I remember finding a tape on the street when I was about 17 years old. Nothing was written on it but I was curious and played it anyway. The music mezmerized me and I couldn't stop playing it. I had never heard of Frank Zappa so it took me a couple of years to find out that the album on it was in fact "Overnite Sensations". I started collecting more Frank Zappa albums but this one remained special to me. It was 1977.

Chad Wackerman: at the time, after Bozzio and Colaiuta, my young self thought Chad was just ‘very good’ but I have grown to see past the attitude and star power and now think his is just as good as those guys! Incredible technical abilities paired with a sense of groove and power that is hard to find. Maybe not a lot of ego/personality in his being and playing and therefore not as noticeable as other more famous drummers but he’s one of the greats for me…

This is what the woman, Nina Blackwood had to say about it: **The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa. Ugh! It was a nightmare. I feel bad saying this because he is no longer with us, but he was a nightmare. I hope I never run into anything as terrible as that again. He was deliberately being Frank Zappa. It was the first live broadcast that MTV ever did. It was his yearly concert that he used to do from The Palladium on Halloween. I was the host. Even in rehearsals Frank was really obnoxious to me. Between my lack of experience and him being obnoxious, it was just a nightmare. Enough said. It was a very bad experience. (...) It was baptism by fire. Now, with the chip on my shoulder that I have developed, I wouldn't tolerate it. Back then, I was young and we were trying to do our best. I was an easy target. It was a cheap shot and he didn't have to do that. If Frank wanted to be smart then do it to Walter Cronkite or something, but not a twenty-something little girl doing her first live broadcast.**

One of those times it all comes together. I was a complete stranger to Steve Vai in 1981 and remember the impression of “who the hell IS this guy?” What a night.

Zappa era mi genio favorito (y sigue siéndolo). No he vista a nadie tocar la guitarra como él ni manejar el wah-wah de esa forma. Sus composiciones caminan entre el surrealismo, la psicodelia y el blues más ancestral, a parte de un sentido del humor ácido y super personal. Me gustaba también su música por el histrionismo que manifestaba y los constantes e inesperados cambios que te sorprendían constantemente. Lo amabas o lo odiabas, pero co la eléctrica era u Dios.

Lembro-me exatamente do dia em que meu pai apareceu com o VHS desse show. Era o anode 1986 e eu tinha apenas 7 anos. Eu já estava acostumado a ouvir os albuns em casa, mas ver um show do Zappa foi puro deleite. Como baterista, ver Chad Wackerman tão novo na banda e tocando essa monstruosidade foi inspirador.
