Zappa Plays Zappa - Punky's Whips

Unfortunately I couldn't include the presentation by Joe Travers, otherwise it would pass the 10 minute limit. And believe me, it's almost a crime to split the video in two, this one is phenomenal.

terry bozzio fucking rules

[MelasChupa]

They're very brave to play this. Some things are of course impossible to reproduce from Zappa's performances. But some parts are even more interesting. Nice give and take.

hey dude, it was a joke

[fishboy1111111]

i wonder what punky meadows thinks of this song?

[fishboy1111111]

@beanriffs probably not, zappa was extremely anti-drug so i doubt he would have let bozzio in the band if he was using, and if he wasnt using back then theres a good chance he isnt using now, and it would be an insult to be playing with dweezil while high knowing how anti drug his father was

[khon1984]

every time when someone tells me that he likes mr bungle i show them this video

[fadethetrade]

I hate his kit,Wish he would bring back the baby snakes kit.

[EarthSuburb]

It is simply the BEST BAND WORLDWIDE ...

Thanks to Mr Zappa for resurrecting his father's repertoire with such talent and virtuosity.

It's pure musical delight.

@Alex11710 well the mic he is using a Shure Beta56A. The Beta56 has an hypercardiod pattern, so it will repel any unwanted noise from de back! in the case of Terry the loud cymbals, also he is almost eating the mic so the proximity of his singing will make a prevalent "only" vocal take! but i do agreed that some kind of noise gate is also in place to avoid any unwanted sounds. Hope that helped! XD

@beanriffs

No he is not on drugs he is just gettin in touch with his inner self of 1977 when he was like 25 / 26 years old

Erm Punky Whips was recorded in 1977 and the Missing Persons were founded in 1980
