[superkulmedkniv25]

Some day, i'll steal that vault

[lordoid]

Leave me alone for a year in this vault.

[bigbigsound]

i like zappa but im not learning german....thats a bullet we missed 60 odd years ago .

lol

[Farksisten]

Part 1 has been taken down by WMG... Fuck them!

[fzla68]

only fantastic

[chrisptik]

it's in the wrong language



[krackfoxtube]

@chrisptik haha. nice.

[Shaytan67]

Thanks man, this is fantastic, but where is part 1??

[DaVooz]

@Shaytan67 Looked for it too. You can click it (Doogit / 25 videos) but it's banned for my country apparently (Holland).

[HEADSUPBERKELEY]

Frank Zapa is a musical Genius Bb

[Wheel83]

I don't get it.

That;s not music.

Music is much more like when you rub raw hamburger all over yourself in the shower, or when you molest small pink poodles, or when you belch into a recording device.

Thats's music.

I get it!

[mawoh]

@Wheel83

Finally.

[grenadianmed]

The German language really is one of the most unpleasant douchebaggy languages around. No offense.

[gonzodercoole]

Surely because you don't understand it ;)

[fadethetrade]

To the germans,english sounds like the most unpleasant douchebaggy language around also.

[BigKahuna93]

@fadethetrade Gotta deny that! as a german i like english

[carpetmusic]

note this is german with austrian dialect.

[DeepSeaSeamus]

i want to be a dude taht lives in a underground studio dungeon making esoteric music that nobody likes 4 my whole life.

[thegirl44]

Frank's studio wasn't in the vault (s), there is actually 3 of them, it was in the house in what would have been intended for a den.

Don't worry Seamus, if you don't get Frank's music, you weren't supposed to.

[DeepSeaSeamus]

his music rules, I wasn't being sarcastic in my comment :P

[thegirl44]

Then how come you said that nobody likes his music? I like his music. Are you and I the only ones who do? Does that mean that there is something wrong with us? Is there something horrendously unlikeable about Zappa's music that everyone else is able to pick up on but we aren't?

So many questions, running through my mind...

[DeepSeaSeamus]

I was really only speaking of his late atonal stuff (I thought I was commenting on a different doc that was about him composing that stuff but that was a different one). Its a lot like contemporary classical music, most people hate it/ don't get it and what I meant in my comment is that it would be cool to be a dude that spends all his time making art that almost nobody cares about and not give a shit/ love doing it. Most of his stuff is relatively popular though.

[thegirl44]

I've noticed with Zappa's work that albums seemed to catch on 4-5 years after they were released. Y'know after a "mainstream" artist basically ripped off whatever Frank was doing people would find the Zappa album that was the source of it all.

I don't know that Frank's instrumental and chamber music isn't liked. It may not appeal to those who purchased Sheik or Drowning Witch but I think that most Zappa enthusiasts enjoy that part of his work.

[thegirl44]

On the other hand, I've never got the impression that Frank was writing his music for us. I remember Zakk Wylde saying in a VH1 top 100 artists program that you had to be a musician to even understand FZ's stuff. It sounds kinda elitist and pompous, but I think that he was talking about the atonal work and that the quote was likely taken out of context, kinda like your comment here :).

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Ladies and gentlemen... the vault.

[Robizoid]

Souns like a pretty lame excuse to me. A documentry without a begining or ending makes no sense.

[Robizoid]

What happened to parts 1 & 6?

[LightningStrat]

Unfortunately they were removed. Why, who knows?

[itillbeme]

excuse you,not video tapes,but reel to reel audio tapes from 3m 996 1/4" to Ampex 456 2" - I did not see any video tapes at all. Zappa is a musician not an actor, well.

[Krist333111]

Whats the song Frank is singing around 3:30 or so?

[L0sendos]

Bobby Brown Goes Down

[JackassKing95]

ok people i read the book the real frank zappa book that was an autobiography that was from a interview he had and this guy made the book because frank didnt want to cause he thought books were boring but he admmitted to taking marajuana between 1962 to 1968 about ten times but he didnt like it he said it hurt his throat and made him tired

[ludy39]

Open the vault!

