[@JazzHead808]

Really ?? Zero comments people?? Awesome video dude! Seen the dweez twice and he is such a cool dude. Zappa is best

[@guessthatrecord]

Glad you liked it! Dweezil is a cool dude indeed 🤘

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

Dweezil Zappa is AWSEOME! ❤ Thank You!

[@guessthatrecord]

He's super awesome!

[@djhoneylove5710]

This is an outstanding interview. Thank you Dweezil. You are Frank's greatest creation.

[@guessthatrecord]

Glad you liked it!

[@gilray1977]

Dweezil is awesome! Such a cool guy and it gave me warm and fuzzies to read your words 'Frank's greatest creation' Let's not forget his older sister. She does not get the press or public exposure as Dweez.... yet you have to admit she qas one of Frank's greatest creations as well !

[@mathtrixmusiclix4248]

366 views?!! WTF?! Can interview Dweezil too!? Fantastic interview! Props!

[@guessthatrecord]

Thanks for watching!

I just love Dweezil, just saw him in Albany NY and he blew heads clear off. Great guy too-really took time with his fans!

[@TurboDrummer66]

What an excellent podcast. Actually allowing the guest to talk and not interrupting every 10 seconds.

[@guessthatrecord]

Thanks again! I went to school for journalism, and one of the main things I got drilled into me was to not speak over the subject in an interview. Besides, we're all here to listen to these amazing stories from our guests, so I let them do the talking!

[@dromadrosis]

Dweezil is not just the Son of Zappa. He is an outstanding musician and a very gentle person. He visited Denmark 3 times and I stood there touching the scene not to miss a single detail. Great interview!

[@guessthatrecord]

Thank you! I agree with your assessment on Dweezil, awesome guy!

[@pc7135]

Great interviewer who lets Dweezil talk uninterrupted.

[@tommartin7833]

Dweezil, what a great guy…to do this interview. For me, he has had difficult road being offspring of a famous musician…both for expectation, and the fact that he is a great player in his own right and constantly being asked about his dad. In many respects for him to reproduce the music is more difficult than playing the original solo…Frank was known for almost never composing a solo, but improvising on the fly. Thank you Dweezil!

[@kevincoffey6022]

Really enjoy this! Great to see a young musician who loves Frank's music. I saw the mothers in Central Park, New Your City in 1968 (yeah, I'm that old) and my wife & I got guitar lessons, as part of a group lesson, from Dweezil. Dweezil is a prince! In the group lesson was a young fella, maybe 12 who was battling cancer. Dweezil had him up on stage playing with the band at that night's performance.

[@guessthatrecord]

That's an awesome story!

[@thomasbrown8598]

A really great interview, was truly interesting and compelling. Had never heard of the podcast before, perhaps I'll check out some more.

[@guessthatrecord]

Thanks! We've had some great episodes recently with people like Andy Summers so it's a perfect time to check out the show

[@wheelie63]

Dweezil is such a champ....................good interview. thx.

[@guessthatrecord]

Thanks for listening!

[@geoffpoole483]

It's such a refreshing change to watch a Zappa interview which focused on the music. Frank Zappa must have got so fed up with being asked about the names of his children. There were so many things that could have been discussed with Frank. Dweezil comes across as a fascinating bloke, just like his dad. One has to be a very good musician to play the music of Frank Zappa.

[@guessthatrecord]

Dweezil and the music are both awesome!

[@zappafanseeker1099]

sorry to hear the torment Dweezil went through on running man. But I have always felt that his using his dads line "don't touch that Dial" from the song I'm the slime was easily the high point of that movie.

[@guessthatrecord]

I never made the connection about his line being from I'm The Slime. Nice observation!

[@sagbdadbadgtedg]

Great interview, thanks!

[@guessthatrecord]

Thank you for watching!

[@1000mg.]

My favorite song to play along with is "The Torture Never Stops", of which I have heard many versions.

[@jbonesmusicland]

Great interview particularly because you never interrupt.

[@guessthatrecord]

Thank you! I always make sure to let the guest tell their story. That's what we're all here for after all!

[@DanChad-er9lh]

Love the Dweez! My parents gave me the middle name of Chunga after yer dads lp.

[@PeterByker]

Superb interview, the time flew by! Love what you created, and subbed for more, cheers! MUSIC IS THE BEST

[@guessthatrecord]

Appreciate the support! We've got some great interviews in the works...

