Super stoked to play Muffin Man with Steve Vai at guitar camp this year! Was really cool to play Frank’s music with one of his prodigies.  Steve fondly spoke of Frank, telling stories during his master classes.  Recall too...

Dear Dweezil

I am a silver guy - What's the difference if i became Gold member?...

Last night my parents and I saw Dweezil at The Pageant! The band played for 2.5 hours, performing exciting arrangements of so many favorites and a few songs I had actually never heard, including Punky's Whips! The early...

Edward Van Halen An electric guitar is made of wood, wires, metal bits, and magnets, all inert and lacking biological response. However, we know that certain DNA matches can unlock the mysteries of these sapient creatures,...

This picture was made by Pia Vai, backstage at the GLivelab Club in Tampere Finland, September 2023. Last year Steve interviewed ME about my book on Frank, for which DZ so sweetly wrote the...

This is a fantastic and just plain fun interview Dweezil did in 2018 with the brilliant Mdou Moctar of Niger who plays in Touareg styles and his own unique style. https://youtu.be/Ugk8Qeb9BE0...

The official music video for the title track "Jasmine" from the latest Alvalanker album "Jasmine" released January 2025, is now on YouTube.  Also, the lead single to the new album has been chosen, the third track on the...

I know this is not directly related to Dweezil's site. But, I thought this was a well written piece on the future of subscription based services. I guess my main reason for putting this here is to convince others/new...

Hello Everyone, I'm creating a series of binge-listening trios for you. The first batch is not your average "Cosmik Debris," it's a compendium of twisted tales woven into the song during the Hot Rats tour. We tried to make...

Hi Everyone, I've been going through my archives and I am really excited to let you know that I have some rare video stuff to share with you. Back in December of 2008, my concert at the Roxy was filmed and I have a lo-res...

Hi Everyone, An unsavory individual decided to steal my white custom Fender Stratocaster. It was made for me by Alex Perez at Fender.  It has some unique features that are quite easily recognizable in this photograph.  A...

Dweezil is, for me, all things ZAPPA. I cannot, in good conscience, visit/purchase, from any other "official" Zappa website. It just makes me ill. I'd rather buy from some person on Ebay, items that I can't get from Dweezils...

I loved how everything and everyone was a potential target of criticism and humor in the music and commentary of the genius FZ. His ideas never appeared rooted in any one-sided position. His art was the best kind. It worked...

Since Edward Van Halen's passing, I've been in a reflective mood. It's fascinating to think that one simple step leads to a journey that brings inspiration at every turn.  The photo attached to this story is not a directly...
