Kick ass!! Great find Sammy. I thought Rick was looney but it exists, and two years after VVI finished.

There is the Ibanez. Any chance of a bigger pic?

And the fact that it exists, changes your view on Rick's Looonatism?

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 1:31 pm

He's just a little less loony now.

thats not vinnie? it also doesn't look like the ibanez in the lick it up video. this should be in the news section as far as i can tell.

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:46 am

white and purple.. i really don't think thats vv or vv's love kills guitar. I think thats a totally different ibanez

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:55 am

ok, now i do think its the same guitar in the love kills video.. but is that VV?

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:57 am

Looks like the same contols set up & "ghost" shark inlays too. Guess I'll have to ask the Ibi forum experts again now that there is a second guitar! Unless of Ibi took it back and resprayed it, which of course would be silly!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! Guess Rick will still have to dig out his old mags to find it or we could contact Dean Markley! Geez, when you enlarge it does look like him!

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:03 am

Actually I know it is him! I'd recognise that skateboarding technique anywhere!!!

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:04 am

can someone contact the ibanez man or the board? and the dean markley dudes.

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:14 am

Jusy sent PM to the Ibi forum expert!

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:31 am

good. i bet they don't know nothing.. do you think that is purple or gold on the shadow?

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 12:05 pm

I'd say it kinda does look purple! You'd think the gold would show up against the background of the black mesh on the amps? And the creamy yellowy brown of the amp's vinyl shows up ok! Still it could be just a trick of the light? And if Rick says he remembers it saying "VV guitar hero" then I guess we'd have to assume it is the V-man till Rick digs up a high res shot! Curious that the Dean Markley site doesn't have this ad in their archives though???

It's Vinnie for sure and the guitar is white/gold.
The guitar and him look great. He could come out now with a similar outfit (plus a t-shirt) and just fucking rock.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:57 pm

That is Vinnie for sure but the fin looks purple to me on this computer.

Just had a look, it looks purple in the blown up version.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 2:24 am

Just like Vinnie, nothing is ever clear .

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:47 am

I am looking at this on a different computer and it looks like gold now. Darker gold than the carvin.

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:49 am

I think v should have kept his normal hair in vvi.. much much better.

Totally agree Dino. It's who we really are that counts!

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:50 am

I liked some of the wigs, I'll grant you that, even the early look, as in my avatar, which I love. It would have been totally cool and fine if he looked like he did he toured with Kiss, but I guess he wanted to be outrageous (like the boyz that want to rock) and over the top, hence the first look, which sometimes did look cool, but not always.

Every time I see VVI toned down, it looks great. Hindsight is always 20/20 though, and it was the 80's guys. VVI was being put together in 1985. What did Kiss look like in 85/86? Nuff said, lol.

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:40 am

yeah, totally. its just neat (if that is vv) to see him looking pretty normal. i am very surprised that he did that.

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:41 am

i tend to think its just a model with vv's guitar.. i would really like to see the caption. the nose doesn't look to much like vv.

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:43 am

some confussion if they are v inlays or dot. anyone know?

Post by **Streetbeat** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:18 am

it looks like V inlays

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 12:13 pm

Could be Vs or just Ibanez "ghost shark tooth" inlays. Ibanez's version of the Jackson triangle.

Granted these only appeared on an Ibi in the last couple of years but maybe they were thought up back in 88'??

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 12:21 pm

i think they are v too. like the washburn. the neck has no white boarders, like the jackson and washburn.. what's the technical name for that? i think it is the love kills one. the controls look the same and the pick up selector is unique on this one.

I like this one as its maybe the most subtle one. I think if VV offered me a gift (in a weird dream).. i would take this.. ha, fat chance of a gift that good or at all!

Yes it looks like Vinnie and I'm confused by what looks like a gold fin on the bottom and a purple fin on the top? It must be the lighting and shadows?

doublev · Post by **doublev** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 7:16 am

It looks like bronze almost.Still not 100% its vv

You've got to be fucking kidding me. THAT'S Vinnie !!!

Whatever this guitar is , the shadow fins are not the same color as the "original" Ibanez that appeared in the "Love Kills" video. The Ibanez and Washburn had the same color scheme . (very similar to the colors of my Monster VVV ) This one is closer to the color scheme that was on his Carvin. (Even looks darker then that in this photo , that could be lighting,exposure, etc. ) Just my 2 cents on it...
