Says Vinnie: “This is one of my funkier and playful songs. Making this video was some of the most fun ever. Scott Johnson from Rock Titan TV filmed and put this video together for me. Our goal for this was to be as cheesy and funny as possible. I showed my absolute mastery of nun chucks, swords, and kicks in this vid. Hahaha.”
The follow-up to Vinnie‘s critically acclaimed 2015 “Aerial Visions” album was released at the end of 2019 on his label Mind’s Eye Music. Vinnie‘s ninth solo album features guest appearances by legendary artists Rudy Sarzo and Jordan Rudess, with Richie Monica on drums, Michael Bean (bassist from Vinnie‘s “Time Odyssey” album), Randy McStine on bass, John Cassidy (keyboards) and John Pessoni (drums).

His solo and UFO recordings as well as live performances have amassed rave reviews all around the globe from both fans and music press, catapulting him into guitar icon distinction.
