GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!! OMG you guys, this was the best! Glad you enjoyed this taste of Frank, I loved all of the giggling. Frank was a genius guitarist & composer. He had an incredibly talented band called the Mothers of Invention & they really are hard to define by a genre. Brilliantly intricate compositions with ridiculous off color lyrics, his catalog is vast but I like his 70s works the most. And yes Hollywood, that's Frank's deep ass voice haha there are a couple more songs I think you'd really enjoy, he does mellow, he does chonky, he does instrumental. This was just the tip, so get out that Dragon Lotion & ease on in! Thank you SO much for what you guys do ❤(As Frank also says, keep it greasey...so it goes down easaaay! Hahaha 😁🤘)
If you're looking to explore, may I recommend COSMIK DEBRIS, DINAH MOE HUM, MONTANA, I'M THE SLIME, WONDERFUL WINO, SAN BER'DINO, THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS, BROKEN HEARTS ARE FOR ASSHOLES, KEEP IT GREASEY and the classic WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN I PEE. Instrumentals Peaches En Regalia, Black Napkins & Watermelon in Easter Hay are also top notch!
If you guys don't spend a few days studying frank,, you are cheating yourself. Frank Zappa is one of the best stories I musical history. How he operated,and his relationship to musicians,,is like nobody else ever was, or will be again.
Zappa was a virtuoso guitar player and brilliant composer, who took almost nothing in life seriously. You guys asked about his band a couple times: his backing band was the Mothers of Invention. The lineup rotated over the years, but Zappa always stocked it with incredible talent (Steve Vai, Terry Bozzio, etc...). I really hope to see you guys react to more of his stuff!
You call yourselves rappers? OK, then you absolutely need to listen to the song Trouble Every Day from Zappa's first album Freak Out! I believe it might be the first song that delivers the lyrics in a rap-style, not to mention the biting words that ring as a true today as they did back in 1965! Little fact you should know about Dirty Love, Tina Turner was doing background vocals. Things to know: His band was the Mothers of Invention, but there were different groupings of musicians in it from the 60s to the 70s when he just toured as Frank Zappa He composed all the music, and played guitar, and when he played live solos, they were ALWAYS improvised during the show. He fits no genre, but had said that Johnny 'Guitar' Watson was the main inspiration for his style of guitar, though he expanded his mastery of the instrument far beyond Blues and R&B Thanks for trying him out, and what you played is the kind of stuff that thumbs its nose at the PC crowd, down and dirty is so much more fun. Hope you cue him up again soon! PK
The name of his original band was frank Zappa and the mothers of invention 1967. He put out 44 albums of various types, a double album of his classical works with the London symphony orchestra,
Frank was more than just a musician, he was basically a philosopher. No matter what it was, Zappa never let anyone tell him what to do and he seemed to have an opinion on everything. The more reactions to Zappa, the better. His discography covers basically every genre and jumps across the whole spectrum from insane classical pieces to entire albums that tell horribly filthy stories about prison gangs, having sex with kitchen appliances, and catholic schoolgirls. He was insane and a genius all at once.
Frank Zappa was an avante-garde rock musician. He hopped between genres like it was nothin'. If you really wanna get a taste of his live self, look into the live performances of "Cosmic Debris", and "Montana" that are on YT. He composed and conducted everything on his records, as well as being an amazing shred maestro. Oh, and he may have looked strange, but he got mad groupies.
Have not hit play yet. I am so freaking excited that you are reacting to Zappa. Please stick with it because it is a long journey. This man might be the most important composer of the 20th century. His solos will flat out make you weep. No one does it like Zappa. Completely Unique.
It's the other way around, Clinton is inspired by Frank.................."Every Black musician should listen to Frank Zappa !" -------------------------George Clinton
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention! Remember the song from Deep Purple, "Smoke on the water"? There is a line that says, "Frank Zappa and the Mothers had the best place around until some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground!".
ALL, AND I MEAN ALL OF YOU RAPPERS SHOULD GIVE HOMAGE TO FRANK FOR YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. CHECK OUT FRANK @ THE CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS FOR CENSORSHIP IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Frank was many things as an artist. He did it all - avant garde, orchestral, rock, jazz, fusion, funk, rap, movies, composition, production, you name it. To the point that he became his own genre. Since you guys are rappers, check out dumb all over, released in 1981. Frank was rapping before people called it rap!
