Yes, he was...so erudite, factual, VERY humble, humorous and surprise surprise hero qualities of ALL, extremely intelligent, articulate and everything else you dream about...a REAL musician, too! X x enjoy
Frank Zappa is turning in his grave over our current Censorship of TH-cam..He called it straight on our bleak future well here we are and this time We are going to Win!!
Most interviewers have not expected most rock musicians to be as intelligent and articulate, many rock musicians have degrees, some doctorates. This used to be discussed back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. The regular public were quite surprised.
Really? So you think it's bullshit for the media to glorify violence, while at the same time frown upon love-making? Or do you disagree with the fact that there are no dirty words? Aren't you conservatives usually very specific about what scares you? You could point out what it is that's got you crying, you know.
Zappa, who's father was a military officer, was a great tool for the Nixon administration. He came in to prominence right around the same time the Charles Manson boogeyman fairy tale came in to existence. All of the people involved with the Charles Manson boogeyman fairy tale had high ranking members of the military in their families. The Manson boogeyman story was created to discredit peace loving "hippies" that were protesting the multi trillion dollar weapons manufacturing bonanza AKA the Vietnam war. Zappa, with his poo poo jokes and potty mouth lyrics, was seen as a moron by the vast majority of voters. Nixon paid him well for his service to our country.
Buzzard King51, you are a totally deluded conspiracy theorist. I don't even know where to begin, your view of reality is completely obscured - Charles Manson and his control over easily-manipulated people was very real. The war was going to happen regardless, they didn't need an elaborate (and impossible) conspiracy for that. Zappas lyrics covered way more than just "poo poo jokes". You are delusional, but it IS pretty entertaining to read the writings of a person living in a reality that doesn't exist.
nice idea - but it in current climate - it might be better if teachers instructed kids to do their alcohol drinking homework and "say no to Frank Zappa"..
10 hours of Zappa interviews is a large dose, whoa! I'm sure Frank would have had something interesting to say about this... Thanks DoomKid for archiving, chronologizing to whatever degree, & publishing here. Well 10 hours of Zappa talking is fair game to me, if not all at once, because there's certainly more than 10 hours of Zappa's music in my disc library. Started following Zappa in 1970, when my big brother, knowing I was into music, gave me a copy of "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" for my 11th birthday. By the time I was 18 I had seen him in concert 3 times & had all his available albums.... before he put out like 50 more. No question that Frank Zappa was one of the undisputed geniuses of contemporary music. Whether or not you can relate to his music, his personality, his ideology, his lifestyle in particular (moving a groupie into the house to live with the wife & kids), Zappa was a brilliantly incisive mind who took no nonsense from nooo--body, & he made it a point to make his point everywhere possible, playing the viciously anti-TV anthem "I'm The Slime" on live national TV... But Frank Zappa the man, for all his ultra-blunt, cynical, self-assuredly critical approach, was inside a conflicted & even hypocritical person, who fought hard to defend the right to do the very things which arguably cause the erosion or destruction of family life, which is probably the most important anchor of sanity & stability that a society has, & without which, the same human flaws & idiosyncrasies that Zappa was so ready & able to criticize have escalated into the all-out mayhem we have today, every maniac with his gun on a killing spree. There's a limit to how far people can manage with no limits. Maybe some censorship is a good thing, not by government bodies who impose their controls over people's creative works, rather by the artists themselves, to exercise some judgment, self-restraint, & refinement of taste in their creative work, in order to elevate people's consciousness through art & music, instead of pummeling them with vulgarity, which I really don't need my 4-year-old exposed to, blasting out of the loudspeakers at the amusement park, which Zappa defended in front of a Senate committee. Zappa would strangle me if he knew that I went & created my own edits of some of his classic albums such as "Uncle Meat", leaving all the amazing music & deleting all the interruptive spoken word tracks with superfluous profanity, which was funny maybe the 1st 3 times but wears thin after a few decades of repeated listening. I don't need that to feel 'liberated', thanks but no thanks Frank. It can actually get oppressive after a while. The period of Zappa's career featuring Flo & Eddie, with the possible exception of some of "200 Motels", was to my mind some of the worst garbage he ever released, with