The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Nice guys....good work Wolfgang....

My neice and nephew in-law do work in the Solomon Islands. She's a speech therapist and he's an ear,nose & throat surgeon. They say at the hospital there are people sitting on the cement floor hooked up to IVs! You'll go back the next day and they'll still be sitting there. You're a true gentleman Wolfgang and deserve all that you've worked for.

Yes, someone else we all know could certainly learn a thing or two about being a human being from yourself Wolfgang.

There's a lot of bad stuff in the world, I know I've certainly got a lot to be thankful for, I'm a lucky person, and I never even got to join KISS!!!!!

Imagine how cool that would have been. Not many people can say they were in Kiss

It is rare to see people who care eniugh about others to help them in times of need.last year when I was laid off and could not find a job I had to sell all my jacksons that took me years to aquire to support my family and never regreted it once to keep us alive.Of all the friends I have none ever said to me "hey man wanna borrow one of my guitars untill you get back on your feet"even though I have lent them axes in the past when they needed it.even gave a buddy an ibanez prestige one time because someone stole his gear.I will still help them out whenever they need it

Look after yourself SS. The world is a nasty little place. So many greedy fuckers running around & all the sheepeople worship them & emulate their behaviour. In saying that there are still good people out... I know the glass is half empty, but I want to believe the glass is half full.

I stated this when this forum started :

Fuck me once-Shame on YOU

Twice-Shame on YOU

100 TIMES-Shame on YOU

ETC...

I will never let someone's actions affect the way I treat other people. I will continue to be kind and generous to a fault. My blessings far outweigh the people that have screwed me over because of this attitude.

Don't forget the two guy's in KEEL baby......Marc Ferrari 4 prez!!

maybe this RR V is rosewood? looks lighter than ebony.. Freddy are you still around?

I've got a Guitar World with this pic Dino so I'll have a look when I go home for lunch to see if the board is indeed rosewood!!

Looked at the Guitar World and I can't tell if it's rose or ebony. Looks a lot darker than in the above pic! Same pickup config as the Cardiff guitar though! EMG & a zebra PAF!

Standing next to Steve Vai who looks like he is recoiling from him

looks like someone has rosewood at the back.. so i would say its ebony. i think its not the one in cardiff.

It does look like that but it's part of the pose Steve is doing for the shot.

Nah, Steve looks like that because Oz Fox's headstock is up his butt!!!

LMFAO!

i think that picture is a montage.some of the heads look way too big for the bodies. maybe some people felt they didn't look good and they took out the original head and replaced it with a new one. I think its an old form of photoshop.

Looks fine to me Dino. All the guys are there.

There are outtakes from the shoot. All of them were there. They may have switched heads and other things from picture to picture to get one KILLER shot .

the guy from stryper (i think with the yellow/black v) and the black guy at the front surely changed heads.. they seem so big compared to the bodies.

i assure you I am not on some 60s drugs here, but maybe I am imaging people with big heads!!

P.S. The guy that invented LSD, Owsley "Bear" Stanley, got killed yesterday when his car ran into a tree about 1-11/2 hours from my place!!!!

Former LSD cook and Grateful Dead soundman Owsley 'Bear' Stanley dies in Tableland car crash

THE 1960's LSD chemist and counterculture figure Owsley "Bear" Stanley has died in a car crash in Far North Queensland.

Stanley, the original Grateful Dead sound engineer, is believed to have been driving on Saturday when his car swerved off the Kennedy Highway north of Mareeba and slammed into a tree.

The 76-year-old died at the scene while his female passenger was taken to Cairns Base Hospital with minor injuries.

LSD guru Stanley turned on thousands of people in San Francisco in the 1960s and provided the substances for the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour,

Former Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead tour manager Sam Cutler, who now lives in Brisbane, released a statement on behalf of Stanley's family saying the fatal crash happened near tanley`s north Queensland home.

Queensland police say the crash is under investigation and they can`t confirm if it was the 60s icon who died.

The renegade grandson of a former governor of Kentucky, Stanley was arrested several times during the 60s for manufacturing LSD and is credited with laying the foundation for the psychedelic era.

Stanley lived a totally carnivorous, no-carbohydrate diet, and claimed to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959.


Geez! You wouldn't want to use the crapper after he'd been in there!!!!!

OK so who's the guy between(above) Vinnie & Jake and who is that to the left of Jake?

the guy in stryper is Michael Sweet. I dunno it's possible the angle or whatever of the shot make's em look weird. Like Shecky said most likely there was some photo-shop to get it right. Regardless, it's a funny pic of "stryper-dude" ...they we're a heck of a fun band to see live back in theday.. Oz Fox had so much energy etc..

sometimes they used to take lots of shots when they did group pictures because there was always someone with there eyes closed or looking pretty odd or moving or out of focus etc and then they would find the best one of each guy and re mount it on to the group shot.

I am not sure how many pictures they took but I am sure thats what happened.

Mark St John said that on the Anamilize photo shoot Paul was cutting his arms of other shots and even hair to make sure he looked his best.
