I read at the time Nuno had produced this album but listening to this 30+ years later is amazing to hear the links between this and what was going on with Extreme.
Only 800 view something??? Jesus,people do not know anymore what great rock'n'roll music sounds like.Lovely tribute to Edward Van Halen,the king! Hi from France :)
Rumour has it that Eddie plays uncredited on the album somewhere because he couldn't get clearance from his record label. If it's true, then this video is a pretty big clue that this is where he is.
The final 7 notes are a nod to another dweezil track, I forget the name of it but his sis Moon sings, it's about the news or some shot like that great song
@@TarnTarn-zv6cp other bit of trivia: Nuno Bettencourt's backing vocals are highly recognizable on this track (awesome guitarist and friend of Dweezil who helped producing this dope album)
Man, this takes me back. I use to jam this all the time when I was in high school. Great album and some really great songs and amazing damn solos. Dweez is really a tasty player and I love his creative use of effects for certain parts. I wish I could have seen him live during this time. He's got a crazy amount of good tones on this record too. Fun rock and roll with great musicianship. Mike Keneally is in the band too - he's a damn monster player. Beer for Dolphins!!!
Van Halen songs are the best songs on Earth. This might be the best non-Van Halen song on Earth. Having Extreme involved doesn't hurt! And how many catchy hooks can a song have?!
Just stumbled on this video... Dweezil zappa learned his guitar style from his dad and Eddy Van halen ....alot of his guitar rips u can hear eddy's style.....his dad and Eddy where great friends and would vist frank place alot and Dweezil was is big fan....
They were pretty good friends...Eddie showed up at his house to show some stuff to Frank...and Dweezil remembers it as like a dream opened the door to see his Guitar IDOL dressed in famous blue jumpsuit and VH necklace..lol..he helped him with a lot of guitar stuff..think he was between 12-14 yrs 9ld can't remember...look up the recent Sunset Studios yt and there is a few interviews with Dweezil talking about that day and other cool EVH stuff...Dweezil became a bad ass player...Loved his "Havin a Bad Day album from 86 or 87...
Just found out from a new podcast on the making of this record, that actor Robert Wagner was the guy in the costume!! Dweezil confirmed it on his website last night.
@@dealingwithstupidity3771 Podcast? There is a series of audio documentaries on Dweezil's page, where the interviewer is talking to DZ about the making of his own albums. I'm not sure if these are available for purchase or not, but sign up at his site and you should be able to watch/listen.
Back when this video came out, Dweezil was dating Robert’s daughter Katie who is also a TV personality. I can’t find the original video (that I first stumbled upon when I first learned of RU-vid in 2009-ish) with an extended opening scene where Wagner appears as a smooth emcee introducing viewers to the AZ/DZ Lounge (Ahmed Zappa/Dweezil Zappa). His brother also appears in that opening, I think.
Dweezil is singing lead on this and pretty much every track on the record. Gotta Get To You Written-By, Music By, Lyrics By, Guitar, LEAD VOCALS - Dweezil Zappa Backing Vocals - Extreme (2) Bass Guitar [16 Strings] - Scott Thunes Performer [Abusive Treatment Of Inanimate Objects] - Josh Freese
@@davidnorman4923yep! 100%. Check out all the credits. www.discogs.com/Dweezil-Zappa-Confessions/release/900055 Pretty funny actually. Michael J. Fox on Shoogagoogagunga???? Not sure if that's real or fake. I messaged Nuno in his Insta but no reply. :(
One of the most outrageously talented set of musicians, Scott Thunes, Dweezil Zappa, Josh Freese and Mike Kenneally. Sadly apart from a few high points like this the rest of the album was quite flat.
