In 1984 the drummer in my high school band had been only playing for a year, but picked it up quick. He was at a music store in Denver jamming on an electric kit, and a guy came up and told him “You’re really good man, how long have you been playing?” Dave told him “Thanks! About a year.” The guy was shocked he had only been playing for a year. They talked a while, and he said “Well, good to meet you, I’m Terry Bozzio.”
True story.
Dave Grohl went on to some minor success thereafter.

I bet the store was either Prosound or Drum City / Guitarland
@@DVSNTHERE Dude! You know Denver! It was Drum City, but I worked at Prosound Music back in the day 🤙🏼
Oh man, I loved Drum City / Guitarland and I miss Prosound! And a music store in Boulder but I cant remember the name. That must have been amazing for Dave to meet Terry. Do you know if the brothers are still running Drum city / Guitarland?@@nemesisjuggernaut7920
I was there at the US Festival, in front of the audience with a camera. And still to this day I've never had so much as a beer in my life. I recognized this drumming was magical at the time.
Lady Gaga stole Dale Bozzio look
She’s a lip syncing fraud
absolutly true , Missing Persons are the best
I swear this comment is on every MP-related vid on you-tube
To answer your question about the audience at the US 83 Festival, I was there. I had seen Terry Bozzio with UK in Rochester, NY in the fall of 1978 when they toured with Jethro Tull. To see him a few years later with Missing Persons was a real treat! Terry is always mind blowing to listen to. Crazy talent. And yes, for many in the audience, the up-scaled live version exceeded our expectations! Great band and what a stage presence Dale brought. Fantastic concert. I went with a good friend. We drove down from the Bay Area and met some girls from Novato for the weekend. Best concert ever! Bozzio was beast!
It was the early 1990’s, Houston, TX, at “The Drum, Keyboard, Guitar Shop”. Saw Terry Bozzio’s melodic drumming clinic. It was life changing; I wanted to be the last out the door so I could ask a few questions, but the person in front of me was a very young boy that wanted to know how to play a drum roll, and Terry showed him, step by step. It was beautiful, and let me in on what a kind soul looks like. Thank you for the inspiration.
I seen him on the Guitar zshop tour with Jeff Beck
I think this might be the most amazing conversation about drums that I ever witnessed
I really miss Terry's style of drumming from his Missing Persons days. that for me is my favorite era of his playing. Those 3 MP albums are incredible!
No doubt those are his best performances with missing persons his drumming is exact
Amazing era, missing person awersome band, terry omg
He has a live feed going on right now!
U.S. Drag is 🔥🔥🔥
Yah I'm a big fan of Terry's drumming, and I would love to dive into his Missing Persons stuff, but I just can't get over the damn vocals. I mean, I know the girl is hot and all, but Geeeeeezzz
As a drummer I've always loved his attitude. He never tried to be anyone else but himself. In this day and age of copy and paste Terry needs to be recognized!!
Terry Bozzio solo drum video is why I started playing drums. I still remember that Remo kit he had.
I loved that kit so much! 👍
i wore out that video
I still have that tape.
The first bozzio solo I ever saw made me want to give up lol. He was so far ahead of what I could comprehend. The solo is called "Cairo" I think and it still blows my mind.
That video is epic. I bought it too.
"Mental Hopscotch" just blows my mind with the drumming. It's one of my all time favorite songs and I still listen to it all the time. You are amazing man!
Indeed. The fills during the guitar solo are intense, to say the least. Have always loved that song!!
Song is such a banger. Never gets old
Mental Hopscotch is my favorite song they ever did I love this band years bad ass they are not Pop really mainly some elements. They had a harder edge sound compared to say Berlin who I also am a huge fan of. Berlin can be heavy but not as quite usually. Warren's Guitars have a heavier fuller sound and Terry's Drumming man blows me away I learned a lot from him as a drummer myself.
Same. It is my introduction to m.p. And is thee standout high energy track. Luv it!
His work with Zappa really blew me away, but with Jeff Beck...that was a match made in heaven! I wish that band had lasted longer. I'd love to hear Terry, Jeff, and Jeff's latest bass player together.
One of the most creative drummers on the planet. 🍀
He is without a doubt one of the greatest drummers in the world! I remember seeing him with Zappa at Cobo Hall in Detroit many years ago . What a treat that was! Still a great great drummer of all times! 👍👍👍👍
Every single drummer that has ever played on stage with Zappa is a SICK drummer.
