Frank Zappa - Lost Interview - Message to the Future

[aristotle358]

I watched the whole interview in the installments 1-7 plus ending. It was enjoyable for me as a Zappa appreciator. Thanks for uploading.

[zappalives]

Great interview. I loved every bit of it. Many thanks to the person who posted this !! It gives me hope to see that younger people follow the man, his music, his opinions. I "discovered" Frank in 1973, was 13 at the time, and found his ideas and his music to be a great and important complement to my formal education.

[SonnyREast]

Frank lit a smoke for a friend back when you could smoke on planes.

It was a lighter shaped like a ship and the flame came out the exhaust stack.

[HiGhLiKeAlLaDin]

My father roomed with Frank Zappa in hollywood earlier in his career.

[lotofhate]

he reminds me of a young billy connolly lol

[superkulmedkniv25]

iiieeeuuueehuuuueh... ...wuuh.

[MusicThatDoesNotSuck]

Information is not knowledge

Knowledge is not wisdom

Wisdom is not truth

Truth is not beauty

Beauty is not love

Love is not music

Music is Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa is the best

[noodlesmealey]

three thousand. backteria... the fifth sun of horus? or the fifth reich? the ending of thefourth? or the kingdom of the one true God he knows he wont be a part of?

[vexamatic]

He loves how clever he thinks he is.

[MOSSIBANKS79]

@vexamatic he's pretty clever- like you.

[THESLICKNESSEDM]

[banez]

[raluboon]

Thanks for posting these. I wish it were longer, but thanks to people like you, there is plenty of this stuff to watch here.

[shaydie]

Do you hear all the BUTT SUCKERS laughing? Zappa was funny, but that one was not that funny

[Jornev]

I find this video contagious.

[firehorseusa]

i belive that the frank is still among us and i belive you can find zappa somewhere in the universe as we know it, unless religous belifes have limited you join the movment keep kids away from religion and teach responsible behaviors torward anyting alive.

[aNdYmAtTeR]

hahaha

oh, fuck, the world needs a new FZ-oid!

[Hwy2guitars]

BAHahahaha....  ROFL!

[RickSpyder]

Brilliant man. May we all learn from his fearless ideas and personal integrity. If even ONE contemporary politician could be 10% like FZ

America would stand a chance. But it won't so  . . . Duck and Cover.

[Hexwind]

Thanks for uploading these awesome, rare, and very informative stuff !

Frank Zappa is more than a genius musician, he should have written a book about his ideas and views on various topics.

[dingles69]

@Hexwind

he did write a book. It's called "The Real Frank Zappa Book" Very informative AND hilarious. I highly recommend it.

[ratbatblu]

Thank you for not only posting this, but for interviewing him in the first place. Definitely one of the best I've seen him do.

[TheBratzor]

Excellent musician and composer AND he was really smart. What a loss!

[Rajhoul]

Frank's right.

People succumb to irrational fear that eliminates their reasoning abilities.

[biporio]

I disagree.

[sexymagik1981]

that was very funny !

[limeiulia]

I have been glued for the last 40+mins. What a way to finish it off....Quality!!!!!!!!! What a guy.

[PersonalJesus348]

I laughed so hard

[Perlizh]

awesome interview....he was too good for this world

[Daubster]

Great interview. Cheers for uploading these! :]

[bigperson666]

i think he posessed me. or hes really good at connecting with people.

[danicrazyfingers]

Great interview. What a character!

[LightningStrat]

LOL. :D

[PneRobinho619]

He's irreplaceable, I'm glad I found out about him; I'm less than 20 years old and I'm already missing him.

[Defsolid]

@PneRobinho619 there are still people like him, but you gotta look for them cuse there's very little chance you'll hear about them on mainstream media especially the ones who aren't artists.

[52appaZ]

Thanks for posting these Niles. Thank you Frank

[m2kno1]

This last part is absolutely precious.... love you frank

[iouakick]

[fl0yde]

[scorpiosview]

god the worlds not the same without frank zappa...

[thebeardedjohn]

Thanks friend for uploading it.

[squanto2]

Moo-aaAAA!!!!

[boondawgle]

Any guesses on the three quarter?

[TheNilesLeshProject]

3/4 refers to a video tape format that was popular at the time of this interview(also know as Umatic). Its quality was superior to VHS, and it was the standard operating procedure to give a guest a copy of the show on a 3/4 cassette tape.

Thanks for commenting

Niles

[moproducer]

A 3/4" dub was given to an interview subject when obligations to the subject included creative control of the final edit. The 3/4" tape included visible timecode (VTC) and vertical interval timecode (VITC). The former is a visual reference of the SMPTE timecode recorded on the camera-original tape; the latter a datastream of the same timecode, processable by computer videotape editing devices. This allowed the subject to preapprove' the content of the interview.

[moproducer]

@moproducer (More) Nowadays, a VTC-windowed DVD is usually given to the subject for viewing at leisure and marking numbers of desired and "don't use" comments. Lately, as I've done, more folks use an online video exchange service (such as Sorenson 360) to post footage and allow for timecode-referenced comments via internet. Sounds a bit like YouTube, eh?

[OKandNOWwhat]

@TheNilesLeshProject

We used to record CD masters onto U-matics as well as use them for synchronizing audio to video (because U-matics have three audio tracks) before the computer replaced all physical pre-production methods. Cheers

Thanks for posting this.

[analyzingfunny]

@TheNilesLeshProject  ty, i was wondering

[franciscovaldevez]

Frank Zappa is comparable to Einstein.

Frank Zappa is the best.

[leofrankfurter]

Frank Zappa =EinsteinC2

[chaoticfutility]

You still lack the ability to distinguish rationality and intuition. To state equality so flippantly gives a prime example of why the world is the way it is today; infered proof and individual truth.

[p165711]

@franciscovaldevez

Oh come on be serious! FZ was good and could be profound, but he could also be an asshole. I miss him and I think the world sorely misses him. But a comparison to Einstein? No way, Einstein struggled with bar chords and flately refused to go electric....

[mlawren7]

@franciscovaldevez Yes, they both had a moustache.

[semtex2you]

nice. a huge interview

[videotuna]

do you know of what year or on what date this interview was conducted in?

[TheNilesLeshProject]

Circa 1991 for an end of the century special that featured influential people of the 20th century.

only a small portion of this interview was used

[videotuna]

thanks for posting it,

what a great interview!

ZAPPA IS THE BEST....!

[esthercaulfield]

So good.
