Whenever I stumble across one of those "best guitar solo ever" and "best guitar player" videos I return here to make sure it´s still there. Zappa wasn´t the best guitar player of his time, (and he never claimed to be) but he knew how to play a fucking solo that beats the hell out of every "best solo ever" video on youtube. The man was totally underrated as a guitarist, if someone asks me.
He was "one of the best" for his entire time on Earth. Nobody could improvise such an onslaught of rippin' notes hammered into your skull until your head exploded like FZ. Then came EVH, but he would rip the same onslaught of notes the same way every night. With Frank, you never knew what Frank was going to do. Pure musical improvisational emoting and constantly exploring new territories.
Every lick followed the previous lick of perfection with the only note that belonged in the exact place it was played and no other note would deliver the punch like the one he played.... Solo extremest. he never played a note in the wrong place...R.I.P. Frank Zappa.
At a soloshow I ask him and he answered: No coffee, no alcohol, no drugs, but healthy lifestyle with good food! Later he add a lot of power supplements, so he wrote on his website!
Yes, it sounds totally wild... but every damn note is scored, and Mr Zappa knows and loves each and every one of them personally and he will be VERY ANGRY if you improvise and don't play the music exactly the way it's written down. Ooh, this must've been a scary band to be in... But man, what a rush! :-)
Zappa´s solo is improvised...as usual. The rest of the band plays exactly what they´ve been told to play. He was a dictator alright, but he also knew how to bring out a musician ´s full potential. Pretty much everyone who worked with him, was thankful for that. And he had a radar for great talents. Not sure, if anyone today knew Adrian Belew, Bozzio or Vai without FZ.
Thanks. I'm not as familiar with Zappa's music as I am Hendrix's, but surely Hendrix influenced the hell out of Frank. After reading your comment I googled some 1965 era Mothers and wondered to myself why Clapton was hailed so mightily when Zappa was better than him even back then. @@mirarstudios
Everything Bozzio ever did was a solo... the guy is unspeakably unmatched... neal pert wished, bonham said fuck it and did something as impressive. but yeesh, this guy's spirit was pure fire... golly... RAWR... wow, whatametronome...
About this song i had absolutely the same question, amazing moment. But i think its like light phaser after low fuzz or fuzzy od. On my amp its sounds close, but need a time to find this option. And of course its playing style. But i love this sound
Greatest is a matter of taste....but I'd like hear the guitarist who can top Frank. His guitar playing was as nasty and acerbic as his wit and wisdom..........He could do it all...........
why is Bozzio acting so weird , every time you see a missing persons video , the dude is solemn and almost comatose..... all an act. super cringe mode.

Listen to what Steve Vai says about Zappa how complicated he actually was a guitairst
He was "one of the best" for his entire time on Earth. Nobody could improvise such an onslaught of rippin' notes hammered into your skull until your head exploded like FZ.

I'll take a Zappa solo over a shredder any day. This one's awesome
Every lick followed the previous lick of perfection with the only note that belonged in the exact place it was played and no other note would deliver the punch like the one he played.... Solo extremest. he never played a note in the wrong place...R.I.P. Frank Zappa.
100%, Spot on. His energy is uncopyable!
If any Drummer resembles the Animal from the Muppets in human form it was Bozzio with Zappa.
That's Zappa and Adrian Belew on guitars
Oh really, I would have never guessed.
Thank you, captain obvious… 🤷🏻♂️
Hey, guys, no need to be so mean.
Adrian == GOAT!
Terry's monster on drums!!!!
I was there , Halloween in New York City never the same. Breaks my heart.
what year was this?
@@jamescastillo2405 I wasn't there, but I believe this is 1977
Any one else got the suspicion that this is the template for the muppet show's drummer.
Probably one of my favourite Zappa performances ever! The entire band just seems to be having so much damn fun.
To me this was HIS best band ever.
Top job lads. As a stage manager I spent a whole day backstage with Terry. Awesome human!!
if you know the amount of talent in that group with zappa,they are and will always be magical.
The kick drum work in this makes it so powerful. Also, the line Zappa used to start his sólo might be my favorite of all time.
I wish that I could upvote this 500 times.
Bozzio has the greatest Animal impression of all time
Zappa’s bands were always so f’n great, but this era beats them all. This is hard rock at its best!
Terry is a drum set performance artist, beyond mere drummer for sure.
Avoid Terry`s coffee
At a soloshow I ask him and he answered: No coffee, no alcohol, no drugs, but healthy lifestyle with good food!
Later he add a lot of power supplements, so he wrote on his website!
I Love You Punky! Hee Hee! Wow, what a song…what a band. Zappa and The Boys at their most entertaining!
I wonder what the carers in the nursing home will be thinking when I blast this from my iPhone.
Killer groove and some blistering Zappa and Bozz jam. Timeless in my humble! Peace.
The best drummer in the World , amazing terri.
It never ceases to amaze.
This is so insane Freaking Good tune and it have been one of my big time favorite on youtube for over 8 years now :)
The amazing thing is just seeing how far bozzios technique has evolved.
Adrian belew, terry bozzio, fantastic
Terry Bozzio = Animal from 'The Muppets'
That was fantastic !
This is Frank Zappa!!!
My GOD!! (Mr:Bozzio)

@@clutchgolf So... Marino did the 100 best solos ever filmed.... Dont y'a think?😁😁😁😁
Amazing!!!

