Original VICIOUS RUMORS Bassist DAVE STARR Celebrates 30th Anniversary Of Digital Dictator Album By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, April 5, 2018 @ 2:04 PM
The first album with this lineup, Digital Dictator, was recorded the summer of 1987, and released on Shrapnel records April of 1988. The record became an instant classic worldwide, and the band played tour dates in the USA, Mexico, Canada and Europe. The record is still in print and selling strong - 30 years after its release!
Dave says: "Digital Dictator is generally regarded by VR fans as the band’s best album. Everything clicked - we all contributed to the songwriting, and the amazing chemistry the 5 of us had just came through with incredible results."
Shrapnel Records President Mike Varney recently said, "VICIOUS RUMORS was one of the early bands that I signed to Shrapnel. Among many other distinctions, VR were a live band and not a studio project. Digital Dictator has become a metal classic and, among other things, introduced amazing vocalist Carl Albert to the world. It's hard to believe that 30 years has passed but the quality of the performances has stood the test of time."
This FB page will feature pics and stories from the classic Digital Dictator era, and more importantly, Dave has finally unleashed never before seen videos he had filmed of the band! These videos have sat in boxes for over 30 years, until Dave started to transfer them to digital format this year. LIVE shows, backstage, in the studio, hanging out, etc. - a literal treasure trove of VR videos that are finally seeing the light of day!! The first 4 segments are up now for all the fans to see for the first time ever, with lots more videos to come. Check them out below!
