The tune, the tone, the phrasing! Who else could write something like this? After listening this guitar work, could there be any doubt about Frank's greatness on the guitar?
Having people to listen your favorite music with is a surplus joy. Thank you, John! A favorite guitar work not only to me and all you here but also to Frank, as I've heard him say.
Lol first time watching you. You must be new to Zappa, "The mix and audio are so well done." Zappa was quietly among the best producers of his time, signing the likes of Alice n chains and many more onto his record label "bizarre records" which I know you'd appreciate as a jojo's fan from the art in your room lol
I truly see the joy in your face, as you listen to the music of my era. This song reminded me, of my brother putting a cigarette butt behind his ear, for later. Filthy habits!
A little controversy....Basically, the three albums, "Studio Tan", "Sleep Dirt", & "Orchestral Favorites".were inteded by Frank to be a 4 album set. Warner Bros. went and released them as individual albums with their own art work without Zappa's consent. Hence a lawsuit and dumping WB> In the late 1970s Zappa was pressurized by Warners to fulfill his contract in providing albums. Much acrimony followed, with him providing 4 works that he had envisaged as a set. A severance with the label followed, resulting in the albums being released individually and with art also commissioned by them. The first was "Zappa In New York" issued in 1977 but then withdrawn, censored & reissued in 1978. The following three were "Studio Tan", "Sleep Dirt", & "Orchestral Favorites". Subsequently, under Zappa's control, the project was released in 1996 as "Läther" - a typically Zappa-esque play on the phonetics of creamy 'lather' and the Germanic 'leather', following the 'leather' conceptual continuity. Four additional tracks were added to the 1996 issues, but these are deleted on the 2012 reissue.
Zappa Prime era = Mid 75 - early 78! Everything musically, with the proper drummer, and no style left out, even Metal. Everything after mid 78 was simply a variation of what frank performed and recorded from mid 75- early 78. Even the original shut up and play your guitar recordings,76-early 78, well before Vinnie colaiuta was even auditioned.
Frank was an advocate of polyrhythms (sometimes he'd even have various band members playing in two or three different time signatures) and the unpleasant or, as he called them, alternate sounds. He was so often messing with percussion, rhythm, time signatures, you name it. This piece was a bit of a knock to the jazz set of the time. He had at it from a perspective that only Zappa could employ.
Correct.The main reason Vinnie Colaiuta was a flop for Frank,Mid 78. Too many polyrhythms already in franks music. Didn't need a confused young raw jazz drummer, sloppy Colai, to further damage the off te chart rhythms, by adding more polyrhythms. More was certainly less,with Colaiuta.. Bozzio was the perfect fit.
Ignoring personal opinions about drummers, this video and comment had nothing to do with him, and yet here you are going off. This is mostly showing you have some deep personal problem going on.
@@shipahoy8832 I've been a Zappa fan since 1980 and have read up on and seen a out every interview possible and never once read the Vinnie was a flop. He didn't prevent Frank's rise. That's the most ridiculous things I've ever read.
Ist das Heavy Metal Jazz? 😁 Du kannst das Stück mindestens 3 mal anhören. Beim ersten Mal analysierst du die Sounds und stellst fest, wie hervorragend sie sind. Beim zweiten Mal analysierst du die Musiker und stellst fest wie unglaublich gut sie sind. Beim dritten Mal vergisst du das alles und lässt dich unterhalten beziehungsweise in diese von Zappa gewollte Stimmung versetzen. 🇩🇪
Always nice to see your Zappa reactions.👍 This one is one of my favourites. Two other, totally different but so Very Zappa, ”guitar solo” favourites: Transylvanian Boggie Sleep Dirt As I said Totally different but you can’t miss that it’s unmisstakeble Mr. Zappa
Transylvanian Boogie rules. Have you seen the Warren Cuccurullo youtube video of him playing it in a store? The first version I heard of Filthy Habits was some live version. This version's intro frightens me as well. Good reaction, Slop.
Sleep dirt is what you rub out of the corners of your eyes when you wake up in the morning.

Frank the tone master, playing backwards and forwards. True art in music. Thanks for the continued Zappa reactions.
personnel is Bozzio on drums, Dave Parlato on bass, Frank Zappa on everything else
Having people to listen your favorite music with is a surplus joy. Thank you, John! A favorite guitar work not only to me and all you here but also to Frank, as I've heard him say.
Terry Bozzio on drums, Dave Paralta on bass, FZ plays 5 guitar tracks and keyboards
One of my favorite pieces by him. So much control. It's like a modern classical piece.
Shit ugly zappa changed the World of boring assholes 🤣
Feedback control is amazing! 😮
Play the last song "the ocean is the ultimate solution"
Bozzio makes the main groove cook in 5/4...

I thought when it came out that some of this sounds like the middle guitar solo of
1983 on Electric Ladyland. (Hendrix)
Frank was the first amongst musicians to adopt these new technologies like the wah wah pedal. Hendrix even came to Zappa asking him to write for him.

SLEEP DIRT RULES...!
Your CAT couldn't handle it, wild scarry blues based piece.
I wish Terry Bozzio and Dave Parlato played a lot more together.. They gel amazingly and Dave's tone is always great.

Zappa. King of Dissonance...
If one of your digital music files gets corrupted you may discover a new Frank Zappa song
Shit ugly zappa was garbage

OMG what in the world is your obsession with Colaiuta?!? Hahah.
@@hackbod A bad choice. A mistake.Screwed Franks rise.

Frank would tweak an EQ to harmonize the feedback at specific frequencies....
Fire and Chains from Make a Jazz Noise Here
FZ's guitar feedback masterpiece
It’s in 5 time, which can some times create a rhythmic dissonance if you’re expecting the usual 4/4.
pls do 'Lucille" by Zappa, you'll be amazed by how beautiful it is
You should hear the 1988 band do this. one version is released on YCDTOSA Vol. 4
Always nice to see your Zappa reactions.👍
This one is one of my favourites. Two other, totally different but so Very Zappa, ”guitar solo” favourites:
Transylvanian Boggie
Sleep Dirt

@@rorshakks For sure & it’s really good.👍
Shit ugly zappa looked like a bum at the end 🤣
I consider this "textural " guitar playing
Yea zappa was filth
@@marlon-jl4ge why do you love watching John listening to Frank so much 🤣
He was an insult to other composers
Great song fz bozziio on drims
One of my favorite pieces since the day it was released.
