Im black and even i realized

That's the sound of a low IQ audience.

Yes, that was amazing!

@@JazzFlightProduction ...ok

The term "dumbfounded" comes to mind

Agree 100%

One of the things that made Frank so great is he made music for HIMSELF, not for a target audience or demographic or marketability. He makes what HE wants for himself and if other people want to hear it, cool, if not, who cares.

@@TheWingus Right on right on.

Pure intelligence charismatic and calm as a whistle

Yes he was

That's right...

REALLY??HE seems like AN ASSHOLE every interview I watch He just a standoffish prick, bitter angry and stupid He never thought cigarettes caused cancer. Cigarettes were His "favorite vegetable" what an IDIOT!!!!! NICOTINE IS A DRUG< and He never stopped using , so ya and knives are sharp not whips, YOU ARE ALSO AN IDIOT!!!

Tabacco & caffeine are drugs.

He died of a nicotine addiction

​@@davidrichman9779Idiot. He died of prostrate cancer.

There is much more of him speaking in my memoir, Freak Out! My Life with Frank Zappa. I lived and worked in his log cabin in 1968 with ten others. It's not about Frank's music, nor other rock stars but follows my journey from that lucky day I met Frank in London. The only book that details Frank's home life from the inside.

Thats not my impression of him at all. When Ive thought of him as an uplifting fun guy

sammy scotch Nah he’s a real depressing sardonic dour kind of person. Inspirational, I’d say, but not uplifting at all lol

Probably drank a gallon of coffee right before.

sammy scotch, everything he speaks out about, is part of his doing. His place in Laurel Canyon, the Log Cabin, was where a lot of the influential counterculture bands such as _The Doors_ got their foot in the door (no pun intended) of the industry. Frank helped launch several groups into stardom and fame. Frank also encouraged people to (who weren't part of _his_ band) explore hedonism. The counterculture is a tool of social planners who are planning much more long-term goals than the average Joe Dope. No, I don't think _they_ have outright control over all things, but their influence is great and they’re masters of manipulation and marketing.

He was really giving the band love and praise from Zappa is pretty impressive. Really awesome of Frank to go out of his way to do that too since so often 'late night' bands are regarded as a novelty... filler... when they're typically top tier musicians.

Totally agree

Social media today

Same thing with movies especially Disney. People love to live in a Disney fantasy about love when that's not what it's all about in real life.

Good mental health is always an issue. My shrink told me that I would never see the acceptance of phychiatry in my lifetime. He was right, I was a teenager at the time & now I'm 64. I don't understand why most people think there is something wrong with you if you see a good shrink. We need good mental health.

@@jansdoe6963 guess so bc most of us are nutz

no, that is NOT true, but he brings up a good point about love songs.

@@jansdoe6963 Therapy saved my marriage.

Zappa I only gave a chance because Trey liked him. This guy was overrated and I read was a huge Dick to his family and fans. My theory, he probably needed some drugs in his life to take away from his stress, he died at 52 sober as judge.

..pretty sure you mean someone like Arsenio is impossible to relate to.

@@hanajinks1044 - Not what I meant at all. Arsenio was always OK in my book.

Add a few snorts and grunts.

Bill Mayhew he also considered The Shaggs to be better than The Beatles

@@Shaggyshadric Did you ever see the clips of him playing with John Lennon? The audio quality is bad and you can't hear FZ's guitar very well, but he smokes. It would have been great except Yoko fucked it up with her droning.

... Lennon, and Yokoloko changed the name of his song "King Kong" on their release of the album, and claimed ownership of the lyrics/ arrangement, etc... effin LAME! Screw the damned Beatles 🤔

Damn straight. You can bet they were working it when they found he was to be on.

He said it on every show he's been on... just sayin.

@@morbidmanmusic No, he really didn't.

Lol.. he hated republicans....I would love to see him tearing apart the socialist-democrats now.

People were doing it all through the 80's and 90's especially with AIDS epidemic and then the "choose life" movement and "pro choice". Watch old MTV clips.

guerito7571 and the far LEFT

@@guerito7571 And I'd guess he was a Kennedy Democrat, so I'm thinking he would've flipped like most of the rest have.

@@guerito7571 HE didn't like democrats either

Yes!!!

Yeah!!!

I confirm.

True

I got an amazing compliment from Frank when I interviewed him in 1988. At the end, he said, 'You are a very good interviewer. I've never been asked those kind of questions before.' You can see the interview on You Tube Pauline Butcher interviews Frank Zappa. First one is on family, three others on politics, evangelism, composing, Jazz Discharge Party Hats, and a question he asked me. Each one is less than five minutes.

@@paulinebutcherbird thank you so much!

@Greg Hamilton what

Make a great dinner party.

George Carlin for sure. Not so sure about the others.

These people are your motivation to live a better life? I feel sorry for you.

Shut up

Joe Walsh wails! I didn't know until recently the impact he had on the Eagles. He practically is the Eagles!

Canonnball adderley is dope. George duke is God!!! Frank is right up there...

