They totally were. Steve Vai, Ruth Underwood, Terry Bozzio, George Duke, Ike WIllis, so many of them were foremost talent of the era and have stories about how nervous they were auditioning for Zappa. He composed most of his music in hotel rooms on tour, the practice sessions were intense, and there's a song Zappa named after his own sheet music called "The Black Page." Though he definitely listed toward more classical compositions in his late career with the Yellow Shark Orchestra, this band really is the answer to "What if you got the best musicians you could find to play the most sneakily-complicated music imaginable and it's just a shitpost calling you a copelord."

Fortunately the DJ announced artist and album at the end of the song rather than the beginning, and from that moment on, I knew I was gonna love it, it's a way of life!
