The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Picture the scene. Paul, Gene, Eric and Tommy are sat in Doc McGhee's office discussing the final shows at MSG. The subject of Vinnie coming out and playing with the band comes up. Doc says, "Pull up YouTube and let's take a look at some recent performances of this guy. Has he still got it? Can we r...

I suspect SIR is somewhere that Vinnie feels comfortable with.

Three Sides discuss this whole thing here:

Ep 512: Vinnie Vincent is trying to sell memorabilia for CRAZY prices!

aeroflott

The post event analysis online is all very vague. Its like the attendees are speaking in code, but from what I can gather, there was no filming allowed (as usual), however, some references to a full band being there were made. Vinnie played, everyone was very enthusiastic about what he did. Another ...

Dude, you're missing the point!! That misprint card is PSYCHO RARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is PSYCHO RARE, like, the peak of all things rare? Or do we think there's something beyond PSYCHO RARE? We might be witnessing maximum rareness here. My betting is something even more rare will turn up down the line...

aeroflott

I was toying with the idea of actually attending this one (thankfully something else came up). I think I would have been pretty pissed having spent 500 bucks for a ticket, only to find out later, that to get a pic with Vinnie would require another 100 bucks alone. The fans paying these prices are en...

So Vinnie is doing another party/gig/event thing this weekend at SIR Studios. An announcement has been made about merch that will be available for fans to purchase. Hi VV PARTY.. some cool rare and expensive merch will be at the signing table.. ***YOU CAN USE YOUR PAYPAL TO PURCHASE MERCH AT THE TAB...

aeroflott

You keep talking about Vinnie "writing" all these songs. I think you mean he co-wrote or had a hand in those songs. Those are two different things.

aeroflott

I think you have to look at this whole topic subjectively. Every band probably has songs they dislike, but realise that they have to play them because the fans expect to hear them. Doesn't Paul dislike I Love It Loud for example? But that's a been live staple since forever. Equally, he probably play...

aeroflott

Yeah, I thought it was well done.

aeroflott

This is well put together:

In a vague attempt to get this back on track, this was posted on one of the VV Facebook Groups yesterday. Supposedly Vinnie's words: MESSAGE FROM VINNIE VINCENT : Hey guys.. Manno..It's been a musically busy two years for me. Shit..i got 4 months of emails i haven't answered yet.. Putting the final ...

Why exactly is Derek a "criminal"? Maybe you don't think lying to credit card companies etc is any big deal. You are probably cool with Derek stealing money and saying a concert happened when it didn't. ooohhh lying to credit card companies..ooohh . Committing Fraud. No big deal. Lying to credit ca...

aeroflott

Yup. When VV made his comeback at Atlanta, a key part of his "comeback" was he stated he was going to make good on the boxset. Hell, the thumbnail image of the promotional video was him holding the boxset in front of his face. I think you're right, it isn't going to happen. Ever. Ergo, the man is a ...

You want to expand on that? Because that's quite an accusation.

aeroflott

Funny how you fail to mention LA Guns went home broke and they couldn't find another tour after they got kicked off the VVI tour. Yeah, it sounds like they were really doing great. They are still out there working hard touring and earning a living nearly 40 years later. Imagine that. Still touring ...

aeroflott

and even the Chrysalis people admit that Slaughter broke because of all the VVI fans. Without them, Slaughter would have never gone anywhere. But Double V is always full of shit Interesting. You got a link or some proof that "the Chrysalis people admit that Slaughter broke because of all the VVI fa...

Fixed that for you.

People call out Vinnie because of his actions. I don't think its the other way round.

aeroflott

Surely this can't have been about money. I can't believe that. That would be a low blow even for VV. Ah man. I asked a question about it on one of the VV Facebook groups. Comment was deleted, and the topic (where this was announced) was closed to further comments. Same old story. The enablers start ...

The inevitable announcement has been made on Facebook today: Unfortunately, our dear friend Vinnie Vincent was working on a special performance for the KISS Cancer Goodbye event. But the show he wanted to do ultimately had too many moving parts that could not be worked out by this weekend so he is g...

Vinnie is right. He didn't need that clown. What's that guy done...some small KISS thing around the Cruise Ship. Woop de doo. Mark making claims. That is sickening too. Mark blows so much smoke up people's butts. Hes a constant liar. So glad he got screwed with all those video releases recently. If...

Interesting there's no Vinnie guitar solo on the live stuff...

aeroflott

Hey, thanks for working up these ideas. But I don't think I need you. I'm going to take them and run with them myself!

Amazing.

An interesting interview this week on Three Sides of The Coin. No this isn't them bashing Vinnie, its Joe D'Angelo, organiser of the Kruise Fest, describing what it was like to work with Vinnie. Not only on the Kruise back in 2018, but also on other projects that he put together and proposed to Vinn...

Surely! I guess we'll find out.

Should we start the poll now or leave it for a few days?

