Vinnie had the first strat headstock Jackson logo, first Rhoads guitars with a Floyd Rose, first Floyd/EMG equipped guitars, and he also originated "The CLAW".

Tortelvis' (Dred Zeppelin) career has prospered from ripping off Vinnie's famous pose.

Is Tortelvis dead?

I loved Dreads first 2 albums. They really lost the plot after that.
