Terry Bozzio is criminally underrated and mostly overlooked by the new crop of drummers. UK The Lonely Bears Jeff Beck Missing Persons and more. Explore.
That’s one sentence I never thought I’d read! I guess everyone has their own perspective and background but in my circles Bozzio was always a drum God, all the guys Frank used were extraordinary, Vinnie, Chad, but Terry was on a different level than Peart and Portnoy.
You need to look up underrated. Yeh, lots of modern drummers have moved on from him, but he did that also. But by virtue of being one of the most famous "drummer names" in history, you can't say underrated. Most people had forgotten about the Beatles, if not for the new Disney release, they'd have had the same fate. Most under 30'didnt know who they were... and as a musician, and old guy... I say, so what. Time moves on.
TERRY BOZZIO on the Kit, Oh Mike NICE JOB on the SYNC and the 720p!! Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood!! I was 14 when I 1st heard Zappa, BTW
When i grew up in the 70's and 80's, churches closed their doors and became supermarkets or pop stages and so on and religions were just seen as some old tradition held up by a happy few in the bible belt here in holland, but had no influence on society and the public domain, so beside a few believers, no one gave a shit about religion anymore. But now 40-45 years later those fucking religions are stronger than ever and even stands ABOVE the law, because the whole country was in another total lockdown last december, and events were forbidden, except some religious idiots who organised a few ordinairy music concerts but sold it as "church service" so everybody could get in, and no one was checked on corona or got registered and no one needed to wear a mask. So those religious fools can do whatever the fuck they like, because the government doesn't dare to shut them down, so that means that religions are beeing put above the law and that is a serious threath imo because religions have nothing to seek in the public domain or push their will and own laws on society, because religion is a privatte matter and not a social duty, so we must take their self claimed powers away from them and kick them back to where they belong, and that is behind the doors of their homes and churches. I don't care when people believe in god or micheal jackson, aslong they don't bother me with it or even try to force me to have respect or even bow for them because they are not my idols, and it's up to me who and what i want to respect. And the problem with religions is that when they don't fight each other, they start to fight with the non believer aswell so fuck all religions! Religions are for the weak and simple minded idiots who can't take control of their own lives!
I can't imagine him putting the guys through their paces in rehearsal with a song like this. I guess he was a real hardass when it came to practicing. Ugh.

Still have the Sheik Yerbouti vinyl.. Just one of the many satirical sermons of the sagacious Mr Frank Zappa and the many illustrious musicians he recorded with ..This video gem including another musical genius in Adrian Belew, King Crimson 'Discipline' another gem in the vinyl collection. Thanks for the great vid of a true genius
Holy crap, I did NOT know that Adrian Belew was among the big list of Zappa 'alumni'! Awesome! Some of these musicians must have had some serious influence just by sheer exposure to the man and his whimsical musical ways! I know that I hear plenty of Zappa-isms in Steve Vai's playing and composition styles, so it surely rubs off on musicians.
The Halloween 1977 line-up of the band featured Terry Bozzio on drums, Tommy Mars and Peter Wolf on keyboards, Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Ed Mann on percussion and Patrick O’Hearn on bass.
The story goes that Bowie went to see Zappa one night in Berlin with Iggy Pop. He was so impressed with Belew that he approached him during the show, literally while Frank was soloing on stage, and convinced him to tour with him instead. Later, and in an unbelievable coincidence, the “secret” negotiations they had painstakingly arranged turned out to be in the exact same restaurant where Frank and his band were eating. Realising they’d been rumbled, Bowie tried to make small talk and ease the tension but the only response from Frank was “F*ck you, Captain Tom.” And the rest is history.
"Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" is not exactly what they would call radio friendly AM. But it's probably just what people needed between yet another airing of "All you need is Love" and "You are Everything".
Zappa is my go to guy when I take life too seriously. He reminds me just relax and let go. Aside from his musical genius, Frank Zappa was one of the last bastions of sanity in this insane world.
Patrick O'Hearn's monologues were always great. He changed the lines night to night too. Also I had no idea Zappa was playing the rhythm guitar part to this. Maybe along with Adrian. Cool.
Then you'll probably like the Halloween 77 album. It's on spotify (which is free. Something I didn't know for a long time) along with Halloween 81 and of course 73 which is also good. 77 is like 15 hours worth of concerts I think.
Im 30, sometimes I feel quite isolated from my generation that doesn’t like this type of music.. people my age listen to “reggaeton” and trap music and its ok… but at the same time I feel badass 😂.. This is my favorite song of Zappa.. I think , like bowie, he was unique too..
this was the first Zappa song I ever heard, followed by Valley Girl. I didn't realize how great Zappa was as a musician, guitarist, composer, sound engineer etc. until years later. I just thought he was a crazed pervert!
I remember the first time I heard this song, and I believe it was the first Frank Zappa song I ever heard. I am amazed and delighted as deeply today, as I was back then. The genius of Franks legacy lives on!
First time I heard FZ was in the late 80s, I was in 10th grade, at a friends house tripping on acid, my friends dad figured out we were high AF, and so put in Thingfish and cranked it up, it changed the course of my life, LOL.
Well, .. no. Depending on what "starting out" means. If he was "starting out", he'd have been bad.. he'd been playing for a long while... before you head of him.
Playing with Frank is a challenge on the Prince level. Also the sheer amount of compelling music is on a similar plane. One of a kind talents. They did not take any crap either
Love it. So true and much appreciated. From an old man that has seen Frank many many times, just fiukn wonderful. I feel younger, think I'm going to move to Montana and open a dental floss factory.

