Frank Zappa Quotes

Let’s be realistic about this, the guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That’s why I like it . . . The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that’s my idea of a good time Picture Quote #1

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer Picture Quote #1

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you’ve been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working Picture Quote #1

I’m more interested in melodic things. I think the biggest challenge when you go to play a solo is trying to invent a melody on the spot Picture Quote #1

The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn’t, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that’s a bonus Picture Quote #1

I think there’s plenty of room, even in the most serious activist circles, for humor. Humor can be very effective both to inspire, and as a weapon. Just ask Frank Zappa and Charlie Chaplin Picture Quote #1

Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rockÃ‚Â´n roll musicians go to the garages Picture Quote #1

My parents were big music fans, and my dad plays music, so I grew up with Madonna, Frank Zappa, the Beatles, Alice In Chains... it was all over the place. I had a Third Eye Blind record, but I also had Korn, Courtney Love, and Shania Twain Picture Quote #1

Do we really want to know how Michael Jackson makes his music? No. We want to understand why he needs the bones of the Elephant Man -- and, until he tells us, it doesn’t make too much difference whether or not he really is ‘’bad Picture Quote #1

It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia Picture Quote #1

I searched for years I found no love. I’m sure that love will never be a product of plasticity Picture Quote #1

I think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it’s reflective of the chords that I’m considering as I’m soloing, and at the same time I’m going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument Picture Quote #1

When Frank Zappa would get an idea for a song, he just did it. He didn’t wait for anybody or expect anyone to do it Picture Quote #1

I chased every band around the world. Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, you name it. I could just go on and on. It was my hobby, my pastime, and my obsession for several years Picture Quote #1

I think the thing that I got most from working with Frank Zappa is that I was able to see someone who completely independent. The most beautiful thing about Frank was that he was completely in the moment and present and eternally creative Picture Quote #1

... Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa’s another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he’s an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

Somebody under 30, if the name Frank Zappa came up, they would just say, Who? To me that didn’t sit well, because I felt my dad’s accomplishments in music should be better known, not just in a popular way, but better understood Picture Quote #1
