3 жыл бұрынFirst Time Hearing Frank Zappa | Don't Eat The Yellow Snow Suite | Reaction Video
"Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" is a suite by the American musician Frank Zappa, made up of the first four tracks of his 1974 album Apostrophe ('): "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow", "Nanook Rubs It", "St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast", and "Father O'Blivion". Each song in the suite is loosely connected, although the songs are not all connected by one overall story/theme. The suite was only played in full from 1973 to 1974 and 1978 to 1980. "Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast" contains Zappa's percussionist Ruth Underwood on marimba who added a very distinct sound to many of his songs in the early 1970s.[1]
In keeping with the arctic theme of the song, after the first lyric "Dreamed I was an Eskimo" there is a musical quotation from the 1947 jazz tune "Midnight Sun".[2]

Pure, unadulterated genius. There is no one, NO ONE who can even appear to come close to Zappa's genius and compositional diversity of skills. He always had the best musicians in town. As a matter of fact, many of the greatest musicians of the 70s / 80s passed through the Frank Zappa University of Song and Sensation. The guy wrote everything imaginable, but for beginners, best to go with some songs like Peaches en Regalia, Eat That Question, Zomby Woof, Village of the Sun, Echidna's Arf (of You), Don't You Ever Wash That Thing, and Inca Roads.

You had to be a MASTER MUSICIAN to be in Frank’s band. Very few people could play the complex music he wrote. And he wrote it. For every instrument, he sat down and also wrote classical music. He wrote Orchestral pieces, wrote the music for every instrument in the orchestra and would go to Symphony Halls and get up and then conduct the entire symphony. He truly was a genius.

Frank Zappa was strange, weird, unusual, but a musical genius. He was a master musician, guitar player, percussionist, composer, lyricist. He put out so much music that is way, way ahead of it's time. Probably still way ahead of time even now. A few things to check out, Peaches and Regalia, Your Mouth, and so many more.

Zappa said about his music:" Either you get it, or you don't. If you don't you probably weren't supposed to." And you're definitely getting it. This album is really not a bad place to start. I think you'll like the song 'Inca Roads' too.

He was a drummer before a guitarist. He was composing avant-garde classical music influenced by Stravinsky, Varese, and Webern since he was a teenager, but also listening to and performing a lot of doowop, blues, r&b, and rock n'roll. He worked for a guy named Paul Buff, who was an engineer that built the first 5 track studio on the West Coast (in Cucamunga, California), which Zappa took over mortgage payments on and he learned how to engineer and produce there. The Yellow Snow suite is obviously his my rock/funk style stuff, but he has albums that are closer to jazz and others that are modernist classical music and still others that are all electronic music and some that are all guitar solos....There is even one where the doowop influence takes over and the whole album is doowop stuff.

Ah yes, welcome to the wonderful wacky world of Frank Zappa. This suite, and the album Apostrophe that it hails from, is an excellent diving-in point to the huge mountain of Frank's work - it has a sampling of everything Frank is about -- the wild mash-up of musical genres (he did everything from doo-wop to modern dissonant classical music in his time, and did them all well), his bizarro sense of humor, his don't-give-a-fuck crudity, his fabulous guitar skillz, and his recording/engineering perfectionism. His series of albums (under his own name and that of his group The Mothers of Invention) from this stretch of the 1970s is what I refer to as his "sweet spot" - he put out amazing stuff before and after, but the mid-1970s funk-flavored albums are IMO some of his consistently best and most accessible. Enjoy the trip!

Awesome. Frank only hired the best, technically proficient musicians. People like George Duke(keys), Steven Vai(guitars), Jean Luc Ponty(violins), etc. When he auditioned the crazy talented Vai as a youngster, Frank said "Do you know (such and such) song? Vai: yeah. Frank: OK. Play it in F sharp but in a minor tonality... and play it in 6/8 time, not 4/4. Then when he played it the way Frank asked, gave him no indication he had done it well. After much more grilling, Frank said that was enough and Vai went on his way. A week or two passed, and Vai assumed he did not meet the Frank's outrageous expectations. Then he got a call and Frank said "where are you?" Vai said at home. Frank said we rehearse every Thursday-get your arse over here...you're late. He had gotten the job with the Mothers.

