In today’s episode, we had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dweezil Zappa in his home!
This was rather exciting for me because Dweezil is about to go on tour with what is one of the greatest (almost) instrumental albums of all time!
“Hot Rats” has one guest appearance by Captain Beefheart in "Willie the Pimp."
The tour will Include Dweezil’s band playing the entire "Hot Rats" album in sequence live on stage along with some other songs that are from his father Frank Zappa’s album called “You are what you is”

Zappa plays Zappa was incredible
Yes! Wonderful!
The show we caught at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood Florida was Dream Theater, Zappa plays Zappa, Bigelf and Scale the Summit. Unbelievable show!
@@MichaelSmith-mc8ji that's great to hear!!
Hi Friends, Dweezil is an amazing musician with a pedigree that can only be equalled by a handful of people. I am very excited to see 'Hot Rats' Live! Who would you like me to interview next? Let me know below!
Steve Hunter, known along with Dick Wagner (RIP) as the "usual suspects"... bet he has some awesome stories.
David Berman
Warren, what a great conversation. This did not come across like an " Interview". It felt like someone did a great secret video of a personal conversation, and now the rest of the world can benefit from.
Well done hermano!
King's X!
I know you already interviewed Michael Beinhorn so why not Bill Laswell?
Said Casually "I'm hanging with Dweezil Zappa." 😀🤣😂🤩
Yes, it was an amazing privilege indeed! To be able to talk about his and his father's music is a huge pleasure!
@@Producelikeapro Well deserved Warren. You're a great interviewer because of your knowledge of music / producing.
@Jason Voorhees if you were referring to Ahmet, I'd agree.
this is fantastic. dweezil is just an incredibly musician doing a great service to keep the memory of his dad's music alive. he's also one of the nicest humans in the rock and roll business.
Yes! Agreed 100%!!
Warren, what a great interview. What I love and respect about Dweezil is he carries the torch of Frank's music without riding coat tails. He earns all the kudos through hard work and atrention to details.
sunboyfun so well put! I agree 100% my friend!!
So glad they're doing Heavenly Bank Account, one of the greatest underrated Zappa songs.
Great that Dweezil is keeping Frank's music alive... he was a Titan.
Yes, agreed 100% Michael!!
What this man can do with a guitar is incredible! One part genetics, and one part talent.. The legacy continues..
Lary
Yes, I was very impressed! Dweezil is a 'chip off the old block' as we say back home!
Didn't see this one coming. It's a busy few weeks for me, but I stop by for a for a PLAP fix, and it's Dweezil. I never saw Frank, but I have see ZpZ a couple of times and I've never known such a glorious tribute, such a perfect reason for bringing the music alive, again. And, Dweezil's considerable work at playing parts that were never guitar parts - some incredible achievement in that, alone. Every Frank Zappa fan should see and hear the album rercreations Dweezil does. The effort is exemplary, the love, apparent. Thanks
I’m so glad you interviewed Dweezil Zappa. I’d seen Frank Zappa several times in the 70’s. My friends and I were all teenage prog-rockers and Zappa was mind blowing in so many ways. The last time I saw Frank play was Halloween, 1977.
The first time I saw Dweezill perform was exactly 30 yrs later to the day. From the opening notes, my jaw dropped and I was treated to a solid 3hrs of Zappa’s incredible music brought to life in a way I’d never have imagined. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. It must also be said that Dweezil Zappa is one if the finest electric guitar players on the planet, with a team of virtuoso musicians beside him.
I’ve seen Dweezil now, on 6 or 7 tours, when he comes through NY. Each time I try to turn someone new on to a Zappa show. I can’t wait to see them this time around! Thank you Warren.
Cheers - Tim
Tim Brannigan wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing your experiences!! I really appreciate it
Dweezil is a talker! I love when he opened up and shredded at the end there, that was the highlight for me.
This was such a treat to see!
Great interview! Frank Zappa is a legend! Dweezil does an awesome job with his Dad's music, and he's such a nice guy!
