The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Kuron

Some people still have not been refunded from Graceland or for items they paid for at Atlanta and never received. I would not be waiting for Derek to refund money, I would be contacting my credit card company. Given that Vinnie is now wanting to reschedule, they may do what they did with Graceland a...

@shramiac It is infuriating, isn't it? LOL There is almost like this evolutionary leap that the younger generation has made when it comes to music. It just comes so natural for them. My friend's son got into music and wanted to play and start a band. Death Metal, totally not my thing. But within a c...

I am hoping it will hit Amazon soon.

VV reply was he wanted our home address's so as to send out legal notices to sue us. - I Shit You Not. The wonderful thing about Vinnie is he is a public figure. The supreme court has ruled very clearly what does and does not apply to public figures. It is a different set of rules. However, I will ...

Kuron

I will buy this! Funny how time has shown that even the VVI albums were mostly not new material, and were simply leftovers. It makes you wonder just how long this "not being able to create something new" was really going on? Perhaps that is the real reason he did not reform VVI immediately. No old ...

Impressive lass. Think the Round And Round video is my fave.

I will, one day.

Kuron

Truth be said - Dana Strum made VVI succeed as much as it did. Without a doubt and that was a big take away from Bobby's book. Vinnie really needs to not be in control of anything, and be told what to do, when to do it and, perhaps, even how to do it. It is almost unanimous that those who have put ...

Indeed. Very well said.

I forgot about Positive Grid's Bias as well for a pure PC/Mac plug in. Stevie T uses it as his stock recording amp sim and it is very cheap! Only a couple hundred bucks for the whole thing. Thank you, that is one I was not aware of. It is an extremely impressive beastie. I still use a standalone mu...

Kuron

@AnkhWarrior I agree with you. Vinnie clearly has some fans who are stalker-ish and do not understand or respect boundaries. There is a pretty long list of artists who have suffered horrible fates at the hands of over-zealous fans. For his own safety and mental well-being, Vinnie really should pull ...

He has come a long way from Rock Dolls. Always liked Kane.

Very fair article:

It's happened twice now and Vinnie thinks it's cool to only share his explanation with a chosen few? C'mon. Vinnie should stay away from Full Shredd. They are "chop you up and put you in baggies" weird. The lack of transparency through all of this has been disturbing and contributed to much of the ...

Kuron

I was referring to trying to make something out of the comeback, planning trips to Graceland and having it cancelled without even so much as an I'm sorry to the people that booked place to stay and transportation to TN. I was driving, but I had to book a hotel. Graceland is cool and all but I wasnt...

Kuron

I am not quite sure how this effects current members. How is not accepting a new member hindering them. And what harm does a new member pose as they are not the "guilty" party in question. The drama surrounding this whole situation is ridiculous. I left all the Vinnie FB groups I was part of as it ...

I am one of the core that has been a part of this forum for 20 odd years. You've been here about 7 months. Choose your words BETTERLY. If you are that hurt, actually do something about it, instead of making veiled threats. Shutting down a FB page? No need for that crap. Of course not, rules do not ...

He's a big proponent of Kemper and has his own amp modeling. He loves them. The old studio I worked at before moving to TN had a huge wall of amps that I had access to. I am extremely limited to what I have now and for my own use in my studio. I am definitely wanting to go the modeling route due to...

So now with Vic getting booted, it's showing ANYONE who is a part of these 'vv bashing forums' will get booted. Although we do have one here who apparently shares the Full Shredd blind-faith-Vinnie-can-do-no-wrong belief, folks here are being very fair in their criticisms and simply calling Vinnie ...

Vinnie did not learn from the first two experiences with Derek and is now going for round three. Of course now that the shows are back to simply being rescheduled, there is no need to refund any $$ paid for tickets. Yer, how many times is the the boy who cried reschedule going to do this? Until fan...

Keep in mind that Vinnie's statement was intended for Full Shredd ONLY and was NOT supposed to be released to the public. There is an outcry as they try to find their mole.

That it is there is an endorsement for Kemper. May have to look into Kemper a bit more.

thanks for the heads up. i will look into those. i have high hopes for the new peterson strobe pedals that were at namm. i've got an ibanez big mini (which was $50 straight down the dumper!) and a polytune mini 2. the polytune is decent in strobe mode and i feel like i can do a decent intonation wi...

It all makes sense now,...why it took so long to publicly announce that the shows were being cancelled. He wanted to wait until after DOTD in Atlanta! Had it happened prior to that, there's a good possibility he would've been swarmed and confronted by several upset fans. Had it happened prior to th...

I agree with both of you.

The Treasure album, two VVI albums and a kick-ass guitar design. That may be all we ever see from Vinnie and it is far more than what we see from many artists. Back in the 70s and before, many artists released a single and then burned out.

~~ A Frehley's Comet reunion is now a lot more likely, if the guys were not already touring without him and with Richie, you really do not need Ace. ~~ Ace may have just lost his current band (all awesome outstanding guys) given their heavy Gene connection. If nothing else, it will be a very uncomfo...

Thanks, Chris. I just purchased her two albums off of Amazon. I'm really digging Drifter & Simply Divine.

Hopefully some others will step up and support an indie artist and a fellow Vinnie fan who just got ripped off.

Everybody needs to go get their snuggly time with their Vinnie jack rag blanket.

Chris: If she has a site, share the link. Perhaps some folks will step up and purchase a CD and help ease her financial loss.

My main gripe is the accuracy of most tuners. I need accuracy. I am conv...

What a man does with a giant cuddly Vinnie blanket in the privacy of his own studio, is his business. I really don't want to know.

I guess I need to retract my previous statement due to hypocrisy. I just remembered, I busted an acoustic guitar over my own head on stage back in the late 80s. Damn thing just would not stay in tune, major intonation issues, too. Busted it over my head and walked off the stage and grabbed my Ovatio...

I agree. I hate to see instruments not taken care of, or abused. I literally cringe anytime I see somebody smash a guitar on stage.

On the surface hearing someone say they play WASP at nursing homes sounds funny because they were so loud and leathery, not how you associated with sweet granny. But seriously, such a great thing.

I am more partial to the self titled album. Found it more aggressive and original.

And in a market where they were handing out platinum albums like free samples they did pretty w...

Because of that segment of fans, it is to the benefit of Vinnie's safety that he lives in a stand your ground state. That segment of fans is also why so many in the entertainment industry have concealed carry permits.

I am not sure how long the display would hold up with a foot being slammed into it all of the time. However, Ernie Ball pedals are built like a tank. Unfortunately, they are usually the size of a tank. I generally do not use pedals except for recording. However, for a country gig, a volume pedal is ...
