Приєднався 5 сер 2012
Tony was born in Boston in 1946. From age 10, he studied the upright acoustic bass, playing a few years later in combos and classical ensembles. After switching to electric bass in the late 60’s, he moved to New York where, after a brief stint in a band called Aha, the Attack of the Green Slime Beast (!) he played on a number of recordings, then chose in the late 70’s to focus on playing live and touring.
Overtime, he has recorded and toured with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Peter Frampton, Seal and many more, and has released four solo albums and many collaborative albums.
He helped popularize the 10 string Chapman Stick and the NS electric upright bass, was the first player of the Steinberger headless bass, created Funk Fingers - modified drumsticks that attach to the fingers, and released five books.

Saw you in DC leg of Beat Tour, damn you're a badass!!! Best wishes
Last weekend rocked! Probably my favorite live performance, period. Thanks Tony!
When is the THRAK tour?
you have to pay $25 to watch it. of course, nothing great comes free, but this is the first time i've heard of paying for a livestream.
That's VERY (( Not "Cool" )) & That Price/Idea Was positively run past a few people. Bad Idea.
Not that I can't afford it... Not to brag. Or be a drag. Not a... gay? didn't marry well. But I divorced great! I didn't pay because.... My Beat ... (English Beat?) Nope! The well-Discipline Three of a Perfect Beat. Live show is still up coming for me Complete w/$50 posters & $35 hats to match $40 shirt. Expensive, extravagant, exorbitant... These are words with an 'E' this time. Cheers. *See ya there! ★Wish it was... Bozzio.😉🤔 (if no Bruford)
What time?
What Time ??
Yep... There's no such thing as "Time " gravity . & The earth is shaped like a Frisbee ... { I'M KIDDING } I was asking What TIME does it start !! BTW. That was a while ago. Go ahead & Assanate me... But KC In the "Double trio" mid 90's & Other variants. Are FAR More Unreal in every way. Just saying... Tony is solid . but so much lower in the ( Audience mix ) One other word... ( Pitch ) That's all I'll say about that. But I'm Soooo happy that "Beat" was assembled & toured !
scary Death Noiz
Wow, absolutly great and entertaining...
Tony is a Fucking Legend!
Yep... ppl claim to have seen him in Many porn vids... Pleasing women for hours !! "A Fucking legend" Or I say , He's one of the Best & most Interesting Bass players to walk the earth.
👌🏻🧐
Excelente album, lo tengo desde 2019 y lo he escuchado muchas veces
