Location of Guitar picks

Post by poserboy71 »

A little something trivial and unimportant for everyone. I noticed how Vinnie had his guitar picks stuck to the upper wing for live performances while in Kiss :

except on the Charvel Strat of course:

Yet with the Invasion, he placed them on the lower wing (and also the headstock):

I wonder why he changed. The guitar seems to be at the same height and it was basically the same body shape.
Silly curiousity.

In my heart, I would like to believe that Vinnie was joking with and baiting us with the $1,000.00 guitar pick comment.
My heart keeps me here but my head tells me to change heroes.

FUCK MY HEART!!!

His face adorns one of my personal favorite t-shirts. The back says, "If I only had a heart."

i always thought it was due to the speed of his playing as he got faster in VVI than he was allowed to in Kiss.

Vinnie's arm didn't flail wildly when he picked faster so I don't know how true that can be. During Kiss' live shows , he was jamming some hardcore licks in.
