I went to six flags magic mountain in ‘82, and there were all of these people wearing black and white clothing, and I thought to myself what’s going on. To my wonderful amazement, I was able to witness the absolute talented performance of Missing Persons live and direct. Dale, Terry, Warren, and Patrick were on another level back then,
Great song, love this band. Love Dale's vocals, Terry Bozzio's drumming is so powerful, Warren Cuccurullo's guitar tone and tricks and very cool, and Chuck Wild added the right notes on the keyboard.
That hiccup blew a tweeter on one of my speakers once LOL-I didn't just listen to music-the whole neighbourhood heard what I was playing and at 48, they still sometimes do
Vitreous Lamella I have completely done the same thing. Enjoying their catalog so much, I was too young to really appreciate how good their musicianship and song writing at the time was.Terry Bozio, I read so many negative comments on his playing so often. Just cannot understand that. He has been a amazing talent for so long. i recently found out he played with Frank Zappa way back when. Dont know If you are a drummer or just appreciate the instrument. But his playing with FZ is pretty well documented on You Tube. A must listen. Songs were definetly a lil self indulgent musicians music. But the playing is just extraordinary.
Man! I was there watching MTV from the beginning. And this band was so very good. They were a strange version of New Wave because they had a harder edge than most. And that drummer! If you know anything about percussion.....well...that man is a champ.
Won a $50 bet in college at a club challenge, band said no one could play this. I tore up this dude's drum kit and nailed it. One of my goals to play this tempo again as I recover from hand joint surgery.
They were a strange version of New Wave because "New Wave" was really a reference to a wave of music from the UK...the new British Invasion. MP wasn't from the UK, so technically they weren't new wave, they came from an LA and NY hard rock background.
I used to listen to this when i was 16 years old. I am now 56. Now i know how far ahead of their time they were. This is music to transcend time. This band effing rocked!
A precursor to the amazing Spring Session M album. Not their biggest hit, but this was the whoa! who the hell is this?? I remember the heavy airplay this got on KROQ here in L.A. when it came out. An L.A. band original!!
This and "I Like Boys". At the time, they'd play just about anywhere. KROQ wasn't yet "The Roq of the 80's" but they'd still play music not heard anywhere else." Before Richard Blade - back when it was Raymondo and Evans in the morning and Rodney's show on Sunday night was a must listen.
Yes. I grew up in LA as well and I Remer when KROQ started playing missing persons the Spring Session M was released and became a huge hit. This comment brought me back to good tines growing g up. Thanks
most underrated musicians too (especially warren). dale is actually the least talented member, and its not for lack of talent, cuz she is, but theyre just that amazing
Dale is a frickin' music genius. I can play anything off their three albums. I got to interview her for a long time before I got us kicked out for me smoking a big spliff in Evergreen. It was a talk about music and parenting, and my wife and her then-husband were hanging out, too. And being "private lives", I have my exclusive to myself.
Because they were too good, and so good, they pissed off the mainstream MTV pop world. The live "Words" shut most up. And Terry Bozzio's flourish out - sublime.
+J.E. Dyche i didnt say she wasnt talented by any means, i meant it as a compliment to terry, chuck, patrick, and warren, and i think warrens criminally underrated. u saying words got tons of airplay is actually proving his point, not refuting it- thats the only song of theres most people know, and its their worst song (usually the case).
The most jamming M.P. song ever in my opinion! Walking in LA is right up there with it. These guys had a musical style unlike anything before or since.
