Ode to the Ankh Warrior

Post by youngnwasted »

Does anyone remember that song? It was on youtube for a while. The guy has it set to private now. I was wondering if he was on here. I'd like to see if he would like to contribute that to the fanz r gonna rock online tribute disc. If so, fanzrgonnarock@gmail.com :D

Good luck with project. Rick is a great singer. He can do a Richie Scarlet like version of back on the streets but much better. Rick is actually Richie scarlet. I so would buy rick singing bots.

James are you the guy that loaned vv the carvin that is in your avatar?

Yes, it is quite too bad. I could see him not wanting to go overseas but to at least do a mini-tour of the states. Hit up some places closer to home for him.

When he didn't show up in new jersey he had a car service from nashville to just outside of new york city requested.
I believe all kiss expo promoters I spoke to won't touch him.

I had offered him 2 shows....one in Bridgeport Connecticut and the other in Nashville or even closer to his town of Smyrna !!! Heard a little back in regards to Bridgeport but never heard back from him in regards to Nashville....




In response to your inquiries,
1. You have Vinnie's permission to mention him by name.
2. Cost:  If someone is putting money up for the show, they pay all expenses, including but nto limtied to rental of the venue for the evening, appropriate security, all advertising, and anything else connected with the concert (i.e. travel, 1st class food/lodging for VV and his musicians, costs associated with proper sound system, etcl.)  Whether these costs would be recouped against 100% of the gross would have to be negotiated, however, Vinnie's non-refundable non-recoupable advance would have to be an advance up front as a guaranty of 50% of the gross of 1,400 seats, ticketed at $100 per seat, which would equate to $70K for the one performance.
3. This would be estimated to take place within 8 months because offers are coming in for special event performances from across the world.
4. You are to define yourself as a a business acquaintence.

Any other questions?  Spyder

Spyder...I know you gave me a little information yesterday in regards to the cost of Vinnie playing in Bridgeport and I'm working on that as we speak. There may be a few people I may need to talk to but I don't really want to mention Vinnie's name unless I have is OK. These people are going to ask who the artist is and there costs/requests...they are also going to ask how soon this will take place and how (I'm) involved with this??? There going to ask...are You his friend, manager, business associate, tour manager etc ??? I don't want to act like I'm representing Vinnie (BECAUSE I'M NOT) I'm just trying to get this ball rolling !!!  Any advise would be helpful...Ed

Look at all the problems with Vinnie's reply. The lies continue as well. Other offers? Ridiculous, Vinnie is doing nothing and is available tonight.

70k advance. I suppose it's a starting place but i doubt kiss could even get a 70k non negotiable advance.
That said it could be a starting place.
If I was booking vv and he had a proven track record i still wwould find a 5000 deposit very risky.

One other offer is not keeping his diary full. He could do something tonight, or any night, if he was able to leave the house.