Still remember when my record store guy said “you gotta hear this record”. Heavy rotation ever since.
have seen him 3 times and there my 3 favorite concerts ever!😀😀😀
I love the styrofoam amp stand. Genius and utility
Yes! Straightforward and smart!!
Great interview Warren. Dweezil is an amazing musician in his own right and I've seen him in the last 12 months and the music was at times jaw dropping. He seems like a top bloke too.
Hi adam872 that’s amazing to hear!
Wow, I'm so much impressed by the detailed recherche Dweezil puts into recreating this awesome guitar tones and sounds. Great interview. Thank you ever so much!
Saw them twice on the last tour in the UK. A totally unique and amazing music experience! Already got tickets for the next tour and really looking forward to it. Great interview and vid! Cheers. :-)
what a great lineage of real musical talent. Amazingly difficult just getting Frank's sounds on the guitar, the rig seems to handle all the layers easy. Good luck to D Z on the tour and thanks Warren
Awesome interview! Im a big fan of instrumental music, so this is great. Thanks!
Me too! Thanks ever so much! Yes, Dweezil rules!!
I only just found this, and I have watched many a plap video! I met Dweezil in Glasgow a number of years ago after a live performance, what a treat!
My god Warren you've outdone yourself! Dweezils work couldn't be more appreciated. just wish he'd come to germany more often
Mous tache you’re very kind my friend! Yes, it’s a real privilege to be able to hang out with Deeezil and learn so much! I’m a huge fan of what he is doing!
That was sooooo inspirational. I love Frank's music and was fortunate enough to hear him live a few times, opened my ears to what is possible in blending musical styles; having George Duke, Ruth and Ian Underwood playing such rocking music. Dweezil is such a wonderful player and hearing him say that Frank could hear something in other's playing that they couldn't hear, and being able to bring that out in them was very touching. Thank you so much Warren. Doing these interviews really helps me in so many ways and I appreciate you and all who work with and for you.
P.S. Would love it if you could do a remote from the synth-guy's place in Pennsylvania; he sounds amazing.
Love the fact that Dweezil keeps his Dad's legacy alive and follows in his foot steps.
the tickling of the cymbal stories is easily one of the funniest things iv ever heard!
" you gotta get outta here" ha ha awesome. Thanks Warren and Dweezil, overall inspiring interview.
Man I would love to visit that museum he went to!
I saw him play in Cardiff a few years ago fantastic band.
Warren for President!
Love that pedal box and also that custom rack. As to his guitar tones, well, I'm sure they sound better in a live setting...
This was wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks ever so much!
On ya nice one Dweezil
Thanks for producing this Warren. Your out put is epic.
I remember buying Hot Rats at an used record store. My life has never been the same 👍
I remember buying as well! Great album!
I got to see this Hot Rats show back in Feburary. Incredilbe show.
*speechless*
Dweezil is a beautiful human.
This video, once into it, was just beautiful!
Thanks so much Dweezil and Warren!
So nice to give me the feeling of having a chat with Dweezil, thanks!
You're very welcome my friend!!
This whole conversation/demonstration is great, but the "holy shit!" moment for me was at 40:26 when he turns into Sugarcane Harris
Haha yes!! Agreed! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Warren, You looked as giddy as I felt watching this. What recognition for your guitar playing! Endorsed by DWEEZIL, son of FRANK. It would have been amazing to see you both playing duelling Guitars! 😁 🎸
I know!! Amazing!! I would love to duel!!
You need to set up another get together with Dweezil and do it. How could he turn you down? Go on, you know you want to. 😁
Speechless 🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks ever so much Ryan!!
AMAZING Interview!! So good!!
Thanks ever so much!
Wow! Thanks Warren. Only the best yet again! I owe you a pint for putting up this one. Zappa R Us
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Thank YOU Warren. PLAP just gets better with every upload. I mean - DWEEZIL ZAPPA!! 😁👍🏻
@@valium-fm7236 Why do I feel the need to toss "Joe's Garage" on the turntable?
