Straight from the VV for Oz fans

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 5:53 am

So I posed a question on Facebook on Vinnie Facebook page about him attending and events in Australia. Got this response.... Anyone know what this could be ?

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:19 am

Wow, wow, I never thought that he might come to Australia, but super awesome and cool if he does.

Hopefully it's just a matter of time and he'll be here for something.

Well done on asking the question.

A few Aussies have posted on VV page. So wondering if anyone has any inside info. If this does happen it will be epic

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 8:29 am

Just about everyone wants to visit Australia, so it would be great if there was an opportunity here for Vinnie to do so.

I do wonder what it would take. Would he come for a series of guitar clinics like Bruce has done in the past? Maybe some live shows too?

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 9:28 am

He is booked in for alot of horror Con type expos in US rather than kiss related stuff. A guitar clinic would be awesome but not sure he would jump into that just yet. Would be interested to see him rip out the pink Jackson.

Excited for my pals Down Under !

Australia is great, for sure I'm on board with that, ha ha, but there is a big bad world out there.

I'm sure Vinnie would go down a treat in Europe!!

The world is Vinnie's mollusc of choice.

Not the nuclear meltdown sound.

Not when an American is giving a demonstration and the room is quiet, and it starts blaring loudly.

Yes, you get a very "concerned" artist, looking for an exit point.

I'll never forget it.

Interestingly enough, if August does happen Gene will be in Australia as well, towards the end of the month.

Randy (Vinnie's manager) worked with PC so it isn't out of the realms of possibility.

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Sat Apr 28, 2018 6:28 pm

August 10-15. Vinnie will be in Australia. Straight from Vinnie himself in message to me. Not announced online no details just yet. This is a goer peeps ......so excited

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Apr 29, 2018 6:54 am

Thanks, good to know, can start thinking and planning.

Will be good when he can confirm what he'll be doing.

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Sun Apr 29, 2018 7:44 am

Yep I guess the announcement will be made on his Facebook page.

Anyone know details of the kiss konvention in Jan 2019?.. there was rumour and post from Vinnie about August but now appears this may have been Postponed.... Bummed we have to wait so long

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon May 21, 2018 5:02 pm

What's going on?

Last I heard from Vinnie, not long ago, was Austraila in August was still on the cards.

metatron · Post by **metatron** » Mon May 21, 2018 6:06 pm

I heard this from others in Australia who don't partake in this forum. So something is cooking.

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Mon May 21, 2018 6:51 pm

Its a go with something... But looks like it's a kiss konvention in Jan 2019 . as of a week ago it was still august. See message - Or maybe it's different promoter?...who knows... January is along wait

Post by **Genebaby** » Mon May 21, 2018 9:03 pm

Well, as long as SOMETHING happens here, that will be "Killer"!!!

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Tue May 22, 2018 6:37 am

Oh it's happening.... Australian kiss army tour page just has a pic of Vinnie which says all systems go... I take that as an affirmative... Also see link...

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Tue May 22, 2018 8:09 am

January is good for me!

Post by **Genebaby** » Tue May 22, 2018 9:22 am

This Konvention will be in January sometime.

I can't find a pic of Vinnie there though.

They are spruking a special guest, but there is no pink so I'm not sure it's Vinnie.

El3ktra · Post by **El3ktra** » Tue May 22, 2018 11:32 am

No the pic was here

Ah, different page, I only went to the Konvention link.

That Tour Page is pretty cryptic....I wonder who runs it?

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:18 pm

I'm not holding my breath for this anymore.

No idea now when and if Vinnie would come to Australia, as awesome and handy as that would be.

And I must ask this...
It is said Vinnie does not fly. Does that mean at all or he will only if he has no other choice?
And with going to Australia...is there any way there other than going by plane? Or are there other options? My geography isn't so good!

Kuron · Post by **Kuron** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 4:40 am

I can't imagine flying to Australia. That is probably around a 20 hour flight. I can't imagine how boring a flight that long must be.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 7:12 am

It's about 13hrs to LAX from Sydney, then you go from there.

I din't think there are any single flights that are 20hrs except a new one I heard that is from England to Perth that they are trying out.

Vinnie doesn't like flying, but he said a few times he was coming, and he's been around the world before, with KISS and with some 90's expos.

Kuron · Post by **Kuron** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 7:32 am

Add another 3-4 hours for Vinnie to get to LAX. There is also a direct from Sydney to Dallas. Vinnie should be well-received in Oz.

Post by **Genebaby** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:27 am

So many of us would love to see him, but now I don't know what is going on.