I like Missing Persons because they had a heavier sound than most new wave bands. Dale's singing, the drumming, and the guitar riffs in this song push towards hard rock. They found a really nice balance of punch and pop.
It helps that they had a real drummer, Terry Bozzio. As opposed to a cliche 80s drum machine or your typical new wave drummer. Bozzio played with Zappa during his creative peak, which means he played some of the hardest songs ever written. This was almost a step down for him, into the pop world. Or just a different direction. But he definitely gave this band some serious balls. Something a lot that music is missing.
This song is incredible. It rocks. It's perfect, a 10, and so is Dale Bozzio...Missing Persons is an amazing band, especially it's lead singer..."it's crazy". 😎
Greatest band saw them @ magic mountain 1982&@ the us festival 83 I was 16 year's old and man they ruled it 💯💯💯 Terry bozzio 🥁🥁🥁 beyond killer drummer 🥁🥁🥁 OMG 😳 what a beast 💯🥁🥁🥁
From a loving King Crimson/Killing Joke devotee - Anyone think a Prog Rock Pop Band like this could ever chart again? - this band was one of a kind, fusing incredible prog instrumentalists with great pedigrees with a fusion prog/pop sound - a band that could only could have existed at the end of the punk explosion and before the death of independent radio in the mid 80's
This brings me back to the Summer of 1982 like it was yesterday! I was 12 and spent most of that summer in Canyon Country, CA where we spent lots of days at Magic Mountain and listening to Missing Persons and Oingo Boingo. New Wave was so fascinating to me!
One of the most violent jams ever played...energy off the charts, but controlled... Terry Boz drumming was unearthly& Dale Boz did a great angst vocal job.Warren C guitar solo was of the wall.. all of it A+ would love to hear what Ga Ga thinks of this track... without a doubt she would say incredible...
A freaking classic!!! All this time, I never knew they had a video for this. Damn. These young cats need to listen to greats like Missing Persons. Maybe they’re music wouldn’t be so crappy.
I have a priceless possession. I’m looking at it right now. I have one of Terry’s drumsticks. He beat the shit out of it. I acquired it (special memory) when he threw it out during a show. Here in Houston, it was him playing drums for Jeff Beck. His touring partner was Stevie Ray Vaughn. That was a magical evening.
My friend has one of Frank Zappa’s guitar picks and I have one of his lighters. He left them on stage after a concert that we were fortunate enough to be in the front row for and we asked a roadie if he would give them to us and he did.
He was pretty decent with Frank Zappa also, four of the five Missing Persons are Zappa alumnus, Frank didn't hire shitty musicians, and when you left his enploy, you were better than when you started with him!
She was awesome, even was in Penthouse or something?The girl had it all. when these songs came on the radio.No matter what else we were real happy and ready to party!
Missing Persons was a Fresh and Exhilarating band that was lumped into the 80's New Wave Category but in reality they were a Highly Progressive Rock band. Terry Bozzio is a Legend and Rightfully So. This band captured " lightning in a bottle" for their brief couple years of existence.
I used to mix these guys back in 1980 on 15 channels at Starlight Pavillion at Knott's. 6 drum channels ( rack, rack, floor, rotos, ride, over) on a Yamaha PM-180. On the PM-700: drum sub mix input, kick, snare, hat, 3 vocals, guitar, bass, 2 keyboard channels, and a reverb return.
My brother and I had a friend named John who used to get drum lessons from Terry Bozzio :) This was a side project for his wife and him :) He used to play with Jeff Beck etc. ROCK ON!!!!!!!
So gifted and natural...young lady had a style all her own..timeless. up there with Lene Lovich and Siouxsie Sioux. Ahhh the 80s. so much energy and Awesome music.
