I think Vinnie would have fit right as a composer during the 16th century; just as misunderstood and ridiculed but with the "luxury" of modern, digital exposure

fullshredd

Just think where we were 20 years ago. VV was an enigma. At least now he's with us. While he couldn't be described as the pyro messiah anymore, things could be much worse. We're 50% there imho

fullshredd

I wish Vinnie wouldn't do these kind of things and really concentrate on things that matter for his comeback, to get it on track.

Seems he tried that "route". These low-hanging fruit "events" are easier on the fingers as it were, especially since they can't shred the frets.

Drama 24/7 is lame

Drew... the Benjamin Button of the VVFF! :D Dang!

A great story and great pictures, Drew. So nice when meeting heroes, they turn out to be good guys.

Hope the gig rocked.... as if it didn't! :P I hope you didn't have to "Stand in Line" too long! :roll: :twisted:

They're all super nice guys ...

If I am recalling correctly, I believe he was wearing a VVI t-shirt one of the times I saw him perform.

That's exactly how we started talking - after I saw his KISS tat on his right arm. We talked about VV even going back 15 years

fullshredd

I've known Chris for many years through phone and email, but we never met. I was the genesis behind the Dean Shred Spider Impellitteri model that went into a very limited run because Chris never approved the final version (neck radius issues). Then he started working with Grover, Shannon, Charvel ...

Yes, after close to 20 years later.... the "impossible" happened (he signed the case too)

So now all past VVI members are present and accounted for.

I GUARANTEE ONE-OF-A-KIND!

Ohh you met vv in Atlanta?

I just saw the footage online from Atlanta only. Ran into him in NJ at one of the Expos. Sorry if that wasn't clear :)

"Was" VV talented? Goes without saying. And pointing to the obvious for many - we held our breath. It didn't have to be this way. It's really ...

omg that's funny

I stated months and months ago that VV was pulling the wool over everyone's eyes when it came his inability to play. He would have recorded his practice sessions and aired them to prove the naysayers and pundits. But he waits until he books a venue, hires top guns, takes money ...

""Something happened between Vinnie and the promoter," he said. "I know there was something going on. I talked to Vinnie a few times, and him and the promoter were not seeing eye to eye on a lot of stuff."

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

Any forum Vinnie doesn't have full control of Is a Vinnie bashing forum to him.

I wish it were not true . I wish he could just play the fucking guitar and not spend his days reading forums.

The answer to his problems is to put out a new record, or even a home made video and put on a show. All ...

This, from a practicing attorney:

"Vinnie will fight to preserve his standing with his loyal fans around the world."

Seems peculiar and unprofessional

Just sayin'

fullshredd

nfn but VV took the recent opportunities, no one forced his hand - no one coerced him (from what we know) to create a "comeback" (in limited form). It was better than nothing and it was great to see him. But, why is it that everything the man touches simply and unequivocally ultimately implodes ...

If Vinnie really wanted to make an impact, he'd have released music instead of making comic/horror convention appearances. This was a pure money drive - not for fans, not for notariety. The question is, does he have the money to make the music (is he even relevant anymore to warrant it?) The answer ...

Jim Dunlop picks with the proper graphics.

They may look correct as they're very easy for a printer to reproduce (both offset variants in purple and white). Let's see how many come off the assembly line

fullshredd

This should come as no surprise. Though not actually "provable" these VV picks from 1986 look HIGHLY suspicious. And, considering the prices they've been fetching, it's relatively easy to knock this off for a few pennies each...

How do you get these things?

Good question Vic! I was the catalyst behind Chris coming in as a Dean endorser. Chris and I had been talking by phone one night and he told me he wanted a signature model. The last time he tried with Fender in the late nineties ended up as a Japan-only release and ...

It was a work in-progress regarding the neck. I know it was still a point of contention with Chris last they left it. I'm sure Chris was sanding it too

NC- reachable by car. And obviously Nashville will be as well. My hope is he'll get an "Invasion" bus on the road for the longer stints to NY and CA.
A pink one.... travelling the countryside; a pink VVV painted on like the Gibson Bus! You heard it here first~

I am not sure 2. My understanding is only one went to silver/purple and the student neck one went to gaffer tape finish.

Yes, I believe 2 were repainted form original pink? I'd like to ask him why he drifted away from that scheme. Was it to be less glam? Does he regret painting them?

I have a Peavey 50/50 poweramp and Digitech 2120 in an enclosure that I used to put on top of a cabinet if I was using it.

The Vai and Satch effects are cool in the 2120. The Metal options are tasty too!

I don't understand why Derek would be acting this way. From my understanding he has put on KISS Expos before, and he could and should do it again.

The only difference is he won't have VV as a guest, so that means it's business as usual as far as future Expos.

I was hoping that Atlanta would be ...

Yeah that cover photo he put was pretty unnecessary.

I always find this sort of irrational behavior intriguing. He's doing nothing other than drawing attention to the fact that his endeavor turned out less than he expected. In other words, "I'm pointing my finger at myself to both imply and ...

I had no idea about GT. Really sad. It would be a good time for Kevin (KK) to come back and help Rob do this tour, especially since Dave Holland passed not too long ago. My guess is that Rob will retire the Priest after this and go back to "Halford". Man this blows. Getting old sucks
