Frank Zappa - Son of Mr. Green Genes

[deutscherkrieger]

uhhyyee

[badgeeater]

I'll take hanging out with The Son of Mr. Green Genes over a plate of Peaches en Regalia any day. This is by far, my favorite track on Hot Rats.

[ricardopardini]

Nice picture at 6:17

[localboyrlm]

[birri1981]

At 5:55 I got an erection

[birri1981]

My favourite, too!

Grande Franco, tieni 'na minchia tanta!

[phlizmo]

hands down my favorite FZ song.

[spartaeus]

Talent this good is almost scary.

[Mantramurtim]

R I P Frank, we love u

[finylvinyl66]

It's interesting that in the early days of the Mothers, FZ could write great melodies like this one. The first Mothers LPs were considered quite avant-garde. Now they just seem to be great records chock full of tunes.

Zappa's popularity grew as his melodic skills seemed to diminish, leading us to sub-par albums like "The Man From Utopia." Give me "We're Only In It for the Money" anyday.

(Or "Uncle Meat." Or "Absolutely Free."

[boerni1976]

oh one of my most-loving pieces of music. thats far beyond jazz,rock,classic.

[iden91]

Frank Zappa was a genius...

[AnthemOfTheSun]

Oh man i love this tune.

Very colorful and crispy sound

[saisonsept]

thanks frank

[denhamlewis]

this is one of the most beutiful pieces of music ever. i love it. genius. there is no other word to better describe FRANK ZAPPA.

[Dottin]

Black Moon Sample!

[wasteyelo1]

Apart from the fact that they are being played amazingly well, on a genius composition, it still baffles me how good the drums sound on this record. Superlative!

[omgiamsocool]

incredible song

[Poordumbcracker]

One of my favorites of his many great works. Thanks for sticking it out there.

[JazZappaLemon]

I wish he would extend the solo at 1:21 for 5 minutes, and just then 1:40, it's sooo groovy

[hendrixisrockgod]

awesome

[zamzonez]

god he could do anything,so diverse, brilliant,, an antidote to the idiotic dumbus down, pop "music " crap of the continuous barrage of gov't/corporate approved stupidity variety,,, spread the word of genius...

[TheSoftMachineisaMan]

One of my favourite Zappa songs, and it's hard to pick between this, Peaches en Regalia and The Gumbo Variations.

[shoebobs]

You should invest in another album of Frank's. They're all good..not just Hot Rats.

[TheSoftMachineisaMan]

Why was this a reply to me? I have around 30 Zappa albums.

[jgke]

i <3 the harmonies in this tune

[atopic5544]

Best Frank song of them all, and there are quite a few. Many a buzzed night at Northwestern U in the early 70's appreciating Frank and life; thank goodness Frank is there for the unbuzzed nights of late.

[Gadolinium158]

Wow, I love this song! Frank was definitely one of the most influential musicians in Rock and Roll and Jazz history. His music is timeless, and this song clearly illustrates why.

[Bram25]

Best album ever. One of the very limited albums I have on LP as well on CD.

This album is like a Bolero in reverse. It starts hectic, it ends really laidback and relaxed! :D

[hambuns]

Which format do you prefer? As a self confessed vinyl junkie I reckon the CD version is doing a disservice to a brilliant piece of music/studio production - the original throws franks grit shiftin guitar to the fore and everything else is in balance - the CD mix just buggers it all up

[Bram25]

I prefer the LP version over the CD version. I'm just one of those people that loves the good old media like MC's, LP's and Betamax :D

[hambuns]

yeh - thats confirmed what I thought. The CD's goin on ebay!!

[cristianleonardo89]

re locooo jajaj

[TiniNormi]

Ufdklsdafjsaf.

[dmguitarist14]

haha, great picture of zappa. fantastic song, vid, and person. r.i.p frank, we all miss you

[emrldz]

I listen to Hot Rats and Burnt Weeny Sandwich through and through! SOMGG is a triumph

[BogotaBT]

amazing

[mshakhz]

excellent explanation of Zappa's music

[jtull89]

It's so oddly beautiful.
