I've seen other reactors review Zappa, but not to this extent. You do more than just the same 10 songs over and over again. Appreciate
the arm motions are what keeps the musicians on beat and in time. in that section you see him wave left, right, and then up; thats because the section is in 3/4 time and you count the beat like "1,2,3 1,2,3." Hope this helps! love to see more semi-obscure frank reactions, i'd recommend Dupree's Paradise from the 1973 stockholm show
This reminded me so much of the one and only time I got to see him live. He spent a good deal of the evening with his back to the audience, conducting the band like a Maestro. Ever so often he would wander over to a rack of guitars, pick one up, plug it in and wail for ten minutes, then put it down and go back to conducting. I remember my first thought on the day I heard that he had passed, "The World just became a MUCH less interesting place."
Simply stands for "Reverse, Drive, Neutral, 2nd, Low"
@Zolar Czakl I know, but I remember once seeing an old video interview with Frank and one from the 2000's with George Duke and they both said that's what it was. No real meaning other than Frank being Frank. That's why we're still asking "why that name?" 49 years later. lol
It's amazing. He never hits a bad note.
Zappa wasn't just a musician he was a modern composer. And he knew what that meant. Modern genius
Where does FZ's music come from?
As a teenager he fell in love with the music of French avant-garde composer Edgar Varese'. Soon afterwards he got exposed to Stravinsky and Anton Webern.
The first music he ever wrote at the age of 14 was his attempt at creating a "link" between those 3 composers. He was a drummer, and started playing in R&B bands because loved that music, too. Never heard guitar solos the way he wanted so he picked up guitar. He loved Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Matt Murphy and Gatemouth Brown. He also liked Do-Wop, the vocal harmonies. Later he discovered the music of India and the Middle East, incorporated elements from those musics into his vocabulary. In an interview from the early 70's he says these are the places he created his musical language from.
OK Teez, I got this from Dweezil himself just before he played this song live. It is pronounced Ree Dun Zul it is a play on the words redundant and Rapunzel. FZ wrote this for his wife Gail, who had long hair and liked to tell stories, often over and over again...so there you are.
Thank you for this!
I always thought it was a variation of the transmission indicator in a car. PRNDL.
@@shyshift I used to think that too, but FZ was always one to insinuate multiple meanings with his words. But I did see Dweezil tell the story of where the title came from, a song written for his mother by FZ, the title is a play on her Rapunzel hair and her redundant story telling, so very FZ if u ask me.
I used to think the Z was a clue that it was an acronym using Zappa's name. The best I could come up with was ' Really Dumb New Zappa Lick'
Teez, thanks for another FZ reaction. If you want to check out what he’s about, there is a new documentary called “Zappa”. It’s streaming for about $5 on many services. I highly recommend it. Many of your questions will be answered.
Zappa completly in confidence... thrusthood
Back in Zappa's early days he would do what he called "dead air" during which his band would chiba up. FZ would sometimes read teen mag articles about the Monkeys and throw much shade their way. He also did alot of conducting the Mother's. Thank you Fella
Looks like the solo part is exactly the one from You Cant Do That On Stage Anymore Vol 5. Didn't know there existed a video of it, great discovery ! You might want to check out A Pound For A Brown On The Bus from the same album. It might be the grooviest tune Zappa ever did on this amazing piece !
reminded of that Bruce Bickford claymation video of Zappa (Snakes?) where he is shredding and his fingers grow fingers
Baby Snakes! That was my real introduction to Zappa.
Very interesting version of my favourite studio track of Frank's. This version has just as equally killer guitar solo as the original version but I prefer George duke's solo and Ruth Underwood's playing. Do the studio version it's a masterpiece. However that is one of the best things about Frank, all his songs live are original each time they are played, sometimes completely different and each of his line ups have their own unique qualities that set them apart.
Studio version is pure excellence! That whole album really, some of his best... Studio Tan!!
Chad Wackerman - the smoothest one of all Zappa drummers - makes it look sooo easy 😮
When pushed fz said his favourite to play with was vinnie.
