Favorite Dweezil Zappa Quotes

1. "Yes, but I view Frank's music as fully composed. In other words, the arrangements can work for any idiom such as a rock band or an orchestra. Frank was a brilliant arranger and could make his music work in any context. He proved that tour after tour and album after album." ~ Dweezil Zappa

2. "Frank's bands could play the hardest stuff and make it seem like no big deal." ~ Dweezil Zappa

3. "I'm game for anything fun." ~ Dweezil Zappa

4. "On the average, I don't spend more than 15 minutes in the car - to go to the golf course or the gym. And that's the only time I listen to the radio." ~ Dweezil Zappa

5. "The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship." ~ Dweezil Zappa

6. "Well, I haven't been doing that much work with other people per se. I started doing more of that." ~ Dweezil Zappa

9. "If there's some work to be done that seems like it will be fun, I'll do it. I don't take anything seriously at all." ~ Dweezil Zappa

10. "About the only thing that I'll probably end up doing is I made this amplifier with Peavey. It's in the manufacturing stages right now, and there are a lot of orders that we just got for it." ~ Dweezil Zappa

11. "And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not." ~ Dweezil Zappa

12. "But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good." ~ Dweezil Zappa

13. "I didn't really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12. My recollection of hearing other music was that I liked some things that I heard but I always thought, 'Where's the rest of it?' It didn't have the same amount of detail or instrumentation or imagination in the arrangements." ~ Dweezil Zappa

14. "I know my name gets used illegally all the time all over the internet. You know, it is a trademarked name, so it will be something that we always have to deal with. I never needed to change it. It was always fine with me. It is a strange name; that's for sure." ~ Dweezil Zappa

15. "The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients, and somebody's going to make it better than somebody else, and that's the creativity of it. It's like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece, and somebody's gonna play it better." ~ Dweezil Zappa

16. "While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor, he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory." ~ Dweezil Zappa

17. "I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs." ~ Dweezil Zappa

Today's Quote

No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history's organic agents, its yeast. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries."
