    has no-one heard the Confessions lp by dweez. it has an amazing track
    at the end of the cd, (son of shugagugagunga) with two "dudes" jamming 
    and playing like beck,satriani, joe perry (at a carnival) and a good 
    impression of Dave Lee Roth (ah furgot the f*ckin' words man).
    
    a bit like bill and ted in wyld stallyne (who are these dudes anyway)
    
    anyway, did you know that 'Van Halen taught Beck everything he
    knows':-).
    
    the gutar playing is brilliant.
    
    dude, check out my solo,
    
    jim..

    oh, i almost forgot,
    
    what is a penticostal scale :-)
    

    re. 1.
    
    Eddie was still in diapers when Beck taught the whole world how to
    play. Ask Eddie who his influences are??? You're just kidding when you
    made that statement, right???

    stig,
    
    just kidding, this dweezil song is one long hoot about guys who play
    guitar for all the wrong reasons...and are pretty dim to boot. this was
    only a line from the song (one dude says) 
    
    	'eddie van halen taught beck evrythin he knows - so my friend told
    me'
    
    other classics include
    
    'whoa,check me out dude, i'm doing satriani' (soloing ala surfin
    							w.alien)
    
    'whatareyou, havin dinner with the alien?' replies the other dude :-)	
     
    ...try to get a copy of Confessions by Dweezil Zappa, play the last 
    track, there is a long pause, then dweezil plays some seriously shredding 
    guitar solos while the vocal duet do a "yo dude" type thing.
    
    ps, the cd was co-produced by nuno bettencourt and features the old
    beegees song "stayin alive" with Donny Osmond singing (it was meant to
    be Ozzy but he cancelled last minute), warren dimartini
    (ratt), nuno, dweez, zakk wylde and another guy (whose solo is the
    best) soloing.
    
    sorry for the confusion

    sounds like Zappa-ish material to me...i sort of knew something was up.
    didn't mean to be so...ya know. i'm just a lover of the pioneer
    guitarists of rock and Frank Zappa is on that list as far as guitar
    playing...
    
                            stig

    i think dweezil is carrying on the zappa tradition for weirdness and
    his brother probably should be removed from society...if you had seen
    the live show you'd know what i mean.

>    sounds like Zappa-ish material to me...
    
    Umm...it is!  Just not FRANK Zappa's.  :-)

    has anyone seen the vid for "Mommy". its as strange as the title sounds

    	Does anyone have a discography for Dweezil Zappa?
    
    	I have:
    
    	"My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama"
    	"Havin' a Bad Day"
    
    
    	And is 'Z' a band of his ... maybe with his brother[s] on it
    	also?
    

    Z is definitely a band with Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa.

    There's tons of Zappa stuff out on the net but almost all of it deals
    with daddy!

    Frank Zappa was excellant.

    	Looks like I'll have to look for "Confessions" by Zappa and
    	"Shampoo[something]" by Z.
    
    	I did find a little bit on the web on Dweezil, but not much.
    	And I didn't look too far, either, so there could be more.
    
    	He played co-lead guitar on "Chewing On Crayons" on Blues
    	Saraceno's "Hairpick" album.  Great duet!!

    	New Z album out ... "Songs for Pets".
    
    	Newbury Comics has it on their web page, so there's a good chance
    	they stock it.
    
    	I'll probably pick it up.
