    What a great human and musician David Foster is. Had a privilege to work with him with my then band Avtograf in "off the studio" projects in late 80s. He even came to Moscow back then to see us live, made some sharp after-show remarks, and invited to Canada, where we shared stage with Chicago. Thank you for great interview, Vinnie! 🙏

    Oh wow, I just discovered this channel, love your work Vinnie, and I remember in the 90s realizing that so many of my favorite songs were written by David Foster. I then bought his 80's solo CD, loved that, with Warren W singing so many of the songs, and David's soundtrack work is just amazing, and etc etc. Love this stuff. Vinnie, will you do any Jeff videos? Jeff is my favorite all time drummer.

    Hi Vinnie, I worked at a studio in the mountains of Calabasas for about two years and we did quite some sessions together and all of these were the HIGHLIGHTS of my time in SoCal 🍀 I remember some great chats we had outside during breaks as well as seeing your incredible chops during the sessions. It certainly affected me in my professional and also personal life. To not take things too serious, but always strive for the best possible result when "on air".
    I am happy to see this channel here and I am looking forward to seeing brilliant content like this. Thank you, Vinnie 🎉

    Cuando VC vino a Buenos Aires con Sting, se había unido a la banda a último momento y no tuvo tiempo de ensayar. Según supe, Vinnie escuchó y estudió las canciones durante el vuelo. La única posibilidad que tenían de ensayar fue durante la prueba de sonido pero, cómo no era tiempo suficiente, Sting le pidió al artista soporte local, si podía ceder su turno de prueba de sonido. El artista gentilmente accedió y todo salió de maravilla. Esto lo contó el artista local llamado Cesar Pueyrredón, un exitoso y prestigioso cantautor argentino.

    Great interview. You mentioned being able to recognize identity different drummers even when playing the same beat. That reminded me that I was once listening to a recording of a BB King live concert. I said to myself “that sounds like Stix Hooper.”
    Turns out it was. I don’t know why he has such an identifiable sound. It must just be his personality shining through.

    Maybe if David Foster comes back here to read some comments and even answer a question, back around 7 maybe 8 years ago he was shown a truly great South Korean lyric soprano and Gospel singer name Kim Sohyang. I know David was very excited about her and now his former record group Warner is going to be distributing her new album worldwide this September of 2024. What is happening between you David and Sohyang and are you two going to collaborate on an album or a concert for production? Sohyang _seems_ to be more open to stepping out on the world stage in the last few years, and if there is a real Super Star soprano that the world just doesn't know much about it is Sohyang! But she is as good as Whitney Houston and I think David would agree. 👀👌🎙🎸💖💖💖

    @WineSippingCowboy 7 місяців тому +1

    I do consider David Foster as 1 of the GOAT 🐐 producers AND songwriters. 😎😎
    He worked with fellow Victoria native Nelly Furtado. In the 1970s and 1980s, Foster often bumped into Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance, Bob Rock and the late Bruce Fairbairn in Vancouver. Fosyer worked with so many other musicians, from Canada 🇨🇦, the USA 🇺🇸 and the rest of the world 🌎.
    Recently, David Foster interacted with musicians in Asia 🌏 including in Asia's Got Talent. His recent collaboration is with Morissette Amon. She is the current queen 👸 of OPM (Original Philippine Music).
    20:45 No excess fat. Similar to how Randy Goodrum writes ✍ songs. Steve Perry knows: he with Goodrum and Foster.
    The film 🎥 equivalent is the typical Hong Kong 🇭🇰 movie 🎥: done ✔ fast with essentials.
    The son of Foster reminds me of Wolfgang van Halen: son of a famous musician and start with drums.
    Mutt Lange is noted for overdubs and long sessions.

    People here aren't going to like this here. As a long time professional musician since 1979 and conneseur of all that is popular music from the 50's-2000 but only the sidelines lurking since.. David Foster & Mutt Lange are ground zero for the homogenization, plastization, auto tuning & digital dehumnization of modern music.. period! David's comments on taking over the sound of Chicago, even replacing it's member musicians during recording with studio musicians is one of the main reasons Chicago lost the organic soul, grit and honesty of them as a group which made them unbelievable.
    Can you imagine David Foster being called to produce the Beatles after the final line up had been set when John & Paul told Pete Best he was no longer in the band? The only guys in the Beatles that was as good technically as a studio musician was Paul on bass, drums, rhythm guitar and maybe piano. The Beatles would have sounded like polished fine silver used on plastic plates.. no rawness, no edge, no character, no characters, unexciting & lifeless. The wrecking crew subbed in to play all the tracks or Rubber Soul, Sgt Peppers or the White Album would sounds like a 60's Disney Soundtrack.. or a Beach Boys album. Ridiculous!
    All of the Protools digital multitrack recording on computer today with it autotune plugins, beat correction and endless digital editing potions really originated to reproduce the production fads that David Foster & Mutt Lange were bringing to pop music. Their fad
    was dehumanizing the natural musical performe of the artist or band replacing them with
    machine like studio musicians then ultimately computers. Every pop song or hip hop or other major release song you hear today implements the production and recording style of what Foster & Mutt Lange started. To the point now where not only the group members playing is replaced by no character/perfect studio musicians.. but now even the studio musicians have been replaced by the machines inside the digital box. This is all why records sound like crap today.. plastic sounds soupy almost musak crap. Thank you David Foster, thank you Mutt Lange.

      I refer to the music put out for the last 20+ years, as a paper cake. It can be dressed up as elegant or as basic as you want, but it's still hollow on the inside. I look at music as being about feelings and emotions. The main ingredient that's been missing from music for a very long time, in my opinion, has been the emotional disconnect.

    • @fredelin2580
      @fredelin2580 7 місяців тому

      David Foster said it best the first time (which it seems you did not catch), simply stating that is is not a 'democracy'. As a producer, it CANNOT be a democracy. If you have worked yourself as a leader, you should know that very well. When decisions have to be made on the spot, sometimes crucial ones, and the clock is ticking, someone has to LEAD. One chief. But you knew that, right ?
