Yeah, this is sad - the most talented musician among them can’t use his last name in an obvious tribute band that garners notoriety for the legacy of his father/father’s estate.
This is stupid squabbling by family members with a napoleon complex. They are blinded by something - perhaps it is jealousy.
I always kind of wondered what happened between Dweez and Ahmet, they’d done a couple of albums together, done a lot of work together. Then Ahmet had a messy divorce that pulled him out of ZPZ and they haven’t done anything together since. Ahmet’s actually a pretty good keyboardist, he was better than Dweez until Dweez retained Frank Gambale to relearn the guitar from scratch.
Just so long as ZPZ keeping touring under any name and the catalog stays available in high quality.
