More Zappa ! , More Zappa ! , More Zappa !
Literally no one like Zappa. Musical genius with 100pct tongue in cheek sense of humor. His brain was just different 😅
...likes...
His ideas about government and culture were extreme at the time. But he predicted most of the stupidity going on now.
Love his music
"I write and play music for myself, my sole intended audience" Frank Zappa
True musical genius
This album is a masterpiece. You guys should listen to it front to back. I miss Frank.
No other musician on the planet, living or dead, has made more of an impact observing the human condition than Frank Zappa. I would give anything to hear his comments about humans nowadays, considering there's a LOT more ignorant humans than ever before!! Miss you Frank... RIP.
agree about the ignorance, guess its part of our local, state, and federal "leadership"...
Not true at all gen z and gen x are picking up the pieces of the worst generation in historys mess left after the last 50 years
It's a thin line between genius and crazy.
Absolutely, genius level. Zappa was from another dimension, I’m convinced.🔥🔥
He wrote and played for the lovers of great music, not the music biz, much respect
It's great to see you young guys discover Frank. I'm 64 years old. I've loved him since I was 16.
After all these years I still sing along to these Zappa songs…. Great googly moogly!
Frank left genius in his dust. On playing his music, I've heard musicians in interviews comment on how difficult bordering on the impossible it was to play his music. There will never be another Zappa. The music industry won't support it.
Frank Zappa was a superb musician & storyteller R.I.P.
One of my Saturday morning ‘cleaning the apartment’ albums. 💜
He was delighted as it stiffened and ripped right through his sock.
"My music is like a movie for your ears": FZ.
Thaks for react to this. One of my Zappa's Jam's
One of the great American composers of the 20th century
I had the immense pleasure of shaking hands with Frank Zappa at Dorval in Montreal in 1974.
Lucky you Marc❗ I must tell you that Women who were into his Music 🎵 and his Genius, found him incredibly SEXY because he was one of a kind. Confidence galore and always evolving. A treasure. R.I.P.
Black Napkins is so good, I had no idea Frank could play the guitar like that.
As a kid who grew up in Canada this song was a cautionary tale
Frank was other worldly!!! RIP FZ.🥁☮☘
he wasn't high when he wrote it but most of us were high when we listened to it.
I was a young dumb metalhead who thought Zappa was pretentious garbage until I got high in my friend’s garage and he played Apostrophe. Life changing!
He wasn't a songwriter, he was a composer
Now THIS is Xmas music 😂 you have yellow snow, dog doo
doo,pancakes and a leprechaun stroking it!
Merry Christmas everyone 😊
There's been many documentary type programs about Zappa. And many interviews in trade magazines like Guitar Player. He used to hire entire orchestras, and would sit them down and set the sheet music in front of them. One guy they interviewed was an old man who played violin. And he said "I asked him how he learned to do all this ? And Frank answered " I went to the library ."
I think when God was handing out brains, Frank got in line twice
Great story John ❗ Thanks for that 😊
Yup, in the 80s there were two albums released of the London Symphony orchestra playing music composed and arranged entirely by Zappa
Zappa would actually conduct the band on stage with a baton in his hand. He was composer, producer, arranger, lyricist, conductor, vocalist and stunning lead guitarist. He was also a mentor to all his other musicians, and pushed them to levels they never even dreamed they could achieve. For instance, Zappa encouraged George Duke to try synthesizers (which he did very successfully) and shaped the sound and tone of musicians like Steve Vai. By the way, I believe Zappa actually started out as a drummer.

Steve Vai describes auditioning for Zappa:

Glad to see y'all react to Frank Zappa. "I am the Slime" is a great song.
and more relevant than ever
The first album i listen from Frank, i was 15 years old. I thought, there is music and there is Frank Zappa. After that i was hooked.
Now that you mention it, I don't remember ever dancing at a Frank concert. On my feet more than once, but not dancing!
No matter how many times you listen to Frank’s songs you hear something you missed. Awesome!