There was a party going on at one point in my youth. I was outside on a chair with a cd player next to me with this in it. I refused to go inside or interact with anyone unless they came out and sat next to me. It was this album. No regrets at all. I needed to hear this on repeat. And, in my mind, they needed to hear it too. This was more important. Introversion + Zappa =few friends ....but the ones that last...yes!
Bad Bad Bad! No No Never compare ABBA to Zappa. ABBA pure & clean. Zappa never never take him home to your family. He said he would never do anything that could be played on public radio. He is truly a MASTER!.
Zappa goes back to the mid-late 60's listen to "trouble every day". He had many people with him some for decades, including Volman and Kaylyn from the Turtles, made the first rock video "200 motels". Worked for recording artists right. fought against censorship from rightwing dipshits. raised a nice bunch of kids and loved his wife (among others)
You should check out his song "Montana" or "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow", his songs are a bit strange, but then he'll melt your face with his guitar playing....such a musical genius!
YES YES YES!!!!! I love me some Zappa. He was one of a kind!! Danny Carey is a big fan of Zappa too. Baby snakes is another good one and Peaches en Regalia and Catholic Girls. That's Zappa on that nasty guitar too. Great reaction guys
If you liked that ZAPPA song , wait until you hear Dynamo Hum !! And yes , Frank Zappa does play the guitar , or I should say Frank rips that guitar . Play more please!!!
i can't recall Zappa mentioning Parliament in an interview and am not familiar enough with Parliament to know if Zappa quoted them musically however Parliament has quoted Zappa musically in concert. they have played the main riff from "I'm the Slime."
Frank Zappa was a musical genius he started in the mid to late 60s and played till he died. He was a composer and a guitarist hundreds of musicians played with him throughout the years I played with him in 94 the song smoke on the water by deep purple was written about him. I can answer all your questions about him
Frank Zappa was a true original American musical writer and conductor. His first recording band was called "The Mothers of Invention." Study the Zapster and learn. Check out "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" Learn from yer elders. BTW... the nugout, peanut butter confection was called "Abba-Zabba." Peace on earth.
DUUUDE I'VE BEEN REQUESTING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! Check out the songs Trouble Every Day and I'm The Slime. Willie The Pimp is bangin, too
@@bettyrocker_Lia I LOVE me some Zappa. I saw Dweezil play Hots Rats in it's entirety....amazing. I grew up around Zappa. My uncle is a drummer and really into him, so I can recall seeing that mustache and soul patch since I was 6. Once I got old enough, I dived right in. After listening to Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Tool....I was ready for Zappa 😂
@@rorydevice3366 SO cool! Yes, I've seen Dweezil nearly every time he's been in Pittsburgh, even the small little clubs. Also Project Object has former Mothers of Invention band members, they absolutely rock Frank's stuff.
Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention did not use studio musicians because Zappa had a state of the art 16 track digital tape studio in his basement in So Cal in 1979. He didn't need the record companies anymore.😊 And yes! Primus is like Zappa. Brilliant and unique!
Why hasn't the algorithm coughed this up before now......geez? You guys were thinking of "Zappa plays Zappa" , his son Dweezel. And I see your mimicking the double letters ala " ABBA. Funny, you said it makes you think of "Charleston Chew" candy bars for some reason, why?... because the candy bar " Abba Zabba' was just like Charleston Chew!
He made musical Charicatures of the music at the time his albums were produced His first full album was titled Freak Out ! The song you heard was off the album Over-Nite Sensation. It was the first LP i ever bought It was 1974
Frank Zappa cannot fit in any genre. He was unique. He played guitar and other instruments too. He did the lead vocals in this song, and the really deep vocals were him at a deeper pitch.
the second you think you have Zappa figured out....think again! the man was a genius! That album The Mothers "Overnite Sensation" is one of my all time favourite albums. Frank is an incredible Guitar player and composer. he was definitely a one off!
Frank zappa had a band called the mothers of invention ... he also has studio musicians but frank and George came on the scene around the same time ... they're jazz blues fusion funk .... with a bit of rock n roll ... frank is the lead guitar in his band ..
