SUICIDE FAILURE
“I tried to kill myself, but it didn’t work” Donnie Vie unloads on his past and ex-bandmates
M2 Podxast — Former Enuff Z’Nuff singer Donnie Vie recently guested on the M2 Podcast. The acclaimed songwriter goes in dept about a ton of stuff from the past.
Vie starts off slow but says he is going through a “make over of the soul” in regards to his place in life.
The Chicago native says he’s working on a book and writing new songs and that he’s now “sober”.
The interview ramps up when he gets into the history of his former band, and Vie talks a lot about his long time former partner Chip Z’Nuff.
Vie doesn’t hold back and at some point even claims “I tried to kill myself, but it didn’t work.”
Episode 5 on the new Podcast features over an hour with the multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter extraordinaire, Donnie Vie.
This is a must listen for fans of Donnie Vie or Enuff Z’Nuff.

Enuff Z’Nuff classic line-up, Donnie Vie, Derek Frigo, Chip Z’Nuff & Vikki Fox
Donnie talks in dept about a ton of subjects including these tidbits (transcribed below) that we grabbed from his word association with M2 Podcast.
Thirsty Whale = Cocaine, party, cocaine, brown bag of money
John Lennon = Coolest, just the very coolest rock n’ roll singer, artist, that probably ever lived
Jani Lane = Misunderstood, I didn’t have a whole lot of respect for the Warrant hits, but when I got to know Jani…very cool dude, a lot of the same issues, misunderstood, he got exploited
Kip Winger = He’s always been very supportive of the band, he’s always shown me a lot of love and respect. He’s got some pipes, man he’s a great looking dude. He’s an artist, he’s one that I respect, wish I had more love for what he was doing, still a cheeseball, a little cock rocky in those days but that’s what was happening you know
Marc Torien = Man, you had to bring that up, didn’t ya? Whatever, you know what, I don’t give a shit what Marq Torien thinks about what I say. I thought Marq and I were friends. People say “That guy’s a jag-off”
Johnny Monaco = Hilarious little motherfucker. Hilarious, he’s a mini-me. He’s the Rich Little of rock, he can imitate anybody’s voice. Plus he’s a ugly little guy. But I love him.
