  • LOL ! ! !

    Quote of the milennium from that scarfed woman:

    "For people who haven't heard this music, it's a chance to hear something that they haven't heard before..."

    :D No shit, honey!!!

    Frank Zappa's mind was beautiful insanity, and he knew how to put it into music!

    Genius!

  • Love you Frank man a hero dies 1994 I was born 1994 it make me sad. Hats off to you R.I.P

  • waar is deel 2?

  • shame that it misses bits out between the videos. I was interested in what vai was going to say at the end of part 2. Frank Zappa number 1!

  • @asins

    me too

    

  • Thank you ! Very much !!!!!!!

  • piercing the head of the cock must hurt lol

  • it's so great that the percussionist at about the 6m mark mentions old frankie in the same breath as beethoven. in the future - we ALL will!

  • una maravilla, gracias

  • argh we don't get to hear part 3 of the song Vai was talking about at the end of part 2.of this documentary as it is up loaded? is this a puzzle..?

  • @vinnyguitarandbass "whats new in baltimore"

  • @vinnyguitarandbass yes, what the fuck happened? Nobody has this part. So annoying.

  • search for part 2b ;)

  • Poo

  • Zappa in Tehran????? I didnt think music was even legal in Iran, much less Zappa!!

  • where is part 4? ANYBODY!!

  • Can anybody translate what that super-hot teheranian babe is saying?

  • I translated it from the dutch subtitles for you. It's as accurate as the dutch subtitles are ;-)

    "The most important aspect for me is the enormous wealth of rhythmic variation which emerges from Zappa's music. He combines several different rhythms with eachother. Because of my background i find this ofcourse more interesting than some others might."

  • Thanks dude

  • geez! you werent kidding!

  • Frank Zappa plainly & simply just fucking RULES! I also really miss him!!

  • "Night School" sounded amazing played by the orchestra here.

    What a great documentary this is. Thank you for posting it!

  • I agree with what Boulez says, Zappa is very much apart of the american maverick tradition. Ii've never heard of Zappa mentioning Ives or Carter as influence , but i can definitely see it in his music, especially Carter. Maybe that's just me though.

  • apart or a part? lol

    I think Zappa really had something with these melodies over sus-chords, like in "What will Rumi do?". I never hear anybody doing that, and i think it sounds incredibly beautiful. When the chord isn't minor or major, you have a greater melodic freedom

  • Definitely a part :P

    i know what you mean, like for instance in "the black page", where he has so much going on melodically, using so many different modes/scales, yet the chords are mostly suspended 2nd's

  • yeah or like in uncle meat, just sus4 or sus2 all the time. Thats make makes the characteristic Zappa-sound, and lydian! in the BP he in the beginning goes back and forth between g and bflat lydian, the whole thing is basically lydian in different keys, judgintg from the bass notes

  • Charles Ives - You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore Vol 5 Track 2 :)!

  • I really didn't have any idea that there were so many dutch documentary-things on Zappa, wat vreemt :p

  • Not a day goes by since 1993 where I am devastated

  • Frank's music and the whole genius of this man is absolutely underrated in this world full of MTV/VIVA etc-BULLSHIT!!!

    No Composer/musician be it in the past, today or in future times will ever come near to Frank Zappa, I think. A GENIUS, if ever there was one...

  • ZAPPA is a musical god

  • That piece that starts at 0:40 is just so, so, so beautiful!!

  • That's "What will Rumi do?" I believe. Every musician had sheet music except the percussionist, Rumi. It's easy to find. I love this era of Zappa's music especially, as I think he was happiest with the performances, as he was with the Ruth Underwood / Ian / George Duke / Murphy Brock etc band. When I first heard this piece and read the title, I immediately thought of Ruth and his playful affection for her.

  • Translator pleaseeeee!

  • my opinion better than Jimi Hendrix

  • you can't compare than, since while Zappa was playing, Hendrix was getting a blowjob... xD

  • nothing compares to frank zappa.

  • Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!!! The greatest musical genius ever!! Fuck everyone who does not agree! Favorited every part

  • thanks for the comment, did you see the link i added to part 3 ??, it's another (much older) Dutch docu on Frank

  • Yeah, seen it. It`s great, too!!

  • part 2a wont play

  • that's an amazing movie :) thank you. Hope you'll put all the rest! Thank you!