God bless you, Dale B. I heard her interviewed in 2016 or so with the wisdom of someone who has seen it all... (paraphrasing) "Beauty, Fame, & riches... these things come and go from your life-- they're temporary But LOVE and compassion, they're long-lasting and live in the hearts of those people you touched for the rest of their lives, and hopefully they'll pass it on, and it will live beyond that.
This is one of those songs that really get my adrenaline flowing! I feel that I have to get up and dance every time this plays! Really lifts your mood! When Dale starts screaming it at 2:06, it gets even BETTER! Because you can only give 1 thumb up to this in the video and I love this song so MUCH, I will just give this a double thumbs up in the comments! MUCH OBLIGE!! 👍👍
Sadly I hadn't heard of them until now. I thought I heard most of the 80s bands, but there was so many of them back then. MTV skyrocket in a lot of people to fame, I believe the Golden age of MTV was the 80s. Like the first song I ever played video killed the radio Star
My band got to open for Missing Persons when they played Norman,Oklahoma in 1983. They were very friendly to us and made us feel important that evening. They were also impressed enough with our performance that they invited us to meet them in Philadelphia a few days later to finish out the tour with them. I needed more than a handshake and a couple days to get my life in order so I declined. There were 3 very upset people there for awhile. Sometimes I wonder..." what if " ? .
Punk Rock + New Wave rage lyrics post-guitar solo at its finest. "Now you got me up/Now you got me up and now you got me down...SCREAMMM!" My fave MP jam hands down.
Whoever did the video editing and color effects on this was a goddamn genius. Stuff like this defined an entire decade, and set the standard for years to come, visually. Excellent work.
As a kid I would get so fired up listening to this song. I f@cking loved it, and still do! No other song got it going like this that I knew of then. It wasn't until years later that I heard speed metal for the first time; then I finally got my fix.
That’s what years playing with Frank Zappa does for you,…Zappa didn’t work with just ANYONE, he worked with the BEST…and Terry Bozzio has proven many times why he deserves accolades
Jeeeez this song really rocks! I've been listening to MP since I was in high school and kinda rediscovered them again now. This is a very talented band for a fact!!
Underrated AF! This band was essentially one of the most influential 80's bands coming out of California hands down .... With that funk punk glamour 80's flare! They might not have got the recognition they deserve but there hits are Gold to me. Must have on playlists!
80's Perfection... This Band Was Perfect In A Million Ways... Fit Together Like A Glove... Wish They Would Have Gotten The Fame They Deserved Back Then, Can Only Imagine What Gems We're Lost Over The Break Up... Dale Is Still Gorgeous, Such A Feminine Voice , Mean Yet Playfully Sexy Stage Persona... Dale Did It Before Anyone Else.. She Lit The Way For All The Madona's, Gaga's, & Stefani's.....
Look up her Hustler layout's!!!! I still remember stealing those 2 mags from my friend's dad, he kept his whack stacks in the garage and I pilfered them when they went on vacation, lol. I had tennis elbow in my wrist for a week and I never played the damn game.
Talented out of this world! I believe Bozzio (drums) and Warren (guitarist) and future Duran Duran member came from the "Frank Zappa School of Music" just like Steve Vai. So its no secret this band was so good and quirky at the same time.
Dale Bozzio led the way!! Should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Her contribution's to music are vastly understated! She is a strong role model for women every where. She smashed barriers and led from the front long , long , before it was cool !! Nobody had to spoon feed you Dale Bozzio. Original and one of a kind !!! Unique in every single aspect!!!
@@richardkocon3667 This makes me sad, I was born 98 but raised with alot of 80s stuff. I wish I could've been a teen in the 80s to see such legendary bands live an be part of the subcultures haha. Lucky you! 🎸💥

