Post by metatron »

Sounds from the Howard Stern show;
Gene Simmons states in this 2001 interview that Vinnie was the most talented of all the replacement members of Kiss.

I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

8 songs on LIU!!!

Also, Gene called Vinnie a "full member"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

I Heard,,,,(writtings on bath room walls) that he had a HUGE member....LOL!


Yes, Gene does say that, 'FULL MEMBER'. The plot thickens once again.

This is one of very few cases that I would agree with Gene.
Yes, Vinnie was the most talented member KISS ever had, so much more than Gene and Paul combined.

A threat to the "KISS aristocracy" perhaps?

And yes..."full member"...oops!

Thanks for the bite~

errr. vinnie was talented but no i disagree. vinnie could never have started a band as big as kiss. he proved that he could barely run his own band. no threat to gene what so ever.

yes he was amazing but he couldn't keep it going. he has only written about 15 tunes that were recorded after he left kiss.

Cool Kevin... I just thought it sounded like Howard at the end talking. At least we know it's from a confirmed source & not made up. Gene spoke the words....
I'll give Gene credit for being so brutally honest.

My conviction is made for a long time, is it saying problem Vinnie and especially of has Paul!
Gene monopolized by his activities extra Kiss left the ship leader has Paul and that this felt in position of weakness face has a composer who was his equal, who musically agreed as well has Gene that he and it was the first time when Paul felt in danger!

Neither Ni Ace or nor Peter, Nor Eric or nor Bruce not one never worried, he was above, not with Vinnie! And I am persuaded, Paul was afraid, even on scene, he was not any more the star, the one that we look at and the it is the heart of the " problem Vinnie "

i think actually all 4 members on lick it up tour were struggling personally. i always wondered why they just didn't work with vv as a songwriter if they didn't care for him. I am sure vv would have been happy to write the lick it up album without being a member.

i am obviously happy he was a member. I think Paul and Gene decided to put up with all the shit because they knew VV was a real talent it was like a give and take thing.