the music at times relegated to 10-minute redundant vamps as backtracks for whole albums of 6th-grade-level peepee humor that I thought was retarded in 5th grade... A big letdown after Burnt Weeny Sandwich. Zappa couldn't just compose his brilliant music & let that stand for itself as "art"; he had to smear some scum on it, "just because"... which in the end is self-deprecation, conflicted emotions... Zappa attacked every ill of society from top to bottom, but offered few practical solutions to the pervasive problems he saw. This might be partially due to his stubborn refusal to accept the existence of anything spiritual. To Zappa's way of thinking, human life is more or less a random, arbitrary experience with no higher purpose or moral responsibility. Anyway, as some comment here, we could use someone like him around now, if only as a conscious whistle-blower to awaken a brain-dead society from its zombie-like slumber. - Papa Greene 2019 papagreenemusic@gmail.com Groucho O'Rooney @Facebook
I am on Zappa's side about the lyrics and the rejection of religion, but I just want to say that your comment was a joy to read. I love hearing people's accounts of how they discovered Zappa. Frank actually said he was somewhat spiritual, just not in a conventional way or a way that words could even describe. It's not here, it's out there somewhere in the TH-cam ether... I found that very relatable, though. He saw a lot of what people like Pat Robertson were doing and spoke out against that and against many other similar people who used religion for their various schemes. I think people often misunderstand that as him looking down on spiritual or religious people. I also love his vulgarity and the humor in general in his music, despite listening to him regularly for about 8 years now I still laugh my ass off at some of his songs! I wasn't a huge fan of the Flo & Eddie era either, My favorite stuff was both before and after them, the mid-80's Zappa band was incredibly talented. My parents exposed me to a lot of music and film that had mature themes and language as a kid, including Frank Zappa music and a lot of other popular music from the 60's and 70's that was called objectionable. These days that bar for vulgarity is much higher I admit, and a lot of musical and otherwise content I hear does strike me as "scummy and kinda gross" for lack of a better description, but at the same time I do not like the idea of censorship, since every person is going to be exposed to the grossness/weirdness/etc of general life at some point anyway. To me personally, it's better to be exposed at a young age so a kid can ask their parents about it, and the parents can explain to them whether or not it is something abhorrent or somehow bad. If they are ignorant to it and get exposed later in life, unscrupulous entities might try to take advantage of that. Zappa said something along these lines, and it really resonated with me. Anyway, I'll stop spamming you with this huge comment now. Thanks a lot for the well thought out comment, I really enjoyed reading it and responding to it!
@doomkid thank you so very much for compiling & posting all these interviews, wow, what a feat! great job. As someone who followed his career & supported him whole heartily, I have never seen some of these interviews & that's really saying something, this was obviously a labor of love. Frank was a one of a kind guy who never sacrificed his integrity & as these interviews show never backed down from the truth no matter what era or political climate.His courage, wisdom & fearlessness on being outspoken never waivered. What was frustrating was hearing these interviewers year after year decade after decade, having this brilliant genius of a man in front of them asking him dumb questions like 'why did you name your kids those names' 'how about those sixties?' geez, didn't they ever do research & realize how many times that had been asked before, apparently not. But thru all the years of having to repeat himself & answer stupid insulting questions Frank powered thru with patience knowing who he was dealing with (the media) not losing sight of the larger message he wanted out in the world. Because he was so unique & ahead of his time while simultaneously being topical I feel like he was extremely misunderstood & mishandled in the media. To me he still doesn't get the credit & the kudos he deserves. Hopefully the fact that this content exists will be inspiration & education to a whole new generation.
Having watched content having to do with Zappa, as well as Jordan Peterson, I can say that Jordan is a sort of spiritual successor to Zappa. Albeit is some ways more than others.
He was not isolated in his perspectives. From the earliest televised critics such as Bertrand Russell and Noam Chomsky, to George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope, Dave Chappel, even directors like Stanley Kubrick and John Carpenter, have all tried. But we don’t need more of them, we need more people who’re willing to question their views and take a stand against corruption, regardless if it risks their freedom.