I met her in Pasadena, CA 3/22/24 for her book signing. She is such a sweetest and nicest person I ever met.
So cool! I met her in January & I, too, can attest to the fact that she is truly wonderful ❤️
I watched them in House of blues in Anaheim. She's a little shaky but sweet and with rocking spirit.
Love how Dale's voice becomes a Stuka dive-bomber on the "down" in the repeat of the first verse! Great band, great song!

I was there
I was there too… I lived in Valencia

I was there also!.
What the heck were we doing in the 80's and how do we do it again? To say we were spoiled with amazing music would be an understatement.
How do we do it again been trying to figure that out for years if you find an answer let me know
And the middle of the 70s until 1980.
Cocaine, the answer is cocaine.
Yes. Cocaine and acid.
@@drinkclintons2058-Hookers and cocaine 😆
Great song, love this band. Love Dale's vocals, Terry Bozzio's drumming is so powerful, Warren Cuccurullo's guitar tone and tricks and very cool, and Chuck Wild added the right notes on the keyboard.
I was a late teen through the 80's. There is no greater blessing given to a person.
They don't make music like this anymore. I miss the 80s!
The fact you're watching a crucial faction of Zappa's entourage makes this all that more important.
exactly!
Important? In what universe were Missing Persons important?

I really dig the sound of this band. Dale was eye candy and Terry SMOKED on the drums wow. Fun band.
She is SUPER HOT with super long legs that go all the way up to her neck.
Facts, Terry is a drum machine in human form. They are a killer band.
Patrick O'Hearn, on keyboards here, went ON and on to do amazing ambient works. Lots of talent and intelligence in this band. . . .

The guitar needs some props too
I could never get bored of this band or song, the 80's was such a great time.

Just (re)discovering this band. They are insanely great. And Terry Bozzio is an amazing drummer!
+Vitreous Lamella : He is such an underrated drummer. Few are as dynamic as him.

All the musicians once performed with Frank Zappa.
Terry Bozzio developed his great drumming rudiments from being in progressive bands like Frank Zappa and UK.
They were a strange version of New Wave because "New Wave" was really a reference to a wave of music from the UK...the new British Invasion. MP wasn't from the UK, so technically they weren't new wave, they came from an LA and NY hard rock background.
@@allanbard6048 it's not that hard, contemporary songs like Tom Sawyer, and Toto's Rosanna are way way more difficult.
I used to listen to this when i was 16 years old. I am now 56. Now i know how far ahead of their time they were. This is music to transcend time. This band effing rocked!
This is my favorite song from Missing Persons and one of my all time favorite New Wave songs. It has the perfect blend of Punk, Pop, and Rock.
Same and u nailed it.
terry's drumming on this is insane wonderful
I like Terry's drumming on "Noticeable One" even better. : )
Great flam hit at 1:53
Check out his daughter's (Mariana) band! Aldious. They are from Japan and they freaking rock!!
MsCordially there’s a reason Frank Zappa had him in his band at one time. Zappa only accepted the best
U.S. DRAG LIVE AT US FESTIVAL 1983 IS DRUMMING INSANITY
The drummer is simply EXCELLENT.
Their best track in my opinion. Captures the period perfectly

Mental Hopscotch was the first music video I ever saw on a station called FM TV - Denver CO circa 1982 ❤️
Over the course of many years, this song has slowly but surely become my favorite MP song 😊

Saw Missing Person in Boulder CO in 1986, great show, small auditorium, Terry Bozzio was front and center on his electric drum kit (main attraction).
Good observation.
Yeah he even uses double kicks which is unheard of in this style
Terri Bozzio absolutely PERFECT tom tom transitions are amazing.
I don't ever want this song to end.

I first hear this song on a cult classic movie Lunch Wagon and absolutely fell in love with it and Dale!❤❤❤
Dale and Missing Persons was one of my favorites. Their sound is still unique to this day. I never get tired of listening to their music.
The sick tone, feedback and sustain of the guitar solo is epic!
One of their best songs in my opinion. I remember listening to this song over and over again in the 80's. I just love it!
I think Missing Persons is an under appreciated band. Dale Bozzio is an unique and interesting singer. Terry Bozzio is a great drummer.
I completely agree. Well said.
Terry Bozzio is a goddamn animal on the drums. Incredible.
Warren's guitar sound is nothing short of incendiary too!

Warren Cuccurrullo was a very underrated guitarist and he was amazing both in Missing Persons and Duran Duran.

Terry Bozzio......awesome drumming !
I completely agree. Awesome New Wave drummers are often not recognized because, you know, it's New Wave.
This needs to be RE-RELEASED so a new generation can hear....!
My brother and I had a friend named John who used to get drum lessons from Terry Bozzio :) This was a side project for his wife and him :) He used to play with Jeff Beck etc. ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Not sure if Jeff Beck is a talent magnet or talent is a magnet to him. Guess it doesn't matter just happy they both came together
He played with Zappa also.
I saw the first 3 MP tours & met Dale.
I also saw Terry with Polytown.
Met him & got his autograph.🤘

