The Strange, Amazing Life of Tim Cappello

[@johnasbury3856]

Him and Tina Turners on stage chemistry set the stage on fire and made you feel part of the show. Epic saxophone player.

[@jasonwallace4911]

Met him at my work last Friday. He played a show there. Such a nice guy and a legend. Got a big hug from him.

[@jeffclemmer2103]

Works at the ymca with the village people. Lol

You met him last Friday? He has been dead for years bro

[@hollywoodnights]

I saw him 3 times on Tina Turner tours. Absolutely nailed it on We Don't Another Hero

[@christopherdieudonne]

Yeah, I know him from We Don't Need Another Hero. Always loved the sax solo.

[@theballadsback5128]

@steven james- where I remember seeing him. Washington DC Tina Turner concert at the Cap Centre… awesome energy!

[@Techn9cian123]

I watched The Lost Boys for the first time a week or so ago. Such a great movie and he totally steals the scene.

[@mirr1984]

Tim Cappello is a legend, and from the interviews I've seen, he seems like a really nice and humble guy too.

[@ohxlivia]

I just met him this past Saturday and cannot get over how NICE he is. He’s such a huge sweetheart. The Lost Boys has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember (I’m 29) and wasn’t expecting Tim to spend so much time with his fans and having actual conversations with them, especially after all the effort he put into his performance! My husband loved him too (I introduced him to Tim & the Lost Boys) which just proved to me how sweet of man Tim is.

[@ohxlivia]

May I also mention how sweet he was to the staff at the venue?! He ran to have his water bottle refilled and said “thank you” over and over to the busy bar tenders. I’ve met a couple of my idols but Tim was the sweetest by a long shot.

[@joellelegrand6661]

Cela se voit sur son visage qu'il est bon magnifique et très beau de plus

[@barbrice721]

Out of that whole movie his scene pops in my head as soon as someone says Lost Boys.

[@kickboxerforever00]

The Song Tim sings in the lost boys is absolutely ICONIC! 😎 🎷

[@AaronPlowman-qn1px]

Man I have listened to that song and watched that movie so many times. Iconic is the word.

[@kacwyo]

I saw another documentary that the producer said that the song was by a Christian band that didn't want to be associated with a vampire movie so that's why he asked Tim to do it. His performance is so iconic in the best vampire movie ever made.

[@TheMonsterRain]

@@kacwyo I just watched that!

[@xScooterAZx]

I used to know Timmy in the 80's. We both went to the same health food store on Hollywood blvd. He lived down the way from my place and he'd walk by when I was out on the patio and wave hi. He's just a really nice guy.

[@cindysmith4978]

Such a great talent, I saw the lost boys no less than 50 times and I loved his scene, strange how some small role became so huge, love it

[@Nopaants]

May have been brief but his character became just as memorable as the main characters. I’m in love with Jami Gertz n her seductive dance in that scene and then this kickass saxophone playing, awesome vocals and shredded musician starts belting out and swinging the hips. A very memorable scene.

[@Darkangel-hy8ev]

How could anyone forget his role in The lost Boys! Still my favourite vampire movie along with Fright Night 1 and 2! Soundtrack was amazing, but of course it was the 80s, it would be, not like the crap now! I love the Sax, it makes most songs sexy as hell in my opinion! Very talented sexy guy ! Thank god i was born in 1970, it was perfect timing to live my best life in the 80s, would go back in a heartbeat!

[@Robd07]

Fright Night was a classic!!!(

[@easternncbigfoot1288]

Yes, I randomly looked this guy up a couple years ago after I watched The lost boys for probably the 1000th time and was curious who he was. Also you are right, thet definitely don't make scary movies anymore.

[@kacwyo]

I was born in 1970 also so we as teenagers got all the good music and vampire movies. Lost Boys is still my favorite. Love the original Fright night 1 & 2 as well.

[@Bryanpeacock33]

He preformed at a life comedy show for the bonfire and he crushed and stayed around and took pictures with everybody... I was shocked at how nice and humble he was

[@roxannespindler8286]

I’ve met Tim a few times, he’s such a nice guy! If you ever get to meet him, DO IT! He’s a 💎 GEM♥️💜✌️🫶!🎷🎷

[@roxannespindler8286]

He’s coming back to Spookala Ocala Florida again in October & I can’t wait to see him again…super cool dude and his wife is so nice too!

[@ChiefExecutiveOrbiter]

This dude is legend.

[@smackroscoe]

The best part of that GUNSHIP song is the saxophone parts. He made that song much more impactful & memorable. I really would not mind finding more music like that.

[@robertsleight8013]

GUNSHIP just released another song 'monster in paradise' featuring Tim

[@ErinT80]

“I still believe” is STILL the jam.

[@belinda8780]

I remember him. Love his scene in Lost Boys. Very talented

[@richardhart9204]

Like most people who saw The Lost Boys for the first time, I thought the saxophone man was going to be a significant character in the movie.

[@pattybraithwaite2589]

One of the best scenes from the whole movie! That song was very intense! I still love it!

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

It would have been hilarious if the buff sax guy was the secret boss vampire instead of that schnook who owned the video rental store.

[@richardhart9204]

@@TheRealCaptainFreedom You may want to delete your comment; it's a major spoiler for those who have yet to see this 1980s masterpiece.

