QUIET RIOT's FRANKIE BANALI At Last Night's 'Bonzo: The Groove Remains The Same' (Video)
January 13, 2011Video footage of QUIET RIOT's Frankie Banali performing a drum solo at last night's (Wednesday, January 12) "Bonzo: The Groove Remains The Same: A Double Encore!" event at the Key Club in West Hollywood, California can be viewed below.
Due to the overwhelming success and positive feedback from the audience and drummers at the first "Bonzo: The Groove Remains The Same" John Bonham tribute show on September 25, 2010, Brian Tichy and Joe Sutton agreed to look into doing it again. The problem was Tichy would be on tour this year with WHITESNAKE for most of 2011 into 2012. The only way to go for it again was to have the show sooner than later. And while looking into this, two back-to-back dates came up! The drummers all agreed two shows are better than one. Most of the drummers are back as well.
