I know you will never see this but the Lord JESUS CHRIST changed my life when I first heard you play I want you to know that. Praise GOD!!!!

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! 🙏

Leonid and Friends !!! ❤

As a professional musician and teacher/mentor myself, I talk about David Foster, his productions, his musicianship, his discipline with my students all the time! He can rest assured that his legacy is strong now and for future generations!

Thanks so much, gents. The Maurice White/EWF segment, a rich and illuminating treat.

I've seen so many of these great interviews with the best producers and the same names keep coming back, Jeff Porcaro, Paich, Lukather, Graydon....there must be a good reason. I'm so happy David reconnected with these guys.Thanks for this great moment Vinnie, David Foster is a true gem.

A simple "Thank You" Vinnie and David!...........Wonderful interview, insight and world class music!

The Tubes one was tricky, but it stills, to this day, one of my favourite Rock albums (The Completion Backward Principle). Thank you both, for sharing your experiences . In a way, you were both lucky to live that era.

Thank you Vinnie for conducting this incredibly human, "nice", heartfelt and incredibly interesting exchange with the great David Foster. You knew the deep questions to ask, and no doubt there could be many many more. So much interesting subject matter. Thank you, Sam McNally, Australia.

You want a hit, go to David. It's that simple. He's a certified hitmaker. And he is so professional that's why he gets things done efficiently. Solid, no nonsense. Unlike many of todays wannabes hahaha! I'm just so stoked because one of my favorite drummers just interviewed one of the most successful musicians the music industry is so fortunate to have. ❤

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 🎉

The Tubes.🥰 (I know they are a very, very small part of David Fosters catalog, but I loved them dearly.)🎶🖖

The two albums David produced for the Tubes are massively great, especially the last one Inside/Outside--it contains the mega-hit She’s a Beauty-Lukather on guitar!

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.

Always loved the production on Alice Cooper’s ‘From the Inside’ thanks to David Foster.

Thanks Vinnie and David for your discussion about the process in music!

I absolutely love the score to and soundtrack of The Secret of My Success. Glued that movie together and made it deeply moving.

Thank you for this great interview Vinnie. IMHO, David Foster invented a new type of producer, and I thank him for it every day.

How wonderful, two of the greatest that ever lived. Sending hugs to you guys .. md.

Holy smokes Vinnie. Both insights were fascinating. No matter how successful you both are it still boils down to the same thing: enthusiasm for the gig. You are both still like kids in a candy store! What out RickB!

So glad the KZread algorithm brought me here. Amazing musicians 🙏

This is absolute gold, Vinnie and David, thank you for doing it.

Thank you Vinnie! I love all these stories and all that is shared on these episodes! Great way to start off my day!

I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We were so proud when DF wrote the music for the 1988 winter olympics. Great job Vinnie. Thanks for all of the music.

THE FOZ. I was one of the members of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour, Foz and John Parr wrote the hit theme song for the tour. "St Elmos Fire"

What a great interview! Thank you. 💜

You rock Vinnie ! Thank you for doing this. What a great conversation.

I second David's assessment of Vinnie as THE drummer :)

It's going to be fun to watch your channel grow. Great interview. Thanks Vinnie. 😊

Genius producer and session player a legend.

Two legends. Great interview!

Great interview between two consummate musicians!

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. Saludos desde Buenos Aires

So many takaways, but here's three: 1.) Even the best have insecurities. 2.) It's about having great Songs. 3.) It's about marketing. Thank you so much for this, Vinnie! - Andrew Colyer, New York

Fantastic interview! Two of my favorite musicians together in the same place, wonderful! I just hit the subscribe button.

Great Vinnie, thanks for doing this❤

Fantastic interview Vinnie.. Absolutely love Mr Fosters body of work and the people he's inspired!!

Vinny, it’s true…. You inspire me, absolutely the best drummer!

This is just the beginning of many interviews to follow!👍🏼

Thanks for this. You pick interesting folks and you ask insightful questions. Much respect.