Uhh..he had to make more time for the statesman and intellectual giant, Kool Moe Dee.

most probably yes

It blows me away when people say he would love Trump. Look how he talked about Reagan and Pat Robertson! He'd think Trump was a total sleazeball, and he wouldn't have anything nice to say about the mainstream dems either..

This is going over your head if you think that.

he literally talks about hating right wing politics in this very interview.

Well he never liked the Democratic Party and described himself as a Republican and conservative; at least least before Nixon, whom he loathed. Frank hated hippies and liberals, and all hypocrites, which pretty much meant everybody when it came to politics.

C J FZ was a very enlightened man from the get go. He knew wtf this world is. I’m not huge fan of his music but I love his dialogue and interviews.

No, just after decades of the same games people have gotten more tired and aware that something is wrong.

Johnathan Doughs No. People are dumber and more clueless than ever. Look around.

@@brummms2862 Didn't say they weren't dumb.

Johnathan Doughs No. just, no. You are wrong sir.

Must have felt great :-)

And the host didnt get it

Yes, they were nothing until he validated them.

Unlikely. They don't need his pat on the back. They are better players. He is a composer. Plus...plus.. he says that to every band on shows. Watch harder....

He says that on every show about the bands.. it's a thing he does. And we musicians don't need franks approval. .. and more than our own.

Democrats aren’t rich? Interesting. And I find it funny that he wants to call out Reagan, yet never got his drivers license because he didn’t want to stand in line. I mean, how fucking lazy can you be. At least he made good music.

And what he didn’t understand, is that the 60’s were over. It may have been a time of change, but it was also a time were people didn’t do shit, yet complained that the guy working 40 hours a week makes more then the guy who sleeps 80. Again, an impactful era, but also an extremely lazy one. Maybe that’s why the country is so hesitant on legalizing marijuana outright.

@@lanceuppercut1278 "how lazy can you be." First, there's supposed to be a question mark there. Second, Frank toured and recorded consistently for over 30 years. I don't think you have any idea on how taxing it is to tour. That is the exact opposite of lazy. I wouldn't stand in line at the fuckin' DMV either if I was him. He didn't need a license, he had enough money that there was always someone there to drive him around.

@@lanceuppercut1278 He had a driver's license, he just decided he would never stand in line again for 4 hours to renew it.

@@lanceuppercut1278 That's such an incredibly stupid comment it's almost impressive, well played Sir!

Higher Education has an inverse relationship with Higher intelligence.

Hi My grandson is only 7 years old and he always warns me not to eat that yellow snow....he loves Franks music.

@@jillianhorsley5985 maybe get him a sircon encrusted tweezer for his next bday or a pygmy pony or a sears poncho?

Intelligence is not dependent upon education. Education can enhance intelligence.

Some of the smartest people are self-educated

Franks it still a mentor for me.

Well since you discovered him in 2021 don't be getting it in your head he like Donald Trump because he couldn't stand him

All Mainstream Media is the same..Fox is no different from CNN... They are all Propaganda machines. Only a fool would listen to Jimmy Kimmel or the ladies at The View....

@@SilverWealth_Draper_Mint - So what media do you trust?

Randy Kumpf I listen to whoever Media says is bad...

@@randolfo1265 None

Well said, Zappa always fought hard for free speech.

hi frank cant wait to meet you in 5oo years i dont know how you can waste your time talkin to such a monkey as arsenio ur the best mate

Agreed. No inane questions about his children's names.

Agreed.

Not really. Obviously they're talented musicians who didn't need to be validated by anyone.

@@charlesdonahue7683 lol stfu

@@Wspsportsfan So only fanboy comments are allowed to be voiced? Who died and made you Emperor of the Universe?

@@charlesdonahue7683 Frank is one of the most accomplished musicians of all time I’m sure the band enjoyed the complement . You don’t have to be a douche

@@Wspsportsfan You're being the douche. If you knew anything about the other musicians in the band you'd understand. If someone made the comment "Frank must really know music to appreciate such a great band," you'd surely see how ridiculous that would sound. I love Frank's music but there are many great musicians past and present and they don't need to be validated by "someone like FRANK." So the issue is not Frank expressing his appreciation, the issue is your insinuation that they should feel honored to be graced by his holiness.

Try Pauline Butcher interviews Frank Zappa: in five parts: parenting, composing, evangelism, jazz discharge party hats, question to me.

In fine show-biz fashion, they played as much as they needed to, for a short time, while the guest walked out - like Johnny Carson's Tonight Show band. I bet they played many complete songs in rehearsals, though. Arsinio's show never really showcased the band that I can remember.

He's right. It's a crying shame that TV networks recruit high-caliber musicians, and never let them perform… on television.

Nice! Yup love Frank too. His fans are a special kind of people I believe.

what was the 1% u didn't like ?

Zappa=Genius...thanks!

I keep seeing you around KZfaq on these FZ videos. We should grab a beer, in newish to his work and just ordered his book. Cheers.

Are you a fan of his or something.

He made Frank smile and look happy. An achievement.

The fashion would certainly have improved!

The interviewer's doing.

Sheeple? Brilliant!🤣

who cares..

Oh yes, his music and wisdom is sorely missed. Frank left us way too soon.

A big applause for the interviewer.

We need Frank more than ever these days.