@Demag Great choice! that was the album that got me into Zappa back in the 1980s.
So good! Thanks Warren and Dweezil, you Rock!!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Thanks for this. LOVE Dweezil. Great guy too!
That was awesome! Thanks so much to you both!
Wow, what a great interview! Zappa and his band (especially George Duke) is such a hkuge influence on everything I've done musically. Hot Rats is one of my favorite albums too, I've got to see if they are coming my way.
This is what happens when your father is Frank Zappa and EVH stops by to give you guitar lessons...awesome interview!!!
Wonderful combination indeed!
@@Producelikeapro ...next time you see him get him to tell you about EVH being the sound man for his high school rock band!
Top notch content as usual Warren! you and Rick Beato have the best music related channels out there imo
Dweezil is so cool and smart i could listen to him talk or play for hours! Thank you ever so much :) peace from Paris, France
Really appreciated this video. This was the kind of guitar hour, players like me only dream about. Really loved being able to see how Dweezil plays the pieces from Hot Rats, which I have the music book for, but getting valuable information like where about's on the neck Dweezil likes to play the sections and his techniques for vibrato, bends and slides is priceless. Thank you so much for putting this video together I really appreciate it. I've been eyeing off Dweezil's Fractal setup and am hoping to get one of the smaller units. Perhaps I will not be able to do everything Dweezil can with the 3 there but as long as I have the ability to get some of the core Zappa sounds I'd be ecstatic. Hope I can get state side to see one of these shows as Hot Rats is without doubt my all time favorite Frank Zappa album (and yes I own the 128 main releases and more and love each and every album. Hot Rats is just so special because it has such contrast between the pieces and is a real labour of love set of Frank Zappa compositions and it radiates this in the incredible playing featured on the album. It must have been a pain staking album to put together at the time. I've got 3 versions of the album in different formats and all of them have great aspects to offer.)
Great video Warren. Crazy tones and playing. Not to be an "expert" but it's Mississauga (no W). I'm there right now! Haha
Rick Rosberg haha that’s ok! I am very fallible to say the least! Thanks for the clarification
Wow, that organ layer was crazy. Great stuff, Warren : )
Agreed 100% Sheila!!
What a fantastic interview!.. Well done
Hi John Porter thanks ever so much my friend!!
!! Truely special !!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
fantastic interview and guest. Got such a strong laugh out of me when he told the story of the carpenter.
Amazing interview Warren! You continually manage to keep the bar high! So impressed with your channel. The interviews alone or gear covered and knowledge shared are incredible. The combination makes your channel the best imo! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks ever so much my friend! I'm glad to be able to help my friend to cover really interesting and important topics and incredible musicians!!
Oh shit i forgot my absolute favourite is this one "I wanna be dead in bed please kill me, cause that would thrill me". Love those vocal harmonies, and just the general uplifting feel to such a depressing lyric, hahaha!
This is so great! 😍
Absolutely Fantastic interview Warren & Dweezil . The guitar layers sound great & i wouldn't mind getting my hands on those Impulse Responses......Have a word with Dweezil please Warren haha . i am a Massive Zappa fan . i collected over 60 Vinyl LPs from 1985 - 2012 . i got to see Zappa in 88 at The NEC Birmingham .What a Gig . ive seen Dweezil's band lots of times, i also had the pleasure to meet them after a superb gig in Liverpool . What a Gent young Zappa really is, There were some amazing performances from the You Are What You Is album that nite . The whole gig was superb . There was a guy at the end who asked Dweezil to sign a Zappa album for him, he said can you write this please? Always remember, Broken Hearts Are For Assholes! haha . everyone just burst out laughing, esoecially Dweezil ha . another great nite . Thanks Dweezil & Warren very enjoyable to watch
Unbelievable. Amazing stuff! Saw Dweezil's dad in Pittsburgh once. I think it was 1988.
That's amazing! I'm sure it was a great show!
