@Sargebri I really think we should make Frank a Humanist Saint. He was the most individualistic person and a beacon for anyone who walks their own path and invites the world to follow. Anti-drugs in the 60's HAHAHAHAHAHA And making psych music to boot. Frank is an inspiration to be a better human and never be stuck up about it......

An entire generation thinks that Eddie Van Halen invented "tapping" on a guitar.

[garmonbozia318]

@AdobePhsyko Jeff Beck claims to have a book from the 1940s (!) by Ben Webster that describes a number of tapping techniques

[dbvideoinc]

@AdobePhsyko Well Zappa didn't either, really. Steve Hackett did.

@MrTexmojo The way Zappa did it sounded a lot finer too.

@MrTexmojo Frank was doing almost everything before it hit the mainstream... it is very hard to ignore his massive talent and staggering intellect...

[gargantua]

@MrTexmojo Man!! Mister Zappa is tapping from the beggining of the 70's ... get it!!!!! That's what creativity in the mind of a genius is...he invented and somebody called Van Halen developed a bit more...

@stikhi All the other original Mothers did drugs & actually wanted to kick Frank out of the band for not doing drugs & getting on their case. Zappa also hired & then fired Lowell George who was a heavy drug user. When he found out that some of the GTO's were shooting up heroin he put their album on indefinite hold. His later policy was that he would fire a musician if the guy was high on the job but the musician doing drugs in his private time was his business.

@badazzpresidents23 He drank beers when he was younger but he wasn't a 'drinker' just a chainsmoking tobbaco & coffee addict. In the Real Frank Zappa book there is a story about when he was broke & working at a music store & living on beans, he ate a plate of beans, drank some Miller High Life & got such a stomach pain that he writhed over cursing the Miller High Life company. Pat Metheny's the guy who never drank a beer but he was addicted to Dr Peppers & midnight junk food from 7 Eleven.

@gumbyonacid i just re read the book and I must apologize- no mention of frank and alcohol- i remembered it wrong-........... i think making such a big deal put of frank being drug free is a bit silly anyway- yes it must have been tough to stay away from weed,lsd and the like back then,but frank's genius is what it is- he was a flawed human being just like us all- he had addictions just like us all- and i loved and still love frank zappa- regardless of which drugs he did or did not take-
