The Zappa Years

In his teen years, Cuccurullo became a fan of Frank Zappa and began travelling to every show within reach, eventually appearing with the band on stage at a couple of shows as well as in the 1979 Zappa film Baby Snakes. He impressed Zappa by knowing the guitar parts to every Zappa song in the catalog, including the strangest sounds and most bizarre time signatures.^[1] This page refers to the year 1979. ... Baby Snakes is the live soundtrack to the 1979 Frank Zappa movie of the same name. ...

Among Zappa's touring players were drummer Terry Bozzio and bassist Patrick O'Hearn. Cuccurullo became friends with them, and remained in touch after the tour ended. In December of 1978, Cuccurullo was invited to audition as a guitarist for Zappa's new road band, and toured Asia and Europe for four months. After the tour, he returned to the studio with Zappa to work on parts of the Joe's Garage albums. There Cuccurullo met Terry Bozzio's new wife Dale, who also sang a few parts on the album. Afterwards Cuccurullo and Dale Bozzio began writing songs together, and eventually convinced Terry that they should launch a band together.

In 1980, Cuccurullo and the two Bozzios formed Missing Persons, added Patrick O'Hearn and Chuck Wild, recorded a 4-song EP entitled Missing Persons, toured, promoted the EP, and appeared in the movie Lunch Wagon. Two years of hard work led up to a signing with Capitol Records in 1982, the release of the album Spring Session M, and the subsequent success of Missing Persons on radio and MTV. The singles "Mental Hopscotch", "Destination Unknown," "Walking in L.A.," "Words," and "Windows" all met with success. They appeared at the all-day Southern California concert, the US Festival in May 1983. Cuccurullo received accolades as a powerful and innovative guitarist, although playing straightforward pop used only a fraction of his abilities.

In 1984, Cuccurullo invented a new type of guitar he called the "Missing Link", and used it on the experimental album Rhyme and Reason (1984). The band followed up with the more conventional Color In Your Life in June 1986, but almost before the promotional tour could begin, increasing tensions between Terry and Dale Bozzio led to the end of the tour, the band, and the couple's marriage. 1984 (MCMLXXXIV) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

On his own again, Cuccurullo began recording some music in his bedroom that would eventually be released on his solo album Machine Language.

The Duran Duran Years

Main article: Duran Duran

Missing Persons shared their label Capitol Records with British band Duran Duran. As Missing Persons fell apart, Bozzio and O'Hearn were approached by Duran guitarist Andy Taylor in Los Angeles for work on a solo album. In this way, Cuccurullo learned that Taylor didn't intend to rejoin Duran in England to work on their next album, even before the rest of Duran Duran knew. Cuccurullo sent a tape and a request for an audition, but was turned down, with some puzzlement.^[2] Duran Duran are a British New Wave band notable for a long series of catchy, synthesizer-driven hit singles and vivid music videos. ...

As it became clear that neither enticements nor lawsuits would get Taylor back in the studio, Duran Duran did hire Cuccurullo as a session guitarist to complete the album Notorious. He went on to tour with the band, and returned to contribute his increasingly experimental guitar work to the album Big Thing. At the end of the grueling ten-month Big Thing world tour, Cuccurullo was made an official member of the band, and moved to London. Shifting record label politics and the unsuccessful album Liberty almost derailed the band, but after Cuccurullo offered them the use of his home studio ("Privacy") in Battersea, Duran Duran was able to shift to a more comfortable and controlled music-making style.^[2] Image File history File links Cuccurullo2. ...

Cuccurullo's songwriting, guitar skills and driving personality contributed to the band's return to fame with 1993's Wedding Album. He was the primary composer of the hit singles "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone", although the lyrics were written by Simon Le Bon. He created new arrangements for many of the band's old hits for the acoustic-flavored tour that followed, as well as arranging full acoustic pieces for the piano and six-piece string section that performed with them on the MTV Unplugged show.^[3] After Frank Zappa's untimely death in December of 1993, Cuccurullo performed the instrumental guitar piece "Watermelon in Easter Hay" (from the Joe's Garage album) in his honor at several Duran Duran shows. 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

Cuccurullo continued to hold Duran Duran together during the band's lean times in the 1990s. The covers album Thank You (1995) was an attempt to keep the peace among band members who had increasing trouble writing music together. Medazzaland (1997) and Pop Trash (2000)—written after the departure of bassist John Taylor and Duran Duran's separation from Capitol Records—featured more of Cuccurullo's songwriting, as well as some reworked TV Mania material, but failed to dent the charts. Cuccurullo was also largely responsible for Duran Duran's change of image. The band had once been regarded solely as a pop band, however, Cuccurullo helped to move them into a more serious image, and helped to create some very powerful alternative rock and synth-pop. Some fans have criticized Cuccurullo for moving the band away from their roots, while others argue he helped to elevate the band to a more respectable position in the world of electronic music.

