Hi Brooklyn_Born ..... Yes, I was at the show in Baltimore that night. On the outfit, he wore that samething for a period of time near the end of the tour. You are correct on the date. I am not certain if the one photo was taken in Baltimore or not but it is very possible. I was sitting right next t...

Well Kev, The worst of the 2 for me is Carnival of Souls. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. Jungle is a pretty good tune and probably the best song on the record for my money. However, the others don't really do much for me. Songs like "Childhoods End" grate on my every last nerve. LOL As you may...

I would have to catagorize mine: Original line-up 1. Dressed to Kill 2. Rock and Roll Over 3. KISS (1st) Without makeup: 1. Lick It Up 2. Asylum 3. Animalize Overall : 1. Lick It Up 2. Creatures of the Night 3. Dressed to Kill 4. Rock and Roll Over 5. KISS (1st) worst...... Revenge and Carnival of S...

Brooklyn_Born: Not sure if you know about these photo's or not. I am almost a hundred percent sure the 2nd one was taking in Baltimore, Md in 1984 I have a copy from the originals and knew the person who took it quite well. I think the 1st and 3rd were taking that night too.....I have the last one t...

I agree with the poserboy, doesn't sound like much of anything new. I have the unedited Nightflight interview as well as the original that I taped myself. I have a low generation copy of the unedited version and it is low quality as well. There is nothing earth shattering on there, some joking aroun...

AWESOME POST KEV !!!! I completely agree with you on these issues... For me as long as there is no music, his is retired and as you stated he ain't no spring chicken anymore. ( Btw , the record company was Enigma ) I feel you Brother, I guess I just don't let myself get that upset about it, again th...

Thanks Kev and Wolfgang. Kev, I think you and I are on the same page regarding the stuff with the V-man. ( You being much more harsh about it then I .... LOL ) As you know I have never gotten too involved with all the personal stuff that is discussed. Of course, I have my own thoughts and opinions o...

Thanks you guys. Happy to share them. It is a shame, Vinnie is immensely talented. We all wish things could have been different. I'll leave you with a few more pics...... Fred with Vinnie Vincent-7-25-1988-HammerJacks-Bal. Md..jpg Fred and Mark Slaughter - Baltimore, Md. '88 (Hammerjacks show ).jpg ...

more proof that he didn't always ignore his fans........

Interesting note about this photo and signature .......I sent it to him thru the mail, around the time the E.P/ Metaluna stuff first came about. I asked him if he would sign this along with 2 other's that I took of him. (1 from the A.S.G tour and 1 from the L.I.U tour with KISS ) He signed all 3. Th...

Here is a teaser for ya: Just as an FYI Vinnie didn't always ignore his fans. There was a time when he could be contacted and he actually responded believe it or not. Here is proof of one such time.

I saw them 4 times Genebaby, twice on the '86 tour with Alice (Baltimore, Md. Civic Center and The Patriot center @ George Mason University, Virginia. ) Then twice on the A.S.G tour in '88 (Baltimore , Md. Hammerjacks and The Bayou, Washington, D.C ) The pics above are: (top) from the Bayou '88 , (b...

Is that you Q ???? I posted on your FB page a while back but didn't hear back. I don't post much here, but I am always lurking.... ; - P How are you Bro?? Well, I hope !!! We need to catch up when you have a chance.

The 2nd and 3rd photo's in the 2nd to last row, were taking by me. Interesting to see them here. I sent some of the photo's I had taken of VVI to Mark, wonder if that is how they got into this group of photo's. Here they are in bigger better quality....(I saw VVI Live 4 times and took pics at 3 of t...

Great Job, One finger.....I am just hearing your covers for the first time. I send all my prayers to you and all the people of Japan at this time....Keep rockin' Bro

Actually I measured it Vic and I only come up with 5 1/4 it has the "compound radius" however which is always a plus...... (so I hear) LMAO All joking aside, good info Vic. Sorry never meant to imply the Crackle finish had anything to do with the model type. Thought that was obvious.

I wonder who won it. I was going to try but forgot to


V bought it , so no of us could have it......LOL

Genebaby, here is a link to another one ( Fusion Custom) it seems the 650xl is a slighty different model. This one in the link has a student fretboard and lacks the pre-amp that mine has. This one os a bolt on. But it is still in the desert crackle...check it out..... http://www.guitar-museum.com/gu...

GeneBaby, my monster hasn't changed any since I owned it (expect for the straplock change) There are already pics of it here somewhere I believe ??? I will definitely get pics up after it is finished being re-painted, along with some other changes that I hope to get done.

Thanks Kev !! I have always amired your collection as you know. My measly 3 guitars pale in comparision to your great clollection . That's interesting Vic....Thanks for the info.. (It was listed in the blue-book as a Charvel Fusion Custom) There is a interesting story about that guitar and me owning...

Uncle Kev, as I have told you before Bro..... Great Collection !!!

No "GeneBaby", it is a neck thru .....

Do you have pics of yours up "Genebaby".......

Would like to see your Fire Crackle also "Poserboy"

Here is a pic of my Fusion Custom / Desert Crackle

Whatever this guitar is , the shadow fins are not the same color as the "original" Ibanez that appeared in the "Love Kills" video. The Ibanez and Washburn had the same color scheme . (very similar to the colors of my Monster VVV ) This one is closer to the color scheme that was on his Carvin. (Even ...

It is just my opinion but the book or "catalog" detailing all the "in's and out's" and "what, where and who's" about his guitars would never happen. Because it ultimately comes down to the same questions. How many where there? Do you still have them? And if not, what happened to them ? Answering tho...

A bizillion posts later : To Timstar, great job with the reports, pic and video's. Awesome job.
Thanks again for all the work you did to bring us this info

Yes I understood the policy Genebaby, I just thought it was interesting to state it after the fact. Sorta like it was offered as an explaination as to why no materials (catalog, etc) were offered at the booth. I didn't notice it in the previous posting (on youtube I mean ) maybe it was there, and I ...

I took it as a swipe at Gene too...... I thought "band member" was a way to not use the "K" word. It was just my impression though, who knows. I also thought it was interesting that it said near the bottom. Something to the effect, that it was against NAMM policy to "Cash and carry" any distributors...

Just as an FYI the most recent check of his video channel info does list Paypal as an option for the catalog.

Hey , Genebaby, Shram , Slayer, DoubleV and Teej got in with no trouble at all this time.
Just wanted to say hello and let you know that I got my eye on you guys !!! LOL