I get to the very end and stop....cant watch it anymore. I'm tired of explaining to my wife and kids why I'm crying with headphone's on. Love ya Frank!
I watch these interviews of Frank, typically debating people who have a lower awareness of society than him, and i always wonder if he would have run for some type of office, had he not passed from the cancer. Frank Zappa was a one off. A genius composer, guitarist, intelligent, and he had a opinion on society that was clearly well thought out and articulate. I think he would have made an excellent politician. I cant see Frank being bought or allowing himself to play the politician game. RIP Frank Zappa. The good ones always go too soon. Christopher Hitchens comes to mind as well.
This is the definitive compilation video for inside the mind of Frank Zappa! I applaud your research and work editing and producing this. I understand that you may have been confined to the quality of what was available. The only thing that should have been added was the year/date and broadcast outlet for historical purposes. Other than that, well done sir! As a Zappaphile, I know I will be referring to this time and time again. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this compilation DoomKid. What an effort! Thoughts: "What's the ugliest part of your body?" Although Frank often expressed his disdain for our greed, hypocrisy and general lack of effort in the thinking department, I think that he ultimately cared very deeply. Sarcastic and funny as his lyrics may have been, I find there is a thread of hope that maybe one day (perhaps in the dim and distant future), logic and reason may ultimately triumph. He knew he would probably never witness it in his own lifetime, but, occasionally, during his travels, he sensed a glimmer of hope. Had he lived on, I can't help thinking what interesting TH-cam viewing we would have with his web presence and twitter feeds. OMG! What a target Trump and toady's political scene would be!!! Targets like Simon Cowell, The Voice and all the, so called, "reality" shows!?! However, I think by now we are are all grown up and can apply a bit of Frank's to all these questions! Can you also imagine Frank discussing things with Ben Shapiro, Christopher Hitchens, Jordan Peterson, Bill Nye, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Fry etc? Wow! ....Ah well! He was indeed a man before his time. In the meantime, I think I'll move to Montana and ride my pygmy pony whilst staring admiringly at my zircon encrusted tweezers gleaming in the moonlight.
What about the answers? Anything to say about those? Personally, I'm gonna go 10 hours deep on Zappa. I think he might appreciate that if he were still here. 10 hours, might actually be too shallow. But that's the time I can afford to dedicate to this incredible artist. Thank you.
This is a re-upload. The original was blocked worldwide for one small clip. I have removed the offending clip and put the video back up, though sadly all comments and views were lost. Hopefully they don't remove it this time!
Thank you very much for that collection - This man was a very clear thinking man who wasnt fooled by outer appearence or any kind of reputation bs going on - or what someone said you should or should not do - either on stage, off stage - he always said what he thought and that ladies and gents was right and is much needed these days. I will listen to this in its entirety, Thanks!
THANKS! No doubt a lot of real work to pull this together for everybody, enjoyed and appreciated. So far favorite: FZ's predictions for America at 3:58:50.
interviewer: "Why do you drive a Cadillac? Isn't that hypocritical?" *5 Minutes Later* Frank: "So he's been possessed by the car. Come on! Lets put you in a small uncomfortable car!"
Awesome. Thanks for compiling all this. I'm sure Frank would have laughed. Zappa was a huge influence on me as an actor, a musician, as a person. He was a genius, and an incredibly complex person.
For all of you watchin this at home zappa did not want u to burn your eyes for his opinion go take breaks and grab a pack of smokes, that it will get you thru the next 8 hours
Great point and well said, Ben. I had to look twice at the name. Caught me by surprise because I didn't remember leaving these words. Zappa was so smart ! Cheers, cousin...ha ha.
Yo i love Zappa so cool to see interviews i ve never seen before thx for the upload you are doing the world a service. and in super mario kart iam always Bowser
@Dirk Diggler But I met Dweezil here in Québec city, Canada, at Halloween... I think it was around 2005... They played the whole album, it was magical ! And before the show he did a guitar clinic with like 25 people there... No one could speak good english so it ended up like a dialogue between me and him, it was just amazing !!!
