Frank Zappa On Acid

[barryvig]

this is Steve Vai...not Zappa

[martinotagliani]

man this song is pure awesome

dont really care if it is zappa or not

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

Lacking that classic mid range sound from the orchestra instruments...Raise the bass up a little, too like FLEA

[horowizard]

So many idiots out there think they know what Zappa is all about and whoever posted this is no exception. It is beyond pathetic.

[Frisbieinstein]

I know Zappa's voice, and this isn't him. Frank had a nasal tone no one else has. It's someone imitating the way he talked.

Great guitar solo! Steve Vai.

[esjayr1]

SUCH BULLSHIT



[MrGranousty]

Ohh yeah! I check my post, So I must sleep!

Acttally, it's 4:15 AM here...

sorry ;)

[MrGranousty]

I was just kidding, but as a senior I can say that acid is a good thing for certain persons, and we are "initiated" (i don't know if the verb is right, I'm one of those little frenchie) (LOL) and really stoned actually, but, about trips, I'll never tell actual youth it could be good for them, as they FZ, they're "dumb all over"!

Scuse me while I kiss my bed sheets :)

Too much that "grow your own" sativa from amsterdam..

[Kelkat66]

This is off of Steve Vai's Flex-able Leftovers...and I do believe that is Frank's vocal on this. Tommy Mars also did some vocals for Frank and Steve...so...but yeah...this song is off of a Steve Vai's Flex-able Leftovers.

[Goryllo]

not frank zappa

[acomposer4U]

For those mentally deficient haters of this tune and title, "Frank Zappa on Acid" is just a manner of speaking. NOT the song title. Frank Zappa would FULLY approve of the vid, tune, AND the words chosen HERE to title the VID and tune. He would not give ONE shit about having this vid aired with its correct name HERE. The FACT is that the tune is GREAT and the vid is GREAT, If you disliking IDIOTS can't get past that then go fuck yourself, because you are in GREAT need of a fucking.

[gnowave]

and not only is it NOT frank , but frank NEVER TOOK DRUGS excepting blacj coffee and nicotine.

[Krazlo]

Which song is that?

[gnowave]

@Krazlo not frank

[sheltech12]

clearly an homage to the master , and a fine one it is

[sokouki]

Genial me encanta no lo puedo creer!

[TylerVanner]

FRank has a lot to do with this song. Frank was Steve Vai's mentor and tutor. And this is quite plainly a tribute to Frank Zappa.

[loveshackartandphoto]

Don't need acid for a great trip, just looking at this AMAZING ART is a trip.

[24kGoldenRocket]

@bubafoo Frank Zappa was against the use of drugs. He died of cancer from smoking Winstons.

[theoriginaljeffro]

There is no Frank Zappa anywhere on this video page. YOU should go fuck yerself. Please.

[BigNeonGlitterGirl]

@theoriginaljeffro....... weird because I just "heard" him.

[groovysherrie65]

That was fucking awesome!!!

[LURED60]

Niente a che vedere con Frank Zappa nè con il suo genere di musica..ma che video! E' Steve Vai

[Big77Jim]

Frank had the attitude thats for sure.He will be missed.This song is nasty but it makes some good points.I dont like the anti drug thing but to each his own.

[pakondroid]

fock off!!!



[Nautilus1972]

I'm glad I did acid. It helped me realise that we really were all just facets of the one true consciousness and that wasn't just hippy talk. It helps you lay new circuitry in your right brain hemisphere. Just leave it be once you've turned on ...

Peace

[ReinyGreen]

@Nautilus1972 Hippie!

[Erroneous313]

Dig the tune, dig the visual..........FANTASTIC!

[Keeyser00]

Hey , fuck you!! Haha

[rhkendall]

Acid takes away your legs! plus side! it gives you a wheel instead..

[bubafoo]

yeah frank zappa didnt do drugs, neither did steve vai, however, steve vai didnt eat for a period of time for the potenated dreams and then he wrote songs about the dreams he had.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@bubafoo He didn't even do drugs and he's got more brains than any of the shit in the charts now.

Truely an original and never said sorry for anything.

[bubafoo]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 well frank zappa was actually a avid coffee drinker and cigarette smoker, plus he stayed awake for days working on music, all of that probably had to do with why he died, the human body can only take so much, and this man drank looooaaaaads of coffee. I dont get why this video is called frank zappa on acid because he was very much against the usage of drugs. I think hes kind of a hypocrite to say people on drugs act like assholes and he doesnt like to be around them.