[GreggaryPeccary]

No, STORM the vault!

[ludy39]

Peel to be really appreciative of FZ you had to see him live (or at least zappa plays zappa)to really get it IMO

[PeelTower]

Like he liked to say: the emperor has no clothes. This shit is meaningless crap.

[GreggaryPeccary]

Oh, you're the idiot from Armenia! Hi! Why are you watching so many Zappa videos if you don't like him?

[PeelTower]

I did like him. I'm not from Armenia. I'm not an idiot.

[GreggaryPeccary]

You have strange ways of expressing your sympathy: "This shit is meaningless crap." But hey, perhaps that excites you in a weird way. The latter is definitely true, though. You are truly a bona fide idiot par excellence

[PeelTower]

Whatever you say big man.

[kenrubes]

he's an idiot because he doesn't like Zappa?

[GreggaryPeccary]

No. Mind your own business

[PeelTower]

He can comment if he wants to. This is a public forum. So, it is his business if he chooses to make it so. What's up HiggledyPiggledy, can't take any criticism. You like to dish it out but you can't take it back. Typical bully...."I'm right and any dessent is unacceptable" Just as I thought, the musical Taliban.

[GreggaryPeccary]

No, that's alright with me if you don't like him, I don't care, it's a free world. I'll explain to you why you're an idiot: You said Frank was from Armenia, which is not true. I told you that was bullshit, and you got all upset and distraught. And when people get involved who don't know what its about, I tell them to mind their own business. I could care less about going around and telling people they're idiots because they don't "get it".

P.S.: its "dissent"

[PeelTower]

Don't bother trying to explain the concept of idiocy to me...you display it perfectly well in almost everything you say. PS: "it's" has an apostophe.

[GreggaryPeccary]

Nice talking to ya

[PeelTower]

By the way, are you Armenian? hahahahaha

[GreggaryPeccary]

My god, you're witty...

[PeelTower]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[thegirl44]

Is PeelTower that "something something Stewart" douche form a while back, GP?

Incidentally, he appears to really like the word incidentally.

[GreggaryPeccary]

"something something Stewart"? Sorry, don't know what or who you're talking about.

[thegirl44]

There was a user going around with "stewart" as a part of his user name screaming about Zappa's Arabic originsand using Zappa videos as a Muslim propaganda platform. You and I both delevered words to him on another video, if I remember correctly. Thought that that user and PeelTower may have been one and the same.

[GreggaryPeccary]

No idea, might possibly be correct. Peel raved on about his supposed Armenian background for some other weird political propaganda. Perhaps he converted to Islam now

[thegirl44]

Well, I'm pretty sure, and I'm sure that you're pretty sure, that Zappa was an American. All evidence seems to point to that being the case, anyway :).

It's always good chatting with you, GP.

[chizmo7]

Then maybe you should get back to your Metallica and Hooty and the blowfish records until your ears and sense of humor have evolved to Frank's level.

Don't slam something just because you don't understand it. One day Frank will be seen as one of the great American composers.

[PeelTower]

Maybe you should entertain the possibility that there are intelligent people with differnet taste to yourself who 'get it' perfectly well and still don't like it.

I long since gave up trying to convince the musical Taliban of anything. Incidentally, of all the bands you presume I listen to, you are wrong in every case.

Incidentally, taste is subjective and to castigate others for not sharing your taste is the mark of a dimwit. I don't care if you fantasize about necrophilia with Zappa.....

[chizmo7]

Necrophilia with Zappa? Now those are the words of an intellectual for sure!

Go fuck yourself shit for brains. I think there is a Christina Aguilera concert on tonight...you better go watch it before it's over.

[PeelTower]

You know, chizmo7, you reveal your real hangup....maybe you should listen to the man when he talks about 'those who follow movements turning out to be fools' You are the one who doesn't get it sonny boy, not me. As for Christina Aguilera, I believe she is American isn't she? I prefer something by Bach. Is that 'intellectual' enough for you son?

