globalia.net/do...
These executives have plooked the fuck out of me
And there's still a long time to go before I've
Paid my debt to society
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar 'n bend the string like
Reent-toont-teent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee
I've got it
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy . . .
Well, I guess that one did the trick
If they only coulda heard it
Half-a-dozen of 'em woulda strangled
While they was suckin' on each other's dick
But that was only a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day
That's okay
I'll be gettin' outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin' room
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Outside now . . .

For some reason, Ike Willis' voice is just mesmerizing to me - always has been. Outside Now is hypnotic. And then Ike completely shreds on that solo. I could watch this 10 times in a row and never get bored with it. Just beautiful.

@TimZuellig 2 года назад

I completely agree. Something about Ike's voice is just... mesmerizing. Always felt this way. I didn't know he could shred like that, either. What an amazing composition, performed flawlessly.

@michaelfadian 5 лет назад

This is heavy. Intense emotion going on here for obvious reasons. Ike's playing like it's the last thing he' ever going to play. And his ability to purposely mimic Zappa's solo style is unbelievable.. I knew he was a good guitar player, but jesus. Also cool to hear Wackerman letting loose a little more than other times with the polyrhythms. Similar to how Vinnie played it.

Wow that trombone solo by Bruce Fowler completely boggles my mind every time I see it; I*'m like, what? I've never heard that instrument do anything like that. He showed his love for Frank by becoming so vulnerable, they all did, but Fowler, as usual is the man.

@ijustgottasaythis 2 года назад

You are so right! I was tearing up at the lamenting type of trombone sounds...sounded like it was crying for Frank himself. I never appreciated the mellowness of this instrument. Always only thought trombone, was for Sachmo or parades, or Dixieland or a football game band...incredible!

@Meestermeester899 10 лет назад

@volpeverde6441 11 месяцев назад

@jamescerone shredding is an awful bloody noise....guitarists seeing how fast they can play a million billion notes.... ZAPPA was the EXACT OPPOSITE....he would SACRIFICE SPEED to ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING ON THE GUITAR....FRANK could make a big noise along with the rest of em....but it was too classical and tuneful to be called SHREDDING.... I've got 50 odd bootlegs and he's played some very weird shit....in some very weird tempos.... but never once have i heard any....'SHREDDING'.... ZAPPA was NOT death metal.... NOT ZAPPA, Ike, Ray, Denny, Adrian, Mike..... even Stevie's 'stunt guitar'.....came close to that clichéd crap....

Frank chose Ike to sing lead vocals. And he became the voice on many later tracks. I wasn't so sure I liked the fact Franks voice was replaced by Ike at first, but I soon realised why. Pitch perfect, total understanding of the lyrics, best man for the job. Also loved him and Ray singing Franks snipes at racism.

Greed maybe?

@arekhautaluoma4276 4 года назад

@@jglasernyc More than greed, I think it's some delusional attachment to preserving his memory/'legacy' (something which Zappa spoke about not caring about), but in a way that ends up being overprotectionist and self-serving. At least that's how I view how Gail used to act, and how Ahmet currently acts towards Dweezil. The hologram tour that Ahmet tried to sideline Dweezil with had some great personnel, but was an overhyped capitalized push by Ahmet, all while Ahmet held legal repercussions over Dweezil for touring under the Zappa name. All very bizarre, and not in the good way.

Ike Willis, and Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ruth, George, these folks are as much "Zappa" as Frank himself. Without Ike there is no Joes' Garage. He's amazing. I'd be happy if I could just sing like that and he can rock the guitar, he's a double edge sword.

Even though you wrote that comment about the trombone 9 years ago, you are so right, nice. The trombone can be so sad, from I just choked up from 6:03 on. I never realized how much I missed Frank Zappa, about as much as those Men from Utopia. What would he be making now? Just good emotions here.

@blzbob7936 4 года назад

All of the gigs so soon after Franks passing would have been tough. They all knew the tunes (obviously) but their main man wasn't there. Ike stepped up and performed Franks tunes brilliantly, even vamping Franks guitar style to make every performance a Frank Zappa experience. The big man is still carrying Franks torch. Can't wait to see him in Liverpool in October 2019, to thank him for keeping Franks material alive.
