      would be great to see some Steve Vai in there too i hope, straight out of berklee he auditioned for zappa's band and got the part as keyboardist/guitarist but more importantly as the music transcriber, it was hard even for a berklee grad like steve vai because of all the odd things zappa would experiment with music, zappa was prog rock before prog rock even became a thing..
      and also steve vai already worked with alex winter before... in the bill and ted movies, the sound behind the air guitar was steve vai's noodling... and the epic guitar intro for the final song in the battle of the bands leading up to kiss's song 'god gave rock and roll to you' was done by steve vai

    The Zappa movie confirms everything I write about in my memoir of my time living and working for Frank in his log cabin in 1968 to 1971. The only book to detail his and Gail's personal life. 'Freak Out! My Life with Frank Zappa' by Pauline Butcher.

    My Zappa story: Back around 74 Zappa was the headliner of an all-day festival in Atlanta's baseball stadium. Sitting up high in the top deck we were playing Triva between acts. No one knew the name of Tom Mix's horse. A few hours later the Mothers are tuning up on stage. Zappa goes up to his mic, announces - Tom Mix's horse was Tony. We fell out of our seats, our game had traveled through the stadium and Zappa of course knew the answer!

      Hahaha.... yep. I often think about Zappa's social commentary nowadays- especially on the dumbass Republicans we've had in office so far this century. And we used to think Bush Junior was bad! Trump would have Frank Zappa rolling in his grave. I don't think even he could have imagined America would reach that level of stupidity. I always respected Frank's fierceness while fighting against stupidity and his outlook on the world... and that's completely apart from how amazing he was as a musician!

    • @spooge33
      @spooge33 Před 3 lety +1

      Ahmet introduced the idea, and Alex, to Gail. She gave exclusive access to The Vault. I don't believe Moon and Dweezil had much to do with it as Ahmet is the king of the family trust and the family does not get along. He's a Dickhead in my opinion. Dweezil once had access to all his dad's music when he started Zappa Plays Zappa, but he had to pay his mother. Also had to pay her a cut of his merch sales. Ahmet is King now after Gail died. Dweezils music is no longer on his dad's website. The only Zappa left with any musical talent, and he got hosed by his own family.

I encourage anyone to look into his interviews because he's quite astute to social issues and is a rare mind. Also just because i find his music annoying does not mean i dont respect a good chunk of it. The musicians he worked with (and Zappa) were TOP NOTCH !!
