- A two and half hour collection, of Frank Zappa interviews.
For years I've been into franks music, and of course all his great views on society.
It's a shame he had to leave us at the age of 52.
I think the world should benefit from his wisdom, and incredible sense of humor!
When you look at the world situation as it is at the moment, I'm really happy for the success, this video has had so far, and it leads me to think that, there's still hope.
I'm planning on doing some more videos on frank and will get to it as soon as possible.
If you're new to frank, I hope you'll be able to see the world from a deferent view and hopefully apply some of it, to your own life.
On behalf of frank, I'd like to say thank you for watching.

It's like a playlist of good ideas.
It’s 2020 and we need someone like Frank around more than ever
Agreed! 💯😎
Even more in 2021.
Yes death to progressive socialist democracys of the United States of America..
Yes so more cocaine fires can burn los Angeles down to the Ground..lol..Frank zappa would just love gangster rapper music..cause it creates death.. depression..and frustration..ohhh.. anarchy never felt so good...mean while..in a little small country outside of the United States of America...someone is drinking coffee and painting happy trees..and smoking marjauana.lol
Read Suzanne white the new astrology book and find out who you are..yoho
Listening to Larry King interview Frank is like watching your 90 year old grandfather trying to land the space shuttle
You hit the nail on the head
Larry King sucks. So many overpaid hacks interviewed FZ on TV for years and they all asked the same stupid kids names question.
Lol! But so true!
😆Fantastic... not many interviewers could handle him!
ROFL, indeed, I had no idea he did this, now I like him a LOT less ;P
"in todays world of situational ethics if you pound your fist and say that's wrong that could be funny" will never forget that
One of the most intelligent and forward thinking individuals to walk the Earth--the much misunderstood, Frank Zappa. A realistic person in the here and now--always.
❤
For Frank Zappa the 80s must have been a horrible decade, and I understand him totally. RIP Frank and please come back one day!
Hé liked technologie.
One of the smartest men ever to walk the earth. RIP, brother
If he were european he'd only score above average/high in intelligence
Frankly speaking
Lol
You could be talking about anything from penguins to soil samples and someone is still gonna make it into a conversation about race. 🤦🏻♂️
@@aluandjalal1324 *sigh* Are we really doing phrenology?
Frank Zappa's insightful and considered thoughts/comments are still so relevent today. Thank you for this upload.
I don't get what you see in this guy
@@mikeyy1955 He’s an acquired taste. He was humorous and a very sharp observer and critic of events and evolution of society.
He saw over time very frightening changes which, and he predicted this, have placed us on the brink of a coup d’etat of “The West”.
I forgot to mention his music. Most people who know little about him think very different things about FZ’s musical art than those who love it. A very accessible & untypical piece is “Watermelons in the hay”. My favourite version of that is by his son, Dweezil, in London 2013.
Search “Watermelons in the hay, London 2013”.
He had several genres he liked a lot, none of which overlap what classifies as “Popular music”.
The last of the greats. This guy was honestly so natural it almost hurt watching him sometimes. Absolute one-off muso and human.
Honesty in flesh and word and all.
My best surfing trips were spent listening to uncle Frank. My hardest subjects were studied to listening to uncle Frank. I thought he wrote Jo’s garage just for my 18th birthday. That album was my favourite.
Zappa makes everything better😊
Great collection. Looking back, we should regret not giving Zappa more attention.
President wouldn't have been enough. Master of the Universe is Zappa.
Frank is hilarious and so smart.
Thank you, Media Collection. FZ was very willing to be asked questions and I cannot remember him not answering a reasonable question. He was pretty good at clipping stupid or trick questions to the outfield. Modify, if he didn’t answer, it was (as an example) because to pick out a band played a lot on American radio as “terrible music” would just be gratuitous.
On most other things, he has an opinion. An understatement! For example:
“There are certain functions in a society you’d like to be able to rely on. I’d like to be able to rely on a doctor to fix you up, a dentist maybe to fix your teeth, maybe a lawyer to help you with things that are really legal, an honest judge, all these things, they’re gone, folks, they’re all gone”.
