    Zappa has released some 113 albums and was probably the most important composer of our time. He wrote rock, orchestrated music, electronic, punk, funk, jazz, instrumental, etc. This song is not representative of the true Frank. Try RDNZL, Inca Roads, Pygmy Twylyte, Village of the Sun, Echidna's Arf (of You) and Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?

    Zappa is a musician who will totally amaze you. He is a satirist, social commentator, musical genius, prolific guitarist, button pusher, and generally a fun person. His band is about as good as you will find in modern rock; and as a musician, you will simply be left speechless as to their ability to play and improvise. This song is simply a shake tree type of song to see who he might offend off the Sheik Yer Boti album. Don't give up on him yet, you will come to really appreciate his music and genius in time. A good next piece is the live version of Inca Roads, with George Duke, Ruth Underwood, Chester Thompson, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Dave Fowler doing their thing........ as a drummer, you'll appreciate the pocket groove during the solo and the technical playing othertimes

    He's very smart. You should see him slamming Congress when they were trying to censor music, to their faces, by invitation. He's so sarcastic you can miss the real snark in his commentary. There's this connection between stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and rap music. Punk pushed into that zone some. Zappa was an early pioneer in finding that connection and super creative. Joe's Garage, is a hoot of an album, heavy commentary on the music industry and society, in a weird-ass yet cliché story. But he was also a musical scholar and jam session musician. And a weirdo and a freak. There's a wavelength there, and a vibe, but they usually clash. It's just Zappa, man.

  • @swirll360
    @swirll360 3 года назад +14

    Chod, I agree with other's who say this was NOT the first Zappa song ANYONE should start with. It's the equivalent of starting a book in the middle of the story and making a judgment of the quality of the story without knowing how the characters got there or how it will finish. Chod, I suggest you listen to "The Ocean is the Ultimate Solution" from the album "Sleep Dirt", it's all instrumental with Terry Bozzio on drums and Frank with an absolute killer guitar solo for about 6 minutes to end the piece. People perceive Zappa completely wrong, including myself until I heard this song because of his often silly and dry lyrics, they often overshadow the genius in the compositions. Zappa was the Mozart of contemporary music. He composed most of his music like classical composers do and that's also hard to wrap anyone's head around on 1 listen. So Chod Please listen to this song and then tell us what you think..

I like Deep Purple and Journey...but NO BAND EVER had what ZEPPELIN had. Four of the very very very best musicians all in sync with each other. If God ever touched a performer ...in Rock n Roll he touched Zappa Beck ZEPPELIN. But in ZAPPAS case ..God kissed I'm on the lips. My favorite Guitarists...composers ..creators...songwriters....Zappa....Jimmy Page ...Jeff Beck. No one could touch anyone of them. No one else had their skills.

    Just a fun fact. Frank had his own record label, and discovered the Alice Cooper (band). They did two albums on his label, which led them to be taken seriously, and signed to Warner Brothers records where they recorded their breakout album Love it to death. You reacted to Ballad of Dwight Frye from that album. Their breakout song, and one of their biggest hits from it was Eighteen.

    I can speak objectively because I’m not a fan, but I own 3 albums and I admire the guy. Zappa is a musical genius, there is no question about it. What I like about his is that he doesn’t take himself seriously. He is like the smart guy in class who just goofs off all the time. This song has no signs of genius in it. It’s a throwaway pop song that somehow became popular because of the vulgar lyrics. If you want to climpse his genius, check out his live performance of “Inca Roads” from the 70s. If you watch that, you will get why he is considered a genius.

    Is this really your first Zappa song? This is probably my least favourite song of his ever. It does represent one aspect of his output, but it's a really terrible introduction to him. It is true that his lyrics are often kind of jokey or satirical, but he was deadly serious about the music, an extremely talented composer and astonishing guitarist. _Peaches En Regalia, Inca Roads, San Be'rdino,_ and the heartbreaking _Watermelon in Easter Hay_ are all good examples of different facets of his music.

    If you draw a line under Frank after hearing this then you're going to miss out on some wonderful music. The word genius is bandied about on these reaction channels but in Zappa's case he really was a genius. As others have already suggested, his musical ambition is un-matched, his ability to deliver that ambition, one of the wonders of the world of music. The musicians who work with him are of the very highest calibre. Frank was a composer, multi instrumentalist, guitarist extraordinaire, satirist and social commentator. He, and his 'teenage' friend known as Captain Beefheart are responsible for some of the most fascinating, creative and yes, sometimes 'challenging' music ever to be recorded. There ain't nothing quite like it.

    Zappa never did two songs the same. He composed an orchestral piece called The Yellow Shark which when first performed received a standing ovation. This was a classical music concert. I once saw a list of people who claimed he influenced, the list was several pages long and had composers from all styles of music, from opera to punk. Despite his appearance he never did drugs except for tobacco.

      Rather 'Cosmik Debrie' and also 'Don't eat the yellow snow suite' , great Zappa tunes and his guitar playing!

    It's a work of genius. I've been astonished by some of the reactions - people just don't get it. It's a satirical masterwork: he's mercilessly mocking the aggressively stupid, narcissistic and misogynistic 'college jock' who's protesting too much, as the saying goes, thus revealing he's gay - something he can't come to terms with.
    It's pretty obvious.

