Hard to process that Frank was one of the few that never did drugs .....
I remember when he was hosting Saturday Night Live (I think) and did the whole, “I don’t do drugs!” Schtick. It was great.
@@artharrison9586 Not just that--Zappa insisted none of the cast use drugs while he was on set. That's why he was never invited back.
Frank Didn't Need Any Drugs. He Was His Own Drug Unto Himself!! A True One Of A Kind... Genius
@@artharrison9586 he also did “Im the Slime”
He also had a strict no drugs policy for any of his bands, on occasion bandmembers were fired mid tour for violating that rule (Norma Jean Bell in '75, Napoleon Murphy Brock in '84).
Two words, Joe's Garage.
@@mandobob i second that motion!!
Masterpiece
Thirded
Frank loved to entertain and be entertained, thus some of the crazy characters he worked with. He also loved to criticize the foolish ways of humankind, thus social commentary like My Guitar ... I truly miss Frank. Every time I listen to him I get a sense of calm, that, yes, there was a voice out there who really understood how the world worked and the infallibility of the human machine. GREAT stuff.
Frank was ahead of his time!! Excellent reaction, fellas ❤😊👏🙏
Another Zappa gem! You guys are going real deep now! Weasel Ripped My Flesh is a classic. You guys know how to start a Saturday thanks!!!
Laa and Chee !! The Brothers reacting to the Mothers!!! Coool 😂!!
Definitely one of my favorite FZ. Jams. Dude could play anything. Was only one FZ lol
Please listen to "Directly From My Heart To You" from the same album. A great Little Richard cover.
he's just the best. it keeps coming back to frank. a font of creativity. we're lucky he was obsessed with recording everything.
Zappa...one of a kind, man...
One of the groups that Frank signed to his label was the doo-wop group The Persuasions-- the released a tribute album called Frankly Acappella in the late 1990s-early aughts that was their covering a bunch of Zappa songs, this one included. Worth checking out.
My first time hearing this. I’ve got all day for it.
Had to bite on this one! Frank Zappa has to be one of the most brilliant music composers of all time. And the talent of his band is off the charts. And this guy was so much more than just a musician. You should look up the US Senate subcommitte hearings on censorship that Frank appeared before for many years. He was a take no prisoners champion of freedom of expression. There was even a rumor he was looking into running for President of the United States-could you even imagine that? Sadly, he was taken away from us far too early, dying from, of all things, prostate cancer at the age of 53.
And the world is a poorer place for it.
Thanks for the choice and reaction! I know this is going to be great!
Well Put❗ His interviews on politics and religion were brilliant. No one like him. R I.P.
The unique genius of Frank Zappa! Always a wonderful adventure.
My favorite quote is from Frank: there’s no way to delay that trouble comin every day….☮️💜
The Perfect Expression Of American Discontent!!😁 RIP Maestro.
I saw a G3 concert in Seattle. It had Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngvie Malsteem. This was the final song they played. They were in a line with the guitarist in front playing lead for about 10 seconds, then that guitarist would fall to the back of the line and the next guitarist would take over; not unlike when you have group of racing bicyclists in a line with the front rider as the wind breaker for a period of time, then falling back so that the next could take over. And each of the leads was scorching, each trying to outdo the previous. There are various versions of this on TH-cam, many with Steve Vai, who used to be in Zappa'a band, and Satiani, and other various guitarists. I don't see the lineup I saw with Malsteem however.
Zappa is a subject of study all to himself. Brilliant, so missed. Lucky he was so prolific, writing and recording constantly. Stuff may continue to surface for years.
✌🏼😉🎶❤🍁❤️✨️🕊
Zappa always had great song titles
Just the title alone is a hoot! Try "Dirty Love" from the Overnight Sensation lp. Or "Camarillo Brillo". Or "Dinah Moe Humm". Or start at the beginning of the Mothers lps and work your way through them. Great stuff! Frank was a monster!
Frank originally wanted to call his first band "The Mothers" but the record label thought it was slang for motherf*ckers, so they added "of Invention". Either way it still works.