David, We were there with a group of 14 of us main floor and The Baby’s warmed up Zappa. Do you realize that was over 40 close to 50 years ago ? I love hearing the views the MOI members share on Frank.
The first time I heard Terry was on MTV. Mental Hopscotch. He immediately became my favorite drummer, and still is to this day. I got to see him play with Missing Persons in the 80's. Incredible. Thanks for posting this.
Terry is probably the most “Different” drummer I have ever heard in my entire life.
I bought the U.K “Danger Money” album, because my uncle had recommended it. He had just seen UK at the Philadelphia Spectrum, and said he had never seen such amazing drumming like that before. And he was a huge Bill Bruford fan at the time.
If you listen to the beginning of Caesar’ s Palace Blues on the Danger Money album it’s one of the greatest openings to a song I’ve ever heard from a drummer.
Pure genius!!!!
What also impressed me about Bozzio was how much movement he would do in his seat almost dancing❤
UK and Missing Persons drumming was so important to so many drummers! THANK YOU TERRY !
Yes., Billy Cobham, mind blown, got to see him Orlando in a small club in the late 80s.
Need more of this!!!!
Terry Bozzio fan for life.
Spring Session M was a killer album. All of the band was tight as hell.
Very cool album...also cool that rearranging the letters in' spring session m' spells Missing Persons.
@@terryf5131 Sperm gnissions
Yeah hearing missing persons as a 15 year old drummer in the 80s was absolutely mindblowing because all of a sudden Terry Bozzio blew the door open on how to elevate a new wave song through a high-level drum part - that was also a blast to play. An all time favorite! Thanks for this. Oh and Terry, I was one of the 250k who bought the 2nd album and loved it!!!
Jimmy Keagan is supremely underrated! Wish we saw some of his playing in this video.
I fell in love with Spring Session M in high school in the 80s. I remember thinking as a drummer, "This guy is pretty amazing"-crazy time signatures, fills. Little did I know that little pop group had one of the best drummers ever. Too good.
Also guitarist, Warren is so under rated and hardly discussed when it comes to great guitarists
Couldn't help but think of Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons and the best use of electrical tape ever.
Let alone his incredible drumming, he’s a brilliant all-around musician and a sincere guy. Thanks for this video.
Agreed. Incredibly humble.
I remember seeing Missing Persons at The Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ in early 1983 and being completely blown away and so happy that the drums were up front and not part of the backline. With all due respect to Dale Bozzio's skimpy outfits, I couldn't take my eyes off of Terry - had to see what he was going to do next. His slight frame belied a strategic power erupting underneath while always contained but riding the line of redlining the meters or cracking a head or cymbal. What I witnessed was drumming like I had never seen before and nearly never again.
That was actually very, very good. Three guys that know the craft talking about exactly how it works. Terry seems like a really laid back and easy going person...you'd never expect him to be so utterly wild on the drums.
Terry Bozzio is just the kind of person I just love and appreciate more with time . I'm not even talking about his drumming either . Just a kind , humble , lovely human . I don't know him , but these things seem self evident to me . Grateful as well of course for his musical expression and contributions . Enriched really .
His level of musical wisdom is insane. And he can actually take what's in his head and turn it into music which is an amazing gift.
At 19:13 when Terry mentions Jimmy with Josh, Terry is referring to Josh Freese. Jimmy and Josh played together in a band that had two drummers. They performed regularly (multiple times a week) on that stage at Disneyland in the 1980s that rose up out of the ground. Famous drummers would watch the band play since it was so drum-heavy. Jeff Porcaro especially used to visit and yell up to the stage to get Jimmy's attention. How do I know this? I was there watching all of this in-person. Maybe some of you were there, too. Anyone else?
The band was Polo. I saw this band one time on a trip to Disney with my family. I was from Kansas, and played guitar in a top 40 cover band and I was completely blown away at how good Polo was. Especially the two drummers. I didn’t know who they were and it wasn’t until many years later, and many google searches, that I was able to figure out Jimmy and Josh. Jimmy is easily one of my favorite drummers these days. I love hearing these two talk is just amazing.
I’m a violist from a family of musicians. I was born in 1970 but my oldest brother Nate graduated HS in 1982. Nate would crank the stereo and drum to U.K., Zappa, Kansas, Rush, Police, Genesis etc literally every day. When Spring Session M came out, I completely flipped out and fell madly in love with BOTH Dale and Terry Bozzio. I’ve never been a drummer yet my love of great drummers has always been a constant. Terry is one of the greats. This is a terrific video! Many thanks for posting.
