It's true that life is short... but Frank Zappa did more in his short life than most could do in ten lives. Happy to hear the estate was purchased by someone who appreciates him.
@@Bluzian74 shit, man I hope Jagger's kid can respect of the history of the place, and not turn it into some a style statement that just becomes wack next year.
That makes me sick all over true. I hate to ask if it's true because I really really really really don't want to believe it. And if it is true I don't I really wanna know.
rorshakks Yup, Gaga bought it all right. But it could have been worse, it could have ended up in the hands of some Dubai Sheik ripping it down and erecting some horror story in its place.
Frank Zappa had a fascinating career, recording more than 60 albums before he died in 1993 at the age of 52. Much of that work was done in his famous home recording studio, the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen
this is not the original utility muffin research kitchen recording studio , it burns in the early years of FZ before hot rat album was published . the fire was provoked by pieces of magnesium recording tape in a vacum cleaner . magnesium have a high flammable capacity and the movement of these pieces in the vacum cleaner bag initiate fire ... that's also why you can ofently see a hoover vacum cleaner on zappa LP covers
This may be the first time I've felt jealous about anything. No, never even felt jealous about a girlfriend or my wife. But Lady Gaga, you've stolen my dream. Not that I could afford it. Hell, I can barely afford the house I'm living in now, never mind a "compound" worth $5 mill.
Frank spent all his time in the studio in the basement of the home, only wandering upstairs to make the occasional Burnt Weeny Sandwich and heading off to bed. He wouldn't have missed it much anyway.
* *Mr. Zolat Czakl,* * - He'd venture to his dangerous kitchen occasionally, right? His pet cat, 'Tink' often ran amok while his radio's were all broken. Damn! To make it worse, he lived at the foot a dangerous mountain (with its small wooden wife). Rocks and boulders came crashing-down on a regular basis, which explained why Lady Gaga didn't buy it for 13 million.
Isn't it kind of hard to believe that the Zappa kids would actually want to sell the house ? They live their own lives now of course so, I guess each with receive $1.5M and change. But unless they have bad memories of the place growing up, it just seems sad that they would end up letting it go.
While Peaches was a great song to use for the music, I was thinking that maybe Little House I Used To Live In from the Mothers Live At The Fillmore would have been just as good. Thanx for posting this.
I'm surprised it didn't get more. It could've generated a lot of money as a sort of museum with people paying to walk through. Maybe have a well-singed hot dog on his tennis court.
@@jwc3o2 Absolutely. I can imagine. I would have loved to have been a guest. I met Frank when I worked at a place called Sound One Brill Building in Manhattan, famous for its Motown origins. I took a snap shot of him in the editing room and made a button of the pic. He was fine with it. The camera loves Frank. I lost the roll but saved the shot. I don't know how that happened? He was editing Baby Snakes and I was a foley sound editor. In five minutes I felt I knew him my whole life. I liked him and became a fan.
To all the posters here who are appalled by Lady Gaga buying the house: Why? Because she is “strictly from commercial”? The problem is that nobody who is making contemporary avant-garde music could afford to buy it. You have to be a “strictly commercial” artist to pay the price tag. Frank wasn’t above producing shit to make money, look at the “titties ‘n beer” stuff. I think he would have approved of Lady Gaga buying it.
I'm pretty sure that it isn't, Bob. Although I'm told by an infrequent visitor of 'the cabin' that it was indeed located in the near vicinity (of Laurel Cyn). A storied place you can imagine and it being the late 60s early 70s evermore so in fact as FZ had come to devise and adopt something of an 'open door' brand of hospitality regarding his residence. The extemporaneous weekend 'anything can happen' art/music happenings were instant legend. The neighborhood was the perfect set for it, maybe too perfect. By most accounts along with most amazing, uncontrived events the uncontrolled element is also a factor. Plenty of freaks made the pilgrimage regularly, regularly bringing plenty more, all good intentions. And the inevitable less than well intentioned came to be a part of and of course their kind of interaction requires a number of the like minded, so they as well regularly brought along more irregulars. There were some really unfortunate events involving intense inebriation and lack of respect to most everyone, and when politely asked by him for the sake of all to behave otherwise, not least of all their host and his family. Things came to some kind of ridiculous focus and weren't ever the same. Firearms were brandished on one occasion. Drug transactions, violent intent and just about everything the complete opposite of what the manifesto of the house stood for to begin with along with the inability to shake this turn of events and it's cause led the Zappas to move out entirely after only a couple years of it being their home. Sad but, one front door closes, another, nicer for sure one opens....
@@peterhlinka4789 NOT the Log Cabin. Zappa was only there for a short time (2401 Laurel Canyon Blvd.). I have read reports that he was there from '66 to '68, or, alternatively, only for about 5 months in 1968. The Log Cabin later burned to the ground. I believe the address remains only a lot presently without a home on it.
it was missed showing the secret passages and caves that interconnect many other "states" or condoms of the place. if just the walls spoke. many young musicians singers writers etc that died in strange circumstances. and his dark background related with the military complex. and the prostitution business very popular by there. many powerful and strange forces summoned on that place. manyt sacrifices
I think you are talking about the infamous Log Cabin at 2401 Laurel Canyon Blvd., which supposedly had an underground cave that connected across the street to the Houdini estate. This is a different house.
There is an interesting article about Zappa and MKUltra. There were quite a few musicians who were children of military men. Morrison’s Father was an Admiral during the Vietnam war.
Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon by David McGowan brought me here. Wild that the hippie movement was likely being steered by the military industrial complex. Gorgeous house though!
This is NOT the blueberry colored house where Frank, Gayle and Diva lived. This is bullshit. Furthermore, Zappa did NOT live IN Laural Canyon. He lived just off Mulholland Drive. And he did not drink alcohol or use drugs. THIS IS A BULLSHIT VIDEO...FALSE ADVERTISING.
duster71 9 joints in 10 years... I think it’s pretty safe to say the man was not an advocate of drugs as the original comment alludes to. However I do disagree with the claim it is, “false advertising”. It was Frank Zappa’s house despite whatever the decor says. I’d be happy to live there just because of this fact,
Imagine, a place where historic music was made, and so many obscure and talented musicians gathered to play. At the helm the captain of the ship Frank Zappa, with his razor sharp wit and unfiltered mind. Now to be replaced by the generic, corporate, mass produced, mind numbing garbage, of today's, dumb as a rock, generation. The queen of which is Lady Gaga, the name says it all. Talk about the shit cart following the king's parade.
If this is true (Gaga) , let's hope she doesn't lay a finger on anything in the studio. Despite being famous & being able to afford this, she is certainly not worthy. Let's hope she respects the Legacy, because she is nowhere close to his orbit in the firmament. Frank would have Gagged on the thought ...
the generic staging killed the reason I clicked to watch. Only thing that was "zappa-like," was the studio with the electrical plugs visibly un-plugged. Great property, shitty presentation as the Zappa estate..
agreed: it's made to look pretty fuckin' sterile here except for the basement & some of the outside areas. lots missing, too, but whaddya expect from a real estate company? presenting everything so disconnectedly was unfortunate: a "tour of the house & grounds" would've given a better understanding of how things were connected.
@@mwarnken1234 look, he is probably an Elvis fan. and if he is what does he know about good music. He wouldn't know good music if it walked up and bit him on the ass.
Frank Zappa is arguably the greatest musical artist of the twentieth century, definitely this house should be a national historic treasure.
It should be preserved and turned into a museum!
Imaging walking into Zappa's house and Peaches in Regalia start sounding through the walls.
and Dinah-Moe Humm in the bed room
@@onazram1 only after some poking and stroking
It's true that life is short... but Frank Zappa did more in his short life than most could do in ten lives. Happy to hear the estate was purchased by someone who appreciates him.
@Mr Schmeltz despite people insisting on hating the only truly musically gifted pop star we currently have, he's NOT kidding.
wait 'til ya find out who the new current home owner is. lolz cheers.
@@Bluzian74 shit, man I hope Jagger's kid can respect of the history of the place,
and not turn it into some a style statement that just becomes wack next year.
Only Zappa could get me watching a real estate video on TH-cam! Now where can I get the 5.5 million?
HAHAHA...my thoughts exactly!
Ask Lady fucking Gaga! She bought it!
Get it the same way the Government does steal it....
That makes me sick all over true. I hate to ask if it's true because I really really really really don't want to believe it. And if it is true I don't I really wanna know.

