The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Unfortunately I'm basing my thoughts on young Faysal based on what I'm hearing of what he posted. It's not that he's not well known, that no problem, Mark wasn't well known when he started. It's that while Faysal surely can sing, he cannot sing up to the standard of Mark, and there would be sections...

That sounds about correct Dino. This guy can sing to a point, but not to the point that is needed here, so it surely will not happen. How Vinnie is able to laud his talents is beyond me. I was just watching David Coverdale unbox the special Gold Edition of the Purple Album and it got me thinking. Vi...

It's all madness!! Complete madness!!

2024 will be another year of NOT VV, like we've been having for a looooong time.

Here's some footage from the KISS Cancer Goodbye show, that Vinnie should have, but never could have, been at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXyIVDayLls I think this guy, though he doesn't have a Floyd and some bits are hard to hear, did the solo the closest I've heard it to the record. Even Vinni...

Thanks man. We did see this here the other day.

It's all a joke really. For all we know Faysal is already out, and was never really in!!!!! Just like before!!

It's Vinnie, beleive and trust nothing!

Not a bad idea! Where is this girl now? She did such a great job on that song of all songs.

Isn't this the similar event Vinnie was going to help out with, cancer fundraising, and pulled out? I guess he's not going to help out with this one? Just move his event, which is no big loss to anybody. Still no new, or old new, music. Holy Crap, it's going to start soon, but check out https://www...

This guy can sing, but he struggles in the second part of that clip.

Yes. Mark can rest easy, this can sing, but he's not in the same league.

Wow, there is a lot to unpack there, once you can work out what is being said in that jumble of letters. You can really feel that Vinnie is writing this himself, no further proofing and refining, LoL. So the album is going to press in December, but then it's still 4 months, and there will somehow be...

Gee, things have gotten pretty bad out there haven't they? We need these guys back!

Wow, that was sooooo early in the reunion you'd think they were gonna be on fire, and of course they were SOOO young, though the press at the time called them OLD!!!! They had no idea what an old KISS member is. Fast forward to 2023 and take a look, LoL.

He might not be selling much, but he's trying to! At those crazy prices!

Too bad he won't be helping raise money for cancer this weekend since he moved his event.

Is he just going to sit at home while this happens, and he could be there?

Yeah, bootlegs can be hit and miss even if they are high quality recordings. They are what they are, a representation of the show that was recorded, and it can seem different to hear it without being there, seeing and experiencing the live show. Donington 96 would have been awesome to be at, how coo...

One of the best Paul ballad type songs, but also heavy!!! Tears Are Falling was great, nice job there Paul, but then he writes Everytime I Look At You? Let's not even talk about I Finally Found My Way. Poor Peter, having to sing that absolute trash song.

Yeah, that's a bit of a lame one I think, the lyrics are too cliche and obvious.

A Million To One kicks it's ass to the other side of the universe!

Many people liked it, and thought it was very cool Much better than the half time entertainment!!

Yeah, the usual 80's hyperbole and stories to explain things. Quite funny now.

Michael is releasing a whole bunch of stuff he has re-discovered!!

Your choice! It's great too, just not AS great!!

Michael Brandvold is digitising a bunch of old tapes. Here's Gene & Paul going through the Creatures album, telling us Ace is still for sure in the band and they didn't want to tour until now because they didn't want to!!

I listen to it often too!

Actually, they did some anniversary merchandise for LIU, but not a box set. I wonder what the prerequisites are for that to happen? So far it's only Destroyer and Creatures.

YES! A LIU anniversary box set. Where is that? I didn't do he Creatures one, but I'd be more interested in an LIU one.

The video at the start of this thread has gone Private it seems, bugger.

Where did the 80's go? Come back!!!

Andre did real drums. If Andre's drums are not on there then we are getting crap from Vinnie, not the good stuff.

He might release that later as the "Ultimate Judgement Day" album. Hear it like it was meant to be!!

Yes, it will be interesting if the "new release" is ever released and it has a shitty drum machine, we will be able to compare it to the originals.

Much like Star Wars. So much crap that Lucas injected into the originals to make them better, but making them worse. This could be the same.

