Vain formed in San Francisco by Davy Vain (vocals), Danny West and Dylana Nova Scott (guitars), Ashley Mitchell (bass) and Tommy Rickard (drums). The band began to create a buzz in California, as they released a couple demos in hopes for a major label deal. Davy Vain would also moonlight as a producer for such up and coming Bay Area thrashers as Death Angel. Even though they were losing money, the band refused to locate to Los Angeles, and finally got a deal with Island records. The debut album was an absolute sleaze masterpiece, and the band had minor success in the U.K. where they had a successful tour with Skid Row.
The follow-up album never got a chance, as Island shelved the album after a few cassette promos were released in a management/ownership change, and the band was promptly dropped, killing any momentum they had. In late 1991 both West (who joined the band Shine) and Rickard (who would later form Loaded) left the band. Guitarist Shawn Rorie and ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler were recruited and the band changed their name to Roadcrew. This band quickly fell apart after releasing a demo as Adler's drug problem scared away the record companies, and the band went their separate ways.
In 1993 Vain was resurrected with West back on guitar, and new drummer Danny Fury. Move On It was only released in Japan and included some of the Roadcrew songs. Band members would come and go following this release, including drummer Louie Senor. For a short time the band name was changed to Dragonfly. West released a Japanese only solo album, and Davy Vain's solo attempt appeared in 2000 (including Scott, Mitchell and Senor). In 2005 the majority of the classic line-up (with Senor on drums) reformed for another album that once again got rave reviews but went largely unnoticed. Vain was another great band that was killed due to lack of label support.

Vain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the boy knows is guitar and acting cool
You know they're trying to be cool
Hanging on the teens everybody knows
Everybody says but you never never go
You just leave it alone just leave it alone
You know I'm tired of being a small town boy
(chorus)
I've a feeling that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I've a feeling that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
Shoot it I want you to shoot it
Pull my trigger let the rocks fly
Everybody knows that you've got to do it or die
So I gave it a try
Vanity kills along with the road
Come on baby help mr loosen my load
You know I'm tired of being a small town boy
I wanna go where there's lights and make some noise
(chorus)
Then shoot it I want you to shoot it
Shoot it I want you to shoot it
Let's shoot it boys
(chorus repeat out)
