Dweezil has done more than any son has to honor his father's legacy and keep it alive for those of us who were too young when Frank passed
and those of us who saw the original and sorely missed hearing this music played live!
@@Peter-K true brother
Dweezil had a film of his Dad playing behind him on the first cuople of tours and he synched up his guitar with FZ. The effect was fabulous!
Dweezil is a true and rightful heir to the name "Zappa". I had the absolute joy of getting to see him several years back. It was one of the best concert performances I have ever seen. Top ten. Maybe top five. MAYBE top three. It was such a thrill to see him absolutely own his father's music.
You should find the guitar battle of Dweezil and Steve Vai. Phenomenal stuff.
And Dweezil is super cool too. Fun story: have a friend whose 13 year old son is a huge Zappa fan. He wrote Dweezil a letter, wanting to go to the show, but it was an adult's only venue as they served beer. Dweezil invited him to come to the rehearsal for the show, and then let him stay to see the show anyway too.
Dweezil's band, which included many former Zappa musician's, was every bit as tight as any of father Zappa's bands.
Awesome to see someone reviewing Dweezil! Blessings!
Great to see that Zappa is just as awesome as Zappa!
Good old Napoleon Murphy Brock. What a genius.
That is Frank's SG Dweez is playing by the way. Saw this tour when it came to Phoenix. Napoleon Murphy Brock on vocals, flute & sax, with special guest Steve Vai & Terry Bozzio. Amazing stuff. They had just filmed this show (in Washington I believe) the night before. ✌
Back in 07’ didn’t get the chance in Portland, Or., and then they played Seattle next. I truly regret.
Knew it! Thanks for watching!
We were lucky enough to have “The world famous Ray White” in Melbourne Australia. I was blown away.👍
My wife and were at the same show. My wife’s not into Frank but she likes Dweezil and I turned her into a huge Bozzio fan. She was kinda devastated about Terry’s injured arm that night but luckily we’ve seen him perform twice since then both arms working. 😃. (Once his solo performance and once with UK reunion)
Also see Mike Keneally's 2003 solo acoustic version of this song. And off course the original with the real Ruth Underwood on electric marimba and George Duke on keyboards and lead vocals.
Imagine Frank hunched at his desk in his basement studio for hours on end, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and composing every single note of this onto paper for a variety of instruments and vocalists.
Mind blowing!
Very good, but shame you didn't watch the 1974 KCET Hollywood live rendition, Ruth Underwood is legendary.😢
Maybe someone will request the video of Florentine Pogen from the 77 shows, she went off on that one too!
@@Peter-K Ruth in 1977? Prolly unlikely...
I think you mean 1974 @ KCET studios.
@@gnesteck3276 you are correct sir, had a minor era error, must be getting old.
@@Peter-K Getting older w FZ is OK
Not really gaining much exposure on this song is the utterly phenomenal multi instrumentalist/vocalist Scheila Gonzalez. Try to chase down more of her work if you can, she's astounding.
I was thinking the same thing. She's multi-instrumental and can sing and improvise.
Yeah man, she was great when I saw them open for Return to Forever. She just killed it.
Absolutely. Her solo on Eat that Question from the same set is outstanding.
Thanks Rossa!
I've seen ZPZ 4 times and the line-ups over the last 5 years have been outstanding. He always finds great musicians
“Some of you might have read a book called ‘Chariots of the Gods’ by Erich von Daniken.” - Frank Zappa during his introduction to Inca Roads in Roxy the Movie.
Interesting!
I saw Zappa Plays Zappa when they opened up for Return to Forever at the Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie Tx back in Sep 2011. It was a night of musical bliss.
Hi guys, Yes that's the one and only Napoleon Murphy Brock singing. So Happy your giving Dweezil much love. Thanks. Hope your well too!
