Frank Zappa/Terry Bozzio - Punky's Whips

[@girl-in-a-treehouse]

They ATE the audience alive with this performance. omg.. I don't get how this doesn't have millions of views. Everything about this is iconic af: Terry drumming ONE-HANDED while singing and sluzzing it right up, Adrian in his maxi dress and Zappas insane solo work.

[@Silent_Shadow]

I'm a drummer and when I was about 10 in the late 90s I found this DW drums special documentary at a pawn shop. My dad was also a drummer so he bought it for us. We probably watched that VHS 1,000 times. This was the day I was exposed to Terry Bozzio. He was a freak of nature in terms of a drummer. Love his crazy strange unique style and approach to drums. Which also led me to Zappa. Love it.

Wow. I can actually subscribe to Bozzio, my hero drummer since about 1979 to hear what he’s up to and done over the years? Phenomenal.

Is His Sister, Dale Bozzio of "Missing Persons..."

[@BlindManBert]

​@@davidranger13: Ex-wife, not sister, actually. They did co-found “Missing Persons”, though. According to Wikipedia, Terry Bozzio and then Dale Francis Consalvi met while collaborating with Zappa. According to Wikipedia: “During her work with Zappa, she met drummer Terry Bozzio in 1976. They married in 1979 after Terry had become a member of the band U.K.. They divorced in 1986 with Dale retaining her married name. She has two children.[1] Just the facts! ______________________________________ SOURCE [1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Bozzio#Personal_life

Thanx My Friend ✌😎

[@lesdude02]

Frank... had this innate ability to extract the best from the best!!! The quintessential composer, vocalist, band leader/maestro. I can spot raw talent... the challenge....is to get the raw talent to come out... it takes a very special set of tools to overcome this challenge. Frank was not only a musical genius, but he was also blessed by this ability to bring out the best of the best. He was not religious.... but let me tell you (living proof) it is a gift from the creator, and he was multi-gifted. Thank you my Lord! Everyone was on fire, but Frank... just killed that SG! Peace Love and Soul.

One can purchase the “Baby Snakes” DVD new or used for not a lot of money to get around such irritations of the digital sharing/streaming world. Won’t part with mine; the laser is starting to cut an actual groove into my DVD I’ve watched it front to back so many times.

I grew up in Cincinnati. I went to the University of Cincinnati Summer of 1976. 1978 - 1983. I had a Friend from New York who went to CCM he always talked about Frank Zappa also preceded him. I worked in the Promotional Record Department for CBS in the Early 80's for a Year before they pulled out of Cincinnati. I declined jobs in Cleveland and Chicago which I respectfully due to what I was doing at that time. I had the Privilege of Seeing a lot of Bands. I wish I had seen Zappa and Terry Bozzio back stage because I really love them together. Add Adrien Belew! Wow! I used to see him jogging on the Covington Kentucky and Newport Kentucky Flood Wall on a Regular basis. I've always been impressed by Terry Bozzio! His Drums are unique. He's always been a Great Singer too. He sang all the Backup Vocals for Dale Bozzio in Missing Persons. He has a Great Range and Great Falsetto!

@@silviarock.7297 . Ciao vedo con piacere che anche il gentil sesso Ama Zappa. Come saprai la Musicista che suonava il Silofono, diceva in una intervisto che negli anni di studio, avevano insegnato di non fare mai determinati passaggi. Zappa ha stravolto il suo modo di suonare, c'è un video su You Tube che spiega quanto detto. Guardalo e se conosci l'Inglese "anche se non serve visto che gli esempi che fa sono facili da ascoltare". Lei non suona più, insegna e concordava con T.BOZIO il fatto di aver toccato la cima, l'alternativa era solo una discesa visto che quando nel 93 Zappa è andato a rompere le scatole a Dio oltre ai Presidenti Americani e non, presi in giro quando era in vita. Ciao grazie e buon ascolto.

Guarda se ti servono consigli non esitare a mandarmi un messaggio sarà un onore ed un piacere, la cosa bella di Zappa.
