The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

They should have got absolutely EVERYTHING together and ready (and realistic) and done Vinnie's re-emergance this year and NAMM in 2012.

It may have been longer to wait for SOMETHING, but better than what is happening.

syncophile42

True, but it's still a fake.

I can understand buying the model that your hero uses/used (and do what you like with it), but to spend a fortune faking it's condition is beyond me.

syncophile42

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

syncophile42

Dunno, gut feel, they can't have gone to all this trouble (and this can't be the end of it) being so completely naive - there must be more to it.

syncophile42

I think they will sell some (SHOCK!) if that's the real intention, despite what an amateurish shambles the whole thing seems at the moment, there must be more to this than meets the eye.

syncophile42

I really don't get the 'with all the nicks and scratches' thing that they do these days. Waste of money IMO, I'd much rather have a pristine original of what my hero(s) play.

(Look! Mine has a burn on the neck just like Eddie's, but mine's fake!

wow

)

How to make one of these guitars APPRECIATE in value: 1. Buy one (watch its value plummet). 2. Take it to a Kiss concert 3. Get Paul Stanley to smash it onstage and throw it back to you in the audience. 4. Ideally get Paul to sign his handywork backstage. 5. Post clip on internet and watch the Kiss ...

syncophile42

second catalog? why? maybe if they get the bass and double neck together. OR could it be the chinese cheaper version. I don't think that will happen. I am totally unsure of what the plans are.. I suppose V is thinking these things will be for sale for a long time. Who know, but if they are thinking...

syncophile42

I took this to mean a video catalogue this year and next - 2 catalogues. I'm being optamistic.

syncophile42

(2) VIDEO CATALOGS PLANNED - 2011, 2012.

Not heard of it before, do you get many guitars built from it, all custom jobs I presume?

video catalogue now "APRIL-DEC", whatever that means.

Talking of wood do we know what wood(s) the VVMG is made from?

Cool, thanks, are there any pics knocking around of the Charvel he made from parts?

syncophile42

From all this pantomime going on, it's kind of obvious he wanted to do NAMM, was nowhere near ready but didn't want to wait another year.

Shame, I hope it all comes together though.

syncophile42

What is that guitar he is pictured playing on the Creatures tour at 0:27 it's HORRIBLE!?!?!?!

And what is the one before at 0:25?

syncophile42

COMMINICATION VINNIE! AT LEAST GET SOMEONE TO HANDLE YOUR COMMINICATION VINNIE, FOR ****'S SAKE!

Said positively.

syncophile42

well thats the current situation. If its still going a head its strange to close the only media source that VV has been using. Please not I have speculated all this from evidence and gut feeling, but who knows. Absolutely, and I'm not doubting your integrity; you probably have more insight than mos...

syncophile42

You have heard from Tom?

If this is the end of this chapter, then I too hope that he can go back to the music and find some way to give the world some more of what he is genius at.

syncophile42

This is nuts. To summarise, : Vinnie apparently agrees to release his signature guitar and releases a trailer on Youtube. For six months he makes no announcements or communications. His luthier is silenced. NAMM posts details of a display booth for the guitars. At the 11th hour, details of NAMM, lit...

syncophile42

...or, as Dino has said before, this stuff on youtube was all spin - not uncommon in sales.

syncophile42

Most here seem to agree the guitars are stunning, as you would expect from a custom shop, with a few niggles over the details. Personally, I can't decide which to get, so I think I'll get the gold leaf for over the mantelpiece, the pink for the bathroom, the white to eat breakfast off and the silver...

syncophile42

Didn't see that bit, stopped reading as I thought it was all the same.

