	Dweezil Zappa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dweezil Zappa (born September 5, 1969, in Los Angeles, California) is a heavy metal guitarist.
		Dweezil's older sister is Moon Unit, and his two younger siblings are Ahmet and Diva Zappa.
		Dweezil's registered birth name was Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa, although this occurred only because the hospital at which he was born refused to register him under the name Dweezil.

	Dweezil Zappa working to keep dad's legacy alive \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		The Zappa Plays Zappa tour (which stops at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Thursday and the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday) is the first memorial effort by his family since Zappa died of cancer in 1993.
		Even in the freewheeling era that formed him, Zappa was an odd man out – an abstemious aesthete who turned his withering satire on the counterculture as readily as he attacked the deadening conformity of public schools, government and social institutions in general.
		Zappa's own children – Moon, Dweezil, their younger brother Ahmet and their younger sister Diva – were involved with their father's music in various ways from young ages.

	Zappa redux: Son revives father's music - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		The Zappa Plays Zappa tour, which arrived at the Beacon Theater in New York on Monday after an extensive European leg, is the first memorial effort by his family since Zappa died of cancer in 1993.
		Dweezil Zappa said he was especially drawn to the albums he remembers from his childhood in Southern California, from the era after his father dissolved the Mothers of Invention.
		Both Dweezil and his mother come across as fiercely custodial of that legacy, fighting against copyright infringements and advocating for the music to be played as it was written.

	Ink 19 :: Dweezil Zappa
		It seems strangely appropriate to be talking to Dweezil Zappa the day after the November Presidential election; considering his father, the late guitarist and avant garde rock pioneer Frank Zappa, once had plans to run his own third party campaign for President.
		Dweezil tells me that what's even weirder is his mother, Gail Zappa, has actually become close friends with Tipper and Al Gore "in a big way," and that she's in Tennessee at the moment, supporting the Democratic party in what will turn out to be a months-long, mortifying horrorshow of vote recounts and political corruption.
		Dweezil Zappa was a really cool guy, and a great talker and here's some of the stuff we talked about.

	Dweezil Zappa
		With a father like the legendary Frank Zappa, one might assume that it may be difficult to gain recognition for your own independent accomplishments outside of the larger-than-life legendary status built in the family name.
		Dweezil's musical talents would later be employed with his brother, Ahmet, as they formed Z and released their debut album, Shampoohorn, in 1994.
		Often spotted in small roles and cameos, Dweezil may also be a familiar face to moviegoers and TV addicts with his roles in Pretty in Pink (1986) and Jack Frost, as well as his voice work on Duckman and appearances on Hollywood Squares.

		And when Dweezil Zappa was looking for sponsorship to upgrade the family studio — known as the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen — his contact at AMD, Charlie Boswell, turned out to be a life-long Frank Zappa fan, and was only too keen to work out a deal.
		Dweezil explains that the studio rebuild had to happen for a number of reasons, including work on the vast archive of his father's recordings.
		Dweezil Zappa's own musical projects have run up against the limitations of technology in the past, and although the learning curve is steep, he's finding that his new DAW setup is enabling him to overcome problems that were insoluble with older equipment.

		The first project Dweezil approached was a live recording of a 1978 Halloween concert recorded at the New York Palladium.
		Dweezil and engineer Joe Chiccarelli found the master tapes, baked them, and transferred it into Nuendo.
		Credited as produced by Frank Zappa and Dweezil Zappa, it includes a bunch of quad mixes that Frank did over the years, starting as early 1970.

	Dweezil Zappa
		Produced by Dweezil (who served the same role for his solo offerings), most of the 19 songs on Music For Pets were written by the elder Zappa sibling, although some key assistance was provided by Ahmet whose tendency towards complex Iyrical terrorism further lends credence to the frontman's slightly skewed take on the world.
		While Ahmet had made appearances on all of Dweezil's albums, it wasn't until 1992's Shampoohorn, the first record under the Z moniker, that he made his debut as a frontman/lead vocalist.
		Dweezil's Van-Halen-inspired guitar style "walks that fine line between accuracy and sloppiness, stupid and clever," while Ahmet cites Phil Anselmo of Pantera, Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, and even Kate Bush as among his vocal icons.

		Zappa subsequently took a break from solo recording; he worked in television for a time, composing the theme song to the sadly short-lived Ben Stiller Show and voicing the character of Ajax on the brilliant USA Network animated series Duckman.
		In addition to his work as a session guitarist, Zappa busied himself with Happy Hour, a TV show for the USA Network co-hosted with Ahmet which debuted in 1999, and his first solo album in nine years, 2000's mostly instrumental Automatic.
		Following Automatic, Dweezil fell back out of the public eye and rededicated himself to learning guitar, changing his style a bit and adopting many of his father's picking techniques.

		If Dweezil Zappa takes pride in intoning the name made famous by his late father, the legendary Mothers of Invention frontman and '60s counterculture icon Frank Zappa, it doesn't show.
		Dweezil is a study in quiet and humility — unlikely traits for a firebrand six-string virtuoso whose best-known album is entitled My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama, never mind the son of a famously misanthropic rock star whose own work included Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Uncle Meat.
		On the first hole today, Zappa coolly draws the ball some 265 yards down the middle, smooths an 8-iron to 22 feet and ho-hums the snake into the cup for birdie.

		Zappa added, "It's amazing how same-model microphones have very distinct characteristics, because of the subtleties of the capsules and the choice and condition of the tubes.

		Zappa always claimed that Varèse's music was a huge influence on him, so maybe the years of listening to FZ prepared me for this disc.
		Zappa signed the a cappella singing group The Persuasions to his record label in 1969 and helped them record their first album.

		Zappa's children -- Moon, Dweezil, their younger brother Ahmet and their younger sister Diva -- were involved with their father's music in various ways from young ages.
		(Given Zappa's relentless recording and touring, it may have been the only way to bond with him; Moon has said that she suggested the idea for "Valley Girl" via a note slipped under the door of his recording studio.) All four shared writing or performing credits on Zappa songs from the '70s and '80s.

		Omdat het ziekenhuis, waar Dweezil geboren is, weigerde de naam Dweezil te accepteren, heeft hij eerst Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa geheten.
		Hij schrijft, ook daarin lijkt hij op zijn vader, ietwat onconventionele nummers en teksten, zoals dat te horen is op "Shampoo Horn" (1993) en "Music For Pets" (1996), de twee albums, die hij maakte met de groep Z (ookwel gekscherend AZ/DZ genoemd), waarvan ook zijn broer Ahmet deel uitmaakte.
		Naast zijn muzikale carrière, heeft Dweezil bovendien ook nog in films gespeeld (The Running Man, Pretty In Pink) en televisie gepresenteerd (voor onder meer MTV).