Great interview Vinnie!

im so going to enjoy this . THANKS!!!!

Yesssss!!!!!

LOVE this!!!

Brilliant interview, at times you were interviewing each other, totally inspiring hearing from two of my favourite musicians on the planet, to hear Vinnie and David speak with such humility considering the levels they’ve achieved in their careers! Wow, amazing, subscribed immediately.

Well done interview!!! I learned so much and this was so entertaining

Wonderful conversation !

Fantastic !

Loving this !

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.

Love that you're doing these!! "How do you explain drums (music) to a non drumming (musical) person?" A question you asked Bruce Becker. I'd love to hear different guests answers to this question... Thanks Vinnie! I'm always inspired to play after these podcasts! Cheers

FANTASTIC INTERVIEW!! But I gotta say this: the Jaye P. Morgan album is probably one of my favorites albums that David produced. Wall to wall, that one is a classic.

Legends chatting ... love ya Vinnie! Hope you're well.

Great interview Vinnie! Looking forward to more…you need to do one with our dear friend Jerry Leoni..would love to hear you two talking about your start in the BAHS band with Sam Bill and your years as drummers

Epic discussion. Thank you so much Vinnie, as a legend yourself. Love that DF name checked all the Toto boys during the session. I would love to see Luke Paich and DF and yourself have a chat. You guys owned the scene and defined the sound that permeates through many of our lives from that time. And Lee Sklar. And of course Hungate!

I was So inspired by the Foster soumd and style of his writing and productions. And his piano harmony/parts. You can hear it a bit on Studio D’Lux, plus Champlin is on some of them too. Nice interview. I became aware of Vinny from Gino s Nightwalker album, so great

Vinnie, I’m new to your channel and just subscribed. Thank you for this treat! I’m a fan of both you and Mr. Foster. This was an amazing interaction! Great stories from two fantastic creators!

Vinnie love this thanks Doctor

So is that why Jeff's high rack tom is distorted on Jaye P Morgon's "Here Is Where your Love Belongs" - Jeff just walked out after a perfect take!

The J.P. Morgan album is one of my favs of all time, jeff nuff said.

Killer convo

getting old Mr Foster, pls take care of yourself, you are a legend!!!!!

This was great! Another great interview I think would be with Hiromi. You might need an interpreter though. I'd love to hear from her about all the hard work and how she developed her craft to such a high degree... She is really a treasure! And you, it seems to me, would be a good match to play with her some day... If you haven't already 🙂

Jaye P. Morgan """"on Candor Records from 76 is a great and wonderful sounding record, the first pressing sells for an average of over $200..not without reason..next to Mr. David Foster the creme de la creme is represented..that album is really a pearl.

I wish I could see Vinnie at the Baked Potato!!

Thank you for the Tubes group albums.

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.

Yeah😎😁😁😁😁

Vinnie, you ARE the Michael Jordan of drums.

Dear mr. Foster. I'm pretty sure that around the globe you'll be mentioned top 3 record producers of all time. Don't be silly.

I found real Vinnie !

Young Foster seeking to play melodies on drums? Perhaps he needs to see some steel drum videos e.g. Andy Narell and Robbie Greenidge

a little too much monologue by Vinnie...I thought it's a David Foster interview and not the life story of Vinnie with some comments by David

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.

"Making records is a dictatorship, it's not a democracy" - well Roger Waters would probably agree with that sentiment, however I would really like to know what fellow Canadian Star-Producer and one-time Roger Waters sparing partner Bob Ezrin would say to that comment....?

@fredericlinden

Ай бұрын

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 ?

Vinnie just ask questions, dont go looong around bla bla ;) however, the interviewer is more interesting

Get Luke on.

@@JohnLnyc There’s a big difference in the fact that Luke hasn’t been apart of a “conversation” with someone he’s worked with. And Luke has more than what we’ve heard believe me.
