Why was Zappa affraid of Steely Dan???
rockandrollbadboy
chicks?
Aren't those the two reasons we all got into rock and roll? As a
professional journalist with over twenty years in the trenches, I have
two questions for you!
1) Who would know more about Zappa and Steely Dan - you or a
journalist who has spent time with both artist? 2) What is a better
album - Joe's Garage or Katy Lied?
Still not convinced... read my article as it appeared in Rolling Stone
magazine:
STEELY DAN IS THE BEST RECORDED BAND IN MUSIC HISTORY: Hey, Frank
Zappa fans, FUCK OFF! Uh oh, I just gave Frank Zappa a song title. Get
ready for an overly produced and pretentious song called "Hey, Frank
Zappa fans, FUCK OFF!" What did Zappa know - he was too baked to
understand a group like Steely Dan. Those who know good music know
Steely Dan. The brainchild of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely
Dan made some of the greatest music in rock history. I submit for your
approval just a few documents: 1972's "Can't Buy A Thrill", 1973's
"Countdown to Ecstasy", 1974's "Pretzel Logic", 1975's "Katy Lied",
1976's "The Royal Scam", 1977's "Aja" - must I go on! This is a band
that has consistently delivered the goods for the past 30 years! Hey
just 'cause someone is good looking and intelligent, does that make
them an asshole? David Hasselhoff is a genius in Germany, but he can't
buy a fart in America! Give him a lazy eye and some webbed feet and
they'll call him a genius! Quick - turn to your right and count the
number of Steely Dan records in your collection. If you say less than
three then you're a liar! I hate liars! I love Steely Dan, and so do
you. So grab a Red Bull, put on "Katy Lied" and all your sins will be
forgiven!

I know more about Zappa but I don't think I've heard Steely Dan at all.
Except one time on Letterman where there were these funny-looking old men
playing a bad song about a "cousin", which Letterman said was Steely Dan.
But perhaps it's like hearing the 1988 version of "Stevie's Spanking" as
your only exposure to Zappa :)
> 2) What is a better album - Joe's Garage or Katy Lied?
Kathy Lied ... I suppose.

I remember that, one of them asked the crowd if they knew who the Mothers'
drummer was. Everybody in the crowd laughed and looked around, and Becker-(I
think) yelled out Jimmy Carl Black! They know Zappa was the best.

from the fact that they employed a large staff of professional sleuths
and goons to stay one step ahead of us on the road, and lay in wait at
each town. Sometimes they were disguised as fans, sometimes just as local
citizens, waitstaff in the hotel restaurant, etc, but I always knew who
they were. It was so obvious.

most of the time I feel 41. In fact, I have a general dislike and distrust

in Zappa or any good music.
With that being said, I don't blame you for thinking I was a teenager going

be "afraid" of the Dan? Seems a bit odd donšt you think.
Im a fan of both and they never seem to get in the way of each other. Both
musical masterminds, but in different genres - actually both have created
musical genres of their own.
I think both Dan/Walter and Frank would have a good chuckle about it...

That is most assuredly *not* what the troll asked. The troll specifically asked
why Frank was "affraid" of Steely Dan.
Which proves that he is not only a troll, he is an imbecile.

The RS article that the author has written seems to be very recent -
he says that the Dan have given us great music for the last 30 years.
Can't Buy a Thrill - 1972 - plus 30 equals 2002.
(And have you noticed how he conveniently forgets about Dan and Walt's
extended vacation after "Gaucho"?)*
In which case, at the time of writing, Frank was long gone on his last
tour.
So, you have to ask yourself, why is this person slagging off Frank
when he's dead, can't defend himself and couldn't write a song
entitled "Hey Frank Zappa Fans Fuck Off" even if he wanted to?
Because a dead person is an easy target.
What this guy is doing is a bit like a satirical comedian going
onstage and basing his whole routine on the state of the world before
WWII and trying to get a laugh out of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini.
It just isn't relevant to what's going on today.
Of course, if the article was written whilst Frank was alive, then the
sums just don't add up.
In which case, this guy would make as good a mathematician as he would
a satirist.
It may be be superfluous to say that he's not that good a journalist
either, but - hey - it's too late now..........
OK, so he's a troll, and trolls are best left unfed.
However, sometimes what you find crawling out when you lift up a rock
is so repulsively fascinating that you have to waste just a little
time on it.
Time to put the rock back..........
*That makes eight years of productivity pre-vacation and then about
nine years after the lay-off marked only by one live and one studio
album.
And we on AFFZ moan about the scarcity of new releases.........
Still - at least the Dan managed to get a DVD out ;-)

