Frank Zappa - Original Genius

FRANK ZAPPA - What can i say about this heavy mustached man with a guitar? When i got to know him and his legacy. I salute him with all honors as a rocker/shredder/musician. He overshadowed me so much that i thought of letting music be my past. Of course not la, because of him. I knew what making music is all about, expressing what you have inside of you and share it proudly.
This man released over 60 albums in his music career in a band and also solo, which he wrote all the songs, design all the covers, direct all the videos. What??!! 60. man.........

 With his integrity of music he has become the villain in american society, he fought for censorship in music."You can't censor words.." he said.
He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, self-education.
What music he play?
1) Rock
2) Jazz
3)Fusion
4) Classical
5) Blues
6) Everything

The most interesting part is, he can mix all those genre into a collage of musical experience. Tons of musician influenced by him, even the Beatles. He got into the Rock N Roll hall of Fame in 1995 and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997 after his death in 1993 of Prostate Cancer.
His childrens name are as creative as his work,
Moon Unit, Dweezil , Ahmet Emuukha and Diva Thin Muffin.
He does most of his recording and have Steve Vai working for him as a music transcriber and also Stunt Guitarist. 

 You must check out the new DVD by his son Dweezil Zappa playing his Dad's song live with Steve Vai on
Zappa Plays Zappa.
