  • @592220 no clapton sux

  • frank zappa is good but jimmy page is better

  • @cassavelli I agree, but there's absolutely no reason to bring that up here. You're going to start another retarded argument about something that's subjective.

  • R.I.P.

  • It';s sad how youtube has a Justin Beiber channel but not a Frank Zappa channel. Why aren't the fore bearers of progressive rock/metal treated like they should be?

  • @Rush3524 Did you know that Beiber's fame is caused by people talking on the internet about him? Even the hate is free advertising for him. What I'm doing now is the same actually...aah nevermiind

  • Thanks

    abeldanger(dot)net

  • 3:05 I need to lay off the shrooms when I watch Zappa play, he takes me to a freaky world man!

  • Haha, this is just awesome! ;)

  • Omg I'm trippin

  • So Frank Zappa was a famous dolphin right?

  • Fucking awesome!!! Best guitar solo ever:))

  • ZAPPA RULES !!!!!!!

    CHECK OUT DRUNKENSTEIN JAM !!!!

  • Vay canına!

  • Just got a Zappa record sooo stoked

  • I love how he looks over and smiles, like he's suddenly aware of how cool his voice effect sounds.

    :)

  • You had to be their thanks ................Frank

  • I saw FZ many times from '72 onward. The thing about his tone here is amp overdrive, not pedal distortion. He had a Crybaby wah and some chorus units, but the sound is from amps being double plugged in a chain. I saw him at Cobo Hall in 73 and the sound was crazy.

  • My dad actually met him after my dad was playing in a hotel. He said he was a down to earth guy.

  • 131 people like justin bieber!

  • Zappa always did whatever he wanted, and at 3:05 he turned into clay. 

  • Divino!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • lol i walked away for a second to get a snack then came back at about 3:26 and was like "holy shit what did i just eat?!"

  • I fucking love this man

  • anyone who understand FZ`s music, the good and not that brilliant parts of his production are bound to exsperiense a whole new world.

  • this is the guy!!! is just impossible think about music at the last 50 years without his name on the top positions. please , for those who want to know about , listen one of these:

    hot rats , waka jawaka , apostrophe , roxy & elsewere , the grand wazoo, chunga´s revenge , zoot allures , over-nite sensation , and more...

    finally , there isn´t one man abble to substitute Zappa´s geniusly and feeling.

    sorry the poor english , hughs form south brazil to every zappamaniacs!!

  • This man is what is missing from music. Along with his genius, his humour, and his intelligence.

  • How many female xylophone virtuosos can you think of?

    To those of you new to his music, I strongly suggest the song Inca Roads.

  • I have to say I was curious about Zappa's work for a long time, I managed to buy about 6 or 7 of his more well known albums and proceeded to listen to over the course of a month. Boy was I disappointed, Zappa is hailed by a genius and when he decide's to make music he does have some interesting stuff, ultimately I think he is one of the most over-rated musicians I have ever encountered, his music is overshadowed by his "zanyness" and this leaves him in the ranks of talented clown.

  • @Thespeakerofmanytru8 Overrated? compared to who?,Beethoven?,maybe. Are you sure you feel confdent about your innaccurate opinion of the maestro? Many people were dissapointed wiith stravinsky.It's not a matter of taste,t's a matter of greatness and you certainly have no reputation to make any judgement on his music.You're just a mediocraty.

  • @heyschmuck LOL not everybody wants to listen to pretentious art rock....get over it. Zappa's nowhere near Beethoven, anybody could listen to Beethoven and end up feeling and appreciating a few pieces, few can listen to any Zappa record without zoning out once and thinking what the fuck is the big deal about Zappa? or saying in plain english "some of this is fucking Shit."

  • @Thespeakerofmanytru8 Pardon me? Everyone loves Frank. How do I know this? I wrote up an application form for women to be my girlfriend. One of the mandatory questions asked what they thought of Frank Zappa. All of them gave the correct answer.

  • @Thespeakerofmanytru8 Hey man, maybe you need to "Get a Little" and rip off the drawers. Check it out.

