It is hard to imagine how that works. I'm not sure if Eric kept that Porsche out of sentimental reasons, though it seems it wasn't running too good. How do you be in a band like KISS and not be able to afford what so many others can working regular type jobs? Maybe not millionaires, but you gotta b...

Wow. I wasn't exactly saying Bruce was great. In fact, I called him the Toyota Camry of guitarists. He's a known commodity. I'm purely talking about his live work. He did passable work on the live shows and showed up sans ego and drama. I thought his performance on the taped Animalize concert was pr...

Thanks

Just realized my post sounded kind of rude. It wasn't intended to be rude. I stand by what I said, but, I don't want to be a douchebag to members of the forum.

The Sunday slot on festival weekends is a horrible one to have, especially festivals like CF where there aren't any real "big" headliners. The attraction to those kinds of festivals is the festival itself and not any particular performer. Sure, people will show up for the acts they like, but none of...

Eddie Trunk is his own biggest fan. I don't know how he gets interviews anymore because he'll kiss butt when interviewing someone and then turn around and trash them the next week. Therefore, I don't give him a lot of credit, but I have to agree with the jist of what he said in this case. I don't th...

You folks sure know a lot about Vinnie. The whole foreclosure thing is odd to me. Didn't the two houses sell at different times? That was kind of odd to me. It must have been a deal where the older/smaller house was original with the property and then they financed the newer home??? Yeah, the dog de...

I would guess that, aside from some old stock of some of the higher end guitars, he's probably buying them as orders come in and just signing them and shipping them out. I doubt he's got enough pull to have any kind of exclusive deal with any distributor or manufacturer. I used to run a music store ...

Yeah, his pricing is insane. He can't be selling much.

Could we next see Vinnie play with the legendary Bobby Rock? Is Mark Slaughter also out of the question? Vinnie had a long hatred for Bruce because of the numerous lies Bruce made about him (guitars, Revenge etc) but he played with Bruce at CF. I think a great first step would be Bobby asking Vinni...

I don't think Vinnie has ever had a regular job and he would have been living off Diane for all those years, she did have money. In fact it was Diane and her father who were at Vinnie's NAMM display, not Vinnie, as they paid for for display and Tom Palecki paid for the guitars he built for Vinnie. ...

I don't expect he was making much residual money off of VVI. I've heard that his wife made decent money, although I don't know what she did. Do you think her passing and the end of any money she made is what caused him to come out of hibernation? For that matter, what is he doing for money now? Ther...

New member here. Not a huge Vinnie fan, but rather more interested in R&R history. Thanks for the forum.