I was fortunate enough to be at that show and it was still pretty early on in ZPZ. I've seen all of their LA shows, with the exception of one year when I just couldn't make it, (their shows at the Roxy in honor of the anniversary of his dad playing there were the best, IMO). While Dweezil's playing is terrific in this video, he has continued to grow and get even better and I highly suggest catching them live if they end up heading back out on the road again. His unconventional playing in this is something he had to teach himself, as he was a very structured player prior to forming the ZPZ endeavor. It's his attempt to, stylistically, match Frank's playing, which was also very unconventional, (the best ones always are, right?). He famously describes it as, "the chicken and spider", where Frank's left hand was like a spider crawling over the frets and his right hand was like a chicken pecking at feed. While I don't think it entirely encapsulates all of Frank's playing, I think it's a hell of a great descriptor to start one down the road of how he functioned stylistically.
Definitely an awesome start.😆Love the animal comparison!
I flew down from SF for the Roxy anniversary show. Got to shake Dweezil's hand and tell him how me and my friend Andy used to lie around his bedsit in Dublin when we were really young just absolutely devouring all the Frank we could afford and find, and that his dad meant more to us than we could ever express. What a show that was. Whoever was drumming that night was unreal.
The last concert I went to before covid shut everything down was Dweezil. He did the entire Hot Rats album (and more Hot stuff). Go see him when he comes to NYC. Unfortunately we can't see Frank anymore but Dweezil is as close as it comes. BTW, the woman in the band is an incredible musician and plays like 5 instruments. She also does a great impersonation of Eric Cartmen.
Thanks for the info and support!
Dweezil went from the typical Van Halen inspired shredder as a teenager to fully embracing his dad's unique guitar style. Quite the metamorphosis.
If Frank were still alive, he would make even Dweezil earn a place in his band, through an audition as bonkers as the one Steve Vai had to undergo . . . and Dweezil would have earned that place in the band. He does his daddy proud!
We totally agree!
This has nothing on the original version and the Best Band live album version is absolutely phenomenal. This simply does not have the same energy!
Thanks for watching!
Napoleon is a natural, not trained or only by himself - Now listen to the original and be blown away. Frank played beyond the bars. Sifa's smiles would have been much more expressive!
What a natural he is!
And still you never hear Dweezils name in any of the guitar polls. The man is simply amazing.
You really need to watch Zappa Plays Zappa- Zombie Woof featuring Steve Vai.... simply AMAZING. ✌
Gr8 review. Also from ZPZ with Dweezil, check ou the live "Zomby Woof" (the solo by guest Steve Vai is an instant classic!)
Dweezil did release a few albums of original stuff, very 80's metal. Napoleon Murphy Brock is alive and well at age 76
He’s had a few more recent albums (beyond his ZPZ stuff) over the past 5 years or so that are quite different. Not quite as metallic.
Still wish you guys had heard the original version first. So mind blowing 🤯
On the flip side, this one shows how ell the Dweez can handle his dad's complex.
We’ve heard it!
Saw Dweezil on the One Size Fits All Tour, but unfortunately not with the great Napoleon Murphy Brock. Highly recommend seeing Dweezil if he comes to your town!
of a high level. this group is excellent. since 2006 dweezil offers his father's music. very well accompanied a plus to scheila .gonzales.
If I close my eyes I'd swear it was his father playing.
That is meant as the highest compliment and not to diminish Dweezil's outstanding talent as a player in his own right.
Thank goodness for legacy
It was an electric Marimba, forget the xylophone! But they are similar, so no worries! Dweezil had a short career of his own, he even did a stint as a DJ on the original MTV. But somewhere along the way I think he decided that he did not have his dad's compositional talent, but he did have the chops to play his music. This is early ZPZ, he has gotten better over the years, and no, he does not have Frank's stage presence, so he just let's the music do the talking. This is one difficult song to play, but when played right, like it is here, it is a beautiful piece of music!
ZPZ is an easy top 5 show for me. In the time since this was recorded, Dweezil has elevated his guitar prowess to a much higher level. Jaw dropping.
We’re floored that he’s gotten better. This is pretty amazing already!
having seen this band about 9 times now, i can tell you that he has only gotten better and better in the ensuing years since this was recorded.
Wow, we have tix to a show he’s doing in Queens. Can’t wait!
