My main problem with the fucker to begin with, it was OK whatever his drug of choice was, just no one else's.
Which is primarily like a dictatorship rule, a la Captain Beefheart and shit. Which is bullshit also.
Music should be free and experimental, people who take their music too seriously should seriously look at music again and see how wondrous and expansive it can be.
With or without drugs, music is music and it hits peoples ears in ways only words cannot, so who cares which drugs are infused into it.
It was his band, and he was entitled to use whatever criteria he thought were necessary to achieve his desired results.
I tend to agree with your sentiment, but I cannot find fault with Zappa's proven results, vis a vis the number of excellent bands that he formed over many years.

Ha, these guys were very good close friends of mine and I housed them when
they were in town for days. I got all kinds of pictures of us together getting crazy
and such. We were very close back in the day and too bad Jons bro Criss died young.
They were very friendly guys and loved to smoke pot big time. I have pics
of them bonging out etc... in my home as well.

He has lost around 100lbs so far getting ready for the savatage reunion this year.

Too cool! ^
Back in the day and now you didn't/don't see/hear many Power Metal bands such as early Savatage
that's for sure. A rare genre. Early HEXX and Powermad were 2 other killer Power Metal bands
if you've heard of them.
