The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Carlo

I had to stop the coffee. Was a total coffee junkie. I'd drink a 8 cupper cafeteria/percolator in one hit. Sometimes twice a day. Was totally fuck'en with me. Head spins, dizziness. Feel a lot better after stopping it. I do admit, I have one a week. But that is my limit. Once a junkie always a junk...

Carlo

I think it's ok and pretty good, but not anything special. In my opinion Vinnie is more creative. I did used to have this concert on VHS videotape and I remember watching it so many times as the show is really good. I think it was recorded in Detroit. One time my brother brought the tape to a party ...

Hey, grazie !! I never saw that interview. It was quite revealing to a point. It's obvious that Bruce is protecting himself as his answers seemed short, evasive, and diplomatic. I'm sure he's a nice guy but it's evident that he does not want to piss off either side. Thanks

Happy Easter to everybody on the forum !!

BUONA PASQUA !

We've discussed a lot about VV's relationship with Kiss during the CREATURES and LIU albums. I was wondering how they collaborated on REVENGE? Who came forward to start this collaboration and why was it limited to just wrtiting a few songs on the album? Did VV, Paul & Gene reconcile for a while in 1...

Carlo

We had an Italian-Australian on the Big Brother (Grande Fratello) reality show in Italy a few years ago. He also lived in Sydney and was Napoletano origin. Io credo che VV e' di origine napoletana, Cusano e' un cognome campano. Ti auguro una Buona Pasqua a te e famiglia !!

Ciao amico. Mi piacciono i colori dell'Italia nel tuo post. Very nice

CRISCUOLA

CUSANO

Saluti dall' Italia

Carlo

Very interesting. As I have said the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Each side has their version. I'd just like to make a proposal. Can't Vinnie, Paul, and Gene just put their differences aside and make amends for the sake of the music?? Is it possible for them to hook up and make at least one o...

Carlo

AC/DC was my favorite rock band for many years when I started to listen to rock at 14 years. My first two rock albums I ever listened to were HIGHWAY TO HELL nad BACK IN BLACK. I just thought the songs were so cool and that got me started. I saw them twice in concert and remember that my ears rang f...

Carlo

Yes, REVENGE was good. I remember that I stopped listening to KISS after Asylum because I didn't like their music anymore. Asylum was too commercial even though I did see them in concert on the Asylum tour in 1985. It was a great show, however, I didn't listen to any of their new albums until Reveng...

Carlo

Well, it's obvious why Eric Caravello and Vinnie Cusano got along.......they're paisans ("paesani") ! They were the only Italian-Americans in the group while Paul and Gene I think are Jewish. Actually Peter Criscuola was also a paesano.

Carlo · Re: Brooklyn, L'Amours 12-11-86,"White Christmas" Are you from Brooklyn ?

Are you from Brooklyn ?

Carlo

Hey I once saw an MTV heavy metal special in late 1986 or early 1987 and it had interviews with local Brooklynites hanging out at the L'Amour. Most of the interviewees looked Italian. I think Vito Bratta was from Brooklyn, too, if I am not mistaken.

Carlo

Yes, Paul seems to be provocative and a little angry, unusual.

Carlo

Taranto, about 2 hours away, the highway stops at bari so there are small windy state and provincial roads. Unfortunately, I won't be there next week. I should be there in the july timeframe. Are you guys coming down for Pasqua? (Easter holiday) DoubleV, are your grandparents from bari ?

Carlo

That's one thing I miss about Germany.....going to the Toom and buying cases of brew. I always had a nice cold one in the fridge waiting for me....

Carlo

Ciao ! i found this interview. Interesting:

Small world, eh?

Yes, I saw Shramiac's map, you guys are near the airport. We'll knock one day and have a party at your place listening to good music....

Carlo

Poserboy or anybody else who may know, I have two questions:

1) Exactly which songs did Vinnie write or co-write on the CREATURES album?

2) Did Vinnie write/co-write all the songs on LICK IT UP ?

Lemme get this straight....so Vinnie co-wrote this song along with Paul Stanley ?

Carlo

Not really, Iceman, more on the other side near Venezia. Do you live in Switzerland? Wolf, Nein sprechen klein Deutsche. Sorry that was years ago and I mostly spoke English and Italian when I was there. I worked for a news publication and we mostly spoke English even though there were German colleag...

Carlo

I just read on Marco's Facebook page that Vinnie was fired by Paul and Gene right after CREATURES, however, they could not find a guitarist good enough to replace him so they let him back into the band and recorded LICK IT UP. But the tensions continued so after the LICK IT UP TOUR in 1984 they kick...

Carlo

Hey, that's Paulie singing !! Is that Vinnie on guitar ? Awesome version ! First time I heard it. Thanks

The Egyptian looks great in the photo. He is da man

Carlo

I love the song "NOT FOR THE INNOCENT". Today I kept playing it over and over during my lunch break.....Buon Appettito

Carlo

1) CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
2) KISS
3) LICK IT UP

Carlo

I ran into this page on Facebook asking for justice for Vinnie :

I'm sure you've seen them in concert. If I remember correctly some of their concert videos on their video collections were shot in Australia.

Carlo

I wonder if Vinnie reads this forum. I hope so. He has a lot of fans out there

Carlo

Bella collezione nice collection !

Carlo

You're right. Don't get me wrong. Vinnie is my favorite, of course. Just wish that I could meet someone. My brother had also met Rob Zombie of White Zombie backstage. I see that you have met many musicians yourself. That must be really exciting !

Carlo

Just an anecdote here. Don't if this is the right place to post here on the forum. Anyway, my two brothers once did meet Paul Stanley quite by accident back in 1993. They were at JFK airport in New York just casually waiting for a flight back to Italy and who the hell do they see? PAUL ! My brother ...

It's difficult to come up with such a list as it is subjective, but I would like to honorably mention John Frusciante and Jimi Hendrix

Carlo

Ciao, My origins are in Puglia, Wolfgang, but currently live in North Italy, so we're paesani as Calabria and Puglia are close to each other. Where do you live in Germany exactly? I lived there for three years, near Darmstadt. Da quanti anni sei in Germania? Abbiamo una pizzeria calabrese qua dove a...

Carlo

Thanks for the welcome, guys ! Actually I did have some red wine earlier tonight at dinner.....Cabernet Sauvignon (13%). Molto buono ! It's 11:33 pm here so I am about to go to bed. Talk to youse later.....Ciao amici

p.s. I do hope to get the new Vinnie dvd soon

Carlo

Hey, I just found this great site dedicated to my favorite KISS member Vincent Cusano aka Vinnie Vincent ! I saw him in concert only once way back in the day in 1986 when VVI opened for Iron Maiden. It was a great show and I bought the $17 VVI t-shirt after the show which I treasured. I love Vinnie ...
