Alphonse Mouzon's Mind Transplant featuring Alex Skolnick, Rhonda Smith, S. Weingart "Nitroglycerin"

[@TheRealAlexSkolnick]

Alphonse! Amazing to see you on here. We all KNEW you did that to get a special performance...and it worked! We were kept on our toes and it was a a blast, true honor & pleasure. Anytime you want to hit again, I'm up for it! Everyone - be sure to check out Alphonse's album that has this tune, "Mind Transplant." Also check out his awesome work on Al Di Meola's "Land of the Midnight Sun" (w the late great Jaco Pastorius)

[@fusionfan6883]

Amen to that and RIP the great AM

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Good stuff….have the vinyl and was wondering if it was on YT. Looking to downsize. 100’s of classic from 70’s. This is cool,

[@michaelbrickley2443]

By the way, you did real justice in the guitar work.

[@cornucopia8591]

God bless memory of wonderful Alphonse Mouzon and Tommy Bolin!

[@alphonsemouzon]

Thanks Alex. We wil do it again man. The band sounded great! See at NAMM 2014. I might also post the 3 songs from MIND TRANSPLANT that we played "live" at NAMM 2013. I wish we had an hour to play! But 3 songs are better than none! Keep on wailing on your guitar my friend!

[@magn8195]

RIP legendary Alphonse Mouzon.

[@andrewreid3871]

Your work with Larry Coryell lives with me forever. Rest in peace Alphonse and Larry 🥁 🎸

[@carlosabad6596]

Awesome !! Alex Skolnick and Mouzon playing together is simply amazing !! And playing Tommy Bolin stuff no less !!

[@chuckherrera3839]

I was brought here because I just saw Alphonse Mouzon in a cool scene of him playing and soloing from the movie “That Thing You Do” I was lucky enough to be able to go to The Roxy on Sunset and see fusion drummers like Lenny White, Billy Cobham, , Steve Gadd, Tony Williams, Jeff Porcaro,, Peter Erskine unfortunately not Alphonse or Jack DeJohnette . Thanks for posting this video.

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

RIP Alphonse Mouzon...

I love Alphonse Mouzon! My teacher and friend. Thank You

Thanks a Million Nikki.

[@Oneness100]

Alphonse Mouzon Hey Alphonse. Have you ever worked with Gary Paulson? He used to play with Zawinul Syndicate. I always thought he was an interesting player. Also, How the HECK do you play drums with high platform shoes? :-) I saw you play with 11th house when you opened up for RTF at Berkeley during their No Mystery Tour. I noticed you were playing with HUGE platform. My friends and i had a chuckle over it. Anyways, I've enjoyed your playing, I've most of your albums, I think you're great, and "You ARE, my biggest fan." I couldn't resist adding that quote. I thought you'd get a kick. :-)

[@alphonsemouzon]

Yes I did get a kick out o e line you quoted from my movie with Tom Hanks called "THAT THING YOU DO. No, I've never worked with Gay Paulson. Yes, It was easy for me to play drums in High Platform Shoes and boots. I won't dare try to do that now!! Ha ha. www.tenaciousrecords.com

[@Oneness100]

Alphonse Mouzon Yeah, what's even better is I could use it with someone FROM the movie and that actual scene. Was he really drunk when he said the line and was he supposed to say it or did he just make it up on the spot? And how many times did he retake that scene? Keep the old fusion alive!

[@alphonsemouzon]

That line was written for him so say. The actor wasn't drunk as there was no alcohol on the movie set. I scored the music for the BLUE SPOT club scene. That was my piano playing on film that the actor was pretending to play. I had to play drums on film over my drum parts on the recording and that was hard to do when I took my drum solo. www.tenaciousrecords.com/Autographed-Drumssticks-Drumheads-Photos-Posters-CDs-Personal_Services.html

[@the_original_jt]

Love this. Great seeing Alex filling Tommy Bolin’s shoes. This is incredible stuff, although. I wish Alex was a tad higher in the mix.

[@RogerMFox-vw5cm]

...ALPHONSE!!!...Man, you sound great...Such a pleasure hear you crushin' it again...Peace & Love, Fox...

[@alphonsemouzon]

+Roger M. Fox Sorry about the delay in responding. Thanks so much Roger for your comment. www.tenaciousrecords.com/Autographed-Drumssticks-Drumheads-Photos-Posters-CDs-Personal_Services.html

Great to see you at NAMM 2016 and thanks for signing my Canopus Mouzon signature snare drum!

[@skeletonmakesgood]

They do. They do.

