The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Possio

I finally cracked it..zapping round the TV channels this easter holiday, heard this in the background in one of the Bible-movies showing. "Epilogue" is the one part with the most borrowed thenes/lines. So, "Genesis" is not an original composition, it is a reworked version of: Miklós Rózsa - King of ...

D. Cusano was born in 1966 ? is at that correct? or some other namesake who passed away?
strange, why would anybody make up a "semi" famous ex-musicians wifes supposed death ?...

Possio

So, how easy is it to fake, or just type in a death on "obituaries" .com or summat. just like that ?

Possio

because it's fun! Who the hell knows...

Possio

Question: is it just me or, isnt that page run by the VV himself? (or somebody who used to be VV...)
looks like it to me../O

Possio

ashes to ashes solo is a "2 5 1 jazz progression" / ii-V-I turnaround, very common, songs like "Misty" bla bla bla all have it... I love that solo, I don´t think Ive ever heard that kinda thing in a Heavy Hard Rock song before or since.? Zep used some cool "jazzier"progressions in songs like Ten Yea...

Possio

"You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear!
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo !!"
That song way mega-huge here in Sweden when it first came out,
and still quite popular today. I think they used it for "Swe-idol" a few years ago..

Possio

teej! I just played an Ibanez PS10 (1995 version) the one with sparkle finish. at the Stockholm Vintage guitar fair and expo this weekend. Not a bad guitar. it is for sale by a Danish Dealer. ca 1700-1800 UK Pounds I think. Heres a Link. and Ill post a pic I took of it if you like. http://www.woodst...

Possio

yup, can be very tricky to get somebody elses liver to get comfortable in another body. I havent read up on Reeds case here yet, but thats usually the case. Reed is/was somewhat of a hero of mine, not musically so much but as in attitude and wit. (not a great singer, as we all know..) Having lived i...

Possio

sometimes it is really difficult to go back...

Possio

Funny thing is, those old songs from Treasure are
much more in the mature style than what came later, albeit,
A bit "puppy love" if you catch my drift..

Possio

Maybe he should have Co written more?, meaning, bringing in somebody else (famous or not)
to collaborate with who might have had some other "fresh ideas"? or, the finger
on the pulse so to speak...naturally, that implies giving someone else the benefit of the doubt.

Possio

this just does not work for me anymore...The vocals, gotta be 100´s of cover-band
dudes who can pull off the songs with more (dare I use yiddish) chutzpah and ferociousness.
Let me quote Stanley from the 80´s here: "a rotten group is a rotten group with all the effects in the world"..well.

Possio

What was "guitarman"? Across the street from "we buy guitars" was "48th street custom" is all I can remember, and legendary "Mannys", naturally.. 48 st cusom was an ESP dealer/builder, they did alot of Kiss-Bruces guitars and had a nice set of Vintage stuff too. IT S ALL "Sam Trash" now...for better...

Possio

which one of the shows? an old clip from the 80ies or a comment from V filmed in latter years?

Possio

Cool find, did not know such a midi-controller was availible back when, so, If this device was
around in 1987-88 they most definately had it running in the live rig. (like most acts)

Possio

what kind of goods are imported and sold? (china I suppose, like everything else these days..?)

Possio

yeah, but what if he simply dont want to get in front of a crowd ever again? Period..regardless
of money...To me, it appears Vinnie has simply decided to live in seclusion, and nothing will change the guys mind. and, fair enough...

Possio

this player might have had an influence on Vinnie, dont you think?...
1974-Allan Holds...

Possio

Im my opinion, that tab of "Fits" is wrong in a bunch of places, especially the ascending climb at the end. I sat down with the "Amazing Slow Downer" a few years ago and sort of figured it out, the guy on the U-Tube link in the KissFaq thread does it more or less correct. exactly the same notes and ...

Possio

Sam was cute, Nice Rolex by the way! I´d say 1986.

Possio

I think I could turn her back around...given the chance..see, THAT´S confidence, hehe!

Possio

mid eighties..

Possio

what the hell is this?

Possio

Really cool, great attention to all the little details and nuances in the music! is it just me or could this song have fit on Kiss´s Revenge in 92? , albeit with a more Kiss oriented production and granted, Gene or Paul on vocals? When you here the song like this in a rawer form it kinda reminds me ...

Possio

Thanks, I think like most people theres mood-swings and ups and downs in general, V´s being more extreme I guess?... there were probably times were he actually was enjoying it, and other times, not so much. I know I would have. It was at least a great spring-board to get ones name out there (and you...