Thank God, Lady Gaga is the one who bought it. One can appreciate her artistry. I hope Zappa's soul will let her be more creative!
maybe if she admits shes a bloke?
a musical genius taken away way too soon

It’s not really worth 5 million. Anyone who buys a house in California pays at least 4 times what it’s worth
I wish there were more home videos available of their daily lives there while they were in residence.
Frank spent all his time in the studio in the basement of the home, only wandering upstairs to make the occasional Burnt Weeny Sandwich and heading off to bed. He wouldn't have missed it much anyway.

This video should be in a Historic Museum...
All the history , evidence , dna , fingerprints .... it's a landmark .
I had planned on living here with Moon but it didn’t work out.
did you zap her though?
Wow, I love Frank Zappa and the GTO's

Some people aren't attached to material things.
Supposedly they were in debt
Excellent choice of music.
Really nice video ,.......well done guys !
Best house I have ever seen. Superb.
So well done… kudos.
Beautiful house. I didn't know it was so big, though.
While Peaches was a great song to use for the music, I was thinking that maybe Little House I Used To Live In from the Mothers Live At The Fillmore would have been just as good. Thanx for posting this.
That was the first piece of Zappa music I ever heard at 11 years old!
Or burnt weenie sandwich.
Only thing I regret about not being rich is not having 5.5M to buy this.
Gaga makes art is this house 🔥

Whoever did the staging did a great job!
NO, they didn't.
It's an interesting house, looks easy to get lost in...which depending on who you are could be a selling point.
Nice DW's

"Alice Cooper"

Great Estate .....
Peaches in Regalia!

Nice House!!!
What has become of the contents of the vault?
I wonder how much the Pollock was bought for.
Gez' ... what size bed is that? And where do you even get sheets that size, much less wash them? He must have a laundry service do them.
Well done on the music choice
And now Gaga sold it to Lizzy Jagger in Nov '21 for $ 6.5 million...
Now that's the kind of place that someone like Wild Man Fisher could call 'home.'
Wow...that is a lot of house for a family of six people.
6 people plus staff, friends & a constant flow of guests, bizzy all year'round!