@@SightAfterDark i know you already reacted to montana, but on your own time check out dweezil and rachel flowers doing their version
@@floydshambles will do!
trudatyo, DWEEZIL inherited those zircon encrusted tweezers
Respect to you guys for your respect. Seen ZPZ 6 times and have always come away with a deep sense of honor. Dweezil puts it up for all to witness and has the alumni guest stars to bolster his mission. I always felt like I was invited over to hang out with the musical family even though I paid for the admission. Each time was truly a authentic experience!
Great sound! ^^
Crying and smiling to Dwezils love for his father. I love that he can and does with his musicality ❤😍❤ im a father of four and I love his concerts at Cirkus in Stockholm. Love your musical Journey to! Tipsy comment but sincere 😍
Thanks!
Girl! How can you not be rockin' to this?
Zappa Plays Zappa was my sons first rock show.
It was Dweezils first Australian tour.
That night, they had on the big screen behind the band, Frank Zappa playing.
The whole audience stood up and applauded.
He managed to get all the band members to sign a t shirt that said.
"it's a Frank Zappa thing, you just wouldn't understand"
That night Steve Vai and Ray White were special guests.
It is framed and sits proudly in his home.
1. don't stop.
2. keep going.
Looking forward to the next Zappa instalment.
More Zappa!
On a Sharleena live version 15 year old Dweezel plays a solo then Frank comes in too and they play at the same time. It’s sick.
Dweezil's work putting on Zappa Plays Zappa is amazing. The effort put into getting together an amazing band and performing so many very difficult songs by Frank is astounding. He really honors his father's legend. (Unfortunately his brother Ahmed turned out to be a bit of a dick...)
Dweezil's put out a lot of solo albums over the years as well. I'm just a few months older than Dweezil and I first heard of him when I was about 12. He put out his first EP and his song "My Mother Is A Space Cadet" got played on the Dr. Demento show.
One of my favorite solo Dweezil albums is his 1991 Confessions. It's filled with some really great Pop/Rock including an amazing hard rock cover of the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" featuring lead vocals by Donny Osmond: th-cam.com/video/F4CMGbs1-rI/w-d-xo.html
@Mr_Batsu - I prefer Ed Palermo Big Band to hear Frank's music played with accuracy, attitude and personal touches. ZPZ plays it like a jukebox.
Thanks for the link!
Thanks for the link!
@Zolar Czakl - I've seen Project/Object with Ike, Nappy and Don Preston and it was a fun show, I have never bothered to see Dweezil. I don't like how he tries to imitate his dad.
@Zolar Czakl - Gail seemed determined to ruin Frank's legacy. I agree that Dweezil is doing a good thing trying to attract new listeners, but it's not for me.
This week, I watched Doug Helvering's analysis of a live performance of this song by Frank Zappa and his crew. I've gotta say: although this performance is good, it doesn't match the original I just watched.
Sight after dark’s reaction was much better than Doug’s though.👍
@@andrewmantle7674 I like both Doug and Sight After Dark. That's why I subscribe to both of 'em.
Thanks Tony.
I did enjoy Doug’s too. I will be checking out more of his. I liked the way he talked about how you have to instruct percussionists. Very informative and a good reaction.
Keep enjoying great music👍
@@andrewmantle7674 Yeah - I have nothing bad to say about Doug. As far as this performance, I thought Dweezil's guitar playing was really good, perhaps as good as his father, but I didn't think the other performers were quite as good as on the "real" Zappa live video.
Cheers Tony.
I’m hooked on these Zappa reactions just love watching it grow on people.
I just watched Jamal or Jamel do a reaction on the 74 performance that Doug did. It’s a great reaction too. 👍
Frank found Napoleon playing in a bar when he was vacationing in Hawaii. Frank told him to come to LA and that he's in the band without an audition. Frank's greatest front man ever. The dude is so talented plus he's a great guy. I met him a couple times.
I'm certain that Dweezil's solo was his own composition. That is a good decision by him. His dad's solo, on the original version of Inca Roads,
is one of the greatest solos of all time. Copying it would be like copying the Mona Lisa. Better to create another solo.
