DUDE! Vinnie Vincent Invasion fucking rocks. I love that band. I didn't think anyone on this forum would care for them. I got into them because of the song "Loves Kills". It is like my favorite ballad ever. Getting the "VVI" and "All Systems Go" albums were a pain in the ass but I was able to track them down off of Amazon.com of all places last year. Great great band.

Ratt is another great one. "Wanted Man" is one of my favorite songs ever. Also another great and underated Ratt song is "Nobody Rides For Free".

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

"Nobody Rides For Free" is awesome! I love that song! Ratt were by far one of the best bands to come out of LA but don't get enough credit I reckon.

And Vinnie Vincent Invasion.... phwoar!!! Good to see another fan!

Dark Angel
