Probably Carlin, but they both had their different perspectives trying to change things. It's ignorant to smash it down into a competition. I've always thought of Zappa as the Carlin of music lmao.

Welll Brother: Here's about 80 albums for you. Say Picasso, Stravinsky and Zappa in the same sentence and Mean it. A century from now he will still be studied. If you don't know Zappa; you don't know music. Now this may sound harsh; but this Music does Not mess around. This is Real Music Written by a Real Composer and played by Real Musicians. The Trick is to be a bit disciplined and do nothing but sit and listen; because if you do other things while this is playing; it will only sound like noise. You have to follow each instrument as each has a Real Part to play. If you really want to know Frank; you could start at the beginning because you won't hear anything like this anywhere else: The Same damn songs over and over yet fantastically altered = AAFNRAA!! ps: The Lyrics are only a good story. Excellent stories ! These are movies for your ears and they've kept me going for 50+ years. ps: (sorrry to write a bible...) I could rant for as long about the ZPZ dvd and the ten times I've seen Dweezil ! Go see ZPZ. He is on tour now.

I'll give you the short answer. Their is something for everybody.

You're projecting

You are banal and insipid.

Lol...your loss

@@davidrome7049 Must still be into that decades old rave scene...

yeah but cigarettes dont change your mind like for example marihuana ... I think he had this on his mind

He was sick with cancer, apparently

Or how the democratic party continues to manipulate the media. ;)

@@lefkytheshin media is the one manipulating you, Einstein 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

True and then around 24:20 he basically explains why Clinton did what he did eight years later.

Both sides do this have been doing it for years

@@mwloos1both sides? 😂 There’s only ONE side. Wake up

I think he was referring to the Miller-Urey experiment

@@Andrea_Manconi thanks

He pretty much only spoke about music (few are more knowledgeable), politics (he was VERY informed, and active), and pop culture (a scathing satirist) Zappa was a towering musical genius of the 20th century. In all likelihood, his music and reputation will survive into future centuries (albeit only to those that look to and study the past)

He’s not arrogant, he’s just informed.

If he ran for president, I would have stopped supporting him. He would have been a total sellout because he would have known how America works..AIPAC, oligopoly.

Zappa was not on top of his game here. He was sick due to cancer. Many new people who are seeing frank for the first time are giving negative comments about him

The Twitter & Reddit, social media tards who know nothing except hate and ignorance have made their way to the comments.

What is your cholesterol level? What is your BMI? Do you consume sugar and fast food? Same thing.

There is NOTHING "seemingly smart" with regards to Zappa. However YOU have REVEALED on a worldwide forum that YOU are INCREDIBLY STUPID. Stick to things you are really good at like picking your nose, supporting Trump, or supporting Brexit.

You are right. Frank should have followed results from smoking researches.

He died of prostate cancer not from smoking….by the way, miss diagnosed 3 three times from what I understand.

@@HeavyMagic001 hey!!!!!!!!! Smoking can cause prostrate cancer!

What would you have said thirty years ago?

Look or sound? Think before you type, Einstein.

@@lefkytheshinyou believe in political parties 😂😂😂😂 Think!

You watched a one hour interview in order to make that statement?

This comment is the prime example of screaming for attention.

That is literally a massively ignorant position “The audience is musically illiterate” applies here

​@@LForehandI'm 60, I'm not a Johnny come lately when it comes to Frank Zappa and his socialist ideas and dysfunctional music. I will say today he wouldn't be considered a socialist. If you want to know how great Zappa thinks he is just listen and he will tell you.

​@@marcsullivan7987when you have to explain why you think your music is so great. that's a problem

If Zappa music makes you feel smarter then you must be starting out at a pretty damn down dumb place to begin with. . There's a lot to be said about his music but I can't think of anything that's good. And to put it on the level has feeling smarter. Back away from the pipe , find a new set of friends and stay away from groupthink..

​@@dennisddd8243get over it, Dennis. You know nothing about his catalog, and your bizzare take is indicative of your own interpersonal struggles.

Lol, 🤔. You know,I've had many conversations about Zappa over the course of a lifetime,the man,band and the music. As a music lover and a lifelong self-taught student of all things musical my personal judgment of Zappa on all three levels started probably around 1972 or maybe 73 for myself and other fans, friends and music lovers. I don't mean to come off in a condescending way actually. But I was called out on this thread almost 2 years ago. So naturally I responded. At first I regretted it.But I have come to understand there's two kinds of views about Zappa past and present.The music and Zappa the man. So I probably was very aware of a lot of things concerning Zappa years before you were born.. So no this is not my first rodeo with Zappa. Zappa is like the Slinky that just won't go away.. I disliked his music from the beginning like probably 90% of the people that are not in that certain little niche of his fans vinyl or CD, Bell bottoms or skinny jeans.. Zappa and his band is full of great musicians, very talented players no doubt. But his style of putting his music in a blender is chaotic and classically bad. Literally. That's just my judgment of him. Now I'll let his fans comments represent their self. High eyebrow low expectation weather says of entitlement. The I am so smart and I get it type of fan

@@dennisddd8243I agree. Interesting fellow but his music is a complete mess and boring. Brings absolutely nothing to the table.

​​@@Cormac-jd2kxdo you know why you and I agree, because we're normal. If someone has to explain their music to me then they've already lost me.. and I think normal these days is a remarkably rare thing.. I knew there were other normal people out there. You and I and a few more. I'm on a mission to try to save and rescue the Zappa music fans from themselves. I hear they eat their own. 😆

Heyo: This is true; too true. Very few interviewers are on the level of those they Question. They are Doing an Interview; instead of having an Adult conversation. But at least what Frank says is worthwhile to listen to and he speaks in complete sentences... To half the commentors here "you can't even speak your own fkn language" ...to quote FZ.

Hello, maybe/yes and also, he'd suffered horrible injuries from an accident when a fan pushed him off the stage during a Mother's concert; wheelchair over a year; gimpy for the rest of his life.

No. They have similar noses. No sharing ever happened

@@highdownmartin funny

he might've received his diagnosis by now
