   > Have you ever seen ZPZ with the Dweez??  His band has come to my town a few   
   times in the past 5 years but I never went due to lack of funds.  The first   
   time he was here the reviews really slammed him.  I guess he made a lot of fun   
   of Davis Lee Roth (   
   who has been out of the limelight of 25+ years) & none of the reviewers could   
   understand as to why. They also did not like his "selection" of FZ tunes.    
   Perhaps because he did not play any of Frank's "Hits" (with a bullet)!     
      
   I've seen ZpZ 7 or 8 times now.   
      
   a) They play it like it was on the record for the most part, other than solos.   
      
   b) The players, including the Dweeze, are really quite impressive.   
      
   c) Dweezil as front man and master of ceremonies is not Frank.  He can only do   
   so much to cop his dad's attitude and for the most part he does not try.   
      
   d) If there's another guitar player there, Dweeze sometimes engages in "guitar   
   duels" with that person, which Frank mostly did not.  I don't think you'd   
   describe "Stevie's Spanking" as a guitar duel.
