Hear 2 Zen Magazine talks with Vinnie Vincent

[metatron]

Vinnie Vincent in Australia August 2022.
& $US100K needed to produce new music.
Drum Machines = Sexuality. Human Drummers = Noise.

Ah, this is a 2018 interview, for a second there I thought it was April 2022 and he was planning to come here, again. This would be where the old rumour of Vinnie coming to Oz came about, that never happened.

It's also Vinnie saying those terrible things about loving drum machines so much, wow, it's almost painful to hear how much he's gushing (sexually) over a drum machine. Sad and painful.

How are sooooo many small time bands etc recording their stuff without 100k and a record company behind them? If anything what has happened since the 80's and 90's is that being able to record and release your own material has gotten easier and waaaaay better sounding. This should not be what's getting in the way. Where there's a will there's a way, and so far it seems there hasn't been much will.

This. I mean what's changed is the complete opposite of what he's saying. It's NEVER BEEN EASIER to release quality sounding music these days. Look at Stephen Pearcey and John Corabi - basically releasing high quality music out their back bedrooms for relative peanuts.

"People like me who do what I do.......have to record in a recording studio" - what like thousands of other artists who are able to put music out without $100K in their back pockets?

This is what happens when you live in the past and only put out promotional material with pictures of you that are 20, 30 years old.

I agree. I hate drum machines. They will never come close to the greatness of Bobby Rock.
