ZAPPA - Cheepnis | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Jon and Dolly Reaction

[@JoyfulOrb]

Zappa was a musical genius, with a sense of humor the size of the moon!

[@Itelkner]

Great humor with Frank!

[@avatacron60]

Ok, ok...

[@Geraint3000]

You guys did a really good reaction to this. I shall check out the rest of your stuff.

[@tomwoliver]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Zappa!

[@Geraint3000]

And remember, that was LIVE.

Wow"is a word l uttered 40 years ago when l first heard this double album "Roxy and elsewhere " l was 18 and l was mesmerised by the genius of FZ and his musicians , it had the effect of electrical shock running through my mind ; in 1982 the current music was mainly Disco,British new wave and Reggae but Zappa's style was from an other world :so complex using different musical scales and most of all unpredictable with a variety of social topics touching the lives of the American simple folks.What l appreciate though is the reaction of the lady on this video ( she looks baffled and taken by surprise) it's certainly the first time she listens to this song .This particular song is the most sophisticated song in the history of Rock and no one can deny it because it's heavy with musical variations that no one except FZ can come up with .Thank you for this video and God bless you.

You have fallen into the comedic genius of Frank Zappa, a composer, guitarist, human commentariats extraordinaire. To try and explain who he is, and the level of his genius is impossible. You simply have to experience it. I'd suggest listening to the whole album this song came from: Live at the Roxy/Hollywood (1973). You can find it right here on KZbin. There really is no one who's even close to this guy. He's self-taught and will often write out the entire score of his songs, such as this one. As a matter of fact, for the first seven years of his career (beginning at age 14) he wrote only instrumental pieces. Later he got into rock and other genres. At times, the complexity of his music is mind blowing, yet he doesn't just write complex music for the sake of being complex. He does so in a way that allows the music to flow and blast the listener from their seat. This song is a great example.

[@brucepieroni9102]

Frank's music has been snappin' my mindfor 50 years. Still need some every day? NOT INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cliffordhampton344]

You said that well...you nailed it.

[@smorrow]

Even superfans are promoting the "he charted everything out" myth now? Come on, you know that's not true. Recall how What's New in Baltimore was written.

[@dalejohnson2638]

Steve vai was a guitarist for frank at one point and terry bozio on drums

[@stevedotwood]

Roxy The Movie is an excellent DVD stuffed with bizarre performances and amazing music. It's considered the Holy Grail of Zappa music.

[@Ed-yu9xe]

Thanks that was fun watching you both get initiated into the world of Zappa!

[@charlyhrs]

try being there live......I was there at the Roxy which is not a big stage to begin with and he had all that percussion and 2 drummers (one of them being Chester Thompson way before he was in Genesis) and George Duke on keys. that was one of the most talented bands Zappa ever had. It was one of the best Zappa shows I have ever had the pleasure to see

[@eljayr517]

Great that you've discovered Frank, there's lots to listen too, so hope you check his other stuff, one of the great modern day composers, sadly missed !

[@karenmandeville7116]

one of my favorite Zappa cuts-especially the giant poodle LOL

[@mrkrinkle72]

A sweet story, you've heard of mystery science theater right? Well, when Frank was on his deathbed, he wrote them guys a letter telling them they created the best show in history! And, they riff this actual movie and its comedy gold!!

[@Itelkner]

Man, I'm almost moved to tears in reading this. It makes total sense Frank would love MST3K. I love them both.

[@jonlate4581]

One of Frank's favorite things to eat was a Hebrew National hot dog cooked over an open stove burner until it was pretty charred. One of his albums is called Burnt Weenie Sandwich, named after this delicacy. He liked hot dogs.😎

[@steelers6titles]

NEVER forget Phil Tucker's legendary "Robot Monster". Phil was on a tight budget lol. He knew a guy who owned his own gorilla suit, and would work cheap. He stuck a diving helmet on the guy's head, and the terrifying Robot Monster was born.

[@robperry5293]

Franks brain worked on a whole other level. I read a book on Frank many years ago. I can't remember which school Frank went to, but it was either USC or UCLA and Frank won awards while in the music program that had never been given to anyone that wasn't in the science or math department. I got to see-hear Frank in concert 2 times, was incredible!

[@jimblack2171]

Zappa was the best.

[@avatacron60]

He's _still_ the best.

[@GoodCorporateRobot]

Great reaction. More Zappa please!

[@steelers6titles]

In Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster, the gigantic octopus monster thing quit working. Ed didn't want to waste money; he didn't have a lot of it to begin with. So he had star Bela Lugosi "pull" the thing's tentacles around him himself, like he was helping it to strangle him or something lol

[@johnbidochka2795]

Biased as I may be, the entire record Roxy & Elsewhere is a true masterpiece, incredibly intricate and was so far ahead of its time. Check out "Penguin In Bondage", complex yet humorous, truly Frank. Cheers

[@alexdrummer2175]

Yes. My favorite Zappa album

[@ljw5768]

This entire album is stupendous. A tour de force.

[@mikedemike5393]

watch it live in studio...recording it... Frank Zappa and the Ikettes Recording at Bolic Sound - 1973 - KZbin

[@pipco121234]

There the Iketes backup singing boys and girls, as in Tina Turner and the Iketes

[@kevinlundgren1169]

If you wanted more info about ZAPPA , then you should know that he writes everything out note for note then gives it to the band to play , and if you can't read music , you do not get in ZAPPA S band , The Mothers Of Invention . Yes , Frank can play the guitar very well , he is in my top five of my guitar gods!!!!!!!

