Frank is a musical genius. He never allowed any drugs in the band, you couldn't be high and be able to play such complicated music. This is a very deep rabbit hole.
Actually a great place to start with Frank - depth of music composition, humor and musicianship all in one. Frank is a deep, deep pool of music to explore. Joe's Garage, Peaches en Regalia, and Montana are all good follow ups to this masterpiece. I have been a fan of Frank and his music for over 50 years and one never gets tired of his music. 70+ LP's while he was alive and still more being released. He was a genius.
@jeffmartin1026 - Actually, Frank released 59 albums in his life. The catalog lists 62, but you have to subtract the 3 Old Masters box sets since they were reissues.
Frank Zappa is an alien. He was a superior intelligence from another dimension. His music...is...well, his music. I don't know how to describe it except to say it's Jazz, Rock, Psychedelia, Funk, Classical, Burlesque, and Space-age Bachelor Pad music all thrown into a cosmic blender and set to HIGH!! You will never, ever get to the bottom of the Frank Zappa Rabbit Hole. But, you'll have an amazing time trying to!
I last saw him in 1979. They played Inca Roads but just as we were all waiting on Frank's solo...he didn't take it. Brilliantly unpredictable as always.
An old friend of mine went to a Zappa show, and, through some kind of confusion, was let into the back stage area where the band was, and in celebration and excitement decided to light up a joint. Frank Zappa came back and said "What's that smell?" and looked at my buddy and said "GET OUT!"
You nailed it. Frank was a serious musician that used humor to spice up his creative spirit. A modern day composer and one heck of a guitarist. Massive music catalogue with different genres and configurations of top players.
OH, I missed this one Shawn. Damn, your audio (again) is KILLER! What a band!! Only Frank Zappa would write a song about aliens coming down to teach the Incas how to build roads through the Andes. Ruth Underwood (they call out her name at the end) is the incredible percussionist. Did you know the guy playing drums is Chester Thompson (they also call out "Chester's theme"). If you heard his name before it is because Phil Collins loved Frank Zappa's music and heard him play, called him up, and recruited him for Genesis! Yes. Phil also heard him play with Weather Report, another of his favs. (and mine) Small World.
Definitely not a jam session. Every part is composed. That music is serious fun. The ability to take the most complex music and make it fun-- now that is greatness.
Indeed through - composed (his musicians had to be able to read sheet music). Zappa typically left defined slots for soloing though. Worked heavily with hand gestures that his musicians had to react to.
My first exposure to Frank was with the first Mothers of Invention Freak Out album in the 60’s which our art teacher played for us.If you go down the amazing Frank Zappa’s rabbit hole bring a truckload off carrots because it goes on forever.
Zappa started to compose music from childhood until his death in 1993. He produced 60 albums during his lifetime (many doubles and triples). Much more has been released after his death (and his "vault" is still containing unreleased music). He checked the borders of what is possible to do within music. Everything you heard was carefully rehearsed in detail except the guitar solo which was improvised live. His son Dweezil Zappa is still touring with his dads music as "Zappa plays Zappa". Check their version of "Zomby Woof"!
It actually pains me to see that almost no commenters ever even think of mentioning his name on these reactions. Bruce was a one-man-show, animating all by himself, not cheating on the fps. He was a gentle, if slightly paranoid and troubled soul. When he and Zappa parted ways, Zappa kept all clay models that resembled himself. Bruce only had one little group sculpture of the mothers with Frank left. And we actually found a pack of Frank's Winston's when I visited him in his place in SeaTac.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 The best gift he gave was shaking my hand. He never shook hands in his late years. But he came to Germany for his retrospective exhibition, and I think he enjoyed what we did. He even cut my pizza for me. 😂
This is my favorite line-up. I became a huge George Duke fan because of Frank. Ruth is a legend as is Chester. I know his catalogue is overwhelming but you really should go back to his early stuff with the Mothers Of Invention to have a starting point.
Frank was a rare musical genius. Composer, arranger, writer and outstanding guitarist in any and all genres including classical. He also loved to parody societal fads and pop culture. Many of his pieces were x rated due to the lyrics and he was as politically incorrect as one could be. He also was a staunt libertarian, yet did not use drugs or tolerate his band members using them. And wow did he have masterful musicians, such as George Duke on keys and vocals in this video. Also in his bands were Jean Luc Ponty (!) on violin and the masterful Steve Vai on guitar. Too many to list... I was fortunate to see Frank and his band perform twice in the 80s. Fond memories! Other tunes to consider: There is an amazing live video of Muffin Man. Frank in pure Rock Guitarist God Mode. Cosmik Debris, Yellow Snow suite (studio) and my all time favorite Billy the Mountain (recorded live but 20+ minutes long). Enjoy!
Good comment, Jim. I'm not sure I've ever heard "Billy the Mountain" before. I'll have to look that one up. Inca Roads, Don't Eat Yellow Snow, Cosmik Debris - all favorites of mine, too.
It's very serious with comic bite. Completely charted. That is no jam session. Had the privilege to work with him briefly. A gentleman. A meticulous artist Miss you Frank.