If you could explain to use the concept of moveable doe, you might
even come off as crediable.
Ok we'll settle for an explaination of an appeggio
How about a Crescendo ?

Any ZAPPA fan who doesn't have a basic grasp of most of the

I wrote this because of the ORGINAL troll who came in here as a self

Of course he hasn't answered my questions because, as one might expect
he wouldn't know a G major chord from a snare drum from a penatonic

ARE you talking to me or the orginal poster ?
If your talking to me, an arpeggio is a series of notes played one at
a time which consist as the root, 3rd, 5th, etc etc of a chord.
though these notes are played one at a time they imply the intonation
of the chord itself. If you play ONLY the root and the 5th of the
chord those two notes will combined to mimic or imply the 3rd of the
chord
I am quite sure all this is well beyond the grasp of the self proclaim
musical expert/troll who started this thread.

"If you not a musican there's a pretty big chance your not going to

No, because you engage in my-dad-can-beat-your-dad
flamewars with the trolls: stooping to their level. And you
give the distinct impression that Zappa fans think "arpeggio"
and "crescendo" are advanced stuff that only hot-shots

Surely an arpeggio is *any* chord played one note at a time.
The notes don't have to be played in any hierarchy of pitch.
Thus a chord like C9 *could* be played one note at a time, thusly:
E Bb C D G

Or Dali even.........
As for non-musicians not "getting" Frank's music, I think that's
elitist bollocks, but - hey - what do I know?
That's like saying that people who aren't painters couldn't get Dali.
Or non-writers couldn't get Shakespeare.
Or non-sporty types couldn't get the Olympics.

How about the other two?
mike macken
you obviously missed the point.......you don't have to understand the
mechanics or genuis of it to appreciate it but it sure helps.
HEY HERE'S A FACT there have been SEVERAL Very Accomplished musicans
who played in Franks bands who unabashedly admitted "HALF THE TIME
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, he was
just in another relm musically speaking"
I guess its sorta like driving a car you have to know to step on the
gas pedal to make it go, but you need not understand the mechanics of
the result of your actions.
Thus i sorta think of musicans in the manner that some are good
drivers, some are great drivers BUT SO FEW LIKE ZAPPA were not only
great drivers they could build a car.
Hey i know a good car when i drive one or see one but building one is
admittedly way beyond my capabilities.

grasp. Instead it is not impossible, just much less likely that you
will appreciate FZ music if you are not a musician
I admit I know little about the nuts and bolts of producing music.
Unless you count my two years as a teenager I was a tenor drummer in a
bagpipe band. We did quite a few parades. Almost everyone I know that
appreciates FZ music beyond the references to blow jobs and the use of
the word "fuck" has some musical experience.
You may not see a logical reason that I should like this music, but I
do. It often gets me in the gut. It is a gut feeling. It is the
emotional impact that attracts me. Perhaps much of the nuts and bolts
are beyond me. I remember Dr. Frink explaining to the kindergartners
that he would not let them play with a toy because they wouldn't enjoy
it on as many levels as he would. My response to Dr. Frink is best put
by DVV in FZ's LE: "Fuck you if you don't like my hat."

I could distinguish a snare drum from the other two, but I'm not sure
about distinguishing the other two.

Yup that about sums it up.....there are very few guys that can make me
feel like i am on a muscial roller coster with no seat belt....just a
few that come to mind off the top of my head would be Zappa
Charile Parker, Buddy Rich, Maybe Duke Ellington

Or a fast and bulbous dough flamingo eating crabgrass from under an
enormously-peckered, so wise-beyond-his-years baby on a New Jersey Italian's
front lawn whose mama needs an inner-tube patching???
