I would be Happy merely seeing Vinnie play some Acoustic and talking about his Time in Dan Hartman, Treasure & The Warrior Demo's.... agree. To clarify, when I said he cannot shred his older solos, I mean that he cannot, but acknowledge with some practice he could get that back. I just do not think...

drmoorejr

I can't believe he is going down the route of spending all his time on social media booting people again.. It's clear he has no intention of re learning guitar or making any new music. He can play the guitar just fine.. He just cannot shredd his old solos. He simply doesn't care about playing music...

Or the IRS will find that he probably never paid taxes on all the money he collects. Everything is paid via PayPal and marked as "gift".. originally via a Stephen Wilkie paypal account (used to anyway).

I've spoken to Steve Wilkie in the Past, he's really a Good Guy....I know he did a lot for Vinnie and hopefully will continue to do things for Him, I really can't see "Them" having a Falling Out but I guess anything is Possible ! considering Vinnie (at least used to) keep his shit in Stephen's gara...

Ace is releasing real videos of new songs, with an album shortly. He's doing it all while Vinnie posts stupid things on Facebook. Vinnie might not like to see someone post that, but it is the reality. It's up to him to change the narrative. I hard a story once where a bull that was laying in a past...

I agree. Ace at least gets out and plays concerts. Vinnie is just posting on Facebook.

a wonderful hit on MTV. Great song. That song & video blow away the cheesy "Dream Warriors" from Dokken. Just think if Chrysalis had not screwed things up so much. ASG is vastly superior to "Stick It To Ya". Although it helped that new management came in prior to its release I liked 'Dream Warriors...

VINNIE VINCENT SIMMONS And I feel sad that he didn’t understand the gift and the opportunity he was given. THIS The meaning of this same simple sentence has haunted Vinnie his entire career. Not only the gift of opportunity from KISS and others but the natural born gift of musical talent he has. Th...

Yes as the producer of Creatures said, Vinnie was a melodic player and they had to get him to play heavier. There was guitar on that tracK???? That VV site is pretty old and still incorrectly states that Bob Kulick played on Creatures. One thing is clear in the discography section is that Vinnie di...

Another song form a Nightmare On Elm Street soundtrack, Love Kills by the band Vinnie Vincent Invasion continues where Dokken left off with Dream Warriors. Mark Slaughter delivers an outstanding vocal performance and we learned that Alexis really, really likes Mark now. #vinnievincent https://www.y...

Vinnie had gigs before KISS. Being in KISS made people aware of him, but without KISS he would have still done something, well at least until he decided to take a nose dive as he did. Vinnie had and I believe still has talent, its his own doing and lack of motivation to work for anything now days i...

Doublev2 I agree with everything you are saying, now he wants an avatar hahaha. Not sure insulting Kiss & their fans is the way to get one ! Ooooops KISS doesn't think about hi m at all. No they are not pissed by a 50 cents millionaire & certainly don't want his fountain of youth hahaha Vinnie had ...

What's George Lynch like to meet? Watching interviews with him on YouTube, he doesn't strike me as a gregarious people person at all. I think you have to manage your expectations when meeting a "hero" of yours. We put these guys on pedestals because they played the music of our youth, but in realit...

It does seem that the steam of these pricey events is running out. The guy who had the white/gold VVV I think it was spoke about one of the last ones, he was being pressured to go due to low ticket sales. It makes sense though. They are always the same basic thing, hanging with Vinnie for lots of $...

drmoorejr

Agree with eveything. I saw the event was pushed to Feb, somewhere in another thread....does that include the release ? Were the 2 tied together? Most likely the event got pushed because no one paid to go... I know A LOT of people in the groups, none of them were going... They (Vinnie and himself o...

I thought we were told October, back when the newest listening party was being held. I'm not holding my breath for anything this year, but miracles could happen. It doesn't matter anymore. Vinnie was a great musician, great song writer.. back when he cared. He doesn't care anymore. He is too busy t...

drmoorejr

A few thoughts. On the new music, we shall see, we've been waiting and waiting already and it sounds like it won't be out before October!! The list of bands at the event looks less than amazing. If I was actually going I'd be annoyed that they were all there playing. I have zero interest in seeing ...

really cool! Thanks for posting.

drmoorejr

It's annoying but most people only pay attention to solos, but rhythm is EVERYTHING!!!!! A song is ruined if the rhythm is not right... I watched my old videos of trying to play Vinnie songs, I was playing like shit. I had to slow them down and count out the measures, and practice until I got them ...

