The chatroom isn't working out. It doesn't integrate well and with time zone differences, if there was a cool chat some people would miss out.
There can always be a special thread if we need to organsie something, and questions could be answered in turn, and there would be a good record of them for others to read when they visited next.
So I guess my next suggestion is to compile a list of names of people to be interviewed. Approaching them by explaining our dilemna and explaining that this is not a headhunting or slanderous,mean-spirited venture and that in FACT we are fans . The questions for each person would require VIC (Gene Baby) to keep them nice and neat and delete those questions which may stir the shit.
1. Vinnie Cusano
2. Invasion members- Mark Slaughter
Dana Strum
Bobby Rock
Robert Fleischman
3. Peter Criss-wrote with V V
4. R. Ranno- Starz
5. Jeff Scott Soto
6. Goran Edman
7. Andre Labelle
8. Grover Jackson-Anyone associated with Jackson guitars at the time.
9.Ed Roman (for comic relief only,I've even had bad experiences with this guy, expect nothing but slander if we decide to go any further with this guy.)
10. Tom Palecki-AZG/Pear guitars
11. The Bangles
12. JOHN Waite (lol) Tom, John ,What the fucks the difference? LOL
13.Carvin guitars
14.Ibanez guitars
15.Washburn guitars
16.Treasure members
17.Warrior members
18.George Sewitt- management
ETC... Anybody have any ideas?

I´ve already spoken directly to Ed ref VV .. nothing to tell other than what I posted at the time on pyro´s board .. Andre seems sick of the whole subject although he is uber nice about it all .. Jackson guitars dont know shit since Fender took over although I did speak with Dan Lawrence who painted the snakeskin graphic on my guitar .. here is the email reply
Trev,
Yes I remember that one and many others that pasted through Jackson over the years. It’s true they discontinued that model over the name game. Now that Fender owns Jackson any model or graphic that has an artist’s name in the description, Vinnie Vincent “Vâ€
1. vinnie doesn't give interviews. he has said that over and over. all interviews after 96 are fake.
2. mark slaughter has said recently he would be open to speaking and making up with vv. I think he has no chance.
2.1. Dana . Said something cool to drew about vv years ago (i think). No chance of speaking to vv
2.2. Bobby. Always says nice things about vv. told me about the la guns fiasco in detroit. No chance of him working with vv again.
2.3. R. F said a few things a couple of years back. Seems to be nice about v, and maybe some neutral things. no idea but i do not see him teaming up with vv however maybe a better chance than any other vvi member which is zero.
3. I doubt you could ever reach Peter.
4. Ranno. Said VV is very paranoid
5. Soto. can not remember anything. Think VV likes him still.
6 Edman . Some stuff about vv out there and how he used back on the streets demo to get Norum and Malmsteen gigs. Think V may still like him.
7. He said many nice things about vv. No chance of working with vv again however.
8. Grover doesn't seem to talk about vinnie or history of vv guitar for some reason.
9. Ed Roman. Will tell you stories.
10. Tom . No idea where he stands as of a week ago.
11. The bangles. Interview out there. nice one.
12. Tom Waite ???
13. Carvin. Will not talk about vv or guitar.
14. Ibanez. They know nothing of ever making a vv guitar.
15. Washburn. They know nothing of making a vv guitar.
16. Drummer Jack Scarnegella gave a interview this year. Said nice things. Vinnie loves Jack and I believe thinks he is the best drummer he worked with.
17. Gary Shea says nice things, however he mentioned vv was in new england with him which vv denies.
George Sewitt was managing Vinnie and Ace? I think it was back in the day. I remember George from the Kiss "Innter Sanctum" special of their Australian tour in 1980, he was the Tour Manager at the time.