Interesting...

syncophile42

I very much doubt that Vinnie will show at NAMM now. He has been away for a long time and has a lot of questions to answer, his first appearence won't be there as he wouldn't have control; he wants the guitar to be centre stage, not have attention diverted by his sudden apperance. If he had surfaced...

syncophile42

I see they have changed it to "DAY 1 and 2" now - no holding them back!

syncophile42

This is really good news. All credit to Vinnie and his 'few' for getting his guitars out there. I sincerely hope he achieves his goals (though not at the expense of others) and that his fans will be a part of, and benefit from them, whatever they are. I don't really understand what he is doing, perh...

syncophile42

He will be there with the stunning guitars, which he will be domo-ing. There will be free signed catalogues and fliers to take away. He will be talking openly and honestly to anyone who has anything to ask and he will be selling signed copies of a double cd; one disc, complete final mixes of all the...

syncophile42

That's good news, makes sense. Maybe in the future we could collaborate further, contributing our images to the website repository; and elsewhere where a site is more appropriate than a forum? (Don't know how it might work though!)

syncophile42

There is an update today on the news page saying their FORUM is active!!

http://www.vinnie-vincent.com/vdiscuss/

Looks like competition, or maybe we should join forces somehow?

syncophile42

Ah, I see, cool, but I'd better not mention cricket any more at the moment...

I am still interested in what the theory of showing at namm is. Maybe they are looking for a deal to be made with a retailer. Me too. Assuming they want to sell more than a couple of units to die-hard fans (! like the ones he's alienated himself from on the forums !), I agree they need some form of...

syncophile42

I don't mind - I'm usually lucky if I get to 1 show!

But I do agree that the band and crew should be capable enough to mix it up a little bit.

Colin, He has said it to us with his actions. I know but I can't believe he's that malicious, I really think there must be more to it than meets the eye. Perhaps I'm not as clued up with all that has been going on as some, or maybe have too much faith in people in general, but that's the only concl...

[ This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read, I must have missed this quote, did VV really write that? Oh nonono. I think he meant, like, that's what Vinnie is saying to himself. Spot on WarMachine ...you r a very clever little cookie. Very impressed. Sorry Dannii, I was being a bit ...

syncophile42

Yeah, anything he feels comfortable with to start, so long as it's honest and shows a little respect, as his fans show respect to him.

syncophile42

Oh ok.
But if that is along the lines of what he feels, it's very sad, he's beating himself up.

It's very hard to help someone who doesn't want help (for whatever reason).

'See guys you are bad...you deserved me ripping you off on those box sets...it's all your fault I'm no releasing any new music out...bad fans, bad...you must be punished'. This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read, I must have missed this quote, did VV really write that? He really i...

syncophile42

Trying to see through Vinnie's eyes, does he want to come back at all? What does he want? I share the sentiments in this thread, but perhaps if he wants to come back the best thing he can do is to stop anguishing over the likes of this (and the other) forum and just get on with it. He will probably ...

syncophile42

Van Halen, now we're talking. Pretty much agree with everthing so far, except I don't really get on with Hagar or Cherone's voices which sound similar to me. I love the way the first 6 albums sound so haphazzard in a 'no really, we know exactly what we are doing - see?' kind of way. Eddie's playing ...

I couldn't agree more, he was so fluid and inspired, a true legend.

Has anyone seen this :

http://www.kissfaq.com/KissFAQ-wiki/ind ... ie_Vincent

There is a lot of info in it, does anyone know how accurate it is or who wrote it?

syncophile42

Absolutely, but can people really know what they are getting into and how it is going to affect them? I doubt it.

And everyone has their own adgenda and way of dealing with things, and things change in and out of our control, receipe for disaster really.

We're all all human, well most of you are!

You don’t give up your right to privacy because you are in the public eye, sure the public and media will be invasive but the relationship generally feeds itself. In each case some kind of equilibrium is reached within limits and everyone is happy. It’s only when something dramatically changes, like...

Hello again, my name is Colin. My username is kind of made up. I derived it from the musical meaning of syncopate or syncopation – to displace beats or accents – and stuck ‘…hile’ on it to mean one who loves the dynamics of music and rhythm. The 42 is the answer to the meaning of life the universe a...

Hi all,

I was a mute member of the last forum and have dipped in and out of this one for a while – good to be in properly.

I’ve just left a ridiculously long post in the critics corner of VVI that I felt the urge to write – got a bit carried away – hope you enjoy it.

syncophile42

I know that much of this has been said before, and many will disagree with some of it, but for what it’s worth here are my thoughts about the first Vinnie Vincent Invasion album nearly 25 years after it was recorded. First of all some background. As a teenager listening to the radio and watching mus...
