Double handed whammy bar technique...DO NOT TRY THIS ALONE!!!!

I have to work on my encore . It sounds like shit.

Im originally from Champaign Illinois but currently in the Nashville area, I did participate in the Kiss my Ankh tribute and I've been a fan of Vinnies since the summer of '86. Has it really been 25 years?!!

What part of Nashville? You and Wizkid should hang.

'The album kicks into high gear with the explosive Vinnie Vincent Invasion anthem "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" by Mike Weeks (guitarist on the most recent solo offering from original Invasion vocalist Robert Fleischman), alongside former Nitro bassist T.J. Racer and drummer Andre LaBelle, who himself played drums on Vinnie Vincent's fabled yet unreleased third album, "Guitars From Hell." '

Also, in the Hendersonville area, that would be cool if wizkid wanted to get together sometime.

Hey Mike-

Hew welcome to this board. Any good Flashman stories? Also, why the move to Tenn.?

Great! Another more talented guitarist that I have too kill!!!!

We'll have to start a thread on how you learnt "Boyz" for the tribute album! How many sleepless nights, broken fingers and guitar necks etc.......

@Full shred Thank you, the only real story is that hes got a great record coming out in the very near future. Unfortunately I cant be in two places at the same time or I would love to be involved. Nashville is a great music community and just makes sense for anyone to live here with great musical passion, I also have two very young daughters and felt it was a good time to make the move before they start their education.
@shramiac The thing about it was that I had been somewhat versed in his style ever since I got the instruction video in '88. That gave me an advantage as opposed to going in cold for sure, but it still took someone willing to climb the mountain. It is definately a solo with many twists and turns to say the very least.

You did very well! Congrats of the highest order!

Mike you did a great job on your version of Boyz Are Going To Rock. You sound very much like Vinnie except actually more fluid and smoother on this song!

Welcome here brother!

Hey Mike-

How did U orig hook up with Robert? With all of the geetarist's in LA BTW I enjoyed alot of Robert's last CD that U played on-esp the hard(er) stuff....

@Slayer
Thank you bro and I appreciate your positive words.

@Full shred
Im glad you liked the record I played on with Robert. As far as how I got connected with him goes... its a story that every musician in central Illinois area has probably heard 2 or 3 times through the grapevine. I'll try to condense it down if your really interested.