Whoever did the video editing and color effects on this was a goddamn genius. Stuff like this defined an entire decade, and set the standard for years to come, visually. Excellent work.
As a kid I would get so fired up listening to this song. I f@cking loved it, and still do! No other song got it going like this that I knew of then. It wasn't until years later that I heard speed metal for the first time; then I finally got my fix.
Terry Bozzio is a very underrated drummer. He is one of my faves!!!!!
He's ranked #5 of all time by Rolling Stone. Definitely NOT underrated!
@@strano2237 Not even close to underrated LOL
Did you ever see his drum kit? Holy shit... Insane
His daughter Marina is no slouch either!
That’s what years playing with Frank Zappa does for you,…Zappa didn’t work with just ANYONE, he worked with the BEST…and Terry Bozzio has proven many times why he deserves accolades
Terry Bozzio is boss with a tempo of 168 bpm the guy is solid. Then the double bass drum part 1:53 on the bridge and m.8 just adds to it.
i get 170
Brilliant. Still as mind blowing as it was back in 1982.
This era was so GREAT
How can you NOT LOVE DALE??
Jeeeez this song really rocks! I've been listening to MP since I was in high school and kinda rediscovered them again now. This is a very talented band for a fact!!
Underrated AF! This band was essentially one of the most influential 80's bands coming out of California hands down .... With that funk punk glamour 80's flare! They might not have got the recognition they deserve but there hits are Gold to me. Must have on playlists!
80's Perfection... This Band Was Perfect In A Million Ways... Fit Together Like A Glove... Wish They Would Have Gotten The Fame They Deserved Back Then, Can Only Imagine What Gems We're Lost Over The Break Up... Dale Is Still Gorgeous, Such A Feminine Voice , Mean Yet Playfully Sexy Stage Persona... Dale Did It Before Anyone Else.. She Lit The Way For All The Madona's, Gaga's, & Stefani's.....
Well OK this was before my time but does "Where have you been all my life?" still apply?
*adds to music collection*
Hahahahaha! I feel you!
Look up her Hustler layout's!!!! I still remember stealing those 2 mags from my friend's dad, he kept his whack stacks in the garage and I pilfered them when they went on vacation, lol. I had tennis elbow in my wrist for a week and I never played the damn game.
Seriously one of the best drum parts ever. Those roto-Toms man haha
2019 and still love this song.
Still jamming to this in 2022... and hopefully beyond!
The Music is so clean. Energy.
Talented out of this world! I believe Bozzio (drums) and Warren (guitarist) and future Duran Duran member came from the "Frank Zappa School of Music" just like Steve Vai. So its no secret this band was so good and quirky at the same time.
This is Zappa/UK /Prog Meisterwerk - we will never hear a band this talented again doing POP
Dale Bozzio led the way!! Should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Her contribution's to music are vastly understated! She is a strong role model for women every where. She smashed barriers and led from the front long , long , before it was cool !! Nobody had to spoon feed you Dale Bozzio. Original and one of a kind !!! Unique in every single aspect!!!
This song still gives me chills since the first day it was released. So tight, direct, and powerful.
Super talented musicians. Love Missing Persons. By-far the most talented New Wave band at the time.
My absolute favorite song of theirs !
It still kicks ass here in 2019 👍
I never heard of them before today...
THEY SOUND SENSATIONAL!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You should have seen them live. Rain Cross Square in Riverside CA.
@@richardkocon3667 This makes me sad, I was born 98 but raised with alot of 80s stuff. I wish I could've been a teen in the 80s to see such legendary bands live an be part of the subcultures haha. Lucky you! 🎸💥
Missing Persons fuckin rock! Check out their other songs like Walking In La, Words, Destination Unknown and Bad Streets. All amazing songs!
Also if you like this band check out Platinum Blonde. They are basically a gender swapped, Canadian version of this band
I love Terry in this video, ducklips to the camera. 😂 He is fun to watch playing the drums.
I found that song few days ago and now it doesn't leave me alone. Mental hopscotch....Mental hopscotch. Damn. I think I love that song... :-)
The drummer in this band is nothing less that awesome!
Missing Persons are the best ✨ They Rock ⚡ Nothing can compare to music from the 80's! 🙋
Missing Persons nails it with this song,the band members are excellent working together to make a good song
So wished this band had gone further. Great players, cool sound, awesome tunes. I still listen on my iPod once a week.
Some of the most unique drum patterns ever...LUV TERRY!
