how cool would it be to grow up with frank zappa, eddie vanhalen and steve vai at your disposal to teach you guitar?

Releasing "My Mother Is A Space Cadet" with your sister at 12 or 13 or whatever

At the age of 15 or so........... being listed in the credits of "Stevie's Spanking" as co-lead guitarist with Steve Vai

Watching a constant parade of world-class musicians showing up at the house and wailing in the studio on a daily basis

Knocking boots with Molly Ringwald

Not a bad life.

If you ever see a copy his disc "Havin' A Bad Day"..... get it. The tune "I Want A Yacht" features Bobcat Goldwaithe doing vocals. The whole disc is very good.

That is a cool story and video - until that David Lee Sloth kook comes out... I actually made my mom watch that video this Christmas, lmfao she was a big Zappa fan when I was a kid. Frank must be proud, Dweezil has really come into his own with his playing, seems like a cool guy, too.

Best eruption aside from Eddie himself! What a great life, and so talented.

A couple years ago I had the honor of hanging out in the amp production area at the PRS factory while Dweezil tested out some of their new amps. He was cranking them to 10 and just crushing Van Halen riffs for about 90 minutes. It sounded amazing, and to this day was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure my ears are still ringing too. Laughing

Man, not only does Dweezil cop the feel, but the tone is spot on too. It's like listening to the record. I think that's all AxeFX too!!