He was always worth listening to.
Zappa was/is The Best! Very intelligent, very articulate, very enjoyable.
frank zappa = genius
I'm so grateful to FZ to have enlighted my way when I was around 18.
I was 16 when Mr.Zappa enlighted my life.
One of the Greatest Geniuses of ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I admire him. I named my dachshund Zappa (because I love my dog and it's a cool sounding name so not at all to make fun). Frank Zappa is truly one of a kind. Nobody is like him these days...
Arf!
what a coincidence i just got an ad for a parental censoring app.
ahhh the irony
jacob kabay - It's no coincidence. Consume!
Frank is a genius
A real genius
I wish he was here today to talk about all the crap that he warned us about.
He did ! Prophet
Yup he did say going down the right wing republican way would take the usa to fascism or worse. Wonder what he'd say about Donald duck,,,,,,, sorry Trump
Or "social justice" movements
Actually he help bring in the culture destruction of America..lol
@@billyengerson3697 you are joking of course?
“A type of flute”.... Dude, took me a second.. 😂
24:40 How hilarious is that? He effortlessly took over the interview at its conclusion. LMAO... Man, do I miss this guy.
Thank you from Europe for this upload. This man was so relevant and is greatly missed.
Frank was and will always be one of the most important people to me. He did things with his life that have had the biggest impact on my life. He would be a massive force to be reckoned with today. He wanted people to just be themselves and he wanted to create music that would be universal. Beyond that, he was hilarious. He was the reason I found comedy and loved music so much.
Thank you immensely sir for putting this video together. It is really important for us and for future generations. Frank's ideas and socio-political critique are even more relevant and inspiring today.
Why? He never made a good album and it was always other peoples fault according to him. Maybe he just didn't have what it took so he complained. Like Donald Trump
@@mikeyy1955 Sir you expose yourself as a moron both politically and musically. Try listening to the lyrics as hyperbole with a dash irony and to politics with a dash of reality and successful policy.
Your socialist and witless professors are the ones couldn't do "it" and so complain about everyone else. Free your mind don't worry about anyone else's level of talent improve your own!
@@mikeyy1955 He was first and foremost a live artist. He was most of his career not signed up to a major label. You surely knew that.
So the task of making a studio album is rather an odd one. And he’d have to finance it all at risk of bankruptcy if sales were disappointing. Another way of putting it is that he was a narrow taste so big selling records was never in the cards.
what a Legend!!
45:33 Frank would have been an incredible host on tv. he is absolutely hilarious
"Rated R, for 'repression'".
Love you Frank, and Dweezil is still an excellent guitarist.
Brilliant compilation thanks for this. Oh man i miss frank i loved him like a brother, his music was like a cross between a pan dimensional Mozart and Einstein all rolled into one. Where his ideas came only he knows but the musicians he chose to realise his vision were amongst the most talented of every generation he touched. There is so much alien beauty in his music so much of the human condition. I don't want to prejudice any other generation of composer like him or musicians but over his lifespan he found so many and created so much i can hardly imagine a period like it nor him again.!
The people's prophet.
47:58 "It's rated PG, so it's ok... for your parents to watch"
Over two hours of listening to the rare American who’s actually sane. Thank you, Frank Zappa.
Thanks for editing this together.
11:53 That smile is so precious.
An absolute pleasure to watch this and listen to the genius of a man 😎👂😇💯👏
One of the the best compliments I have ever gotten was that my lyrics are like Zappa Although I never really listened to his music much. RIP
Frank was one of the greatest composures of all time..i hate that I didn't get into his music sooner in life. I was too busy wasting my mind on rotten supply and demand art that was here for today and gone tomorrow..
Miss you Zappa..
