Frank Zappa documentary (1971) Part 3

[BillTurkeyburger]

Very interesting documentary, very personal, gives a different perspective on him

[chmkla]

I watched this a couple of years ago and had to do a double take regarding what he said about getting the clap and his wife..

3:15 Zappa's face

[renduke]

252 is that jeff beck ?

[CaptainJos]

@renduke No, it's Zappa's drummer, Ainsley Dunbar.

1:45 MIKE BLOOMFIELD!! and Frank Zappa! together! my life is complete

[posthumanhero]

boy poor flo and eddy.......they really dipped deep into th toilette bowl for zappa.......i'll always treasure their first solo lp and turtles stuff for it's musicality and rather good humour.........why they were doing [this] has to make one wonder.

[kevin4peace]

What's the song at 1:10 called? I'm assuming it's from 200 Motels?

[CaptainJos]

@kevin4peace It's "Would You Like A Snack?" from 200 Motels, originally from Burnt Weeny Sandwich.

[rambadibow]

This explains why nowadays his widow acts like a total bitch. She's just getting some revenge.

[BillTurkeyburger]

@rambadibow On who? Us? Fuck off, she's being cunty. She needs to set the poor music free.

[hongdekong]

can we get high now?

[uptightkid]

Love Frank but shagging groupies when you have a wife and kids is bang out of order.

[mina7560]

@uptightkid got a point there

[garmonbozia318]

@uptightkid I don't think so at all.  I mean, he's travelling the world being hit on by all sorts of beautiful women, his wife isn't there, what's he supposed to do? You only live once. Besides, I don't think anybody marries a touring musician expecting fidelity. However, I will concede that it's pretty poor form to bring home the clap.

[harveydents]

Notice Zappa aint drinking......the genius never did drugs of any kind RARELY drank....you HAVE to be STRAIGHT to play his music,...its waaaaay too complex NOT to be!

[BillTurkeyburger]

@harveydents I can play his music inebriated, if I know it. I'm not dissing his music, just saying you're wrong. You just have to be a good enough musician, but not always, his songs range from easy to very difficult. Also, nicotine is a drug and Zappa did that constantly.

[birthdaypig2000]

I lost my copy of this and I have been looking for the Tommy Mars solo on youtube for ages! Thank you!

[samuelruncorn78]

That looks a helluva lot like Joni Mitchell at 1.59-2.01.

[superfuzzymomma]

@samuelruncorn78 Damn if you ain't right!

[collisionwork]

@samuelruncorn78 Motorhead Sherwood of The Mothers (not in this incarnation) was dating Joni Mitchell around this time, and she apparently hung around the Zappa house a lot, so that actually isn't surprising. Good catch!

[somethngs]

anyone know what the kids screaming around 4:30?

[TreyRoque]

He gets the clap, she's sent to get the penicillin.

[jernov91]

first!!!! :D
