This one is for Vinnie- KARMA

Karma is a huge bitch:

Mark did converge on some tasty chops here. On stage and (from the looks of it) backstage as well.

His voice is SHOT

[doublev]

no wonder he is playing his guitar a lot more.

YEP. Notice how much time they waste JAMMING ??? Each song is probably an extended jam so he doesn't have to try to sing much.

[doublev]

He was a guitar teacher before he joined vvi. I am sure v was not impressed.

[Possio]

He got Fat!!!

Singing so high will catch up with you, it's hard to do it as you get older. It's hard to believe but Mark is not the young guy he used to be when he was in VVI and when Slaughter first came out.

I don't think a live show of VVI is viable with either Mark or Robert these days. The vocals are beyond them now, which is just how it is.

[shramiac]

Maybe? More due to abusing his voice I'd hazard a guess? Mike Sweet is older and still hits the high notes. Mel Blanc could still do all the voices till the day he died.

[doublev]

Robert could do it but won't and mark couldn't but would do it.
Vvi ain't going to happen anyway

[poserboy71]

Mike Weeks will sing for Vinnie.

[Brooklyn_Born]

Great idea!

[doublev]

The good thing about weeks is vv could trust him to play second guitar if a tune needed it and it may add some fullness to some tunes that are harder with one guitar. I think because weeks is a member of this board and s good friend of Andre may make it hard for v to ask him. He would be a good choice however.
As for the karma thing I find it a little distasteful to use the word karma. This is something for Buddha or god in my opinion . But distasteful is rock n roll so no worries.

Some guys just lose their voice as they get older. The Scorpions had to change keys years ago to help Klause out with his singing. It may be abuse or luck of the draw?

I asked Robert about singing the Vinnie stuff, maybe it was not in the interview and he indicated he wasn't as young as he once was, which made me think he could not do it as the record. He doesn't sing like that much.

Mike would be fantastic, vocals and guitar!!!

Karma is a bad choice of words but you get my drift.
I was looking at it through the eyes of Vinnie and what he MIGHT think about it.