That must have been horrid!. I was fortunate in that my dad was an old hippy weed dealer & as such was exposed to as much as one could. You poor man, your youth sounds like a nightmare! Nothing but mainstream pop? ,do your ears still bleed?
er har mich ... er hat uns ... ALLE so wesentlich beeinflußt und er ist mir einer meiner wichtigsten LEHRMEISTER geworden... DANKE FRANK ZAPPA in Deiner musikalischen UNendlichkeit, in der Du Dich befindest... und es ist so schön, Du hast soviel hinterlassen, mit 50 LEBENSJAHREN:.... wie kein anderer... und wärest DU der AMERIKANISCHE PRÄSIDENT geworden... so hättest Du DIE LIEBE GEPREDIGT:
How I wish you were here!
The Movie Channel snippets are pure gold.
"Rated PG, or gene pool backwards." 😆😆😆
This video compilation is fantastic! I had not seen a lot of this before.
I could not watch this with a straight face, Zappa really was a comedian
47:30 Just hearing Frank mentioning Stanley Kubrick by name is very satisfying
Rest in peace two legends
Hell yeah smoke crack.
A treasure trove!! Thank you.
I suspect Frank would have completely been in his element taking on the major media personalities. He was intelligent, articulate, and outspoken. If the media wasn't such a corporate dumpster fire, I think a show hosted by Frank Zappa would have been right up his alley.
Réponse à quoi ?
Frank Zappa is a Brilliant Musician/Composer, also one of my favorite musician. He’s my Biggest Musical Inspiration. I make Instrumental music inspired by Zappa!
is it also DMT inspired? if so send me a demo
Imagine Frank with access to the media network that exists now ?
Great work❤
Got to love Frank
Thank you for you effort on this, seriously!
Thanks so very much for posting.!
Thank you for putting this together.
Awesome!
amazing collection . i hadn't seen many of these!
i agree totally! great upload thanks
Insight and forecast for 2021 and beyond. Bravo!
F Yes! Thank you SO much for making this compilation
Every time Frank coughs, it reminds me why he left our side and it hurts.
@Neil Jones what? he died of colon cancer? so unless he was smoking them rectaly...? he often said smoking was like food for him..tobacco was his fav vegetable! lols and as a smoker myself i can relate to this.
@@thetoneknob4493 he died of prostate cancer
He didn't die from smoking...
He died from pancreatic cancer
Simply Epic
Miss him. Gone are the days of seeing a 'rock' star casually strolling down the street the morning before the nights show at Winterland with the Mothers. Thank God for S.F.
Thanks for Uploading this and Cheers to your effort for putting it out :)
I'm happy you liked it.
Frank was a very clever man.
The world deserves to listen to him.
Take care :)
Media Collection
Frank Zappa was fantastic, intelligent, ironic in a polite way (therefore unstoppable), which makes me wish, we could have artists like that in today's world! Avoiding the industry and still being great, with a knowledge that the consequences will be earning less money but could look in the mirror and feel honest. Adorable Man.
Frank resented that his passion in life had been reduced to pure product and dollar signs by people who didn't care for it and we're willing to turn it into such things.
Agreed
Frank was phony as Donald Trump
The freest person ever, left us much too soon
yes Hi Frank
- Did you like the beatles music ?
- A few songs, most of it I didn't like.
Finally someone sharing my sensibility towards the beatles !
Yeah, he's always been as much a condescending prick as he is a great musician. No rock band is any good except his. Of course.
Psychedelic_Psychedeler Growing up I LOVED the Beatles. Later in life inLOVED Frank
Kiss are another, overblown hype for so-so music.
@@hurricanesteve65 by who? The band themselves?
@@HakanTunaMuzik Yeah it seems society is fine with hating on Classical or Jazz, and they do not make the connection between investment of time, to equip their brain and ears with the skills needed to appreciate music of a higher calibre. People just want music that requires little to no effort on their part, and provides instant shallow gratification.
"it is a type of flute"
Genius!
I read the book numerous times since I bought it. Ask anything about it. I will answer in Franks words of conceptual continuity.
