What if Vinnie did 'Techno'?

What if Vinnie contacted say, Depeche Mode or New Order and asked to tour with one of these kinds of bands?

I think it would be way cool if one of these types of 'electronic/disco/techno' bands had a bit of Vinnie mixed in.

It seems like any number of these older, 'dance bands' could use a musical shot in the arm, and Vinnie might be the guy to give it.

Oh, how about Vinnie touring with Madonna?...

Or, what if he were with newer acts such as Katy Perry or Lady GaGa? It would seem to me that Vinnie could reach out to any number of bands, and ask to play a part.

the mind reels...

I don't know why, but I chuckled imagining Vinnie on stage with Lady Kaka or Katy Perry xD

It would be cool if Vinnie reached out to anyone.

He could have any gig he wanted . I would hope that he would choose a gig that not only paid well but also something that he could shine in in all of his areas of talent.
Vinnie would've owned in Whitesnake.
He would've owned in a Country setting.

I understand and respect Nuno playing in Rhianna's band BUT could care to see it. HE is ONLY the guitarist. He might even be the band director.. BIG DEAL.
He can write some stanky, funky, shit and sing his ass off.
Wasted talent at a price but at least he's doing it.

Techno.. haha. The word cracks me up.
I hate dj culture the most. Some of those guys get 100k per hour for playing other peoples crappy music and the audience watches them like they are great musicians.. fuck thats the end of music if you ask me.

Amen. My buddy who lives in Thailand is actually a pretty popular DJ there. That doesn't mean I enjoy or agree with it.

i would agree that djs aren't musicians. they generally have a good sense of timing, and can readily go from one pre-recorded track to the next, and then throw in their banter, and maybe their little 'sound effects' riffs; but real musicians?... nope.

now, of the artists that make the tracks that the djs spin; a lot of them could be counted as musicians. someone like skrillex is a musician as far as i'm concerned. ymmv

the thing is; i was watching a concert by depeche mode on 'letterman' from earlier this month, and the thought arose; 'what if a bit of vinnie were sprinkled into this?'

anyway, agreed that dj culture is kind of sad for we old-timers. pretty much regardless of musical genre; we grew up with people on drum kits, keys, bass, guitars, and vocals, etc.; all with the ability to play together, live. as clever and rhythm-oriented as a lot of djs might be; dj culture gets away from this.

be that as it may, what if you had vinnie in depeche mode, or someone even heavier; like frontline assembly?

i must be listening for the fusion of 'techno/electronic' and 'shred guitar'; '2 styles' that have in the past been generally at odds with one another...

I have mentioned previously how cool it would be if Vinnie paired with Gaga. Oh the sounds they could make!

Vinnie has done this. The debut album has a bunch of cool dance beats meet Metal moments.

Holy shit Rick... when I first bought the VV Invasion's first record, I saw the Do U Wanna Make Love title and thought maybe they had remade the 1977 tune! :)

Love that tune btw!

The funny thing is Ive seen them rip off music from very and I mean VERY obscure 8 bit games and pass it on as their own. AN example would be this dj:

That music is from Action 52 a "legal" multicart released by a Florida company that was also based in The Bahamas to avoid paying taxes. Apparently the owners of the company are shady characters and tend to threaten anyone who tries to research the defunct company.

i've got to take back the thing about skrillex being a musician. he's probably more like a 'composer' or 'step-sequence-guy'. maybe he enters the various parts in real-time, but i doubt it.

it is a skill for a dj to be able to string a bunch of pieces together, but agreed that it's not exactly being a 'musician'.

oh, and blatantly ripping stuff and claiming it as one's own? meh

for me the bottom line is; no matter what the genre, can they play it in real time? that makes a musician afaiac. there might also be some grey area; between musician and 'sample button pusher'.

oh, and vinnie would indeed be a great fit with gaga. she would probably let him 'fly' a bit; unlike rihanna who seems to keep a tight leash on nuno.

vinnie could be on the phone; or he could have a manager on the phone; dialing up every conceivable act where he might be a fit. (oh, or he could do it all himself, too.) sigh. 'greatest guitar player ever'. great singer. great songwriter. apparently with feet of clay.

(oh, and also; i meant to post this thread in 'vinnie discussion' but it landed in 'interviews' by accident.)

I still wonder how Mark got up the courage to let himself be filmed with women's panties on the outside of his pants.

That was Dana's way of convincing Cusano to hire Mark?
