Thanks for this.

Hmmmm...songs from ASG, which we know is a good album, but may as well bag out Mark while they are at it.

Sorry, but that guy does not sound or look better than Mark did.

Do you want some more Genebaby ? Or shall I stop there ?

They may have fun, but this is not what I expect to see from a so called rock star, I would not pay a cent for this ! Not 100 persons in there

Mike Brunn confirmed : 45 attendees, he was not allowed to film VV shredding.

This is good. Apart from that aggressive karaoke guy it's a positive I think.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 5:05 am

That guy is out of line. I would demand that guy refunded and kicked out if I had paid 500 bucks. How old is he? It's like a 14 year old party

That's it for the moment, I have to search for the Paul Stanley new Puma sneakers I want to buy before they are sold out !

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:14 am

Thanks for all that.

I'm not a fan of the Paul shoes myself, good luck in your search.

haha, I am a fan of Paul's shoes !!! I must admit ! The golden and silver ones are my favs and affordable (i saw a preview on Puma's website)

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 8:48 am

If Paul did an Adidas shoe I might be interested, but not Puma.

I found that, funny, thinking about VV karaoke

Wow vv sprayed the carvin. That's ruined my day.

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 11:00 am

Yes, I just noticed that, the Carvin looks terrible. Hopefully it can be removed in the future without hurting the original finish.

But my god, what was he thinking?

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 2:42 pm

Sweet Jesus! "It'll be better than the original guy that sang it!"

Yeah if Mark was stuffed in a toilet, flushed into the sewers, processed at the sewage plant and then spread over a farmer's paddock......nah! Mark would still sound 1000% better than this wannabe!

Obviously he was over-excited and crashed & burned. Shame he swore his head off in front of a 10 year old too!

Glad it all happened though and I hope the rest of the evening faired batter!

Now then....when's recording on new music starting?

I think it is a nice tribute to Tom Paleki's AZG /Pear Guitars. (Considering that VV no longer has any of them,
but I DO!)

The event looks like it was pretty "special".

Good Lord.

That Pear is crazy good dannii.
Someone told me that carvin is a different carvin to the one he was seen with last year but I see it as the same one. I can not imagine he had two carvins and carvin confirmed he only had one made in 1989. Anyone else see that there is any possibility that the carvin from yesterdays Christmas show is a different guitar from the 1988 one ?

ok the Ank make-up now, where is the outfit ? This is not the Ank Warrior

Always nice to see Tom’s VVV!
What’s written on the back of the neck?
Did Vinnie give Tom the guitars back ? That would be cool.

tukoztukoz · Post by **tukoztukoz** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 6:25 am

Is it paint or just a lightning effect on the Carvin?

Sadly that would be paint on there.

And that is the one and only Carvin VVV.

Vinnie did not give Tom's guitars back, he's been selling them when he can to fans.

That one is a special one Tom made for Danni.

Another look at the Carvin.

Glad to say I've had a crack

As you can see, even the camera couldn't focus and my supa fast left hand movements, lol

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:49 am

Right hand not moving (for a change....zing!

), so no doubt ripping those Holdsworth legato runs gearing up to start the Demon Driver arpeggios!

T'was great night of wannabe shred, roast chicken and husky barking!

On the back of the neck it has AURORA INVADER on it. Got it built for my daughter Aurora.

The Aurora invader is one of the pointiest guitar on earth! So great!

aeroflott · Post by **aeroflott** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:35 am

Not looking to stir the pot at all, but what's the reasoning behind not releasing any kind of video (or allowing anyone to take video) of Vinnie's playing these days?

If he's playing as well as everyone says he is (and I've no reason to doubt that), why would any artist/performer not want that footage out there?

I mean throw us a bone Vinnie man. I want to know what's up - get me excited for some future project or something...

For sure. With the way things work these days some footage of Vinnie playing like a mofo again would zoom around the world in seconds and renew interest in him and his projects.

It defies logic and reason that you would not want to bolster your standing by showing what you can do.

Let's face it, people love the 80's, so if Vinnie is back there playing wise, this would be major news. Tours could be booked, recordings could be scheduled. The world would be Vinnie's oyster, or mollusc of choice.

Rip, where are you, can you tell us more?

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 12:10 pm

That paint on the carvin is awful to see. Why? Why ruin it.
So sad. Maybe vv is getting back at us by sabotaging his guitars

BengalWACO · Post by **BengalWACO** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:16 pm

So awesome you guys had a chance to see Vinnie and meet each other. I would be there in Nashville if I could afford it. Rock on.

tukoztukoz · Post by **tukoztukoz** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 11:18 pm

Maybe he needs time to practice and get back to his top level?

He did one unreleased song "Over You" on his Yamaha acoustic guitar. His voice was very good, I wished I Was close enough to actually see that notes he was picking, but he still played it in the same key the original version was played in. This was after the shredding he did as the intro when we came into the room. Thats what I wanted to add.

Post by **Genebaby** » Thu Dec 19, 2019 6:48 am

Over You, cool thanks for that.

Was high quality unreleased music played for everyone to hear?

The stuff that Rip said he got?

I do not remember any recordings being played. It seemed most people wanted more Q&A, I personally was looking for more live music... but from there a few people asked about the karaoke. The autograph line took a long time.. and I didn't event bring anything to have signed, I was looking for more live music. Vinnie still plays both electric and acoustic guitar very well.

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Dec 20, 2019 6:37 am

Ok, thanks for that.

aeroflott · Post by **aeroflott** » Mon Dec 23, 2019 6:54 am

Talking of Christmas, you can now celebrate the festive season by purchasing your very own guitar ornament signed by none other than Vinnie himself. These are the Christmas ornaments from the White Tree on the stage of the Merry Metal Christmas show. According to the VV Euphoria Group on Facebook, they are priced at $100 for the regular ones, and $200 for the ones with more detail.

I wish I was joking.

It's great to see Vinnie back and I really am a big fan of his work, but this kind of activity really does leave a sour taste in the mouth.
