Lust For Life

 Netherlands

Music magazine Lust For Life used to be called Revolver Magazine and has connections with the earlier magazine Aloha. When Aloha was merged with Oor magazine in 2005, its founder and former editor-in-chief Tjerk Lammers decided to create a new magazine, named Revolver after The Beatles' best album. Revolver started in December 2005 and 36 issues were published util mid-2010. Under the new name Lust For Life, the first edition came out in June 2010. The cover of the first 51 magazine issues still featured the predecessor name as Revolver's Lust For Life

No. 8

Fanatieke monnik met dubbele moraal (Fanatical monk with double standards)
By Edwin Ammerlaan, pp 50-55
Frank Zappa. The Torture Never Stops DVD
By Edwin Ammerlaan, p 96


Automatic translation: He would have turned seventy last December. Frank Zappa, groundbreaking and controversial in music, still appeals to the imagination. Yet the person behind the artist remains shrouded in mystery, because as fierce as he was in expressing his political and artistic vision, Zappa was just as reserved in talking about his private life. Lust For Life put the few puzzle pieces together and discovered an image of a lonely genius who kept his emotions to himself. Because he couldn't do otherwise.

No. 24

De erfenis van een genie (The legacy of a genius)
By Robert Haagsma, pp 20-27


Automatic translation: Frank Zappa was an extraordinarily prolific musician. We will be reminded of this in the second half of this year when the most important part of his oeuvre is re-released: no less than sixty CDs in six months. The campaign is led by widow Gail Zappa, who is both admired and hated by the Zappa adepts. "The integrity of his work is the only thing that matters to me."

No. 74

Op tournee met papa Zappa (On tour with daddy Zappa)
By ?, pp 36-38


Automatic translation: You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore is the title of a series of live albums by Frank Zappa that perfectly sums up how fantastic his concerts were. Unfortunately, you can also take those seven words literally, because the genius moustache has not been alive for almost 24 years. However, his son Dweezil and Zappa alumnus Robert Martin continued to play Frank's music with their separate projects. Lust For Life presents tour memories from two different perspectives: the little boy who watched his father perform from the side of the stage and the band member who once took a huge risk by raising his middle finger to the master during a show.

No. 108

Van muzikant tot cultureel activist (From musician to cultural activist)
By Chris van Oostrom, pp 44-46


Automatic translation: Musical genius, razor-sharp satirist, incorrigible vinegar pisser, thorn in the side of everything repressive and conservative – Frank Zappa remained a controversial personality until his death in 1993. Alex Winter, better known as an actor from his Excellent Adventures with buddy Keanu Reeves, made a fascinating documentary about the phenomenon. A conversation with the director about an artist in whom the buffoon was sometimes at odds with the serious composer.

Een idioot en een lichtkogel (An idiot and a flare)
By Robert Hoogsma, pp 36-39


Automatic translation: Frank Zappa & The Mothers' 1971 European tour seemed to be cursed. It took the American musician almost a year to recover somewhat from injuries he sustained during a concert in London, but it could have been much worse. On the occasion of the recently released box The Mothers 1971, a look back at a disastrous December.

No. 142

70 essentiële albums van de jaren 70 (70 Essential Albums of the 70s)
pp 16-29


p 26 Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III
Automatic translation: Everything that made Frank Zappa such a disruptive artist comes together in the triptych Joe's Garage, which was originally released in two parts. It is designed as a rock opera with the narrative computer voice of the "Central Scrutinizer" as a connecting factor. With a colorful procession of musical styles as a backdrop, Zappa takes us along familiar themes such as religion, freedom of speech and sex. [Robert Haagsma]

No. 144

'Niets was hem te gek' ('Nothing was too crazy for him')
By ?, pp 16-23


Automatic translation: If a fiftieth anniversary of one album in the colossal Zappa oeuvre gives reason to pay extensive attention to the moustachioed genius, it is that of Apostrophe (') His best-selling record will soon be released as a Super Deluxe Edition. Lust For Life spoke to several people involved (son Ahmet Zappa, vaultmeister Joe Travers, technician Sherman Barry Keene, artist Calvin Schenkel) about the versatile musician and composer: "His words are more relevant than ever".
