he got truly upstaged when ace played the bulk of rocket ride while staring at gene

if he woulda played "do ya" or somethin else from his solo bands, gene wouldnt have known the first note to play

No wonder Ace left the band.

"What was it like being Vinnies techy..?"

"He used to yell at me alot."

Time to retire perhaps?

Fair enough.

Portillo

Dimebag was awesome. A little underrated even, but a great solo and riff artist.

Portillo

Did VInnie ever get a magazine cover? Just him not with Kiss?

Portillo

Marty freidman as well noted ace as an inspiration. Along with Eddie Van Halen, Kiss' Ace Frehley inspired numerous up-and-coming rockers to pick up the guitar in the 1970s -- and come the '90s, was listed by just about every contemporary rock guitarist (Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, Pearl Jam's Mike M...

Thats awesome.

Portillo

That may be true, but many guitarists on those lists, list Ace as an inspiration, like Dimebag from Pantera and Scott Ian from Anthrax. Both were inspired to pick up the guitar after seeing Kiss.

Portillo

He could have continued a solo career if didnt want to deal with Gene and Paul. He could have recorded in his own studio if he didnt want to deal with the mainstream music industry. He could have continued playing guitar. Former NFL player Hershel Walker was born overweight and with a speech impedim...

Michael Jackson also said that "They're trying to kill me". Is the illuminati after Vinnie aswell?

Portillo

Its Gene and Pauls band and they can do anything they want with it.

Frehleys Comet.

Happy new year. Even though being a fan of VInnie is one of the most frustrating things, this forum makes it fun.

Portillo

Gene said that before a show he walked to the ticket booth, bought a ticket, walked through the arena, through the fans, went backstage and noone noticed him.

Portillo

Nothing and less than nothing.

I dont know about that. But the selling guitars thing that Vinnie was doing sounds pretty silly.

Portillo

When I saw that video ages ago, I was more worried at the shenanigans that Vinnie was doing to the fans. Which was mentioned by Paul I think.

Portillo

Great research everyone. Nevertheless, if Randy had lived he would most likely have made many more albums.

Portillo

At least Yngwie releases albums.

Portillo

Funny how Randy died at 25 and yet released more material than Vinnie.

Portillo

If Vinnie would have stuck it out, they probably would have given him more freedom later. Didnt they encourage Ace to sing on some songs, because he didnt want to?

Portillo

Not every band is instantly successful. Vinnie could have built up the Invasion album by album and eventually become successful.

Portillo

But Vinnie is a crap guitarist now.

Portillo

This Vinnie Vincent kid is going places. The dude can shred.

Portillo

"I was so honored to be asked," he says proudly. "The last person they put a guitar out for was Randy Rhoads. They wanted to do a campaign with me. When I told Gene and Paul they said, very bluntly: 'Why should we let you be a star in your own right when that way you can walk out on. us any time yo...

Portillo

I would have gladly become Gene and Pauls employee.

Gene is a winner.

Even though Im not a comic book nerd, I do enjoy Archie comics and have a pretty large collection of them.

Vinnie is just plain weird.

Portillo

If only Vinnie would come here and talk to his diehard fans, discuss the good old times, what he has been upto etc.

Portillo

What happened between you and KISS / Why did you leave the band? http://www.kissfaq.com/multimedia/audio/vinnie86int_1.mp3 Did you depart friends with the band? http://www.kissfaq.com/multimedia/audio/vinnie86int_2.mp3 How did you first meet up with KISS? http://www.kissfaq.com/multimedia/audio/vinn...

Portillo

Too bad Vinnie didnt take his own advice to keep rocking.

Portillo

Did you buy the toilet paper?

Portillo

Availability is spelt wrong.

I thought the cologne and perfume sold well?

Portillo

Vinnies gonna sue, gonna sue, gonna sue.

Portillo

Definately a great idea if he opened up his own official Vinnie Vincent merchandise online store. Maybe even an ebay account. But the way he is Im sure he would stuff the whole thing up.

Portillo

doublev2 wrote:Obviously vinnie hasnt got it in him anymore. When he was talking of releasing stuff it was all old stuff. I think the magic has gone. He is still chatting to a few fans but thats about it

Time makes fools of us all. Especially Vinnie.

Portillo

The biggest waste of talent in the history of rock n roll?

Yeah and it would have stirred a lot of interest in vinnie. I am sure the rr v helped created randy as a legend. I remember being 12 years old and walking into a guitar store seeing the rr v for the first time and having no Idea who he was and instantly set out to find out about him. Vinnie would b...