Zappa’s his own deal. One of the best blues songs ever. “ from my heart to yours “
Directly From My Heart To You was a Little Richard song that Frank and the Mothers played brilliantly with Don "Sugarcane" Harris on violin and lead vocals.
First time I heard this was in HS art class - '76 I think . This album made me laugh, but at the same time, we were amazed at how wild the music is. Glad you guys like it.
Frank Zappa is and will always be someone to look up to in music. He developed his music, his way and was always true to his craft.
Zappa is a genius and kind of an acquired taste. A very talented musician. Joe's Garage is a rabbit hole to go down for sure.
My very first exposure to Zappa---- been hooked ever since. Man was a genius...
Crazy, genius composer! Imagine the fun working with him!
Frank Zappa is a legend and just a cool dude! He sings like he's rapping! A unique musician!
Frank was a must at our regular poker games and we sang along knowing all the words. We all loved Frank
Poker and maybe some mother nature perhaps!
Y'all need, neeeed to get on this whole album. Thanks, guys.
There's only one Frank Zappa. Not just one of the greatest musicians ever, but also by far one of the funniest lyricists.
Zappa was definitely a vibe 😂 His creativity is crazy
I’m 62, Lol my big bro who’s gonna be 70 this month. Turned me on to Frank. I didn’t mean to come across badly. How cool is it, that we not only have these guys not only reacting to Frank. But are actually hearing his genius. We both know you either hear Frank or you don’t. Merry Christmas my brother 🎅🏻
Zappas a genius for sure......the story is from a dream he had and was able to retain the story when he woke and then put it to music
Great reaction gentlemen!! And Che, “He sizzled my brain” is just fantastic!!
8:38 oh snap yall are doing the whole jam👍🏾👌🏾
The story I heard was that when Lowell George, then a member of the Mothers, brought him his song “Willin’”, Zappa told him it was tome to start his own band, & we got Little Feat! Another great reaction. ✌️❤️🎶
He kicked him out of the band for writing a song about drugs. Good for us.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze Really, name one artist in Frank's band that WASN'T good enough to be on their own. What a silly argument.
Ha!!!! Look up Zappa Jewish Princess......
America's Greatest Composer!
Chronologically, by birth: Stephen Foster (1826), Irving Berlin (1888), Cole Porter (1891), George Gershwin (1898), Frank Zappa (1940), Paul Simon (1941)
The looks on BOTH of your faces during the melody here is what I call "Frank Face"...he's GOT YOU❗️❗️
A million thanks for some ZAPPA. His catalog is immense. He was one of a kind. I’m a huge fan and anything I could write or say about him has already been done. I’ve read his books and seen and own almost every video of him air and ones he’s created. Peace
Ruth Underwood was so good on this album. Her percussion was right on time... Her "Classic Albums" interview about the "Apostrophe" and "Overnight Sensation" albums is really cool.
You either immediately get that Zappa is on a level of his own, or you are left scratching your head and dont get it, you guys get it! Zappa is a huge rabbit hole. Incredible composer and producer, underrated guitar player
If you want some more commercially tinged songs from Frank here's a few: Camarillo Brillo, Po-Jama People, Bobby Brown, Joe's Garage (the song) & one of the greatest instrumentals Black Napkins.
Fella's, if you want to hear a great Zappa album check out Zoot Allures. The song The Torture Never Stops is WILD. Frank was a musical genius. He wrote every part for every instrument and actually scored it on paper. Been listening to him for years.
Flies all green and buzzin'
In this dungeon of despair
Yea I had that album. Remember at the time a friend told me that Zoot Allures was from some African language meaning “Oh Shit” I don’t know if that is true or not. I did get to see him live a couple times in the seventies.
Start with the Title Track, just to get them hooked...
