I like my burgers like my soul,...Black! Bwahhahaha

Spacewig

Very cool!

Spacewig

I purchased this in 1988 and still have it!!!

Yeah, as opposed to other photos, and the infamous mugshot!

Spacewig

I don't think anyone's ignoring, it's pretty obvious.

Spacewig

welcome d-burger!

Spacewig

No the interview was audio only in '88 or '87. I spoke to him in 2008. I was trying to find a copy of the interview on tape. I didn't post it as I didn't think it painted the best image of v, but now it seemed accurate some what. A lot of the old timers didn't understand that some great violin mast...

Spacewig

I kind of like it! Nice to see VV laughing for a change.

Spacewig

I was lucky enough to see this show March 11, 1983 in TX. My first KISS concert! Plasmatics opened.

Spacewig

Sorry, I'm a little lost. haha This is a re-recording of unreleased VV??

Spacewig

Where did the VV "Truth" recording come from? I found it the other day and it says "2014"??

Spacewig

Now that you guys are mentioning all this, I can see it a bit clearer. I was watching the unedited "Night Flight" interview, and it's pretty obvious to me that Paul doesn't care for Vinnie.

Spacewig

Regardless of how he looks these days, I would just like to see a pic of VV at his door smiling & giving the fans a thumbs up! (Wishful thinking, I know.)

I was thinking "Dammit Gene, I want my royalties!!"

Spacewig

Kudos to whoever made this. Very imaginative, and "Dead F**king On"!

Spacewig

I remember seeing this photo in the LIU tour book back in '83. Always thought it was kinda cool....

Sad for all parties involved.

Agreed! KISS lost my loyalty after LIU, however they gained it back with Revenge!

Spacewig

Wow man, what a bummer. Sorry to hear about your ankle, and the fact that you had to cancel the cruise & trip! Best wishes on your recovery.

I think 3000 is more realistic.

I'd be willing to start with $2-$2.5K if he would entertain offers.

Nigel Rules!

Spacewig

Every time I stopped in Smyrna (Almaville Rd. & 24), I would always ask the clerks at the local gas stations if anyone had ever seen Vinnie. Never got any positive confirmation. He's a ghost, it's like he doesn't even exist.

Spacewig

Thanks! Now they are back in their cases. They are not to be played, just admired for now. Is it sad that I am not playing them?? Haha

Spacewig

Well, it finally arrived. Here's a picture of it next to my '88 AF-40, Yes, some slight variations. I saw what you were saying about the signature poserboy. The top of the "F" isn't on the signature.

Spacewig

I already have a real 88 Washburn AF40 signed by Ace himself. (I'm guessing '88 because of the serial number, #882**) Anyways, this guitar seems like a cool collectable, & the only one in existence. My guess is that it wasn't rereleased because Ace didn't want to back it. I'll find out more when I g...

Spacewig

Well, it looks like I will be the new owner of this guitar! He accepted my offer

I'll post some more pics when I receive it.

The only guitar that has been more beat up and abused is Chris Holmes' "Yellow beast". Have you guys seen that?? Wow, what a piece....

And were slayed and christened the "Toilet Boys"

ESP? The guitar company?

Spacewig

I got meet Booby Rock several years ago. When I asked him about VVI, he said "Wow, that was an interesting time. It was like 10 years of being in the music industry compressed into 3!" We chatted for about 15 minutes and when he left, he said "Thanks for the memories!"

Genebaby wrote:Ok, maybe Korea isn't so bad this time around but it's strange to see a one of prototype not made in the USA, from where I can see production moving overseas afterwards.

Agreed!

Spacewig

Honestly, I was never a "Huge" EVH fan while I was growing up. But yeah, I knew VH1 & 1984 which I always loved & thought were pretty awesome. It wasn't until 4-5 years ago that I took the time to go back listen to the entire early catalog. Van Halen II really blew me away! Back in the 70's -early 8...

Spacewig

Yep, definitely some good talented guitarists on both of your lists. Three other guys that I really admired were Jeff Waters/ANNIHILATOR, Mark Reale/RIOT, and Wolf Hoffmann/ACCEPT, (Wolf also has a home & spend time here in Nashville).

Spacewig

Ok, I'm a fan of it being a newer made guitar as it has a sweet Schaller Floyd rather than the Wonderbra from the 80's, but made in Korea? I would have thought a one-off prototype would have been USA made, so that puts me off big time, regardless of the model and rarity. Yes, I thought that was a l...

Spacewig

I stumbled across this one the other day. It would be a nice addition to the collection, although I'm not sure I want to pay the $4K. It's a 2005 prototype for the AF-40V that never went into reproduction. Seller is claiming this was the only 2005 prototype made. If true, it definitely holds value. ...

Spacewig

cool. I haven't heard Inferno, I'll have to check it out. One of the worst on my list might just be Ace Frehley! lol Don't get me wrong, I like what he did with KISS, but the last two times I saw him his playing was sooo sloppy! Like he wasn't even trying! :\

Spacewig

I was really into Marty Friedman during the 90's. More recently, I was just introduced to Chris Broderick. I didn't know much about him at the time, but his technique & playing were quite impressive.

Spacewig

Forum members: Just curious who your all-time favorite guitarists are? Not necessarily the best, or most technical, just your favorites.

Here are my top five, (In no particular order);
1. Randy Rhoads
2. Vinnie Vincent
3. Ronnie LeTekro
4. Yngwie Malmsteen
5. Eddie Van Halen

Spacewig

Word. I'll do it later tonight when I get home.

Spacewig

On yeah, and at least one signing!

Spacewig

For the record; I will offer Mr. Vincent Cusano the sum of $1000.00 US dollars ca$h for a one (1) hour meeting in person. My only terms would be that he fulfills the complete time of 60 minutes, and would allow photos to be taken. To anyone who could pass the word, it would be appreciated.

Spacewig

Welcome! Good to have a fellow local on board.

Spacewig

Welcome Walam123

Spacewig

Welcome cmarti! I was lucky enough to see VV live on the COTN tour. It was my first Kiss concert back in '82.

Spacewig

I hope Vinnie finds peace, wherever he may be.

Spacewig

Cool, thanks for the clarification on the Kuni track. & OK "The pyro messiah has come" Im hearing it now. For the longest time I just thought it was something recorded backwards. Ha!

Spacewig

Does anyone know what the voice at the beginning of "Get the LED out" is saying? I like when bands do shit like this. Back in the day, (when I had a record player!), I played "Ashes to Ashes" backwards and it said "Memories of you never fade away". I always thought it was part of a song that they ch...

Spacewig

Hey there, I'm a newbie too. Welcome!

Spacewig

Thanks for the welcome guys. BTW Poserboy, I spent some time this afternoon reading your thread " The Poserboy has cometh" & all I can say is "Holy F**k!!!!" I've heard the stories about Mr. Vincent, and it all makes a little more sense now. I'm a business man, so I've dealt with my fair share of ex...

Spacewig

Someone already been through them. There is a signed alive 2 by Paul and gene which is why they will be dianes. They were brought outside a few weeks ago. All in very bad shape True. The photos from the "Vinnie's Big House" thread tells me that many others have already been on site picking whatever...

Spacewig

The house doors have been locked. The LPs have obviously been sitting there for awhile. I didn't feel the need to rummage through the pile, although I couldn't help but wonder if there were any rare collectables, or some signed stuff buried in there. Guess I'll never know.
