Yep, Dana strum and I were just talking about that tonight.
No interest in my part at the time.
Thanks to poserboy for digging this info out!!!

i just could not imagine it myself. All Systems go with Steve on vocals. Interesting though. I still say the two best vocal performances of the 80s were on VVI one and two albums.

Steve seems like a GOOD OL' BOY. He has a Rockin' RASP to his voice that I believe Vinnie wouldn't have gone for simply because Vinnie already had that in his own voice and didn't want that representing the VVI sound.

Dannii that's exactly the tune I was thinking. That should have been a big hit. I saw them twice once on bill with kiss winger and slaughter.

teve has a great voice and is an incredible frontman still to this day but I strongly believe that if Vinnie knew about Dana's intentions, he quickly put a stop to it and insisted on the style of singers that he eventually used.
Key word----USED.