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

@@richardhart9204 Seriously? That movie came out in 1987, my guy. And it wasn’t much of a big reveal anyway. Plus they were dropping little hints throughout the movie.

[@richardhart9204]

@@TheRealCaptainFreedom That may be so, but there will always be new generations who haven't seen it.

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

LOST BOYS WAS AMAZING!!!!!❤❤❤❤ Loved this album too!!!

[@easternncbigfoot1288]

The 2nd and 3rd were horrible though.

[@jonathannorwood7294]

He plays very well for Tina Turner’s live music on stage!!!!

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Not anymore

[@michaelreid6937]

Thanks so much for posting this. I knew Tim when he was fronting The Ken Dolls (we were neighbors in NYC). He was such a sweet and unassuming guy. Getting to eventually see him on stage with Tina Turner was an amazing experience.

[@godzillandmore]

Finally someone does a vid on the buff sax player in Lost Boys

[@graf666orlok]

F**KIN" TIMMY CAPPELLO!!! I still believe! Seriously, this scene gets made fun of a lot, but the tone of the song, the lyrics, and Timms great voice covering the work of "the call". Just chills. It is 1980's perfection. Awesome scene and amazing cover of a great song. Anyone who says they don't like this song is lying.

[@nadiasven4771]

Tim Capello...I was in love with this man... his dancing screamed SEXXXXXX

[@michaelleppek4092]

Gay sex maybe.

[@margaretmele843]

NO JOKE💯😍

Definitely 😍🤤

[@purpleaki1277]

Never knew he played with so many big artists

[@kittykatz4001]

I saw “The Lost Boys” film many years ago, then later in the 80s or 90s and I recco him instantly as a member of Tina Turner’s stage show band!

[@Sugerskull]

I was so in love with him back in the day .❤

Tina Turner brought me here. R.I.P. Tina Tuner.

Saw him play last year at Will's Pub in Orlando. Fun show. He's digs performing. Wild cat!!!

man, thank you so much for making this docu. I was always curious about Capello's life....this dude found his gimic and great

[@david.tousignant20]

Lost Boys : Amazing movie. Many memorable scenes.

[@lionelbird1424]

Legend has it..... He still believes.

[@kacwyo]

Yep, he still does believe and signs his autographs that way.

[@eldruidacosmico]

I'm here because of SNL's Sergio Curse which made me remember Lost Boys. Tim Capello managed to make himself an archetype.

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

Dude is on Cameo right now, I got one for my friends and Tim goes all in on his videos. Totally a nice dude

[@EstorilEm]

Seems like a genuinely nice guy as well as being someone who could break you in half easily. The Gunship music video is freaking epic for a young guy, but he pulls it off at ~60+ like it’s nothing. Dude is a legend lol.

[@channelI748]

I picked up a CD to play in the car a few years back but it had the wrong CD in the case. It had the lost boys soundtrack and now i love this song.

[@josedelossantos2428]

I wish you’d go further In jazz music Timmy collaborating with the jazz artists of today. Impressed by his multi talent instrumental musician. Be blessed Timmy.

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

Was my brothers favorite movie, one of them for sure. Classic, Legendary movie! I miss you Bro! Hope we get to see each other again RIP

[@spicybiker3191]

That part of the lost boys film really tickled me as a kid

I loved that part, mainly bevause the whole motorcycle ride on the beach happened next which is one of my favorite parts.

I love Tina Turner concert movies. He's the only thing that can take my eyes off her.😍

....unsung cult artist of the 80s...i remember in an interview the interviewer asked TINA...that wasn't she afraid when she hired TIMMY that HE....would UPSTAGE ...HER...her response...i always had 3 women behind me that were always trying to upstage me....meaning the IKETTES...i saw the move THE LOST BOYS...and i like everyone else i wanted to see what else he would do in the move but was disappointed....i am thrilled to see him go all around the world with TINA....particularly when he wore his ALL WHITE VERSACE outfit....he actually was the perfect foil for her on every level....his dancing was always very sexy and amusing especially when he would do the hip swaying moves that the female dancers did when they all did PROUD MARY...the smile on his face was perfect because he was the MALE IKETTE....the man played several instruments and was the most versatile member of her band and looked amazing while he was at it...he deserves more of everything....muscles...music...and love from the business....

[@alienmoosestudios]

Hi new subscriber here 😁 Interesting video. Thanks for sharing ✨🍿🎥

[@p0ddie]

I hope he will get another round of fame because his song from the lost boys was recently featured in the ping pong battle on Family Guy. It's weird because I just saw that episode, shazamed the song because I really liked it and it lead to me planning to watch the lost boys again soon - one of the movies of my youth. And also the first ever concert I was to was a Tina Turner concert in 1990. Maybe he played the sax as a sexy sax man there. Edit: He actually did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2ank4OMZZ1jm9k

[@Prettyboyred336]

I remember having a crush on this guy, when I was 8 years old.

[@mercster]

Heh, it's funny... from that scene in The Lost Boys, you'd think he was some beefcake doofus they got to pretend to play sax for effect. But wow... multi-instrumentalist playing with Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, scoring documentaries... hats off to the man!

[@booshting3520]

I remember him being in Peter Gabriels band in 78, pre muscles 😅

[@Anderson_Se7en]

He was the first time we saw a guy that big move like that, greased up with a saxophone no less. He was movin like Terry Crews in ‘92😂

[@piroskaracz3621]
