So, it is suddenly not that simple to post on here. Anyway, I am curious to know if the VVMMC is still happening. There is an awful lot of silence here. [/font] Why is it suddenly not simple to post? I just noticed that Santa theme was infecting the reply box, so I've removed it. Was that the probl...

So, holy crap, I am relieved this is back. I did not see any information anywhere about what had happened here. In case you're wondering, a variety of messages appeared over the days this was down. This was from day 2, I believe.

This place is a nightmare. Really. I came to this forum when it seemed there might be some life in the VV world. I visit this forum regularly, looking for something positive but realistic. But "realism" appears to be long-dead here. Fans have every reason to be angry. I can think of no hard-core com...

OK. I was bummed (though not surprised) about the recent cancellation. I have to say, however, this is pretty funny!

Holy crap! I thought this was all resolved. Three days of no activity here, and what does come up if the stench of lingering bad news. Tie this up already, people! Give people their money back. This is disgraceful.

Lazy and sloppy though he can be, Ace is the only one with new material and actually doing anything. He is putting himself out there. Paul and Gene have disgraced themselves and Vinnie - to our great disappointment - will apparently do little more than enjoy what there is of his legacy /support, tho...

I once had a poor backstage experience with Ace. In the 80s and 90s, you really did not know what you were getting with him. However, he has had great breakaway characters. Todd Howarth alone is worth what he asks for and he has a great library of material. Anyway, Ace is out there and doing it cons...

The only Full Shredd seems to be of hopes and contracts. I think VV is content to sit back and follow analytics, measure his impact and lie low. Maybe it is for the best, too, as his reputation has taken several damaging hits of late. At least attention has been diverted by KISS urinating all over t...

I think maybe they booted everyone to shut it down. I was booted yesterday myself. They had put the group into archive mode on Friday with seemingly no warning. I never understood that group. Full of nutty people, yes, but TWO of the admins were people with fake profile pics or empty profiles (incl...

I wonder if they really mean, " will be automatically refunded."

I am wondering where that information comes from. Is there a press release? Is it posted in some official form somewhere?

What a mess! Kiss have done virtually nothing of merit for the last 20 years and now are trying to collect some final millions while dodging the media and ignoring the fans. As for Ace, while I find him entertaining, he doesn't come out of this looking good at all either. They should all just hang i...

Well the statement and its sequels have done nothing. We've seen more from lawyers than I have from VV. I came to this forum two months ago looking to share in a celebratory build-up. Instead, it has been us waiting outside of a cafe that is said to have the best coffee, but is never open for busine...

Is that an official outlet for VV? Not his website? Not this forum? I didn't know that.

I am going to consider Vinnie Vincent's contribution to music finished. His 70s material, major KISS contributions (to the point that the band was resurrected on his talent), the excellent VVI debut album and - in my opinion - superlative ASG album, in addition to various other things he has done ar...

Thanks for the post.
I'm guessing no one here is surprised.

If the talent (i.e., performer) is not totally committed there is little a promoter can do. Vinnie would have gotten promotional help with a call to Eddie Trunk (for example), who would have cheered and supported him. When you have a movie, album or concert coming up, you (the talent) are out there ...

I have seen that as well. Either the Internet is slow to catch up, or maybe we have it wrong here? I'm sure it is probably the former. Perhaps Jim is too stunned to announce it, especially considering how much positive feedback he got from the announcement that he was performing. Does Derek have an ...

Yes, but it has been stated here that Vinnie has stated the show is unlikely to happen. It is no longer a question of rehearsals but of official acknowledgement. If he has said or publicly speculated that the show will not happen, it is not an issue of rehearsals. I imagine I speak for most when I a...

This is a burning question for me. Is there a press release? Is it somewhere online officially? The names I often conduct searches with: Crean, Franklin, Appice, Trunk, et al do not yield anything indicating VV has stated the event was unlikely to happen. All I see is that the link to purchasing tic...

Where is VV's announcement about the show being unlikely to happen?

The acoustic really brings out the beauty of the chords in the song, too. So many things can get lost on an overdriven guitar. This is an excellent rendition of one of Vinnie's top songs. Bravo!

On Carmine Appice's website, the venue for the February shows is listed at "TBA". Here is the link: http://www.carmineappice.net/dates.php

I shouldn't call RF a "big name," but relatively-speaking, it holds because a complete no-name (but capable) vocalist would do the trick. I would hate for the event to run into contractual and money problems. I'll take and relish the vanilla (or, perhaps, Vinnie-la O_o) in its purest form. We have s...

And get an Edge wang back on that 550...STAT!

Wow! You recognize that (RG) 550?! I'm impressed!

Years ago, perhaps in 2001, I wound up with tickets to see the Bangles and an annoying girl-group called Dream. My girlfriend at the time had won the tickets, but I had gotten another set for free with backstage passes from a friend, whose father was the keyboard player for the Bangles (Hilfman). Af...

I would be thrilled if Vinnie did an acoustic set only. He does not need a big-name vocalist. A good way to re-enter the stream would be with a simple set up. He doesn't need to come back totally electric and shredding (though I would love to see it). "No cowboys hats...just music," as Buddy Rich on...

Hello, Everyone, I am writing to you from the Jersey Shore on a not-so-cold night. I have lived in Japan and Greece, but returned to New Jersey, where I am originally from. Taking advantage of some free time (with my family sound asleep) to finally join the VVFF, I finally found the time to take a l...