I absolutely love watching first reactions to FZ. You are very astute when picking up on his theatrical, comical, versatile, etc… musical talent. He was a true master unto himself first. He struggled with record companies for radio air play which makes complete sense given his expansive library. Apostrophe was my first introduction (released 1974) to his wild creative mind. Sadly, he died short of his 53rd birthday in December 1993. However, recordings continue to be released posthumously numbering 118. Enjoy this wild trip of seemingly unlimited variations of his music.

Frank is definitely the absolute deepest of all rabbit holes. A composer first, lyrics were of secondary concern. He held authority and commercialism in disdain. He never really achieved the success/popularity here in the US that his talents deserved, due to censorship. In European circle he was absolute royalty. His live performances were memory makers and helped launch the careers of several notable performers including Adrien Belew and Steve Vai. He signed Alice Cooper to his own label after they bombed a live show. Per Alice, Frank said "Anybody that can clear a room that quickly, I have to sign." Frank was a talent for the ages.

Bravo! Great reaction my man. First time hearing Zappa huh? A very deep, very strange rabbit hole indeed. I been listening to Frank Zappa since high school. He blew me away then, blows me away now. What a musician, what a composer, what a producer. So bizarre, so funny. You must now hear Stinkfoot from Apostrophe, where we hear the line "the crux of the biscuit, is the apostrophe". His guitar playing/soloing in Stinkfoot is next level man. He gets a wa-wa tone during Stinkfoot that I've never been able to duplicate. Is very cool. I saw him live in the late 70s in Des Moines, Iowa and it was the best sound at a concert that i had ever heard. I still have not heard an electric band that can match Zappa, to this day. Incredible!

Frank Zappa was one of the best guitar player of his generation and that says a lot when in that period, there was Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and many more. But more than that, he was a musical genius. He have done everything in music, blues, rock, jazz, satirical portrait of society, he even made an opera! The only constant thing in his carrer is that he will surprise you every time you listen to something new from him. I'm old enough that I have seen him live in the 70's but I don't remember much of the show (some kind of tobacco that is now legal where I live may have had a part in that), but I remember that it was a great show.

'Loved your reactions all through the "Suite", and your very smart & appropriate comments about the complexity of Frank's astounding constant changes in time signatures, wonderful story-telling gifts, amazing sound production - and guitaristic virtuosity, because F.Z. was not only a great composer but a GREAT MUSICIAN as well - take some time, if you find the opportunity, to listen to some of his most incredible guitar solos, (nearly always Blues-based with awesome improvisations and actually extra-terrestrial sound effects), you will certainly "get your rocks off" (as Frank Zappa used to say) on some or most of them, they are genuinely fantastic and always give me "goosebumps"!!! ...And Welcome To The Zappa Fans' Club, of course! (A French F.Z. Lover). Thanks a Lot!

I loved this album when I was a kid.. that and Overnite Sensation... of course Live At The Filmore East was a laugh for those of us just entering teendom.. even though we probably didn't understand half of the innuendo.. the lyrics, sound effects.. and sheer musicality is absolute genius..

Welcome to the FZ appreciation club. Your appreciation will grow I assure you once you delve into his music, and there is so much of it. I've been listening for over 50yrs.

Well, that was 2 tracks, not one. Frank had some amazing musicians go through his ranks. Damn near all of them will tell ya it was the hardest music they ever played.

Your face alone was worth it. :-) Stay safe and don't eat the yellow snow! Old enough, I was privileged, to see this show live in Munich 76

"Black Napkins" is no BS. The craziest theatrical concert film you will ever see is "Baby Snakes". Frank found a claymation professional that he indispersed throughout the movie because, well, you just have to see it!

One of the amazing things about his music was he wrote all this down and gave the written parts to his band to play. I just saw a video of Ruth Underwood, who played xylophone, marimba,etc. for Zappa play some of her music for this song and she had the written music she was given. Zappa did a lot of comedy songs that people remember but also wrote a lot of amazing instrumentals. Anyways, far too much other stuff to talk about in a KZfaq comment.

Ruth talks in an interview about the music Frank wrote for ST ALPHONSO . She looked at the music notation and was like WTF ? But she rolled up her sleeves and learned to play it .
