Jajaj, cool... Is Vinnie into boxing?

[Rodge]

I think Vinnie is not into any sport at all.

[Paul Marangoni]

He was a fan of Bruce Lee, but then again, who wasn't?

WOW...VC does look excellent in that pic...pecs thumping proud
lean and mean version! Every time I hear VC talk, I just keep thinking
of him waiting for his pizza at Joe Peeps in North Hollywood between
jams, getting home, slamming some pie with his friend, then walking
to his fridge and trying to stuff the beast inside only to have the door
pop open repeatedly...finally getting it in, walking to his jam room
and telling Landau, "Bro...I GOT IT! Attack of the 20lb Pizza."

@32:12 an insight to VC's personality...and a WHY to some of his quirks?
He fits the profile of the "gifted and talented" and the sensitivity thing
comes in various forms, but for VC, it seems his Kryptonite. Interesting
dynamic of being hyper-sensitive and a risk taker...early on, before he was
Vinnie, he had to take a lot of risks that fell flat on the other guys in the band.
His drive to HAVE to take risks is part of his personality, and possibly to develop
the technique to execute those creative musings. Not "religious" talk, but
deeply spiritual in nature...at least to me.

@37:00 he goes crazy and into a groove that reminds me of Steve Smith's groove
on Enigmatic Ocean that I tried to break down in high school that pretty much
freaked me out.

Possibly my all time fav Vinnie performance (posted b4?...maybe, but worth the repeat)
Raw and unfettered Vinnie...when greatness collaborates and freedom reigns magic happens!