I've watched this for a week mabey more straight as not not miss anything .even in my sleep it played. Thanks so much . I knew he was special but so much more now as I am older an listening to this . Too yummy for words .😎😍 my first introduction to Zappa was Joe's garage thanks to my husband.
This is AWESOME Thank you so much for finding and compiling all of these interviews. Frank was intelligent, satirical, insightful, outspoken, brutally honest and vastly misjudged by the majority of the closed minded ignorant population. I wonder how many people really understood the concepts he was trying to bring to light. Everything he finds important he tries to present openly to make people think about and look into and discuss to bring about change. NOW so many claim these same things and claim to be "woke". If more people had realized the truth in these concepts back then and were open to the fact that government, corporations, big business interests, and the global elite have used any means available to control and manipulate society we might have had a larger group of folks fighting for the resistance. The Freeman Report from 1981 in particular he points out all the things we still suffer from in 2019! 40 yrs. ago and it was happening long before he had the opportunity to share his opinion and thoughts on change or soultitions. Even now I wish more people would take the time to watch these interviews and really listen to what he's so concerned about. Because it's all true, and only going to get worse. Thank you again for the effort you put forth to post these interviews, Great Job!!!
Well yes, any thinking person has been thinking it for a long time....except Zappa started saying it half a century ago! Now that IS a long time ago. :)
3:38:08 Charlie Rose starts to fondle a young girls elbow, lol! Watch his finger just before the camera pans away. At 3:38.55 she pulls her elbow away from Charlies hand.
Wow, I never noticed, good eye! Dudes been creeping for decades! Explains why she kinda stutters and sounds awkward when she first asks her question too
There seem to be quite a lot of silly questions that were asked him a lot, and almost none of them had to do with the music itself. Except for when they asked him about explicit lyrics.
Random PC-User For 30 years they asked him nearly the same shit every time. None of them got who he was or listened to him. He was like a circus freak. I get the feeling he felt like that before he started his career and what made him so cynical and counter cultural.
"It is the desire to do commerce that keeps the world from blowing up." And there, my friends, is the perfect summary of where mankind has ended up. Frank Zappa was lucid enough to see it decades ago. I wonder how he would make sense of the imminent collapse of it all and indeed how he would contemplate an answer to it. SO much to offer...as well as bringing us Dinah-Moe Hum and Greggary Peccary!!
After a month, I have finished it. You become a better person (take breaks from all the US politics bullshit with the actual music). Thanks for your upload.
At 5:41:47 he listed his guitar influences but didn't list guitar slim whom he has listed before and after checking him out sounds alot like how Frank plays.

Can you also imagine Frank discussing things with Ben Shapiro, Christopher Hitchens, Jordan Peterson, Bill Nye, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Fry etc? Wow! ....Ah well! He was indeed a man before his time. In the meantime, I think I'll move to Montana and ride my pygmy pony whilst staring admiringly at my zircon encrusted tweezers gleaming in the moonlight.
This is a fantastic compilation
Love be a fly on the wall with frank and George Carlin having a conversation.
Man, after watching an hour of this, almost all of the interviewers have the same questions to ask.
What about the answers?
Anything to say about those?
Personally, I'm gonna go 10 hours deep on Zappa. I think he might appreciate that if he were still here. 10 hours, might actually be too shallow. But that's the time I can afford to dedicate to this incredible artist. Thank you.
This is a re-upload. The original was blocked worldwide for one small clip. I have removed the offending clip and put the video back up, though sadly all comments and views were lost. Hopefully they don't remove it this time!
Thanks! What clip was removed and how was it offensive?
What was removed? Btw, excellent upload, thx a bundle.
:(
Yeah, what had to be removed !???
shhh the illuminati are listening.
Thanks Doomkid! Im glad a fellow Ego-ian such as yourself shares the appreciation for Zappa!
Listen to approx 8:39 onwards. The way Zappa upbraids the interviewer for criticising his mode of transport is CLASS.
That particular interview is nothing short of hilarious!
This is Fantastic! Listen to the full 10 hours - do a few a day. Definitely worthwhile and still relevant.
