Wow, how another of his prophetic comments on the future of rock n roll (1:25) being beer and soft drink companies setting up there own concert divisions and build the entertainment from scratch for total control. Look what's happened to the music industry.
you really cant brag about not being under commercial constraints and then complain commercial outlets don't carry your record. are you a businessman or artist? pick one.
Goddamn I hate these late interviews when you see Frank swallowing deep as you know it is his cancer breaking him. RIP to the last great composer.
Agreed, aging is a bitch! I hate to see him so drawn and tired out from his condition, but every minute is golden...
I like Frank's frankness
I would love to see the rest of this episode.
Zappa was a so good and so big,thanks for your music...
"None weirder than this man. I am, of course, talking about.....myself."
Holy shit!..Frank predicted coke studio..Truly masterful.
omly85 I
Or coke heard his idea and thought "yea, that IS a great idea" XD
Great series of short interviews you've been posting lately. Many thanks!
Great stuff. Haven't seen this for years. Am looking for complete 'Raw Power' episodes from 1991/2 if anyone can help!
What was so "weird "about Frank Zappa?
Do you have this whole episode on tape?
Usual dopey media describing Zappa as weird. Intelligent would be a better moniker.
I've just realised something. In that clip of Stevie's Spanking, Vai is playing Hendrix's guitar from Miami!
It's actually his "sticker" Strat. Check the Vai Zappa duel from Rome here on youtube.
It's actually Steve's so-called "Sticker Strat." I think ony Adrian Belew played the Hendrix Strat besides Zappa himself.
Actually, Frank seems like he kind of feels okay in this.
He's turning in his grave over the capitulation to commercialism in the industry
punkys whips vs ms pinky
Because it has "Hell" in the title.
popeye wasnt on the cover. Fuck you go watch the strawberries music store manager interview.
