Vicious Rumors

Vicious Rumors are an American power metal band, originally formed in 1979 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band was conceived by founder and guitarist/vocalist Geoff Thorpe and has been actively recording and touring worldwide since their full-length recording debut in 1985. Their first Atlantic release was the self-titled Vicious Rumors in 1990. The band subsequently began their first full US tour - which lasted for over three months and shot their first official video, “Don’t Wait for Me”, directed by Gore Verbinski. This tour was quickly placed in rotation on MTV’s Headbangers Ball.
