The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

ankh

btw, i wrote an heartfelt message to mr Fleischman on his FB , sayng how much i've loved the whole thing, and he wrote back.Total class!! I would have loved to reach Vinnie with my message, but don't know how.Wrote to eddie trunk hoping he could forward my message, but i haven't heard from him since.

ankh

fitting and wonderful end, with moving speech from the man himself

ankh

part 2 explains a lot of things:

ankh

I completely agree, the interview was moving, for me. I also think that the way he is now, i mean happy and kind, can be a good example to many people. It takes a lot of courage to be in the public eye and speak in such an open and heartfelt way, especially when he speaks candidly about some of his ...

ankh

he sounds happy and positive.That's all matters to me.Best wishes, mr, Vincent.I would have liked to be there and shake your hand, but due to circumstances, i couldn't.

Sounds silly, watching him coming back in such good spirit helped me deal with the state of depression i'm in.

ankh

so Michael should attend no matter what, he could get at least a kick out of it

ankh

Gals n'guys, i wish all of you a great time there.For family and personal reasons, i can't attend.I would havre loved to meet all of you there. I agree with PB about the FB. However, to all the forumites, i would like to add you as friends on FB, if you agree, pelase send a pm so i can add you.I wou...

To Vinnie,ladies, gents and fellow VVforums members, Merry Christmas to all of you. My friends here are singing the proper song for such time: https://i.amz.mshcdn.com/1s5IcLxFQjAOsWLQgVI9cEQSgfU=/1200x627/2012%2F12%2F18%2Fb4%2Fmuppetschri.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIUBj844wLQ a Special qu...

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

ankh

Thanks for posting their reply.It validates much more the opinion i have about their podcasts.And,no, isn't biased by the fact that i like vinnie's music,simply on the way they behave when they are "on air".

ankh

as much as mudslinging causes debate and therefore interest, i think form a PR point of view is much wiser to take the high road and not partake in any sort of drama.Especially in public. Kiss seems to still be very old school about it, and try to gain attention wiht controversy.Yet, since those are...

ankh

Kudos to Vinnie for such a classy and polite answer. Answering in such clever, polite yet assertive way was the perfect stroke to Chaim's cranky and regurgitated clichès. Funny how Ol' Geno is so happy about the new lineup yet he spends most of the time speaking of the past,beating the same ol dead ...

ankh

In this article, Gene makes references to other people too, but aknowledges Vinnie's talent.As usual, says things ina way tha t wil cause controversy and therefore gives himself more visibility.Any press is goos press,and smut sells. He simply prefer to work with people who follow his leads,that's a...

ankh

Once again,miss ya, mr. Caravello!

ankh

He will be missed.Great player,no nonsense and no primadonna syndrome in his interviews.

ankh

Michael described the Whole story on his website in the past, full of details, but it is nowhere to be found now, it seems.

At the time, according to Enfer magazine, Kiss asked to kevin carlson, Mick mars and jack starr, but they were turned down.

ankh

originally, "LND" was called "when a legend dies"and,if i'm not mistaken, was intended for "the elder".

Saint'n sinner is an ok song lifted by the cool drum Groove.

ankh

record production changed according to times and also trends.

there was a debate about the LIU drum sound was sampled from Quiet riot's "mental health"

ankh

Michael Ray began playing the guitar at the age of 11, after seeing Jimi Hendrix performing in a Woodstock documentary film. He immediately began hounding his parents to buy him a Fender Stratocaster guitar, and when they relented and got it for him, Michael began teaching himself to play the guitar...

ankh

Michael ray also auditioned for the band twice, in different occasions,and paul seemd to like his playng, but ray had a contract with Rod Swenson, so nothing came out of it. If i'm correct, Vinnie wrote that song, Michael handled all the leads except on "Bump and Grind" and "it's my life". Still pre...

ankh

Having both the VG8 and the variax, i've noticed that piezo gives you a faster attack and sometimes this isn't good for electric guitars( at least the ones that are sampled in the line 6).For electric guitars simulation, the gk2 gives you a response human ear is more accustomed to. yep, shram, that...

ankh

....or you can purchase this:

and choose among those options:

trust me............it works

ankh

then you can have the pu cover Painted the same way as the body,or traspalnt a variax 300 hardware into a les paul copy and having it Painted like swiss cheese. Or you can do this: http://i.imgur.com/NlXQU1t.jpg of course, such guitars are meant to be played with those: http://www.tinaspicks.com/upl...

I should take alook at the guitar in question, to give a good advice, but i try anyway........... you could do somehting like this: http://www.guitarmaker.de/Images/7stringmidnightblue1100.jpg Please not that the sky guitar has a very powerful preamp with insane amount of clean boost You can also tr...

ankh

yeah, at the time, the mainstream music press named kiss only barely and not in nice terms.In my country there was a bit more coverage because of the san remo festival. Only one shop in my city used to get kerrang! every few weeks, it came with the lastest record releases.In fact, the first issue ì'...

ankh

Genebaby, the Marshall stuff is very ,very good.Maiden and leppard still use them.The Marshall JFX1 you've mentioned is also good, but didn't get too much credit.
tukoztukoz, Eventide was one of the effects brands listed during the recording session of the VVI albums, probably the H3000.

ankh

that thing is wonderful.It takes a bit to learn how to program it properly.

ankh

the main issue was the big Polygram contract Kiss signed on a few days ealier, a multimillion deal. What came out of it was the Elder fiasco.It took months and lot of money to record it and that,plus the fact that the record-difficult to promote in the usual kiss audience-tanked, already put a rift ...

ankh

there were a few items i was looking for and, after some hunt, i've found them: ROLAND GP8 Weird choice, but it has some nice sounds.Reason for purchase was chasing a certain Mike Oldfield sound.Even when MO played with a whole orchestra, the other guitar players(there were like four of them) had no...

ankh

both way cool. AnkhWarrior,the makeup really makes the green of your eyes stand out(if i'm correct). Thanks! My eyes are actually gray with a bit of green around the pupil majority of the time; but sometimes they can look like a off green color. yes, in this pic probably the camera was influenced b...

ankh

Thanks everyone. I actually had the Ankh Warrior neck band and guitar strap going on the but the big ass wig covered it up (look more like Tom Araya of Slayer.) Really had no way of making the Ankh Warrior vest so instead opted for over-sized Ankh necklace to compensate. I think the knee cover thin...

ankh

both way cool.
AnkhWarrior,the makeup really makes the green of your eyes stand out(if i'm correct).
Hummarstra,well done, so nice.Loved the costume as well, straight to the point.Cool that people got a kick out of it.
Dressing as Vinnie? I did, look at my current AV

ankh

PB, you're right it is irritating, especially in this occasion where it kills the attack. I sometimes like to kill the attack when i want to simulate some intruments,or i love the way Mike Oldfiled used in in certain old songs of his(non the PapPop he enjoys to play now...............) just a snippe...

ankh

would be so nice to hear what Vinnie really likes to play outisde the music and the style associated with his VV persona..........

ankh

Yeah, Blackmore never found the middle pickup useful,so no need for it both on his instruments and the signatures.
Are just my ears or the sound of that guitar was heavily compressed?

ankh

yeah, it sounds very, very nice.Better thna the Polytone.I owned one and i didn't like it at all.PLus,The OD channell was garbage. Other SS amps that sound good are the award session amps, the Music man(technically, it is a hybrid), some 80's gallien Krueger(think Rush and late 80's iron maiden) and...

ankh

lol, totally agree!

ankh

i think the pic doesn't pay justice to the quality of the wood, prolly it will look and sound better in RL.
