Frank Zappa - Montana (A Token Of His Extreme)

Zappa edited it himself. It‘s his signature editing technique ;)

[@MrSpleeno]

Zappa is an acquired taste musically because he is doing so many things, taking so many risks. He hooks you in with the comedy angle but he's serious about his music. I interviewed Frank when I was in high school at the Record Plant in LA. He was totally humble, totally cool. He let us hang out while he mixed the Zappa in New York album. Then after the interview was over I said to him, "You'll just do this, like let some high school schmo like me interview you?" Zappa smiled and said, "Sure, why not - it beats the shit out of the Tom Snyder Show." I laughed, shook his hand, and that was that. Still have a couple photos to remind me of him on the boards mixing his music. Tragic early death, avoidable and a great loss to the world of music. RIP Frank. Thanks for the music, and thanks for the laughs.

[@MrSpleeno]

TATTOO VAMPIRE1966 Thank you! It was an exceptional moment in time. I remember, before the interview started, I was leaning up against an old (then fairly new) pinball machine called "Fireball" in the lobby of The Record Plant - and this guy walks up to me in a trench coat with a thermos of coffee in one had, the other outstretched toward me. He looked into my eyes and said, "Hi, I'm Frank Zappa." I stuttered and said, "Umm, Yeah, I'm David - this is my crew. We're here to do that interview." "Yeah - I know" he said. "Come on in the studio - I'm working on something." So yeah, it was very cool - thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

I always envied and admired FZ. He never aquired the commercial success of a lot of the acts of his era.

A prime example of someone who did it his way.

I get laughed at when I tell people to listen to how good he was. They just see the lampooning

[@winter2400]

@Evil Robin and here folks we have someone who has no clue about guitar playing but can't keep his mouth shut

[@alexanderkalinchenko4038]

@@texasjr1804 So, Tex, don t bother anymore. Just keep the joy of understanding Frank's music to yourself. It id their loss

[@zackattack635]

Alexander Kalinchenko if I chewed gum, spit it on the ground and said “that’s art!”... I’d have a better artistic argument than “Zappa was pretty good at guitar”.

[@johntechwriter]

“Goin' to Montana soon Gonna be a dental floss tycoon . . .” Frank come back! We need you so badly right now!

[@moseskelly19]

The man The myth The legend Rip Frank I try to have a little frank In my life every day Miss you frank

[@chessboy00]

those flash cuts killing me... the music is complicated enough, don't need to freak my eyes out to boot!

[@suzyq5442]

Was just thinking the same...Thank Gawd im not on schroomies or white clinical lmao

[@StevePrentice]

The sound quality of this recording is great.

[@mattdonnelly3376]

Been on the earth for 36 years and finally gave Zappa a chance. I see what the fuss is about, awesome.

[@davidgari3240]

Loves me some Zappa. Thanks Frank!

[@dockaiser]

This 70's editing technique is so exhausting, when they try to cut rhythmically on every beat

[@johnharris8393]

dockaiser Yes, I suspect this is probably beyond your train of thought.

[@wadethewiseman]

John Harris he is saying that the act of actually editing in that style is exhausting captain misplaced condescension

[@123xqp]

John Harris It's not beyond my train of thought, but it's lazy editing/production and it's fucking distracting.

[@CaptainBuster]

It's about getting the green, switching rapidly between blue and yellow...

[@johnharris8393]

Thanks for that info guys and appreciate the manner in which you answered.

[@mfonamisson1036]

I had a older lady come into my headshop an reminded me about zap! Unlocked a old memory for me 😭

[@sozeytozey]

This is the first time ive ever actually listened to zappa, and I didn’t expect anything less

[@brianmonayong2769]

Frank Vincent Zappa was simply in a class all by himself. He is EASILY one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. We will never see his like again..

[@aaronbaraiya3692]

agreed, he was rare breed

[@crbradbury8282]

Doesn't beat John Mayer or Tupac. Those types made new genre popular and made pop music money same time!

[@brianmonayong2769]

I don’t know about Tupac, but he definitely beats John Mayer. The hell outta here with that nonsense.

[@rolanddurand3385]

Awsome and trumendous !!! When Jazz rock's played with perfection. Frank, we miss you !

[@stankatic8182]

Poo poo tana na . Then a monster solo . Love it !

[@andrewbetrosian2784]

I am very thankful that I got to see him in Detroit back in the 80's.

[@robertobrunelli8007]

Superb, excellent, stunning, wonderful Zappa and all his band!!!!

[@Mattwest1985]

Looks like his band has so much fun jamming and I love it! I feel like Frank is as ahead of his time for sure! People didn’t know what to think lol

[@albertoortega2467]

De otro planeta .....insuperable .....dónde estes hermano abrazo ......GENIO .....DE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷♥️👏

[@MikeMarengo-qs4lt]

I was introduced to Zappa in the early 80's... and from then on in loved his music...A very unique music artist...

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

Zappa, like Van Morrison, Donald Fagan, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jeff Lynn etc always had such tight musical backup players behind him!

[@okamuspanulirus9614]

wow this is a whole narrative, first time hearing his music heard him since I got into guitar but damn this is fresh

[@tomservo1971]

Sometimes this song just randomly pops into my head. I still don't floss enough.

[@philoupaulo]

It's a real pleasure to listen this band of exceptional musicians and can you imagine the pleasure they take in playing together ?

[@Jimmyback1000]

A truly brilliant genius of a man. He could do anything. This guitar solo he plays on Montana is so sublime. It should blow many people away! New fans everyday…miss you Frank! Your music will never die, or the magical spirit of your expertise…xx

[@Lacquerhead-2112]

I love the energy in this version of Montana. Napoleon’s just in the groove, man. lmao

[@dannydev9829]

The most unpredictable musical patterns to ever exist, and somehow it sounds out of this planet

[@truehappiness407]

This one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced. Finally something to express how I feel
