I suppose I can put this here, and I know what you're thinking, what the hell is he doing buing another guitar.

This was actually a surprise buy that I am holding onto for another two years, for my son, who has been jamming and learning on some cheap Jacksons I bought and set up for him, to get him ...

The trouble is Vinnie and people who are straight up (most) do not mix!!

He wants to fake everything, pretend stuff is happening, they actually want to do something.

Sad.....

I'm thinking, Shrammy, that it probably depends on whose ass Joy Division were sucking.

If it was yours, you probably liked them a lot!!

At least at the time!!! LoL.....

Iron Maiden actually did good, showing other bands (KISS *cough, cough*) a lesson in how to be gracious to past band members.

Good on them!

How was 1996 30 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I remember Promised Land coming out. So long ago.

Wow, I didn't know about this issue with those songs being performed live. I just saw the band spit and go it's separate ways. I've never seen them without Geoff but I have seen Geoff solo.

Vinnie and Mark (and friends) circa 1987 at the RIP Party at the Cathouse Hollywood.

Also in the photo John Bush, Marc Ferrari, Billy Sheehan, kelly nickels, Stephen Pearcy.

Wow, working for free for Vinnie, getting cancelled left, right and center. Even trying to cancel a show he wasn't advertised to be on, but it seems Vinnie doesn't want anyone around him to do anything and succeed.

Vinnie is the King of Cancellations, it's so sad, but now normal.

Funny about the ...

Some good points there. The other titles I'm not so sure about though.

Before the show? Oh yeah, he was hyping it up with Vinnie.

Both lying through their asses. (Possibly an Australian saying)

Vinnie and his band rehearsing, utter lies......

It certainly seems that way. I'd like to see him get asked some pertinent questions about Vinnie and Creaturesfest.

He certainly helped stage the scene for a legitimate performance from Vinnie, giving everyone who bought a ticket that it was gonna be kick ass and then when the shit show most of us ...

It's very sad indeed. He was doing that on the DoubleV forum, it's like he can't stop himself.

The reason I started this thread is just super sad. Posting an old picture and saying it's a photo from Ride The Serpent, that is friggin' super sad.

Of course, Ride the Serpent has been forgotten by the ...

He's looking for a sucker for sure. Probably even more than one. That's the dream.

He says it's finished, but is it? Wasn't it finished years ago? Should he do some more to it? Muck around with it a bit more? More remixing?

More, more, more, more, more!!!!!!!

Looking into this it seems the original post on the FAQ has gone?

This is what I'm pretty sure it says:

Thought I'd share a story about a unique Ibanez....

Being based in L.A., I have the good fortune of taking my guitars to John Carruthers.

John is quite a prestigious luthier in the industry ...

You never know, that would be the dream, otherwise this is never going to happen. And Vinnie can go back to remixing and stuffing around with the songs.

Once nobody buys and this has blown over, what will he do next? I really do wonder.

There's also the glaring fact that if it's just that simple, why he does not do this himself and reap the easy rewards.

It's like those guys selling books on how to get rich quick, or win at the casino or something.

If I had the secrets to things like that I wouldn't be bothering with a book, you ...

So, hands up anyone who would have thought this is where we would be 4 years later.

First the single song for $200, needing to sell 1000 or no sales, and now the 10 song album (some songs missing) for 2 million.

Only in the world of Vinnie.

So it does indeed say "few left" on the website and if you go further you can add at least 9 or 10 on this $2000000 item to your cart.

Is this even a legitimate sale of the album and it's rights etc, because there should only be one available to purchase.

At the end of the day it's probably not a ...

Andre's drums are what you/we want, yes indeed. The drum machine on Euphoria, please not again.

Hopefully he does have that work somewhere still and it wasn't lost like Bobby's original drums on the VVI debut.

PayPal is showing how small fry Vinnie is.

oops

All I have ever seen on Facebook is that there is an update coming. Interesting.

Can you imagine the kind of checks and balances you'd want in place if you actually did this deal with Vinnie?

It sounds like a bottomless pit of legal back and forth - and provenance would tell you its going to be a nightmare to deal with this person.

I do wonder if Vinnie just posts this shit ...

There seems to be no mention of shipping costs so let's assume it's included in the price.

This is a step down in $$$ for Vinnie, who was going to get more than $200,00 per song thanks to his inflated shipping prices. Should they ever have sold like the hit cakes he thinks they are.

This makes the ...

That doesn't seem to be in the contract and no take backs once you get it.

I also love that it's a two week turn around to send it.

I know what kind of service I'd want for my sweet 2 million.

Even Gene would fly to to, or fly you out, to hand it over personally.