Great tastes Nate had
He did a drum clinic in my hometown and he was so engaging with the crowd. What was cool about it was a room full of drummers so everybody was blown away how he would breakdown specific fills people would ask him how he did them. There was no youtube so you had to see him live or here's your chance to find out exactly how he did it.
I was first first introduced to Terry’s playing when I bought Zappa’s Sheik Yerbouti. Huge Zappa fan then Missing Persons happened. Loved that band! Had the opportunity to meet Terry in 86’ or 87’ in LA at PASIC. Complete gentleman. He talked with me and took some photos. This is when he had the BIG hair. Big fan!
As great as Terry was in the 80s, listen to him play on the Bozzio Levin Stevens album Black Light Syndrome. Absolutely master class.
listen to him play fantomas...
ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL.
Both of the Bozzio, Stevens, Levin albums are Awesome!!!
@@michaelw.4434 - I like the first one better. It sounds a bit more spontaneous despite a few overdubs. The second one is too polished.
@@DavidLazarus yes,I definitely get what you're saying!!!..... first one was made in 4 days,,,,, crazy,,,,,then terry got it mixed a month later,,,,, amazing....
I worked at Guitar Center and helped set up Terry Bozzio’s drum kit for a clinic he did almost 20 years ago. It was five times bigger than the one he plays here. I think he had 30 cymbals. The cool thing is that he helped. Nice guy.
Reminds me of when I got to attend the KROQ Christmas Party and Missing Persons was the headline act. Bozzio blew the doors off. I assume he was trying to impress all the rock and roll glitterati in a small venue and a short set. It was impressive.
A favorite show of all time for me was seeing Terry play the Heavy Metal Be-Bop tour in 1978 with The Brecker Brothers at the Jazz Workshop (or it could have been Paul’s Mall) at 733 Boylston Street. Genius player. The room was packed with Berklee drum students, who were awed by Terry’s performance. I’ll never forget that night. The Heavy Metal Be-Bop album has been a perennial listening favorite of mine since its release in 1978. Thanks Terry for the musical and innovative playing concepts you’ve shared with the world over your long career.
I saw Bozzio drumming for Jeff Beck at a Beck/Stevie Ray Vaughn concert. best show I ever went too. Bozzio was amazing
I had the honor to meet Terry 25 years ago. One of the most humble, genuine, down-to-earth people I have ever met. Listening to him talk about Tony approving and appreciating his playing.... Could you imagine how much of an OMG, pinch-me-now, one of my childhood fantasies just came true moment this must have been for him?!?!?!?
Terry’s fills are like a metric car wreck and I grew up loving it and trying to emulate that same thing. Kick ass!
Flew from Denver to Portland just to see Terry play with UK on their reunion tour. I had the opportunity to hear their warm up and watch him adjust him drums. I never got to see UK in the 70’s, but was so happy to see him at least once. And too shortly thereafter, we lost John Wetton. A memory i will always cherish.
two of my most influential drummers in my life both played for UK; Master timekeeper/rimshot extraordinaire Dr. Bill bruford & the linear / ostinato Madman Terry Bozzio!
Me toooo. Bruford and Bozzio!
With so many reaction videos out there, what a great opportunity to do it with the star themselves! A fan’s dream come true, thank you! Looking forward to more videos like this.
Noted ✍️
Seconded!
You can’t help but feel by recent events that we only have a limited amount of time with these pioneers. How great would it be for them to see how much the world appreciates their contribution, not just with their primary instrument, but to the history of music. My hope is that the Drum Channel’s platform, will some how, trigger other platforms to invite other pioneers to see the world’s appreciate of their contributions. Not everyone can make it to the Kennedy Honors!
See Terry with UK and Missing Persons late 70s early 80s, just amazing skill and energy, Just the best. I count myself very lucky. Thank You Terry.
It is a legendary performance ! It was like he was possessed or something. The importance of the show and size of the crowd got him in the zone for sure.
Thomas is an absolute beast,he is by far my favourite drummer,he's a drumming GOD!🥁🥁🥁
I was Terry’s drum tech/assistant for a few years. I’ve never seen so many drummers brag about how small their kits are and how they “just groove”.
