Did VV own Fleischmans vocals aswell?

Maybe even the air that passes Robert's voice box.

Vv has not changed one bit. What I hear about vv in the 80s and the stuff he said back then is exactly what he says now.

Vv abusing and freaking out on bobby was the beginning of the end. Kiss and vvi finished and he hasn't played live since.

Bobby and until vinnies recent attack on mark would have given it another shot. I believe bobby still might if the chance was offered. I actually believe bobby gives vv the benefit of doubt more than I think he deserves.

Bobby is more than fair and kind in regards to his time with VVI. A class act.

Yeah interesting interview. I know when Dana talks you have to think what is fact or fiction but it is amusing to hear how he see's it. Vinnie could have had it all if he wasn't so self destructive.

He could have, yes he could have.

well he is finished now.

Done and dusted.

Or, I hope he's done doing the dusting. He spends all day at home, he may as well get a little housework in.

The biggest waste of talent in the history of rock n roll?

Pretty much. What a waste.

Obviously vinnie hasnt got it in him anymore. When he was talking of releasing stuff it was all old stuff. I think the magic has gone.
He is still chatting to a few fans but thats about it

Time makes fools of us all. Especially Vinnie.

this might be a little late, but i messaged Mark Slaughter on Myspace a long ass time ago. Question. What happened to VVI? Answer. Internal Complications Between Vinnie, and everyone else. just thought id share my bit of info

Sounds about right. Vinnie killed his own band and never got another one.

If you listen to that interview Fleischman gave...yeah, Vinnie had yet a third chance with Guitars From Hell to release an album in the early 90's and establish himself in the niche market as a guitar virtuoso right before grunge destroyed metal. He sabotaged his own chance by double-crossing the label and going behind their backs and shopping the material they had paid for to other labels. He fucked himself.
