Frank gets under your skin..little by little...till you crave his humor and guitar solos like crispy bacon. THE BEST.. it's a way of life you'll love it
Dude's my hero. Inca roads. His catalog is huge, you'll find a hundred tunes that you love, a hundred that will confuse and irritate you, and a hundred that will make you look at music in a whole new way. Tied to the whipping post!
Ruth Underwood looked like she was having a blast and satisfied getting her musical fix. That's how playing should be. No matter what you do, be the best at it.
Intellectual insanity. Zappa would sit on a plane and write out a whole original song on paper. He's a modern day Bach in music. He just likes the warped humor.
Frank Zappa considered himself, first and foremost, a composer. And a very straight-laced, non-druggie composer. People looked at him and ass-u-med he did drugs, but they were all wrong. RIP Frank, he passed from cancer, but did much great work before he did.
The lyrics are fun, but when Frank puts down the cigarette and starts his guitar work, the song gets pretty damn serious. Seriously great I mean. I bought the "Overnight Sensation" album when it came out, and I've still got it. Yup. "By myself I wouldn't have no boss."
Really, Zappas recordings were sophisticated. His stuff and Captain Beefhearts' stuff was off- world. He could make fun of just about anything, including but not limited to love peace and hippies, govt censorship, groupies.. etc
If you want to get a good introduction to Zappa, his philosophy of music, his mad genius and bizarre mind, and a roster of insanely talented musicians I would suggest an experimental film he made called Baby Snakes, there is concert footage, BTS antics, claymation, interviews, an all around fascinating time capsule from 1977.
Frank's works remind me of OPERA, many of which are in Italian, yet we enjoy them, though we don't know what they are singing about. If we did not speak English, MONTANA would still be dope. Frank's words may seem silly, but they scan. His words are sounds first, words second.
hell yeah,more zappa! a lot of times his lyrics are just nonsensical and silly,but lead to some amazing guitar solos as you just saw. his songwriting was always done with tongue planted firmly in cheek. percussionist ruth underwood is also fantastic to watch live. she's here,she's there and never misses a beat.
I'm curious as to which documentary BizMatik watched - there are a lot of them and they're decidedly variable in quality and accuracy, Biz probably knows by now that, starting in mid-1973, in Frank's concerts the tracks tended to all segue together - to find out what happened next, after Montana cut off, watch this -youtube + watch?v=5dk_GFrxiVY - and an interesting place to go after that might be this specific version of the song with the eye-popping title: youtube + watch?v=3dliSS0Af2I
Captain beef heart (Don Vanvliet) and Frank Zappa did tracks together. Zappa producing in the recording studio for Don. You can hear Frank in the background telling Captain beef heart to "do it again
I’m pretty sure he’s mocking the back-to-the-land movement that was happening at that time. Lots of them had no clue how to live in the country or the outback.
I used to think that about this song and most of the others on the album but forget the lyrics and let the music in and you realise how brilliant it is. The album version with the Ikettes is seriously complex music

Crispy bacon...beautiful / perfect !!!! Love from Holland / Netherlands
Frank was one of the best composers America has ever known. He also plays a mean guitar.
More Frank!!
He also composed classical music.
I would say THE best American composer.
Every musician respected Zappa's talent.
Zappa is a wild ass ride Biz. Love how you’re open and just lay back and appreciate it. Lol
Got my Zircon-Encrusted Tweezers and ready to watch the video 👍
Bust out the Sears Poncho.

I think he had 69 albums before he passed away. I have about 85 unique albums (lot of posthumous releases). I love the guy.

Ruth is one of the most talented musicians ever imo
I think she is the 8th marvel.

How many musicians are like Zappa?@@op-xv3ui
What about Mozart? Bach never wrote lyrics either. Franks biggest influence was from Spike Jones actually. @@op-xv3ui
There was only one and never be again another Zappa. Musical genious with a brain that just worked different
I saw him in concert in 1977…..epic!!! He takes one on a ride with each and every song, and his sense of humor was always so much fun! 😽🎶
I think that's the line up I saw with Zappa in the seventies at his concert.
Me too! 🙂👍

This line up is my favorite Mothers of Invention.
You'd dig Inca Roads same live album.
I hope you do Titties and Beer from his Live From New York album.
Don't eat the yellow snow!
Zappa!
A musical genius. He was very experimental.

On Ruth
on Ruth- that's Ruth.
I always listen to the lyrics at a lower volume and when it just music i crank it super loud
Biz! You should go back to his very first album with "Trouble Coming Every Day" , from 1966 LP, Freak Out! Also, have you done "Cosmik Debris", yet?.
Viva Zappa !
Inca Roads is a great tune with a brilliant video you should check out Biz.

Solid
Yes more Zappa, “why does it hurt when I pee” and “willie the pimp”.
Chunga's revenge

Little house I used to live in (at Fillmore East)
Zomby Woof (Zappa plays Zappa = cover by his son)
You have to check out Crew Slut. My favourite harmonica solo of all time.
Very unusual, but it's Zappa!
I Agree

These guy were not on drugs. They wouldn't be able to keep up if they were. You definitely have to be paying attention and mentally with it.

sheesh it was awhile ago on youtube its like 7 minutes long a little mini do. if i find it ill let you know
One other mention, start covering captain beefheart and his magic band. Its very "different". The album Trout Mask Replica. Track: Pena. .😅
Captain beef heart (Don Vanvliet) and Frank Zappa did tracks together. Zappa producing in the recording studio for Don. You can hear Frank in the background telling Captain beef heart to "do it again
Check out his album....JAZZ FROM HELL. PURE INTRUMENTAL.NO VOCALS.
Check out Inca Roads.
Lyric ; its about a naïeve hippie narrow escape dream ....
Camarillo Brillo
Dinah Moe Hum
Joe's Garage
Bobby Brown Goes Down
Zomby Woof. Doesnt matter what version
He is behind everything he did another one gone to soon
Those are kettle drums or timpani.
I’m pretty sure he’s mocking the back-to-the-land movement that was happening at that time. Lots of them had no clue how to live in the country or the outback.
last song on the album
Dental floss = puff, puff, pass, pass...
Wierd and good for a one time listen. Then move one
Much better than that. This music has depth and difficulty. Every top notch musician respects Zappa for his abilities.
Or you just don't get it.
I used to think that about this song and most of the others on the album but forget the lyrics and let the music in and you realise how brilliant it is. The album version with the Ikettes is seriously complex music
@@peters7025 The lyrics are brilliant, too. It uses 'pataphysics.
Genio assoluto
