Turtles.
Funkfest, Frankfest!
Franks definitely an acquired taste but no one will argue that he wasn’t an absolute musical genius. Great song. So many levels to it
For something different from Frank Zappa listen to his Yellow Shark album. Classical. Pure genius by a mad genius.
My favorite Zappa song is The Grand Wazoo.
Black Sabbath 3 weeks ago jonesing lol
Got to see him on tour (with Flo and Eddie) at the Filmore in SF '70 . They ended the show with some Turtles tunes.
I read somewhere that Lowell George - from Little Feet used to play with Zappa. Can anyone confirm and enlighten me on this? What songs did they do together? Your subscribers are the best!! Love all the info Ive aquired from Airplay Beats channel. Thanks👍🏻
We’ve learned so much from our subscribers. Who needs Wikipedia with a comment section like ours.
You are absolutely right
You either loved zappa or hated him
There was no in between
This album Hot Rats was a banger
Been listening to Frank since the early, early 70's.just listened to Billy the Mountain yesterday.
I think this record was made in the very earliest days of multi tracking.
Guys this album came out in 69. It’s actually an Orchestral piece. And has been played by many orchestra’s in Europe. Frank actually had a much larger following over there. On one of your previous Zappa reactions. Chee compared him to Prince. As far as the levels they both worked on. I had to give that one some thought. And he nailed it. You’re the only reactors I’ve ever seen. That actually hear his music. The way it’s always worked with Frank is you can either hear his music or you don’t. The key to Frank was he wasn’t making music for us. He was making it for himself. My next suggestion is Uncle Remus from the Apostrophe album. As always Peace and continued success ❤
This is going to be my funeral entrance 🤣
I think it was one of the first 16-tracks. This was one of the first jazz-rock fusion albums, along with Bitches Brew I think
Billy the Mountain ☺️
Curtis Mayfield did excellent work which extends the envelope too at that time. But yes Zappa is great
Hot Rats! Yeah! Check out *Willi the Pimp* off the same album. Peaches has always been a favorite of mine. Much innovative and groundbreaking studio techniques.
👍🏻
Do Son of Mr Green genes next.. you already had willie the pimp, Imagine these three tracks in a row on the A-side. Every single time I listen to the vinly I got goosebumps, what an album. Then more epicness on the b-side (gumbo variations).
Glad you guys are finding jazz fuzion, lot's out there and nobody's reacting to it🤷♂️
ARF !!!!!!
