Did you guys know that the Revenge title was Vinnie's idea ?
Kiss was tempted to use "Guitars from Hell" as well
I guess KISS is always HOT for Vinnie's ideas !!!

too bad things didn't work out after the 90s. I still have no idea why he didn't write for other bands. I can think of many big bands that would have certainly benefited from his writing... David Lee Roth, Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Ozzy for starters. I still think Vinnie would have been a perfect match for Coverdale's vocals.
at least we all know just how talented v was and thats based on not much material. I hope vinnie sees that we just admire his skills. even if most of us seem to be his enemies, he should take comfort that we all know he was the best at what he did and not many people know that. too bad we all can not join vinnie in a private forum and find some common ground so we can all fully support him once more. Most of us defended him tooth and nail and its such a shame something got broken. It would be especially of interest to vinnie to get his best fans back on side.

I still can't figure out if Vinnie thinks too much of himself or too little.
Even a anal perfectionist like Eric Johnson finally said FUCK IT and had to start releasing product.He just started enjoying his playing more as did his audience. The perfectionist angle is BORING. Loosen up.

as for Robben Ford, I think that Vinnie only played on Gene's tunes.. I think Paul used other players. Don't forget Vinnie wasn't in the band then, and from what I hear Gene was the guy pushing for Vinnie. It seems as if Gene was closer to Vinnie during Creatures and maybe Paul got a little closer during Lick it up, but with the Exciter thing it seems like Paul still wanted to make sure Vinnie was put in his place. I suppose you can see both Kiss and Vinnie's sides of the stories. Unless you were their its really impossible to know what the hell happened. Its clear Kiss were struggling and somehow Vinnie's tune Lick it up saved them. A guy that played with him in high school said that most of the Lick it up tune was Vinnie's and he had written elements when he was very young, not sure how true it was.

Paul really does seem to be a prissy bitch behind the scenes. It's either his way or he won't do it. Paul's jealousy seems to be easily triggered.
A friend of mine was Kiss' tour manager about 6 or 7 years ago and supposedly fucked one of Paul's groupies. Paul was a whining baby and there seems to still exist resentment from Paul at my friend for this. Paul holds grudges for a long time it seems.

bryan adams will tell you. Kiss basically took your tunes and added their names to them as songwriting credits even if they had nothing to do with them. They basically said take it or leave it. but if you join a band like that you just have to shut up and get on with it and hope that the longer you are in the band the more say you would have.
Lots has been said about Eric Carr, but his family actually said Eric was replaced while he was sick (and not too sick), he was even asking around if any bands wanted a new drummer. Not many people know that but I really think he was fired in some way after hot in the shade. I know he nearly left the band over 'little ceaser' because they were not going to put it on the album and they promised him one song on the record. I also have an interview when Eric in a small way bad mouthed Kiss.. I know Gene said he never said anything bad but he did open his mouth once at least.

We have heard so much RUMOR of the Eric ordeal that it becomes fact when you read between the lines of what Paul and Gene tell the media.
Eric got fucked.Like I've said before, I believe that Eric and Vinnie's sense of humor were similar. Eric was just more apt to cower to P&G . Vinnie stood up to them. Gene probably respected that at the time where Paul acts like a bitch and whines to Gene in order to get his way.
No wonder Gene was ABSENT from Kiss for many years after Vinnie's departure and only showed a renewed interest when Vinnie returned for "Revenge".

I believe that ace has said on many occasions that when eric was in the hospital gene an paul pulled his medical insurance so they wouldnt have to pay out the money....thats saddoublev wrote:bryan adams will tell you.

I'll dig out an "Australian Kiss Crazy Knights" fanclub newsletter that printed a letter from Eric's family asking Gene to release Eric's "Rockheads" stuff back to them and I'll post it. This was back in 96' and I still have no idea if he ever gave it back to them?
