Nice to know the youngsters are catching on. Sy Borg is hillarious and has the best keyboard sonix i ever heard. listen to the whole album JOES GARAGE to get the songs full context... Enjoy! 😎
In Zappa's universe, anything goes. He'd use any genre and combine them in any way he'd see fit. He also loved to troll people, even his fans, pushing boundries, waking minds to, what he called, alternate entertainment. He was a virtual smorgasbord of musical excellence.
This song makes a lot more sense when you listen to the whole album, there is a whole over arching story with plot twists, heart break, and great revelations you should check it out.
One other thing, Frank's son Dweezle tried keeping it going through a band called Zappa plays Zappa but unfortunately his siblings hit him with a cease and desist order after suing him for copy right infringement since they all owned portions of the estate.
You have to listen to both albums to get the meaning of the madness. It is a comical send up of government policies and how government agencies are seeking to gain more and more control of our lives. Even our sexual appetites are fair game to them and providing access to sexual fulfillment gives government an avenue through which they may control the things we think, do and say. The entire Joe's Garage set was recorded during the period when congress was debating whether or not banning certain albums because of x rated content should become a government policy. Frank appeared before congress and argued very eloquently that what the government was attempting to do would amount to censorship and would violate free speech laws protected by the Constitution. His testimony by all those who heard it was comparable to that of a seasoned Constitutional lawyer. In the end congress chose to provide warning labels on objectionable albums instead of banning them.
Frank Zappa is about freedom of speech. In today's world I see our freedom of speech has been taken away from 50% of US citizens. We need someone to challange for our freedom of speech today, as Frank did then
Get to the singing during one of greatest keyboard solos of all time? Incredible song,but this reaction just instantly became garbage when I heard that....Peter Wolf is a God just like Zappa...
I watched - Joe's Garage is a Rock Opera a bit like The Who's "Tommy" and like "Tommy" it's weird as f. Honestly I dont hate it because at least the weirdness has some sort of meaning in service of the overall plot of the Rock Opera. If I remember correctly all the guitar solos are actually re-purposed from older Zappa songs. See I can say nice things about his stuff. It's the stuff thats just crass for the sake of it that disappoints me because the guy was way more talented than stuff like the Stinky Foot song. I'll never agree it would work mainstream ith todays generation because it's inherently designed NOT to work for the majority of people.
dude, basically Zappa's kids control the music and are REMASTERING ALL OF IT. check it out. buuuuut yes. they NEED to focus on selling this shit to younger audiences. cause when the old folks all are gone wtf is gonna happen?

Your absolutely right about Frank he was way ahead of his time... a genius in fact, thanks for this great reaction.
Simply the best concept album ever. Ah.. what music can do to you in a world where music is so generic.. the shame of it.
In Zappa's universe, anything goes. He'd use any genre and combine them in any way he'd see fit. He also loved to troll people, even his fans, pushing boundries, waking minds to, what he called, alternate entertainment. He was a virtual smorgasbord of musical excellence.
Love your vibe, and always down for a FZ reaction. Thanks for keeping him alive
If it weren't for Frank Zappa, ...there would be no Frank Zappa!
Frankus
Goodus Zappus
One of my favourite albums.
it come out late 70's and he is projecting into the future of what they planned for us all.

Frank Zappa was so delightfully weird.

when has freedom of speech been taken away? 😂😂 wtf are you talking about
Ike Willis needs a mention here for his amazing vocals. Superb characterization.
Some of the best drumming and synth playing on any Zappa record ever recorded
This song needs context you must listen to the whole album
Sy-borg...gimme dat, gimme dat Sy-borg. ❤
nice to see some smart young kid listening to some smart old music
"The Closet" here we come!
You really need to listen to the songs before to really understand what is going on, or preferably the whole album!
Of all the songs I've ever heard, this is one of them !
Want a really good Zappa tune to react? Try the song not on any studio album but only live, called _Nig Biz_
It was a model XQJ37 nuclear-powered transsexual auto plooker !

React to Azealia Banks 1991
