Re: VV Birthday Jamm?
I think Vinnie would have fit right as a composer during the 16th century; just as misunderstood and ridiculed but with the "luxury" of modern, digital exposure

Re: VV Birthday Jamm?
Just think where we were 20 years ago. VV was an enigma. At least now he's with us. While he couldn't be described as the pyro messiah anymore, things could be much worse. We're 50% there imho

Seems he tried that "route". These low-hanging fruit "events" are easier on the fingers as it were, especially since they can't shred the frets.

I've known Chris for many years through phone and email, but we never met. I was the genesis behind the Dean Shred Spider Impellitteri model that went into a very limited run because Chris never approved the final version (neck radius issues). Then he started working with Grover, Shannon, Charvel, e...

If Vinnie really wanted to make an impact, he'd have released music instead of making comic/horror convention appearances. This was a pure money drive - not for fans, not for notariety.
