Zappa interviews

Click for The Holy Grail.

In this vid Franks talks about making a stand then changing his mind. His ability to self check is apparent.


There are many great Frank interviews, footage and documentaries to be found. These videos document the tireless work of an obsessed and gifted composer. The footage also serves as a historical record of a great American patriot.

Frank did much activism, press and testimony regarding censorship laws and first amendment issues. Frank encouraged voter registration. Not to mention the mega activism that were the songs themselves.

Here Frank discusses drugs and hopelessness in 1988. "In '84 there were kids still throwing joints onto the stage"

Steve Vai on his audition with Frank.


Check out this Steve Vai tribute for Frank. At times Stevie sounds like a melting candle going over a waterfall!

I hope the ZFT will someday put out a video compiling Franks conducting techniques.
