I miss my poster

Post by poserboy71 »

At one time, I had this poster. Vinnie signed his name across the entire V.

How big was it? Was it from a magazine? What happened to yours?

It was a huge wall poster. A little larger than a standard poster.

I recall that it was carelessness of youth. It could only take being tacked and taped so many times before it shredded.
I still have my LIU poster though . Not autographed. Maybe one day !

Funny thing is love kills single had some giant posters for euro release only.. the funny thing the band were split by tge time the promo material got to the european record stores.

Vvi I think were bigger in europe by the time asg rolled out. I think vvi could have played small theatres in europe ratger than clubs... mostly down to the great press asg had in european magazines.

I think VVI could've done a festival tour circuit in Europe and done well.

I think he could have sold as many seats that ace did in london in 88 which was over 3000. He could have had well over 1500 in most over cities in europe. Better than he was doing in north america.

I bet so too.They had such a great controversy on Europe.I would like see them on tour with Helloween or Scorpions bands so famous on Europe.Shit that's when i say why the Invasion ended so bad.They could be such a blast over the world they could be bigger than the same Kiss

errr i don't think VVI could have ever been as big as kiss but nice thought.

VV must have had no money as I would have guessed he would have hired a new band to continue touring. I think the ASG tour was a major blow in terms of how much money they made and that the band were feuding.

He could have gotten goran and some euro players for the asg tour. A lot of people said vv had a huge breakdown so maybe mentally he wasnt up for it

That said I saw goran live with john norum and he didnt stand out too much.. maybe thats what vv would have wanted. I was good friends with pepsi tate before he died and he would have left tigertailz to play with vinnie.
Mikey dee from king diamond and don dokken would have loved to play with vv and one of yngwies more recent drummers is a huge vinnie fan.

i am sure no money left. Mark Slaughter said that they were all broke during the ASG tour, one of the reasons the band were looking for other things. I am guessing VV just ran out of money and maybe promoters were not throwing themselves at him to have VV play live and maybe no support gigs were coming up either.

I got one off David Snowden, it is completely autographed by the whole band. Unfortunately Dana Signed in red and his signature faded out. If I ever get it out of storage I will post a photo. It's a large poster 25 x 37 inches.

I just landed 2 of these posters in a collection. They both have minor moisture damage on one edge, it must have been very light as it has a warped effect on the side of poster with a little damage, but the colors and
stuff are still great, with a few minor flaws. If anyone is interested in one make an offer, this one
is 24 x 36 and just slightly different with songs listed in a triangle on the right side.

Cool poster! I love those "cartoony" graphics! A VV Invasion Saturday morning cartoon would've been the shit! ;)
