The Truth
Hi Dweezil,
I don't know if you will read this, but I just want to say Confessions is one of the greatest records ever. I must have listened to it 5000 times. I recently sat down and figured out a bunch of the songs and it made me love it even more. It's mind blowing you + Nuno were so young when you made that album. We are around the same age and that one has been with me ever since it came out. Please consider doing a vinyl release someday.
Also, Purple Guitar has some of the best guitar tone ever. Did you play that on a mini guitar, by any chance? Something seems slightly "off" when I try to figure it out.
Thanks for everything through the years. God bless you and everyone in this comment section.

Lian, totally agree with you about Confessions. Amazing album! Would have been really cool to hear Dweezil and Nuno do an episode about the album. Maybe after all the VH podcasts are done. I'm sure they have a ton of entertaining stories to share. I realize it's a ton of work, so it's probably not gonna happen.
Hey Daroka, that would be absolutely epic. I hope Dweezil sees your post and considers it. I would pay $50 for a conversation between him and Nuno. Maybe I am crazy, but goodness gracious, I love that record. One of these days I will get around to learning all the songs on there. Maybe even post some lessons somewhere...
Thanks guys! It would be fun to do something like one of these days. I did do a few recent video interviews with Shawn Ratches which go song by song for each of my records. They will be on the site soon as free video content. Maybe there will be some fun stories for you in the episode about Confessions. Best, DZ
