The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

A cool reminder that there was more than the original four in makeup that made Kiss special.

Yeah. But 2 will always be low paid glorified hired hands.

That makeup shot of Vinnie is da bomb! Looks effin cool as!

Yeah, great picture!

Their best line-up IMHO

Yes, the original lineup had a "raw" magic but this lineup was like a fukn machine!

Vv just had that something that took it over the edge. Why did he quit?

Cause that very "something" is what took HIM over the edge unfortunately...

yes you are right.. maybe without his unique ways he would not have been the musician he was.

Unique is one way to put it.

Idc what anyone says, Vinnie's makeup was by far the best, and stood out from the rest )

Yes I agree Jessica.
Vinnies Ankh Makeup was and is pretty special.
Vinnie really looked the part.
"Rock God !"

I'm one of the few (if any) that thinks the ankh and fox make ups looked more natural than the space and cat ones... Both the space and cat designs were really busy while the ankh and fox were a bit more streamlined.

Mhm. It irritates me when I come across other message boards and people talk smack about Vinnie, saying his makeup was 'silly' and didn't fit in with KISS. Then perhaps they should go complain to Paul, since he was the one who created it Vinnie is special and he stands out, so he deserved a makeup style that went along with that!

Vinnie's makeup persona was very mystical and scared the shit out of you without having someone spit blood and make faces at you.

damn, A Million To One, Not For The Innocent, etc. would've been so cool played live in full makeup and regalia...

... actually it would've been cool if they'd played those songs live period.

I was born too late D: i missed out big time

Paul did a good A Million To One on his last solo tour. Also Magic Touch.
