Frankie Binali performs "Heartbreaker" at a "Tribute to John Bonham" concert October 20, 1992, New York. Randy Jackson (of Zebra) on guitar and vocals, Randy Coven on Bass
Somewhere around 2003 club in Columbia South Carolina quiet riot I believe. I was front row standing slightly stage left and being a drummer Frankie was 80% what I watched. Before oncore Frankie got up from the drum kit and walked front stage and handed me a pair of drumsticks! Although we really didn’t make eye contact during the show he could just tail and feel that I was a fellow drummer. I’ll never forget that sweet generous gesture as well as talking to him after the show. A real class act and solid Brother. My heart aches but I know you’re in a better place now. Be Free my friend.🙏
Frankie was great... he was one of the best rock drummers ever... a lot of bands wanted him because he just kicked the band in the rear... we were pretty good friends back in ‘79-81 in Hollywood.
I just watched his memorial service today. His daughter spoke at it and one of the things she says was that her dad hit the drums like they owed him money. I’d say she was right on on that one! What a beast of a drummer. And an incredible human being taken way too early.
Frankie was one of the 1st Drummers I saw that was endorsed by Sabian Cymbals back in 1983 or 1984, they may have been around years prior but he was the 1st player that I recall used Sabian, also saw Frankie in 1984 in Quiet Riot at the Oakland Coliseum Arena, with Whitesnake and Kick Axe as openers, and I was very impressed with Frankie's playing, he definitely had that heavy Bonham groove, incredible Laser show QR had on their Condition Critical tour. RIP Frankie !!!
Frankie is damned good player. His groove is pretty good here. He's playing more like Bonzo's liver version. None of the drums themselves sound very good at this gig. Something didn't transfer very well to recording or at the sound booth.
+Paweł Morrison My assumption is the coated heads fitted kick included.... floor toms and kick sound loose ass bonzo's tune range was cranked up those artstars got potential :))
@Kris Mcfrory didnt know this was elementary thrash.... Have some respect for someones who has passed and could do it better then you any day of the week
Kris Mcfrory I see your commented got deleted very quickly, I could only read the beginning of it with your incredibly immature and childish. Frankly just idiotic and tasteless jokes. But we can move on. I think based on this comment section and any other videos of Frankie you can see a lot of support from the comment section and a lot of drummers know him and respect him. I’m younger and I know who he is and respect him. Your lack of respect and jealousy shows in strides
Too bad Quiet Riot did not let this wonderful drummer loose when they had him. Had to see Frankie do a rendition of Zep to see him pound the drum like that!! Wonderful!!!
Lot of bass drum missing..especially building up to the guitar solo. There should be three bass drum hits for each snare hit. This is a very simplified version. Bonham didn't bash the kit either. He played with control. He didn't hit as hard as he could..
@@JW-zs1pz Steve Smith Ian Paice John Bonham Buddy Rich etc, they all became legends without throwing their arms around like lunatics. To waste so much energy on a simple straight back beat is plain stupidity!
@@BigBillLucas every drummer you mentioned and more all do what Frankie did in that cover. He lead with with the drums. I enjoyed the passion of him gettin off beatin his drums to a drummer he obviously liked. Either way nice cover Big Bill.
+Ash Hudson I wonder if he's got serious shoulder problems after playing like that for so long. I saw QR live in '94, and never noticed his elbow flying out like that...
I was watching and his fingers and wrist are flowing like they should. Everything seemed okay. He wasnt gripping hard either. You can tell by the gaps between his fingers and sticks. Probably just looks awkward...