[@kennethmardis2132]

So much talent

[@timfeeley714-25]

You've been Zapped, and are in for years of fun, discovery and holy crap did you hear that moments !!!

[@alhaskell242]

All of Zappa’s musicians are top drawer,but I still like Ruth Underwood on percussion the best,

[@davetothebeard]

If you like this there’s plenty more. Zappa was very prolific and wildly creative. 60 albums when he died in 1993.

[@steelers6titles]

The Killer Shrews--dogs with fearsome appendages attached to their snouts lol

[@jeffharry9675]

Back years ago I loved the Hot Rats album.

[@wazoogrand1]

You don't anymore?

[@simonpegge2843]

Yep ! 👌

[@joebarrera9741]

This is why FRANK ZAPPA IS CONSIDERED a GENIUS BECAUSE HE IS AT ONE POINT STEVE VAI WAS IN THIS BAND

[@TommiBrem]

Thank you, Jeffrey!

[@danjacobs8545]

Roxy is the best. Son of Orange County is sublime, but this is such a fun track, loved your reaction to this, it is absolutely the correct reaction 😄

[@ronwilliams6565]

Great analysis Jon...Zappa RIP had some hilarious lyrics..lol

[@marlon-jl4ge]

Zappa Mixes a few styles of music together and is called a genius? Its Bullshit, hahahaha he fooled the whole World with his music

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

all music is composed people! firstly who does this? only a genius. somebody out there in that audience knows what we are doing and that person is getting of it beyond his or her wildest comprehension. come on down and get some on ya!

[@vachelmcfarland4886]

If you want a Zappa tune anyone can relate to, listen to the instrumental "Sexual Harassment In the Workplace.". You'll thank me later.

[@steelers6titles]

And note George Romero's hugely-influential Night of the Living Dead, filmed on location around Pittsburgh.

[@erikahlander3489]

If you want more similar I suggest the Yellow snow suite (its in four part - about 11 min) skilful, entertaining and absurd. Unfortunately its an audio. No video version to my knowledge.

[@dalejohnson2638]

Zappa had some of the best players it was musical theater lol

[@cliffordhampton344]

Frank called his music a movie for your ears.

[@AndyMmusic]

Silly lyrics and serious music is how most Frank Zappa songs are!

[@twwtjohns]

If you want to blow your mind try and count the various overlapping time changes in the song sometime. If Zappa was anything he was a musical genius.

[@rongt859]

No one comes near Frank and the Mothers , any decade ! discovered Frank as a teen in 71 and lost my musical innocence

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

Don't let the poodle bite me!

[@jaquestraw1]

Do more Zappa guys, I'll be there!

[@ulgn1964]

At last, Zappa.

[@tamerlano2420]

Zappa. The most creative clever musical madhouse ever existed.

[@tampawakos]

You have just scratched the surface of Frank Zappa, who by the way is the greatest guitarist to ever grace his presence on this round Earth 🌎

[@Ontario201]

HI THWZ--------You see and hear actual the Ikettes:) Ike was not impressed but so was Tina Turner:)

[@ger2827]

I'm a fan of zappa, but where did you get that studio video clip from? Greetings

[@hchris736]

It is from Roxy, The Movie.

[@alansilverman8500]

Pleease pass the popcorn... does anyone here like licorice?

[@athanatic]

Zappa is a primary influence of MST3K and rest of the riffing for pay movement! (Joel Hodgson agrees.) Look up "Does Humor Belong in Music?" I think the argument is clear.

[@steelers6titles]

Frank loved old doo-wop music, too. Go cry on somebody else's shoulder.

[@johnsrensen3366]

More zappa madness check out im so cute or tiitties s and beer you won't be dissapointed 😂

[@johnsrensen3366]

MOOOORE ZAPPA❤😎🎸

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

Those girls singing are the Ikettes.

[@steelers6titles]

Greatest of all remains the hallowed Plan 9 From Outer Space, by Ed Wood, the master of inexpensive cinematic brilliance. The day and night shots don't match. So what? Need a flying saucer to blow up? Light a paper plate on fire and toss it at the camera. Poor Bela Lugosi had died, but Wood hawked the movie as Lugosi's last film. Some footage of Bela was included in the picture, but, to replace him, Ed hired his wife's chiropractor, who was much taller than Lugosi, and looked nothing like him. Continuity? What's that? Oh yeah, the tombstones are cardboard, and bend over.

[@TommiBrem]

Yeah! Love that tune. Also: First.

[@joebarrera9741]

FRANK ZAPPA IS GOD...ENOUGH SAID

[@tixximmi1]

Tina Turner helped sing the background voices.

[@anitnec]

Beast Name . Sir you have quite an Hairstyle . What is that Colour 🤙

[@joshuabruner9676]

can you do watermelon in easter hay? Thanks!

[@RobRager]

If 5his is your first exposure to Zappa… He’s not always this conventional

[@tdelso]

but he can also be more conventional

[@marlon8185]

Genius, ein langweiler, der die leute verrarscht hat