Right? You would never see a British person brag about having a small vocabulary lol So I think drummers are just intimidated and insecure about playing more, with more drums. Imagine hearing sentences with 4 words, thats what these minimalist drummers do. Its also why they dont reinvent the wheel or have signature sounds. You’re using the same canvas stroke for stroke thats been done. Its ok to have a ton of cymbals and drums, it is never sonically boring and opens up your creativity as a musician. Not a “beat” drummer. I think beat drummers pick up drums as a skill and look at the check. But get personally defensive about drummers who explore the drums as a percussionist like Terry does. You can have a ton of cymbals and a few drums or a ton of drums and a few cymbals. Either way, use sentences. Not genre dictated stigmas.
There's nothing inherently wrong with either "less is more" or more is best" perspectives regarding hardware; sonic creativity as a drummer in particular is not necessarily dependent on anything so much as a heart for the music (and the musicality of percussive instrumentation) and a good set of ears(!) for the most part. Of course you need some technique, some skills and drummers like Terry are particularly fortunate to have it all. But remember that like bop, technical virtuosity is really meant to strike a primary chord (pardon the pun) with fellow musicians and not the average listener. To each his own but feel (which precedes groove) is the stuff of magic and it can't be taught or practiced, no matter how many or how few the number of drums or cymbals; as Terry suggests here it comes frome "somewhere" and is the essence of a God-given natural talent that connects with other similarly talented musicians AND listeners alike. Thank you guys for putting Terry front and center again and many thanks to you Terry. A humble but remarkable musical genious you are indeed.
I mean if I had the top tier DW sponsorship, I would have the largest set possible as well.
Very nice trip down memory lane. Thanks Drum Chanel. I met Terry here in Montréal at one of his clinics with his massive kit. Very kind man. He played the melody of Directions II by Miles Davis while keeping time/ostinato. I was very impressed.
Thanks so much for posting this; huge Bozzio fan here and I also loved that you had Jimmy and Thomas in the conversation as well. I’ve always felt Terry re-invented himself throughout his career and always appreciated that about him. On another note, Mental Hopscotch from that same US Fest performance is Terry absolutely slaying!
The 2nd time I saw Fantomas at the Leadmill in Sheffield in 2005, Terry was the drummer as Dave Lombardo was touring with Slayer. He'd written out the songs in his drum language so he could follow the intricacies and complexities of the music. He didn't do a bad job considering how utterly crazy Fantomas' music is.
What a great humble artist , what an open teacher.Totally taken by surprise by this great interview video, mind blown!!Terry is a treasure!Thanks!
TB's performance on Zappa in New York especially Purple Lagoon and Black Napkins live is incredible stuff. Watching people age like me,I'm 65, is sometimes difficult. I love his history and knowledge. Thanks for this.
Lang is a killer drummer, probably from the top 10 in the world
It’s nice to see him talk to and watch his idol, and see what inspired him…
Thank you Thomas, Terry is every ones hero!
Hah, he mentioned "UK" and I got to see them on tour with Bozzio on drums. It was Wetton, Jobson and Bozzio as a power trio and it was insanely good.
“Caesar’s Palace Blues” on the live album is crazy!! The tom-rolls in between Eddie’s pizzicatos!
Although I'm sure a lot of the audience there wasn't aware of Terry's history, there had to be some who knew. I think any respectable fan or drummer at that time already knew about things like Zoot Allures, Baby Snakes, and The Black Page.
Bozzio is such a legend.
What an articulate man, too
Never seen anyone come close to Terry’s style. He’s a drummer’s drummer. He’s like the modern art of drumming. It’s hard for most people to appreciate the genius of it.
Aaaarrrghhh... Terry Bozzio ....one of my must important influence of all time in drummer life !!!! See him 8 times with his fabulous band '' THE LONELY BEARS '' in Paris at ''PASSAGE DU NORD OUEST''
venue and one time with the crazy band ''FANTOMAS'' !!!! just..... AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thomas...fan from France
I'd like to hear Terry talk about Azteca, a band he was in early on. I'd wager some of his solo phrasing comes from that experience. He's got a timbale riffing approach, for sure.
Thanks for this!! I still have a Bozzio stick and signed portrait from a drum clinic back in the 80's when he actually dropped a stick and it rolled to my feet and I jumped on it like a freaking babe ruth home run ball
Thanks for uploading a video that should go in an archive in case of a planetary disaster or sent on a satellite into deep space on a mission to explore exoplanets. Music is a universal language and they should be introduced to Terry! Just to hear a guy who has influenced so many drummers talk about the guys who influenced him in he awe of a kid at Christmas is just too cool! You can tell drumming is still everything to him! And even though Missing Persons was a big part of his life it had to be hard and watch video of Dale in her prime from when they were married.
