One of Frank's 10 best ever songs.

[@jaquestraw1]

I miss Frank Zappa 🫤

[@stillstanding8286]

This is from “Hot Rats” (1969), Zappa’s first solo album. There are only 6 tracks on the entire record, and they’re all worth checking out! This has been one of my all time favorite song/albums for decades. Thanks, fellas!!!

[@seasnakesam]

Lumpy Gravy was his first solo album, but to be fair they can be an acquired taste

[@Royale_with_Cheeese]

@@seasnakesam I dunno. I think there are people who get it instantly and there are people who automatically hate it. I don't see it as "acquired" taste.

[@randyallaben9900]

There will never be anyone like Frank Zappa again. He was a singular entity. He walked a different path, but a total genius. I am grateful that I do get him and I crank him up often.

[@hookalakah]

This entire album is worth your attention. Zappa dismissed most of the members of his Mothers of Invention band for "Hot Rats" and sent out for some of the best jazz players in L.A. "Peaches" has the feel of a fabulous march, and Zappa had played in his high school marching band. Ron Selico is the drummer, Shuggie Otis plays bass, and Mothers woodwind/keyboard/electronica wizard Ian Underwood are the group here, but there are are other jazzers on the other tracks. The Mellotron had just become available, and Zappa was all over anything new and electric. Underneath it all, of course, everyone played their butt off on this album.

[@Theblackchromatic]

YES!!! This and Apostophe and Overnight Sensation

[@christianmarler2253]

@@Theblackchromatic I listen to all three of those albums frequently.

[@ImpressionismFTW]

Not many reactors on KZbin discuss the production especially from a modern perspective when listening to Zappa, I appreciated it and hope for more.

[@christianmarler2253]

I have concluded that these guys are the BEST reactors of all those I regularly watch on KZbin. They are always thorough, on point and say the smartest things.

[@keiththompson713]

Hard to believe this song was recorded 55 years ago. (BTW: Frank used an actual pipe organ on this track. It was recorded at Whitney Studio in Los Angeles that had a pipe organ installed when it was built in 1957.)

[@thomasmcintosh390]

Impossibly funky and progressive classical jazz fusion. Amazing, timeless.

As a life-long Zappa lover, I can attest that you are correct - NOT everyone is a fan - but those that are, REALLY are! I got to see him twice and they were both completely bananas shows. A truly unique genius! If you want to hear a gorgeous slow-jam, "Watermelon in Easter Hay" will not disappoint. And you'll get a hint of his subversive humor at the top. Great video as always!

I love that you guys appreciate Zappa. You are right he is an acquired taste, but if you get it, you get it.❤

Hot Rats is the second solo album by Frank Zappa, released in October 1969. Frank Zappa - guitar, octave bass, percussion Ian Underwood - piano, organus maximus, flute, all clarinets, all saxes Shuggie Otis - bass Ron Selico - drums Producer: Frank Zappa Director of engineering: Dick Kunc Engineers: Cliff Goldstein, Jack Hunt, Brian Ingoldsby, Dick Kunc Arranger: Frank Zappa

[@pilesovinyl]

Clarinets and saxes, great percussion and the drumming is exquisite.

[@willicat44]

Drum level is way out front...so interesting. Very broken rhythm contrasting with the very ridged melodies..

[@davidwilkins5932]

A bold point: The Beatles were still around when this was released. 🎼🎶

[@peteroneill3993]

Zappa. Has always been in his own lane. Pure musical genius on an industrial scale. There's so much more complexity and beauty in an ugly melody than a straight forward pretty one . Echidna's Arf is another track like this on the 1974 live album Roxy &Elsewhere. But I have wondered what you would think about the track City of tiny lights on the 1979 Sheik Yerbouti album 🤔 all my best to you and yours from Liverpool

[@carrerlluna66]

Happy Zappa Day La and Che from Ned in Spain. This song has it all and it's played by only 4 musicians, obviously multi tracking, with a rock solid groove to build it on. I love the sound and playing of drummer Ron Selico. It has been one of my favorites for over 50 years, thanks to my particularly hip cousins. BTW the bassist on this is 15 yr old Shuggie Otis, will you do a reaction to his "Inspiration Information" some day ???? Thanks for continuing your fantastic channel fellas.

