Too easy & says a lot about what kind of guy Bob is !
Seen a drum clinic with him in Detroit in 88 ..Bobby was awesome . No Rockstar BS
Bobby Rock is a killer drummer, a great human being and a wonderful friend of mine!
Still have all his vhs videos and I remember going to a drum clinic he was doing in Michigan back in the early 90s A Stellar drummer and yes just a Awesome inspiration
I've known him since I was in 9th grade. Very cool,very wise, very good human. 😎👍
This brother works out HARD!! He doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs!! Check out Bobby Rock's amazing 4-way independence Samba groove from his first instructional video, MetalMorphosis!! He's playing some INSANE syncopation on a MASSIVE double-bass Sonor kit with timbales & cowbells !! His double bass power triplets, quadruplets and sextuplets are incredible. Zen and the Art of Drumming is beautiful too.
@@sarojaband4664 if you go to the credits my name is one of the first ones that pops up under special thanks!
Bobby is a very, very nice person. Genuinely kind. That goes a long way with a fan. He truly appreciates his fame, and the people who think he's one of the best fucking drummers in music.
My buddy plays with Bobby now, Pat Kennison( Lita Ford), and he has nothin but great things to say about this guys playing and as a person

Badass drummer super intellectual individual and awesome interview!
The best?V.V.I!!!
Bobby rock is a real man and the real shit
I love hearing the stories of the OG road dogs. Must have been a great time to be s performing musician. Before '84, when they changed the drinking age back to 18, you could actually make a living playing in an unknown band. By the time my era rolled around people were playing gigs for free.
In New York they changed the drinking age from 18 to 21 and it killed the club scene 100%. there were a good number of bands making a living with no record deal back then because you could play a different club every night and get paid. Bands like Twister Sister and Zebra got major label deals out of this scene but many didn't.
It lasted for a bit longer in the midwest... I was a gigging musician at the tail end of this era... The quality of the singers within this end era were stellar... They had to sing as good as Sebastian Bach on the records... but also do it for 4 hours 5 days a week... It was unreal looking back... Fun to think back on it...
@@TheDmonet I remember Zebra. Great band, great singer. My father-in-law played in Salty Dog in the late 70's/early 80's and made a living doing it. This was a Jersey Shore cover band mind you, yet the times were so good for bands that they actually had roadies, a sound guy, and a light guy. He said he would just show up to the show, sit at his kit & play. No load in, no load out. Just play, then party, and also get paid to do it. This was during a time that most places didn't have house PA's or lighting, so having a crew was a necessity. The really popular bands often got 100% of the door and therefore could afford to pay a crew. My day in the sun was quite a different experience, that's for sure.
Shit, now I wanna hear Bobby detail the whole rest of his career. Next tape!

Read his book if you want the full story. It's called The Boy Is Gonna Rock.
Don't know if there is published in Italy.
@@michelelaraia7358 order it online
@@billjonesthebarber yeah,why not?
Awesome. I've known him for nearly 40 years and he is an awesome person and a killer drummer.
I've known him for 42 years
Lol my dad told me a story about when him and my mom went to a kiss concert back in the day n they were trying really hard to get backstage..Vinnie seen my mom and pointed at her to come back n when my dad tried to follow they stopped him haha…and no my mom did not stay lol..she ended up leaving..but still kinda cool
Such a cool story!!!
That was a motivating interview!
Yet another gem interview! Very clear transmission as well! 🙌
The best interviews here man!
What's funny is seeing pre-KISS Vinnie Vincent playing on Dan Hartman's DISCO album, INSTANT REPLAY, with GE Smith.
Vinnie has had quite the extensive career - although he does have a bad reputation for some shady behavior.
Love, these phucken interviews..
Great interview, Good stuff..
These interviews are priceless
I've never really cared for Vinnie Vincent, but it was an interesting video to see where these guys came from.
It's funny that I know the guy who did get the gig for Jim Dandy. Garrett Bearden passed away back in 2018. He was a great drummer! I jammed with him several times. I've met James Mangrum as well since I've grown up in the area.
BLA is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Jim is the greatest!
Vincent Invasion were a great band. Too bad there is only 2 albums.
Bobby rules!!!

My drummer buddy had one of his instructional videos, back in the day, and I can tell you- this dude could PLAY. Like incredibly.

@@sarojaband4664 I'm aware of the 4 way independence, my friend. Simply incredible.
I mixed him with Eric Carr first when I "met" VVI and heard him play. They had so similar style af.
I saw this guy with Lita Ford a couple years ago. Fantastic drummer.
I saw Slaughter on tour with KISS and Winger in 1990. I was hanging back stage with Gene Simmons’ bass tech and wandered into Mark Slaughter’s dressing room having mistaken it for catering when I said food through a partially open door. Awkward reception, for sure. But as an avid KISS fan, I always knew that whatever Vinnie Vincent got his mitts in, the other party would be sorry. He was like turning Wayne & Garth loose on stage… Or Malmsteen’s mini-me with an axe to grind (yeah pun. I like ‘em. So?) almost like watching two bands at the same time. Vinnie was so into what he was doing that he didn’t bother to acknowledge there were other musicians on the stage.
I got to see a clinic in Seattle with Steve Smith, Adam Nussbaum and Bobby. Great clinic.