[MjXllcommando]

@bubafoo he also used to roll around in mercury when he was a kid and make homemade bombs out of chemicals he found around the house, seriously read his auto biography its pretty clear why he died young. Cigarrettes+assorted chemicals+lack of sleep leads to that. and toneshards, LSD came from the military.

[Sevlenski]

to be fair, there are a lot of people who have done acid who still think its like this.............

[adycohen]

Oy ...Vai ....Zmir....



[hamjamnspamalot2]

Frank was acid when it came to fools, dancing or not. He didn't need to take acid. We still miss you Frank, your Guitar Needs To Kill That Gaga.

[pecne]

Zappa never did drogs!

[Sygorg]

good one!

[DerrickTheFork]

Frank Zappa was very anti-drug by the way. Look it up.

[Tenebroso92]

bass tabs are so good..

[ChurchOSkatan]

This is a hilarious Steve Vai song!

[MrsWidlak]

LMFAO, Alright Zappa! Frank Zappa for President!!!!

[maniacz13]

Great song. Zappa and Vai had amazing musical chemistry. I'm trying to find that clay animation video that Zappa did for one of his songs -- can't remember which tune it was though..

[furman22]

@maniacz13 Zappa use Bickford claymation on several songs-- Search for Baby Snakes or Mr Bickford

[scavengerofdeath22]

@maniacz13 WATCH BABY SNAKES!!!!!

[hazelmorrison]

SINESTESIA!!

[coolrockinmolly]

Zappa never did do drugs you dumb ass.

[hrdguita]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[devolve42]

1. This is not Frank Zappa

2. Frank Zappa relentlessly mocked people who used drugs.

[SWEETBABYCUM]

i love drugs:)

[FZmustacheFZ]

Frank Zappa never took acid. Go away.

[achemachew]

@FZmustacheFZ Yeah, Zappa didn't like drugs. He smoked pot like 10 times before he decided it made him lazy and un-motivated. He just stuck to his coffee, Winston cigarettes, and sometimes beer.

[un4given4]

@FZmustacheFZ come on man... of course he did ;) maybe not as much as others but...

[FZmustacheFZ]

@un4given4 um, no, he didn't. first of all, this isn't zappa, but anyway. thats besides the point. just because your music doesnt sound like pop shit and is actually interesting and requires some thought to understand doesnt mean that the composer decided to do acid. get your facts straight.

[MrsWidlak]

@un4given4 NO ZAPPA DID NOT TAKE ANY DRUGS, DID NOT EVEN DRINK ALCOHOL. GET IT STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU POST BULLSHIT.

[yellowflashy]

@MrsWidlak Before insulting people you should get it straight. Zappa was indeed anti drugs, but he did drank alcohol. There's interviews on youtube with him saying he's drinking whisky in order to improve his voice because he had a cold. Also if you read any of his autobiographs you oughta know Zappa was known for his 'Margerita evenings' on Fridays at Casa del Zappa.

[Tenebroso92]

Hawe somewone tabs for this song?

[garzaasdasd]

acidacidacidasdasdasdasdasd

[droboyzexclusive]

why do people who havent done acid think its like this?

[silasoldo7]

@droboyzexclusive great observation!!! thanks for laughs.

[rgaleny]

@droboyzexclusive I agree, but I never too the LSD 25 popular back then. I have never hallucinated myself but it effects people in different ways. Still, It became a trend and a visual language. Perception affected by drugs as art. Surreal Psyche-poetic. It's different in words. What then might be your take?

[southrules]

@droboyzexclusive

It's not "like this" BUT this would be a mind fuck on acid.

[acidoacidoacido]

@droboyzexclusive ignorance daaa

[24kGoldenRocket]

@droboyzexclusive Obviously you are experienced IF you know that it is NOT like this. This is not really all that good to advertise. You are writing, "Mr. DEA man, Pleeez come to my door and bust me because I use LSD...DUH!!!" Think about what you publically post...ESPECIALLY admitting that you have violated the law.

[droboyzexclusive]

@24kGoldenRocket youre a retard. thats all there is to it. hey mr dea man i love to trip, and i dont stop at every stop sign. come get it bruh

[willeng84]

@droboyzexclusive Because they are immature fools, they think they will talk to smurfs or something. I happen to not care what they think, they are equally as lame as this song.....TERRIBLE.