Thank you very much for that collection - This man was a very clear thinking man who wasnt fooled by outer appearence or any kind of reputation bs going on - or what someone said you should or should not do - either on stage, off stage - he always said what he thought and that ladies and gents was right and is much needed these days. I will listen to this in its entirety, Thanks!
THANKS! No doubt a lot of real work to pull this together for everybody, enjoyed and appreciated. So far favorite: FZ's predictions for America at 3:58:50.
interviewer: "Why do you drive a Cadillac? Isn't that hypocritical?"
*5 Minutes Later*
Frank: "So he's been possessed by the car. Come on! Lets put you in a small uncomfortable car!"
Awesome. Thanks for compiling all this. I'm sure Frank would have laughed. Zappa was a huge influence on me as an actor, a musician, as a person. He was a genius, and an incredibly complex person.
awesome collection man!!
This is a really great compilation. Frank’s wisdom is just as relevant today, if not more.
doing gods work
Hey that’s hun huur tu at the end..the tuvan throat singing outfit..they’re spectacular
Astounding intellect. Astounding musician. There is nothing not to like! Thanks.
HUGE thank you for uploading this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow thank you so much for this, great work!
Man, I commented before, but I have to thank you again for this ! Means SO MUCH to me !!!
No worries!
This is epic! RIP Frank Zappa! There is no replacement!
What? A 10 hour video with real content and not a shrek meme played 100000000000 times???
For all of you watchin this at home zappa did not want u to burn your eyes for his opinion go take breaks and grab a pack of smokes, that it will get you thru the next 8 hours
Great point and well said, Ben. I had to look twice at the name. Caught me by surprise because I didn't remember leaving these words. Zappa was so smart ! Cheers, cousin...ha ha.
Omg thank you man! Iam so in love with his interviews! Awesome video man
Goddammit Frank, you are sorely missed!!
thank you for posting this - its phenomenal - precious information and documentation
I agree, Frank's messages need to be preserved!
ZAPPA HAS JUST ZAPPED ME NOW AND I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW THANKS BRO !!!
Nice work, DoomKid. Thanks for this.
I'm not tormented, but I am a genius! But don't hold it against me !
- Frank Zappa
@doomkid Thanks for the compilation 🙏🏾
Yo i love Zappa so cool to see interviews i ve never seen before thx for the upload you are doing the world a service. and in super mario kart iam always Bowser
Who else has watched this whole thing?
Yea, but it took days.
Me...? About 4 times now !!!
@Dirk Diggler No, not yet... is it available on TH-cam ? (thinking about it, maybe I did...)
But please show me the way !!? Dirk !!! lol
@Dirk Diggler But I met Dweezil here in Québec city, Canada, at Halloween... I think it was around 2005... They played the whole album, it was magical ! And before the show he did a guitar clinic with like 25 people there... No one could speak good english so it ended up like a dialogue between me and him, it was just amazing !!!
About every few months.
Frank was very Frank indeed. He stores his talent in his mustache I think
What about his appearance on the Steve Allen Show in which he didn’t have a mustache?
Thank you for this upload !
10 hours of wisdom, but 1:26:04 will always stay in my heart
RIP Frank , man you are sorely,sorely missed .......
Best upload ever!
Thanks lot for upload and share with the all world the words of this beatiful true person,
I'll try to translate in Italian , thank you
Some task you are setting yourself.
I've watched this for a week mabey more straight as not not miss anything .even in my sleep it played. Thanks so much . I knew he was special but so much more now as I am older an listening to this . Too yummy for words .😎😍 my first introduction to Zappa was Joe's garage thanks to my husband.
Thank you!
Well done, Doomkid. Thanks.
No prob! Working on a 24 hour version..
Great, Now I have to make a 10 hour reaction video to this.
