The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

mrblitz

i really like this. it kind of sounds like the 'soundboard guy' was having problems though.

oh the horn section might be my favorite thing about this.

mrblitz

a power trio would be cool. drummer, bassist, and vinnie on guitar/vocals.

mrblitz

amazing!

so many of us want a video, and you actually got to see/hear it in person.

mrblitz

updated 'battle in seattle', 'unemployed blues', and 'touch'.

mrblitz

cool interview. thanks!

mrblitz

mrblitz

only thing i remember is the line, 'death by matrimony'.

mrblitz

of these 5, 'here today, drone tomorrow' is probably the most accessible to an audience who would mostly be into '80s covers. cool interlude.

mrblitz

i could see it now... you guys dropping 'clone of a clone' on the sort of audience shown in the video...

seriously, if you can play covers for a living, more power to you. that's what classical musicians do after all!

mrblitz

great stuff!

freedom, that's what i'm sayin'!

this singer is awesome. what a great band.

mrblitz

yeah, this has a lot of energy. cool!

kind of reminds me of the cult.

mrblitz

yeah, shramiac, shred on!

mrblitz

oops.. it was Winterland... not to be confused with wonderland..

mrblitz

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz5pDufk57o[/youtube] has anyone else here listened to this multiple times? i love the energy of this.... makes me wonder if i've got arrested development, like a 14-year-old forever... lol as an aside, it sounds to me like it opens with gene way too loud, and...

mrblitz

ok, i've gotten my http://fawm.org 2013 album done early: jukebox: http://archive.org/details/Touch_273 album art, lyrics: http://archive.org/details/TouchExtraFiles .zip of all songs, with 'album art' and lyrics: http://archive.org/details/TouchAlbumIn.zipFileIncludingCoverArtAndLyrics this is the ...

mrblitz

i'm hearing frontline assembly too. this is awesome stuff. 1031 is right that it would be a big hit in clubs. it's got an overall edge, and excellent percussion underneath 'organic' sounding guitars and bass. do you use reaper or ableton live or somesuch host? do you have hardware or software synths...

mrblitz

say, thanks for the listens/comments! really made my day.

mrblitz

yeah the drummer sounds like a monster.

good listen overall. my favorite from these first 4 songs might be the 4th; it seems almost 'celtic'.

mrblitz

i listened through this set, and enjoyed the guitar. vocalist - yes, i was thinking just that... 'these songs could use a singer'. i think soundcloud might mess with people's mixes. for instance, 're-converting' mp3s that are uploaded; oh, and always playing back at 128kbps (or, after the update, so...

mrblitz

here's a recently completed 'album', and this month's fawm.org efforts so far: odds and ends: http://archive.org/details/OddsAndEnds fawm: http://fawm.org/fawmers/mrblitz000/ what the heck, here's the album from before odds and ends, 'mutation': http://archive.org/details/Mutation (i guess it has it...

mrblitz

ankh, cool mixture of more traditional playing, with 'synth-like' textures.

(edit: ooh yeah, this 'Kind of...... blue.......Deep into the blue' is my fav so far. how do you do that? you have a vg-80 or whatever it's called?)

mrblitz

yeah, i was speaking more to the guy who made that video about all of steve's imagery.

it is interesting, but i'm not at all convinced that it is what that guy says it is.

i'm looking forward to listening and contributing on the vvforums music thread.

mrblitz

i don't believe that steve vai is a satanist. although, the story of frank zappa (vai's early boss) might have some interesting background to it; that is if you believe what dave mcgowan says about it. check out the 'center for an informed america' website, and the 'laurel canyon' series of articles...

mrblitz

vinnie, we miss you. here's hoping you can make it back on your own terms.

mrblitz

as an aside, another chicken picker... eric johnson (but i think maybe he only uses one extra finger, and not two like vinnie)

mrblitz

I Was Made for Loving You... ymmv

mrblitz

so, i was watching 'perks of being a wallflower' or whatever it's called; and there was a scene where they were in a theatre, watching rocky horror picture show. and the phrase, 'creatures of the night' must have happened multiple times during that sequence. so, i was wondering; did kiss get the 'cr...

mrblitz

keep on a-rockin'!

mrblitz

i hear ya, dino. throughout history, government and media have given little or no reason to be trusted. i'm not sayin' nobody died; just that you can never tell with these kinds of stories; what really happened. edit: this is one of the reasons i love rock and roll. leave the politics and news out o...

mrblitz

yeah 'fooling around' might not be the right words, but on one of the youtube comments sections for the 'super8 cam' videos, it seemed like some people were basically saying randy was taken aback at the incredible reception to what he was doing.

idk...definitely loved his guitar worked in any event.

mrblitz

mrblitz

oh, there is at least one other guy doing chicken picking in the shred world... zakk wylde. but i think vinnie's the best at it. i tried some chicken picking, but it's not happening here. instead, have to find a place to hold the pick aside, whilst going full-on finger picking... just can't seem to ...

mrblitz

so, were there a bunch of ace takes that were left on the cutting room floor?

mrblitz

some people say randy was just 'fooling around' in ozzy, and was taken aback when people started saying how great he was. apparently the ozzy stuff wasn't too difficult for randy to play. other people say that randy was headed for the world of classical guitar in any event. if randy had lived, my gu...

mrblitz

yeah, fantastic player. great rhythms, and leads which definitely 'hold their own'.

mrblitz

oh, that 'love you to death' is a great track. i lreally ike all of that - rhythm and solo - guitar playing! intense song... edit: check this out from the youtube comments: ---lets see if i have the timeline correct. (1) Sean Kelley & Wendy Dio fire Ann Boleyn from Hellion; (2) After a legal fight, ...

mrblitz

it looks like maybe chet was in ww3 for just a little while, around 1988 or '89; then tracy g joined in 1990. the only thing of tracy's i'm familiar with is dio's 'angry machines'. of that album, i remember thinking it wasn't really my thing, but whilst listening to it; was making mental notes on th...

mrblitz

yeah, chet thompson was one of the greats. if you're interested, check out the 'chetthompsonguitar' account on youtube. it has some cool videos with the band world war 3 featuring mandy lion on vox. cheers!

mrblitz

yeah man, funky too!

mrblitz

cool!

mrblitz

what do you call that, 'rhythm and blues?' whatever else it is, it's awesome.

edit: listening further, it sounds like they do a lot of straight-ahead rock. good stuff!

mrblitz

thanks! i'm not going to pretend to have 'vinnie-level-chops', but i often think of him while building a solo.

mrblitz

do you think vinnie would approve?

Princess Singer

this one has my pal trent on drums, with me on guitar, bass, and vocals.

trent and i were in a band called 'shockwave' back in '85. we just hooked up again a few years back, and collaborated on this tune.

mrblitz

yeah, by the time it rolled around, vinnie could have been a regular participant in G3 tours/shows.

mrblitz

on music from: the elder, it sounds like ace more or less mailed it in, where he was recycling riffs from the mid '70s. it's like there's not a whole lot of 'evolution' to his playing. overall, this album is kind of 'cheesy', but has its strengths. it was actually the opening bars to 'a world withou...

mrblitz

ace could definitely hold his own; and he was a perfect fit for the original lineup.

mrblitz

the '75 show from winterland is awesome, and there are some great live recordings from '76, but the full 1983 rio show would be incredible in its own right.

kiss with vinnie vincent at rio 1983 for the win!
