Post by JimDid I hear Billy Gibbon's say "Vinnie" after he performed Foxy Lady
with Beck's band? I think he did...if so that is so cool for him to
acknowledge him.
Jim
I presume (after staring at it for a while) that "R&RHOF" stands for "Rock and Roll Hall Of
Fame"...
I do know that "HBO" refers to one of those channels that many of us probably don't get...
Do you have any web links to the performance?
I also presume you're referring to "Jeff Beck" and not that other "Beck" guy.
When you say "Vinnie" I guess you're referring to Vinnie Colaiuta... Admittedly, as
drummers most of us know who "Vinnie" is...
... perhaps I'm living in the dark by not knowing that Vinnie was playing with Jeff Beck's band?
By the way, there is no apostrophe in the middle of Billy Gibbons' name.
Have you had your morning coffee yet? :-)
In any event, there's no doubt that Billy Gibbons is a supremely cool dude, and it doesn't
surprise me that he knows exactly who Vinnie Colauita is, even though their musical paths
might never have crossed paths before (just a guess on my part). I remember thinking it
both very odd and very cool when I read in the early eighties that Billy Gibbons and Robert
Fripp were both great admirers of each others work and that they enjoyed hanging together...
