RDNZL (Pronounced: Re-DUN'-zel) was written in the early 1970s (probably 73-74) and was originally released on an unauthorised Warner Brothers album in 1978 called Studio Tan. It also appeared on You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Volumes: 2 and 5 as well as on numerous bootleg recordings. It has become a "classic" favourite of Zappa" fans" worldwide for its beautiful melodies, contrasting musical sections and his fire guitar solo Great composition by a great composer! Amazing to hear and to watch... (Tommy Mars on keys!!! the mad scientist! ) The name would be a contraction of redundant and Rapunzel, a nickname that Frank gave to his wife Gail! apparently she used to repeat herself a lot..
@@Grithron2I know that story too,but it's R( reverse) N( neutral) D( drive) S( sport mode) L ( low), and Zappa wasn't driving,so, in absence of concrete infos both are valid hypothesis! there is also Ruth Doesn't Need Zappa's Lyrics... with Frank Zappa everything is possible...
They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians But it don't make no difference If they're good musicians Because anybody who would buy this record Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians On it Because this is a stupid song AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
Great live version. The beginning was done at a much slower tempo than the original release and , of course, the bulk of it is spontaneous solos and back and forth.
Well, there's rehearsal tapes in circulation (like on the FZ-LoTR channel) which tend to confirm your worst fears. If he wasn't on the insane Beefheart/Jackson level of "bandleaders you'd rather not be working for", he was at least on a par with workaholic hard-taskmasters like Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Charles Mingus and Billy Ward.
One of my faves but please listen to the Studio Tan version, it makes far more sense. This is only notable for the fact the band can't see the audience and the massive fucking riot which is about to ensue 🤣
Great video Rory keep up great work keeping Franks memory alive I keep suggesting a full Joes Garage reaction because I would hate to see the songs split up and taken out of context Please do full Joes Garage
The Mann/Mars trade-offs are an unexpected highlight - or maybe not unexpected because they'd been bandmates years before. In case Rory doesn't know, the Aida Royal March was a standard "cue" in the 1980-82 era.
Have you listened to any Primus or other Les Claypool bands, or Phish , or Oysterhead which is LesClaypool , Trey Anastasio, and Stewart Coplan. Or maybe Screaming Headless Torsos, The Talking Heads , Can, Tool, System of A Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers , Brand X, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Rare Silk , Rollins Band, Return to Forever, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bella Flek , Billy Strings , oh and of course The Mother's of Invention , Brian Eno... That's it off the top of my head but these are all bands or artists of various genres that you might enjoy. I'll try and get a better list later
I know you do a lot of different artists. But you seem like you could really get into FZ. As well you should. (Zappa's music is nothing less than other-worldly!🙂). Might I suggest that you Google FZs song list and find the, "Album 1st Released On", breakdown. Many concert versions can be wildly different, instramentally, and the lyrics have morphed over time to incorporate more recent randomonium, in part to keep things interesting for the musicians. I think you'll really benefit from a deliberate approach, at least in your private listening. One caution though: Listening to Zappa a lot, and for an extended amount of time, can make mainstream artist's music sound boring and predictable! Ask me how I know.