It wasn't like the first Vinnie Nashville event where he signed 10 or more items (for no extra cost). This is true actually. I wasn't charged for all the autographs I got. But soon after the prices went up... If Vinnie would sign one or two non-instrutment items for free and not over charge for ins...

... how he wore his guitar way up high. He talks in this interview about why he did that, to have better dexterity, but that's not the kind of band KISS ever was. I never understood why some worry about how another holds his guitar... The music that comes from the instrument matters more than the i...

Probably more relevant now than in a long while. Especially since KISS had to release the deluxe Vinnie album that helped save them. Can you imagine how much pride Gene and Paul swallowed to release the deluxe COTN box set with pictures of Vinnie and his live playing all over it? It is a shame they...

by the way a guy named Jens Larsen showed a really cool arpeggio exercise that you can do playing all the 7th chords in each key all in one position, I am going to started learning and practicing it.

That is so strange, that you guys both think the album version of Exciter solo sounds pretty much the same as what Vinnie did in the demo. They are very different to me, and I just went and checked. The demo version sounds like that, a demo version and the solo… I haven’t listened to it in years, s...

Vinnie wasn't a member of the band at that time. And they were auditioning over hundreds of guitar players. Totally different situation. Who played the majority of the solos on COTN? I might have expected someone to bring up "Exciter", but that was a case of them having Derringer copy what Vinnie h...

One doesn't know how much to believe from Mark and how much he is bullshitting. His stories change alot depending. He's alot like Robert Fleishman in that respect. Also, he thinks way too much of himself (like Robert). I do think he and Bruce never should have been in the band. Neither had what it ...

I got one (original CD) with Vinnie autograph on it. No plans on selling... but I am wondering when I got it since it was the only one sitting on the table if it was the last one. I took it out of the plastic wrap and Vinnie signed it right away.

I was (for years) led to believe that Mark St. John was a gimmick guitarist... Paul used to say that Mark Couldn't play the same thing twice. Well now that I have been educated I find that Paul is flinging mud and doesn't even know what he is saying. Mark St. John was an improviser, and he could sol...

drmoorejr

Sorry, I have to disagree. I went through the whole thread to find that at the end, and it's about the fake profiles used by Vinnie and his associates, which was looked at more in depth near the start. The level of dodgy crap is astounding. I'm not sure why DRM got his knickers so "Twisted" as the ...

Yeah I do remember seeing this video now. Very cool.

Of all the replies form Luxor, why silence on this thread?

drmoorejr

Couldn't load the video, but I see that there was an issue. Vinnie was the real deal back then, too bad he couldn't just get back to the basics and just do what really matters and play the songs!

drmoorejr

I'd not heard of him before, that I remembered, but good to see he's still out there and doing it after all these years. Vinnie really did try and make things happen before, getting to Hollywood eventually and then into KISS, which was the springboard to VVI. Even without KISS he would have been in...

drmoorejr

What I like about watching the Ace shows is the same thing I like about watching any rough live act - there's an element of surprise, possibility of a sudden mood swing, a charming screwup, something to tickle the nerves. I see Vinnie maybe doing a show with Compressorhead. Those guys don't need pa...

EVERYONE is out there doing it, except Vinnie. He won't use YouTube as he won't get paid like he wants to be for what he's doing. He doesn't see the value in it clearly,

He SHOULD use YouTube, but try and tell him that.

Well said.

I was just watching some video of Ace and his band playing some KISS/Comet songs. The vocal performance from Ace wasn't great but the videos were enjoyable because they were playing songs... Now just imagine if Vinnie had a full band, and performed with a band and maybe a few different vocalists and...

Personally, I'd rather hear Carrie Underwood do Vinnie material. She's a rocker at heart. She's playing with Guns and Roses. She was on the Nashville Motley Crue tribute album. Does Joan Jett stuff.

I will go further to say, have Kelly Clarkson sing it... She has a great voice. See Vinnie as smart as he is, is so short sighted that he is sabotaging every opportunity he gets,

I'm sorry you don't think songs like "Genesis", "Nuke It", "Get The Led Out" and others are "something of worth". ..because there are FAR better songs from Vinnie, like "Over You" and "Gypsy In Her Eyes"... and a country song called "Born A Country Girl" that I haven't had the chance to hear....