It's actually a French exclamation. Like Darn it, damn it, shoot, etc.@@bradsense7431
He writes/wrote it all and he writes his own musical scores by hand
Keep listening to Frank you two, I was lucky enough to have seen him in London 1988. Never been to a gig after that, that mattered
I can only imagine
Sense of humor. Sense of Timing, Sense of Sound, Sense of Spiritual experimentation. Just alot of Sense....Zappa. 2+23+2024
I can't listen to this without laughing and I've been hearing it since it came out, just genius.
Me too! Great GooglyMoogly!
"And he stood up and he looked around and said I can't see!". 😂
His debut on TV. He played a Bicycle...😂
Lowell George and Roy Estrada, founding members of Little Feat, both played in Zappa's band before forming the Feat.
In terms of his writing and melodies, nobody was as brilliantly volatile as Zappa. I couldn't even fathom the depths of his mind that he reached to make something like this
You have to understand the time in life... I had Frank Zappa and P-Funk on 8 track at the same time!! Life and music was SO GOOD!
Great reaction guys, yeah Frank was a genius, another great one I love is Dinah Moe Hum off the Over-Nite Sensation album
Saw Zappa and the Mothers 4 times in the 70's. One of the shows became the album Just Another Band From L.A. Phenomenal showman! With nothing but some of the finest musicians on the world!
This album, along with Parliament, Dr. Demento, Mel Brooks, and Monty Python's Flying Circus helped to warp my sense of humor and general world view. To this day I have been know to ask "is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?"
Frank was always showing the establishment music industry that he could make excellent music with nonsensical lyrics and the people would love it.
I watch a lot of Zappa reactions. Yours are among the best. No BS, you have good ears and good comments. I’ve been a fan since 1973 when someone brought the album that “Billy the Mountain” is on (Just Another Band from LA) and I was hooked at 15 years old.
You can’t see Frank anymore, but his son Dweezl has a band - Zappa Plays Zappa - and the concerts are as amazing as you could imagine! If they come your way, get tix!
Frank was definitely a genius.
I loved this since I heard it when it first came out, and I am still blown away every time I hear it. 😅
Love him or hate him, you cannot deny the fact he was very creative and the band was very tight.
Thanx for the great reaction. I´m looking forward to your next Zappa-reaction. The songs Andy or San Ber´dino would be nice.
Shout out to Ruth Underwood on the xylophone specifically on St Alphonso's.🎶🎵
Zappa played a bicycle as an instrument on the Steve Allen Show, late 60's. Pure musical genius
You guys should react to “Son of Orange County/ Trouble Everyday” from the album Roxy & Elsewhere.
Zappa wrote silly funny lyrics, but he also wrote biting sociopolitical critiques.
Also check out the Mahavishnu Orchestra, they came out around the same time as Zappa and there was actually some competition between them on musicianship, virtuosity and originality. I’d recommend the song “Eternity’s Breath Pt. 1 and 2” from the album Visions of the Emerald Beyond
I remember sitting around in a friends basement in the 70s, getting stoned, listening to this for the first time. It's still mind blowing stuff all these years later! You have to listen to it a few times. Try it with a little attitude adjustment...
He was a genius and he was self-taught in music, famous for saying: If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want to get educated, go to the library.
Saw them live in the 70’s at Maples Pavilion, Stanford University- incredible the performance unbelievable. The music breaks - I was high , and shit they were just insanely good.
I saw him in 71, I think that it was the Just Another Band From L.A. tour with the guys from the Turtles in his band..they did an unreal performance of Willie the Pimp...
Can you imagine what the musical charts looked like as these musicians read and performed . this is insane music
Freaking drumming was just insane.
They actualy did it with Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and that album is the most unhinged thing ever and it took months for the band to learn how to play what Zappa wrote for them.
This is my first time listen to Zappa. I Know he wass...I saw documuntales about him, but this is my first time. Thanks...Is so diferent.....No one is like he....There are no words to me. Genius.