The other thing to consider, and what has been annoying me of late is that this album really is an unfinished mess, and not quite what should have/would have been released back in the day. He's been messing around with it lately, it has a new drummer on it. What we really want/need are the original ...

It would be interesting to find out if there was an actual sale of the Ride The Serpent single. Obviously not enough to go ahead with release, no way that was gonna happen, but one, two, five? Who will know, but surely they will be refunded should anybody have done so.

So now we abandon the song by ...

About 2 hours ago the VVI Facebook posted about a Guitarmageddon update.

Nothing there yet but this has been released apparently.

I don't think Peter is obsessed with the money, more the artistic side of releasing this music. He's not gonna lose sleep over how many it's sold or what it did on the charts. It's just great he recorded it and put it out.

It is super doubtful that Vinnie will sell the required 1000 copeis.

I also ...

Yes, it does seem the Slaughter biopic is a non-starter. It should be out already.

I didn't even know about the Runaways one (not that I remember), and those are some pretty cool actors. I'm going to check it out, thought I generally hate these things, they are sooooooooo factually incorrect, which ...

Hey, that was pretty cool. Jason is so very inspirational on so many levels.

Disjointed is fairly apt, there's a bit of that in the post VVI musical world, on some songs. Not sure what Vinnie was going for.

Is that version a bit short?

I do like the album, and I thought the first single was one of the best things on it, I love his laugh at the end.

I probably like Out Of Control More still, but I'm sure I'll give it a listen.

Money making or not, it's great that Peter got this out there as part of his legacy, it will probably be ...

I don't think a "finished" vocal exists. All Robert did was go in there to help Vinnie out, and then it all fell apart and no chance to do more, so what Robert did initially is what we get. It sounds fine, we just will never know how much better it might have been. No way Robert could sing like that ...

That's what also concerns me, the sooooo many versions of these songs, and more versions as the months and years go by.

Apparently this single has new drums, which are provided by the guy that did the background drums to the songs Vinnie "played" to at Creaturesfest. I would much rather here Andre ...

True, Homer did deliver the car, even though it was terrible. After failing in the automotive field it seems he's trying in the musical one, with Vinnie, LoL.

Megadeth, No.1 album, Vinnie, number nothing nothing.

Vinnie certainly does provide amusement, to many people, and he entertains them, but not in the way he thinks, or wants. It's like watching the worlds slowest train wreck occur, ever so slowly.

You just never know what laughable thing he will come up with next.

It's almost like Homer Simpson is ...

Jesus Vinnie is a liar isn't he? A true con artist. Lies from the beginning for a supposedly finished and ready to release album.

But, there are supply chain issues, the vinyl pressing problem, etc....and now what we get is nothing to do with any of that.

Just a single song on a CDR for $200, what ...

Max clearly doesn't know a lot, LoL.

The CD would also need to be a professionally produced one, not a CDR.

There is no other artist who does stuff like this. Nobody would pile on the crap this thick, especially when it's not even believable.

All this in the middle of the $200 CD single fiasco.....

Sooo.....this was posted by Vinnie:

Yeah, we believe this is from "Ride The Serpent" Vinnie, truly we do.....

Well, I don't, but thse are the first sycophantic replies:

What dream world do Vinnie and these people ...

Ahh, the 80's, what a time to be alive! 1987 in this case!

Vinnie out and about and doing stuff, something else that happened in the 80's.

It’s very cool that a cool guitar dude like this has done a review of Vinnie’s guitar instrucional video. I have heard so much negativity on guitar forums when this video is brought up, so this is a breath of fresh air.

He’s actually super nice, all things considered, as the Vinnie video is pretty ...

I almost watched all of it this morning and I need to watch some parts of the Metal Tech video to get my response to the review ready.

A pretty cool review from a cool guitar player:

Me news feed is filled with different versions of Vinnie being laughed at for how he's "releasing" his album, an overpriced single at a time, and refusing to do it different, holding the music hostage.

I tell ya, and it's suprising to say this all things considered, but it's never been more ...

Vinnie just has a lot of unresolved hate for poor Mark. Nobody can understand it, it's childish and pointless.

Look how bad it makes him look and he posted it willingly himself.

I just saw this post and had to admire Vinnie's articulate comment about Mark's singing.

I click the video link and the first comment I see:

I like this one, it has sound!!

Ok, there you go, they left the UK recently, bloody hell!!

Yes, Imgur is blocked in the UK as of late 2025 due to the UK's stricter Online Safety Act and investigations by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) into Imgur's handling of children's data, leading Imgur's parent company to ...

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. It's good to have this place to discuss what we discuss.

Interesting to know about the Imgur issue, had no idea. I'll look into it. I started using it after Photobucket kicked the bucket in terms of service.