I love this man, Frank Zappa. Interestingly, tho, as smart as he was, he didn't know the importance of caring rightly for his health. He smoked cigarettes, which doubtless contributed to his prostate cancer--which killed him. Of course, there are always other factors in the development of chronic degenerative diseases, like the stresses he was under for work, travel, etc. I wish he had known about that. He was a creative genius and had a brilliant mind that would be very useful to the world nowadays.
That frank never got to know the spiritual side of Hallucinogens, he never got to hear himself & other music by the boundaries he set himself regarding mind expanding substances ,Not coke or smack but peyote, or psilocybin. I believe this is what gave Hendrix such an edge. But he chose to chain smoke in the hope that maybe he might reach Nirvana tonight with less oxygen going to his brain. Still remains one of my top 3 artists. Have you heard king kong tripped off your face?
@@markbritton6798 Yup... Interesting drugs vs. Boring drugs !!!
His cancer was not related to smoking, and neither was Neil Peart's...
Zap was ahead of is time
@media collection: u got 100 subscribers! congratz!!
Terrific human being...
Yes Frank was opinionated and arrogant. He wasn't afraid to speak the truth. For that reason He should be respected. He was obviously funny and talented in all his endeavors. I remember the beginning of MTV. I remember that it did all of the things that Frank said it would. We lost the ability to listen to the music. In the pure form. We forgot how to LISTEN at all.
@Media Collection
I was turned on to him during one of the few worthwhile classes in college that year that he died. He would have been about 80 today and an elder that should have survived.
But, in 52 years he was extremely prolific, even outside of music and to live to 80-90 years might have been torture for him.
I agree. He would be disappointed by his decline.
Me and my buddy kyron rocked in novato to this guy...
An extremely condescending, arrogant and unfriendly guy in regards to his fans, but still kind-of-a-genious in his own right. He even did coke with Black Sabbath, so he's kinda two-faced, but a great entertainer. RIP Frank Xxx
Frank is an open room always -- open ya mind
Zappa/Carlin 2024. Gentlemen, please come back and pay us a visit sometime. My God, we miss you.
30 years ago , this inteligent man was saying "stay away from drugs, but make them legal" . Abslutely true and right. Do them, just don´t do tehm while your operating someone or driving a bus... just like with alcohol... like, commom sense shit. He knew already back then that drugs are harmfull when they´re ilegal, since ilegal they still are around. Common sense. He´s stone in most interviews, but it´s weed and he´s not driving nor operating someones heart or liver... And, like the excelent Joker that he was (see historical genuine Joker purppose-not to entertain the king at all, but to ground him...) his irony, sarcasm ans satire are perfect and educated and polite. We never needed real Jokers like we do now, and we have a few, in the form of stand up comedians with real social critique. Hicks, carlin, Burr, Tosh, etc...Stand up comedy- with these real joker types, not the bs comedians- needs to be put in a place of relevance on mainstream, somehow. The politically corrctness is a weapon of censorship. Smash it!
You're not just "on" to something, my friend. You nailed it.
Wow well said. If people aren't free too speak their mind, they will speak with violence. This new radical left doesn't understand the difference between liberal and leftism. Leftism is CLOSED MINDED, promotes VIOLENCE, and stifles FREE SPEECH. It is Totalitarianism!
I am about to believe that legalise drugs (specialy marijuana) is a typical political correct thing to say these days. Anyone with a brain would not legalise that stuff. Look at some inner city`s in Europe like Amsterdam; it is hell on earth for a regular person who is not on drugs. Becourse of its semi legalaty and easy acses; it became "the!" atraction for anyone who wants it in his "livestile." Starts living of that industry. By fooling, stealing, and not be abel to deal with a regular normal working society as being constantly under its influance. Everything in Amsterdam is a hashish decision; a whole city center (expanding) commercialy in to the dope game. Also the so called progressives in parliament, KLM (Dutch Royal Flying Assholes) even if there is no witch- hunt on dealers or users the overall anarchie around the phenomenom atracts the wrong kind of people from allover the world. Made Amsterdam the wurst city to visit if you don`t wanne use the stuff still thrown at you and won`t be abel to avoid it. It is to much, wurs than alcohol and dope is sickeningly in most part of the city.