This band is tighter than bark on a tree.
Maybe the only guy who could make a really long guitar solo interesting. And he could do it consistently.
So many people focus on the guitar that they don't hear at first just how great the guys he played with are!
Some of the best in the business.
I would say that Frank just took the music from deep within his own soul, and past experiences. His music WAS him.
Besides the normal hand motions Frank introduced a lot more Zappa motions to instruct specific band behaviour.
Frank Zappa - Whipping Post
His son Dweezil does a jam on King Kong with Chick Corea in one of the live Zappa plays Zappa shows. You might find and react to that video in honor of Chick’s passing.
Incredible. What a fuckin solo. Holy shit!!…..
To help you know where he comes from, watch what he makes his drummers do! (He started off as a drummer.) In fact, one of his most popular pieces, "Black Napkins" was originally written as a drum exercise.
See what it morphed into here: ua-cam.com/video/wNFucC0M7gY/v-deo.html
As matter of fact, please play Black Napkins from my link above. It's perfectly edited for your use.
I believe you mean "The Black Page". Black Napkins is simply a 2 chord bluesy vamp.
more zappa, hell yeah
THX!
Radunzel. Choose optional vowels and insert between the consonants to replace the vowels that were stripped away from the syllables by the cosmic wind.
Ahhhh this is when Steve Vai was with the band.
I think you could call Zappa's music controlled insanity.
Frank the conductor
I thought we were trying to get him into Zappa not scare him away
lol
Wha-- ?
Teez doesn't scare easily
Love this but the Studio Tan version is the winner for me
Tommy Mars going for it big time
Teez, here's your badass Zappa interview: ua-cam.com/video/Eln3J6BxWN0/v-deo.html - He once said: "Being interviewed is one of the most abnormal things that you can do to somebody else. It's two steps removed from the Inquisition"
Oh man, good choice, I love this performance, a little slower than normal but stilo great
For some much easier listening from the Zappa list give a listen to "Evelyn, A Modified Dog" and "Harder Than Your Husband". Both are short so you could do a 2-fer with them.
Try "The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution!"
He's influenced mostly funk, jazz, and blues by the likes of Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Howlin' Wolf, and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. For example listen to Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Ain't That A Bitch", Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning", and almost any damn thing from Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown! If'n you were an exceptional guitar player from the earliest "LP" records to about '62 you would have had his attention.
Like all the Zappa reactions.
Try some different recordings of this tune from the Helsinki Concert, and Studio Tan albums.
Artists - creative people, to my mind, have a different way of thinking, right? 😄
MY MAN!!!!!
whats more fun ..guitar solo's or zylophone
Zappa went to the library read a book on conducting an orchestra that's how he learned new things.this isn't the best version of this song .here is a better version

Hi hi!
Pronounced redunzl it’s a nick name for his wife Gale
You listened to the wrong version. Listen to the one off the Lather album. Guitar solo is great
Nah, this IS the right one! The studio version is fine but this liv version from 6+ yrs later showoff the beautiful melody by doing it slow. Both may be too much for a newer listener, but I'd wished I had heard this later version first - because of the melody ! I'd never appreciated the care of the melody with just the earlier studio version. But carry on. Each to their own tastes.
@@itssimple7285 He isn't _that_ new of a listener at this point; as long as you don't throw Jazz From Hell or Thing Fish or Lumpy Gravy at him, there shouldn't be a problem.
Guitar solo on the version he listened to was great, don't get me wrong. Just think the version off Studio Tan or Lather is smoother, easier listening for someone who is relatively new to Zappa, or isn't a total Zappa head. This guy seems to appreciate Frank though, so I think he can enjoy both versions.
I think he would enjoy St. Etienne off Jazz from Hell
@@vinnyfryguy2317 Maybe, yeah. Some stuff throws even the hard core fans off. For me it was Francesco. I really thought he's lost his marbles there.
This version is sooooooo slow in the beginning ... =)
Pronounced re-DUN-zle
Pronounce redunzle...