@@Producelikeapro It was astonishingly great! I didn't recall this, but apparently there were two shows in Pittsburgh: one in 25 February 88 and the other 8 March 88. Trying to find set lists of which I attended. I do know that it was one of his last tours ever. The shows were recorded from various cities and released on three CDs.. "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life," "Broadway the Hard Way," and "Make a Jazz Noise Here."
you are what you is is the first Zappa album I got.
Interesting...the preamps that recorded Smoke on the Water, with the lyric...Frank Zappa and the Mothers ..... Enjoyable video...again!
4 amps, he said. I used to plug my guitar in my Pignose after listening to FZ's record. Dweezil didn't mention that one.
I saw him Live with "Zappa plays zappa" and it was simply wonderful. He plays way different then frank but that makes everything somehow fresh and i like that he has his own style and does not try to imitate frank
Frank wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly I think in the later half of his career he was a bit bored of his own guitar "sound" and started experimenting with using fireballs like Steve Vai and the like, to give him access to a wider pallette of sounds for his guitar compositions. Frank was Amazing as a guitarist. Dweezil is Amazing. But both in different ways. Franks style is rooted heavily in blues, whereas Dweezil is definately a child of the post eddie van halen era. And its all great.
@@shayneoneill1506 True :) For me Dweezils solos are more fluent and melodic and franks were rhythmically different, he had more stops, experimented more and it was edgier ... it is hard to describe but i like both for their own reasons :)
No "W" in Mississauga. That was so funny.
Wow, some real interesting tones! I don't know much about the original Zappa albums but sounds cool
It seems to me that Producing Like A Pro really involves all things music. While there wasn't any mixing advice in this interview, this was all about everything else. Most of us will never be able to have these sorts of experiences so it's invaluable that we get to at least get to touch on the morals of the story.
That is to say, "Great interview!" Thanks!
Awesome interview.......
Wow!!
I saw Dweezils band last year. Honestly I didn't go in with high expectations. Boy was I wrong. That band was fucking phenomenal, and pulled off even the notoriously hard Black Page *perfectly*. No 'first song sloppyness', nothing. From the first to the last this band just smashed it. I dont know much about Dweezils own compositions, but as a band leader and guitarist he's definately his fathers son. And story has it , he's much nicer to his musicians than frank was lol (Frank was renowned as a harsh bandleader with a very low tolerance for errors)
You spoil us Warren. You really do. :-)
You are what you is .....gr8 record.
Dweezil the man!
Yes! Agreed!
Yes! Awesome! You made my day, Warren!
Thanks very much!
@@Producelikeapro You're welcome.
@Warren I truly appreciate your comment about being anxious about your art. I have been threatening to release some music for a few years. I obviously don't expect to set the world on fire, but it's something I've wanted to do for myself. Double-guessing myself has been the enemy. It helps when I hear established folks share their insecurities.
As always, thanks for the content. Dweezil's attention to detail is awe-inspiring.
Warren make a business deal with Dweezil and sell those impulses good damnit!! WoW
Cool that you apologized for the audio drop, but you did an awesome job cleaning it up in post production!
One of your more guitar centric interviews. The Axe is insanely popular right now. You’re right. Zappa strikes me as very European Prog, Stanley Kubric style. Dweezil’s right, you are insanely good at guitars. Man this was awesome. Thank you Warren & Dweezil.
Did Stanley Kubric play guitar then?
Pat,
Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 - March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in cinematic history. His films, which are mostly adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres, and are noted for their realism, dark humor, unique cinematography, extensive set designs, and evocative use of music.
Kubrick was raised in the Bronx, New York City, and attended William Howard Taft High School from 1941 to 1945. He only received average grades, but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age, and taught himself all aspects of film production and directing after graduating from high school. After working as a photographer for Look magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making short films on a shoestring budget, and made his first major Hollywood film, The Killing, for United Artists in 1956. This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas, the war picture Paths of Glory (1957) and the historical epic Spartacus (1960). His reputation as a filmmaker in Hollywood grew, and he was approached by Marlon Brando to film what would become One-Eyed Jacks (1961), though Brando eventually decided to direct it himself.
