Frank Zappa - His Unmarked Grave, Where He Died and MORE!!! 4K 

My Dad went to school with Frank in Antelope Valley High..I have 2 yearbooks with Frank in it, including an inscription to my father....Frank was ahead of his time and a talented musician.

I have chills. I love Zappa. He’s one of those people you cannot imagine dead because he was so awesome. He’s still alive to me!

Great Googly Moogly, I adore Zappa! Thanks for the video.

Love Frank and thanks for the update on the grave. I did read that Gaga sold the house silently to Mick Jagger's daughter not too long ago.

Zappa was a genius. Making music you love KNOWING that you are losing a bunch of money to create it, is just one example of a true artist that didn't create music for any other reason other than his love for it.

0;17 What. WHAT?! It NEVER rains in El Ay--just like 'Nobody Walks in L.A.' ... XD 8:08 Loved 'Sheik Yerbouti'. The ultimate Zappa concept album--for the title, and cover photo, alone! Luvvit. And thank you for sharing Zappa'a final resting place! Many channels haven't got it right. He was brilliant, and should be remembered for his contribution. 🙏 Not many know that Frank was a good friend of North Hollywood High School's band teacher, back in the day. In fact, Zappa used to live across the street from the school, whose mascot was...a HUSKY dog. Which gave him the inspiration to pen the lyric to a song mentioned in this video: '.. Don't go where the HUSKIES go, and don't you eat no YELLOW SNOW'. Source: NHHS graduate, circa 1973. 💥💥BOOM, bay-beh.

Frank gave me my start in the music biz. I owe him for eternity for that and his music. And he was a true genius.

To all the Zappa fans here: Don’t forget to come to the Zappanale festival in Bad Doberan Northern Germany this summer. In fact, every summer. It’s THE place to meet with thousands of Zappa fans and celebrate his music.

My uncle that passed away absolutely loved Frank Zappa and I remember as a young kid finding a stack of Frank Zappa CDs in a cabinet. It was everything ever released. Excited for this one. Feels weird to say I am excited for this one like its specific because I am literally excited for every video you guys ever post but you get what I mean

In 1979 in New York city at a bar called the city limits in the village I met Frank Zappa. Bars are super crowded and we had an extra seat. A guy ask if he could sit at our table and we said sure. I didn't recognize him his hair was cut but one of the guys with us did. Frank said he was with the band we had a deep conversation with him about UFO'S. He brought it up out of no where but never said he ever saw one. I saw a lot of famous people in New York city the three mouths I lived there on Governors Island.

Wow I forgot he was only 52 years old. Thanks for all of these great videos.

"A mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open." ~ Frank Zappa As of 2023, it'll be 30 years since he left us. Miss you, Frank!! ✌🏻😎🎶🎶🎶🎱

Incredible how much music he recorded in his career. Had a roommate in college that was heavily into Zappa. Definitely a unique artist.

When Frank trolled Tipper Gore was epic. His description of her Holier-than-thou delusional thoughts left her speechless.

i'm 57 and grew up in a small town in Canada, but let me tell ya we all new who Zappa was and played that Overnight Sensation album and new every word to every song on it!!!!

My dad loves Frank. It led me in the same direction. Frank deserves so much credit for his fight against censorship. He was such a cool dude imo.

Nevada came into the union on all hallows day in 1849.. i was on tour with the reno cacophony work truck. down the hill from the house. i drove up and parked, thinking about my hero.. moon unit came out and talked. i met dwezel with my truck in reno. we talked about my mother, his mom, his dad and mine, the band and beefheart... i went to see zappa does zappa. i left early, it was like being at a funeral... ghosts visit me... the musicians were great, just to emotional for me... THANK YOU !!!...rockettebob in reno

I got to visit what would be his "Joe's garage" studio that was pretty much all Carvin gear. Dwezil was a friend of Fabio who was friends of a friend of mine who I met through yet another friend of who built performance motorcycles. I was a touring roadie for 35+ years out of Nashville and L.A. He was very tech savvy and most humble. We all had lunch at Casa Vega and the female staff were so in to Fabio the rest of us were invisible...and Frank seemed to enjoy that. What a strange trip it's been....

The Vault.... that's the 20th Century equivalent of the Tomb of King Tut.

There was one night where we had a power failure - so no TV or electric guitar, video games etc. i dug out my old walkman and put on headphones and listened to frank zappa's "strictly commercial" CD and listened in the dark. just me and the music. One of the most memorable nights ever... !