Ha, that does sound like a banjo! My wife had this lp before we got married, when she pulled it out, it sealed the deal! This one hints of Frank's love of Doo Wop, plenty of interesting tunes in Frank's early days and great recordings, sounds home made. The drums are hilarious in this one.
That's new for me and stuck in my head. Just what I needed...Zappa was out thare...
A classic Mothers track from 1970. Remember seeing this album in the record shop shortly after graduating from high school. The insane cover art definitely caught my eye (...and ripped my flesh!) ❤
RZZZZZ!
There used to be a show called American Bandstand, with Dick Clark. Features included a segment where a boy and a girl would rate a record. Somehow this song was chosen... they didn't like it. At all! Both gave it a score in the 30s out of 100. I was laughing so hard! Peace!
Awesome. Zappa is always great, and this is so fuzzy and groovy. Congrats on 50K guys!
I've been listening to Zappa since the early 70's... now thats a deep rabbit hole.Seen them twice.. great shows.
Always thought this was one of Frank's funniest. Wished it were longer
Great reaction! Zappa is my favorite guitarist/musician. There is an almost endless amount of music from Frank, and from the Mothers to choose from....
There’s usually no improvisation with Frank…He composes it all and they have charts…
Except the improvised solos and the set-aside improv areas - and you should be able to identify them easily.
If you like big switches in the middle of a song, check out Bad Brains "Give Thanks and Praises." They're a hardcore punk, reggae band from the 80s.
Dude was just different.
Been watching for many many years….can’t believe you got to THIS song 😎 this record was challenging for me when I first heard it. This is the easiest song to understand on the entire record!😂
The mothers❤❤❤
The best thing to come out of San Berdu.... ❤
Funktry! 🤗
You two need to do a deeper Zappa dive, a song every few months does not do him justice.
I haven’t heard Frank Zappa in years, I saw them in concert in 1976
Alex Winter, of Lost Boys and Bill and Ted fame, made a documentary about Zappa. He was given access to the Zappa vault to look through all of his writings and recordings, and he recorded everything. Great film, well worth the watch.
If the Airplay guys are intrigued by the Weasels album, there's a few things you need to know: (1) It's VERY heavy on atonal improvisational material (steered by Frank with his hand-signal system), including lots of free-tonal "vocalising" by that now-infamous bassist; (2) two edits exist of the track Didja Get Any Onya: the three-minute one (which inexplicably is now standard-issue), and the six-minute one (enough said); (3) two edits exist of the track Directly From My Heart To You: one which contains a solo by Frank (extending it to approx 10 minutes) and one which doesn't (which, again, is unfortunately "standard-issue"); (4) there's also an alternate edit of the track after that, but the only difference between them is a small moment of percussion which turns up again in another context on the Head Of Their Time album....Ok I'll shut up now.
Lots of changeups in this one. I don't remember ever hearing this one. My fav Zappa tune is "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee"
His song titles were often hilarious. The one you just quoted, I'm gonna have to pull that up on TH-cam. Brilliant maestro and great human being.R.I.P.
@@elisaabolafia9542 I think it's on his Joe's Garage album
They have to do joes garage
@@danielmoskowitz3060 That would be a good one!
Try “Trouble Everyday” Zappas 1966 response to the Watts riots in LA.
Possibly The Very First Rap Song, Given The Delivery, Cadence, And The Social Relevance Of The Times...
The amazing Don Preston on keys, and 2/5 of Little Feat too.
Frank is an amazing guitarist!!! Keep listening to him, especially when guitar phenom Steve Vai is in the group! I would love for you guys listen to some of David Lee Roth's solo albums, Eat me and Smile and Skyscraper. Put it this way David Lee Roth had Eddie Van Halen! So you know when he left and wanted to compete with Van Halen with Hagar. Think about what kind of guitar player would have to cut the mustard? Steve Vai squeezed out the whole bottle of mustard!!! Trust Me Guys!!!
This is a great song that Zappa wrote to poke fun at My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Same with "Oh No" (criticizing "All You Need Is Love", John Lennon loved The Mothers regardless.
Not true. The song originates in his 1964-65 failed rock opera project I Was A Teenage Maltshop (the evidence is on the Joe's Xmasage audio-documentary album)
It didn't become a regular part of the repertoire until 1969 and then we had the waffling between two arrangements - the funky one which became the single and this complex one which was played most of the time (but not all the time) in the pre-Hot-Rats era.
