VINNIE VINCENT
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT :

TO ALL VINNIE VINCENT FANS,
We have arrived at the crossroads of America's survival and our freedom, as we witness the firestorm of communism sweeping thru our country on brink of civil war. In less than 100 days we'll know whether we preserved our freedom and the America we love, or watch it vanish forever into darkness.

It is with this poignant historical setting that I have decided to bring us together for a very special event. On Oct 17, 18, 2020 VINNIE VINCENT, LET FREEDOM ROCK BASH will take place at SIR NASHVILLE.

I am rescheduling the VINNIE VINCENT INVASION 'BOYZ ARE GONNA ROCK' CONCERT
which was scheduled for August 8th and 9th to MARCH 2021 to allow for this special event to take place.

This DOCUMENTARY will be professionally filmed edited and released as a DVD set of these two very special days in October along a backdrop of America's fight for life and liberty.VINNIE VINCENT Performances will be filmed as they happen along with a filmed collage of guest interaction of the selected invited fans who will be immortalized forever on a first of its kind VINNIE VINCENT DVD. This will be an intimate party where every guest will be captured on film, their thoughts, opinions, voices, conversations, style and excitement against the backdrop of our culture at this tumultuous moment in history, less than one month before the most historical election in American history, all of which will intercut with the first Recorded and filmed VINNIE VINCENT LIVE PERFORMANCE since 1988. All captured forever in a time capsule of what will be October, 2020.
This very special LET FREEDOM ROCK BASH will be a catered affair with plenty of spirits available.

Its time to rock and feel good again. And most of all, A time to celebrate ourselves and what we believe in, which is AMERICA AND OUR FREEDOM TO LIVE THE LIFE WE WANT, AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT.

We know the man is not well, but c'mon.. firestorm of communism?

I have to agree with him, it's either going down the road of communism or corporatism. Neither of them any good.

I have to say...I was pleasantly surprised with Vinnie's political statement. I hope this get together happens and is a success for him.

What are you talking about? Biden is not a communist. Americans don't even know what communism is.

I wasn't aware of the (now "rescheduled") shows on August 8th and 9th.
Do you suppose this is just cover for those shows being canceled?
As usual, I'll believe it when I see it. Hope it happens though.

(strangely) as per usual, I think the August shows were kept quiet for the inner circle, because we all know it's terrible when too many people have the opportunity to give you money. Gee, what a headache that would be.

I can only imagine the burden on Paul and Gene as they arrange to play large venues that will hold the amount of people that want to come to a concert. Counting all that money, it's gotta be taxing on them, poor guys.

1. The bash is only for the inner circle
2. When I buy a DVD, i want to see something interesting. Inner circle members comments and videos have no interest
3. The cost of the DVD as always, might be too expensive

This is meant to be a decent DVD, it should be devoid of some of the folks that have attended these "inner circle" events in the past. It's supposed to be a pro production, which of course remains to be seen.

The price also remains to be seen, thanks for reminding us. It's in the lap of the gods as to what Vinnie might ask for such a disc.

Then again, I hope it's at least a Full HD Blu-ray disc, not a lowly standard resolution DVD, that is so 90's. Filming it in HD, then turning it into a crappy DVD.

DUDE!, Anything is better than nothing. Beggars? Choosers? Ya Know? It's been a long time between drinks since VV has committed 'playing' to a medium. I'd be happy purchasing a DVD @ a reasonable price.

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:27 am

Yeah, I hear ya buddy, I am being a choosy beggar. The price may still be a sticking point. I have a feeling that Vinnie is prepared to sell one $2000 DVD, vs thousands at the regular price.

Hi Dannii,
Great to hear from you! I hope that you and the girls are hanging in there as well as safe and happy. Here in Southern California the restaurants are only open for outside patio dining or take out which is not attractive right now as we are currently in a heat wave for the next week or so. It is funny the things that we can take for granted like going and sitting and being served a meal in a restaurant. GEEZ, let's find a cure before we are all bankrupt............ No theatres, No Bowling, No Bars, No Comedy Clubs, No Concerts. Going out is going to the grocery or hardware store LOL.

If he pulls it off successfully during corona - good.
If he actually (and finally) comes up with new musical product (dvd) - better.

I wouldn't bet on this bash happening, but I sure hope it happens!!! It would be about time. If only global situation would get better...

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:35 am

Yeah, let's hope it is able to go ahead. I don't know the situation over there, just how things are locally. Fingers crossed it can go ahead and the footage can be seen afterwards!!!

aeroflott · Post by **aeroflott** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:33 pm

Vinnie strikes me as a very cautious (maybe even paranoid?) individual, so I'm very surprised that "in person" events are even being considered by him right now.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Sep 05, 2020 3:29 pm

Welcome to the world of Vinnie, you never know how things will be!

