The interviewer has no idea that Zappa is fucking with him a bit about the "vibe". "I'm very conscious of the vibe...the vibe is so vital" . Yeah, that's what he thinks.

This is an excellent interview. And it's so nice to see how Frank, about halfway through, realizes that this guy is actually all right and not out to make fun of him. The ice immediately melts and the rest of the interview is very warm and friendly. That wasn't always the case!

The host is not a dipstick Frankie is digging that guy ... Great interview .. He asked all the questions Frankie wanted to hear

Not just the smartest man in rock and roll, the most intelligent too.

You never saw Frank laugh much in interviews. I appears he likes Billy. Good stuff.

Frank Zappa is brilliant ...

"you're able to feel a little wiser now at 36?" "definitely, really smart now" LOL

Great interview! If you look at any interview with Frank, you'll notice how he sort of "tests" the interviewer first to see where they stand. I would say that his first responses to questions are sarcastic, but it's really more like comedic contempt. Anyway, it seems like if the interviewer can make him laugh, then they're "in", and he relaxes and becomes very charming and interested. And I think that's exactly what this interviewer does: He asks good questions, with a sense of humour. Great!

The day after he turned 36. Unbelievable... what did he have, like 15 years left? A brilliant man taken much to early.

what a splendid interview by two gentlemen....refreshing.

I miss Mr. Zappa.

Dec. 4th, 1993 sucked, the worst. Thank goodness he put music forth at a prolific rate. Almost like he knew his time was limited. Damned Burnt Weenie Sandwiches...

Good Interviewer, very sincere guy... seems like he's enjoying talking to FZ. Thanks for the upload....

"How's your hearing?" "Huh?"

Man Will Ferrell has aged well over the years...

Note how he looks directly into the interviewer whenever the interviewer is speaking. That did get to you. Love this one.

Bill Boggs was a great interviewer. I've checked out some more of his interviews on youtube and he always comes across as knowing his subject well and as a true fan of music.

This is gold.

People get Frank's views on drugs totally wrong. He's not anti drug. He's anti drug for himself and anything that effects him personally. That is totally reasonable. Noone wants a junkie in their band fucking things up on multiple levels.

Is the interview done by will ferrel

Love Frank. Bill Boggs is a solid interviewer.

It's all good, body language perpetuating all the right signals, voices at an 'agreeable' phonetic. And a common interest between the two. The interviewer seems real nice, Zappa is Zappa of course, you have to be on a higher level to chat with him i think. Great post! Thanx!

Good interview, Frank seems very comfortable talking to him.

zappa seems to always make the interview his own.

One of the comments below accuses the host of being a "dipstick", well I disagree. You can see Frank relaxing and just having a good time mainly because the interviewer isn't a total dickhead and actually treats Frank with the respect he deserves. This guy's a saint compared to some of the know-nothing arseholes that have "interviewed" Frank over the years.

wow...he was about to make the finest zappa album...zappa in new york! great interview...the host gets it, i think.

"I have been to very many discotheques..." Frank, you're the best.

that was a very good interview that guy was real polite good stuff.

Really like this interview. Frank seemed happy to oblige all of Bill's questions, even the more dubious ones that he was probably required to ask. Great stuff!

Precisely what I'd noticed.. in fact, I was all set for an *other* uncomfortable interview with clueless interviewers. This host was, as you say, all right..

Great Interview. Glad I stumbled across this. Thanks for uploading :)

The interviewer is using a keyword approach to formulating his series of questions, which gets him to asking sillier and sillier ones as the interview progresses.

I think Zappa is having a good time in this interview.

Zappa rocks every single interview :D

Oh...and I totally love Frank Zappa

Great interview

"..it was the attack of the bass.." lol xD

Great Interviewer.

Really wish i could have seen him play live it must have been amazing, shame he died when i was 2

Another good one.

Zappa having fun. 36. Bloody hell.

Great smile !. how can you not laugh with him.

RIP Frank. I wish he were still here to provide commentary on today's world.

I'm almost positive this is not Will Ferrells father...

Thanks That was a big long smile maker KPM

Love you Frank.

The performances Frank alludes to were released as "Zappa In New York." If you haven't heard it, I don't know what you're doing with your life.

the host should've said Happy Birthday for christ sake.

i love that version of i am the slime that don sings on :D

Zappa was right. Disco became different. It wasn't music anymore. By the late 70a, people started to hate it. So, disco died. He did forsee its demise.

"There is no music going on or any dancing with disco. It fulfills its function, it makes lonely people get together." It still is up to this day. All of that swag and yolo bullshit. That's what it is. Many people embrace misery.

Zappa fantastico!!!!!!!!!

How freaking amazing is (was) this man?

what a good guy

so i'm not the only one who thought of Will Ferrell then? it's quite uncanny. Frank is so funny. i'm in fits of laughter every time i watch an interview with him.

Frank Zappa interviewed by Ron Burgundy. lol

that's right... how we'd need men like Frank nowadays..

You figured that out? Pure genius. Totally.

Actually for frank, broadway was really only 8 years away.

Must be great to be 36.That was really nice.

Frank Zappa speaks softly, I don't think I've ever heard him raise his voice, not in interviews.

Bill Boggs produced the "Dumb All Over" broadcast.

Yeah

Originally,Warner brothers released it without his consent.

There is someone like him in Saudi Arabia

"...because the VIBE is so vital (sly grin). " He's totally making fun of him.

I'm surprised at the comments here. This was actually a very good interview. Mr. Boggs is very engaging with Frank, perhaps a bit naive, but remember he has to cater to his audience too. He asks Zappa some good questions, and as a result, gets very interesting answers.

I think its funny that his has a cigarette in the interview. If somebody went on late night with a cig, that would make headlines in tabloids everywhere.

For a second there I thought it was Will Ferrell conducting the interview.

This is so funny

vital

Sounds like him, too.

"I introduced you by saying you had a lot to do with introducing theatrics into rock and rock" Frank reply, "This is it!" That sums up the whole interview. Frank was amazing at sliding in genius ridicule without people seeing it.

holy crap thats what i was goonna...

Must be great to be 36.

Zappa was the man. At least we have Al jourgenson, And of course Gibby from the surfers. And lest we forget GG Allin

interviewing pro

This guy should be interviewing children.

And sounds like him. It must be him XD.

I'ts at right about 4:19

It's weird how he interviewer looks and sounds like will Ferrell

He doesn't use drugs ... except for nicotine and caffeine. I wonder if he used a drug called alcohol. At the end, Frank mentions Don Pardo who recently died (August 2014). RIP Don (and Frank).

Actually, he tried some and didn't like it and therefore stayed off of them.

the interviewer is "looks like" Will Ferrell's father...and that is my intellectual property...thank you. If a movie is to be made based on this interview...Yay! I will take 100,000 United States of America dollars and a quesadilla from taco bell....and SOLD!

Is that guy trying to sell Frank on disco? lol

YA gotta wonder what the ONE person in over 26K people, that don't like FZ listens to..Hmm

3:07 Damn Frank, you have cocaine in your mustache..

I disagree with Frank on this one... I love disco. and I love Zappa`s music. disco is so full of energy!

speakin bout vibes s s ssss ss

No similarities whatsoever? Oh well...

This is hilarious. This interviewer has no clue who he is. Frank is very gentlemanly in not doing what Frank can do.

This is hilarious. I feel sorry for the poor interviewer. He's no match.

this host sounds possessed by some evil entity

I hope this interviewer is NOT working anymore! he has no clue!

Great interview