I believe Dweezil continues Frank’s tradition of improvising the solos
@@rottingpotatoes2483 I agree, oryginal solo by Frank is a Heaven
I think Dweezil was 12 the first time he joined Frank on stage, since he only could solo in E, they changed the song when it was time for Dweezil =) I Love the clinax in that solo, I always have a Eargasm then ...
This band and it's shifting cast are phenomenal.
Zombie Woof with The Dweez and Stunt guitarist Steve Vai is just peach.
I’m not even sure where to start reacting to this reaction. Did you react to Frank’s Inca Roads? Can’t remember. So I’ve seen Dweezil doing Zappa Plays Zappa 3 times and each show was amazing, I brought friends that knew nothing about Zappa and they loved it. Dweezil is not a composer per se but he decided to dedicate his music career to carrying on his father’s legacy. He is an incredible guitarist, organizer, and leader, despite family opposition. IMO he’s a total bad ass and we are all lucky that he does what he does. Go catch a show next time he’s nearby. You won’t regret it. As always, thanks for making us Zappa nerds happy. Love you both!
If somehow you guys do decide to react to Frank’s Inca Roads I’ll offer a warning. The Roxy live version will give you a taste of how good that band was to watch but it is riddled with claymation that Frank deemed necessary but ultimately over time is just distracting. Nothing wrong with going with the One Size Fits All audio version. Just saying. Either way, I think it’s good for you to see what Dweezil was up against.
I agree about the claymation, especially since, to me, it distracts from the guitar solo.
We’ve heard the original Inca Roads. We feel so well versed now☺️!
Thanks for the belated birthday gift.
Have to say that he inherited some of his dad's talent.... But the studio original definitely, kicks ass.
Also proves that Frank wrote out his stuff.
Right. Happy Belated!
@@SightAfterDark thanks....
65 and Frank Zappa is still as fresh today as the first time in 1971....
You keep up the good work...
Try that tune I suggested...
No need to react, more of a gift for the enjoyment you have given me.
Max Webster ... Gravity
Kim Mitchell is an extraordinary guitarist, and the band is tight.
From a Canuk in Portugal to you ...
Hope you can get out and gig to make some cash..... My street corner days are long gone...
@@davidgale7384 Sure and thanks David! We can definitely perform anytime here. We appreciate you!
Check out the original version, even if you don't react to it on screen. One of Frank's best solos.
Thanks!
Great performance but believe it or not Dweezil has grown even more as a guitarist and is playing stuff now that would make your head spin.
Its amazing that the son of a genius is so humble and sought out contemporary guitarists to study with in order to up his game.
If there was a son of a genius, it’d definitely be him.
All time favorite Zappa song!
Well done again you guys.
Spot on with your assessment of the different playing styles of Frank and Dweezil. Dweezil is a great guitarist in his own right but more planned and controlled. Frank’s solos were more improvised and frenetic partly due to his aggressive attack with his right hand.
You’ll always get a bit of negativity when people compare this performance with Frank’s 74 performance, but when you haven’t heard Frank’s music played live before and you’re fortunate enough to be in a theatre watching these guys play this, you’re left with your jaw on the floor.
This was the first incarnation of ZPZ an amazing group of musicians. It’s a different line up now but equally as good if not better. Sheila is still there as the musical director.
Napoleon is great, as usual. It’s good to listen to him talk about how he joined Frank’s band.
Couldn’t find the clip I was looking for but I think you’ll enjoy this.
m.th-cam.com/video/kO4C83EYJyo/w-d-xo.html
You guys are the type of listener that Napoleon talks about here.
Keep up the good work
Andrew
Thanks for the clip and the info!
Shout out to the Miró shirt of the Italian pianist. I want one lol
To answer your question... AZ/ DZ have a few albums.
"Father Time" on Music for Pets, by AZ DZ is a must listen. It is the last moments of Frank's life caught in a very sad song....
