The original tune written by Stan Bush... killer vocals. This dude and Vinnie together would've fukn slayed:

Had the Sahara album and loved it in the day.

Like Vinnie...James Christian was from Connecticut, he was in a band called "Eyes" and they were the largest drawing band around. I would go see them when they played in Bridgeport and there would be a line around the block just to get a chance to see them play !!! James moved out to California and then joined "House Of Lords", I had expressed to Vinnie that a "Hometown" concert in Bridgeport would be a great way to start the "Return Of Vinnie Vincent" and my thoughts were to have James and his "House Of Lords" band warm up for him. James still currently tour's and this would have been a sold out show, what a great venue it could have been.....

I never understood why Stan Bush never really made it over that next plateau of success. He had an outstanding voice and wrote some incredibly catchy pop songs.

I've voiced my love for HoL on this site before. James Christian has a very similar vocal style to Stan Bush. I had never thought about it.

Has anyone heard the new HoL stuff since they reformed? The idea of him carrying on without Giuffria turned me off a little bit. I always consider picking one up to give the new band line-up a chance...but which one? The reviews are pretty evenly mixed. Even James says that first one after they reformed (& Giuffria dropped out) wasn't that great.

House of Lords and Stan Bush are both excellent

Ed, was vv going to play with a band in your proposed show?

We never really got to that point of the discussion...but I do believe Vinnie would have gotten a band together if in fact things were to have worked out !

Hopefully not too late. Vinnie should have an agent, that would be the first step to a come back but what agent would take his bs?

I am wondering how in the hell could vv get a band together and practise etc.
I do know yngwies drummer would do it but jeez I don't see vv rehearsing and paying a band.

I'm sure Vinnie has lots of friends or connections that would love the chance to play or do a gig with him...As for an agent, he needs someone he can trust and someone who is not out to make $$$$ or take advantage of him, just basically cover the costs involved, sit back and watch the guy play !!! Hopefully someday he will learn to trust some people, at least maybe the one's who have helped him in the past, whatever happens I will always wish him the best....

Respectfully, but can people trust Vinnie?

It all starts with an HONEST gesture of GOOD WILL.

Whether Vinnie thinks he owes it or not.

the thing is he has to be trustworthy for people to trust him and the only way he will trust people is if they are trustworthy but they can not be trustworthy because Vinnie doesn't trust them because Vinnie isn't trustworthy and he can not even trust himself and if you can not trust yourself no chance of trusting anyone else.

That said what is trust? Trust what. If he has a legit agent that reps other artists then it should be fine as long as he doesnt come up with some plan that he thinks is clever which will end up ruining everything and sinking the ship like always happens.

I always consider picking one up to give the new band line-up a chance...but which one?
