He always has just the right ratio of moustache/goatee to whatever his current hairstyle was, as well as his striking profile, made him a big hit with the ladies...I've heard him talk about the clap like it's nothing. That's honesty, my friends.

I think there was more: not just intelligence but connection between mind and heart.

@@SonoSuono123 I agree. He had unassailable personal ethics, and he was a devoted husband and amazing father. Zappa was the kind of man I always aspired to become. I just didn't have his immense and unique talents as a musician. But the stuff I am good at, I'm pretty damned good at. So I try to be as much the Frank Zappa of my thing as he was of his, and I feel like that effort is good for me and the people who rely on me.

​@@No-One-of-Consequence There is no need to become just like him. Your intention is enough, if you pursue it honestly and clearly. I wish you to be able to express the best of you, to become entirely yourself. ♥

@@SonoSuono123 I feel as though I’ve attained near-FZ-levels of achievement in my thing. It just isn’t musical. I won’t go into what it is, just for the sake of privacy, but I give Frank a lot of credit for helping to turn me into who I needed to be in order to accomplish all of it. Even if you’re not a musician or a composer, Zappa was a fantastic example for anyone. If you apply the kind of devotion to what you do that he did to everything that attered to him it would be hard to avoid success. And I made sure that a lot of people I mentored along the way got turned on to Frank Zappa for that very reason.

@@SonoSuono123 And you’re clearly attaining the highest level of humanity too. You’re very considerate. Thanks for that.

Lennon did worst things tbf.

@@akirafelix3865 I'm not liking him more and more lol

The Beatles were garbage humans. Crowley being a main influence should've told you that.

​@@mandybellep230so what

He thought his wife was a singer too lol

​@@donnanhuggler8451perfect response

Yeah....Yoko's nasty jamrag.

@@apexjoe4769 Having eye candy like Yoko hanging around constantly is always trouble with bands.

#nailedit #stayfrosty #diy 😎

Because Lennon stealing is somehow better...

about a Zappa song that stole its title from a popular film/tv/pop culture character

@@williammickleham4599 is it the same tho? If my movie's name wasn't the thing (King Kong), then you could make the case that i'm stealing a title, but not the IP from the movie. But then you could say that Nirvana stole their name to a 60's band, and shouldn't be allowd to used. Apple Corps VS Apple Inc... These things do go to court, but that's why they go to court for. I mean The Doors took their name from a book.

Why are you so cranky?

So Zappa stole things too , got it

sounds like a dooooooooche!

@@donnanhuggler8451 Unlike Zappa you are not smart never mind.

@@petergedd9330 I may be totally wrong but I’m a fool.

While excluding Frank's writing credit.

@@Matthew-LAMFand renaming the song.

​@@Aaron-zt5eesounds like his purpose.

He was just sending a message to someone backstage.

Then why did he steal it?

Kkkkk thats was a good joke fela

listen to the regular Zappa version of the song

King Kong is as Much of a composition as Bohemian Rhapsody

Well I can tell you if you are dealing with a musician that’s exactly how they would feel. The artist is generally hypersensitive to any impropriety. Perhaps not at as vocal as Frank here publicly. But mess with a musician’s intellectual property you are likely to open Pandora’s box.

Seems even more petty to steal a song and change the name and refuse to credit the writer. Especially for a song on an album nobody listens to

wrong 😑

@@PschyoSupposeiam Frank Zappa is a fraudster who stole musical ideas from Captain Beefhart.

Any musician would feel like that lol. I think he's awesome. No comparison in talent.

Not a hater, just a man with a justifiable opinion.

Any person would be a hater, when their own music and art was stolen, and used for a hag to scream in the background with zero acknowledgement to the original writer.

Yeah ? I’m a hater too .. fuck corporations and fuck what they’ve done to music, and now what they’ve done to the global economic reality. I hope he sued Lennon as well

That's not the point . How do ppl take up for folks that do foul shit

Zeppelin stole music wholesale too....doesn't take away from their talent...but it's indisputable.

Adam Smith No one implied that you idiot.

So then why steal it in the first place? Theft is theft

They don't just sound alike...the Mother's are literally playing King Kong while John and Yoko sing and play feedback over it.

@Paul B. yea who cares that someone is trying to pass someone else’s work off as their own right down to renaming it and giving the illusion that they wrote it

Much ado abt nuffin. If If I can be Frank, I'd be damn glad someone took "credit" 4 this steaming peace o' H.S. The worst song from either Artiste!!!

Public Domain. Do better.

@@mephistophelesgoestowork4368 what do you mean "do better"? Ask better questions?

@@itconqueredtheworldsmith4053 Ah ok cool, thanks!

He said “shocked”

John Lennon was an overrated crappy musician name a song that influenced others the Beatles songs were sHiTe

John Lennon was a wife beating song thief. So I think frank was happy to not be anything like him.

You would be bitter too if someone stole your music if you were lesser known

Yeah but i heard both songs... they not really the same... and they certainly not money making tracks

@@GodWeenSatan i seriously think it was the label. everyone in the world new it was king kong as it came out much earlier. was it right? no. but why wait til lennon dies to come out on it? jamrag was terrible. yoko screaming makes me cringe. if i were zappa, i wouldn’t want my name on it anyway 😅 but no matter how it happened, his name should have been on there

Uhm I’m not sure that’s the point .. FZ & His Bands have always been more technically sophisticated by far, but that doesn’t mean more simplistic music is inferior necessarily
