Very unfortunate how the tape cuts off just as he’s about to give his opinion about John McLaughlin. Was it intentional?

It’s not a big deal, but the interviewer apparently didn’t get the correct information regarding the departure of Steely Dan’s original frontman. As everyone knows it didn’t hold them back one bit.

At 14:30 the interviewer asks an interesting question regarding his tech interests, he answered that he was in touch with people who were involved with digital processing of audio and Frank financed the construction of unique devices that do things he always wanted to hear . All this in 1973 ! Frank Zappa was a true genius and this is an example of why . Great interview and interviewer .

I doubt it. It's possible, but it would've been a tight corner as Zappa died in late 1993. I think I had just heard Tool around November or December, and only because I was working at a record store and got an advance copy to play. "Opiate", I think it was. Obviously, Tool had heard a lot from Frank, but I don't think Zappa had the time left to return the favor.

“ a person woud be a moron not to appreciate McLaughlin's technique. The guy has certainly found out how to operate a guitar as if it were a machine gun. But I'm not always enthusiastic about the lines I hear or the ways in which they're used. I don't think you can fault him, though, for the amount of time and effort it must have taken to play an instrument that fast. I think anybody who can play that fast is just wonderful. And I'm sure 90% of teenage America would agree, since the whole trend in the business has been "faster is better."

@famednacclaimed5336 what an egotistical arse! I guess Mclaughlin was good enough for Miles Davis.
