So I wonder if Zappa found Bruce and his art and decided to make a movie of his stuff and applying his music to it, or if he actually came up with the idea for all the animations and collaborated with Bruce to make these......
@ThatOneNerdLol I'm guessing you're a snotty little 13 year old. No, Frank Zappa never did drugs and fired band members when they did on the job. Get your facts straight before calling someone retarded.
i think you can't take drugs for this complex work of art. if you take them to work you crash, and drugs distance you from doing things right,. if he takes drugs he takes them after the work is done... but that is not our business or either we like it or not. i like it and is very good
You know we're talking about narcotics here. Elliot Ingber, Napoleon Murphy Brock, and Lowell George, for instance, were all firedat different times by Zappa for drug use during their tenures with him. He didn't tolerate that. He wanted his musicians to be quick and sharp.
That is what dismays people like you; this stuff was done straight.
Again, this is an amazing piece of footage. And even though it's Zappa project, it's Bruce Bickford's work. You can like it or you can hate it, but you'd be lying to yourself to deny the craftsmanship that went into it. Addled with drugs, one couldn't possibly execute something so complex.
mikeo4283, so true! Zappa indeed had a brilliant creative mind that didn't require drugs. And yet so many kids believed that his music and such videos enhanced drug usage, which was never his intention!
@mikeo4283 That is what someone would say if they didn't know anything about Frank Zappa. Zappa was extremely against drugs. If you were in his band and showed up high, he would fire you and that would be the end of you.
Why do people think if someone is creative and imaginative, they have to be on drugs?
I look at it as the "sour grapes" argument: "I can't reach those grapes; they're probably sour anyway. People who scapegoat FZ as a "druggie" simply have no imagination, and are more often than not demonstrably not very bright. It goes over their head, so they rationalize it as the musings of a drug-addled mind, which is 100% false. He was completely anti-drugs.
@5jerry1 to say it was a creation of drug abuse is an excuse i think, for it is hard to fathom someone or something with such a brilliantly abstract mind, so i am all the more weirded out by this film because i did think he did drugs.
This movie is a trip! first time i saw it was in 92... on acid. I puked at the part with the blow up doll as well as the part where the dudes head turns into a hamburger then as a burger, turns to the guy next to him and bites off half of his head! haha. Zappa is the king of weird!!!
Too funny. Burn a J and get baked. Any real Zappa fan would know that Frank disapproved of drugs and even fired band member for "burning a J". How ironic that druggies love him.
Oh nahrevollotionist my boy you have only scratched the surface Franks rabbit hole is like 80 albums deep look up his drummer Terry Bozio hell blow your little mind if not ill buy you a steak.