Vinnie ! Write a book !
It’s been in the works over 4 years now
Smart dude
Bobby wouldve made a great drummer for KISS after Eric Carr. RIP
YES!
Absolutely
See kids, exhibit A of why not going too far into the lifestyle,staying grounded and healthy will help you in the future. Especially when you have to REMEMBER shit.lol
👊
The metal years where great the more you looked like a chick the more chicks you would get. Metal rules. Vicky Vincent
Vicky Vincent..hahaha
So true my boyfriends were beautiful.
NITRO!
he played in Nelson too
Still a monster player
I was never a VVI fan nor was i VV fan
But the guy was a damn good writer and he was in kiss. Being a young hungry musician. Having the opportunity to rub elbows with a guy who played with kiss and dan hartman wouldve been and couldve been a real career opportunity. Bobby is a phenomenal drummer. His book was good too
I'm not positive what year that Honda with the STLROKN is but my first car was a 1979 HONDA Civic that looks alot like that when I had dreams of playing guitar in an accomplished band.But obviously I didn't make it.Hahaha
I remember those little cars being everywhere when I was a kid in the mid 80’s. I’m surprised there aren’t more of them still around given how reliable Hondas are.
Bro that era Civics were virtually indestructible little tanks. I drive a 2005 now. Not quite as tanky but still good
@@careful__Icarus I’ve got a 1991 CRX with 285k miles on it that still runs like a sewing machine and averages 45mpg. For reliability you can’t beat a Civic or Accord. Toyota gets my money in the truck category, but the only cars I buy are Honda
well spoken and interesting guy. sounds like he would have been fine without the "arena rock", altho it was what was happening at the time, don't remember sweet savage, i was in a garage band, doing some gigs, and a couple guys were huge vinnie vincent fans. and nitro, lol, i'm surprised bobby can still hear, but i guess he never toured with them, saw nitro in a night club (1st record) and they were loud enough for an arena, i remember looking at the guy with me and his shirt was literally vibrating from the bass speaker percussion, i went to the bathroom and put balled up toilet paper in my ears.
I'd be worried about Vinnie Vincent having my fate in his hands. I'd be worried about what he wanted from me...lol
This dude may have been King of the big hair movement he should have been in nitro.
He played with Alice Cooper too right ?
The 80’s glam metal era in retrospect had a lot of really talented guitarists & drummers, yet because of the “visual” aspect of those bands, the genre has become a running joke of style over substance, which is unfortunate, because EVERY band that seems to be the MOST DISRESPECTED (Winger for example) had top notch players. My niece and her friends went thru my cd collection and watching UA-cam videos of bands & couldn’t stop laughing at the presentation. Dressing like drag queens really didn’t do any favors for Cinderella, Poison, Ratt, and the others.
Cinderella and RATT, both ridiculously talented bands, absolutely. Poison? Nah. They took Glam to a whole other level and appealed a lot to chicks (?) but musically? Not so much. There were two things that contributed to the downfall of 80s metal: record companies were shelling out more and more money to grab the Next Big Thing, and in the process a lot of bands got signed that probably shouldn’t have. And, the whole shtick was getting old. I was 18 in ‘83 and lived my young adulthood right through it. Grunge was not something I got into much. I find it ironic now that there are still some 80s bands still touring successfully while most of the grunge bands self-destructed. And I think it boils down to the music: nobody wants to go watch a funeral dirge in concert, but everybody likes a party.
Motley Crue a year earlier then Poison were ahead of the curve on glam.
I like Slaughter, but I feel the chemistry for VV Invasion should have stayed with the original line up. I think Vinnie and Mark just didn't mold well together.
VV did not mold well together with anyone her met his whole life...
I am Vinnie and this is great interview. We had a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish I could go back.
if u're real vinnie i'm pope's mother
@@raveniaelhoran2647 well it's fantastic to meet you hon! You must be so proud of your son.
STLROKN looks like arm's of arnold schwarzenegger.
How is it these older guys from Texas don't even have the slightest Texas accent?
A lot of folks from the big cities in Texas don’t have an accent.
@@bucknasty69 I said older people. 50 plus. I know the young ones from cities or certain parts of the country don't have a accent like their parents or grandparents.
Born and raised in Houston. Been there for 51 years. No accent.
Can someone down here tell me if it's TRUE that VV has become a transgender ????
VVI was fucking LAME...They're where they are today for a good reason
