perfect song to trick jazz fans into being confused because the opening sounds almost completely normal and then it slowly starts to deteriorate into the CAPTAIN BEEFHEART sound.
Actually, by the 3rd minute, he's wailing in full Ornette Coleman mode that just get better and better as he continues----that sax solo is a wildly beautiful thing: it's not deteriorating, it's transcending !
.. "What do you run on, Rockette Morton ? .. say beans :)) .. I run on beans.. I run on laser beams ! " No one could play bass on TMR, Decals and SK the way he did.. If you want to hear his masterpiece - listen to Booglarize.. the stutter at the beginning.. when he joins. Simply out of this world.
Wouldn't it have been awesome if the producers of Ant-Man had used this as the theme tune? They could have made the whole film a conceptual retelling of Trout Mask Replica, but as a superhero movie.
He was... as he was on Decals, and on Spotlight Kid.. here he plays a Jazz bass, on SK and Decals a Gibson T-bird.. sometimes he played bass with metal fingerpicks on 3 or 4 fingers... imagine that - just crazy :) !! - the one and only - Mark Boston 😎
"Don’s drum ideas were sometimes amazing. Ant-Man-Bee, for example, has one of the cleverest beats I’ve heard in my life." Johm "Drumbo" French in an interview with LeftLion.
This and “Dali’s Car” are the ones I return to decade after decade. Still so astonishing for its time. Some of the woodwind desecrations foreshadow The Residents. His mind was irrepressible in this period.
No magic (band) without Drumbo. Just his drumming is worth listening to TMR. And to think of - he put it all together, the real musical director.. he played guitar too, so I believe he showed boys how to get it right..

I love the sound of frantic, angry and impatient traffic that's created. Get out of my way! Me first! There's too many of us trying to go somewhere we're not!
Jeff Cotton dialed in one of my favorite guitar tones (in the right speaker) for this album, and this track really lets it shine. Interviews reveal that he played "a Gibson" through "any amplifier that the band could provide, but I can't even remember a specific amp." So much for hunting down gear to get that TMR sound.
Jeff played a mid-60s ES-125TDC. Same guitar Ribot used until recently. TMR sessions were played through early solid-state Acoustic amplifiers own by Zappa. Probably the same ones seen in the '68 Mothers in London video.
@@andrewpearson1903 Yes, it did. I own the same guitar but w/ single neck pickup (ES-125TC). It has a warm tone through a tube amp. Bill's Telecaster is very brittle, spikey tone.
For some reason, this is probably my favorite of TMR.. but theres Ella Guru.... Sweet bulbs.. How can anyone not know how groundbreaking stuff this was.. and is

He actually plays tenor and soprano sax at the same time in this song, he only ever had 2 lessons from Jeff cotton on the saxophone and was still able to do this.
You don't have to he that good? He was a musical genius beyond the comprehension of most mortals. He almost killed his whole band in yhe making of this album. Those guys could play this shit exactly the same in their sleep when he was done with them. You listen to the album and then see them in concert....note for note precise. This album is pure perfection.
@@PIPEHEAD The "band" without Don called themselves Mallard. You likely never heard them.. it was an absolute POS. So, yeah..... not Don 😂.... so, better go spread your bile elsewhere, grasshopper
i can't believe i'm still listening to this album, i don't even know what i think of it because i'm too busy trying to get a grip on what is going on and i listen to the stooges and the velvet underground
That's exactly how my obsession with this album began. Purely trying to understand it, but as you listen, you catch more of the patterns and grooves, and it hooks you for life.
The human brain has,t evolved to the point where it can mentally process the Captains music. That's why you can't decide if its brilliant or it's shit. in the future Trout Mask Replica will be elevator music

Sometimes Trout Mask Replica is the only thing that still makes sense in this world.
Scary, but probably true
they where truly unafraid.
True, in a world when many folks don't even know the difference between men and women.......

this album inspires me to be my true authentic self
Yep. That's it.
Really surprised this doesn't have more views. Definitely one of the best songs on the entire album
I don't know if lot of people know about captain
Beefhart? I have almost 50 years
Totally agree with you! I'd say people have hard time to discover TMR is because they need more patience!

