Capt. Beefheart?

Good guess, but no.

Gerry Garcia?

Steve Vai and Captain Beefheart were good guesses.

Cause they regularly played with Zappa?

Was it Bo-zee-oh?

Yep. Collaiuta played drums on Joe's Garage, but Bozzio was the voice of Bald-Headed John. He confirmed that, in person, at a Guitar Center clinic I went to.

Apparently not, as we've managed to answer the questions.

What was the first band to release the song entitled Moonage Daydream?

Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars?

Incorrect, suprisingly.

errr...David Bowie ???
