Jarvis Cocker got his vocal style from Walker , Both Legends ❤

😢he is missed, so is his music and persona.

He was so humble and yet such an incredible voice.

Legend

I bet the so called singers in the audience wont be remembered like this great legend scott walker

I thought they were friends on the phone before that, but seems i was wrong.

MTV caters more to the pop crowd, but at least radio is still a good format for hard rock music.

Scott walker was a huge talent

So much worse now (2023). “Rock bands” literally cannot play a show if their computers fail or are stolen. That is not rock and roll, or maybe any kind of live musical performance.

If only Frank had quit smoking and gotten a second medical opinion on his prostate, he would have lived long enough to see the eventual total irrelevance of MTV. When he stated this, MTV was at or near its peak, but even the greatest empires have an expiration date, and MTV reached its own about 10 years after he died. I remember the first time I signed up to have cable tv installed in my house, primarily for MTV in the late 80s and now how I may watch maybe 15 minutes a year at most if I'm switching channels and I stumble across an old episode of Jackass or Ridiculousness, of which you can only laugh at some poor dude getting hit in the genitals so many times. Honestly, I think the only reason the channel exists is because of the brand name, but content wise, it the complete opposite. How they remain profitable is a mystery to me. I Wille even venture to state MTV contributes to the obesity problem in this country.

4:00 touring

What he talks about, is the reason I've always demanded my bands to record 'live', no overdubbs, and yes with the mistakes (we are humans)! It was a concern about honesty, and about what you could actually perform live! So, all records I've participated in, are recorded live! Probably a commercial suicide, but, nontheless, honest! Thank you Frank, you are missed!

I love Frank, but as a 54 year old, I've scoured his interviews for decades and noticed that he always mentions "midgets and looks", which makes me wonder...what in the hell did he have against "Men without Hats" and the Safety Dance?

Unique voice & talent

Spot on.

If the man could have only lived to see UA-cam

I love is shyness , love Scott walker! Joanna loves Scott again forever ❤

„Hi David, this is Scott Walker. I’m coming to you via a very crappy old hand-held tape machine so, I hope it’s all right. I’m gonna be a devil today and not ask you any questions. I’m certain that among the many messages, there will be those about how you always embrace the new and how you freed so many artists, and this is of course true. Like everyone else, I’d like to thank you for all the years, and especially for your generosity of spirit when it comes to other artists. I’ve been a beneficiary on more than one occasion, let me tell you. So have a wonderful birthday. And by the way, mine’s the day after yours, so I’ll have a drink to you on the other side of midnight. How’s that?“ Moved by this beautiful message, Bowie responded: „That’s amazing... Oh, I see God in the window. He really got me down I’m afraid. I think he’s probably been my idol since I was a kid. That’s very moving. I want a copy of that. I’m absolutely… That’s really thrown me. Thank you very much.“

Unbelievable what a way to accept. Beautiful speaking voice also, Scott looked so embarrassed but he deserved it. Go Scott!! Love as always Arlene xxxxxxxxx ❤

ZAPPA IS KING, who's elvis

Ain't it the truth

Imagine what he’d think of the state of music now. There’s not even a chart anymore. Everything’s determined by downloads. The biggest piece of shit for music is a masterpiece if a million people download it

Funny that his kids were VJs on MTV.

Shit zappa was a boring clown

We miss you dearly, Frank. You'd be even more appalled at the garbage being shoved down our throats now-especially some of the people recording and producing it. The looks aspect has only become more prominent, sadly.

the Grammy nominations are determined by massive sales, not the quality of the music.

Bowie@50 That was just yday. How it’s possible I’ve never heard this before I don’t know. But how fantastic I can hear it now, thanks to youtube brilliance many thanks to pianobanter. In the zillion times Bowie blew me away not 1 time he himself was blown away [ ofcuz!] but this time he is, he was and it’s just beautiful beyond beautiful. thX

Iain Lee, already planning his patter-theft.

He was so humble Rest Easy...😪

But Frank Zappa is right what he says, M.T.V music videos took away the performance from the music artist. Also another way of saying it. M.T.V music videos got too baywatchy.

The reaction of David Bowie is as always. David is just a normal guy. He stayed Normal.

All that snark, sarcasm and typically awful British set design. No wonder he received the award and left the stage.

A very modest and talented man with a unique and unforgettable voice. Respect to Scott Walker for rejecting pop culture to pursue his dreams!

So sad he died 4 days before my birthday

RIP.

That was a sad day. He was one of a kind.

Scott seems to be a very sweet, humble almost shy man. A wonderful talent much missed. 😢

In a sane world not peopled in the majority by morons , F wits and venal scumbag monsters , that might have been possible

I'll get interested in music videos the day I start going to art galleries to hear paintings...

I've said this a hundred times and I'll continue to say it: Simon Cowell killed real music. Steve Jobs dug the grave with iTunes. NuMetal and hip-hop put its corpse in, and DJs pissed on it before reality TV, the new incarnation of MTV, and cult-of-personality celebrities took over and filled that grave with sand to seal its fate and, finally, the hoard of zombies that were their listeners put up the tombstone. Only one word is carved onto it: “Meh.”

I am the slime from ur Video..

Just an idea - what if someone linked this video to a "World Premiere of Beyonce's (or Lady Gaga, etc) newest song" like a "Rick-roll" but only more educational & enlightening... In other words, they'd click on to view the premiere vid but instead get an earful of FZ's wisdom

it took 2 secs for my brain to process "vice president" im still not quite sure thats what i heard

I enjoy hearing Frank talk as much as listening to his music. And I really like his music.

So insightful of how the record industry has devolved over time.

Coolest person in the advert.......I think you know who that is.😎

He wasn’t kidding. Ad remembered from the late 80’s: “Do you look like a rockstar? Join our team! No talent needed!” This was for advertising purposes, of course, but then, looks are everything and they wouldn’t even think of hiring any actual artists.

Peace, and love

"Aye, Cosmik Debris is fuckin' BRILLIANT, for fuck's sake"

tell that to bands like opeth, radiohead and countless other bands who perform perfectly what they recorded because that is how they hear it.