All three of these guys are like Superhuman drummers to me, so it's so great to hear them speak about the drummers that they were influenced and inspired by. You also get the idea of the hours of practice put in to get this good. So it becomes instinctive, and yours. Your sound.
I actually like seeing Terry on a "normal" kit after decades on his monster rig. Interesting to see how that experience translates
Bassist here, first time I saw Terry live was with Jeff Beck on the Guitar Shop tour with SRV in the late '80s. When you can steal the show from the almighty Jeff Beck, then you're the real deal.
I saw Terry at a drum clinic in Charlotte. I don't even play drums and the guy still made my head explode
I love this as an old drummer and counting freak. TB was Incredibly talented.
Inside Out w/ Brecker Brothers is a great one. It's constant fills that completely worked somehow.
Man I was always impressed by his drumming when he was with Missing Persons! His drumming made the band complete! I don’t know why he gasped when he saw the name “Missing Persons!” I always loved that band and their music! New wave was really the 80s and still to me the best music! He’s awesome!👌😎👍by the way I still have a few of their albums in “cassette!”
So awesome. Terry Bozzio is a great drummer. I graduated from high school in 1983 and his performance at the US Festival was 20 minutes from me. My brother was there but I missed out. 😪
The irony of Terry having the smallest kit in the room lol
I also love the inspiration of Terrys Zappa solo that influenced Portnoys most famous drum solo of the 90’s. They’re so similar its great.
I met him at a Drum clinic in Denver Colorado in like 94 Super Nice guy and a hell of a drummer!!
Thank you Thomas. I thoroughly enjoy your playing with Paul Gilbert. In the mid 80s Terry was on a clinic tour (sponsored by Remo) with Sonny Emory. This was Terry with the all black Remo kit and the super spikey hair. First he calmly stated he was about to perform a concerto for drum kit , or something to that affect. I'll never forget seeing him literally shoot off his throne to hit those big China cymbals. Super inspiring!! Sonny Emory was also great on that tour.
Thank you for drawing attention to MISSING PERSONS. It’s my favorite thing Terry ever did, and one of the biggest musical inspirations in my drum life.
I did not appreciate Missing Persons back in the day. I liked some of their songs, but I didn't realize at the time how sophisticated they were musically. So glad I found this video so I can go back and give them a proper listen!
So cool to hear a legend give us some stories. Thanks for sharing!
I’m not a drummer but I had the same reaction after seeing Terry play with Jeff Beck @the Forum on a double bill with SRV in the later 80’s. On that particular tour each band would alternate fronting for the other each night. I came for Stevie, but Terry left an indelible impression I carry to this day and wanted to return the next night just for Terry’s drumming alone… jaw dropping performance and energy that still garners thoughts “if Neil is ‘the professor’, what is Terry?” I’ve not seen Terry play in any other format but he was simply mind blowing and owned the stage that night and told me there was much more to drumming than I’d assumed to this point. Hope I didn’t bore anybody with this story.
I was blown away by TB when I saw the same lineup. What a bill - SRV TB and JB!
@@jimgeneva2464 Yes!!! Jeff, way past earning his stripes letting Terry own that show… such a statesman. And SRV goes without saying- we all know.
We were lucky to catch this once in a lifetime show.
The professor emeritus.
I would say Terry is the artist. His drumming is like painting.
Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop is some of my favorite drumming, period. And the music is SO good.
This was great! I love the sit downs where these legends just talk about their influences and where they get inspiration from. Thanks for making this happen!
Love love love Terry Bozzio's drumming he is on my Top 5 with Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Bill Bruford, and Neil Peart. Love all of his recorded stuff, projects and live improvisations. A musician ahead of it's time.
Honestly, Carl Palmer is in my top five along with Bill Bruford, Neil Peart and Terry Bozzio.
@@DavidLazarus Yeah, also love ELP. 70's Phil Collins with Genesis and Brand X, Lenny White, Philly Joe Jones, Copeland, Minnemann, Chester Thompson, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Smith, Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Art Blakey, etc, etc. So many great drummers.
@@ronnywilson2112 - I'm glad that you mentioned Phil. Yes, he was outstanding. It saddens me to see him in his current state. Yet, I commend him for doing one last hurrah with his band mates. Yes, there are lots of great drummers out there. Cherisse Osei might not have the technical prowess of some of the other drummers we have mentioned, but she is still a fantastic drummer. As is Sarah Thawer.