I found a box of records in the trash when I was 9 (1975) About 30 albums there were 3 Zappa A beefheart an Every Jefferson Airplane and every Jethro Tull a few other goodies too ...that shaped my music tastes . I've loved Zappa ever since

He was very funny and smart. I would say that he was an intellectual. I have always felt that his kids also have a great sense of humour. That vault is amazing!

I have met Dweezil twice and he is a beautiful human being and he keeps his dad's legacy alive

I always thought he was a unique cool dude that loved music and playing it. It's sad he left us too soon as he had so much more to share with us. RIP Frank. 🎃

Excellent video on Frank 💯. As someone who was involved in the "Save The Vault" project, I can say that Joe Travers knows more than anyone on the complete contents of the vault and has done a tremendous job cataloging the videos, music, musical equipment etc. There's at least 100 yrs worth of unreleased material imo and from what Alex Winter has said when he did the Zappa Doco.✌

Can't believe it's been nearly thirty years since he died!! Thank you ghouls for covering Zappa. Excellent coverage ❣️ 🎃 Happy New Year!!!!

Thanks for doing this Michael....Always been a big Zappa fan and it's good to see him getting some respect.

I was a huge Zappa fan when I was in high school. Had all his albums up to that point in time, ALL in vinyl because that was the technology then. Yeah, I'm old. Tried to go see him and the Mothers of Invention in Indianapolis in concert at the time, but couldn't swing it with my parents. R.I.P. FZ.

RIP Frank Zappa! We sure could use your gift for speaking up for human rights at this time in history. 🎸💛

HEY, . MICHAEL AND JESSICA YAY. Thanks for doing this video on My favorite Freaky scary People Frank Zappa he will always Be Loved and missed

Much like you Micheal, my appreciation for Frank's work grew with age. His messages are as relevant today as they ever were. I hope everyone in the GLC has an amazing (and Grimm) new year. Grimm for Life!

Death will come for us all. Better to be remembered once than never at all.

I was lucky enough to meet chat and cocktail with FZappa in Reno in 1982. My girls Cathi I were watching the Band Sutro at a clubcalled Hearts on Fire .Frank came in alone after his show ,down the street at the Centennial Cola Serum. We did not go to theshow . He walked in and I asked him to join us . He did .he looked lonely but he became fast friends .He liked the band a lot, they were friends of ours ,and I waved them over on the break ,everybody wanted to meet my friend . He liked my line " Let ME be Frank"! we talked about music mostly. He was a very sweet intelligent man . Cathi and I got asked about it a few times . We had our pals from Sutro to back up our encounterr.He stayed about 2 hours and left unbelievable what a cool man . Please scrutenize.

Just like you as a child I really didn't appreciate Frank Zappa's music. Now as an adult I have a deep appreciation for it, not only his music but the man himself. What a great Patriot! I certainly don't want to give up my freedoms to a bunch of nincompoops and let them figure it out for me! Anyway great video I really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Like always thanks for taking us on the adventure.

I was at a Duran Duran concert in Vancouver B.C. the day Frank died and they did an amazing instrumental tribute and pictures on the big screen. It was obviously unrehearsed and was really a cool vibe and moment to be a part of. Love your channel as always!

Zappa put out so much music that it’s hard to consume. Years back I saw Dweezil do Zappa plays Zappa. By FAR the best and as close to Frank’s original production. My father grew up with Frank’s music, I play it today as it brings back fond memories of my growing up with my father. 👍

I am a huge Zappa fan! I inherited Zappa records from my uncle recently. Thanks for the video !

Zappa was a fascinating person, a true self-taught genius who created unique music. Sadly, he passed away at an all too early age.

I think whoever coined the phrase “ahead of his time”, they were speaking about Frank Zappa. The man was a genius and didn’t get the true credit he deserved while he was alive. Great video. Thank you Michael and Jessica

So glad I subscribed to, grimmlifecollective to get the notifications on super cool stories, like this one on, Frank Zappa! Also, it was fantastic to see, Dweezil Zappa, who is without question, a great legacy to his father!

Great episode! Frank's music has been a big part of my life for many years.

I had 3 encounters with FZ outside the Garrick in NYC in 67-68. Very pleasant fella to meet. He introduced me and 2 friends to Richie Havens and Al Cooper. Havens was a very nice fella!

Did not like Frank Zappa but can appreciate that lots of people loved him !! RIP Frank!

I was called "Zappa" in school because he was my big idol Like early Mothers the most. We miss him even here in Sweden...

The OG 'Freakout' reel was created on my aunt's birthday. So happy they have been able to upkeep these.

