- Our first episode of 2024 has the one and only Dweezil Zappa joining Jackson on Guess That Record! The son of legendary musician Frank Zappa, Dweezil followed in his footsteps to become a master guitarist and composer in his own right, releasing six studio albums over the course of his career. He's also carried on the legacy of his father's music by fronting the successful group Zappa Plays Zappa. In this episode, Jackson and Dweezil talk about how he learned guitar under the tutelage of Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa's greatest hits, and how he managed to earn a part in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

Really ?? Zero comments people?? Awesome video dude! Seen the dweez twice and he is such a cool dude. Zappa is best
Glad you liked it! Dweezil is a cool dude indeed 🤘
This is an outstanding interview. Thank you Dweezil. You are Frank's greatest creation.
Glad you liked it!
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.
Dweezil and the music are both awesome!
Dweezil Zappa is AWSEOME! ❤
Thank You!
He's super awesome!

WTF?!
Can interview Dweezil too!?
Fantastic interview! Props!
Thanks for watching!
What an excellent podcast. Actually allowing the guest to talk and not interrupting every 10 seconds.
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!
My favorite song to play along with is "The Torture Never Stops", of which I have heard many versions.
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.
That's an awesome story!
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!
Thank you! I agree with your assessment on Dweezil, awesome guy!
Love the Dweez! My parents gave me the middle name of Chunga after yer dads lp.
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!
Dweezil is such a champ....................good interview. thx.
Thanks for listening!
This was a great interview! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great interview, thanks!
Thank you for watching!
A really great interview, was truly interesting and compelling. Had never heard of the podcast before, perhaps I'll check out some more.
Thanks! We've had some great episodes recently with people like Andy Summers so it's a perfect time to check out the show
Great interview
Thank you!
top quality interview. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
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.
I never made the connection about his line being from I'm The Slime. Nice observation!
Superb interview, the time flew by! Love what you created, and subbed for more, cheers! MUSIC IS THE BEST
Appreciate the support! We've got some great interviews in the works...
Zappa's Ruth Underwood blows my mind, and holds an important part in anything she appears on.
I remember at the time the comparisons between Best of Both Worlds and a section of Yes' Roundabout.
I never noticed that, but now I can hear exactly what you're talking about. Good ear!
Great interview particularly because you never interrupt.
Thank you! I always make sure to let the guest tell their story. That's what we're all here for after all!
Going to Rox(postroph)y tour in August
I'm sure it will be a great show 🤘
Yes August means New England! Maybe I’ll see you there
😎👍👍
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.
@bakeone4406 I appreciate the insight! Personally I prefer the Hagar albums, but music is subjective. Everyone can like what they like!
I am going to write a song about "Filthy Dirty Clothes" in Em
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.
Zappa branded dental floss could be good concert merch, although I'd prefer it hairless haha
@@guessthatrecordYour interview style is great. Very enjoyable
@@notq5362 I appreciate the feedback!
Oh puhleeze!
Pretty sure that's a utility muffin research kitchen of some kind, which are indeed deep underground.
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.
At least Dweezil is playing shows again soon!
@@guessthatrecord Has Dweezil played a bicycle on tour yet?
Hier Fido Fidi😂❤
He’s hiding out on a backgammon board 😂
I alway's LOVE TITTIES 😂 AND BEER
LIVE IN NEW YORK 🎸🎶🎶🎶
