Hello From New Zealand.

Hey Everyone, I just found your website online and want to become part of your community.
I recognise many familiar names especially you Dino!.
I have spent the last couple of hours listening to Guitars From Hell (Thanks Wilma) and there is no doubting Vinnie is an absolute guitar and song writing genius.
Although I dont appreciate some of Vinnie's fan interaction and lack of it, his volume of work definitely deserves to be celebrated.
I have obsessed and followed Vinnie since " Creatures Of The Night " blew me away.....

Thanks Genebaby, from what I've read and seen so far - this is true.
I'm now listening to The Pink And Black Attack and very happy to be here.

Thanks PinkWiz, and I am really enjoying your posts and humour.
You are definately a person who doesn't hold back and says what he thinks.
Keep It Up.

Thanks metatron, I always loved this track and haven't seen this video for a very longtime.
It's great to be part of this VVFF and share sometime with like minded individuals.

How come some of these cheesy videos were so popular ?
Sorry but I cringed watching this one.
I hadn't heard this tune in years either.
Not one I was ever fond of but thanks anyway ! .

The video is very 80's yes, but the song is killer, I loved it after hearing it again in January. Very catchy and a killer vocal from Patty.

See how I put it in my sig? :)

Yeah Genebaby got it. Good lyrics. I have a friend that absolutely loves Patty so I know the attraction.

Ha ha, cool. I was away from this song since 84/85 but the radio played it and I got the album, which is also excellent. I was too young to care about albums when it came out, I just mostly listened to the songs on the radio that were the singles.

I always thought the Ultimate Warriors makeup wouldve been the perfect "hawk" design!

Maybe you could be right.
Did you ever see Eric Carr's original yellow feathered outfit ?

yes, Big Bird all the way! I actually think the hawk costume could've been really cool if done right... but:

i just noticed this.. holly crap DEAN Is back !! GREAT NEWS.
Great to see you back!!!!!

Dean do you know what happened on the old board? Vinnie actually booted you because of your username.

Dean was one of the prolific guys on the pyro board and my version of the dv board. So good your back.

we had a few months with tj, dean, bt, rockmon, tommy, sammy, vikkie vincent, drew, freddy, quentin and kev once in a while. Maybe i missed a few people as well. I am guessing around summer 2007. BT was actually the moderator of the dv board and i was super admin but i think when he bought a TJ Monster and I laid into TJ that ended .. hehe. On the pyro board they had a live chat i remember and we used to invite vv to chat before we even knew he read the forum, but he never did. I was super positive about vv and never said a bad word back then.. how times have changed.

Thanks Dino for such a warm welcome. It's good to be back and in such good company.
Yes Dawn told me I was the first one to be deleted off the dv board.
My user name Cusano2008 was out of respect to him. The plonker always punishes the one's who love him most.

Yeah we all had some good times together.
Looks like the old gang is gradually finding it's way here to this great site.
Dino I am so happy you now are actually speaking your mind and sharing the truth about Vinnie.
I knew he was bullinging you, and you stayed so loyal to him.
He is without a doubt one of the most self destructive people known to man.

Hi and welcome Vinniewolf. Good to have another from down under. eBay is probably your best bet in finding a range of Vinnie stuff.