We used to listen to Joe's Garage everyday on the way to high school. RIP Frank.

'Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar' albums and 'Joe's Garage Act 1 - 3' album are probably my favourite Frank Zappa albums.

The mother of my best friend when I was a girl was Frank Zappa’s 1st cousin. I was told not to bring it up with her because he wasn’t her favorite person. He seems like he was a nice guy, but as a teenage cousin, he got into a little trouble. Apparently he was living with his Aunt & Uncle for awhile and my friends mom was told she had to take him with her to a friends birthday party. I guess he got bored and wanted to liven things up by creating a small bonfire, in the friends basement. There was no real damage to the house, but my friends mom lost a friend because of it. Starting a bonfire inside a strangers home is definitely not ok, but it was kind of wrong of the mom’s friend to be so hard on her because of something Frank did. Anyway whenever I think of Frank Zappa I think of bonfires.

So weird that you did this video! I've been out of the blue binging on Frank and Moon's song "Valley Girl" for many of days now!

My 8th grade Art/Guitar Teacher was a Huge Zappa Fan ,he always said he was A Monochromatic Artist who should be taught in all music and art classes since they're are one in the same,and Zappa got that.Great Video

Back in 1991 I bought “Does Humor Belong in Music” on VHS. I had never heard anything by him, but was interested. Blew me away.

I use to sneak behind the Detroit Cobo Hall now called Huntington Place in in the 70s to catch the bands getting out of the Limo before a concert and I met Frank Zappa. And many more ❤

LOVE FRANK ZAPPA and All His Music Stood For ! ! ! I've been listening to him since I found a cutout copy of FREAK OUT at the local Cincinnati Woolworths (Dime Store), in the mid 60's. THANK YOU Michael for Featuring the Genius of FZ in your Video. ...Newk from Kentucky 🎉

Frank Zappa was a great musician. I was a big fan and still am. His best album is "Apostraphe." It was neat seeing the vault. He has so much music and movies. Hopefully some of this will find a place in record stores and movie theaters, It just seems much of this will never see the light of day. This is a piece of history to see. It's wonderful.

I grew up listening to Frank. Thx 4 the tour

As a young teenager in the early 1970s, I was introduced to Frank Zappa‘s music by an older friend. Specifically, “ weasels ripped my flesh,” “ overnight sensation“ and “Apostrophe.” My mind was blown. Over the years, I was fortunate enough to see Zappa live many times. Never a bad show or lineup. I believe that, listening to Frank Zappa, not only made me a more adventurous, music, consumer, but also a smarter and better human being. Frank’s music definitely was not for everyone, mostly music nerds with open minds. Thanks for the education, Frank.😂

I have that CD of Zappa doing a live, Halloween performance in New York. LOVE ZAPPA....his quirkiness, his amazing talent. Michael, dude, you just keep popping out these amazing stories on video. You presented Zappa in this story so incredibly well

Zappa was Way before his time

Frank Zappa had a huge influence on my love of music. The first Frank Zappa album I bought was, "We're Only In It For The Money", by Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention.

Saw FZ at the Lehigh University 1980. There's an audio of the concert on RU-vid.

Very good choice of using Black Napkins as your background music. Camarillo Brillo is also a fave . Thanks for locating the Masters resting place. After his Vancouver gig we left quickly to beat the crowd and a limo pulled out in front of us in the lot, we recognized the schnoz in profile. We followed his limo to a non-descript Mexican place, Zappa went in. We did not go in because as Canadians and as a Catholic Girl, we wanted him to have his meal in peace. What would we say anyways other than, thanks Frank. Thanks Frank.

Thank you for that. Going out un that dreary weather for us. You rock!

Man was ahead of his time when it came to music. I got one of his albums when I was in junior high. loved it. I wish I new where all my vinyl went. Great tour. Thanks for sharing.💀💀

Loved this ..thanks yall. Awesome RIP Zappa. I'm from Baltimore Maryland too.

Awesome Video thanks so much for posting!!! I am a giant Frank Zappa fan which is part of the reason I’m a musician. I got to record with Ike from his band. Frank was a god. 🎸🎶

We have booked to come to L.A in September and that cemetery is on my bucket list

Lew Ayres also had a role in Salem’s Lot!

A 'Bobby Brown' reissue in the early 90s got me into Frank Zappa, but I was to discover he was so much more. His zero fucks given attitude and approach to music has made me a better musician and a better listener.

My buddy introduced me to Zappa with ‘Titties and Beer’ when I was in 8th grade. He sold him best saying, “Frank Zappa will improve your vocabulary”. 😊

The more complicated our lives become with age, the easier Zappa's music is to understand.