[@jpmnewyork]

Yes, Shuggie, and his original recording of "Strawberry Letter #23" which was later a hit for The Brothers Johnson, but his was sublime and definitive.

[@carrerlluna66]

@@jpmnewyork I love that song and his original is definitely " The One" but the whole Inspiration LP is just beautiful.

His son Dweezel toured a few years ago and he played this album in full. Pretty amazing concert, especially that the band played every sound like the record.A few instruments would make you scratch your head. The smallest bass I've ever seen sounding exactly like an upright cello when plucked. No digital trickery.

Frank was a genius. Extraordinarily talented composer, great musician. He was also spot-on with his criticisms concerning politics & many other things. Legend.

[@alldayadventures5418]

Have only been to 1 Zappa concert, but I have heard he liked to start his shows off with this tune. Many high school, music school and jazz bands Cover this tune, and do it very well. Hope you guys got the Zappa CD's I mailed you.

[@michaelgray4964]

The thing to remember when you listen to Zappa is that nothing is improvised. Everything you hear he charted, wrote it in complete control of every note.

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Except for Willie the Pimp. That is a straight up jam.

[@michaelgray4964]

@@t.j.payeur5331 The exception to the rule. Still true, Frank was first and foremost a composer, and he was very hard on his musiciansrs about playing his music as it was written.

[@elisaabolafia9542]

I also read Michael, that not only did Zappa NOT do drugd or alcohol, but required SAME by his band. Understood. How could you remember the complexity of his arrangements if you were high as hell. Big props to this GENIUS❗

Have to react to this whole album. It's a classic.

[@cazkain]

Black Sabbath 3 weeks ago jonesing lol

[@timcardona9962]

Great reaction "I wanna know how many instruments are on this" - amazingly enough, its just one guy playing all the keyboards and horns and one of Zappa's favorite methods was to manipulate the speed/pitch of just a few horns to make it sound like a bigger ensemble. There's a lot of that going on here

[@kevinullsperger1940]

You guys would love The Illinois Enema Bandit (Zappa in New York album) 😊 Not only fantastic musically but also a true story!!

[@freddylubin]

A short symphony.

[@markdrechsler5660]

Frank was a real pioneer in recording technology. This is a prime early example of the possibilities of multi tracking, and treating the studio itself as a creative instrument. Other songs on this album are early examples of jazz and rock fusing in ways that kickstarted fusion as a genre. Killer album.

[@mushbone]

I saw Zappa at some college auditorium in Massachusetts in the early 70s. I went with friends and I hadn't heard much Zappa at the time. But then they played Peaches. It went in through my ears and wrapped itself around my soul. Frank got pissed off and yelled at the crowd for being so quiet, but I understood it. We were just speechless.

[@chrisconniff4493]

Dweezil is touring, go check him out!! Going 08/01 in Phoenix. He does small venues, amazing talent on stage❤

[@kengoodman756]

My favorite Zappa song is The Grand Wazoo.

[@christianmarler2253]

They say that listening to Mozart can actually raise the listener's I.Q. ...I kind of think Zappa in general, and pieces like this in particular, can do the same.

[@thomascerulli8013]

Guys this album came out in 69. It’s actually an Orchestral piece. And has been played by many orchestra’s in Europe. Frank actually had a much larger following over there. On one of your previous Zappa reactions. Chee compared him to Prince. As far as the levels they both worked on. I had to give that one some thought. And he nailed it. You’re the only reactors I’ve ever seen. That actually hear his music. The way it’s always worked with Frank is you can either hear his music or you don’t. The key to Frank was he wasn’t making music for us. He was making it for himself. My next suggestion is Uncle Remus from the Apostrophe album. As always Peace and continued success ❤

[@hklinker]

I think this record was made in the very earliest days of multi tracking.
