doublev2 wrote:what is so confusing is why did vv who can write so well rip off the Sin Demo? Was Dana really pushing him? Unless he has terrible time constraints and couldn't come up with new music why would he rip it off? Also their are question marks on a few other songs as well as the opening of Ashes to Ashes which I feel should have been credited to the original artist as much as VV got credit for that I love it loud drum sample in that dance tune recently.
From the stories I've read, Vinnie sort-of attempted to say they should "work together"...which I guess was his way to cozy up and get the song. When that did not happen, he just took it.

The more I read the more I think, 'shit, who didn't rip Rik Fox off'. (insert sarcasm any time you like) :wink:

& then Blackie Lawless rips Rik off. It's just like musical chairs. Has this guy got a target painted on his back or what? Will Rik ever get his justice? Will Rik ever get to sit down?

All you need to listen to music is a pair of ears. My point is valid.

I have nothing against you KMA, just didn't like how you quoted my post and replied stating "who cares?" as if anything I stated had no point or worth. It is fact not fiction and some may not care at all that Vinnie Vincent boosted more than an image from Rik Fox.

I write songs and I've had rival bands actually steal my originals and that really hurts. Some would say its flattery, I would say it is being a petty thief to stoop that low. And that's all I wanted to comment on the matter.

I'm sorry Rexx. I'm sorry to hear that people stole material from you. I think Vinnie Vincent should answer the questions himself about where he got his material. Image is different, though. Alot of guys in the industry have been dressing in drag in the industry since David Bowie. But image doesn't mean much to me.

Exactly right, Rik is a huge Angel fan and copied the image of bassist Mick Jones (R.I.P.) and Punky Meadows.
I think the music stealing is more serious.

Looks like you can only turn me into the bad person for expecting proof.

Do you mean Vinnie's old friend Al Ferrante?

There was a guy who worked for Ed Roman in Vegas that dressed like Vinnie, is that who you mean? Talking of Ed ROman I took my guitar collection up to him in Connecticut when his shop was there in about 2001 and he went through all my guitars telling me they were fake even though some of them I had pictures of the luthier making them from start to finish. He always told me that they were faking the pictures. He offered me next to nothing. I said to him who the hell is going to fake a Royal guitar or a Hamer Virtuoso or a Ritz or MAson Bernard or Spector 6 string guitar. All obscure as hell. Funny guy.

Didn't Gene Simmons say something similar, "Give Vinnie the keys to the kingdom and he'd hang himself" or something like that?

Did your convo with Rik just happen? I'm wondering about the timeframe on that, if it was in reference to the DV charge if was quite awhile back or the foreclosure of his home the forum learned about just today.

TIA (and congrats on that awesome shirt package!)

No I was actually reading an artical a few months back and I saw riks name in one of the law suits against vinnie being a Fb friend of rik fox at the time I did not know about and had a relationship with vinnie so I messaged him about it and that was his reply he did not say much to me about it

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that it was a comment made awhile back. I was hoping like hell he wasn't referring to the foreclosure being Vinnie's karma because that would be a pretty damned heartless thing to say.
