>requires absolute virtuosity from all band members, ruling with an iron fist and complete control over every note>noodles pentatonically over 2 chords for 8 minuteswhat did he mean by this
>>130745407Hes based, a true original
He was gonna be a filmmaker and score his own films. Beefheart talked him out of that.
he was insanely talented but I think his music lacked emotion. The first album he did is my fav
>>130745407Zappa means hoe in Italian
>>130745407>noodles pentatonically over 2 chords for 8 minutesidk which tracks your talking about specifically but people really do overuse the term 'noodling'. It's possible to solo with intention and actually accomplish something, but a lot of people just hear solos as a bunch of arbitrary decisions. Zappa has of course done both, but he is for sure capable
>>130745407There's a middle line between this you know, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCl9JWlf60I>>130745820King Kong is 2 chords but the whole band improvises on that
>>130746004kong is good imo, it's kind of a combo of both, soloing with intention but it also gets way off the rails at points which I guess you could call 'noodly' but imo it's sort of a bit. Zappa's music was supposed to be funny, and sometimes they just get super obnoxious on purpose.I'm not even the biggest Zappa fan so I don't mean to dick ride this hard, but there's a million other hack guitarists that get hailed as legends that I'd call noodly before Zappa
>>130746075Frankz ethos with guitar solos was improvisation/noodling. Tbh I dont think there's anything really wrong with it, spontaneous bursts of spirit but I think you really need to have a distinct style nailed down,,
>>130746106he does have a distinct style. nobodies solos sound like zappas
>>130746106>improvisation/noodlingi hope you're not implying that these are the same thing. You can improv with intention. Noodling (to me anyway) means aimless. In Zappa's case though, being aimless /can/ be intentional. A lot of his shit was WAY over the top on purpose, and that involved some really meandering aimless shit going on
>>130746127i wasnt aware of the distinction, thanks
>>130745407More like what did you mean by this?None of your statements are true.
zappa thread everyone sing along to this Toto hit!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp93bcp4HCM
>>130746853>In this technique, various tracks from unrelated sources are randomly synchronized with each other to make a final composition with rhythmic relationships unachievable by other meansThere really is something quite distinct about xenochrony especially compared to your standard polyrhythm. Who else does this? Imagine eating the yellow snow.
Zappa ragebait 'I'm lying about what his music sounds like' threads are dogshit and the OP(s?) of them should be ashamed. Zappa tier list.
>>130745407i like his soloing, a lot of them are fun to listen to and are nice breathers after the more wankier bits>>130745463thank god because frank was not a good director by any means. a few of scripts he wrote that exist are fucking terrible, and if 200 motels is anything to go off of, he just didn't have the same "control" he did behind the camera that he would with any sort of band or orchestra. baby snakes is a pretty good movie but it's hard to fuck up a concert movie
>>130746956Rank his touring bands
>>130746970I don't know enough about his sidemen (aside from George Duke) to accurately do that.
>>130746956One Size deserves to be way higher. Fym
>>130746982Personally I am of the very strong opinion that those who HATE the 84 tour don't truly understand nor appreciate Frank's music. 1970 is frequently overlooked particularly because of flo and eddy. Disparagingly referred to as the vaudeville band. Penis Dimension! Was a fine first outing for George Duke and Aynsley Dunbar is a critically underrated drummer, too bad the tape quality is generally poor.

A mountain is something you don't want to fuck with. Don't fuck with Billy.
>>130746956you only rate 38 albums. there are over 100 to choose from.
>>130747219I only rated his non-posthumous studio albums and a few essential lives. Obviously if I included his B side comps, posthumous stuff, other live albums, etc, It'd be bigger.