[@puresafe2011]

RIP Brother Alphonse !!

[@jasongartner570]

Love the style of music! It's a great sound to show some of Alex Skolnick's versatility. Shredding! Great drums! Awesome full group sound. The mix is fine. I love the pureness of it. The recurring triplet thing in the beat, with a strong use of the cymbals sounds cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@PennyLarson]

Um, that was sick! So amazing.

[@nuncacomimcdnds1826]

Parabéns Alex, você é como o Sepultura e o Angra, fazem a diferença na musica e na vida. Axé.

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Holy crap! Phenomenal! Skolnick Is blazing fast in this one!

[@chrisbrown3549]

Term is SHREDS. ALEX..SHREDS. AND W MUCH HEART N SOUL OF A CLASSICAL BLUES MAN. SUPERB TONE. ALWAYS.

[@devilshark6694]

Damn alex you should do more fusion stuff like this! Alphonse was a monster!

[@thomaslejon]

Steve weingart awesome !

[@duclier]

curtir muito o som dassa banda nos anos 70 ..vou pesquisar novamente não sei se é banda ou solo só sei que é muito bom..voltando a ouvir.

[@MadamOst]

Im guessing that when +TheRealAlexSkolnick posted this he never in a million years thought someone would 'accuse' him for not having Tommy Bolin in this vid..haha..

[@elbib2446]

bloody awesome

[@albertfish69]

amazing

[@bobkalkman2502]

I'm a big Bolin fan, Alex has the rock chops a jazz musician needs to cover Bolin. Excellent.

[@aj101pf69]

Awesome!

[@00govan00]

Very, very cool sorta context and riffs and groove and lil complimentary guitar part at the start, then the solo was nice heavy and out and distorted. I like uh you, Mr. Alex Skolnick.. have since the practice and souls days.. keep on keepin on. Unrelated, why do you think a player like Eric Clapton never desired to progress beyond the blues, or did he and Im just ignorant. ty

[@cruz2767]

R.I.P Alphonse Mouzon..

Interesting is it true that you went to Berkeley high School? 🗿🚬 Good job on this to I went and bought this album when it came out I know every inch of it 🤓

Awesome! Was that a nod to the Bond theme at 1.23?

[@miguelenguidanos5870]

This video editing is manic and unwatchable. The music is good.

[@ricksmith7881]

No one can fill Tommy Bolins shoes

[@TheRealAlexSkolnick]

Couldn't agree more

[@hotrods27]

pretty slick. They figured out what Jeff Beck has been doing for 30+ years.

[@patrickphelan9407]

This was recorded in 1974 which was 46 yrs ago.

[@hotrods27]

@@patrickphelan9407 The video says it was recorded Thurs Jan. 24th 2013.

[@dvswia1831]

I had a seizure watching this video.

[@Oneness100]

Whomever is doing the video editing needs to relax. It's HORRIBLE editing. It's a shame too.

[@totallye5150]

great song, and great solo alex. but the keyboards are way too powerful

[@YaoEspirito]

I lasted about 15 seconds. That camera editing is garbage!

[@ThomasBlomster]

Do you have ears? Don't watch!

[@fusionfan6883]

Be grateful that artists like this share their incredible music with the world - it's live and spontaneous and not some carefully edited official release - enjoy the music and get over yourself!

[@YaoEspirito]

@@fusionfan6883 It is carefully edited. And the approach they took was garbage, unfortunately.

[@tommystephenson5377]

TOMMY BOLI IS NOT IN THIS VID. THIS GUITAR PLAYER IS Playing way too much...............just a bunch of scales in his (solo) ha ha ha........no story tom tell with this guy........just allot of noise, same with the keys.........blows!!!!!!

[@Oneness100]

Tommy Stephenson I hear ya. What I found amusing is how the meanings of words have changed over the years. Back a long time, the word "blows" with conjunction to music was a good thing and now it's a bad thing.

[@MadamOst]

Tommy Stephenson your effort to sound smug and appear smart completely backfires on you because what you have really done is show the world that you cant read...

[@MadamOst]

Oneness100 Your just as much of a moron as the one who cant read.

[@Oneness100]

Madam Ost Name calling, how novel. I hope you didn't use too much brain capacity to formulate your put down. And what you base your name calling on? Oh and since you are being picky, how about adding an apostrophe when you type the word "can't". :-)

[@MadamOst]

Oneness100 Please show us where it says Tommy Bolin is in this vid?

[@theirritatedirishman5440]

Tommy Bolin and Alphonse Muzon what a FU(KING Combo!