[gnowave]

@droboyzexclusive because they've never done it and dont know that frank zappa didnt either

[droboyzexclusive]

@gnowave you right

[MrGranousty]

@droboyzexclusive Take a trip, watch this, and tell me your opinion ;) 63Y.O., hundreds of blotters or any kind of acid, still alive, and well (just a bit deaf, 'cause I "play it loud"...

[droboyzexclusive]

@MrGranousty i cant trip while looking at stuff, i just get all clammy and depressed. i see how this would look cool but i always chose being outdoors or dosing with good friends and being our own entertainment. 18yo whole sheet at least, and finding my way in the world with some occasional help from lucy . keep playing it loud brother

[SWEETBABYCUM]

HEY GUYS ANSWER ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SWEETBABYCUM]

WHAT INAME OF THE SONG?



[therealCanablisS]

@SWEETBABYCUM type the lyrics in google thats wut i do when i cant find a song any other way

[PeaceLoveGuitar11]

@SWEETBABYCUM fuck yourself by steve vai

[ThePaulpFiction]

How did this song get past the censors?

[t00g00ds0n]

@ThePaulpFiction FUCK the censors!

[GoAtY360]

Just wanted to let you know that Frank Zappa never took drugs in his life. You fagget. He only smoked cigarettes and drank coffee. Although his music sounds like drug inspired songs, he was using satire and comedy in his music to pown censorship on public radio stations. You can go die for making this video. It's not even him too btw

[swallowthemind]

Firstly; It's not actually zappa, at all.. It's Steve Vai and more to the point, Zappa is a bit more articulate then just saying "Fuck yerself" he has an actual point to what he says 60% of the time. Secondly; Zappa never ever ever ever ever ever did Acid! He tried pot, but it gave him a sore throat. That's it. Zappa wasn't into drugs, he smoked cigarettes and he drank coffee.

[DrummerDave1001]

wooooooooooooooooooah this is so funny and amazing

[nnndIT]

this would make eminem blush. Frank was a great guital player so I don't know about Vai being involved.

[containznutzrule]

This is so weird...

[davethecaveman]

the zappa / vai combo was a wicked one at that

[Flypool]

two fails in one.... 1st, this is Steve Vai.... 2nd, Zappa hated drugs

[Jonnyreb1988]

Frank Hated Drugs, fool!

[Rikk303]

Frank could put some spank into this ditty

[wheresmaaki]

This is actually a Steve Vai song from the album Flexable leftovers.....Frank Zappa has nothing to do with this song!

[MrGranousty]

@wheresmaaki Are you sure ? Is there atranslation vocoder from SV to FZ voice ? Who gives the fuck anyway, it's made by two genius !

[Neweddy24]

@wheresmaaki Except that it's totally his voice. He's rapping on it. I'd say that's something.

[awsomemotherfucker]

@wheresmaaki zappa produced this version a remake of the original

[hippyhama]

@wheresmaaki

done in the style of zappa for sure, but absolute has nothing to do with frank.

[pulsarcolosal]

@wheresmaaki that makes more sense when he says "f yourself from the world wide web"

[southrules]

@wheresmaaki

Apparently he sang the song so he did have "something to do with it"

[wheresmaaki]

@southrules , Steve sings it as well!

[tamaxandru]

@wheresmaaki he is is Zappa's pupil

[wheresmaaki]

@tamaxandru He was but if that is what they are referencing it is very misleading.

[Ihatebrendon]

I fuck myself on a daily basis. When it comes to fucking I aint racist. When I fuck myself I think of you and when you're cumin Im cumin too. fuck you kids and your fucking kids Why the fuck do they remind me of shit If you liked my lyrics I got some more. Just bend over and you'll get what you've been waiting for. Most of all fuck pop music. give a rapper a vibrator and he'll show you how to use it. If masturbating was a sport id be Tiger Woods and IfIhadachanceidfZappaouifIcoul­d.

[petermcintyre100]

Think I'll play this to me neighbours ¦¬)

[Rikk303]

@petermcintyre100 are they born agains...fucked up yet agains. Get some pics as regards the reaction. Would make my fuckin' Christmas and fuck the crappy New Year as well! Seasons Greetings and I fuckin' mean that. Big hugs

[guayoladeescayola]

what's the name of the song?

and if you could tell me the name of the disc too it would be fucking nice!!!!!

