New never-before seen Vinnie footage

[S.P]

Is this clip shot during the series of gigs from which "Live at the Baked Potato" Vol. 1 and Vol 2. came from? It featured songs songs with different drummers on each tune. (I think the project was led by Jeff Richman)

[Josiah]

^ Don't think so?


I think the "over playing" argument gets real F-ing silly when you look at how many songs have guitar solos AND lead lines all over them.... you look at how many guitar solos are in a given hour of live music...

Nobody (or maybe very few?) were saying Buddy was over playing? Heck back then drum battles were late night TV. Now the guitar reigns supreme. Different time, different views.

Besides nobody plays like Vinnie, nobody. It's genius and amazing.

I actually do think some of that Richman Live at the BP CD came from this show.

what is the sticking at 0:56 to 0:59. he leads with his right then does the same figure leading with the left. ends it with some quick singles. they are all singles. i want to learn that figure. looks challenging. looks and sounds like 4 or 6 stroke ruffs.

I've played with guys who think anything beyond quarter notes is overplaying and others who, I could be pissing all over everything and they ask, "is that all you got?" Beauty and overplaying are in the eye of the beholder.

Time to time, well, very often, we need to come back watching that AWESOME clip, damn, where is my jaw...

[gretsch-o-rama]

Agreed. One of the clips competing for best VC clip ever. I'd post the other one I consider but I'd rather not have it removed from the Internet. lol

I appreciate Vinnie´s overplaying, specially in this venues (though I don´t like much this particular clip: drumming, the tune, the sax solo)

That ocean of creativity would need 100 full drumming lifes to express what he has inside if he didn´t play like this.
Anyother drummer would sound repetitive attempting that torrent of playing , but it´s not the case with Vinnie.
Remember, he is the man of...

[gretsch-o-rama]

He must take NZT....