I've seen Frank only once, but I've seen Dweezil four times, taken a master class from him with my daughter, and spoke to him twice. He is an amazing person and an amazing ambassador of his father's music. He and his band do so much justice to the legacy of Frank's bands. Here he's performing with the brilliant Napoleon Murphy Brock who holds an important place with my daughter and I. Long story that I've told elsewhere. But Dweezil is a show I will never miss.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing Sean!
if heaven exists and Frank is there,,,, he's looking down at Dweezil and smiling,,,,
Dweezil stays true to his fathers music. Whenever he tours in Stockholm Sweden the audiece allways sings Bobby Brown with the band. Mats Öberg (a wonderful blind keyboard player gets to do a solo with the band. ) the audience goes apeshit and we have a good time. Keep up your music Journey and enjoy listening to wonderous music 😍
Have you seen the video of Mats when he was just a little kid playing King Kong on piano on Swedish TV I think?
..and the played with Frank Zappa -88 in Stockholm "the Dragonmaster show", and of course in "Zappas Universe" =)
Thanks so much!
Father Frank is Looking down Proudly on his Son Dweezil. This Disc is Phenominal and the Musicianship is Absolutely Amazing. 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 Do not miss Dweezil Live when They come to your Town, I repeat Do Not Miss Dweezil Zappa Live. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Last time I saw Frank was in 1979. He decided not to take the solo on Inca Roads, a solo which we were all waiting on. A brilliant piece of unpredictable unpredictability!
There we are my type of Zappa music!!!
Saw Dweasle once in Winnipeg it was amazing. More Zappa please.
I love this version very much!!!!!
Check out the Berklee Zappa Tribute. Absolutely mindblowing: WakaYawaka -Inca Roads - Peaches in Regalia - Zombie Woof, all rolled into one by musicians from the Berklee School of Music. Not to be missed.
Inca roads is basically inspired by Erich Von Daniken's book "Chariots of Fire"!! Basically a theory that ancient Incan Indians built a place for a flying saucer to land in the Andes mountains!!
Dweezils Funky Fifteen shows what he can do. Glad you get Zappa.
I’ve played guitar with Dweezil a couple times, but we end up just chatting, he’s such a warm and friendly guy, with lots of history and technical knowledge.
Dweezil has 8 albums I believe of his own music, and they’re all in my collection.. He is guest guitarist on a ton of stuff.
Dweezil is a far better guitarist than his dad (see him playing all those lines along with the xylophone & keys, something Frank never did), but if you prefer Frank’s playing that’s alright too. But Frank was more dedicated to composing.
Makes sense! Awesome that you’ve gotten to meet him!
Just Great!!!
Shiela from this version and Ruthie from Frank's band are beasts. Listen to Eat that question from Zappa plays Zappa. Shielas sax solo is incredible.
Guys ,have you reacted to "Watermelon in Easter Hay" by Frank or Dweezil yet ?
Yes they have, My favorite is the -88 version from Barcelona though =)
th-cam.com/video/z2moYtY46lA/w-d-xo.html
Yes we have! We loved it!
You said it, not f-ing around in here. Even though Frank loved humor and to be entertained, when it came to his music, he was very serious. If you did drugs or got messed up on the road, you were gone. Frank was about as sober as they come. Great thing about Frank is his use of so many motifs. He couldn't be categorized because he used all catagories. One of the greatest composers of any time.
Absolutely!
And u must listen to all of George Dukes other wordly work with Zappa ❤
Looking tired girl, love all this Zappa!
It’s a crying shame that Dweez doesn’t have controlling interest in the Zappa family trust!!! He’s the only one even capable of honoring his dad and carrying his life’s work forward for the future generations! I can only silently extend my two middle fingers to the two eldest, Moon and Ahmet, for what they’ve done to Dweezel!
Dweezil,love!
Just check out his interviews with him and sis and Dad from the 80s
Dweezil and Moon Unit were in the spotlight more than the rest of the children. Try The Black Page on this tour, or with Frank.