  • Beautiful Zappa guitar

  • You ever notice they always kill the good guys, they always let the demons run amok.- Bill Hicks

  • cazzo che assolo!!!

  • ok now i need to smoke a joint and listen to this song for 3 hours

  • this guys a trip hahaha nothing to really say but AWESOME!!

  • Good version, super sound, great solo, big voice....Zappa one of those who opened other spaces in music with M

  • So stoned... so great

  • happy birthday frank you will always be my favorite musician

  • ; Happy Birthday to Frank Zappa, always alive in music.

  • can't watch this without wanting to plug in my guitar and go apeshit.

  • Happy birthday Frank Zappa, wherever you are!

  • No me canso de ver este video!

  • Just Click on the link below and turn on to some awesome new music from Boston MA

  • frank rocks

  • the play-doh finger part reminds me of "snuff box guitar lesson" search it and see :)

  • I hate how people compare Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

  • @ptamras5 best comment on youtube

  • @ptamras5 So f'cking tired of this template!!

  • @ptamras5 So if Zappa is God, does that make Clapton the Virgin Mary?

  • now thats techno to me

  • Epic performance by one of the great ones. Wish he was still alive. He would be running for re-election this year, and life would be a hell of a lot better than it is, right now!!!

  • Here Fido Fido

    C'mere little puppy

    bring the slippers

    "Arf, arf, arf!" Heh heh heh

    sick . . .

  • @TheMonkeybutler20 Yeah man, I bet that if Frank was still alive nowadays he would most likely be making his unique amazing sarcasm lyrics about our current music scenery in the media!

    Ha, I'd send the Central Scrutinizer after Bieber's ass.

    Long live our mustache man!

  • Uncle Frank! seen him live 4 times, once at the Apollo in Manchester in 1979- he played for 3 hours!! such a genius, lifelong influence on me.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't get it = this isn't weird. I listen to some weird music and I know when its weird or not. To me this just seems like psychedelic music in a vein with early Pink Floyd or something.

  • GENIOUS

    GENIE !!!!

  • I love Frank, I have 61 of his albums. He is a musical genius.

  • rip zappa you always make me smile

  • holy crap. that was awesome

  • Frank Zappa was an American composer of true genius right up there in his own way with Gershwin , Ives, Berlin, or whoever, and in addition he was one of the greatest electric guitarists of the entire era, as is amply demonstrated in this video. In short Zappa was among the handful of the greatest musicians this country ever produced

  • It takes a deep person to understand Zappa.

  • So true zombywoof91 !!! Open your mind guys !!!!

  • Realy good!!!

    :-)

  • WAIT A MINUTE --- WAIT A MINUTE ---THIS IS NOT LIL WAYNE -- WHERE THE HELL AM I??????

  • after all the shit.....his balls killed em'.....funny shit.

  • must av listnened to this 20 times this last year!! love his voice, smoooooth operator!!

  • JOHN FRUSCIANTE IS INFLUENCED GREATLY BY FRANK ZAPPA!

  • @1Sifting lol i love john but why are you mentioning him on this video?

  • @added23 Cuz he was influenced by frank zappa.

  • @1Sifting so... many people were influenced by zappa. this is a frank zappa video not a JF video

  • @added23 awww thats too bad.

  • There will never be another quite like Zappa.

  • @shocktrooper1000 yes there is it's an italian band called ELIO E LE STORIE TESE..they've been playing with ike willis for example which said "it's exactly like playing at zappa's times with them" the only problem is that they sing in italian..and artistically are inspired totally by zappa even playing so many different kinds of music

  • "Oh that's enough of that" -> video ends

  • 0:56 Tom Waits reference! It really cant get any better.

  • Keep CLickinc 1:33 . Boot. ahh Lmao

  • BORAT XD!!!!!

    

  • that's his real voice?:P

  • frequency shifter FTW :D

  • He was a genius. Read The Real Frank Zappa Book.

  • Fucking class solo and an beautiful tone!!!

  • @TheMothersOfMadness Yeah that tone is godly. Jesus.

