Zappa Plays Zappa
I have noticed that there are many other Frank fans around here, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has had the chance to see either of Dweezil's Zappa Plays Zappa tours, or hear any shows from them. Had the chance to see them in Orlando last fall, and I was quite pleased to hear Frank's music played by a band he'd definitely have enjoyed, and led by his kid, who is an amazing guitar player in his own right. Is there any point in saying Vai brought the house down, because it's exactly what I expected him to do. Man did he ever deliver. I will never look at my whammy bar the same way again now that I know it can do that!

I have not seen this tour but I would have loved to. Frank was a genius as is Dweezil (and Steve). Not only did Frank just slay on the guitar and with his music composition but he was damn funny which I totally enjoyed and still do. Did any of the other members of Frank's original band play as well?

Let's not forget Cucarullo's stint in Duran Duran.
I can;t hear his name without hearing it in the context of "Catholic Girls"
Warren Cucarullo... Kinda young, kinda wild

One of my friends was opening for Missing Persons and during sound check he said Terry and Dale had a screaming match that filled the auditorium. One good reason that Deep Purple never had a girl in the band.
