The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Ultimate Classic Rock are clearly hoping to keep the doors open for an exclusive interview with Vinnie in the not to distant future.

No other explanation for this:

From Creatures Fest Facebook, January 16, 2022 video update, transcribed: ... there's many songs from Vinnie's... from Creatures of The Night album, and, and if we do that we're not even utilizing the great work on the Lick It Up album. So, I've spoken with Vinnie and we've come up with a plan. We'r...

aeroflott

Oh my god this is just awful. Here's Vinnie's full "set".

aeroflott

Someone posted this in KISSFAQ, I agree with what he says. Difficult to be Vinnie. Quote if vinnie doesn't play, they complain.... If vinnie plays only acoustic, they complain.... if vinnie plays but doesn't do a solo, they complain.... if vinnie plays and does solos, they complain.... if vinnie di...

Why am I not surprised? So this was it. The man is finished after this shitfest. And there is no way Gene and Paul would allow him to join them on stage for 1 minute after seeing this. I feel bad for Ace and Bruce getting involved in this mess. I have to agree. Can you imagine how Creatures Fest wo...

aeroflott

Wow. So much to unpick here. If I recall correctly: 1. Neil Davis was explicit in saying "this isn't like those private events. This is a pubic event, and people will be free to film and share it with the world for everyone to see". There's a video out there from a while back where he said this. Thi...

aeroflott

The variable factor in all this I guess was the relationship between Vinnie and the band. We can look at the numbers and the overall deal, which may look shitty on paper (or maybe it was a reasonable deal for an unknown dude joining a band like Kiss, I don't know), but if there was animosity and per...

aeroflott

Vinnie's got some serious hair going on there. He looks good!

aeroflott

How are sooooo many small time bands etc recording their stuff without 100k and a record company behind them? If anything what has happened since the 80's and 90's is that being able to record and release your own material has gotten easier and waaaaay better sounding. This should not be what's get...

aeroflott

I would bet no solos from Vinnie Isn't it odd that all the focus in terms of announcements has been on the other guests and not Vinnie? I mean ultimately it started out as his event right? Looking at the website, and the way everyone is positioned, it seems that the lead draw is Ace and Peter. And ...

aeroflott

Interesting interview, confirms the album is not new music, maybe that is going on somewhere and needs to be kept a better secret. Still no idea why they are telling us anything about delays for VINLY!!!! Sure, do a vinly release and let that come out whenever it comes out, but there are all the OT...

aeroflott

Spoilsport.

I feel invested in this topic now. Here's the audio from the show in question (its actually at Norman Oklahoma, not "Normandy" France!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olZPWpdFvkY Listen to the segment from 35:12 onwards (during VV's solo). Vinnie is hammering on his fretboard in the same way that ...

aeroflott

Did a bit of hunting around. There's reference to it here - third column last paragraph:

aeroflott

Something was posted on one of the Facebook groups relating to a Kiss show on March 21, 1983 in Normandy. The post made reference to a part of the show where Vinnie supposedly released "fireballs" from his hands. Apparently this was the only show where this stunt was performed. Anyone have any more ...

aeroflott

First Covid, then Ukraine. Now Vinnie releasing a new album. We are surely witnessing the end of days. I was thinking about this last night, and I'm hoping for something that's not 'VVI 3'. Not that there would be anything wrong with that, but I'd love to hear how Vinnie has interpreted the changes ...

aeroflott

Whoah.

aeroflott

Its interesting. Anecdotally, (and this is just a general feel that I get reading about this online) it seems that the focus is on everyone else? Ace, Peter, Bruce, Corabi, etc - rather than Vinnie? I mean this is Vinnie's event right?, but we don't seem to be getting much info about Vinnie's appear...

aeroflott

I'm amazed Bruce has gone for this, and equally amazed VV has agreed to have him part of it.

In previous interviews its clear Bruce is (or was) no fan of VV?

aeroflott

It will be at a hotel in Nashville, TN (not SIR Studios) which will be announced in the coming days. Ah ok I stand corrected in that case. The last announcement I read suggested SIR was the location, and creaturesfest.com suggests the capacity is 850. I guess let's see what unfolds in the coming we...

aeroflott

I will confess that I don't know how these things work so forgive me if I'm being a dumbass, but I would assume that the acts announced there all require some sort of advance payment to secure their appearance? Or at the very least are expecting some sort of contract/guarantee of a fee to play on th...

aeroflott

Being objective, you have to look at the whole picture, and Carmine's general vibe in this interview, is pretty consistent with other interviews about VV's demeanour by other artists. Of all the interviews I've heard, Bobby Rock's memories and story telling of that time are probably the most complim...

aeroflott

Seriously, this is some of the worst garbage I've heard. All of them should be ashamed at how this is including Tommy Thayer. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/carmine-appice-tommy-thayer-mystified/?fbclid=IwAR1JAPTBKJLddMHJEE2aHJ8LErYWqzY3hu7Jr0AEJbJMpcsXpfUW9Q8C_G8 I think that sounds f'in fantastic.

