I always watch Barry's reviews on TH-cam, so great to see him chatting with you blokes. I remember Frank mentioning the hoop with the 6 microphones and I have seen it in a photograph, but never heard anything that was recorded with it. I think he planned to use it with the Ensemble Modern? Of course the earliest quad recordings he made are on the quadrophiliac album. I am looking forward to the surround sound mixes of Apostrophe. I remember Frank saying that the fill bits on Excentrifugal Forz whizz around the room, so I hope they do indeed whizz like nothing has whizzed before. Personally I have had surround sound systems for over 30 years and am glad everyone seems to have settled for blu ray format. I never understood why there was SACD and DVD Audio when blu ray was already waiting in the side lines. Thanks to all involved for taking the time to discuss all this stuff. Anything Zappanese is always interesting.
Thank you Barry. A fine job putting together some basic concepts for this interview. Your preparation helped facilitate a really fine interview. As we can hear between the concepts of Unreleased Songs, Sheik YerBouti and KISS The Greatest Band Ever there is an answer to as where there are music scores that have yet to have been performed. As much as a person conducting the interview can have some really fine questions prepared, it’s hard for many interviewers to react to the fore mentioned responses such as never before heard scores. Yes, if I may input a question here. When and if we will ever have a recording of Hunchentoot? While the score was written in 1972 what we have is a number of different arrangement that were recorded at the Caribou sessions in 1974, some of which has vocal overdubs at a later time. While I won’t go into the breakdown here , time is of affliction, the anniversary of the Caribou sessions is a reminder of the Hunchentoot Screenplay deserves a Broadway and or Theater Stage Production. Great to hear how these segments flow to Sheik YerBouti , IMHO Frank’s overdub Masterpiece. Where I have been living in Queens NY for 62 years a number of neighborhood folks were going to see KISS since their 73’ dates at the Coventry in Sunnyside. For further Conceptual Continuity that where Spider-Man comes from. I had to wait until their 2nd MSG engagement in Dec 77 but it’s great to hear the connection of 2 overdub masterpiece productions. The World Needs Hunchentoot
1. Always nice to see 3 bald men in black T-shirts discussing one of the greatest composers of the 20th century! 2. Where can I get Frank's phone number? 3. My request to Joe would be to have a look at the You Are What You Is album. It would be nice to hear an official release of it with corrected speed adjustment. 4. Failing that (or not) I'm also curious to see what can be done with the Thing-Fish album, which is the one and only Zappa album I detest. 5. Kiss are OK, but they're not the greatest band of all time, Ahmet. Genesis is.
I asked ai Zappa what he thought of the hawk Utah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😄😄😃😃!1!1!1!!1!1!1! Ai Zappa responded by talking for 30 minutes about how he hated unions 🤔🤔🤔🤔 classic!!!
It’s funny. I really want an Atmos setup. Stereo me atm. I’m gonna have a great time when I do get one because I have so many box sets sitting here that I have never listened to. Atmos mixes that is. 😉🤟🏼
The first 5 albums from Kiss are really good. (that includes "Alive") Ace's solo album shines, but it's only until "Revenge" when they redeem themselves. Other than that from Kiss, I got nothin...
As a huge Zappa fan, it's always great to hear people talk about his stuff. Joe is a great guy and has done a ton of work as the vaultmeister but it's really very sad that Dweezil and Ahmet can't patch up their differences. Everybody knows that Dweezil has 'the ears'. He's the real musician, he's the sound guy, he should work on Frank's music, at least co-operate. Ahmet has his merits, the guy has real charisma, he can be goofy and sincere at the blink of an eye, he cares for the music too but he's not a musician on Frank's level. Dweezil is. It's a goddamn shame. Gail sure spawned some ugly things before she joined the bleedin' choir invisible.
Ahmet explains the truth behind Dweezil's complaints on his latest podcast. Dweezil is the only person who has been consistently disagreeable, and just as delusional as Gail could be. They have been trying in vain to get Dweezil on board and have been supportive. They are not shunning him, he shunning them. He is not a victim and people need to get over that idea. And if you look at the releases Dweezil was involved with early on, I would much rather have Ahmet and Joe in charge quite FRANKly.
@@johnnyb8250 You know the split of Zappa's legacy wasn't done right. Gail gave Ahmet and Diva a bigger share than Dweezil and Moon. Moon talks about it in her last book very clearly. As siblings they ought to even that out and hold equal shares.
@@splankhoon Of course. But Dweezil's ideas about what should be done with Frank's vault would be disastrous for the fans. He also has no business acumen. There would be no deal with Universal and they would still be millions of dollars in debt. People are doing a lot of pro-Dweezil grandstanding without being informed or considering what it would have been like. We owe a lot of gratitude to Ahmet and Joe, and things are fine the way they are.
I liked the interview. I didn't like Ahmet using an AI Frank to answer an important political question. What the hell was that for? Are you seriously implying Zappa would sympathize with Maga? I need to puke. An angry puke.
I agree that the Thompson's Twins were great, but I personally give the edge to Thomas Dolby. And yes, Into The Gap is one of the best albums from the 1980's..... easily.
Similar to how individual food preferences exist, I feel it's the same with music. It's not my place to criticize anyone else's musical tastes. Frank drew nice eyebrows on his music. KISS wore makeup on their eyebrows. Both have rabid fans. C'est la vie, fine by me.
Jack Bruce doing a Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa was asked about Jamming with Pink Floyd. Went on to say he had never even met Pink Floyd. And yet there are pictures of them all on stage together having a jam. Strange.
I want to know what Ahmet was trying to say about why he's a fan of Thompson Twin's 'Into The Gap' before he got cut off (or was that cancelled - how very woke).
They are faithful to Zappas intentions while he himself did not let sentimentality get in the way of changing things if he felt it was an improvement. Still they have seem to find a great middleway.
Very good idea Ahmet, to focus all wokists on your dad, while he had those lyrics that can hurt them but they didn't know about it. 👍 You think you can convince a population liying to itself and using legislation to chase all people not thinking as they do ? We'll end up with "He's so Gay" and "Bobby Brown" erased from the discography, amongst other tracks... Thank you a lot.
What a great interview Barry. Those guys are really fun and a good listen. I never tire of Frank material.
I feel like AI Frank handled that question regarding Woke Culture extremely well. Very nuanced answer imo.
What did he call? What was that?

