770.0. "Zappa, Dweezil" by REPAIR::KISIEL (Yo Dudes 8^)) Tue Jul 09 1991 06:44

    
    
    I thought I'd add this topic in because at the moment Dweezil Zappa's
    my favourite guitarist...... Don't belive me !!! check out his lastest 
    album "confessions", it's got some cool tracks. I'm not going to
    state his style because this album could just be a one-off, I mean I
    know his dad's albums go off in all kinds of directions.... but I will 
    say it's a good rockin' album.
    
    So all fans of Steve Vai, Extreme and Frank Zappa go check it out at
    your local record store, you won't be disapointed! (I say fans of the
    above musicians because his music touches all there styles..plus he was
    tought guitar by Steve Vai and Frank Zappa and his album is produced
    by Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt).
    
    "Confessions", features guest apperences from Ratt's guitarist(the good
    one!), Zakk Wylde, all of extreme, Donny Osmond!! (yeah he sings
    Staying alive on the album - it's great!).
    
    So, I wonna hear some feedback in this topic....check it out !!!

770.2Have to check that one outGOES11::G_HOUSEI wanna be sedated!Tue Jul 09 1991 12:475
    I don't have this album right now, but I have the first one he did and
    I like it quite a bit.  Sure it's kinda cheesy and derivative, but who
    cares?  It's fun music!

    I read the interview in Guitar Player where he talked about the new
    album.  It sounds good!  Must be nice to jam with/be taught by guys
    like Van Halen, Vai, etc.

     Dude I heard the whole album about 5 months back and loved it.  Nuno
    had flown home to produce his brothers demo tape, his brother Paul
    sings for (FLESH).  He had the tape with him and we listened to it at
    the studio.  I was amazed! I had recently traveled to Joe's Garage 
    (Dweezils rehersal place) and got to take a look at his guitar collection..
    (what a collection)  Hopefully future Dweezil will be just a growth
    from this album and not something in another direction like his dad. 
    He is a great guy and very down to earth.  Not what you would expect
    from a kid named Dweezil Zappa...

    I hope no-one's waiting for more detail's on this dude but since
    my last couple of reply's I've gone off the album (it's still good
    but I just don't listen to it anymore!)
    
    Is it true his brothers called MOON UNIT  (ha!)