aeroflott

Woah.

aeroflott

We can look at not only the many other 80's guitarists/musicians and see what they do as normal human beings to continue their career and with respect for their history and fanbase. Then there is Bruce and Ace, both ex-KISS guitarists who are like the other 80's rock stars, still out there rockin' ...

aeroflott

To follow up my post above - Its very easy for us to sit here and throw grenades into the room. We aren't a former guitarist of Kiss, we're idiots sat in front of laptops with an opinion. We haven't been through the courts and got screwed over for our royalties by Uncle Gene. We haven't lived throug...

aeroflott

I think for as long as he's trying to milk the cashcow dry at the ridiculous pace he's doing so, he will inevitably disappear again. For example: http://vinnievincent.com/product/vinnie-vincent-hand-writtenlyrics/ - these are not even original handwritten lyrics from back in the day right? And charg...

aeroflott

Recreating a huge event like a gig in Rio is only going to lead to disappointment. It's fantasy land. As Wolfie says, all anyone wants to see is VV with an acoustic and electric guitar playing some songs and telling stories. Cheap to set up logistically and easy to execute. I don't get why its so ha...

aeroflott

Well it sounds "interesting". As well as some auction guff happening in November, Vinnie will be supposedly re-creating the Rio Creatures era show, along with a band. "Creatures Fest" will take place in Nashville in the spring of 2022 - likely late March, early April. To quote the guy who made the a...

I guess KISS have been doing the exact same thing since Psycho Circus and they aren't getting any younger either. Thing is KISS hide behind the superhero costumes to the point that it is now KISS presents scab KISS. I take your point, but the Kiss proposition is about those four characters, and arg...

aeroflott

Not trying to be a smartass or putting the guy down in any way, but why doesn't Vinnie use current pictures of himself in his promos? I get the impression he's very comfortable with who he is and where he's at in life, but I find this constant use of old pictures of his younger self really strange. ...

aeroflott

I think this could be pretty interesting. Will be cool to see what is put out (and what the VV Pricing department put on it price-wise)

Presumably this replaces the proposed release of the BoxSet?

aeroflott

Arrgh! my mistake.

An interesting update from VV was made on 9th August on the Facebook groups: A Message from : VINNIE VINCENT Hi everyone. I am so moved by your well wishes on this very important birthday for me.. and I will tell you all about that in a few sentences from now. I have been off the grid for a bit prep...

aeroflott

I think the distinct sound of VVI was too "out there" to have survived the 90s. It would have been possible to hibernate VVI over this time (as the likes of Ratt did), and then make some form of comeback - but even now as a legacy act, VVI just wouldn't work. Warrant, Dokken, Great White etc can ear...

aeroflott

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I stumbled across this site last night: https://www.vinnievincentposters.com/ Seems these guys got Vinnie to sign a bunch of the cancelled events and are selling them off? IMPORTANT: WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH VINNIE VINCENT IN ANY WAY, OTHER THAN TO HAVE...

aeroflott

So there's been a few of these events now. I'm amazed no one has captured anything at all from them, surreptitiously or otherwise? Not even audio?

Would love to hear some of the alleged VV shredding that has supposedly took place.

aeroflott

aeroflott

Hold on. So this isn't the original lyric sheets, handwritten back in the 80s?

This is VV writing the lyrics out for you by hand, like, in the here and now? Tell me that isn't the case....

It's probably in the production queue behind the boxset. Right?

£500 per ticket.

I almost feel like there's no point posting about this (or a multitude of other VV related goodies), but in what world does anyone think that a $5K guitar is the right thing to attach Vinnie's name to? Vai could (and probably does) sell guitars at these sort of prices. And that's because he's active...

aeroflott

Man, it has been three years hasn't it? THREE YEARS.

aeroflott

Well he's got the Boxset to get out first. Mind you its been two years, so hopefully the release is imminent. hello?.... Yes, I'm being snarky, but with good reason IMO. People have paid and have been waiting many years for this. Despite promising it would be released, here we are. Meantime, VV is g...

aeroflott

Well that's not so exciting in that case!

But I think you're probably right looking again at other footage from the show. Odd place to park your picks though.

aeroflott

Not sure if this has been spotted before, but I noticed something random watching the Rio performance of "I Love it Loud" today. If you start watching video at the 1:37 mark during the solo outro, Vinnie sweeps his right arm back across the guitar, and appears to take a couple of chunks out of the f...

aeroflott

This video is a good companion to those pictures. Lots of stories from the Vinnie European Expos of the time.

aeroflott

Vinnie strikes me as a very cautious (maybe even paranoid?) individual, so I'm very surprised that "in person" events are even being considered by him right now.