The best part of a Zappa composition is the simple fact that what you hear on the record is exactly what you hear in real life..... A true musician without all the tricks of technology cleaning up crap music today
Zappa did absolutely loads of studio tricks that couldn't be done live, especially in terms of vocal processing. Loads of his stuff has vocals recorded on tape running at different speeds to the backing track so that they play back at pitches that couldn't be achieved otherwise. There's also a bunch of stuff with female session singers contributing vocals (including Tina Turner on Dynamo Hum, who also provided other contributions to the album it came from) which were reinterpreted live with male falsetto vocals. The musicians in his band were all top tier, but a lot of the live performances were very different from the studio versions by necessity because they didn't have the same people who recorded the album in the band and the arrangements needed to be redone in order to account for that, as well as address the cases where someone was playing two instruments simultaneously in the studio version. Part of being a good live band involves knowing how to reinterpret the studio material in a way that fits the resources you have available and Zappa and his band were excellent at it, so to say that it's like the record kind of undersells the level of talent that he and his band displayed in taking these very complex and elaborate pieces of music and making them work live with the limitations that come with that.
"Wrist watch . . . Crisco!" Man, I remember the first time I ever heard Zappa -- it was this track and others from SHEIK YERBOUTI, played by the folks at Campus Attractions during a 4-movie film festival in 1982 at the college I would attend a couple years later, when they were setting up the projector in-between movies. There was this song, and "Jewish Princess" and "Bobby Brown Goes Down" . . . and I remember asking out loud, "What the fuck IS this I'm hearing???" Somebody said, "Frank Zappa" and the next day I bought all the Zappa albums in the Used section at a shop named -- I kid you not -- MOTHER'S RECORDS. I caught the Zappa Fever quicker than a mouth-breather Trump voter catches Covid-19 at a MAGA rally. As far as I know, Frank never played a gig in Fargo, ND, where I'm from -- but if he had, from 1982 and on, I would've been there front-and-center. Thank gawd there's so much Frank Zappa content on TH-cam, especially concert footage I never expected to ever see. Frank seems to have recorded everything, so . . . Thank Frank!

Well, it's been on here for 8 months, and at least two versions of it are still available. FZ had much more trouble with censors in the 60s and 70s than the Zappa trust have releasing his music now. He had to set up his own company to get Thingfish released, but now people put it on as a stage show, with no trouble.
If the world needed Frank they need him NOW
Hello Henry, have a Zappa influenced song to recommend to you entitled 'Where I Come From' by Robert Nix

You're so right...............................
Why not continue what he started?
Yeah, I think I have a Zappa CD around here entitled "Have I Offended Someone?" full of songs that would drive any college professor to suicide 🤣

Yeap, there's an interview where he clearly states that@@garyclarke9557
Even his Synclavier album cleans up today's music; that technology was 40 years ago.
Zappa did absolutely loads of studio tricks that couldn't be done live, especially in terms of vocal processing.
Loads of his stuff has vocals recorded on tape running at different speeds to the backing track so that they play back at pitches that couldn't be achieved otherwise.
There's also a bunch of stuff with female session singers contributing vocals (including Tina Turner on Dynamo Hum, who also provided other contributions to the album it came from) which were reinterpreted live with male falsetto vocals.
