  • Happy New Year Terry

  • I wanna be that mic…

  • How many times have you been told you look like Frank Sinatra? Too many I bet!

  • Zipster this is awesome! I love it. Now I will have to replay this a zillion times! xxoo ;)

  • Damn...this is actually pretty good

  • You are still a rock god.

  • would help if he sang in tune with the music;.

  • @TheBenAppleby it would help if you could hear intonation.

  • Man, this is so impressive! It's like a perfect mix of Paolo Conte(Italy) and Astor Piazzola(Argentina) with some John Cale, Nina Simone, Tom Waits, John Lurie, and other geniuses. In the big picture, this sound is Zen For Pirates featuring the talented Zipster!!!

  • This is really good!

  • omg i didn't kno u sing! lol ur good!

  • you're the greatest Zipster!

  • Hot licks, Zipster! 5 stars!

  • Loco mamma is your number one groupie lol

  • You look weird with teeth.

  • The song at 1:25 really blew me out of the water. Very amazed / in awe.

    I'm conflicted though, do I like this zipster... or the tranny dancehall-discoteque singer better? Only time will tell!

  • It's so great to have discovered a talented cat I hadn't heard of yet. Zipster, your performance here is spendid and the arrangements, instruments played...superb! You & your group seem to be a combination of Paolo Conti, Alberto Cortez and Astor Piazzola, with a little Tom Waits & David Bowie thrown in. Excellent music man!! -Hunter, USA/Mexico

  • Zipster, do you write the lyrics too?

  • I do!

  • Thats awesome :) I like your singing style, its really unique. :D

  • @Zipster08 You remind me of Brent Spiner. You should do some videos with your music sometime.

  • great job

  • wow he's great!  =D

  • pretty cool. Reminds me just a little of Marc Almond.

  • Love you Zipster

  • Zipster! I'm so glad I found you. You have brought laughter into my life because of your great sense of humor, not afraid to laugh at yourself and society. I hail you as America's Benny Hill! I'm 58 and sure could use a good laugh these days and your made it happen. Thanks! Keep on rockin!

  • Awesome video, man. Great sounding song.

  • It's cool to see Zipster in a different persona.

  • Wow, that was an incredible harmonica solo.

  • You want more? Buy the album it's loaded with GREAT stuff. Some of the most unusual, intelligent and interesting music I've fallen in love with in a long time. Zipster/Terry is GREAT in all his musical offerings. Try Zen's other albums AND his Pretty Face albums. GREAT GREAT stuff trust me. LYZ

  • You look younger here.  When was this taken?

  • hes just not doing the zipster character that makes him look alot older

    look at the date in the info, 12/02/07

  • i wish my granpa was like this...

  • Is there anything you cant do Zipster??? :D Love your singing!

  • Thank you!

  • zipster rocks!!

  • youv got so many talents, your amazing!

  • So glad to see T.Roth from Another Pretty Face is stil around. He still sounds great. I used to love a song they did, I think it was called Idaho. Wish they would have another reunion so I could see them again. Anyone remember Kink E.Slink Band?

  • You spent life well, you have so many characters who ever knew you could go from just a reporter about your life, to a women character that is very interesting, to a singer 5/5 .

  • Thanks!!

  • Zipster? OMG! Having only recently subbed to your channel, I had no idea. You are fabulous!

  • Thanks so much!!

  • Woah you sing too? Man you're awsome!

  • Thanks!

  • Great job singing...i like the bachelor haha its funtertaining watching you!! ;)

  • wow nice one zipster, you look different on here

  • i like the guy-he's a comedian!He sings nice.I don't understand what some poor people's fuckin' problem is???

  • Awesome voice! You seem so very talented. I've been checking out some of your different videos, I love the Loco Mama vids...good stuff! You should have your own tv show or something. :-) Anyway, your band seems pretty cool, the music style is so different from what I normally listen to, but I still like it. I'm pretty agreeable/open to all types of music...this seems pretty cool.

  • pathetic

  • and you're not?

  • Very very nice, purely entertaining

  • I love "The Bachelor" or at least if that's not the name...you knwo which one I mean...LoL  Would love to hear the whole song!

    Gonna check out the link for bummertent!

  • I had no idea you were such a talented singer!

  • YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST NOSE EVER !!!!!!!

  • You say that like it's a bad thing! Look what it's done for Barbra streisand (The jewish queen of classical!!)

  • NO U

  • hey Zipster, do you write your own material?

  • Yeah, I do!

  • I like your nose :P

  • What a great video!

  • Wow!! I like this side of you Zipster!

  • lol

  • wow thats you singing? cool. its got a david bowie / tom waits vibe. I like it. your an amazing person.

  • damn dude, I didn't know you were a musician too! I normally am into some very harsh underground stuff, but I like lightening up here and there. Good band sir.

  • now you tell me you can sing what else can you do? hehe!

  • he can teach u punks a lesson.

  • that was a good comment you know, I meant it like he can do a lot of amazing things, I just didnt know he could sing too!

  • zipster you are so talented and different

  • wow

  • Cool!

  • That was a great song, Very interesting!

  • Great vid

  • you guys kind of remind me of a 70's grup Gentle Giant. wiled . but you guys like them are your own thing.

    wild

  • u on itunes?

  • wow.

  • dude that was awesome, you got talent all around.

  • That was awesome!! you've probably been asked this before, but are there CD's available anywhere?!

    - Giles.

  • that harmonica solo around 2:00 is siiiick nasty

  • lol I LOVE THIS SONG LOL!

  • wow i know in others videos how long have you been singing on stage?

  • u look alot diferent zip

  • The many faces!!

  • LOL?

  • wow u look so different...i like the look...so where is the Zipper Factory? there is a place in toronto called Zipper or something...

  • Zipster, wow I am so impressed on so many levels. YOU GO BOYFRIEND!

  • THATS REALLY NEET, COOL COOL

  • OMG!I'm like a new Zipster08 subscriber, and i never knew he had teeth. So umm, how old are you?

  • I'm 57

  • Oh Cool.

  • he doesnt have teeth

  • Gee willikers! I'm totally new to your videos... I didn't know you could sing like this! Wow, and you got kinda a whole David Bowie thing going on. So, I'm gonna go look for another stage perfomance of yours where i can hear you over the saxaphone. :P Thanks for posting your interesting life on youtube.

  • Needs more orange cap with 'Jack' written on it

  • lol ya

  • Zipster, just so many layers and characters! Loco Mama caught me and I think you're an excellent manager for her talents! The Zipster drives me a little nuts and I wondered why you didn't supply Loco's music. I think the music cuts a little close to home and that's where Terry lives.

    3 in 1 must be tough, but it's gorgeous. Harmonica and violin has to be appreciated! I like this fella and all his flawed characters!

    Huzzah!

  • Zipster! your channel keeps me entertained for hours!!!

    awesome live performance!!

  • Thank you SO much!!

  • You're an amazing man Mr.Zipster! So many talents I'm in awe.

  • Thanks!

  • i got you on my mp3 player :)

  • ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Zip!!!! Awesome!! 5 stars, well done! -Alan- p.s. that harmonica is so haunting!! Love it!

    hugs

  • I'm a relatively new subscriber, and I just saw your video talking about David Bowie. Sorry I mentioned him... (hides)

  • Okay, what's the name of the first song then?

  • 'Perfect' on the cd 'Mary Ann's dead husband was my Stella Novagratz' available from Bummer Tend Records:-)

  • this reminds me of very early peter gabriel. great sound, very unique and really enjoyable;) Love you, Mia