Great job, man... cheers to you
This is AWESOME Thank you so much for finding and compiling all of these interviews. Frank was intelligent, satirical, insightful, outspoken, brutally honest and vastly misjudged by the majority of the closed minded ignorant population. I wonder how many people really understood the concepts he was trying to bring to light. Everything he finds important he tries to present openly to make people think about and look into and discuss to bring about change. NOW so many claim these same things and claim to be "woke". If more people had realized the truth in these concepts back then and were open to the fact that government, corporations, big business interests, and the global elite have used any means available to control and manipulate society we might have had a larger group of folks fighting for the resistance. The Freeman Report from 1981 in particular he points out all the things we still suffer from in 2019! 40 yrs. ago and it was happening long before he had the opportunity to share his opinion and thoughts on change or soultitions. Even now I wish more people would take the time to watch these interviews and really listen to what he's so concerned about. Because it's all true, and only going to get worse. Thank you again for the effort you put forth to post these interviews, Great Job!!!
thank you so much for this.
I was just looking up music for my new parakeet to get used to voices, but this is truly fascinating for me as "her human" as well! :)
"Dont follow leaders, watch yer pawking meters" Dylan
Wow....thank you very much!
Titanic effort for all of us! Thanx a tonn!!!
A lot of stuff he was saying about media has been my personal opinion for a long time. Cool.
Well yes, any thinking person has been thinking it for a long time....except Zappa started saying it half a century ago! Now that IS a long time ago. :)
5:22:32 My favorite clip of Zappa describing early cigar-chomping pop music record executives.
3:38:08 Charlie Rose starts to fondle a young girls elbow, lol! Watch his finger just before the camera pans away. At 3:38.55 she pulls her elbow away from Charlies hand.
Wow, I never noticed, good eye! Dudes been creeping for decades! Explains why she kinda stutters and sounds awkward when she first asks her question too
@@DoomKid didn't notice that either. Damn.
Man, SO many people felt it necessary to ask about his kids names.
There seem to be quite a lot of silly questions that were asked him a lot, and almost none of them had to do with the music itself. Except for when they asked him about explicit lyrics.
Random PC-User For 30 years they asked him nearly the same shit every time. None of them got who he was or listened to him. He was like a circus freak. I get the feeling he felt like that before he started his career and what made him so cynical and counter cultural.
That must of been so annoying haha
nice work doomkid!!!
Oh my lord, that MJ video for The Way You Make Me Feel really is somethin' else...
What minute of the video is that?
"Rudi come out we're gonna put you in a small car you'll really like it." 😂😂😂
for every MK Ultra, there is a Frank Zappa
Love Zappa! Grazie!
"It is the desire to do commerce that keeps the world from blowing up."
And there, my friends, is the perfect summary of where mankind has ended up. Frank Zappa was lucid enough to see it decades ago. I wonder how he would make sense of the imminent collapse of it all and indeed how he would contemplate an answer to it. SO much to offer...as well as bringing us Dinah-Moe Hum and Greggary Peccary!!
Not gonna lie, the end had me crying a little
Zappa would be having a fit about google and twitters censorship if he was around today, good for him that he isn’t.
Unfair to find this at midnight
The Swedish TV portion with the Cadillac incident was magnificent
Zappa in top form
what are the odds alex winter watched through this entire video multiple times
After a month, I have finished it. You become a better person (take breaks from all the US politics bullshit with the actual music).
Thanks for your upload.
Seeing him talk about his kids is precious.
Really nice.
"Country music is not mainstream." I... Really needed a laugh. Thank you.
I can just imagine the internet presence that he would have.
Never thought of that great point keep on keeping on
Feel like he would get "cancelled" immediately, unfortunately.
He wouldn't dig social media.
@@longshort30001 You think so? What makes you say that?
Because his views on media in general. Frank was into rational thought. Social media has none. It is very one sided.
I just can't get enough of that man and/or his music ! And by the way, ''The Real Frank Zappa Book'' is just SO good !!!
Frank Zappa was a great creative fantastic person.
TOBACCO IS MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE @9:37:41 ~ FRANK ZAPPA
This collection is outstanding. FZ on Dinah Shore? Who’d a thought?
Zappa mentions Ansley Dunbar @29:00 who was the first drummer for Rush and recorded only one album. Then came Neil Peart.
At 5:41:47 he listed his guitar influences but didn't list guitar slim whom he has listed before and after checking him out sounds alot like how Frank plays.