Ironically, this whole album got me into jazz lol
Sinatra’s favorite Beefheart song. True story.
The bassist is just in his own groove, it's perfect
.. "What do you run on, Rockette Morton ? .. say beans :)) .. I run on beans.. I run on laser beams ! "
No one could play bass on TMR, Decals and SK the way he did..
If you want to hear his masterpiece - listen to Booglarize.. the stutter at the beginning.. when he joins. Simply out of this world.
We can't let this branch of humanity die out, I'd love it to be played in department stores ..
Are you trying to kill the economy??
@@slide4180 only neoliberalism *wink*
Well, this album was added to the Library of Congress. It’s immortalized.
NO WAY, you got anything I can read/see about it
No...........lifts.......English...........or poxy phone lines where you wait for hours.............limitless...........!.................
Solo section starts out with Beefheart playing two saxes at the same time.
Ive read he couldn't play. He knew exactly what he was doing!
The second half of this song is peak Beefheart. Evocative like no other
Avant-garde masterpiece
Wouldn't it have been awesome if the producers of Ant-Man had used this as the theme tune? They could have made the whole film a conceptual retelling of Trout Mask Replica, but as a superhero movie.
Maybe you can just do an album sync with the movie.
Ella Guru.
That's probably why they fired Edgar Wright.
That would work. Crash and burn cult film.
This is probably one of the most inspired comments I have seen on RUclips.
The bass player was on top of his shit on this session!
He was... as he was on Decals, and on Spotlight Kid.. here he plays a Jazz bass, on SK and Decals a Gibson T-bird.. sometimes he played bass with metal fingerpicks on 3 or 4 fingers...
imagine that - just crazy :) !! - the one and only - Mark Boston 😎
It was actually all recorded in one session in one day within a few hours. According to Jeff cotton they rarely had to do two takes for one song
You can definitely hear his roots in the blues shine through here.
Slhould be played in every dentist/doctors office, elevators and shopping malls worldwide.

Just love the way he makes the sax sound like a foghorn. And stunning playing from the band, especially John French on drums

It's that one lump of sugar, that they won't leave each other alone

This is definitely the jammiest song on the album, that last section could just run forever and ever
one of the Highest Levels of music right here
Sometimes i think Captain is the greatest genius of rock
I love the guitar tone on this album so much. It sounds like it got dumped, mugged and shat its pants all on the same day.

@@josephtravers777 A solid state amp may have helped him get that slightly crunchy sound, very crisp-sounding for a guitar with P-90s. Thank you

According to his interview with Sam Andreyev ~55 minutes, John Drumbo says he transcribed Coltrane's solo to "Afro Blue" and played it over this.
Very profound lyrics. Listen and learn about the hive mind.

Samuel Andreyev shared a great interview on his channel with John French (Drumbo) well worth the time.
Bertin van Vliet yes saw that, really good, Gunna watch it again! wait, ..any relation?
I'm sorry I don't know shit but I obtained Trout Mask Replica about 40 years ago. You gotta have heart.
Don and Frank were forces to be reckoned with. Finest example of artistic integrity.
Mentioning Don and Frank in one sentence is an insult to Don.

you got that right buddy. I tried to play trout mask for my 12 yo grandaughter, after 5 seconds she plugged her ears and hit pause.
Pinetar well ain’t that a shame
I think there should be all kinds of music, even Taylor Swift we don't want a dictatorship ..cannot go back to you're frownland
This song shows how you don't have to be that good to make good music. That dirty sax solo is better than most professionals
if you're not proficient in your technique how can you play something like that?

He actually plays tenor and soprano sax at the same time in this song, he only ever had 2 lessons from Jeff cotton on the saxophone and was still able to do this.

I would define this as Beefhearts only straight jazz rooted song on the album with rock and blues overtones.
This is so bulbous
I think Beefheart is God? idk
I love the dissonance
ironic lol
TMR is the album which would be produced by a kindergarten full of adults who were being exposed to their first music lesson.
Listen to Veteran's Day Poppy, it's pretty conventional
