Vinnie & Europe

[Detroit]

Maybe some of you who knows Vinnie (or some of you who will meet him in near future) could ask him if he is interested to have a visit in Europe.

No plane for Vinnie, so VINNIE KRUISE across the ocean. Tickets available soon!

[LUDIVINE]

People don't even know he can't fly anymore ! He wants to stay in TN, and needs a driver when he goes to cons.

So coming to Europe ? Never.

[AnkhWarrior]

Don't see it happening, unfortunately.

[Genebaby]

Well, he told us in 1988 he was coming to Australia, never happened.

He told us in 2018 he was coming to Australia, never happened.

He has flown before obviously. When did he start being afraid to fly, do we know?

He probably wants to go to Europe, but is to scared to do it.

Vinnie never adressed this problem publicly (as usual). People close to him told me he cannot fly anymore. It's not a secret that when he goes to conventions outside of TN, he has a driver. This is why I tend to believe what these persons told me.

I have this problem also. I cannot fly anymore (plane phobia). This is really hard to handle.

Vinnie flew when he was in KISS and after. Since he came back in 2018, he always travels by car.

So coming to Europe, I don't see this possible. That's too bad ! But who knows.......

As strange as it sounds, people can become afraid or phobic of things as they get older.

It's like when I was a child I had no problem playing with bugs of all kinds. Now? I find majority extremely icky.

I wonder though if 9/11 has anything to do with it? I know of some people who said once 9/11 happened, they would no longer fly.

[Genebaby]

Yes, he gets driven around since the comeback, but even then he said he would be in Australia and he's a year overdue now.

I guess he won't be making any promise to be anywhere overseas anytime soon, unless he goes by boat? Do we know if he's ok with that?

I am fine with flying, it gets you to where you want to go.

Yes he could come by boat, did not hear any issues about him and taking the boat. It just would take him 10 days to come to Europe. I wanted to go on the Kiss-Kruise. Paris/New-York : 10 days by boat, then have to go to Miami by train lol. Not possible, I don't have enough money.

I was fine with flying too. Went to a lot of countries, until that day arrived.... You don't know why, all you know is that you won't be able to fly anymore because of panic attacks........

Maybe he can come to Australia by boat too ?

Maybe Ankhwarrior is right, is it 9/11 that made him scared ? Why not. Vinnie has a lot of fears. He also has a lot of dogs, someone has to look over them when he travels.

[Genebaby]

You can get anywhere you want by boat I guess.

It is slow but relaxing at least.

[doublev2]

Funny as I am much more afraid to be a passenger in a car on a long distance road trip.
Flying is unnatural so pretty normal to not want to do it.

I think I remember when he was in Europe last time they drove and took boats rather than fly. Possibly a reason he cancelled his UK date while he was in Sweden???

[pullitt]

When did he start being afraid to fly, do we know?

Right about the time he couldn't afford it. Pay him handsomely, he'll fly.

LOL, you could be right.....