Just in time for winter... words to live by with a funky beat
Frank Zappa wrote music for himself and a lot could not figure him out but he was pure music and you have to get into each instrument on his songs to really appreciate him. Peace & Love
This was the suite that made me stand up and take notice back in the day. It's genius.
George Duke played keys for Zappa in early - mid 70"s (Overnite Sensation/ Apostrophe/ One Size Fits All) -- phenomenal jazz artist and composer who was core to chemistry of those albums. Co-wrote and vocals on Uncle Remus off Apostophe is great expample of his talent
I didn’t know he co-wrote Uncle Remus! Wow!
You guys NEVER miss an important detail. I really think you are consistently the BEST at making these reaction videos of anyone out there, and that's saying something.
I have seen Frank Zappa & Band back in the early 70's... The show was mind blowing to say the least. They preformed this suite of songs as there opener... WOW I'm still trying to wrap my head around that show till this day!!
Frank and a razor blade. My f'in HERO. Genius is spot on.
Zappa is definitely a crazy rabbit hole to delve into.
Frank zappa music was like looking at an abstract painting. An interesting journey always.
Finally someone who turns up the bass. The bass was another lead guitar track. They were paramount in his music. Thanks. It was great.
It’s one thing recording this but they played it all live. Mind-blowing.
Inca Roads is the song from him that made me a fan Its amazing check it out
they did
I think they did Inca Roads.
If you want a different take on FZ “Blessed Relief” from the Grand Wazoo is a beautiful jazz instrumental.
There is a Blu-ray of this lineup called Roxy - the Movie that captures what this band was capable of and how Frank directed and interacted with these musicians. The percussion is to die for...
About the drugs and his band. There was a saying "Window or Aisle" meaning which seat would you like for your trip home if you did drugs. It was his name that would suffer if a band member screwed up. Flo and Eddy were the only members to smoke a joint in the studio ONE TIME and keep their job. They had just been hired and were very early on their first day. They begged for their lives to stay in the band. As punishment he hired a German Teacher and made them learn German and translate when in Europe. I went to all 5 Dweezilla events. Flo and Eddy told this story to us
Don't be afraid to smile guys.......it's funnnny!
PURE GENIUS!!! Lowell George, Bill Payne, Roy Estrada and Richie Hayward all members of The Mothers Of Invention before forming Little Feat. Frank was so far ahead of his time. Excellent reaction fellas 👌 Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
It's really pretty much who DIDN'T play with Frank Zappa?? He had Flo & Eddie from the Turtles in his band, he's had Steve Vai in his band, he's had George Duke in his band, he's had Terry Bozzio in his band! The list is enormous and not to mention that he discovered Alice Cooper too!!😮😮❤
Chester Thompson on drums, for a while (Between his gigs with Mahavishnu Orchestra and touring with Genesis). Jean-Luc Ponty on violin, too!
Adrian Belew,,Who played with Talking Heads, King Crimson, and more
Vinnie Colaiuta,Who played for Allan Holddworth, Leonard Cohen,Joni Mitchell
Among other musicians who played with Zappa
And the great Ruth Underwood.
As a producer he is responsible for Grand Funk Railroad ,Good Singin 'Good Playin'
I first heard him when i was 16... blew me away... I'm 62 now and still love the man and his music.
Frank Zappa; certified genius, 210 IQ, Rhodes Scholar. Frank blew me away so much as a young musician in the 1970's I grew my facial hair and soul patch under my lower lip, as a Tribute. I'm still rocking it 45 years later. Frank's Son Twezzle Zappa, tours regularly playing full albums by his Dad. 🎶🫴🕊🇨🇦
Great reaction guys!
Frank Zappa was a one of kind musical genius who had a magical imagination that fused impeccable musicians hip with storytelling and comedy! Just so gifted and a one off badass guitarist!! R.I.P. Frank Zappa…
Well put John❗ After High School classes,my gang of friends would go party in Vito's basement and listen to Frank Zappa through 4 feet tall VOICE OF THE THEATER speakers. We were hard core Zappa fans🎵🎵🎵