Well .. it's groundhog day again It's a bit like that isn't it? Vinnie is a combinationof groundhog day and the boy who cried wolf! I'm going to release an album! I'm going to play full songs with a killer band, watch me! I'm going to release an album! I'm going to play full songs, watch me! It's g...

I'm not sure if it was Bob, as with this guitar there was a bit of confusion (surprise, surprise!) as to it being autographed or not. It really seemed like there were too of them. The guy in the video I saw was saying things like he was being begged to come along to the next party, but he passed. So...

Well, that will be in 2029, and I look forward to seeing that!

I still have my HITS vinyl that I bought upon release. An excited little KISS fan I was back then, to buy the new, new KISS album!!

It does seem that the steam of these pricey events is running out. The guy who had the white/gold VVV I think it was spoke about one of the last ones, he was being pressured to go due to low ticket sales. It makes sense though. They are always the same basic thing, hanging with Vinnie for lots of $$...

We hear and get what you're saying Wolfi. We are all pretty much the same I'm sure.

Vinnie can do awesome work, but he seems to choose the opposite for a long time and it's not a good look, just more tarnish on his already not great reputation.

I wonder if they have any plans to expand. They are only in select US locations, and seem to be doing well, it's been quite a few years now and they are still going. The people I talked to one of the times I went to El Segundo were locals who lived nearby, they just liked the food and the ambience o...

Yes, I'm with you, I barely listen to Euphoria, you can tell it's not quite finished or fully realised, just released quickly to have some product. It's cool for the collection, but isn't up there with the two albums, and the third we've been waiting eons for! I wanna say "Hey Google, play Judgement...

I think you nailed it Wolfi. Nothing but crap is the reality of what Vinnie has been delivering. He has completely lost any legendary status he once enjoyed due to leaving the public eye and leaving us all wondering. Now we wonder no more, and what we have seen is not good. It seems Vinnie is happy ...

LoL!!! Euphoria was basically demos that got released. Let's see what we get this time, if anything.

And hopefully it's not been fucked with and ruined in the meantime!

Seems very fair. Slash would have been too young to go out with KISS, he did the right thing and made a band with his peers/friends, and Richie was obviously among the many others considered. Not every one is a good fit for every situation and in the end there can be only one! Vinnie obviously wante...

Very interesting. The sad state of affairs at the end of VVI. Vinnie doing everything separate from the rest of the band, even soundcheck!! That's a pretty bad situation right there if the band can't soundcheck together.

Another guy in the long line of "I tried out for KISS and Ozzy in '82"! It is strange he would be asked to play a Les Paul guitar. KISS played many non standard guitars, while Ace had the LP and that was fine. Vinnie came in with a totally new shape guitar, while playing a LP and Strat at times for ...

Wow, I can't believe it's 40 years since the release of the might Lick It Up album, and the band's unmasking!

This album still sounds fresh and I love the production. It's more balanced than Creatures and the guitars sound so cool.

Happy Birthday LIU!!!

For sure! It has to have Andre on drums, or it will be a pile of garbage compared to what it could have been.

A bit like George Lucas, there has been a lot of time for Vinnie to ruin what was a classic. I fear the worst.

It is very dodgy to not have a secure site these days, but hey, I'm sure Vinnie and his minions know what they are doing!

Sadly this is true. Vinnie "Paul Runner" Vincent doesn't care about the music, he probably never has for a couple of decades, as he's spent that long doing the trolling and lurking on websites that talk about him. Rather than building up his own name/image. Instead he's been tearing it down, and muc...

I thought we were told October, back when the newest listening party was being held.

I'm not holding my breath for anything this year, but miracles could happen.

He would surely know how the music "business" works, and that Paul and Gene, or any band like them, don't sit at home in between gigs stuffing mailbags with merch people have bought. What influence they can exert I don't know, but it would be nice if it was made right.

Yes, the Dubai stuff is terrrible. From what I know it's the company that does that stuff, Gene and Paul or KISS never do merchandise, but companies like Winterland do t-shirts for tours etc, and the one they used for Dubai have not come up with the goods.

It's been brought up before, with him even I think. He cannot do vocals like the 80's. He doesn't sing that way, can't sing that way.

Kick ass man!!! Nice score!!!

You only really need Paul's sig on there, but hey, bonus sigs!!!

How does it sound and play?

One of the mantras I live by!!
