Re: REFUNDS!
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...

Re: Vinnie show officially cancelled
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 ...

Re: Vinnie's Official Statement
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 ...

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.
