The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Terrible!

His fans too took great advantage of him and used his fame to excel with their shady motives. He was hired by a fan, to design his signature guitar, that was later titled VV Guitar and was widely sold, only to benefit the investor. While Vinnie Vincent didn’t pay him a cent for his contribution.

Eh? Who hired who? Who didn't pay who? This makes no sense.

Vinnie Vincent reappeared on the news horizon in 2014, to auction his possessions and keepsakes. This is tragic to note, that the lead player who uplifted the struggling Kiss and eventually landed the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Vinnie landed Kiss into the R&R Hall of Fame?

They have no idea what are they writing about

Another crappy article on Vinnie. Why do people do this?

Not sure maybe he is just starting a blog and wants to have content or get the attention plus......most of the audience
does not know the details so they eat and swallow that "news" and that way myths are generated too.
Wouldn't surprise me if someone tells me 2 years from now that a " He was hired by a fan, to design his signature guitar, that was later titled VV Guitar and was widely sold, only to benefit the investor" and swears that is true !

Yeah, I bet there will be people that have no clue and believe crap like that cause they read it on the internet.

I was holding back a bit as I was didn't want to offend if it was written by someone on here. But by Christ, it's a poorly written piece. The whole thing is based around two "facts".

It's a great example of what the internet has become. Any idiot with an opinion can skim read something they read on a forum somewhere and regurgitate it (badly) and call it fact.

It's a shame; for whatever faults Vinnie may have had (and haven't we all?), he deserves a lot better than this tripe - or at the very least, a better written critique of his work. I don't mind reading about anyone that isn't very favourable towards them, so long as its well done and references credible sources. This is just badly written tittle tattle.

I have been at a point in recent years that I don't even bother with most articles written about Vinnie because of the tendency to focus on things that the writer couldn't possibly know the absolute truth about.
There comes a time when people need to grow a pair, grow up, be honest , be kind,etc...
It would be a great thing to have a few interviews that go for the throat(TRUTH).
Paul,Gene, and Vinnie sitting at a table and calling bullshit to each other's faces.
The same with VVI...

Yes!

If Mustaine and Metallica can make amends, anything is possible!!!

What a steaming pile of hot garbage! English isn't the writer's first language, the phrasing and choice of words are odd and the glaring amount of inaccuracies is appalling.