[dannyhood66]

What year is this recording from? I'm thinking its from early 80s? Is that Steve playing guitar solo?

[MrGranousty]

FZ was NOT against drugs (remember Joes Garage act 1: "we didn't have no drugs NOR lsd" . . . But he always says that he pays a lot for the best musicians, and prohibits the use during their job ! That's all, no more fucking ideas from younf nerdy people !

FZ is dead, there's a while, but his music's still so amazing !

'Scuse, my shrooms are boiling ! OOoops ! ! !

Once more ! and see yaaaaaaaaaaa ! ! !! ! !!

[retsofnalanosaj]

@MrGranousty

Enjoy your tea. :D

[MrGranousty]

@retsofnalanosaj Going to pick some more "tea" today, ;)

[misterpaul1971]

Justin Bieber would never swear like this. Frunk Zipper is rubbish. Love you Justin <3

[dubberdoodee]

one of the earliest forms of rap!!!.....pure genius!!!!!

[MrGranousty]

Hundred of trips later, this is a good approach ! Aaaaaaah, my furious youth ! (But this song is from steve Vai.

[MorganKai]

zappa sounds too gringo =( ,,this aint racisism crap zappa fans,,, it just a kind of sound i've identified on american bands and i dislike it,,,

[Rikk303]

sounds like Frank, very much like Frank. He was as stated very anti-dope...quite a few got booted because they liked a toot on tour.You'd think Frank was a totally bombed out fella looking at him...the music and his OCD insistence in the way it was played is testament to an extremely organised mind. Love him to bits

[miller8037]

It's FZ. Who are you people? Aliens.Beam down to Planet Earth

[MsEharding1]

what a great tune! x

[johnnymagic10]

if this is Steve Vai's homage to Frank, he missed the point... Frank's music was hillarious AND artistic... this song sounds like a slightly evolved Adam Sandler tune

[Mohammets]

Steve Vai obviously wrote this to sound like a Zappa song, probably as an homage or whatever, but it's most definitely not Frank on lead vocals or lead guitar. Anyone who thinks that this is Frank hasn't listened to much Frank Zappa or has a terrible ear. Steve sounds very much like Frank with some of the vocals, but it's not Frank. Get it?

[pinto4646]

this is a disgrace to zappa

[Shinybeastchase]

Frank Zappa Does'nt do drug its freakin Steve Vai!

[matt87a87]

@ grosdootie Hey you! FUCK YOURSELF!!

[grosdootie]

dang this tune sucks.

[LvnAction]

Frank Zappa does not sing or play on this cut. It's Steve Vai. Can't you read?

[ppjt141287]

for 1 who the fuck would watch this whole thing?

[jamesha175]

@ppjt141287 not me, i am turning it off @1:00

[nardrebel]

Children. If you can't tell the difference in Frank Zappa and Steve Vai, you have no business commenting. The only connection FZ has with this piece is that he loaned some audio equipment to Vai to outfit his home studio. Every thing here is Steve Vai.

[UrbanGraffito]

@nardrebel Yes, indeed. Perhaps a Zappa influence, otherwise, all Vai. If one cannot tell the difference between Vai's and Zappa's guitar - listen to Zappa's catalogue. Their style's are so distinctive any FZ fan can tell them apart, and furthermore, tell that FZ is nowhere on this song or the album it was released on either.

[SockbatReplica]

@UrbanGraffito Not to mention the lyrics reference things from the 90s "Fuck yourself with your grunge rock noise" Zappa was working with Ensemble Modern during the grunge period and then died.

[Scarecrowks]

You are all retarded. It is Zappa with Vai. No. FZ didn't do drugs. He was the Musicians Musician.

[fadethetrade]

@Scarecrowks zappa didn't have anything to do with this,it's not aberrated enough!!

[20Estevenson]

its mos def zappa people! r u deaf ?

[METALHEADIN702]

@20Estevenson its steve vai. who was in the zappa band and is hugely influenced by zappa.

[jastgermain]

The vocals are definitely Frank. Why would Steve say he's been fucked by legal bills, Frank had legal troubles with labels. Steve's definitely playing guitar though.

[antaro]

This is steve Vai, got nothing to do with Zappa,!

He wrote it in 1982 for his album "Flex-able" and this one was released as an EP (2000 copies only)

re-released in 1998 as flex-able leftovers.

