Excellent musician and satirist. I have a feeling he would be on our side if he were alive today. Alot of his songs poked fun at the degenerates of the baby boomer generation.

great guy, true american, put on a top tier live show, arguably the best guitarist of the 70s but that's a HEATED issue

His voice was lowered in octaves, when he got shot in the throat, rather early in his career, while in England.

That NEVER happened. Produce a source. You're a retard. Zappa never got shot in the throat.

He fell off/got pushed off a stage one time and that fucked him up for a while, but he was never shot.

I got to see Zappa Plays Zappa back in 2013 at the Roxy, 40th anniversary of when Frank played there, his son is a great guitarist but he doesn't have the stage presence that his dad had.
>>
>>70185672
I read his bio, he got really vitriolic near the end of his life about stuff. You can here it in his music as well. Loved his early musical work and think he had some decent view for his time. But the fact that the bullshit got to him and made him so angry makes me kinda sad.
Nothing will top my first summer listening to apostrophe.

Nothing will top my first summer listening to Bongo Fury. Ever.

I never got really into his other stuff. Too bad her never really got sentimental, it was always sort of cold and cynical... which is good at times, but not always.

But Bong Fury... that's it for me.

Musical genius. Wasted it in on unfunny, idiotic lyrics and a retardedly juvenile attitude.

Being full of mockery and scatological humor is fine, but he was just so fucking boring and lazy about it. Not smart and no depth.

He would never accept that sort of facile, idiotic shit musically.

When he starts fucking singing and you know the next line of the lyric will rhyme with the last one in the easiest and most convenient
way possible and he seems so proud of how stupid it all is, I have to shut it off.

Haven't listened to this in ages, thanks for the repost

musical genius one of the greatest guitarists of all time
his book is a good read
also it is fun to listen to his discography, i like pretty much all of his music, and when i get bored of one album, i go to the next, and go back and forth and all over the place since a lot of his music is so different, my favorite stuff is the early mothers, 1964-1969 but really all of franks music is great.
>>
>>70190813
He didn't give a fuck about lyrics, he resented having to include them.
>>
>>70188901
Looking it up now, apparentlyvthe crazy guy did just push him off the stage. It was one crazy guy and not an excited crowd, and he had obtained a revolver but did not shoot Zappa with it. I don't know why I misremembered that. He did claim that the injury changed the depth of his voice though.

Cherry picked from super talented Cisco musos to put in his band. Frank was himself little better than a four chord guitarist. Interesting songwriter, never really hit the big time.
