- When Vinnie was playing with Sting I sat down with him to discuss the timing on his song, "I'm Tweeked / Attack of the 20lb Pizza".
Can someone close that door behind Vinnie? Thank you!!
illusione ritmica ( permutazione)
Great interview. I always thought that it was obvious that the beat displacement was just that and meant to be funny (which I think it is), but then I'm a guitarist so I'm just enjoying listening not thinking about breaking it down into the minutia in order to play it.
dear God please don't tell me one of the greatest drummers ever lives in a trailer park
y4ruhate? I think it’s a backstage!
No worries. He does not. Vinnie does just fine.
Yea, it was backstage before a Sting show.
LOL, he lives in a trailer park and busks on the streets of LA using plastic buckets
WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER IF HE DID LIVE IN A MOBILE HOME ❓❓❓😡..DUMB ASS ❗❗❗
THATS ALL U GOT OUT OF THIS 😡
Nice to hear Vinnie talking about that track !
Vinnie...the man!
Vinnie discussed this years ago when this CD was released, and he mentions it above- it's a gag that's meant to sound like a vinyl record skipping.
It was all a a BIG GAG in 4/4
Signed: Vinnie “the extraterrestrial” Colaiuta
And there U have it , it’s all in 4/4
Vinnie did Meshuggah before they were cool
Wow!
Now that’s cool!!
Great track. John's Blues off same album definitely worth a listen
Getting inside his thinking process is pretty cool.
This man just played us all for fools.
ps any takers on my analysis. Where is the thread at guys
Why is the music not considered, instead of just the drums?
I heard the track and thought it was a great displacement technique. The bass does not shift, nor the rest of the band. It’s a cohesive art, and trying to explain each part unto itself defeats the musical group experience...
Listen to the bass player...if he’s in four, the drums are just messing with the time...at least in my mind...yes?
That is hilarious 😂!
seria increible que esta entrevista este subtitulada al español
Da Best!!
To be a sobering truth here! Yes, coliauta may well have stumbled across his idea as a "gag" concept of sorts at first but!!! For him to answer questions about his displacement is for him to ignore the context in which his listeners came to hear and enjoy this "gag" born concept! Take as evidence to support my claim of a far more serious musicality behind the beat for both us listeners and the player coliauta,which oddly he never addresses in any interviews about this piece, my next sentence! Who here when listening for the first time and then even after to this piece "20lb pizza" laughed and heard a gag of any sort!? Noone I imagine. Listen to the track. It's a serious composition. And furthermore a seriously fun yet ominous track. The tone overall is dark and even spooky chord wise and tonal wise. The beat displacements happen later in the track as an obscurity and tension maker rather than a clear and obvious gag on groove interpretation. The final composition is a very fine musical piece that is highly respectable. The players clearly respecting their tracking of parts in the studio takes and live performances. Did coliauta once laugh or giggle in his videos of his live performances of this track! Why does he fob off earnest enquiry about his drum part as a gag gone viral rather than respect all of our actual interest in how his part came to be within the composition we all came to admire!? Yes he displaced but so did Zappa, Zappa though made us laugh. Coliauta here made us appreciate that music in four can sound odd time while sounding as awesome as before any displacement. In the end coliauta repeats a set displacement figure. Not by habit but choice. He could have explained how he settled on his final configuration but instead obscures any chance of greater learning by his peers as if to hide his secrets. The groove can be grouped as 9/8,13/8,11/8,9/8,2/4,15/8. I know that he dislikes reducing his groove down to mere maths as it ignores the musicality of his part but he could address that head on if he wanted to but instead described his part and then ultimately the whole tune as a gag. Watch him and his band laugh when playing this track live! They don't
Sir, I WROTE the piece. So, you could argue it all you want. But I (as in “me”) wrote it with conceptual specificity. When I say it’s a gag, it’s a gag. I’m not short changing anyone. Nor am I dismissing that it CAN be subdivided mathematically into other chunks. I’m saying that those chunks are part of a larger phrase in 4/4. That’s it. And because each subdivision creates a new ‘illusory downbeat’, it almost forces the mind to want to create a new time signature. Kabeesh? So there you have it, straight from the horses mouth. Hope that clears things up. Have a good day!
@@breakfastwithvinnie7228 kabeesh, I understand you. You've settled it and thanks for your response!
@@brianmcguire5175 and also, thank you for recognizing that, although the initial conception was from a gag, it’s no joke. I respect your appreciation of it as a composition and you said it very well. Thank you!
Thank you kind sir. Big fan of your drumming and your podcast. You set me straight, I had misrepresented your explanation(I confused gag for joke
) and you were right to have set me straight.Further, I am glad for the exchange from a hero of mine. Made my day receiving both of your responses believe you me!
