---
Vinnies first professional work in the music business which was writing and playing the music
for a national Pepsi TV commercial.
The commercial was broadcast many times during the "Live Aid" Concert.
and was the first American TV commercial to be aired on Russian TV.
Here´s an extract taken from Vinnie's website: "Right around this time, a production company in Los Angeles was looking for a guitarist to play in a Pepsi TV commercial which they were getting ready to film. They were having difficulty finding someone, so they bought a bunch of guitar mags and by luck happened to see me in the "Spotlight" column. Out of nowhere, I got a call one January evening, and was on a plane to Los Angeles from the East Coast the following morning. I was so young that I had never even been on an airplane before. This was totally surreal! I was initially supposed to "act" in the commercial, but the part was eventually given to someone else. Fortunately, they liked the tracks that I recorded and used my music/playing in the ad. Close-up shots of my hands playing the guitar were also used in the ad, and so I always used to joke that my hands were famous" |