[chizmo7]

You're probably still struggling with Bach's two part inventions. Something I played when I was 7. Face it ass wipe, you have made a fool of yourself on this page.

What do you think following Bach is? Talk about a movement! A 258 year old movement.

You think you're cool because you prefer Bach? Everybody likes Bach and is aware of his contributions to music history.

Except for probably you. You're an idiot and you need to crawl back under the rock you came out from SON. I mean BITCH.

[PeelTower]

I think Zappa was charismatic and interesting and intelligent but his music was eminently forgettable. I don't care who loved him, his music never moved me...not once.

[ludy39]

wow what a version of bobby brown 76, was the the 1st time he sang it....?

those lucky germans!

[aodscarecrow]

awesome documentary. Thanks for posting.

[myshkin67]

@cookingRock:

truetrue

i would give three of my five lefthand fingers hand to get the chance to study that vault for sum time. and i play guitar!

[0b38a9]

I'd be happier if there were english subtitles when it's narrated, but thanks for posting it!

This documentary is unbelievable!

[dubzy81]

it was a joke fucker

[franciscovaldevez]

Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix are the greatest musicians ever, the real geniuses.

[JD0x0]

I agree. But i do think Hendrix is overated. But without zappa none of my favorite guitarist would be what they are today

[numbchucking]

Sweet Jeebus that's a hell of a collection

[vapjrk]

OPEN THE VAULT!!!!

[blondifan]

RELEASE THE VAULT

[CookingRock]

Man! I nearly plotzed when I saw the "vault!"

Mein Gott im Hemmel!

[Superphilipp]

Please, spare us the mock German.

[CookingRock]

Spare mir Ihre Sarkasmus, Schwanzlutscher

[bezale]

Nice one FZ...does anyone else have sore shoulders when they hear Zappa, or is it just me?

[MuskokaLad]

are you making reference to the fact that each one of his tunes is so heavy you need a wheelbarrow to get them to your reel to reel?

[zappawazoo]

Para todo aquellos que conoceis al maestro, como para todos aquellos que serán privilegiados de conocerlo!!!!

Un Saludo!!!

[QtommyQ]

That massive vault contains a lifetime of Frank's work. Live and studio recordings. You have to understand that he was a man that built a home studio and spent 18 hours a day in it.

[Nuxunumo]

a vault of what??

[theledzeppguy]

A vault of ALL the master tapes, most of the concerts and sound checks he EVER did. Plus a

whole lot more.

[1witchshaman]

unbelievable amount of music.. what a collection!

[Shackamaxon]

Great googly moogly!! Now thats a music collection! Would be nice if somehow all this stuff made its way to the public instead of slowly deteriorating in some vault. Man this stuff is history. The family should see if the library of congress would take it.

[Firefret30003]

sweet zombie jesus, that is a BIG vault

[RonnieOfTheEarth]

you should get some more tags for this video so that its easier to find.

Great!

PEACE!

[timmo1782]

the bits they say are 1976 (bobby brown etc) are 1978, i'm sure of it..

[ianstronach]

I had the pleasure of seeing him live in London in 1988. Wonderfull

[psyed]

Frank = God

[dsgray101]

Yes, that's really all the stuff he's ever done! Also keep in mind that he was one of the first people to ever have one of the first four track recording machines. Les Paul was the other.

[electricbody]

Fantastique !

[unabobby]

What really get's me is just how right Frank was take the song Flakes how many of us have had alot of that really happen to us .

[captspacemonkey]

thats most of his vault Warner Bro's took controll of most of it but he won a court case in the late 70's to get all his tapes back, their still finding new stuff all the time

[zombywoof101]

I like the version of Son of Mr. Green Genes :D

eat a grape a fig a crumpet too xxx

[Firefret30003]

is that vault all the music and videos he's ever done?

[Mungo10]

My understanding is that there are three vaults. Most of the material has not been released.
