Frank Zappa "Seal Call Fusion Music" w/ Vinnie Colaiuta & Tommy Mars @ Circus Krone 1978 

😂😂😂😂

He got the High Secret Seal of the Stonecutters, then...

punishing

Or, Klumed it.

give this guy a medal !

Vinnie "sealed" his reputation, get it? I know, that was bad 😌

1:37

Frank cuts him off right when he really starts grooving...jerk

i've replayed that groove so many times. vinnie is a wizard

I was thinking that as well. And the sound of his snare? Just freaking amazing.

@@chrisdiel706 right?? It's insanely good!!!

Personally we do not care about the opinion of people 😈😉😉

On top of that Zappa's music was too hard to perform while high so doing drugs while touring with Zappa was out of the question

@@leviollerton7830 Frank had a strict rule against drugs for his band members but he had to fire a few people over the years for violating it.

Drugs or no drugs its still terrible unlistinable shit.

@@electriceyeswatching4415 Only to you.

Vinnie literally takes a puff of something at 2:24

@@seanm.9942 It's a cig asshole!

I think I read somewhere that Frank though Vinnie was the only drummer who understood what he was doing. You can really see it here

@@fraser46 Yep, and I read a similar comment he made about Vinnie. It's not a contest, but in my book, Vinnie took over the title of World's Greatest Drummer when Buddy Rich died.

don't think zappa smoke or drank, no?

Vinnie is....

@@crieverytim Zappa didnt do drugs and would kick people out if he caught them high

@@jangobango2847 did he?

Frank demanded excellence and wouldn't put up with anyone doing drugs on stage....

There is a video of Frank conducting a whole audience the same way...

Yeah Weckl is a no-nonsense guy

Seals aint precise enough for Mr Weckl

I agree, Dave is awesome, but he just not as twisted as Vinnie.

How right u r

How do you humm this? 😂

Vinnie's not so totally up himself he can't join in with the other boys and goof off once in while!!!

If you can’t see how much of a manipulative narcissist frank zappa was just by this video, you’re not looking for it.

@@TheColbles2009 I guess so, just by the look of him, they do it all more or less, and that's how it goes in that industry

ColbyG Are you on fucking meth

@@TheColbles2009 Honestly, I did give that some thought, and I don't see that. He's absolutely not manipulative about his demand for a seal call solo - that would be if he told Vinnie that doing seal calls would make him a better drummer, that it was in his (Vinnie's) own interest somehow to make weird animal noises. What he does is the straightest imaginable way, "do a solo with seal calls". 0% manipulation there. Narcissistic - I think a narcissist naturally makes everything about himself and social status, so that "act like an animal" would automatically be a humiliation, meant to increase his own status, while creating a boundary from the person on the receiving end. That doesn't seem to be the case. Vinnie certainly didn't see it as humiliating, in fact he clearly sees it as a musical challenge. Frank doesn't act as if on a higher level there whatsoever - he joins in, becomes part of the seal call performance with his smoke show - while calling his own part "really cheap". IMO, joining in on the side of the lower status person is absolutely not what narcissists do in a humiliation situation. Anything I'm missing? I think the confusion comes from the fact that Zappa was definitely a controlling, demanding person, and that he wasn't shy of conflict whatsoever - but if you look at it closely, you'll be hard-pressed to find just one example where his demands or a conflict involving him was about status, "putting someone in their right place", overcoming his own insecurities by means of self-enlargement, as would be typical for a narcissist. With him, conflicts were almost exclusively about something that he clearly considered to be infinitely more valuable than himself, or anyone else: I think he truly didn't give a rat's anus about what anyone thought of him, as long as he could keep doing music.

Simon Loveland would it?

I guess you think it’s funny..really?.

Bless your mother.

I noticed the Stuff shirt!! They’re a cool band.

Steve Gadd’s great

In france!!

just rehersals . . .

He was a fan and just enjoyed getting the best musicians in the world and making them do hilarious and at the same time amazing shit, and he didn't give a fuck what the status quo thought. But he was also a master engineer, and master tinkerer, a master musical theorist, and sometimes played some of the best and most sick sounding electric guitar ever recorded. If Frank is playing a guitar solo it is instantly recognisable, and it sounds absolutely massive.

@Bread& Butter .... That ram it up the poop chute shit is for people like you that take music to fucken seriously.... He basically used that comedy music to pay for the serious music that he really wanted to play that nobody wants to hear... Like his sinclavier music or the yellow shark orchestra music... Then again, I like Coltrane so what the fuck do I know?...

Why people suggest One Size Fits All to Zappa beginners I just do not know, but really give Weasels a good few listens, and the Mike Brecker version of Black Napkins off of You Can’t ...vol 6.

What's sad?
