Mistakes are part of the game. It’s how well you recover from them, that’s the mark of a great player.
‘Here Alice, smoke this. You’ll like it!’ That was Jimi Hendrix and it wasn’t a good idea!
Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.
The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.
I’m still Vince to my mum. She lives with us and she says ‘Hey superstar, take out the garbage! I didn’t become a star to her until I brought home a picture of me with Frank Sinatra. She said then ‘OK, now you’re something’

What most people don’t understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That’s why they’re always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico.

Slade was the coolest band in England. They were the kind of guys that would push your car out of a ditch.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