This is next month now, getting closer....

Hey, this is meant to be happening this weekend.

Does anyone know if it's still going ahead? Is it just me or has news/info on this event been quiet?

WizKid · Post by **WizKid** » Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:57 am

It's still going ahead. I know a couple of people that are going to it.

That's good to hear. Look forward to news etc, along with the footage!

Man, I didn't even notice the watch. My observation skills are essentially zero.

Wow, yeah, that is some watch.

Glad Vinnie pulled this off during this insane time. Maximum respect to him. Just shows how falling out and dividing each other is such bullshit.
Hope he keeps this going.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 11:18 am

So we are hearing that Vinnie had a band and on day one they plaed material from the first Invasion album. It was incredible and Vinne played amazing solos.

Day 2 was an Eric Carr tribute day, with Vinnie playing with a band again (different band, wow), in makeup this time, going through KISS songs from his era, including one he's never played live before, interesting.

Then there was an acoustic request show as well.

This one mentions the food a little, but I have heard that the food wasn't great this time around compared to previously.

Crazy to hear he had two different backing bands, that's quite an acheivment.

And it was all filmed so eventually we should get to see what went down. Once we have it, we can apparently add Vinnie to the list of 80's shredders and hot guitarists that can still play. That will be good to see.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:34 pm

Along with the food being "terrible" I am hearing that there was no band and Vinnie played to backing tracks?

I'm not sure what's going on here, as only one of these situations can be true and if there is a DVD released then we will find out which is the truth.

If no DVD comes out it will be a fairly safe conclusion that there was no band, let alone two!!

pullitt · Post by **pullitt** » Mon Oct 26, 2020 1:51 am

Any additional details on how it went down? Thanks.

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Oct 26, 2020 10:31 am

I have heard that this event may end up with the tagline "shot on iPhone", as it was one guy and his phone "documenting" things.

I have also heard It may take a while to come out, but considering there is not multi-cameras and syncing to audio that needs to be done there is no reason the DVD can't be out this week. It would be a very simple editing process.

VikingVVFan · Post by **VikingVVFan** » Mon Nov 02, 2020 8:51 am

Did anyone ask him what's happening with all of his projects?
The mega boxset
The book
The new material
The Kiss stuff

I know it's only been like almost three years but still..

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:14 am

There hasn't been any word on those, or whether people asked about it. I'm guessing no as they are touchy subjects and these events are for only a few hardcore fans who are probably ok to ignore such elephants as these past promises from Vinnie.

If and when anything is released we will see the format and whether there was a Q&A type session.

VinnieFan · Post by **VinnieFan** » Wed Nov 04, 2020 2:31 pm

VINNIE is correct. There is a wave of communism in America and the Extreme Left are nut jobs. I work in the music industry and 90% of musicians are liberal freaks.
Kudos to VINNIE for stating the truth.
The music industry deserves every bit of pain and suffering because they follow a life of wanting to redistribute wealth.
Democrat states are the worst performing in the nation.... because they are locked down over Covid bullshit...I live in one of them.
I’m ready to change careers. I’m tired of being around communists.
Open up the country, open up your states or suffer.
Get on with it.

You’re winning me back over VINNIE!

VikingVVFan · Post by **VikingVVFan** » Sun Nov 15, 2020 8:55 am

Liberal communists?

I don't know but I don't think americans really knows what communism is.
I saw communism in DDR when I went there by boat from Sweden, several times.
They, and Poland, Hungary, Romania etc would be quite offended if their hell was even compared to the condition of USA today.

VinnieFan · Post by **VinnieFan** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 9:59 am

The entire music industry is fucked! Another 6 weeks of shutdowns will be detrimental. All clubs around the country are on borrowed time.
Leftists want the country shut down 4eva.
Total joke!

Agree. And yes Americans do know what communism is even if we haven't lived it. We have certainly moved toward the left over the past 30 years.

Thank you! Yes, we are definitely moving leftward in this country and it’s pathetic. I’m sorry to say but, one out of every two people you meet in this country is a Left wing liberal nut job. 1 out 1, when it comes to musicians, actors, people working in music industry and artists in general. I was surrounded by them. That’s one good thing about the phony pandemic...I was able to disassociate myself from these freaks! Look at how Paul Stanley is describing Trump supporters...
PAUL, I want all my money back from supporting you as a fan you fucking rich punk!

I know it's only been like almost three years but still..

The book has worked on for over a year. I know of 2 people involved. Vinnie has final say on direction of how he wants to tell his story, but he has a couple people involved. New material, well there are a few songs (not technically new) that haven't ever been released including on YouTube.. one is actually a country song. The vocalist who did the demo is actually a working lesson vocalist in California..
