The Ineffable Motion

second that....

[JosiahM]

yea that is prob very true..

I've heard from some good sources, vinnie goes for 1,100/hour for sessions... you figure otu how much that comes out too...

[FuseU1]

*Phew!*...r u sure u have your figures right?! That seems a lil HIGH...

i know that many guys used to command $100 an hr, [but that's also been many moons past]...

...Altho in this nutty "Hollywood-obsessed age," I would say he could prob get close to a fat chunk from those who can & will afford it [in the LA area at least, for starters]... [u know, those w serious $$ to "burn" who wanna learn from the Guru himself...or send their kids to....] [img]wink.gif[/img] [i believe he's mostly in Nashville now, anyway; or sharing duties between LA & Nash]...

Can't say that i'd blame him tho... in this day & age, time is too short & valuable to be wasted on clowns &/or obsessive fans [& there's PLENTY of em out there, folks!], & a hi $$ amt would SIGNIFICANTLY weed out those who r just bullsh**in' around; & even if they ARE bullsh**in' around, it makes it worth his while, at a price...he has a VERY hi-level, unique, & unprecedented commodity in his drum'g prowess...i'm sure he commands the respect of a healthy wage...why not?...more power to him.... [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...but i'll also betcha that he doesn't necessarily "cut off his nose to spite his face" either...

[Anyway, all that's HIS game, & none of my frikkin business, really; just my take on the whole thing; i'll stop "talkin" bout it now....]

Is there a diff [in format] between the 2 boot Virg vids posted & the VC one?!

I downloaded the 2 VD one's fine; but the VC 1 will only open the audio, w/ no visual [img]frown.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img] [i tried dwnld'g it from both the 1 on pg 2 here, & the 1 posted on Steve's HOD site [same file]...

Any1 know why this is?! [I am on Windows '98]...
I think it said "video decompressor could not be found" when i tried it, or something like that....

Fuse, you may want to look for a newer version of Windows Media Player, or go to www.divx.com and download their latest free codex's for Media Player. This will help translate the video as well as the audio.

Does anyone know what kind of drum-kit Vinnie used on the gig?