Danny Carey on my list too. Great names here!
I remember the first time I heard “The Torture Never Stops” from Zoot Allures. Those fills stood out to me immediatly and introduced me to Bozzio. Derivative? C'mon Terry 😃
I saw Terry with Zappa a Couple of time, Missing Persons and Jeff Beck on the Guitar Shop Tour. He’s a Master !!
Guitar shop of all my thousands of cd’s and vinyl top 5 record beck is a master of notes tone and space and phrasing rhythm section had a lot to keep up with and they are spectacular
MP rocked. Glad I was able to see them live 2 times.
That was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Thank you. 🥁
So nice to listen to Bozzio talking about our biggest heros Tony Williams, Eric Grávátt and Jack deJohnette. Very humble by Bozzio to do so...
I could watch days and days of Terry talking about UK and Missing Persons. The Best!!!
Roommate had a video of him on a Jeff Beck tour with srv. Couldn't believe it was the guy from what are words for.. best drum solo I've seen
Watching Jimmy Keegan air drum so much of Terry's playing has impressed me the most out of anything in this video. USFest 83, wow, what a legendary performance. Go watch it if you haven't seen it yet.
This is great I was there at The 1983 US Festival Got to see this live!
So lucky to have seen Missing Persons in a small venue in 1983. The band was so incredible live. 90% of the time I was staring at Terry being amazed at what he was doing. He made the impossible looks so easy and fun. Great interview, thanks!
What a bunch of cool dudes. Thoroughly enjoying this!
Seeing him play such a small kit is a treat. I wish he played smaller kits more
Still one of my favorite drumming performances. Unfortunately I was only able to see Terry play once but he was absolutely mesmerizing! Playing with Jeff beck and Tony hymas on bass!
I saw him with Zappa on my 18th birthday.
Oh what a blast The US FESTIVAL! literally in my back yard, Terry is the Man!!! MISSING PERSONS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. thanks for sharing this guy's. Oh BTW I still have 82 Remo Encore Kit still sounds Amazing 😎
Great idea picking TB's brain on this stuff. Maybe you can do the same thing with Vinnie and Joe's Garage? Like a Beato for drums...
This is awesome. I love seeing Terry play a normal sized kit again. I also love seeing Thomas Lang geek out over one of his influences like this, haha.
Its fantastic hearing Terry talking about Missing Person. I am a UK 80's new wave child and was into Zappa in the 90's but only discovered Missing Persons a couple of years ago.
Anything Terry puts his hands on it turns to drum royalty whether it's the stuff he did with Frank Zappa from 75 through 78 or when he took Bill bruford place in UK for 2 albums and then went on to create missing persons with his wife at the time Dale the singer , Jeff Beck guitar shop featuring Terry Bozzio and Tony Lyman and Bozzio Levin and Stevens. And all of his amazing workshops that he does with the baddest drumset on Earth... the big and little version. His music with Frank Zappa is my favorite stuff that he has done!!! I really think that's some of Frank's best music he ever did with Terry Bozzio on board. But Terry's drumming Style has been instrumental in my drumming and his approach to drumming, he's miles ahead of the rest. The beginning Bozzio career can be found on Frank Zappa's studio album Zoot Allures, Sheik your Booty, sleep dirt, baby snakes, orchestral favorites ,thing fish Joe's Garage Act 2 and 3. live Zappa :you can't do that on stage anymore 1 , 3 , 4 & 6, live from New York ,Frank Zappa Plays the music of Frank Zappa, Bongo Fury, FZ:OZ Frank Zappa Philly 76 Frank Zappa Hammersmith Odeon 77 Frank Zappa Halloween 76 + 77..... now that's a Frank Zappa discography with Terry Bozzio how can you not be influenced by all of his early stuff.
Holy crap! That was great! I’m not a drummer but you had my full attention anyway and I still learned stuff.
It's so telling the humanness and insecurities we all carry with us when you hear Terry talk about learning how to receive compliments. It doesn't matter where your standing is in life because we are all equally as prone to insecurity as the next. Here's this excellent drummer/musician talking about struggles of receiving compliments when most of us would kill to be at his level.
The second UK album is firmly in my top 5 desert island records. Terry practically invented the slow 5/4 grooves with the Cobham fills.
Very cool for you to watch these clips with Terry and pick his brain on what & why he played what he played. Keep em coming.