Possio

sorry bout the wrong order of the pages.../Olle

Possio

Possio

looks mid nineties?

Possio

Yes, GeneB, I remember I also had a cassette of said stereo recording of that show but it had a much fatter
sound to it "more reverb" (production) than what appeared in the actual VHS.?
Was that show I had on tape a Radio/MTV? Broadcast perhaps? Anybody in Kiss-land who knows?

Possio

bolt on neck, not much...are you thinking of buying? I´d save the money for something
more similar to the real thing,(there are japan made "neck thru" also) OR, the real thing.
my opinion anyway

Possio

Brainsaw: Do you have any ideas as to how much it would cost Vinnie to finish up (perhaps remaster?) not necessarily re-mix, those old G-Magg tapes?
Itunes in "high def"!, that would work (I think), they do have such a thing now I hear. Donald Fagen´s last album supposed to sound great on it./

Possio

Yes G-Baby, I dunno what happened to me either ha!..? must be the new brand freshly ground coffee I had this morning...potent stuff. haha.. Poison were really big. you are correct. Like that ballad "every dog has its day" (sic) and stuff.. As a fan of VVI back in 86-87 too bad they never made it ove...

Possio

Yup, what Im saying is, from a "let get rich now" type career move, perhaps Stockholm, Sweden is not going to change much, But, there are lotsa good musicians around who really still are into Metal/Progressive Hard rock who would be willing to help out (cheap) or for free, to get some of Vs music on...

Possio

Well, I dunno, I obviously dont know V personally...I know some people here in Stockholm who took care of Vinnie at some time here back in the day. (mid 1990s) Funnily, He was cool with them then, no "horror stories" like the stuff one might have heard in internet world. But who knows ? Im just sayi...

Possio

Yeah, V should have relocated to Sweden, would probably been a decent career move.
But tough with family still in the states etc...I speak from experience...

Possio

what is interesting is that we had a Swedish Pressing of the VVI album here first, done by whoever handled Chrysalis back then?, the actual album-cover was actually nicer in Swe version, stronger colors and more glossy. Then a few years later I started seeing the US version as cut-outs at some bagai...

Possio

What I can add to this discussion is that quite a few returns of these 2 albums, mostly the first VVI, ended up here in Europe as "cut outs".. not that it makes the album any less important to me, but it is not a "commercial" album by most peoples standard.. It is way too over the top, which is the ...

Possio

I guess V still had (some) hair, just not big and thick enough for a glam-metal band in the eighties. I remember the times, I had hair, but too fine a strands to grow that "Mega-Mane" you had to have too be cool enough to fit into the mold back then...and be marketable,...very important...just my 2 ...

Possio

That is one peculiar way of holding the pick! haha! Works for Vinnie obviously!

Possio

Duncan "Custom" and "Custom-Custom" I would say fall within the PAF´s category. Duncan JB and Distortion are hotter pickups with somewhat less definition, less of a "PAF".. in my opinion anyway... Who knows what was used...Duncan 59 is too weak for hard rock, better for blues. Ive had them all. haha...

Possio

One reflection on this: I always wanted hair like Derringers but instead ended up with what
Hartman sports here instead...haha!

Possio

wow, my first rock concert ever was this tour in Stockholm, Nov 1983.
Young and very impressionable.. haha, cool stuff.

Possio

teej, Ollie here! did you sell the Origional series Jackson VVV in pic or you still have it?

Possio

sorry, just found a pic, Cusano´s using an old Marshall head and cab.

Possio

I´d like to know (if Jack can remember?) what amp Vinnie Cusano played at those few gigs at the Bottom line?

Possio

I have the vinyl too, and a decent turntable, sounds good, would´nt say necessarily much better than CD, different. softer.

Possio

I saw Rundgren solo with and Electric Fender Tele (and an Ipad! thru the PA) here in Stockholm last year. When he was on the guitar it was brilliant! great vocal delivery, when he sat down at the house Grand Piano to do ballads (like "Hello its me" etc) it was plain awful...Couldnt remember the chor...

Possio

I have the Japanese CD Version from a bunch of years back and to be quite frank,
it sounds fine. no Remastering needed if you ask me..

Possio

can anyone recommend a really good sw to "rip" the straming sound off of Wolfgangs V? (for example)

Sounds to me like they upgraded the bit-rate for the streams on that site.
Those 2 Treasure shows sound great, though, they are not downloadable as far as I know.