One of the first few albums I bought.
At first when you hear Zappa you think what is this garbage but after a few listens you think this is GENIUS ❤
My least favorite song on the album by far.
@@neilmartin99 oh for sure I just mean in general
I remember this record cover 😅
all the horns were recorded and then sped up to get that cartoony effect. He does that a lot.
Check out Frank Zappa playing “Stairway to Heaven “
If you want to catch up documentaries! Check the TH-cam video "Steve Vai about Frank Zappa" (7:07) on how the song "What's new in Baltimore?" was created.
Your reaction was very entertaining as usual!
⚡️ED!!!! ....💥AP ☘️🇺🇲
In case nobody told you- at first it was Zappa and the Mothers. Record company made Frank change it because they thought it meant Mother F-ers. Can you imagine? What's more American, more wholesome, than a Mother?
A musical genius who died way too young.
The instrumental part was pure avant-garde. I'm always in anticipation of that. This is a deep cut. His voice was higher at that time, it was a few years before the Rainbow theatre incident, attacked by a audience member. Due to that his voice dropped a few keys.
Now yall HAVE TO check out “Directly from my heart to you” from this same album! Holy shit! What a banger! With Don “sugarcane” Harris on the fiddle! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
a Little Richard cover
My favorites:
Oh No and Orange County Lumber Truck listened together. Maybe stop just before Weasels Ripped My Flesh plays ;-0 Many versions of these throughout his career. This with Ray Collins on vocals is very nice.
I also like and recommend the A Token of My Extreme Version.
Oh, and most definitely check out this version: "Frank Zappa: "OH NO" | Frankfurt Radio Big Band | Mike Holober". It's awesome!
Toads of the Short Forest (morphs from very beautiful to challenging advant-garde...)
Got to give Franks song " Titties and Beers!"
My dudes...
PLEASE react to the live version of this when Steve Vai was in the band!
Crazy! Thanks guys
That album cover art. lol
More Frank
2 words- Overnite Sensation. Best Zappa/Mothers album by far. Dinah Moe Hum & Zomby Woof best 2 songs. And The Slime. And Dirty Love. And...
Not necessarily for a reaction video, but as just something to soak in, you may want to check out this very young Zappa being interviewed by Steve Allen. Remarkable because of how long it is, and how completely different than most anything you see on TV these days. You can see the weird genius of Frank even in this odd setting, th-cam.com/video/y9P2V0_p6vE/w-d-xo.html
Mr. Musical Genius
I really like this and Oh No and the Orange County Lumber Truck. I find Zappa insufferable normally, all that humour just gets quite grating but occasionally he pulls one out of the hat. Peaches En Regalia is just sheer joy. Having said that We’re Only In It For The Money is a damn good album.
G3(joe satriani,steve vai n eric johnson)live version of this song is fire.....
Zappa's Mothers' definately not a jam band. A composer self-taught in
music theory, Frank wrote out charts for each instrument and you had damn
well play them as written or you'd be looking for a new gig . Fortunately,
he also had a genius for finding like minded players who respected his
disipline and stayed with him through many years.
Some time, listen to Fine Girl by FZ. It's a hoot!
She was a fine girl
With a lovely smile, with a bucket on her head full of water from the well
She could run a mile
Oh Yeah
She wouldn't spill a drop it would stay on top
Her head was kind of flat but her hair covered that
She was a fine girl
She didn't need no school, she was built like a mule with a thong sandal.
Well
Was a no kind of job she could not handle
She could get down, with the get down
All the way down
We need some more like that!
Rzzzzzzz!
If you have not done Willy the Pimp please do!
You gotta admit Weasels Ripped My Flesh is one of the better album titles. This song kind of predates Zappa really mastering guitar, like his solos a couple years later. But you still get the weird Varèse like composition section. It's been a long time, but I remember this album having these odd avant garde sections kind of littered thru the whole thing.
Dynamo hum
Not bad but way better songs on that album.
This one is probably my least favorite on that record.
Check out "Directly From My Heart To You."