The Zappa effect: George Duke was a classically trained pianist. Frank wanted him to play the synthesizer, but Duke wasn't interested. Frank bought one for him, set it up on his keyboard rig and asked him to just fiddle around with it from time to time to get the feel for it. George did and eventually fell in love with it, going on to become one of the greats in the field. Ruth Underwood had to be persuaded by Frank to have her marimba electrified. To do that, the bars needed to be drilled and wired. She was very afraid to do that. Frank had a marimba of his own and told her that he would be willing to do it to his first if she would if the results worked. She did, and the results were amazing for touring. Frank had a way of wanting to get the most out of his musicians, pushing them out of their comfort zone, but he also had a way of reassuring them in the process. In the end the Zappa effect made most every one of the musicians in his various bands far better musicians than when they came in. Frank not only wanted the best, which he got, but he made the best even better.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Oh hey, I never got your reply about what you Aussies think of American politics right now. Your Sky News, owned by Rupert Murdoch who owns FOX News here in the states, gives you very pro-Trump bias. I'm wondering how you think about it.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 For the most part, the president is mostly a mouthpiece and not necessarily the policy maker. The folks behind the scenes are the ones who make government work. Taken that, Biden could be considered a puppet as much as any other. Trump doesn't follow the advice of cabinet members and doesn't even choose cabinet members who are qualified for their positions. You're right to say that Trump is in it for the money and if reelected could be dangerous. The reason is, his personality is that of a persecuted man. That personality goes back long before he ran the first time. What would be most dangerous now is that, if elected, he wouldn't be there to govern America. He would use his power to crush his enemies. His enemies in US government. That's not the role of the president but that's what he would make it. I have every expectation that the voters will vote against him again as they did in 2020 but I'm also afraid that Biden, who is the only viable Democratic candidate, is looking too old and feeble to get strong support. This coming election truly will be "Trump or Not Trump" like it was in 2020 but with an even less palpable "Not Trump" because of his age. Thanks for your reply. Just wondering what folks down under might think. On that; normally, American politics likely isn't as interesting to folks halfway around the world, but with Trump in the picture, the world is watching. Case in point: In 2020 when the election was finally called for Biden a few days after the election, Paris lit up the Eiffel Tower in celebration. They never did that before to celebrate an American election. The world cares.
No drugs here. Frank detested drugs, including alcohol. The only drug he used (in massive amounts) was tobacco ("my favourite vegetable") which unfortunately killed him way too early.
@outernothingness1177 - Frank enjoyed good wine and an occasional beer. He was addicted to and consumed massive amounts of cigarettes (nicotine is a drug) and coffee (caffeine is a drug) every day. “To me, a cigarette is food,” I live my life smoking these things, and drinking the ‘black water’ in this cup here.” - Frank Zappa
You can't really call it a jam session, though, can you? Sure there are a few improvisational parts from Frank on guitar and George on they keyboards. But otherwise, it is very meticulously composed. Frank Zappa was a very serious musician, but he wanted there to be a certain amount of fun to help digest it.
I'm already grinning, and you haven't started the video yet. Fast-forward to the end --> Can't speak for FZ and his intent, but I've always found it better with drugs.😎 My impression has always been that Zappa was a very serious musician who encouraged audiences to take him less than seriously, but then to force the audience to snap back and recognize the keen edge of his creativity right about the time they might be slipping into disrespect for what he did. I have not been the sort of fan that has owned a lot of his vinyl or digital recordings, but I've never heard a Zappa piece that I haven't enjoyed enough to want to hear it again.
The only way to understand Zappa is to listen to a range of his songs and albums, and even then you might not have any better idea than when you started! -A little Thursday night Zappa humor, there.
Kudos on your attention span. Frank seriously loved the absurd. Absurdities in our culture (like alien abduction, Bigfoot and fashion) and absurdly difficult music.
Zappa didn`t like drugs, as unlikely it sounds, hahaha, all of this piece is very elaborated, if you rewatch carefully you`ll see the tight structure with free dynamics, also note how Zappa keeps track of the `loose train` conducting the direction changes. Absolutely genius, only one audition isn`t enough, tough .
Frank took his music very seriously. His lyrics less so, although they are sometimes brilliant as well. Frank claimed that he often just added lyrics to songs because the record companies wouldn't take it otherwise. But I take this as Frank being a bit smarmy and satirical. This song is a great example of brilliant lyrics.
A classic Zappa performance and an extraordinary pair of solos. Thanks for showing/sharing this one - and making it through. I would say this is not the easiest of intros to Frank's massive discography so, well done! Note the clay-mation shown here was not really made for this song but for the movie Baby Snakes so, to me, its a major distraction from an otherwise brilliant performance.
Frank never did any drugsI He called a cup of coffee and cigarette to be a meal! I do not know if Bruce Bickford (the AMAZING claymation animator) was on anything at any time, but he had to move things a tiny and knowable distance then take another picture!
Zappa was100% against drugs. In fact a musician couldn't be in his band if he/she did drugs. Frank just had an incredible imagination and was a brilliant composer/musician/band leader. It's best not to try and figure out what his works mean. Just dig them .... and I sure do! I have been a fan right from the beginning, and if there was/is a genius in popular music, then Frank Zappa met all the qualifications ....
You Trashed Frank Zappa and his whole work in a few words, that is impressive. Not to mention this amazing band och the music and all the fans of Frank that is out there in the world.... impressive!
Bad trip music 😄 Great but not easy listened music. Try the album Overnight sensation, more rock-ish Excuse my english if it's strange (: ) Love your reactions
Nothing "jam session" about it. FZ rehearsed his band (on salary) 5 days a week for 3 months before going on tour. If you ever listen to the studio version of this song, almost every note is played just as it was in the studio. Even George Duke's ARP Odyssey, an analog synth with no patch recall, sounded exactly like the studio version, not an easy thing to do. Notice also the very fast passages played simultaneously by George Duke and Ruth Underwood, on marimba. Impossible to "jam" with such precision.
Jam session isn't a good term to use for me here, as understandably, it's taken very literal. I use it meaning they are jamming, long sections of music are played. But yeah, I need to not call it a "jam session" as that doesn't convey what I actually mean.
I think what you actually preferred was a fake analysis, one that wouldn't hurt your feelings 😅 it's OK pal, go find a video that tells you exactly what you want to hear
Zappa was a serious composer. He did use satire in his music, some humor. His catalog is vast with so many different styles.
