The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Possio

really really well put by everyone!! /Olle

Possio

That being a Swedish magazine, I bought it at the newsstand back in 82 (11 years old) the week it came out! I think it was a mixed feeling of shock ( definately no Ace now..)and a feeling of wow! that new character looks pretty bad ass! haha.. too bad it lasted so short. I was less impressed by the ...

Possio

I told you!!!!Now if only more people would listen to me! haha...

Possio

well, unless somebody can prove/show that song exist on a demo pre 1983...I dunno:

Pyromania
Released: 20 January 1983

Vinnie Vincent Invasion (album)
August 2, 1986

Possio

No Substitute is basically Photograph... The whole song structure, intro riff, Clean guitars with
with alotta lush voicings etc. I really like em both! Not a rip, just very "inspired by" idea. /Olle

Possio

To some it might seem depressing, but to each their own. If V wants to do the computer thing
,then so be it. Im not waiting for anything. I just like the guitar aspect of what V did before
and discussing music/tech with other guitar nuts.

Possio

Yeah, well I get what you are saying, but even IF somebody was to help out ( for a percentage or summat) with the getting stuff out, I think even those people/company would realize there´s such little chance of seeing any kind of financial benefit in todays world... some 10 years back it might have ...

Possio

I think the best songs are already out... I mean "Ride The ..." it wasnt that awsome of a song ,was it ? Anyway, If you think about it, how much money could the guy make from releasing every single demo (in high Q sound) on, lets say: iTunes, before they are all out there in "internet-land" free of ...

Possio

yup Doublev2, I think you are on to something. Not to sound lika an amateur shrink here, but, Actually I believe being able to go in and out of personalities might be a good thing for writing songs and stuff, where you write lyrics from somebody elses point of view of sorts, like an actor...Not so c...

Possio

yeah, well, I know what you´re saying but I have both the Treasure live show from Wolfg vault and the Treasure Cd and altough "petatonic" and somewhat blues based I wouldnt say it is Ace´s style.. Way diff then what came later for sure for V but, still not the same blues stuff Ace was pulling. Also,...

Possio

also, a lotta talk about V sounding "like Ace but better"...come on, from a musician like Adam here...
V doesnt sound (and never) did sound anything remotely like Ace, for better or worse...

Possio

it was an alright interview. The "dress thing" was confirmed which has been put forward on this forum before, although few people could/wanted to quite believe it... Dude wants to wear a dress... I´m all for it...whatever works for you... I seem to sense some people want to belittle V´s songwriting ...

Possio

yeah, good question, it was quite common back then to have the sound engineer press the the button or maybe have the drummer hit the button at the right place in the song. 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 ...

Possio

Is that legal?

Possio

Always loved Simmons´s Bass playing style, and his tone is cool too on this one!
Supposedly (acc to the man himself) his bass-playing is in the "Motown style": Four Tops, Temptations etc,
and naturally, McCartney. He´s also perfectly on the beat which creates a snappier feel I think.
/O

Possio

yep, sped up a "half tone" E sounds like Esharp, but yes, I don´t think they ever played
the songs as fast again as with V (82-84). slowest and sluggiest I ever heard it was in 1996.

Possio

My Bad,
whoops, sorry, looked more closely at the pics, Gene´s autograph IS on the back of
the bass, so, does that make it more or less believable?
I guess one has to ask Gene to be sure.

Possio

Gene is wearing a ring=indicates that pic is as recent as his wedding, what´s that? last 6 months? so, according to seller, Gene sold the bass in the seventies to Twisted guy: Dictators, 1978 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Mendoza then, there was an auction, what auction? the one that was 10 year...

Possio

well, Im still skeptical, some strange shading on his heck? I dunno.maybe it is Gene.
Only way to really find out would be to ask Gene personally if he in fact Did Pose for the picture,
but, then again, why would he do it (pose)to help somebody else make 20+ thousand dollars?
Not his style.....

Possio

Is it just me or isn´t that a photo-shopped pic of Gene guy holding bass in the kitchen?
look how superimposed that "Gene head" looks on that body...I smell fraud...or am I wrong?

Possio

Tim Minchin is a comedian, actor, composer, songwriter, pianist...

Possio

what did he or she pick up? .......

Possio

About sped up:
Check with your guitar or keyboard if it´s in E concert pitch (440 Hz) ?
if yes, it´s not sped up.
Rock on,

Possio

Not really related to Bob but I thoght I´ll rely this clip to anyone intersted in V´s playing style, scale coloring and "all that Jazz".... J. Scofield, old 80ties class. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wGHQh_kQ2E[/youtube] Especially at the 7 minute mark and fw a bit. If that aint the V sc...

Possio

I just got an idea! Why not ask "SuzyQ" or whatever her name is or somebody To Ask Vin how the
Danger Solo lick goes and "she" can post the notes, preferably in the right order..haha...and
then I can have some fun with it? Hey!...../O

Possio

I´m with pinkWiz and who ever else, It´s Vinnie on Danger alright. He has that "ascending lick" or climb up the scale that is totally his invention sorta... You can here similar things in Fits Like and in his Solo spot during that tour. Sounds like Dorian with a few chromaticisms thrown in.... Cool ...

