Is Vinnie Past His Prime?

Benrand,
You mind your manners when talking about Sting.

Wow, tough words from a guy who was too timid to tell us the name of the 'big' rock band he was playing with...

I'm a liberal but seeing as this is a drumming board, I keep my political BS where it belongs. (in my head)

As always, keep the debate on the topic, not on the member arguing it. There's NO excuse for taking shots at each other and if that's what you want to do, take it to another forum please.

Thanks! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Steve Holmes looked warily at Five Eight and said, "Man, you've stirred up more shit on my site than any TWO people put together."

"Thanks for the compliment, but please, Steve, I blushda easily. But not to worry, mayne, I'll fix it."

"Do it!"

So okay, guys, back in your corners, splash some water on your face. Breathe. We'll settle this at the first HOD Hang with a drum battle.

I can assure you newcomers there's already been quite a card shapin' up over the last few years, as a certain Mr. Walker, PocketPlayer, and a few others will attest. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Besides, if anybody's gonna come onto one of my threads and fire the first shot I want it to be me. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My apologies to the board and everyone here. I'm here to exchange ideas, give a helping hand where I can, and to try and give a positive message to the threads. It's a reflection upon myself for lashing out.

Five Eight..... It's all your fault!! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Benrand........

You have a PM from me.

Randy, I missed it the first time around but I think fuse is wrong about Vin, he's a Republican. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's not a big rock band.....we just got some interest and might take it to the next level. I will be posting a couple of tracks when they come out of the mix up in about 2 weeks time. I have no doubt that you will give me your objective opinion then.......Avi my old china.

Apologies to the management if I've stirred up a Sting storm....but I take exception to unfounded and unwarrented insults of respected artists like him....not on this board.

Is Vinnie past his prime?.....no but he is beyond trying to prove himself. It's there when the music needs it.

So these 2 goyums walk into a bar and..... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Baaadamp.... bump!!!

Well... just got home from a very nice dinner with Brian Bromberg and his wife lisa. Tom his engineer was there too. Had a great time BS'ing and stuff. Brian showed me his new addition to the studio, it's really gonna be nice when he gets it done. Now its pretty huge!!

Talked about the Jeff Berlin recording at Brian's studio with Vinnie a week or so ago, these were Brians exact words..........

"If it wasn't because of who Vinnie is, and what he does/the way he plays, it would have never worked out or sounded the way it did. He's just amazing. He recorded all 9 tunes in two days, playing some of the most complex stuff I've seen, and he nailed it with no mistakes."

Brian said the CD will be 1st released in Japan around June, and then should hit the U.S. around August. Brian's going for promo pictures tomorrow for his new CD with Vince and Waldman. That one should be out pretty soon. Was there for that recording. You guys will love that one!!

They're currently mixing the tracks, so I should have a pre-production copy of it in a couple of weeks. I'll let you guys know what it sounds like, maybe post a snippet or two to get a taste??

I guess Vince will be back in May recording at Brians for some chick singer. Brian mentioned her name, I don't remember it right now off the top of my head.

Five Eight and Got a match.....

You guys rock. Always the lighter side of HOD.

But its still your faults [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] The both of youz guyz
