On the fiddler from the soulgrass album he credits vinnie as master drummer Vinnie F. Colaiuta

"Darol was invited to participate in a week of "Soulgrass", a live re-creation of jazz saxophonist Bill Evans' new CD release, at the famed Yoshi's Jazz Club in northern California. This four-night run featured Darol with Bill Evans, Bela Fleck, Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets) and master drummer Vinnie F. Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, sting, everyone else), playing mighty electric soul/bluegrass contusion music"

Is this a Typo or is it a secretive middle name that we (I) didnt know about?

Oh, I thought the "F" was for Vinnie "Fivethousand times better than you" Colaiuta.

I honestly get ill sometimes when I read some of these posts.
The first thing that comes to mind, is GET A LIFE guys.

This tangent is not only for this poster, I suppose it's a build up.

I am well aware that is a Vinnie and Dave board first. However, WHO CARES if Vinnie has a reverse lisp when he speaks? WHO CARES what VInnie's middle name is? Want to know what kind of shampoo Vinnie uses? Want to know what form of Christianity he's now into?
NOT ME...
Let's talk drumming.

And personally, I think you are lacking intellect to say anyone is the best drummer in the world. No one is. Drumming is an art form, not a sport.

Hey, smitty, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Wanna know what really makes me ill? Holier-than-thou attitudes. May I suggest chilling with an invigorating Hass CD. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Or you could get a life and stop reading the posts. Or stop posting here altogether. I'm certain that wouldn't cause much loss of sleep among the HOD brothers and sisters.

Groove...come on man.
I fully understand your point and would have to agree with you if people that responded to the first post went out of their way to launch an investigation to find out Vinnie's middle name. Things were taken with a grain of salt and I doubt the responses were supposed to be taken very seriously (including mine!).
October 2nd, 2005, 01:53 AM
S.P

I do care what his middle name is, every new thing i find out about him keeps him fresh and new to me and gives me more inspiration.

Plus, This was meant to be a bit of a joke anyway as im sure that it was a typo

and if it isn't...well its just a bit of trivia then

Suspiria, you're a class act but I think your response to grooveshitty's post was too nice. Joe Kennedy lost a Presidential election in the 40s because he was 'soft on Fascism.' He said something along the lines of: it was okay for the Black and Brown shirts to conquer and occupy Belgium and Poland as long as they stopped there.

Would you let bullies come into your 'hood, foul your nest and start pushing you and your friends around? I know your answer and I rest my case.

Groove's been here for barely five months and wants to ram his opinion down everyone's throat like it's the only one that counts. What'cha got to say about that, GS? You wanna do verbal warfare with me (yeah, it's a Vinnie quote), boy? I said boy because no man would mealy-mouth a post like that pissy little rant of yours.

I'm an eye for an eye, call a punk a punk kinda guy and I'm eagerly waiting for your reply, GS. Bring it on! [img]mad.gif[/img]

You owe the board an apology and should make yourself scarce, pal.

My answer is no, but I also won't get worked up on how someone I don't know doesn't like what is discussed on this board. Just trying to ease the tension a little, naaahmean? I guess I'll take the comment about me being too nice as compliment, or am I missing some sarcasm?

Is it a phuckin' full moon 2nite or what?

One man's art form is another man's hobby. I don't know about you but I'm havin' a ball, but I'm off my meds too.

Isn't Vinnie driving a dysentery green '67 Dodge Polara with a doughnut wheel and duct tape holding the back door shut cause the hinge is out of whack?

The session shortage is causing everyone to tighten their belt. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

Aw, go light on SP, he's a relatively young drummin' cat who's gettin' into Vinnie as one of his next drummin'-brutha'-heroes. Nothing wrong w that. [& thx to this board, i'm sure he's discovered the great Hass AW]... ;-]

I just wanna let you guys know that i could care less about what they meant by "F"...i wanna know about what designer socks he's wearin'... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Groove!!??

What is with you dude?? 1st you slam Weckl about his passion for cars, and now S.P. for some useless trivia fun?? Dood!! Are you really a musician or some up tight cruise ship director??

We've gone rounds before, but this is just stupid man. Chill.

So for the useless trivia fans out there, he drives a Dodge Durango. And I think the "F" is for Famularo (kidding).

Altho i do like AWA appreciate DF, AWA his positivity, proactivity, & enthusiasm. [img]cool.gif[/img]

F = finesse, fantastically-fabuloso, AWA firepower...

It does not =: flatulence...or Fabio.

I just think it's pathetic that's all.
Like the magazines most low intellect Americans read that talk about the personal lives of celebs. I find it embarassing that musicians are doing the same thing. If you want to talk about Weckl's mullet, his cars, Vinnie wearing a tank top and sweats when the rest of the band is wearing suits, or his speech impedement, I guess that is fine. You're right, I don't have to respond or read. Excuse me for thinking some of you guys had a little more to contribute than that nonesense.
5/8, I'm actually checking out Kenny Wolleson at the moment. I had my fill of Hass last month. What's interesting to me is that you mention ME not having a life for reading the posts. Well pal, what does that say for the person posting them? Hmmmm...I'll let you ponder that one while I go do some shedding on Against The Clock.
I also do not believe my opinions require an apology. In my book this kind of talk is pathetic and does not belong on a musicians board. As far as I know all of our opinions are accepted here.

All opinions are accepted here but not all of them respected. A vast gulf separates the two. You were abrasive and disrespectful to me, and my friends. I diagnose an acute case of superiority-itis or maybe it's just small drumstick syndrome. Better tell your mom to get you a band-aid.

In the future it would behoove you to approach those with opinions different from your own with tact.

Agreed...

Also agree. [img]wink.gif[/img]

But, that is JMO & one can honestly contend w me on that one AWA feel free to hate me because of it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Just don't try to tell me VD swings. I quickly repented of that mis-stated intended thought. As i should have. [;-P

Just "don't hate me because i tend to know what's up w the heavy players [but can't play worth a shedt like them]"... LOL

Just ramblin' a drummer's mindless rave at this point. [Too bad it wasn't a "real musicians'" POV]...

Where'd you go, groove? I was just gettin' warmed up. Guess a matched grip redneck country boy like me and a Long Island city slicker like you ain't got much to say to each other.

I don't have a problem with that.

Just don't try to run any more of your brand of metaphoric Fascism by me. [img]graemlins/sleepy.gif[/img]

Groove...
If you think it's pathetic, then I would suggest staying away from these topics then. We already know where you stand when it comes to giving someone a piece of your mind. Although... most of the time, it's not well recieved. Maybe you should concentrate on being more friendly towards others here and the "tone" in which you post. I think that would probably go a long way.

The overwhelming majority of pro players don't post on websites such as these. Most of time the comments I get are, "I'm busy living it rather than reading about it". But that's not to insult those pro's that take the time to grace us with their presence here. I think it's all good.

I know sometimes when something comes of interest here, some of my friends will check out the website just to see what's going on. It's just another venue to move drumming into the future.

I commend all those here at HOD that make this a great place for drummers to get together.

In closing...... I guess what I'm saying is your "opinions" are fine. Just try to tone them down a little and not be so offensive in your posts. A positive spin is always more accepted than a negative one.

5/8....
Funny how a matched grip city slicker like me and a matched grip redneck country boy like you have alot in common!! Maybe it's all in the grip?? LOL!! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