Creative differences arising from his work with Douglas and the film studios, a dislike of the Hollywood industry, and a growing concern about crime in America prompted Kubrick to move to the United Kingdom in 1961, where he spent most of the remainder of his life and career. His home at Childwickbury Manor in Hertfordshire, which he shared with his wife Christiane, became his workplace, where he did his writing, research, editing, and management of production details. This allowed him to have almost complete artistic control over his films, but with the rare advantage of having financial support from major Hollywood studios. His first British productions were two films with Peter Sellers, Lolita (1962) and Dr. Strangelove (1964).
A demanding perfectionist, Kubrick assumed control over most aspects of the filmmaking process, from direction and writing to editing, and took painstaking care with researching his films and staging scenes, working in close coordination with his actors and other collaborators. He often asked for several dozen retakes of the same scene in a movie, which resulted in many conflicts with his casts. Despite the resulting notoriety among actors, many of Kubrick's films broke new ground in cinematography. The scientific realism and innovative special effects of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) were without precedent in the history of cinema, and the film earned him his only personal Oscar, for Best Visual Effects. Steven Spielberg has referred to the film as his generation's "big bang", and it is regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. For the 18th-century period film Barry Lyndon (1975), Kubrick obtained lenses developed by Zeiss for NASA, to film scenes under natural candlelight. With The Shining (1980), he became one of the first directors to make use of a Steadicam for stabilized and fluid tracking shots. While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release-particularly A Clockwork Orange (1971), which Kubrick pulled from circulation in the UK following a mass media frenzy-most were nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical reevaluations. His last film, Eyes Wide Shut, was completed shortly before his death in 1999 at the age of 70.
Pretty cool❣️😃
Ya baby!!!! I'm sitting in Mississauga right now.
you mean missisawgwa? lol
@@dustinthiessen now it's official name :)
I was really into Joe's Garage
Great, detailed interview. Was city of tiny lites really a big radio hit? I had no idea
I suppose for me it was big hit! Haha
He should use a Line 6 Helix instead of the Axe fx. He’d have amazing models of his pedals onboard too, as well as being able to import Impulse responses. plenty of processing power too.
Love cian coey vocals!!
As far as the "guy in Pennsylvania" with all the keyboards and other gear, I live in Pennsylvania. Would love to offer my assistance if it's logistically feasible. I'm northeast, a few hours above Philadelphia.
genio!!
Yes, indeed!
DZ is one badass mega-talented guitar player! Pigmy Twylyte (live) anyone?? can't w8 to see the Hot Rats tour this year, tickets secured, have seen ZpZ a few times b4, but the HR tour will be very cool... Zappa4Life!
YES!!! NICE WARREN, But where is St Alphonzos Pancake breakfast? I Imagine it would be a nice place. Love pancakes
Very grounded musician. Imagine?
I'd like to know more about the guy in Pennsylvania Dweezil mentioned. Is the museum called MEAP? I tried googling it but nothing came up. Also I couldn't quite make out the name of the man who owns/runs it. Was it Papillo?
I remember Jeff Porcaro said that he has declined Frank's invitation a few times.
My favorite Frank Zappa song has to be Pojama people.
HOT RATS 🔥🐀 🐀RULES 🎸
ministerofdarkness agreed! Love that album!!
Anybody else catch the name of the music equipment museum @ 10:52?
Man, we are all going to have to send our amps to the museum soon...axefx all through the industry now....it is kind of disappointing for us old schoolers
Was supposed to go see him in a few weeks, alas this fucking Coronavirus has shut it all down. :(
What's the pickup in the neck position of your SG?
It’s a sustainiac.
'Don't you..jiz on my couch!' ahem. *
Why cant Dweezil make a good solo album? Amazing player.
You have to remember us Canadians say everything like dumb people. It's [Ter-on-a] and [miss-is-saw-guh] ;)
Produce Like A Pros audio drop not Dweezil's! To be honest there wasn't much of one anyway lol
