The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

mrblitz

yeah, the 1st 2 albums... great stuff.

mrblitz

yngwie is/was a great rock star. his playing though is/was a sort of 'rudimentary classical', whereas vinnie's choice of notes in playing is/was advanced beyond that. vinnie could have played for king crimson or frank zappa. i do love yngwie from alcatrazz. this to me is an example of 'peak yngwie':...

mrblitz

one of the things that stuck in my mind was that record company cat saying that vinnie would do these 45-minute guitar solos. is that true? the only evidence i have is that toronto gig on youtube, but the solo there is something like 5 minutes. 45-minute speedball jams in the middle of the show? rea...

mrblitz

i love this show, too. it was shocking to hear later, that maybe band didn't like it. (the story of tommy crying and all) regardless of any of that, the energy is just so, 'there'. it seems like maybe there are two videos of this floating around; 1 with all of the vocal problems (vocals dropping in ...

mrblitz

yeah, that's it. but if memory serves, it's actually the 2nd song from the podcast; the 1st song was some 'modern metal' that i don't know anything about.

but when this one - don't ever wanna lose ya - came on, i had a kind of flashback.... 'whoah that's new england!'

At the beginning of the potcast there is a song. It's soooo great. What is it???
Please tell me the band and song name ))

Thanks,

And the potcast ist very good!

are you talking about the song from new england? was it, 'i'm never gonna leave you?'

mrblitz

the thing they mentioned about alcatrazz might have actually been malmsteen- then vai, rather than the other way around.

mrblitz

apparently, this us fest '83 gig was a near-disaster, but the energy they brought was impressive:

on another thread, i noticed that new members were expected to check in here. my name is andy. 'mrblitz' started out as a football board moniker; as in, 'why doesn't my favorite team blitz more often on defense'? it was a sort of laziness that had me adopting the 'mrblitz' name for a bunch of other,...

mrblitz

just think about that right there... gene and paul bossing vinnie around... really? in a magazine interview gene once said something to the effect where a new band member needed 'star quality'. apparently vinnie was too big a star, though. so yeah, you needed 'star quality' to join kiss, but couldn'...

indeed, that player in my op does cheat, doesn't he? there's just something about the undertaking and attempt that is kind of !?!?!?

thanks for posting all of the other versions of 'bumblebee'...

is 'monster' a bit harsh? how about 'hooligan' instead'?

mrblitz

i'll bet vinnie is an awesome pedal steel player. what is his amp rig? 4x4x12, with 2x200 watt heads? pedal steel would be incredible through that.

mrblitz

ok, how about:

Hellion
Earthshaker
Firehouse

Has anyone seen 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston', 'Anvil', or 'Last Days Here'? It would be really cool if someone would make a Vinnie movie. Of course, Vinnie would need to be willing to talk. It would be great to see/hear Vinnie at the end of the movie, doing a gig. Anyway, I just got done watching...

mrblitz

gtar, cool stuff!

do you ever use poulin/lepou ampsims such as lextac? i like the ignite plug-ins btw.

mrblitz

yeah cool!

In an interview, Jabbs once said something to the effect of, 'Uli plays for himself. I, on the other hand, play for the people'. I really can't argue with that. Matthias also said something like, 'Michael just jams all the time; doesn't really write any songs'. That's actually a kind of fair assessm...

mrblitz

Paul Gilbert is absolutely incredible. The only I miss from his overall body of work; is that it seems he never hooked up with a great singer. As a guitar player; there's nobody better though. Gilbert's 'got it all'. And, he comes across as a friendly, humble type of guy. Some of my favorite stuff f...

still goin' strong in 2012: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKamhJ3NeHY[/youtube] one thing about minoru... it's as though he puts the 'growl/distortion' in every note; whereas in the past, he sang 'clean' or 'mellow' some of the time. i wonder if it's easier now, for him to put that 'distor...

mrblitz

thanks!

--Obviously, no click-track going in drummers ears so much in those days so, I beleive, it was quite important for the song to be at the right tempo so the sampled stuff would match and blend in just right... --- The band members - Bobby Rock in particular - must have had great internal clocks. lol....

mrblitz

so how would they do backing vocals from tape? did they have a 'sampler' and someone would press a button at the correct moment(s)?

mrblitz

One of the things that strikes me about this series of videos, is Vinnie's use of the word 'pulse' to describe some of the runs. It looks like with the double-picking, it's not striclty up-down-up-down lather rinse repeat. And if memory serves, he mentions that during the double-picking runs, he wil...

my favorite part was the soundtrack by fastway... oh, and the speech by gene about 'buying into your own hype'...

mrblitz

despite any technical problems (gating, speakers, etc.), i think this is brilliant. are any parts sped up? it seems to me the naysayers on the youtube thread don't have videos of their own which can be critiqued... so many of the other shredders; they might be 'better' technically; but there isn't a...
