Re: does anyone have any fond memories with the Metal Tech vhs?

It used to crack me up that he "played" the solos from ASG pretty deadpan, almost bored looking, apart from at the end of Ashes to Ashes when he got a bit animated. Given his style you would have thought he would have been more OTT with them. Also loved that he threw (I think it was) the "Animal" so...

Re: Article on Warrior and Vinnie

Interesting article. Is that band picture of Warrior where they are all wearing some kind of armour lurking around here someplace, or does anyone have it? If I recall correctly, it was in a Kerrang news article some time in the early '80s, I used to have it but can't remember exactly when it was now.

Van Halen teasers

The short teasers of ‘deep cut’ practice from 5150 on VHND are simply awesome. Hopefully an indication of some real treats for the tour.

Imagine if Vinnie would post some bits like this… now that would be special!

Re: 79 Edgar winter group tour

According to Edgar Winter in this interview by Jason Saulnier in Dec 2009, footage of the 1979-80 tour exists, but he's not specific.

He talks about Vinnie from about 5:26 to 8:00, and is very complimenty if a bit vague.