[@auchlowtrus9300]

The DAD (RIP) would be proud of you Sir .

[@DavidL.Hudson]

In 2006 I saw the show at H.O.B.in NOLA. AND THE next on in 2008 and 2110 at H.O.B. AND ONCE MORE IN 2112 AT TIPI TINA'S, in New Orleans. Met Steve , joe bily h, Jamie kime, Shelia,and Dweezil and his wife. One of my friends worked for SV in the DLR BAND...

[@guessthatrecord]

@@DavidL.Hudson Awesome!

[@notq5362]

31:14 Montana is a song about pubic hair. The premise is that when a pubic hair inadvertantly gets between your teeth, it does the same job as dental floss, so why not package pubic hair as dental floss? Dweezil said that a piece of one song was occasionally repurposed later as its own song. (26:50). That's the case with Montana. The line "The hair escaping from my teeth" from the song "The Air" was the inspiration for the dental floss in the song Montana. The album Uncle Meat also featured dental floss on the cover. Why Montana? The shape of Montana's borderline looks like a hairy crotch. Ravalli county looks like a dinky male protuberance. If you scale the map to the size of a human groin, you'd only need a tiny horse to ride along the borderline. Wax and tweezers are for plucking hair. I might be wrong. Dweezil should start marketing black dental floss.

[@guessthatrecord]

Zappa branded dental floss could be good concert merch, although I'd prefer it hairless haha

[@notq5362]

​@@guessthatrecordYour interview style is great. Very enjoyable

[@guessthatrecord]

@@notq5362 I appreciate the feedback!

[@djhoneylove5710]

Oh puhleeze!

[@gilray1977]

Excellent interview ! As said the interviewer is very respectful and calm. What I have to say is not influenced by my dire love for F.Z's music. In fact as much of a fan of Frank's music, his intellect and extremely erudite thought process, you have to admit he was beyond self assured to the point of arrogant. Which is fine, coming from a genius that has to deal with so much mediocrity around them. I have seen Dweezil play 8 or 10 times and was part of a small group of fans that got to interact with him directly. With all the celebrities around him and his father's fame growing up I would expect Dweez to be a little rocky. NOT SO ! Dweezil is one of the most down to earth and compassionate of famous musicians as you will ever find ! Dweezil (in my eyes ((and ears)) truly a saint ! A sai t for his compassion and caring. A saint for all he has been through with family squabbles and to just press on. A saint for working so diligently at learning to reproduce his Father's live sound legacy.... and a saint 8n a few words "he is just a super cool guy !"

[@1000mg.]

Zappa's Ruth Underwood blows my mind, and holds an important part in anything she appears on.

[@1000mg.]

Going to Rox(postroph)y tour in August

[@guessthatrecord]

I'm sure it will be a great show 🤘

[@jeremeydonovan8286]

Yes August means New England! Maybe I’ll see you there

[@eyeofamon]

I remember at the time the comparisons between Best of Both Worlds and a section of Yes' Roundabout.

[@guessthatrecord]

I never noticed that, but now I can hear exactly what you're talking about. Good ear!

[@bakeone4406]

Big respect for Dweezil. He was being nice to the host and certainly knows that subtracting the Roth era albums diminishes the Van Halen catalog WAY MORE than subtracting the Hagar period albums. VH went generic and stale... almost late period Journey post Roth. The new direction, they went, (which wasn't exactly groundbreaking) hardly qualifies as a progression or a period of artistic growth.

[@guessthatrecord]

@bakeone4406 I appreciate the insight! Personally I prefer the Hagar albums, but music is subjective. Everyone can like what they like!

[@DavidL.Hudson]

And the vault meister Joe Travers....

[@SmelOdies]

Dweezil is not interested in a residency in Vegas, but I don’t think that means Vegas isn’t a zapper sort of town. If Santana could have a lively residency in Vegas, I’m sure the Zappa could as well with his jamming. I would also say there are a lot of tribute bands with successful residences in Vegas.

[@guessthatrecord]

At least Dweezil is playing shows again soon!

[@SmelOdies]

@@guessthatrecord Has Dweezil played a bicycle on tour yet?

Pretty sure that's a utility muffin research kitchen of some kind, which are indeed deep underground.
