BUT I KEEP COMING
BACK FOR MORE
WELL I LIKE ABUSE
DON'T SHUT THE DOOR
WE ALWAYS WANT
WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE
Vain
is an
American
Glam Metal band
from
San Francisco Bay Area,
California,
formed in 1986.
As of 2018,
the lineup consists of
Davy Vain
(lead vocals),
Joel Proto
(guitar),
Ashley Mitchell
(bass)
and
Tommy Rickard
(drums).
After recording a demo,
Davy Vain
founded Vain
in 1986,
adding
Dylana Nova Scott,
Danny West,
Ashley Mitchell
and
drummer
Tom Rickard
to the lineup.
They signed with
Island Records in 1988,
before releasing
their debut album
the following year,
titled
No Respect,
which peaked at
number 154
on the
Billboard 200.
Though they recorded
a second album,
Vain
were released by
Island in 1991.
That same year
ex Guns N' Roses
drummer
Steven Adler
asked Davy
to join him in
forming
Road Crew.
Davy agreed to join
Road Crew with
Dylana Nova Scott
joining him.
They would add
guitarist
Shawn Rorie
and eventually
bassist
Ashley Mitchel
to finalize
the bands line up.
This put Vain
on hiatus
and left
Tommy Rickard
and
Danny West
to continue their
musical journeys
elsewhere.
Road Crew
however also
disbanded in 1991
due to Adler's
drug abuse.
Vain
then reformed in 1993
and went through
a number of
lineup changes
for the release
of their next
two studio albums.
By 2005,
Scott and West
had returned
to the band,
while Rickard
would rejoin them
in 2009
and share
drumming duties
with
Louie Senor.
To date,
Vain
have released
eight studio albums;
No Respect
(1989);
All Those Strangers
(1991);
Move On It
(1993);
Fade
(1995);
On The Line
(2005);
Enough Rope
(2011);
Rolling With The Punches
(2017),
and
'Disintegrate Together'
