David brighton and dweezil zappa..wow..amazing guys

This is amazing. Love Dweezil and his band

BOWIE and ZAPPA,hard to find talents today who reach them to the ankle.

WOW! I don't have enough words to describe how I feel about this amazing recording. I know Frank is up there smiling at the ideas of his son Dweezil now.

Holy shit Dweezil! What an awesome cover. It's eerie how much he sounds like David. Great innovative production. I'm sure Frank was and would still be extremely proud of you.

Mr Zappa .... I'm a young french musician, mid twenties. I hated today's world for years. I hated what society was. But I just discovered your dad, Frank Zappa. I went though most of his interviews ... I had a wonderful time doing it. It was like someone confirming my thoughts. Like hearing the things I wanted to hear for .... years ... "American" generic industrial culture has overwhelmed the world. It cannot sustain. It's bringing chaos. But thanks to Frank, I know there's other people. I know things will get better. I know the truth will come out. We learn. We share. I feel 100% boosted after what I heard and saw on youtube, because people shared Frank's thoughts. We're ok as long as we look for each other. And we do. Good luck, and thanks.

"American" generic industrial culture has overwhelmed the world. It cannot sustain. It's bringing chaos."..........?.......... I've heard this since WW2. The last time was the USA and Ronald Reagan and what happened? the Wall came down and millions in the East we're liberated and partied. Villains today? try Cultural Marx, Islamic terrorism, banking terrorism aka... International ISDA, SWAPS Casino BANKSTERS. ie,....Bankster Socialism and PC NWO Cultural Marx French people owe America for two world wars and the Marshal Plan. The USSR and PRC we're pacified and defeated by the Americans. Two socialist Marxist Nations that murdered by forced labor, starvation and disease 120 million human beings over 50 years. DEMOCIDE. The French Nation and people are still influenced by Marx, deconstruction , nihilism, narcissism, existentialism, socialism, egalitarianism and their Revolution produced the FIRST psychopathic mass murder by Government 200 years ago called DEMOCIDE. They left their colonies Korea and Vietnam that they exploited ruthlessly for Americans to worry about and they do nothing for their miserable ex Colony Haite. Yes, in America we love Frank Zappa, Democracy and apple pie. That's the truth about America. The dialectic of reason, not materialism, and the intellectual pathos of the bourgeoisie. In America we do not let the rich or poor define us.

Seen the video last night, purchased the song first thing this morning........speechless over the sonic/performance qualities......PURE ZAPPA!!!!!

Thank you ALL for throwing yourselves off that cliff and grinning clever the whole way down. This is SICK! The disarming 9/8 is appropriate, the vocal talents are perfectly present… I’m going to buy it now. Bowie 👨🏻‍🎤

I saw Frank five times but never did go see Dweezil. I do remember him as a little kid. Him and Moon. Their dad was awesome.

Love FZ and his music - went to his shows between 1980 and 1984. To this day, the 1981 show (Houston, Summit)- particularly the Drowning Witch solo into the "What's New in Baltimore" motif (knocking everybody down- jaw dropping) - stands out as probably THE greatest moment of musical appreciation I ever experienced. All in all, the Roxy Band / One Size Fits All period is my favorite. The man made some amazing music and we are better for it. Glad you're playing it and thanks for sharing this coolness, Dweezil!

I agree with you on Roxy Band is mu favorite as well.

What an absolute joy, Senor Dweezil. This is a wonderful behind-the-scenes, and oddly enough, probably my first Bowie appreciation moment.

Dweezil! Again, thanks & Wow! What a joy & inspiration. It's so refreshing & encouraging to see the in-process & in-progress work you record for posterity & the benefit of all. Keep on being you & enjoying ~

That 9/8 guitar riff is so so good - Well done guys x Frank would love this....awesome and credible and INCREDIBLE - Zappa all the way home baby !!!!

Great Deeezil !! David would be proud of the tribute Made by such a great musician in such an Amazing way!! Luv!!

Wow! This was waaay better than I thought it would be. And I thought it would be great. Loved seeing the innovative percussion. I was just fun to watch. Great song, awesome cover.

This is amazing, perfectly orchestrated. It creates positivity. Want more.

Dweezil youre becoming more and more like your Father and i love you for that. You love to experiment with sounds and instruments and You surround yourself with amazing young musicians that also have a sense of humour just like Frank did it between 1974 and 1984. Thank You Thank You Thank You for keeping the Legacy of your father alive. Oh before i forget i also love Your CD Go with what You know. Saw You Live in germany in like 2009. It was one of the Best concerts i ve ever been to,

Really amazing musical creativity!

