Kinda, he's not a "Blue Man". He's in the Neon Band which is part of the show.

He's been with them for a long time. Probably back to 2004 or 2005.

It's a good show. I think they just moved to another venue recently in Vegas.

I was kinda bummed that Monster Circus didn't work out at the Hilton. Bobby played in that some shows. There's video of it on Youtube.

The main problem with Monster Circus, I believe, is the lack of big name talent (lead singers). Nobody cared about seeing John Carabi and some of the others they had. Scrap Metal's list of lead singers would have been much better.

If Vinnie would've took the Billy Squire/Aldo Nova route he wouldn't have to worry about the "Scrap Metal lead singers" of today.

Sorry Cusano, you had the voice, you had the songwriting skills, you had the chops... Mark Slaughter was YOUR abomination...

I spoke to bobby a month ago. Bobby is pretty positive . He definitely said that he had very little vvi fans come to his drum demo shows in 90s and early 2000s but quite a few nitro ones.

Are you sure you were talking to THE Bobby Rock? ;).

That's funny, because I saw Bob all the time back then. Went to a bunch of his clinics etc. There were always kids showing up with VVI cds, Metal Edge magazines etc and asking for him to sign stuff. Some Nelson fans with stuff.

But he was always happy and smiling about those VVI days then. And he should have been.. if you have a bunch of the old flyers from his clinics etc..... front and center....drummer for Vinnie Vincent Invasion.

I don't know why he stared at you blankly back then. Interesting.

Apparently, according to an Ass Pimple, what you experienced couldn't be true. This coming from the same jag off that claimed none of us experienced people not knowing who the VVI was back in the 80s.

This guy is an expert in what everyone experienced in their life.

He wasn't mean , He just didn't elaborate on VVI . I just chalk it up to him being tired. We were all just sitting at his kit for a line check if I remember correctly.

Buillshit.

You went to BR clinics all the time back then?? Where and when please? Also I doubt any Nelson fans if they still are around had a clue who the drummer was, not that kind of band. I will post an interview and and email from Bobby where he said Nitro fans were around so much more than anyone else.

Now now. The Ass Pimple knows more about what you experienced than YOU do. Remember...he has internet search capability.

what i am saying is this person who will not identify themselves.. also has vvi reel to reel tapes from the studio.. acts like he or she was an insider to the vvi and knows bobby personally then says he or she went to many BR clincics in late 90s and saw VVI cd's being signed all the time. How can anyone believe this crap. So you were an insider.. have tapes and hung out at Bobby Rock Peavy clinics.. ?????

Give me a break. Please GO AWAY.

That was the Rock Never Stops tour 1994 with Whitesnake opening?

Was Mark or Dana around?

That was a good tour..... I enjoyed catching those shows...

Slaughter opened.

Funny, For as much as I have been around Mark and Dana, I've never asked them about VVI. :? :? :? :?

Woops, clearly that was a typo. I should have said headlining. Did you see them with the Whitesnake, Warrant, Winger, Slaughter bill?

That sounds about right. I saw that tour SO I'm guessing that was the tour Bobby was on.

That he is. I hope you have his drumming instructional DVD's and his music cds. Well worth it!