I'm late to the party here, but this was recorded at Ike Turner's studio, and Tina Turner was one of the background singers. Frank was singing in his normal voice at the beginning, and the deep bass was frequency shifted. Frank had two film soundtracks to his credit before having a band, both for "C" movies at best: Run home Slow and The Worlds's Greatest Sinner, as well as a few pieces of instrumental orchestral music. Zappa had several iterations of his bands, starting in the early sixties with the first version of the Mothers of Invention. Over time Frank had many people in the band who would go on to be big as solo artists. When the pop group The Turtles got sued out of existence the two main vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman joined as "Flo and Eddie" (not allowed to use their names due to the lawsuit). His group around 1973 included George Duke and Chester Thompson (later drummer for Genesis). He's had guitarists like Steve Vai and Adrian Belew play in the band, and drummers like Terry Bozzio just to name a few. The band you may have heard of is Zappa plays Zappa, which is his son Dweezil playing Frank's music. I would say if anything Frank inspired Clinton since Frank in the late 50's.
Now this is what a reaction should be!! And the perfect song to begin the Frank Zappa Journey!! I believe I heard the album that this song is on back in 1974 something like that for the first time I was 15 or 16 years old and it was my introduction to the world of Frank Zappa!! I have been a huge fan ever since and attended several concerts during the late 70s and early 80s at the Palladium Theater in New York City where is Zappa would have multiple concerts around Halloween each year!!! As a matter of fact I was in attendance at the very first live broadcast on MTV in 1981 of a Frank Zappa concert Halloween 1981 it was broadcast simultaneously over FM radio and I was there and it was awesome!!! There is no experience on the planet like a Frank Zappa live concert at Halloween time!! Unfortunately those days are long gone, rest in peace Frank!!!
Wow, so cool! Yes NYC Halloween shows are legendary! I've seen a bit of footage from that MTV show. Frank's reaction to Nina Blackwood's empty questions is hilarious.
Zappa music can be brilliant, comical ,confusing, annoying and absolutely ripping. All in the same song. And every song is different . You can't pin this guy down.
Zappa plays Zappa is his son playing Frank's music. Zappa had the mother's of invention playing with him. Buckle your seat belt it's going to get interesting.
You guys should look up the lyrics. Come on Frenchie is the lyric at the end, not come on baby. Frenchie is the name of the poodle referenced earlier in the song “just like your momma make that fuzzy poodle chew. Then a womens erotic voice sings oh Frenchie. At the end it’s “the poodle bites, c’mon Frenchie, the poodle chews it, snap it” make your own conclusion but it’s pretty obvious what he is referencing.
Hollywood: Idk if anyone else in the comments said it, but you were thinking of “Abba Zabba” candy bars from Half Baked! “Abba Zabba, you my only friend!”
The band is called The Mothers of invention. Frank changed bands every few years, but they are always the Mothers. Listen to “More trouble every day” on their first album, Freakout (1965) I think it is the first rap song… spoken rhyme about social issues. It was about the race riots in Watts.
he beat the path that primus walked..he was a genre all on his own called''zappa''...all musical styles and some he created...george clinton said every black man should listen to zappa.
Peeps need to stop telling Frankie to R.I.P. Straight up, he never rested and was always busy stirring up... everything. Wherever he is, you can be sure he's busy waking up the neighbors to truth. (Although it's said he did like a piece now and again, nudge nudge.)
there's a tribute band currently called Zappa. Or I think that's what they're going by. Mostly alumni of Zappa's bands. (Primus btw was very influenced by Zappa)
George Clinton is nice to fans bit notoriously shady with business-he'd underpay his musicians and stiff the tech crew and stage hands hired for his shows. I met one such road crew person in NYC in the 2000s and she had nothing good to say about Clinton. He worked her and the crew overtime and then skipped out on paying them. As for live Zappa to check out, a good intro to see just him and his guitar is him on the Mike Douglas show performing "Black Napkins."
The thing with Frank Zappa is that he has played/composed in almost every genre imaginable, from pop/rock to experimantal aleatoric and concrete quasi-classical music. And most of his music was actually composed and put in notes. To play with Zappa was both a torture and the biggest honour, and there are so many very famous musicians who co-operated with him, and Steve Vai, Tina Turner, Captain Beefheart, Terry Bozzio are just a handful of plenty of names. He recorded almost 100 albums. And if you want to react to Zappa, you can try "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee" or "Stick it Out" for crossing borders. ;-)

