Thorpe formed VICIOUS RUMORS in 1979. He told The Press Democrat in a 2023 interview that there have been more than 40 different members in the band since its inception.
“One good thing about all of the members is that we have a very good relationship with almost all of them,” Thorpe said. “When I need someone to fill in, I’ve got a lot of people I can call on.”
