Is his life's story really that amazing?

Benjamin Powell
Zappa was a right wing libertarian though. hes basically hitler
Logan Kelly
hes forgotten history, just another avant-garde hippie. we have plenty.
Oliver Wright
the last thing zappa would want
he already made his own film masterpiece anyway
Carter Anderson
But there is one
Adam Hall
Zappa was a stone cold capitalist and wouldnt hesitate to tell anyone. He was outspoken about this, but since he was also critical of televangelist in the 80s, people think he was this big time leftist
Xavier Morris
>just another avant-garde hippie
a genius IQ right wing classical and cutting edge rock musician
Jayden Foster

>I'm not even close to listening to his complete discography
Nathan Price
he was total garbage and inspired a heap of garbage bands too.
Thomas Miller
Yeah, his views on the religious right definitely obfuscated how people decided he was. His interviews on economical or political things are usually pretty great.
Lucas Nelson
King Crimson is better, and they're still relevant
Nathaniel Myers
Zappa was a hardcore libertarian. He literally said "I am a conservative" on an episode of crossfire in the 80s. He would undoubtly hate the SJW left of today, just as he hated the religious censors of his day in the 80s. dont forget that Al Gores wife, a democrat, is the one who led the crusade to censor music
Bentley Garcia
Wasn't he a CIA plant?
Justin Perez
the point in his early 20s where an undercover cop hired him to make a soundtrack for a porn film, and then arrested him for it.. was pretty funny. especially when FZ got to play the tape in court, with all the moaning and giggling and bedsprings. he faked it with his girlfriend.
Sebastian Stewart
He was very much opposed to Reagan and Nixon. Came off like a conspiratorial Ron Paul type.
Joseph Butler
he said he tried weed once, and it made him sleepy. and never again.
when he announced a no-drugs policy for the Mothers of Invention, some of the band members had a meeting and considered kicking him out of the band. unfortunately for them, he wrote all the music, so they couldn't.
Ayden Rodriguez
This is the correct assessment.
Jace Morris
It will suck for the same reason American Nightmare documentary sucked. It will be empty fanboy crap.
Eli Powell
>Came off like a conspiratorial Ron Paul type.
yeah pretty much. Zappa was basically a libertarian
Juan Williams
You know how hard someone would laugh at if you said that in real life. You better get it out of your system on a Korean coupon clipping image board.
William Cook
ITT: musicians people only pretend to like
Henry Nguyen
Chase Ward
CIA?
Jordan Foster
Sorry, bro.
Nobody really cares.
Ayden Lee
Zappa was a conservative Libertarian that hated the religious-right. He was basically as close to the founding fathers ideology as you're going to get

OP is a fag as always.
Jackson Lopez
his influence and legacy are up there. his life was certainly eventful and he had his share of lean times and disasters.
December 1971 alone would be worth a film, marginally.
If you played it as an inspirational bio, you could have something. Zappa himself would think it is stupid, and he said so himself several times.
Besides, he left behind a body of music and film that they are still sorting through, 20+ years after his death. That is his legacy and it speaks for itself.
Joshua Jackson
he mellowed some after 1971. He didn't care what someone did as long as they could rehearse and perform while straight. If they couldn't, they were gone.
N M Brock, for example.
Nathaniel Murphy
Yeah and it's too bad that the age of pandering to the iron edge lords has passed and it'll never get made now.
Samuel Turner
His life story doesn't really lend itself much to a compelling narrative. He would just get up early, smoke cigarettes and write enough music to put out five albums a year for decades.
Daniel Bennett
Zappa brings back memories. I remember a friend introduced me to Frank Zappa during my last year of high school and it was moment I'll never forget.
Adrien Brody or Joaquin Phoenix could play Zappa, directed by PTA.
Isaac Cook
There are two films about him in the can and another in the works ... all feature archived footage.
If OP means a new pic with an actor playing Zappa (other than Ringo in 200 Motels), then it would probably suffer the fate of nearly all biopics of musicians: people would watch it only for the music and concert footage, and that is already out there.
Sebastian Davis
kys
Justin Lopez
Frank Sidebottom wouldn't have been an interesting story and yet Frank proved well. If it were done like Boogie Nights you'll get a pretty decent film.
William Foster
There was an awful biopic of Hendrix released recently, with Andre 3000 playing Jimi, and other actors playing Paul McCartney and so on. They didn't have permission from Jimi's estate, so the music was performed by a session guitarist.
Is that what you really want? The ZFT would not allow anything else unless they were making the film.
Ayden Carter
>hippie
your pleb is showing, fagget
Robert Hughes
The best part of 200 Motels is "Dental Hygiene Dilemma"
Colton Turner
here is the short version:
Jason Cruz
>THOUGHT HE WAS A MAN, BUT HE WAS A MUFFIN
what did he mean by this?
also, is there anybody in the real world that actually likes this guy? I can't think of more than two songs that I actually enjoy, the rest being a steaming heap of dogshit
am I missing something?
Nathaniel Stewart
A fair movie could be made about Frank Zappa Sr. Spies, WWII chemical testing, radiation, fringe meteorology, and poker strategy that was years ahead of it's time.
I am a huge fan of Mr. Zappa (Sr)
Charles Ward
I would rather have a Captain Beefheart biopic.
Angel Ross
the lyrics to Muffin Man are incomplete on "Bongo Fury".
Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.
...
...
No cries were heard in the night as a result of him stuffin' (it in).
It is a song about a weak man who cannot satisfy his woman, basically.
Other songs of note include "Why does it hurt when I pee?", which is about STDs, "In France", about STDs, "Electric Aunt Jemima", which is about starving musicians.
There are many more, which tend to be the platform for his guitar solos, which are very inventive and non-repetitive. If you are a fan of this kind of solo, I would recommend any of the instrumental albums featuring his work.
Bentley Harris
Came here to post this. Thanks user.
Nicholas Campbell

Angel Cox
>not liking Zappa
You should consider suicide.
Nathan White
thanks for the reply user
In France is kind of amusing, the other two are obnoxious
I can't seem to enjoy this guys work, it actually happens to me when I encounter these original "inventive" out of the picture kind of artists, somehow like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gong, Yes, Ozric Tentacles, etc. I can't enjoy more than a couple of songs without starting to think how much of a pretentious delusional repulsive bunch of faggots they must be trying to push the fucking obnoxious pile of crap they come up with as genuinely enjoyable music
>I would recommend any of the instrumental albums featuring his work.
such as? trying for the last time today
Connor Reed
>cutting edge rock music
he's just a weird al that takes himself seriously
Nathaniel Allen

Brody Anderson

Thomas White
His stache had parasitic qualities, why do you think he died so young?
Xavier Bailey
Showtime had a cable movie about Hendrix a while back and the same shit happened with the estate. Who's the retard in charge
Jose Foster
...
Juan Clark
He looks more like Dweezil. Serj Tankian could absolutely be convincing as Frank though
Christian Sullivan
cancer from fucking so much
Hunter Wood
His life in New York before the mothers is pretty interesting.
Aiden White
>Describing his political views, Frank Zappa categorized himself as a "practical conservative"[nb 12] and an "independent".[not in citation given] He favored limited government and low taxes; he also stated that he approved of national defense, social security, and other federal programs, but only if recipients of such programs are willing and able to pay for them.[211] He favored capitalism, entrepreneurship, and independent business.

$20 bucks says they would do this to show how stupid and silly the oppressive government is and how he's a champion of free speech. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but they would probably miss the point about his satire of American pop culture, which would arguably be a much better theme for a Zappa movie.