So this is interesting. Neil Davis posted this on Facebook today: KISS Cancer Goodby Fundraiser is thrilled to share that our live streaming event will include performances by the Brandon Fields All Star Band, The Talismen and Vinnie Vincent.

No, that they were the opening act not co-headliners as the tour manager lied about. Again, what the ticket stub stated and what the tour manager was told at the time about the tour are likely to be totally unconnected. Guns may have been told "you're co-headliners" to persuade them to accept the t...

aeroflott

You're clearly the arbitrator of truth, scanning every site that posts something about Vinnie, then refer to those other sites using riddles.

Youre right, I can't even keep up.

Get over yourself dude.

aeroflott

So you run and post that LA Guns tour manager lying about what went down with Vinnie Vincent Invasion and the worst Vinnie hate site of all - KISSFAQ, yet you have a ticket that directly shows that tour manager was a lying POS. I don't recall you posting that in that thread to show he was a liar an...

What's happened to vinnievincent.com?

aeroflott

And yet some think Vinnie should have signed a horrible contract, given up his publishing to Gene and Paul to live on money where Bruce and Christine couldn't even afford a 2nd car. They didn't even have kids to support. Neither did Eric. Imagine how bad they would have been if they did have severa...

Ok dude.

aeroflott

We can debate all day about what Bruce actually contributed to Kiss compared to Vinnie. And yet, in the popularity stakes, Bruce wins hands down. I don't think I've ever seen a post that puts Bruce down. He was and is a reliable, nice guy who loves his music and contribution to Kiss. Fans pretty muc...

aeroflott

The fact remains that Vinnie didn't play full songs. He did not "solo" on any of them. He did a long solo on I Love It Loud. Or do you mean something else? No that's exactly what I meant. It was a 2 minute puke. Basically more of the mess he was doing when people walked into the room. I'm not sure ...

aeroflott

I also want to say that I wish Vinnie well. His legacy is immense and much overlooked because of the nonsense that has gone down since VVI disbanded. I remain a huge advocate of his early work with Kiss and VVI, and that will never go away. But trying to revisit that legacy and charging fans in the ...

aeroflott

Its funny how some of these people acted like Vinnie, Neil and others lied. And that Vinnie didn't have stage fright or anything else. They lie and claim Vinnie never played full songs at SIR and he didn't sound great. You name it. They were never three, yet, they spew BS about what they "claim". A...

aeroflott

BTW Vinnie advertised nothing, it was all Neil's blabbing, Vinnie only said he's excited or so and nodded to everything Neil blabbed about. Vinnie never made any promises. Then its even worse. He was complicit in the fraud. You telling me he sat there and allowed "Neil to lie" for months about exac...

aeroflott

Boy, someone doesn't know much KISStory if they believe that. Pretty much anyone will tell you, Paul is the biggest liar by far in KISS. After that, of course, its Gene. Random guy on the internet calls Paul Stanley a liar and backs it up with "pretty much anyone will tell you". With respect, do yo...

aeroflott

Paul doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would "make stuff up".

Given VV's track record with boxsets, guitar endorsements and recent show performances against what was originally promised, I know who's word I'd take as the truth.

aeroflott

He thinks Vinnie was the least of those 4 at Creatures Fest. He's acting like Peter and Ace did so much. Bruce is a good guy. And he did very well at Creatures Fest. But the truth is he doesnt' have much of anything to show during his time in KISS. It was telling the whole album he performed at CF ...

aeroflott

I was close enough to see that Vinnie was very emotional as fans chanted for him. He really was appreciative of the support that was given. When the whole thing was over and he came down the row and shook everyone’s hand. He had tears in his eyes and a big smile on his face. HE clearly can still pl...

aeroflott

So it seems Vinnie was again miming along when other musicians were on stage, rather than playing with them. Much like the 90s conventions when we found out Vinnie's guitar was basically doing nothing, but he was on stage, and again, the other guitarists took the solos from the guy that previously ...

What's the story around the Boyz video?

aeroflott

Just an observation on the Gold Gin performance with Bruce and Ace that no one has mentioned before: Notice at the end of the Creatures Fest performance video at 1:05, how VV has stopped playing, and is pointing to Bruce and Ace during the breakdown part of Cold Gin, so he doesn't have to play durin...

A huge band that was DOA in 1982 And you are also confusing contracts. The horrible contract was the one that came about later. By the time they wanted him to sign that new deal, Creatures was done. Two of his songs were released as singles. Two were in the concert setlist. Not to mention the other...

aeroflott

So, with little information but big promises of "the show of shows" from Vinnie we hoped he would finally pull his finger out and show the world he was still valid and was still a viable musician. Well, he totally proved that he wasn't, and even as close as days before he was happy to pose with Nei...

This is also uncool: Vinnie signing.jpg It was announced to bring ANYTHING to get signed, bring whatever you want.......and then.....Vinnie did a Vinnie.....
