134.1should be an interesting albumCHEFS::DALLISONWith your G-string tuned to ASun Dec 17 1989 12:579
    
    I read somewhere that they were supposed to be doing some gigs and
    they were billed by one venue as :-
                            
    "The River Dogs, featuring ex-Whitesnake guitarist Vivian Campbell".
                            
    Anyways, the band went skit and refused to do the show. I guess
    they want to be booked on the bands own merits, rather than ride
    on Viv's back (and quite right too methinks).

    How are these guys?  I see Vivian Campbell all over the guitar mags but
    I've never heard him play.

    	Viv Campbell played with Dio a few years ago on at least
    	"The Last In Line", and maybe "Holy Diver".

    The Dio albums Vivian played on are :-
    
    Holy Diver
    Last In Line
    Sacred Heart
    
    He was also bought in to replace John Sykes with Whitesnake, but he
    didn't get to record with them, he just toured.
    
    Vivian also worked with a band called Trinity, just ater he left
    Whitesnake and I believe he recorded one album with them (I think).
    
    Talking of Dio, did y'all know that the first guitarist to join Dio
    BEFORE Vivan Campbell was none other than Jake E Lee ?

    Correction...Jake never "joined" Dio...Jake was helping Ronnie out for
    a while with auditions (looking for drummers), but he never was actually 
    IN the band.

    Sorry Buck, I met Ronnie a month or so back and he told me that Jake
    did actually join Dio for a short period. 
    
    Just relaying what I heard from the little guy himself.
