Введение
Vain — американская глэм-метал группа из района залива Сан-Франциско, Калифорния, образованная в 1986 году. По состоянию на 2018 год в состав группы входят Дэви Вейн (ведущий вокал), Джоэл Прото (гитара), Эшли Митчелл (бас) и Томми Рикард (барабаны). После записи демо-записи Дэви Вейн основал группу Vain в 1986 году, пригласив в состав Дайлану Нову Скотт, Дэнни Уэста, Эшли Митчелл и барабанщика Тома Рикарда. В 1988 году они подписали контракт с Island Records и в следующем году выпустили свой дебютный альбом под названием No Respect, который достиг 154-й позиции в чарте Billboard 200. Хотя они записали второй альбом, Island Records расторгла контракт с Vain в 1991 году, после чего Уэст и Рикард покинули группу в том же году. После присоединения Шона Рори и бывшего барабанщика Guns N' Roses Стивена Адлера, Vain сменили название на Road Crew. Однако они также распались в 1991 году. Группа воссоединилась в 1993 году и претерпела несколько изменений в составе к выпуску следующих двух студийных альбомов. К 2005 году Скотт и Уэст вернулись в группу, а Рикард присоединился к ним вновь в 2009 году. На сегодняшний день Vain выпустили семь студийных альбомов: No Respect (1989); All Those Strangers (1991); Move On It (1993); Fade (1995); On The Line (2005); Enough Rope (2011) и Rolling With The Punches (2017).

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.

Following the addition of both Shawn Rorie and former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler, Vain renamed themselves Road Crew. However, they also disbanded in 1991. The band 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. To date, Vain have released seven studio albums; No Respect (1989); All Those Strangers (1991); Move On It (1993); Fade (1995); On The Line (2005); Enough Rope (2011), and Rolling With The Punches (2017).
Формирование и неуважение (19861990)
Дэви Вайн начал свою карьеру в качестве продюсера, спродюсировав дебютный альбом Death Angel – The Ultra Violence, а затем в 1986 году записал демо с гитаристом Metallica Кирком Хэмметтом. После записи Вайн решил создать группу в районе залива Сан-Франциско, где они также выступали на разогреве у Guns N' Roses до их известности.
Recorded with producer Paul Northfield, Vain released their debut album entitled No Respect in 1989. The album peaked at number 154 on the Billboard 200. Critically, the album was also well received, with Vain featured on the covers of both Kerrang! and BAM. In support of the album, Vain toured the US while they also supported Skid Row on their tour of the UK in November 1989. Vain were dropped by the label in 1991, with All Those Strangers remaining unreleased. the name of one of Adler's previous bands that featured both Slash and Duff McKagan. They recorded a new album and gained record label attention. The same year, Scott returned to the band and contributed to the solo album. Vain re released their debut album No Respect, through Gott Discs in 2005, with West rejoining the band. Kerrang! writer Steve Beebee reviewed their show at Rock City in Nottingham, stating that "even though their set list includes a mere four songs from that Holy Grail of debuts [No Respect]," it was a gig that "leave[s] you genuinely amazed, and more than anything, angry that a trend fixed music industry could possibly have suppressed this awesome band for 15 years." Vain then recorded a new album entitled On the Line in Davy's recording studio, The Groove Room, which was released on August 23 of the same year through Perris Records. Reviewing the album for Blogcritics, Chris Akin stated that "Vain seem to have stepped back into the time machine and created an album that falls somewhere between No Respect and Fade" and that "one of the best unknown bands of the era comes back with a cool reunion album here." Vain toured again in 2006 while in 2008, they performed at Rocklahoma and the four day Rock the Bayou festival from August 29 – September 1.

Они записали новый альбом и привлекли внимание звукозаписывающих компаний. В том же году Скотт вернулся в группу и принял участие в записи сольного альбома. В 2005 году Vain переиздали свой дебютный альбом No Respect через Gott Discs, и к группе вновь присоединился Уэст. Журналист Kerrang! Стив Биби, комментируя их выступление в Rock City в Ноттингеме, отметил, что "даже несмотря на то, что в сет-листе всего четыре песни с этого Святого Грааля дебютов [No Respect]", концерт "действительно поражает и вызывает, прежде всего, гнев от того, что индустрия, задающая тренды, могла подавить эту потрясающую группу на 15 лет".

Затем Vain записали новый альбом под названием On the Line в студии Дэви, The Groove Room, который вышел 23 августа того же года на лейбле Perris Records. Крис Акин в своей рецензии для Blogcritics написал, что "Vain, кажется, вернулись в машине времени и создали альбом, который находится где-то между No Respect и Fade", и что "одна из лучших неизвестных групп эпохи возвращается с отличным альбомом воссоединения". В 2006 году Vain снова отправились в турне, а в 2008 году выступили на фестивале Rocklahoma и четырехдневном фестивале Rock the Bayou с 29 августа по 1 сентября.
