What do you think Vinnie's drug of choice was?

Post by holeripper »

I'm going to go with cocaine. Cocaine likely hindered his career more than anything.

I dont think drugs. He has a terrible sleep disorder a bit like jackson. He is a pill taker but only reports of drugs were pre kiss days. I really think its like of sleep and some sort of mania.

I can see how one would assume coke (paranoia, mood swings, an album titled Speedball Jamm, etc.). But I agree with Dino... I also believe Cusano's just a spoiled brat.

yeah all the symptoms but i just don't think. at least while in vvi i don't think. Maybe vvjunkie remembers something? I think he didnt like band members smoking pot but since vvi who knows if he changed.. i can not see how he could even get his hands on drugs in his isolated home.

I doubt Vinnie had a drug problem based on the sole fact that Gene would have spouted off about it very early on. Granted it would explain VV's personality and the fact he seems to piss away money like water.

I think all his problems stem from lack of being able to sleep. Also all band members of vvi including bobby said he was a big pill taker. But I think he was not a non prescription drug addict.
Many reported before kiss maybe but remember he was just a broke kid in his 20s before kiss.

From vvi band members and groupies. From what.they said sleeping pills and a lotbof others they didnt know. He had them in zip lock bags. Plesse note this is only info passed on to me and shouldn't be taken as fact. It was said that during lick it up tour he went days without sleep. Same on vvi tours.

He is still not sleeping. When on old dv board he would be posting 21 hours a day. 3 hours sleep a day seemed normal.

Coke or meth. His face definitely changed over time, like a meth user.

Vinnie actually looks pretty good today imo (unfortunately the mugshot is the only updated reference). He looks younger than 61 and better than Gene and Paul.

He should just trash the wig and grow out a badass goatee though...

Are you thinking of Mark St. John? Sadly, meth eventually did him in...

Caffeine.

Agree with PW. Vinnie'd look cool rockin the "pussy beard"!!!! :) (Van Dyke goatee)
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! :(

Thinking of Vinnie. Between the early 90's and now, he looks like he's gotten into meth. I mean he looks way worse than he should for his age.

In my opinion he would not do that. I think his main health issue is he can not sleep.
