** After having a bad falling out with Music/WildManFischer, which led to an incident where Fischer allegedly threw a bottle that nearly hit a then-newborn Moon Zappa (Fischer himself denied this claim), Frank would refuse to ever reissue the album ''An Evening with Wild Man Fischer'' again, which he produced and owned the rights to. Even after Frank's death it was one of his only involved records that never got reprinted, at least until 2016, when the rights were purchased by Gonzo Records.

* FatalMethodActing: In December 1971, during an encore at the Rainbow Theater in London, Frank was pushed into to the orchestra pit by an audience member. His own band members thought he died. Frank substained head trauma, fractures, and injuries to his back, leg, & neck. It also resulted in a crushed larynx, which caused Zappa's voice to drop a third after healing. This happened just days after "some stupid" shot a flare onto the stage during a show at Montreux in Switzerland. It destroyed the Mothers' equipment and burnt the neighboring casino to the ground. This event was immortalized by Music/DeepPurple on [[Music/MachineHeadAlbum ''Smoke on the Water'']].

The Rainbow Theater show was eventually released on ''The Mothers 1971'' boxset and you can hear the audio of Frank being pushed into the pit.

** Sheesh...be thankful that he lived as long as he did - an on-stage accident at the Rainbow Theatre in London in 1971 could easily have killed him. Even though it didn't, his injuries were serious enough to keep him in a wheelchair and off the road for six months; it also lowered his vocal range by a third.