Weed worse than alcohol? You're joking.
All good thoughts except frank only smoked weed a handful of times & never liked it.
For me the greatest musician ever !!!
HOLY FUCK FRANK ZAPPA WAS A BAD ASS!!!!
blobs of low end mung..that's funny ! describing his analogue tapes .
Studio Jargon
it is funny that such a smart man didn't know that a Christmas tree comes in a drainage pan, so the holes were meant to be there...guess not a gardener but a damn genius, without a doubt, and a humble one at that.
Can't fux wit da zappanator!!
@2:20:02 he's talking about mats & morgan :D
Interviewer at 1:50:09 looks exactly like matthew mcconoughey in dallas buyers club
Frank Vincent Zappa[1] (Baltimore, Maryland; 21 de diciembre de 1940-Los Ángeles, California; 4 de diciembre de 1993) fue un compositor, guitarrista, cantante, productor discográfico y director de cine estadounidense. Con una carrera de más de treinta años, Zappa compuso rock, jazz, blues, electrónica, música artística y música concreta, entre otros. También trabajó como director de cine y de videoclips, y diseñó portadas de álbumes. Además, se encargó de la producción de los más de sesenta álbumes que grabó con The Mothers of Invention y en solitario.[2]
While " Eat That Question " was a good FZ experience ( especially if you are a new Zappa fan ), it totally missed the mark with Frank being an American Composer ( as well as an extremely beyond talented editor, songwriter, commentator and guitarist ). This composite is a MUCH BETTER edit. Thanks for the upload!
The master of common horse sense. RIP Frank.
Frank Zappa,. Great character
49:23... Yeah, this is great, but I need some QOTSA right now.
If not for his political predictions (although I sympathize with his political views, his predictions were dead wrong), he was right about everything. Damn, and to think that the pendulum was to the religious right during Zappa's life and now its momentum couldn't be more to the atheistic left.
Umm... both have swung. The left hasn't changed tack, they are just being portrayed as more radical, where the right has taken up political causes and radical politics, much more than could have been tolerated even when the right had a particle of credibility.
I never really cared for Zappas music but I always like Frank Zappa as a person, he had some interesting things to say and was very insightful.
His music grew on me. Through the ears and the years it gets stronger and opened me up for more genres music. I'm very thankful for the guy that introduced me to Zappa. We're musicians. I love Zappa.
why did my license expire? Only one on this planet... ever
Frank had the patience of a saint. If I had to be civil to all those talking head fools in the media, I'd end up strangling one of them.
I wonder what he'd think of UA-cam and being able to put music/art out without the corporate gatekeepers he detested (albeit there are new ones)
If only he’d have lived to see Patreon. He could have all the funds he needs for touring and producing, and never have to worry about accepting corporate sponsorship, or any of the elements of the business he hated..
So how did the corporate hatred workout while working with US congress?!..
Genuine Question not attempt at clever contrarian?...
Frank could’ve used social media to become president, although big brother would’ve never ever allowed him to be sworn in
Where are the remastered M. O. I. albums Frank talked about on Letterman?
They came put, but lots of added stuff. Original masters were in poor shape.
Based on the first interview with Larry King regarding the TV time slot issue I can surmise that Mr. Zappa was smart enough to see the flaws in democracy. A bit like, though I'm not saying they're similar people, Aleister Crowley noted fascism, communism, democracy to all be farces. I wonder what Frank thought about monarchism or if he ever said much about it?
YES, HE PASSED-AWAY WAY TOO SOON...REMEMBERING FRANK When he produced GRAND FUNK RAILROAD's GOOD SINGIN"GOOD PLAYIN"LP!!! IT WAS A GREAT LP!!!!!!
Great album I really like pass it around
Wow, Larry really tried to bust Franks balls here, but Frank was super smart as always!!!
