That's So Un-Punk
Punkmar77: It's really pretty sad you felt a need to chime in 10 year later continuing to make shit up and accusing people of lying as if you are the authority on something you literally no part in. If you weren't there you don't know what the truth is. You had nothing to do with the original band, and latched on the the notoriety of the band like leech 20+ years after the fact, essentially playing Diatribe cover songs. You should have just started your own band. You could have just as easily played Diatribe cover songs that way if you liked the music so much.— December 18, 2019 1:14 a.m.

Punkmar or should I say Minister of Disinformation: You had nothing to do with the original band so this is none of your business. Stop trying to piggyback onto something you had no involvement in creating.— June 23, 2010 11:24 p.m.

SidroponiX : The thing is you don't just start playing shows without at least running it by the original members and asking them if it's cool with them. Even if the answer is no, you at least ask before you do anything. That is a a basic courtesy and to not do so is Vinnie just saying "f-you I don't care what you think." Well if you tell me to f-off, guess how I am going to react? Then you don't sell the band's music to record labels without asking the people that wrote the songs and played on the recordings. We caught Vinnie doing it once and Sean and I both told him, don't do that again and don't do anything with the music we recorded unless you run it by us first. Then guess what? He sets up another f-ing record deal without telling us. You have to ask yourself, what the hell is wrong with this guy and who the hell does he think he is? When you have this kind of behavior by Vinnie what kind of reaction do you expect? We should thank him? He should be apologizing to us and then asking how we can work things out, not the other way around. As for there being a lot of Diatribe's, there's only one Diatribe that is advertising themselves as the San Diego punk band and that is playing my songs. That's the difference between this Diatribe and the others.— March 2, 2010 2:21 a.m.

SidroponiX: I understand you are a personal friend of Vinnie but you don't know the whole story of what has gone on. You only know what Vinnie tells you. Vinnie wrote none of the songs. All of Diatribe's music and lyrics were written by someone else. That means that any band he tries to start against the wishes of the original band members to play Diatribe's music is nothing more than a tribute/cover band. Vinnie has also done things like tried to sell Diatribe's music to two different records labels without contacting any of the original members who played on the recordings and who wrote the songs. Even Vinnie's friends know this isn't right. It's things like this that has done that have caused the backlash against Vinnie trying to start the band up again.— February 27, 2010 3:50 p.m.

Hey Seth and Jay: This whole situation is really out of control. There are so few people who care about this story so I really don't know why everyone is spending so much time and energy on it. Slow news month or something? :-) I mean really, feature stories in the CityBeat, play by play accounts in the Reader? Please give it a rest guys.— February 26, 2010 11:18 a.m.

Hey SidropiniX. You don't know the full story. If you want to know the full story email me. I sent you a private message with my email. We can even discuss this by phone if you want to know what is really going on. Better to talk to the source directly than get info secondhand.— February 26, 2010 11:15 a.m.
Aftermath 7"
The new Diatribe lineup is a scam. None of them wrote any of the songs and these people re-started the band without asking the original members! New FAKE lineup: Diana Death: Guitar (Electric)/ Cherry Pits: Bass guitar / Mar: Drums / Vinnie Fono: Vocals— February 8, 2010 1:10 a.m.