Possio

I think it takes more than just knowing jazz chords and its theory to be "bad ass" Jazz gutarist,...You really have to live and breath (naturally Play) Jazz all the time for it to happen. I myself (and many many others) can do Misty and all the other Jazz classics but that doesnt "make me" a real Ja...

Possio

Oh sorry guys, now I get it!, " ? "-it´s just somebody´s home made tribute recording,
sounds good thou...

Possio

? Yeah, who the %&¤# is that on Lead Guitar? Rythm, could be V? but lead, Kulick or maybe
somebody else, I don´t really recognize all of the note choices but could be Bruce non the less....

Possio

perhaps we could all ship in a little on the conversion money ? then all share the stuff.
just a thought....

Possio

Possio

I´m with Birnie, "if you´re not doing it,.... you don´t have it" (Jat Leno quote about still being a stand up comic) I think V can play, but nowhere near what was going on in the 80ties. I woudnt sound THAT impressive... But, lottsa practice, sure, it´s start to improve and eventually impress again....

Possio

Pretty awful if you ask me.....

Possio

erg2, You had a Mustang II ! Wow

Possio

I´m surprised the photographer didnt do a Phil Spector on him!?

Possio

Good points there too shramiac. Sure, Vinnie knows his "shit" just like so many other (rock)fusion players do. It´s just really hard to pull those chord voices thru with massive distortion and stuff.....It just turns to mush. Then if you do play clean and let the chords ring clean, it´s no longer Ha...

Possio

I love it for the weirdness of it all. The basic idea seems to be: as long as the harmonic structure is really static, like ( E5 and/or D5 and no 3ds etc etc..) you can color with whatever notes, harmonic structure you like and let the lead be the color of the chord, as opposed to the other way arou...

Possio

Regarding the lack of plastic covers on the guitars:
I think it just has to do with keeping with that Raw look that everybody wanted to
have back then, and pretty much instigated by E. Van Halen of course...
/O

Possio

Some Friday Fun.

This song will never be more right!!!
Clue in 2nd line of verse:

Enjoy your weekend.
/Olle

Possio

Nice cars Slayer! Love the Vette. What 0-60 do you have for that one? Any problems with traction "off the line" so to speak? Also, is having lottsa performace stickers on a muscle car dorky or cool? opinions please... :lol: I have 1 silly sticker right now on the 1990 Mustang GT you can see earlier ...

Possio

He got Fat!!!

Possio

And,...Todd is very "Laura Nyro" sometimes so, yeah definately true. Todds great, got most
of his albums on CD and the odd original vinyl of his like Something/Any etc.

By the way, What word does that old Rundgren album rhyme with ?....

/Olle

Possio

agreed doublev! Mandolin is a superb store, I picked up a Martin D-35 there last year. Salesman Mike was more than a little patient with me....superb service and advice. Their Guitars are also mostly really well set up and adjusted by their shop, so, their guitars play a little bit better that they ...

Possio

Yeah, this is cool! This is probably what got the guy kicked out of the band....
-No, today you have to refer to me as Denise, or I won´t play...
- Yes, I will sign that contract for you, but as Suzie, nothing else....

Possio

Cool idea, but I think it would be better to have them show what they can do with
the jazz standards,(more enjoyable for the general audience) Just my opinion anyway...As for real jazz cats, I really like Larry Coryell.
His Tricycles album is fantastic. cool vibe and not so totally "out".
/Olle

Possio

No idea...A guy from back in the day?, maybe a buddy from
the old "music row" store days, 48th street NYC, you know ? just a thought...
Maybe you guys can track him (the name) down somehow?
Rock on. /O

Possio

Funny comment on "Wolfangs Vault" regarding the Treasure concert at the Bottom Line in 77´.

Possio

A book. The Semi-famous Gibson Les Paul Book: "The beaty of the burst". Everything you ever wanted to know about the legendary 1958-60 LP Sunbursts. I love that "nerdy" stuff. Supposedly V owned one at some point, but I´m not sure it´s true. Never had the info verified by a pic or anyone who saw it....

Possio

Hi, Does anybody have the show: Brooklyn, L'Amours 12-11-86 NY, and could perhaps extract the "White Christmas" part and put a link to it here or maybe YouTube it ? That would be a great boost for the Holiday spirit ! I remember hearing it way back and lided it, I remember he kinda "tapped it" ala E...

Possio

yes, the "Yankee Doodle Dixie" part abvoiusly comes from an old Chet record. Chet used his Gretches for the most part but Vinnie´s using a very "Trebly" Nylon/ Classical type guitar I think. Sorry for saying this but I also believe its ever so slightly sped up. like a 1/4 step os so. Just an idea. I...