Zappa and the musicians in his orbit is a whole universe onto itself.
This song was on the mother's of inventions last album, overnight sensation (1973) After this album, the band was called Frank Zappa.
I love watching folks' reactions to Zappa... careful if you go down that rabbit hole because it's very deep, very diverse, and pure genius.
Zappa is an entire Rabbit Hole you can go down and be amazed and entertained all the way.
Haha :) Welcome to Zappa kingdom. As good a journey as Tool.

"Dirty Love" is the song P Funk wished they wrote... Red Hot Chili Peppers been rippin' Zappa off ever since...

Probably my favorite of your reactions. So glad you enjoyed this one.
You guys GOTTA check out ‘Apostrophe’ by Frank Zappa- you will not regret it

Frank Zappa lived to offend people....the act of offending gave him much joy. Other Zappa greats are Dynamo Hum and Moving to Montana.

To hear you say Zappa fits into a genre like Claypool, puts Claypool way up! I like it.
FZ was the band leader and composer. He used different band members over the years.
Surely these guys aren’t real - great comedy.
Listen to Zappa and hear the breadth of his talent and listen to Capt. Beefheart - Trout mask replica

Frank zappa had a band called the mothers of invention ... he also has studio musicians but frank and George came on the scene around the same time ... they're jazz blues fusion funk .... with a bit of rock n roll ...

Hollywood: Idk if anyone else in the comments said it, but you were thinking of “Abba Zabba” candy bars from Half Baked! “Abba Zabba, you my only friend!”
The band is called The Mothers of invention. Frank changed bands every few years, but they are always the Mothers. Listen to “More trouble every day” on their first album, Freakout (1965) I think it is the first rap song… spoken rhyme about social issues. It was about the race riots in Watts.
More ZAPPA!
That right there is greasy rock, my bois.
This is the stuff that don't get the light of the day.
Keep it greasy!
Great reaction ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !!!!!
Hell guys just jump off into the deep end with Zappa singing Titties and Beer
Frank Zappa and The Mother of Invention
Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.... now ya know😊
he beat the path that primus walked..he was a genre all on his own called''zappa''...all musical styles and some he created...george clinton said every black man should listen to zappa.
Peeps need to stop telling Frankie to R.I.P.
Straight up, he never rested and was always busy stirring up... everything. Wherever he is, you can be sure he's busy waking up the neighbors to truth. (Although it's said he did like a piece now and again, nudge nudge.)
there's a tribute band currently called Zappa. Or I think that's what they're going by. Mostly alumni of Zappa's bands.
(Primus btw was very influenced by Zappa)
George Clinton is nice to fans bit notoriously shady with business-he'd underpay his musicians and stiff the tech crew and stage hands hired for his shows. I met one such road crew person in NYC in the 2000s and she had nothing good to say about Clinton. He worked her and the crew overtime and then skipped out on paying them.
As for live Zappa to check out, a good intro to see just him and his guitar is him on the Mike Douglas show performing "Black Napkins."
He was a musician ahead of his time. And hee left us way too soon. Frank was a genius
The thing with Frank Zappa is that he has played/composed in almost every genre imaginable, from pop/rock to experimantal aleatoric and concrete quasi-classical music. And most of his music was actually composed and put in notes. To play with Zappa was both a torture and the biggest honour, and there are so many very famous musicians who co-operated with him, and Steve Vai, Tina Turner, Captain Beefheart, Terry Bozzio are just a handful of plenty of names. He recorded almost 100 albums. And if you want to react to Zappa, you can try "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee" or "Stick it Out" for crossing borders. ;-)
I wanted to check out more of Frank Zappa's music, thanks