I MUST have that Zappa AI on my phone.
1. Always nice to see 3 bald men in black T-shirts discussing one of the greatest composers of the 20th century!

Thing Fish is awesome. One of my faves. Do you have a Head like a potato and Lips like a duck??
@@worstxb1playertylerteehc635 Nope. If I did, I might enjoy it as much as you do.
Gabriel era
There is a thing fish demoes on TH-cam
Genesis aren't the greatest band of all time sorry, those phil collins albums plain sucks
Wow. This is a nice surprise. Thanks 🎉🎉
I asked ai Zappa what he thought of the hawk Utah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😄😄😃😃!1!1!1!!1!1!1! Ai Zappa responded by talking for 30 minutes about how he hated unions 🤔🤔🤔🤔 classic!!!
How do you get something like that?
Excellent interview. The stuff with the phone was priceless.
Great interview Barry, thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It's amazing that FZ was able to direct all those musicians to near perfection...
I would love to hear the Yellow Shark concerts in Atmos.
Always good to hear from Joe Travers 🤘
KISS and Frank Zappa are my 2 favourite artists
No more excuses Barry! Get yourself a surround set. Atmos is the way to go! Your Tull box sets will come alive too🎸👍🎵
It’s funny. I really want an Atmos setup. Stereo me atm. I’m gonna have a great time when I do get one because I have so many box sets sitting here that I have never listened to. Atmos mixes that is. 😉🤟🏼
Apostraphe and Strictly Commercial are great together.
Incredible cd sound on “Greasy Love Songs” and great bonus tracks!
The first 5 albums from Kiss are really good. (that includes "Alive") Ace's solo album shines, but it's only until "Revenge" when they redeem themselves. Other than that from Kiss, I got nothin...

The AI Frank segment cracked me up. I get the feeling the music is in good hands with these two. Nice interview !
Zappa must turn you bald

HAHA! "KISS being IN the money and ON the money" 41:50 ..now THAT's for DAMN SURE!
Similar to how individual food preferences exist, I feel it's the same with music. It's not my place to criticize anyone else's musical tastes.
Frank drew nice eyebrows on his music. KISS wore makeup on their eyebrows. Both have rabid fans.
C'est la vie, fine by me.
Jack Bruce doing a Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa was asked about Jamming with Pink Floyd. Went on to say he had never even met Pink Floyd. And yet there are pictures of them all on stage together having a jam. Strange.
Joe can play some Drums too.
Joe's Garage needs a box set
Sheet music that hasn't been performed!!! That really needs to have something done with!

In my humble opinion, the "Apostrophe (')" album was a Frank Zappa album.
All Franks tracks are one track. ALL related.
Ahmet...Led Zeppelin is better than Kiss
Hah, how did he get that answer from Frank about "woke culture"? Did they train a generative AI on all of Frank's mutterings?
Oh, and thanks Barry.
The only one of Frank's kids that ever had any talent was Dweezil. The rest of them live off the name.
did anyone from kiss actually play on the kiss alive album?
Deezil, keeping Franks music alive. Ahmet, keeping Franks income alive. And what was that phone thing? Ffs.
Kiss sucks.
Thanks. I'm glad you've cleared that up for us.
@@henrycrinkle821 It's important to combat disinformation an propaganda.
great box but the live show sound terrible its distorted sound awful
Fancy suing your own Brother who actually keeps Franks Music being played live. Ahmet and Gail were bang out of order.
Whats Franks Number please ?
Kiss are shite