Drums by Robin DiMaggio

Everything else by Steve Vai!!!

[ScowlingWolf]

this is my anthem

[raphwholovesmaiden]

it's zappa with steve vai , an amazing song !!

[rondimi]

Wow. That would have been quite a mix. Probably the best, though, for all parties involved. Thanks for the info.

[rondimi]

Zappa was clearly an influence on the RHCPs.

[NOTHINGTOSEEtheband]

@rondimi john frusciante was gonna join frank zappa's band but he had an anti drug policy so john decided not to join

[Yellowshark667]

It is Zappa himself.... Theme is from Steve Vai.

[rmaxinmass]

You would have to be a moron to believe that this is F.Z.

[Chronepsis5]

its Zappa this ones called go fuck yerself its an actual Zappa song its just misslabled. Just cause Zappa didn't get high himself didn't mean the audience wasn't allowed to get high he was a rock star not a cop.

[DockerDon]

vai

[lolobout]

I think that is Frank had ever taken drus... he would have been too f****** high to compose anything. he was one of the most intelligent guy ever and he understood that music his just for having fun!

[littlegreenman75]

ignorantes este tio es steve vai y el tema es f*ck yourself del disco flex-able leftovers

realmente suena a zappa porque este disco fue grabado entre los ensallos de las giras que steve dio con frank zappa.

membrillos

[brancabestia777]

...infatti.....frank zappa non usava droghe,non ne aveva bisogno!!..

[Zoink555]

Frank Zappa never took drugs just all his friends did!

[JorgeLunna]

just great, funny trip!

[duster71]

Fuck yourself with your HEART and Soul

[beetle1835]

...of course its not frank singin',its his best guitar protege ever,steve vai.......love that JEM screamin'........fuckin awesome

[podekerken]

this isn't zappa

[eberwh]

of course this is Zappa, there.s no mistaking his voice, and his style of playing around with wierd guitar scales!

[MrMariodave]

@eberwh this aint zappa

[zeppidy]

frank would never be on acid ;)

[gumige]

fuck yourself with your face

[pjsguitar]

I dont believe this is Zappa singing.{the voice is a little too high at some points} it is a pretty good imitation by Vie. maybe D.

Z.. in the style of "I Am The Slime".

[LarryLawyerGorman]

Stve Vai is singing here

[CapitainHiTop]

try listening to this while high, it sounds like its the most offencive song ever

[TheHydroponica]

drummers? add

[jazzmanEE]

Zappa was proof that you dont need to take drugs in order to be productive and have influence.

RIP Frankie.

[Farksisten]

Frank's only drug was music, and he flavoured it with cigarettes and coffé.

[cookie5618]

@Farksisten cigarettes and coffee are drugs... i like them a lot tho =)

[cookie5618]

@cookie5618 and yeah, he didn't use anything else i believe

[Hendygui]

maybe a little bit of ganja...afterall it really isnt a drug.

[CaptainBluebear08]

@Farksisten

VERY deadly drugs indeed

[MrGranousty]

@Farksisten Oh, toi t'es français pour écrire "coffé" LOL . . .

[AllWalksofLife]

@Farksisten I hate it when people don't acknowledge that cigarettes contain nicotine, a psycho-active addictive stimulant drog. And coffee contains caffeine, also a psycho-active, addictive stimulant DRUG. it's alright, just acknowledge it if you're going to go on a tirade about drugs, etc .. 

[l2yanthegreat]

@Farksisten nicotine and caffeine are both drugs

[Sonoftoenails93]

@Farksisten yeah...no

[yaksuit]

zappa ironicaly coined the phrase "psychedelia" in refernce to music..i doubt he would roll in his grave at the vid title but he was well know for not taking drugs...cigarettes and coffee were food to him and pot made him tired , trying it maybe 10-12 times when he was younger according to his only autobiography "the real frank zappa book"..check it out !!

[vinzer72frie]

acid my ass

[jasmicar]

Frank Zappa + Drugs = Views

[DuhJeffmeister]

first off, frank zappa's only vice was cigarettes, which he clearly states in biographies about him. second off this is definitely a steve vai song.

[patapatapon777]

it's originally zappa but vai redid it...

[sjk254]

This is Steve Vai

Zappa did tons of LSD early on.

[solidcrash232]

Zappa did NO drugs

@solidcrash232 actually, he did admit to experimenting with marijuana i
