That's great that Dweezil's doing the right thing by making sure Frank's Roxy DVD comes out before his. I know for myself, if a ZPZ Roxy DVD came out first, I would be personally boycotting it until the real thing is here. It's like FZ Roxy is a MUST HAVE. ZPZ Roxy is just something nice to have in the collection.
This is an example where fans of FZs music seem to have so much built up animosity.
If so, so what? Are you afraid of animosity? Is it Real Bad? If you are thinking of starting an Anti-Animosity club, please count me as against it.

By now we should all know that the FZ ROXY DVD project is one that has a given set of unknown circumstances.
Who knows the condition of all the audio and video and what can be produced from whatever exists.
Who knows? That is your response to a product teaser released in 2003? It is only reasonable to expect that a little more information is owed to the customer after this many years.

I remain cautiously optimistic. Yes it is something most of us want very much but in the end my thoughts have always been
the final product will be something that is quite different from our impression from an album that has overdubs on it.
This is the essence of the Trendmonger. I find that it compares nicely as a verifying confirmation of a post of his, from another thread:

It displays a willful inibility to react to to the content of the material. In fact, Trendmonger's posts are largely without specific personal reaction. Sure, we get his
occasionally interesting, generally unconvincing history lessons and such. The regular tracts dedicated to proving that he has heard a bunch of people talk about electronics as they are related to music. But it all seems to be an obsession rather than a passion or even the object of intellectual curiousity. This results badly for one set to study, which amazingly is one thing that Trendy does try to do alot of. There seems to be no personal response to anything that he enounters past the vetting required to prove the pedigree of the source. If its Official, then its Great, if not, its somehow less. Detachment can be a useful tool at times, but I would argue that it is not much of a way of life. Or more specifically, good as evidence of one's response to one's preferences in MUSIC.

While the basic framework of FZs ROXY and ZPZs The SN Of ROXY is conceptually aligned it is easy to see
that the basic compositions and arrangements are not all one in the same.
There are some obvious conceptual connections that deservedly give the SON of project it's name
but all this hostility and boycott maneuvers show what I think is a severe disservice
to the music Frank Zappa created.
Finishing in GREAT Trendmonger style, we see some full throttle Cheerleading.
When a player messes up, the Cheerleader won't count it against him or fear him doing so again in the future. The slate is ALWAYS clean. On to the next cheer. We're the BEST! Why? Because everyone else isn't! (Such a positive person) Because that's what all the other Cheerleaders agreed on! Because that is what is on the signpost ahead, can't you read?
Now, Trendy, go paint another ton of posters.

. It's not childish, or political. I'm just saying, I'm in no hurry for another ZPZ DVD, but really would like the original Roxy DVD, or any official audio/video release. What the fuck is so hard to understand about that? Now wait and watch Trend-oloid go on and over analyze my statement.