    Zappa started to write classical orchestrated music as a teenager already. A glimpse into his later work in that area would be Outrage at Valdez - ruclips.net/video/Ewpkx95GB_s/видео.html . As far as Booby brown goes down is concerned : it is funny on the surface, but contains some heavy criticism on US society. Check out closely the 1st 2 verses ...

    Zappa filled his music with his political views, social commentary and humor. He was a strong advocate of freedom of speech and pushed the envelope. He was also a genius composer. This tune isn't the one I'd have chosen to demonstrate his compositional skills. Try, " Son of Mr. Green jeans ", or ," The Black Page ".

    This is a great and really fun song but is absolutely the wrong song to introduce Frank to you. As you have heard by now that FZ is one of the truly musical geniuses of the 20th century. He was a remarkable composer and a genius with the guitar. I would suggest that you start out with some instrumental numbers. Maybe Black Napkins or Watermelon in Easter Hay.

    Genius is definitely his middle name. His arrangements and compositions and even his playing is top notch. Unfortunately the lyrics he wrote took away drom his music being maunstrwam popular. But yes, us thixk skinned kids of the 70's definitely soaked it all in.

    In my opinion, his best work is instrumental works from 1969 and 1970. Songs to listen to are Peaches En Regalia, Abe Sea, Holiday in Berlin and others from the albums Hot Rats, Burnt Weany Sandwich, Uncle Meat.

    PLEASE don't let this song affect your opinion of Zappa! Yes, he does use odd lyrics, but he is brilliant!
    You being a percussionist? I don't want you to react to this, just listen to what he could do.
    This is Ruth Underwood, one of his percussionists explaining what Frank was capable of. And you'll hear some DAMN hard music to even consider playing. This is her 20 years later explaining how Frank figured out how to make a marimba and vibraphone electric so it could go on the road! ☺

    Frank Zappa has also had some really great players in his band. Such as Steve Vai on guitar and Terry Bozzio who has played drums for Jeff Beck.....just to name a few. I hope you'll give him another listen. I think when one muscian does a negative song or makes a negative statement about another musician, it's never a good idea.

  • @larryg7126

    Lol this was not a good song to start with, he was a genius who poked holes in every trend. His catalog is deep and wide with bands that were top notch. The musicians that went thru his bands were legendary, Lowell George & Roy Estrada (Little Feat), Steve Vai (solo), drummer Aynsley Dunbar, jazz keyboardist George Duke, jazz violinist Jon Luc Ponty, Chester Thompson (drums), Terry Bozzio (drummer), and on and on.

    This song was hugely popular in Europe when it came out, but that's besides the point. This is not a good first song to be introduced to Zappa with. I like your reaction tho. You should try another one. FZ was a genius, prolific beyond description, the best composer of the 20th century, and a genre of his own. It's worth discovering!

    If you want a true sense of what Frank could do in the pop form compare this with Watermelon in Easter Hay which he wrote for son. You'd wonder whether they were the same guy.
    BTW, just listen to the music on this tune. Dump the lyric. The background singers in particular. A wonderful homage to the doo wop style. To put it all in perspective, Frank is probably one of the preeminent composers of the 20th Century. This song in particular illustrates what happens when Frank gives totally free rein to his irreverent sense of humor. And no, to be sure, Frank didn't give a fuk what anyone said about him or his music.

    Frank was a cynical guy and wrote about Life, wrote songs about things that happened to him or other people, really wrote songs about things that happen. The one lyric in this song "Here I am at a famous school, I'm dressing sharp and im acting cool, Got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper, let her do all the work and maybe I'll rape her" pokes digs at over entitled Rich (and mostly white) sons of Powerful men like say senators for instance that think they can do whatever they want without consequence, shit happens all the time. If there something out there happening in the world Frank will write a song about it. And then sometimes he will just write total fun nonsense as well! I've been a fan for over 30 years and still have not heard it all. A lot, but not everything. Frank is a SELF TAUGHT musician who NEVER.....NEVER did drugs. He said he smoked weed twice early in his life and said "Fuck This, shit makes me sleepy" Frank was VERY anti drugs, which a lot of people can't believe cause his music is so nutty. Lol.

    If you never heard Zappa, Bobby Brown is not a valid entry point. It's a joke song, that I enjoyed at first listen, some forty years ago or so. But I'd already known him off of other tracks. And like you said, its not something to keep going back to. Frank Zappa is a great American composer who in his lifetime was mostly erroneously packaged as a rock star. He was definitely more respected and taken more seriously in Europe. I strongly suggest you listen to more compositional tracks like Big Swifty, It Must Be A Camel, Don't You Ever Wash That Thing? and RDNZL. As you might have noticed by now, Zappa finds calling stuff Opus plus a number quite boring, so he makes up these very peculiar, silly or sometimes suggestive names. There are also an assortment of recordings where the focus is all on the guitar work, be it shredding or romanticizing. There are so many different facets of his work that it might be a disservice to try to categorize it all here. Start with these suggestions. Three of his more beloved jazz/rock albums are Apostrophe('), Roxy And Elsewhere, and One Size Fits All. Definitely explore more of Frank Zappa. Thank you for giving it a listen.
