As you can a diverse line up, not all are great versions. I got a promo copy so otherwise I would not have bought it.

Thanks, Rand-Man!!!

Just a quick observation -
Is it just me, or are his hi-hat Vinnie-isms sounding a little "forced"?

Please say it's just me.

Dunno, I think it sounds good, maybe what they were going for on the track. remember, this was a done in 1 take kind of track, not allot of analizing going with it.

I listened to this track once. Vinnie could have laid down a pedestrian beat, and thet track would have been lame. It seems like the producer or whoever did this, was in a fusion mode. And Vinnie is high energy all the way. It fun to listen to a pop track in which Vinnie displaces the displaced and rips some serious fills.
It sounds like the band is having fun taking it out.

Now you wouldn't hear Vinnie like this with Faith Hill or Leean Rimes. Vinnie Rocks!

I have made an mp3 of the Baby I'm a Star track featuring Vinnie on drums. It will only be on the server until Friday so download soon. The link is on the news page. Vinnie lays a really nice groove on this track with Buddy Miles singing his ass off.
(it might take a few to download for I saved it at 320, highest quality)
derek Sherinian said that Vinnie listened to the original once and they did 1 pass,Derek does a killer synth/guitar sound solo on this track.