Love ya Dweezil. Been revisiting your Pops interviews. So glad youre carrying on the Zappa legacy. Rock on.

Fucking awesome !! Saw Dweezil playing 'Whatever the Fuck he Wants' that summer in NZ, and it was just magical. He's so relaxed yet such a pro', and Cian Coey ? What a powerhouse !!

Impressed you chose a Bowie track! Two of my all time musical influences combined. Zappa family skills + Bowie originality. So nice to see how you put it all together. Makes me think about how hard your Dad must have worked, experimenting with sounds, and editing stuff together. I love it man. x

Great job!!! Love Bowie! You did this song justice!! Thanks for doing this!

The kid raised in the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen goes analog. Bravo.

Fantastic approach on a classic song. This is the way to do a cover song! Well done!

Definitely Frank's boy. RIP Frank!

Dweezil slam dunked this Bowie classic...WOW. Cian Coey is fire...wow that girl is hot. I’m so glad Dweezil did this...great band..great everything.

Bending the note on that rototom was like a UFO landing in my headphones. I came here from NIN live in Ontario doing this song. Bowie doing HURT live with NIN is other-worldly. See it. Bowie/Zappa fan since 1969~

Also- Dweezil's reaction to that Rototom turn was......"look what I found!"

I looooooooooooove this! Very nice touch with the 9/8 at the end! :-)

Cool stuff. Great song. Modern day Bowie classis. Great Dweezil!

your dad was one of very few things that made sense to me in this world ... and thank you for continuing him in a way.... I see him in you ... it's like magic, this life is ...and to see him alive in you, is magic to me

Marvellous. I believe David would most likely enjoy it.

Best B-Day ever! You rock, dude!

Man, that guitar riff is so cool ... it's haunting me

i LIKE it. Thanks for the "snapshot" of this moment. Peace!

World's collide!!! Zappa covers Bowie/Eno!!! Thanks again Dweezil!!!

Why this doesn't have more views is beyond me... maybe the thumbnail needs to be a shot of the whole band in the studio? I knew it would be awesome (because Dweezil) but I certainly didn't expect an entire "mini-doc" of a recording when I clicked on it

Peter Krueger because the Bowie and Nine Inch Nails versions aren’t so much better. Example...the drumming. Properly played its 16th notes on the hi hat. The song needs that groove in the verses. That’s just one technical reason. But it’s all about subjectivity isn’t it. Have you heard the Bowie and NIN versions?

Seen Zappa on Zappa show at the Norva , Norfolk Va. . there was a part in this gigantic Groove jam , it was like i'm not sure what going on but it was so heavy and true, then the chick on the sax brought it back around to standard time .Zappa rules . both Zappa's

This is magic !!!!!

Absolutely love this.

way fun!🥳thanx Dweeze😘🤗

DWEEZIL YOU THE MAN...WORKED THE STAGE FOR YOU AT CATSKILL CHILL, SO AWESOME

Cool vid. The song rocks. Thanks for both.

Magnificent through and through

Good stuff, Dweezal. I remember you from Little League Baseball Allstar Championships. The officials had to actually check your ID because suspected you were too old to play with us youngsters. You were a pitcher in the series. And a damn good one. Sorry to side note the music. But the memories came back when I saw this video in my recommendation. I've always loved your Father's music and his legendary political commentary. Glad to see you're carrying the torch! Peace. ✌👍🤟

A Bowie classic from over 20 years ago. Nicely done.

Frett ye not Dweezil us Brits would adopt you and your family / band / entourage in a heartbeat. Always welcome here. We miss Frank so much and we are passionate about everything from the Zappa progeny. I am always quoting Franks important anti censorship stance. I am sure Frank could've won the presedency against Mental Don and Beijing Biden.

Powerful. Timely.

The Telefunken U-47, was the am radio that was supplied with the original Volkswagon Beetle. It was given to a groupie as a present, by the roadies. (Ya can't make shit like this up. Frank could and did.) Now- take every single thing he ever said, and google it on wikipedia. People have written books about Frank's musings!?! What? Like- Frank was once asked, (On one of those late nite talkie shows: "Why did you name your daughter Moon Unit?" Frank's reply: "I was going to name her- Richard Milhouse Nixon- but I changed my mind." Frank was teaching young people, to think for themselves. (That is a great danger, for the powers that be.) It is something that is very noticeable- in every Frank Zappa fan that I ever met! Frank taught us- to look at every single thing, in as many ways as one could think of. And it is a pleasure to see- that Dweezil and Moon Unit, are just as thoughtful and articulate, as their Dad was! Thank you so much for putting this on- more, please.

SO cool. Go, Dweezil, go!