Solo and Collaborative Work

During breaks in Duran Duran's schedule, Cuccurullo worked with Tetsuya Komuro, Shankar and Patrick O'Hearn. In 1994, the preparations for a solo show near his hometown led to a burst of creativity; he recorded and mixed the Thanks 2 Frank album in less than ten days, with bassists Pino Palladino and Nick Beggs and ex-Zappa drummer Vinnie Colaiuta.

Cuccurullo also collaborated with Duran bandmate Nick Rhodes on a large scale vanity project they called TV Mania, an experimental rock opera (not yet released except for a few songs on Warren's website and in the movie Trollywood). The two of them also wrote and recorded a song called "Tomorrow Never Dies" with vocalist Tessa Niles for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The song wasn't chosen, so Duran Duran re-recorded it for the Pop Trash album with new lyrics under the title "Last Day On Earth". In December 1996, Rhodes and Cuccurullo wrote and produced two songs for a never-completed Blondie project ("Pop Trash Movie" and "Studio 54"); the re-recording of the former gave the Pop Trash album its name.

Missing Persons Redux

Beginning in 1997, Cuccurullo began a campaign to get some of the early Missing Persons material reissued. This resulted in the release of Late Nights Early Days in 1998, a live concert recorded in 1981, with the added 1980 studio track "Action/Reaction". This was followed up by a compilation of modern remixes of classic MP tracks, Missing Persons Remixed Hits (1999). Rhyme and Reason and Color In Your Life were finally issued on CD in 2000. There were two releases in 2002: Classic Remasters is a compilation of remastered tracks and dance mixes issued by Capitol Records, and Lost Tracks is another collection of old and new MP live tracks issued by One Way Records. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ... For album titles with the same name, see 2002 (album). ...

In December of 2000, Cuccurullo again began discussing a Missing Persons reunion with Dale Bozzio, and this time it seemed more likely to come to fruition. In May of 2001, he formally left Duran Duran (who had told him of plans to reunite with their own original guitarist and drummer).^[5] The new Missing Persons, consisting of original members Warren Cuccurullo and Dale and Terry Bozzio, with keyboardist Ron Poster and bassist Wes Wehmiller, did some promotional activities and live performances in July of 2001, but the reunion did not last long. Two attempted additional concerts were cancelled at the last minute when first Terry and then Dale dropped out of the project. A TV appearance and three successful shows were put on in late 2002 and early 2003 (with drummer Joe Travers standing in for Terry Bozzio), but finally Cuccurullo declined to participate any further.

Veganism and Beliefs

For many years Cuccurullo was a vegan, shunning alcahol, any food made from animals, and dairy products. Cuccurullo was very health-conscious, taking very good care of his body, and encouraging others to do so as well. Today Cuccurullo does eat meat, and has an ocassion glass of wine, but he still respects his body immensely, which is not within the boundaries of the typical "rock star ideology." Hens kept in cramped conditions — the avoidance of animal suffering is the primary motivation of people who become vegans A vegan is a person who avoids the ingestion or use of animal products. ...

Following & Zebra Brigade

For several years a Cuccurullo fanzine titled Privacy was published by his fan club. Cuccurullo maintains a strong cult following of die-hard fans, some of whom had formed the "zebra brigade," during his Duran Duran days, which was comprised of (mostly female) fans who would follow Warren during tours, usually dressed in zebra-striped clothing. Since Warren's departure from Duran Duran, the zebra brigade has become less active. A smaller group still attends Warren's solo shows in California, but fans on the East Coast and in European countries (such as Britian, Russia, and Germany) usually do not have the resources to fly to California on such short notice to attend a show.

Trivia

• Cuccurullo often wore a black rubber shirt with a star in the center. Fans easily recognize this as one of Warren's trademark outfits, although, he hasn't worn it on stage in years.
• He is known for his great sense of humor.
• In his home in Britian, Warren had a washing machine with a zebra-stripe pattern on it.
