Lack of promo materials generally speaks to lack of openness and confidence in one's visual presence. Probably the same reason he uses Kiss in his promo materials all the time. Doesn't feel secure about his pulling power otherwise. Which is understandable since he doesn't have anything of his own ou...

Cool. I love seeing VV-related stuff that is real.

So he was contracted to do two of his songs, didn't bother relearning them beforehand and had to drop one after a preshow runthrough made it clear he couldn't play much of anything on a good enough level. The long drive, exhaustion from the trip and him being reportedly under the weather, with his o...

They'd turn into a fusion band and tour jazz festivals sharing the stage with Frank Gambale and Allan Holdsworth.

Wether he is or isn't, It would benefit him greatly now to release new music with an added zest of coming out as trans.

He puts a lot of value on his music, it's just too valuable to him to share it with strangers, especially in the world where it can and will be pirated. So, at most, I would expect him to attempt to auction off some audio of inferior quality in his usual price range and pull the plug when there are ...

I thought those guitars were photoshopped into the pictures the first time I saw this on his page.
They look very cheap. Like they're custom ordered from China and if the specs were all twisted "in translation".
But I like the look of the original a lot.

Any additional details on how it went down? Thanks.

If he pulls it off successfully during corona - good.
If he actually (and finally) comes up with new musical product (dvd) - better.

This "80s clown"s drumming on the demos is very fitting to the material. Simple, powerful and never overpowering. Perfect. I guess he had some control over the sound of his drums while they recorded. Meanwhile Bobby Rock's drumming on VVI is drowned in reverb and although they tried, they failed to ...

A bit pointless now, but Metaluna is a cool name for a label.

Oh, correction - I'm really fond of the Skull album on which he drums. All Systems Go also had it's moments with him.

He's excellent. Love listening to him drumming on his own. Not in a band context though, a lot of times it's just "dum-dum dah, dum-dum dah".

I think once in a blue moon he gets some $$$ for his troubles, otherwise baby oh why?

I wouldn't know. But I imagine it won't matter to someone who would buy this. I'm not one of those with that kind of play money.

And while you wait be sure to buy the new VV bundle of merch for $9,500 available on his website.

Supposedly 6 people paid, but supposedly there were more actually present. And the Gibson people...there's a Gibson factory in Nashville. I mean it's not out of the realm of possiblility that somebody who works there simply likes VV's music. It just so happens that it's the only Gibson US facility t...

Right about the time he couldn't afford it. Pay him handsomely, he'll fly.

It's inspiring that's for sure.

Well that's what he gets for not being professional. IMO you're right on everything you said so far. The thing is, Vinnie's surrounded by people who make an effort to get close to him, call them ass kissers or whatever, but they wanna get close to him unlike most fans, who keep their distance. He's...

Well it kind of is. Since it was a private party and nothing from this is going to be released, enquiring minds better carry on as if nothing happened at all.

I'm really glad for everybody who went. It took a long time, maybe too long, but Vinnie finally did an event the way he wanted and it appears to have been a success.

I'll be so damn happy for everybody when this or pretty much any VV thing happens.

Ace won't be on the Kruise (ship). It's a separate event like the one VV did recently.

Video - great. No video, but the event happens - great.

Thank you!

While Guitarmageddon is an impressive bootleg, I think he at least chose the best songs to upgrade for the EP, maybe except Get the Led Out (it's just ok). The moods of bootleg song Euphoria and EP song Euphoria are really different, EP is more sinister. I like them both. But my favourite track off ...

He could riff on the entire Metaltech video that way and I think it'd still be funny by the end. This guy StSanders brings joy to people with his videos.

Vinnie should make it happen regardless of how many people attend. It's not like he's got something better to do. It will be good for him in any case imaginable.

Mike get a VVI tribute band together and rock out these songs, at least someone should.

If he's scared of doing proper club shows for fans with a backing band, I hope he's successful in getting his $300-500 from those who can afford it and delivering the goods to these people. BUT I just think doing cheaper club gigs with a simple set is WAY more realistic to deliver and get payed. A s...

We should grow up and put our money in our mouth.

Vinnie was the driving force, they just played what he told them obviously. I would be surprised if that wasn't the case, because they basically broke up their somewhat established band to become his backing band. I think Warrior drumming is excellent, simple and powerful, and aids the song, lets it...
