Text 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I searched for years I found no love. I’m sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) People like Frank Zappa and Bryan Ferry knew we could pick and choose from the history of music, stick things together looking for friction and energy. They were more like playwrights; they invented characters and wrote a life around them.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) ... 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...  (Frank Zappa Quotes) 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.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) My obligation is to release the music the way Frank [Zappa] released it  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Frank [Zappa]’s music was never for the mass audience. His music contains specific kinds of information that you won’t find elsewhere in rock and roll.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I think that people are entitled to be amused, and entertained. If they see deviations from this classical norm, it’s probably good for their mental health.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) These girls wouldn’t let just anybody spew on their vital parts, they wanted a guy from a group with a big hit song on the charts.  (Frank Zappa Quotes) The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Art is making something out of nothing and selling it  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Call any vegetable and the chances are good that the vegetable will respond to you  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years  (Frank Zappa Quotes) I hit you and I beat you and I told you that I love you  (Frank Zappa Quotes) There will never be a nuclear war; there’s too much real estate involved  (Frank Zappa Quotes) Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement  (Frank Zappa Quotes)
