Dweezil Zappa World

Hope you can answer this one..I gave you a pic of Frank that I shot in 1980 in Chicago..I did it in a charcoal finish and made the frame from some old walnut..I gave it to you in Milw.(Dream theater tour) in a brown wrapper while you were on stage.Did you get it..If you did,What did you end up doing with it?

I went and saw the Dec.1'st show at the Warfield,SF... I had purchaced VIP tickets about a month before the show. When I had used ticketmaster to buy the VIP tix , I was told they came with an exclusive sound check , and a limited tour poster.... (which I was excited to have Dweezil sign and then frame as the best of my collection) Let me first start off by saying THE SHOW WAS AMAZING ! as it always is !!!! ... the soundcheck was nice too. Altho , there was NO collectable posters for us VIP ticket holders... every single one of us VIP ticket holders did not recieve a poster. The main reason I chose to spend a few extra bucks of my hard earned cash on VIP tickets was because I really wanted the poster. The sound check was great and all , but I was already there for the show , so the poster was my souvenier (among the other stuff I purchased at the booth). I have spoken with the venue , AND ticketmaster , and was told it may get mailed to me.. but Im not sure if that was just something they told me to shut me up...  Please , if anyone who can straighten this out please please please let me know if I can ever expect to get the show pos…Read more

Hello Jeremy,

I am not sure what happened with the posters. I am not usually aware of the details of how these things get organized. I did hear that there were some folks who were disappointed and  I have made calls to try to get the ticket holders their souvenirs.

I believe this will get taken care of.  I'll keep my eye on it.

What band did Chris Squire paly bass in? (Thread Title)

Obvious, huh...Excuse me, I'm Mr. Obvious these days...

Rabies will do that to you.

Rabid fan here. (Lick, lick, ruff!)

Nothing butt the best for my dawg. Not a speck of surreal....

Arf, she said.

I recently spoke to you at the Columbus, Ohio ZPZ show, and we briefly discussed what it takes to become a professional musician. I was wondering if you'd be able to expound on that and help me get a better understanding of everything. Thanks!

Hey Dweezil,

Saw you in Boston 3 times and the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom once. I am most impressed by your personable nature. I think I told that to you at 2 of your concerts when you were available for signings.

Just one question, semi-technical:

What is the effect chain used on the "most awesome" guitar solo on Son of Orange County(Roxy&Elsewhere version)? I assume the effect is analog and it sounds like it is partially a ring-modulator that has either a sequenced or keyboard input for the carrier.

I know that you perform it and you are very true to the original barring the availability of having a huge surplus of old school analog effects.

Thanks for the music. I am very thankful for your determination of letting us continue to hear it live.

Hey Dweezil, saw your show last month at Edinburgh Picture house, I was stood behind the Italian lady with her hands over her ears, did you ever find out why she did that?, it was so rude. I only started my Zappa education a couple of months ago and i'm loving what  hear.

I have no idea if this is the right place to ask this.

What little is commericially available of your father's acoustic work is spine-tingling, nipple-hardening, hauntingly beautiful. IS THERE MORE????? WILL IT BE RELEASED, EVER? 

Incidently, my kid's name is CADENCE, and we both have been given a hard time about that at various points. But I figure there is no accounting for taste and fvck 'em.

PLEASE PLAY CHICAGO. It is a beautiful city--great food, culture and musicial tradition.