Guacamole Queen and her aura are the culprit at the Armadillo in Austin, Texas 😉😉
For sure one of my favourite Zappa pieces. This one contains so much musical material other bands can built a whole career from.
BUT, BUT, BUT: The original from ONE SIZE FITS ALL stays unreached.
OK. This is good you heard this, this version... but, and don't let anybody tell you what to do... this one and the KCET vers. you saw on the other page... are just two versions.
It helps a lot to see things in their own context. FZ would improvise every time he might get a chance after the band learned how to play something - they were his songs, he could do what he wanted. And so he did AAAFNRAA and then maintained that ethic across years of multiple bands and differing arrangements - which is an entirely different level of play than most folks can maintain... . There was a discipline to it. Starting with regular practice. Once songs and band were 'road-ready' then he would try different things. And as bands would gain confidence that they could do it, he would push them more in even different ways. Rehearsals and sound checks were chances to introduce new material on the road, individual songs were also regularly rearranged in setlists, songs combined etc. Every show, every performance, different.
Napoleon Murphy Brock first joined the Mothers in 1973 and this song became a central fixture in that band. NMB was given a frontman singer's place. The amazing thing is how he quickly adapted, wonderfully,filling the role out like nobody else. [In this regard, Dweezil never did, never tried and admits that.] Frank had found NMB as a frontman soul singer gigging at a hotel in Hawaii on the way back from a short Aussie tour - Jun-Jul73. He' had just turned 28 yrs old and Frank asked if he wanted to be in his band.
Dweezil's great and should be commended of course as well as all the band members over the last fifteen years they've been doing that.
But, context people! There are many, many Inca Roads. And they are all different. :)
If anyone wants to hear Dwezil's 'old' style of play and how it compares to Frank, look up Chunga's Revenge from Transfusion posthumous album. They both play on the track, and the difference between the way each sounded on guitar was obvious.
Thank you, now i´m going to bed.
Dweeze does have original music. He's really good. He has great musicians like his Dad. He mostly though keeps the memory alive and that's a good thing!
Absolutely!
Dweezil has his own music too and you should listen to some of his songs but he has spent a lot of time and energy on Zappa Plays Zappa. I think learning to play his father’s parts has increased his skill and especially his soloing is much better now than it was during the first ZPZ tours. It is probably difficult for him to deviate too much from the original versions of his father’s music without getting criticism. Hence we hear them singing “Chester’s thing on Ruth”. Chester Thompson and Ruth Underwood are nowhere near that performance. In reality if Frank were on stage he would have gleefully changed his lyrics to suit whatever he found funny at the time. I hope that Dweezil becomes comfortable enough with improvisation and writing that he does his own thing. Fantastic performances of Frank’s music are being done by many bands and musicians. I have even heard a group of accordions play Zappa.
I saw Dweezil's first tour when he formed ZPZ, and in that show he perfectly mimicked the solo off of OSFA, but over the years he has learned how to improvise his solos too. The last time I saw him he did a killer version of RDNZL, but the jam was all Dweezil.
Dweezil was always the more technically proficient guitarist of the family. Closer to Steve Vai than his dad usually, but here he’s as smooth as usual but he’s using a lot of hyper-staccato notes, which was his dad’s signature sound.
Nice
Dweezil also got hes own material. Some of it is crap, but Via Zammata has some cool moments. Especially the opening Funky 15 is pretty Zappaesque and Dragon Master which is based on some ideas he had with hes father.
FYI, the other guitarist, not featured here, is the remarkable Jamie Kime!
Dweezil and the ZPZ band are defiantly the rosette on the tasty Muffin that is Franks music..yum
The original is far more better... Pure No misunderstanding - I bow to Dweezil´s work on the legacy of Frank!
I absolutely love the "Zombie Woof" rendition by Dweezil with Zappa Plays Zappa KILLER
Hello, just a quick story..... my Daughter came to me one day and said, Dad, im takeing you to a concert, it is in 3 months. i said yes daughter, and forgot about it. then, she said ok Dad it's Tomorrow night, you need to be ready. she and her Boyfriend arrived and i was ready. on the way i asked, Who are we going to see. you will find out. she replied...... well, it was Zappa plays Zappa, in a small venue in Austin, Texas. i would guess 500-750 people in the crowd. i must say..... i sang, i danced, i was amazed. and Delighted. during this show, they played this song.....:)
Amazing!
