His music could have been nicer and listenable if he had removed all these fancy useless noises he used to put everywhere.

A musicologist told me that Zappa did actually pay other guitarists to do most of his parts on his albums and that anyway he made only a few appearances on stage. Only crazy fans could say he really had any guitar skills.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Wow, It is perfectly clear that none of you assholes actually know anything about Frank Zappa or his music. He was not into drugs, in fact he was very big on anti-drugs. He actually fired a band member for using drugs. Also he was not like Weird Al at all. He did not do parodys of songs he actually wrote is own music which was very complex. Guitar was one of his best albums. The whole thing about him eating crap was made up and his son's name is Dweezil not weasel. I am pretty sure that none of you guys listen to his music. Wow. Shit. Fuck you all.