Was the best guitar player of all time.
Zappa brought out the best in musicians.
Zappa sounds here as if he picked up exactly where Hendrix left off.
Zappa introduced Hendrix to the Wawa peddle... They were contemporaneous
Thanks. I'm not as familiar with Zappa's music as I am Hendrix's, but surely Hendrix influenced the hell out of Frank. After reading your comment I googled some 1965 era Mothers and wondered to myself why Clapton was hailed so mightily when Zappa was better than him even back then. @@mirarstudios
This rules!! Haha, Terry ain't skeered of the camera, hey? Hahaha... Frank is rippin!! THIS!! Zappa uber alles!! Cheers, everybody!! =)
I somehow missed this era of Zappa.😮 I Am truly ashamed... seriously 😣.
Everything Bozzio ever did was a solo... the guy is unspeakably unmatched... neal pert wished, bonham said fuck it and did something as impressive. but yeesh, this guy's spirit was pure fire... golly... RAWR... wow, whatametronome...
GOOD LORD DID TERRY JUST KISS HIS DRUMSTICK AT 2:44
at 2:49 its a wet one ;)
Adrian!
If you played for Frank, you became famous......
If this isn't the most underrated performance - what is?
AMAZING
check out mick tucker from top glam rock band the sweet, the man with the golden arm. totally underrated drummer
Mick Tucker was one of the most cruel and absolute metronomic drummers EVER, Terry Bozzio is fantastic , but Mick Tucker was a brain surgeon.
Belew looks like he's dressed for David Bowie's band.
OMG every time I need to take a shit, this video helps me out!!!
Hahahahaha #metoo :)
I'm reading this while taking a shit, so yeah...
This would be crazy on the heavy acid of the 70s
what is the name of this song?
@@AlexanderDecenzo-y1y Punky's Whips
It was!
Belew and Bozzio is o fire
Belew in the principles outfit kills me. Screw David Bowie for poaching him
2:38 How did he do that? My brain cant process this
Most likely a unison bend on the high E and B string, or perhaps on the G and B strings
do what?
About this song i had absolutely the same question, amazing moment. But i think its like light phaser after low fuzz or fuzzy od. On my amp its sounds close, but need a time to find this option. And of course its playing style. But i love this sound
listen to Hendrix and you will see and hear it million times
They make it look way too easy here. Epic
what is the name of this song?
His vocals remind me of Paul DiAnno
Glorious :)
Making the Moon faces
Young trent reznor on the drums killing it 😂😂
Greatest is a matter of taste....but I'd like hear the guitarist who can top Frank. His guitar playing was as nasty and acerbic as his wit and wisdom..........He could do it all...........
Wahh@!!
For a song about (iirc) accidentally finding a picture of a dude hot and making a joke out of it this song goes obscenely hard.
pazzesco !!!!
'81 ASASU 🤙
This is so much more heavy than any heavy metal. Young people just need to go home and practice. Practice a lot.
por favor, qual o nome dessa musica?
top
Little skinny terry bozzio really beats that kit like a drunk southern widow might get beat
what is the name of this song?
Punky's whips
Who invented thrash metal? Anyone? Frank tops jimmy in this one
Which song is this?
Punky's Whips
3:00
I can smell the late 70s through the monitor and it smells of moldy shag carpet, cigarettes and sweaty mustaches.
How much coke was used in this performance?????
Uuuuuu grodie
¿Mejor? ¿Peor? ÚNICO!!!
drummer from Missing Persons
You just can't do this on the stage anymore. I mean, no one does this on the stage anymore.
Which the hell show was this? Halloween '77?
what is the name of this song?
@@AlexanderDecenzo-y1yPunky’s Whips, and yes: Halloween 1977, Palladium, NYC.
Zappa is shirtless, Bozzio is in black underpants, Belew is in a dress. wtf?
Those were the days eh? :)
Terry sings better than Dale.
Bozzio is insane. Can't stand the guy.
why is Bozzio acting so weird , every time you see a missing persons video , the dude is solemn and almost comatose..... all an act. super cringe mode.
what is the name of this song?
I like zappa music , but this video make me so disgusting, and i don't know why Bozzio spit at the end. Make me feel sick Disgusting disgusting
It’s sad how he went from this to playing the way he did in Missing Persons. He let a hot piece of ass waste his talent.
i understand where you're coming from. i do love early missing persons.
Sounds like a bunch of fucking noise
to me, man.
