The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

He would have some great information! Hopefully he's not afraid to tell it like it was.

He's been on several podcasts over the years. He was very complimentary of Vinnie.

He told about how Vinnie could have spent over 1/2 million recording "Guitarmageddon". I think he said they used 6 different studios.

Andre is the one who talked about the board with all the potential names for the album. Revenge, Guitars From Hell, Guitarmageddon and other names Vinnie had for it.

He talked about Bobby Rock and someone else coming over for dinner at Vinnie's place.

His drum recording was nothing like Bobby's.

And we never got to hear his drumming, we got canned drums on the EP, which we now know Vinnie prefers.

Andre has access to some interesting music.

6 studios, a tonne of money and time and all we got officially 'at best' was an 4 song demo quality E.P. (with drum machine)
OK?
VV needs a Dana Strum back in the fold.

A VV obsession with Drummers are no good and drum machines are better is like some strange neurological disorder.
Thing I liked about ASG over the first album was that IT SOUNDED LIKE A HUNAN WAS PLAYING THE DRUMS. A HUMAN WITH SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES. I'd like for VV to debate the whole Drum Machine V Real human drummer with the likes of a Terry Bozzio.
Pay good money to see the outcome of that!

And even then, remember the
'3speed' recording session

VV 'the drum machine is out of time'

It's a crime what happened to the drums on the first VVI album. Such a tragedy that Bobby's energetic and great sounding drums were lost.

Drum machines have their place and it's not on a rock or metal album.

It would be great if Vinnie still had the masters and they could remix it with the original drums. I'd love to hear that. Of course the chance of that happening is nil.

I think the original drums were overwritten back then, so they were gone, gone, gone right away. That's what I remember from Bobby's book. It just wasn't possible to go back. Mega sadly.

Andrea Rocks!