Saw dweez and his band rip hot rats to shreds right before the rona…
These kids should do the entire Joe’s Garage
And waka/jawaka
I love what Dweezil is doing, and that many in Frank's bands are participating. I know this will probably come off wrong, but Frank brought a sense of - can't thing of the right word so I'll say - brought a sense of musical danger to the shows that no longer exists.
We know exactly what you mean. Frank was a wild man. Dweezil has the chops, but seems a bit more tame
You asked whether Dweezil is doing his own or just carrying on his own music. He has his own albums. They are good. But what he spends most of his time on is trying to spread his father's work. After all, it's music from the future. He also recognizes that his father improvises most of his solos, and so Dweezil does the same. He tries to play in his father's style, but his own playing can't hep but inform what he does. Those are his words in his master class. He was asked, what's the hardest song for him to play. Dweezil said that the solo in Inca Roads is the one. He has to run through it before every show. He demonstrated to the class by playing it cold and, needless to say, he messed it up.
That’s very understandable ☺️
Napoleon was Frank's best frontman, in my opinion. Bozzio and George are up their too!
Last words frank had for his son was "please keep my music going" so Dweezil plays and tours to younger and newer audiences cause they feel its the music they should be exposed to!!!
Shout out to Dweezil! He’s amazing!
Dweezil is playing his fathers guitar, FYI.
Love it
Dweezil and moon were on early mtv
Lol they don’t seem like mtv people
You really should play Mud Club song from the Thing fish album.👍👍👍
Dweezle has a couple albums
Good as this is, I can't help just wanting to listen to one of Frank's versions
jaga jazzist - oban live!
Where's Ruth?
Guess it Scheila this time!
This is great and all power to Dweezil, but a live cut with George Duke and Ruth Underwood on this track is unmatchable.
except that FZ's guitar solo is replaced with a clay-mation sequence that distracts from the music....
Yeah you were talking about that I mean it is amazing how do weasel is a lot more mellow but he can do some amazing ribs I mean probably technically he might even be better than his dad I'm sure his dad would say that and I didn't know if that was actually Ruth Underwood the original Vibes player that would be awesome because they said at the end of the song you know on Ruth on Ruth that's Ruth but but up up yeah you know the thing is with the keyboard player holy shit you know that guy has some big shoes to fill because originally George Duke played that keyboard part in the synthesizers and that large electric piano and all that so that's huge yeah Ruth Underwood she was married to Ian Underwood who was the original member of the Mothers of Invention he played saxophone and then eventually his wife joined up with the group when Frank found out that she could play the marimbas and The Vibes and all that proficiently which is quite obvious oh my gosh but I love the whole theme of the song I'm sure you know about the petroglyphs on the high desert Plains up in Peru so they theorize that it was all done for the landing strip for the UFOs to land and so that's obviously what this song is about and about the armadillo Headquarters in Austin Texas and the guacamole Queen guacamole Queen guacamole Queen whatever that means alright you crazy kids keep playing that music you know someday I'll tell you about when I met Frank Zappa that was really fun all right brooklynites you know I actually got lost there about I don't know 10 years ago I actually got to see the original Yankee stadium before they tore it down right there it was getting dark and I finally turned around and found the Washington Bridge and I was so happy because now I wasn't lost and the Big Apple so we could get back to the Midwest ironically one of the few people actually happy to go to New Jersey
Dweezil was exceptionally well, but contrary to what you said he is his fathers son. The rest is ok, but I wish you reacted on the original from One Size Fits All be the "Real Frank Zappa" (also his biography)
Thanks for watching Thomas! We’re sure Frank’s original is coming down our request line at some point. Our patrons select our reactions. We love giving them what they want!
Tidy
Please react to the "One Size Fits All" version