  • Hahaha that voice freaks me up so much! :D

  • I read a book by an anonymous writer who claimed she had a 5 yr affair with Zappa,while on tour! Could it have been an unhappy divorcing Ruth Underwoood from her estranged husband,Ian????This affair started just about the time she would have been separating from him and she was on zappas tour without Ian around 73ish!In fact she claimed she played in the tour!Must have been ruth! Also,look at zappas roxy video trailer on youtube.You see frank getting cute with ruth while ruth was playing.HMMM.

  • @fadethetrade neat tidbit, it is great to see someone else obsess about Frank Zappa. I mean it sucks that he died, because I really would have liked to have killed him and for you know a lot about me. No but seriously thank god he is dead.

  • @buckyew2 Shut up and take your happy pills

  • @buckyew2 Did you eat shit and die yet??

  • Remember going to a Zappa concert back in the day, he had around 10 semi-naked ladies (they had feathered boas on) what an experience, back then the concerts where so much fun, open seating at the Smoke Arena in San Diego.

    The genius of Frank Zappa! RIP

  • Man that first bit of guitar sounds FUCKING ROCK

  • Cradstein........You fucking asshole............why would you cut this off

  • an occasional python BOOT

  • the sheik of blues guitar! rock on frank, wherever you are.

  • several million years on one rock and STILL STINKY!

  • Frank Zappa is the greatest fart joke artist of all time!

  • epic stop motion animation solo

  • 120 people never grew a Brain.Either still Born and Extremely Under Developed .

    I remember seeing frank in the late 70's @ Celebrity Theater in phx az. It was and still is the BEST concert i ever saw to this day ... DAMN I WAS SO LUCKY TO WITNESS THIS Amazing MAN PLAY.. And Thanks to all those that post his Amazingness for all to see. THANKS YOU.. WE LOVE YOU FRANK

  • 120 people have this disease

  • @shannahlacina exactly.there are so many people who wont consider anything outside of the catchy,where you have to actually think,pause and listen again to understand (for instance some of the percussion here) in the piece of music

  • at 1:43 the asian cunt messes up the drum line and she is like fuck and then zappa shoots darts at her with his eyes. holy shit! i bet she never played with those cats again!

  • @CaptainNensho 'Asian cunt'? You mean Ruth Underwood? One of the most fondly remembered, talented and highly regarded Zappa percussionists?

  • We were learning about the different genres of music in school. My teacher put up the school of rock music chart and aked for questions. Sombody asked about frank zappa, my teacher youtubed it and played the first video: this one. He stopped at "Are you out of you fucking mind?". The whol class ebruptd with laughter.

  • @kamphychair I think your teacher doesn't know very much about music.

  • BORAT

  • wow!

  • Can someone please tell me where the clay part of this video is from ? I think i saw it once ... but don´t remember - please help because it´s awesome !

  • is Frank Zappa and Weird Al synonymous?

  • Wow! 

  • You know, a lot of people say his music is crazy and weird. It's supposed to be! Frank knew how it sounded and he intended on it sounding exactly how it sounds! To me it's crazy to listen to the same 4/4 pop songs your whole life and have only that played on the radio. This music is much more sane than anything on the radio! People immediately close their minds to something "weird". If you want to like Franks music, you have to have an open mind! He has a whole different look at music! Rip Frank

  • @Zombywoof91 Agreed...when I hear the music that's popular on the radio today it's crazy to me that other people enjoy it. Most of the music on the radio is just catchy repetitive choruses with shallow lyrics. This is real creativity...expression. not a shitty hook with a catchy chorus made to make it to the charts to make money. Shame the direction the music industry has gone.

  • @Zombywoof91 He was too aberrated and subversive for alot of people.You needed to put together many different mixes of Zappa for different type of audiences.I only play his mellow jazz compositions of the late 60's and early 70's in the car when my wife drives(no zappa lyrics allowed!) with me but when I drive alone,I throw in Billy was a mountain or Broadway the hard way! For a britney spears fan,only play love of my life,valley girl,bobby brown,etc.

