i seriously want to find Vinnie
I live in Tennessee and really want to find this guy. Iam a huge fan and believe I live within a few miles of him. If I did find and approach him does anyone know how he might act? I'd be willing to pay him money to basically hang out or sign some vintage VV merchandise. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or is this just a bad/dangerous idea. I dont want to freak him out/stalk him but I'd really like to even just see him in person.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Ain't gonna happen, I'd hazard a guess! Great if Vinnie would come back out of the shadows but that's up to him to decide. Not anyone's business but his to re-appear. We'll keep hoping though!
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!

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
i've lived one town over from him for awhile but found out to late. I've heard rumors of him being in Murfreesboro. I feel like I have to try. Im so close by proximity that it seems like I should at least try! He is Vinnie Vincent after all!
Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
He Freaks out if you try to find him personally. Thinks people are dangerous. The only option you have is contact his attorney in murfreesboro or the one on clarkesville and propose a meeting. I guess if you offered a certain amount of money and a budo guard for vv it may happen. He is low on cash so cash is king. Also try his email from his site or youtube account
Bye Bye
Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Some people have been told where he is but I have no confirmation. I thought murfreesboro, nolansville or Brentwood but I don't want to guess if not confirmed
Bye Bye

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Hope you find him and IF you talk to him personally, i really hope he understands that
joking aside and everything, we love him and we want the best for him and his point of view
of everything is what's wrong, we could set him up with a big team of friends waiting to see him
back in action in the spotlight, recording studio, musicians, designers all backing him up as his new team
to kick ass again. Never is too late, a re-recorded farewell album of his best tunes with him on vocals
and a goodbye statement if he wants to retire would be really nice and we would all celebrate in peace.
Peace and Love to Vinnie wherever he is !

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
He feels safer going through his lawyers. Maybe a dinner for 700 bucks would do it.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Nah - I would just leave him alone.
Nothing good can come of it would be my guess.
He doesn't want to be found so I would leave him to that.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
I figured if he's low on cash then he couldn't of gone to far from smyrna. There are a few dives around the boro that I want to check out. Im afraid that even if i did find him he wouldn't react well :/ thats really the sad part. I think If I can find him or maybe where he's staying ill set up my amp near-ish and just start jamming boyz are gonna rock with my carvin V....itll either scare the shit out of him or he'll get a good laugh. I really dont want to contact any lawyers.. lawyers scare me the way most of us probably scare Vinnie (unfortunately). I really wish I didnt feel like a stalker here cause Im not! ...But i gotta try and find Vinnie!

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Just leave him alone, you only verify his fears if you go all Dog The bounty hunter. And I can pretty much guarantee you can't afford what he would charge for a personal meeting.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Not really. I have a custom DC200 and a vintage 88 or 89 ultra V both left handed. Im afraid youre probably right about not being able to afford a meeting. I'd pay a couple hundred but couldn't do much more.. I know someone who met him years ago when he was working on demos in nashville...said he's pretty burnt out..mumbles alot. Im not dog the bounty hunter I just want my vintage Vinnie Vincent Invasion tab book signed by the main man himself. And to maybe tell him he rawks harder than all. and maybe try and get a hug....

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
I dunno..but it came from a pretty good source, a pro Nashville musician for like 30 years. I assume from long term drug abuse or possible medical issues. Strokes have been rumored on this site.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
and I just tried emailing him through his website Vinnievincentmodelguitars.com and the email it provides doesn't work....damn
Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
I spoke with him on the phone on 2010 and he sounded exactly the same. No mumbling. He had lots of energy too. I am telling you no stroke unless it happened since.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
good! i hope his health is fantastic! May I ask how you spoke to him on the phone doublev2? are you in the music business aswell? or personal connections?
i seriously want to find Vinnie
Rick I think someone said his face on the mugshot looked like he had a stoke.
I will also say he was in communication with an ex member here and they were friendly however when he tried to hand a letter to his wife outside their house a few days later the guy got a court order and ended up with a restraining order. He does not like surprise fans popping up even if he chats all the time on the internet to people.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
I gave him VinnieVincent.com and set up a 3 way with his lawyer mark (who I had spoken to for a while before about giving vv the domain) and vv. We talked for like 30 minutes plus. He was very nice but obviously he wanted something.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
very cool about the website and chatting with him. Im envious! I dont want to freak the man out...Im just a guitarist who thinks he's some sort of fusion/shred god that to few people know about. All my fascination really has to do with his guitar playing skills. Not KISS. I happen to have a degree in guitar performance and just think Vinnie is a genius..I've met (briefly) some of the best guitarist in the world...Vai, Matt Palmer, Vieaux, Shawn Purcell, hopefully Tony Maclapine later this month..but Vinnie...no one sounds or plays like Vinnie. Unbelievably unique player. Its all about his insane guitar skills for me. Which leads me to another question: can he still play like he used to? cause if so...

Just pointing out that there was no RUMOR. There may have been a comment.

Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
sorry about that. My misunderstanding.
Re: i seriously want to find Vinnie
Don't let us put you off. Just letting you know. Best thing is to email him and if no answer try his lawyer. I think as always he will be nice at first.