Thanks for sharing. My dad was a big Zappa fan. He passed away last March a day before his 69th birthday, so this video was special to me. Thanks. One time I was able to get tickets to see David Lynch's Inland Empire, at the Sydney Film Festival, & Mum wanted all of us to go as Sydney is a bit of a drive from where I live, & I cautioned Dad about how weird Lynch's work is, but he was game, because he then mentioned how weird & out there Zappa is. Thanks for sharing & Happy New Year!

I wasn't as aware of Frank Zappa before watching this tribute to him, he definitely seemed to be a one of a kind, I've looked at other videos of him since watching this and listening to some of the interesting music, I'd have to say he's definitely an inspiration to other musicians. Great video as always....

Thanks for doing this video it's very touching when people remember Frank he was an American treasure... ❤️

Thanks for doing Frank Zappa. He's still one of my favorites, and I've been blessed to have seen him live a few times. He was one-of-a-kind

A excellent view! He was one unique & amazing guitar player and artist. He did Valley girl with his Daughter Moon Unit a classic tune! She did the valley girl voice. Lol Epic Appreciate your efforts and quality content Mike & Jessica this was a blast from the past. Cheers!

I love you and the wife and now even more you are honoring one of my all time favorites, ZAPPA! on NEW YEARS EVE FANTASTIC

He was very loved in The Netherlands...just like his buddy Steve Vai who I will watch and listen to performing with an orchestra coming may 2023 in Eindhoven.

Because of my uncle Frank Zappa was some of my first memories of music with cool sounding guitar so I always had a liking for him even. The unmarked grave dose not surprise me such a zappa move probably to keep people away.

Poor man, so young, that’s scary as hell. He was misdiagnosed 😢I miss him

Another Grimmlife video that is both entertaining and informative.

Great video. Related to Zappa, a video on the history of Captain Beefheart and the recording of Trout Mask Replica would be awesome.

Happy New Year GrimmLife. Thanks for all the content!

My cousin exposed me to Zappa about twenty years ago. I would've have only known him for "Valley Girl". He was definitely a musician's musician and his work touched several genres. I need to go back to Westwood Memorial and see the unmarked grave. Roy Orbison is also buried in an unmarked grave there, somewhere in a corner. I've seen a video on it. Turns out his family just never got a marker.

I believe that house is on the same street where actor Frank Christi was murdered by hitmen in 1982. 6969 Woodrow Wilson Dr. was the address.

Excellent video. Fascinating to see the Zappa residence and unmarked grave. Much appreciated.

The Zoot Allures album is my favorite

I'm not a Frank Zappa fan myself, but I respect his work and the people who do like it. Thanks for another good video!

Another new video! Woohoo! Always enjoy y’all’s channel too!! Keep it up!!

This made me cry again.

Happy New Year 2023 from Finland Michael and Jessica!😍🥰

Thanks for the video! I was at the UMRK house last year and had read that week that one of Mick Jagger's daughters had bought the house from Gaga

I remember a poster that was made from a photo of him sitting on the toilet called "Zappa Crappa".

I needed this more than I thought. Zappa, we salute you. 👏

Top of the Morning, Grimmlifecollective 👻great video on Frank zappa. Always great to see ya. I wanted to also Congratulation you two, on your upcoming Movie. We are excited to go and see, and what a great cast. happy Halloween!!!

Great tribute to an amazing musician and a remarkable human being. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I never got to see Frank perform live, but I have been to many ‘Zappa Plays Zappa’ and subsequent Dweezil Zappa shows. The closest I’ve come a Frank performance was back in 2019, when ‘The Bizarre World of Frank Zappa’ came to Amsterdam. That was a great evening. Plus, I got to meet Ahmet there

I'm a huge Zappa fan. Have been since my Dad introduced me to him back in the early '80's. I remember when he passed, like yesterday...thank you, Michael.

1971 Portland Oregon, open floor standing, seating. I ended up standing directly in front of Frank Zappa. They performed the entire 200 Motels over the next near 2 hours. One of many many concerts I attended. The live playing of the Mothers was like standing in a multi layered tornado of notes.

Happy New Year to you and Jessica and thanks for making enjoyable content Regards from Sydney Australia

Love your channel. It's so cool. As a Brit, I love history, film, horror and of course the entertainment of seeing these places now in 2022. Keep up the great work guys

Frank has been my idol, inspiration and indirect motivator for 40 years. This was a tough video to watch but I thank you for making it.