  • @Zombywoof91 funny, i told my little niece the other day that sometimes being weird is a good thing

  • Comment removed

  • @Zombywoof91 Yep. People just need to liten to Ffank. He really had it together. Really good stuff he did. Loved Joes Garage.

  • @Zombywoof91

    There's always been a fine line between what's considered weird and genius. It's just a shame that most people won't open their minds enough to distinguish between the two.

  • @Zombywoof91 Hellyes! I'm into all kinds of music, especialy the music that's unique, aslong as it's not some sort of music made with a computer i'd turn my hand for.

  • python boot

  • i liked the part where he transforms into a namek

  • thank god for youtube, where else could i find frank

  • @barkpeeler2000 A record store.

  • @MVSXE ....random weird videos? interviews? i can't even think of a record store that's still in existence. guess i gotta get out more often. now go bother the guy who compared frank to weird al yankovic.

  • Hello there music appreciator. I know this looks like spam But PLEASE HEAR ME OUT

    -Do bluesy bands likes Zeppelin, Floyd, Joplin, Doors, Hendrix, and The Who give you chills? Are you physically attracted to seeking truth in music? Well I am formally inviting you to take a listen to my channel, Using your open mind take the time to hear my tunes.. your subscribtion to my channel will help me show the world my music. Much Love.

  • and they know nothing about dental floss

  • 119 people have Bromhidrosis...

  • Oh Frank I miss you.

  • True Genius!

  • 119 people have stinky foot

  • 3:05 - DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS

  • @TheAlexBrasill well, yeah, the claymation guy, if you saw him in "Baby Snakes", was pretty well baked, can't deny that. Though Zappa never touched the stuff, drank gallons of coffee tho!

  • Zappa you are the greatest

  • There's a tab book for the "Apostrophe" album.

  • Absolut genial !

  • Zappa IS cool.

  • Salvador Dalí of the musicians!

  • @GiovaneFugazza10

    Agree. And I hope I don't regret it later but ...here, have my thumbs.

  • @GiovaneFugazza10 why would you say that Salvador Dali didn't suck

  • @buckyew2 >>Implying Salvador Dali sucks

  • best solo ever but does anyone have a tab? I really need one!!!!!!!!! The stop motion is superb in this

  • @Django5198 man youre not in the tab world anymore! zappa's stuff should be played by ear!!! :D

  • @keo774 Dude he's playing so fast I can't even take note of half of the notes!!!

  • That was Zappa in his best time!

  • ESCUCHENLO ES EXCELENTE...

  • omg he said tom waits!!!

  • Zappa is great !!!

  • He was funny and a great musician but when you do funny music you dont get taken serously and you get tired of hearing the same joke over and over so his disk dosnt get played after a few times thru.

  • Frank should have just played music and never opened his mouth.. His vocal "performances" SUCK. He is the Weird Al Yankovic of the 60/70's.

  • @dx398 dude, yankovic basically based his career off of parodies of other peoples' music. frank wrote his own music.

  • i never thought there was a woman in zappa's band... who's the hell is she? the xylophone lady?

  • @pedalla It's Ruth Underwood.

  • @mindlesspup oh, so ruth underwood is a woman... that explains it all... thanks

  • I LOVE FRANK ZAPPA...!!!!

  • Baby snakes!!!!

  • Zappa could say so much with his guitar! Even in just a couple measures... 1:12

  • wait til they start selling Zappa shirts at Hot topic and jc penny. Then everyone will be obessesd with him like bob marley

  • Comment removed

  • @TheUNRIVALED1 CIA?! BItch fuck you and your stupid ass illuminati theories, he got an infection in his leg and died FUCK OFF!

  • @KadeshLeMort Tell me how many times has that happened to another Artist?Same with Eazy E he got infected with AIDS and died in a couple of months....These people dont fuck arround just look at what they did to JFK.

  • as frank zappa once stated..."The best way to pay homage to a true genius is to insult them"...so i say i agree..and thank you my sicilian mother would be proud of me

  • 117 people's boots were too tight, and they couldn't get them off last night

  • OK how bout Ruth's flurry of Genius and flourishes??