Dweezil's gotta nice smile

FTW! Your Dad was epic, Dweezil. You are on track to be just as good!

Loveya, Dweezil. Seriously.

Hay Dweezil, remember when your father was asked about his music being wierd? I remember him saying, "I never set out to be wierd, it was always other people who called me wierd. Awesome response!

Cool track that radio will never play.

Legacy history,and Dweezil defiantly

Excellence as usual

Vocals are uncanny and Zack Alford's drums sound really good on the original and sound great here too. Overall great cover

That was really cool!

Old school cool.

Boy, woulda loved to have been on this session. Looks like a real gas

As I sit here on the eve of the 2020 U.S. election.... I'm thinking what a sad state of affairs we're in... it's scary. And then here in my KZread feed... I'm afraid of Americans... how appropriate. Dumb all over... a little ugly on the side. I got turned on to you're dad's music when I went to college in 1980... I mean we had all listened to Apostrophe and yellow snow and what not in the mid 70's but at 16 years old in 1978, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and Van Halen ruled. I had a room mate in college that turned me on to Frank. We would start early and stay up all night listening to one after another... nothing but Frank, the more obscure the better, between as we had close to 50 Zappa albums. Now, I appreciate all of it and when Eddie Van Halen passed away, I discovered your music. I like it. In fact, I could stay up all night listening to it.

Weird but awesome I love it.

Love ya Dweezil

Music is THE BEST.

Such a cool 9/8 lick

Dweezil's so cool.🙂👍

Brilliant. A++

This Singer is a LOVELY Lad. Just Like Bowie Himself 💋

Dweezil Zappa is a musical fucking genius. Never mind that he’s Frank son. No disrespect to Frank as I love and respect him. Disregarding who his father is, he’s talented in his own right. I hope everyone can see this. Much love Dweezil.

Yes, Please!!

The vocal effects strongly remind me of Laurie Anderson

Very, very, fine. And just like your dad. Thanks.

Hello Dweezel... we met a few years ago in reno, next to a art car of mine.... THIS IS GREAT !!! you know i love your dads past... i think you are reading my mind, but this song has been on my mind a lot recently. this video came out before i knew about this. this a.i. thing / remote neural access / mind control thing is making me afraid. WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE ????? happy birthday/ new year !!!

There's that Zappaesq playfulness. Kudos.

"Fuck you, Captain Tom!" Is how, according to Adrain Belew, Frank expressed his displeasure when David Bowie poached Belew from Frank for his Isolar II world tour. Brian Eno gets the blame/credit for urging Bowie to check out Frank's brilliant stunt guitarist.

cool version...greetings from two musicians(sitar,tanpura) from hessen,germany...

Nice production! I especially like what you said about making decisions on the fly, and trying to recreate the work flow of an analog session. Thats the shit! analogue requires that A one knows their instrument, B has chops and C, is not afraid to commit.

Good lad-well done

As Dweezil gets older, he’s slowly transforming into Jason Priestley. Weird.

I was like "oh cmon NIN version way better ... ohhh hold up - the riff!!" Dope - beautiful aspect of music!

Great cover of Bowie's I'm Afraid Of Americans. HIs album Outside, the 4th album he produced with Brian Eno is under-rated, great record.

I've bookmarked this in my Music Folder: that sounds a bit arduous.

Zappa needs to play "Let's Talk about it" live. With Moon unit on vocals.

Video published on the anniversary of Bowie's passing. Nice touch

How can I loose this! Two Miths in one shot!

who done ""oh Superman-oh mum and dad",so cool to much for the UK,But I love it,can I join the band.

This is so funny that Frank Zappa hated David Bowie and his music, and Zappa's son decided to make a cover on Bowie's song! Anyway, sounds really cool, i like it.

FUN !

8:06 says the guy with eyes as RED as his shirt hahahaha yea i agree but as long as ya don't hurt anyone OR yourself rite? lol VERY KOOL D very kool, DEFFINATELY hi quality Zappa work man

Amazing !!! My English step father told me when he was in the British army, (WW2), they shit scared of the yank bombing!! Blue on Blue!!!

Hell man, anyone named Dweezil will probably be afraid of Raid! Just kidding dude, love papa Frank’s noise..CATHOLIC GIRLS. Man I need another beer

It's amazing that you made a 13 minute video about this song and neglected to mention Trent Reznor at all.

Good stuff only made better by some mention or homage and thanks to Bowie at the end.

Wonderful choice of songs. Even Americans are afraid of Americans.

Cool channel Bruh!

Freak me out. i'm big fan of you're father. Soon to be a fan of dweezil. Help me out here
