VV Christmas Party?

[pinkrhoads]

I’m part of a group on Facebook called Vinnie Vincent’s Euphoria, and they’re posting about some event that’s going to be taking place on the 9th and 10th of December, Live band with Vinnie playing some stuff,

Anyone know much about it? They also talk like they have direct contact with Vinnie which seems odd for some guy on Facebook,

If it is real, is anyone here going? Being in the UK I couldn’t afford it but be good to hear from those of you who would be going!

This is the first I've heard of it, but it sounds plausible. Another "party" like previous times. The first was interesting but now this is all Vinnie seems to do. He even lied about playing full music at one of these, so it's all getting very tired.

Look out for more "parties" in 2023 I guess, rather than actual shows. He's overdue for his Australian tour he announced a while ago, would rather have on Sydney show happen than 20 of these parties, it would do a lot more for his career.

Vinne will show up LIVE with a BAND tied around the top of his boot.

As for Australia... I feel all of you fine people down there just have to chip in and physically escort him on a plane and then to a venue. No other way around it.

Here's what people missed at the last party! Best $500 someone could spend!

and of course Mike Brunn is persona-non-grata in Vinnie's world.

I do think someone who pretends to be such a "fan" had never heard "Thrill of the Chase" before. And Mike always kisses Bruce's ass.

The following message was posted on The Rock Experience with Mike Brunn‘s Facebook page on June 2, 2021:

“I’ve had so many people asking me about Vinnie Vincent’s performance this past weekend. The requests for info have come via PMs, Facebook pages, or KISS fan sites that it’s actually a bit overwhelming at times. If you are interested in knowing what he performed this weekend, check out the attached photo. That’s the handout Vinnie gave to all his guests and it has the full setlist on it.

Vinnie played complete versions of the songs listed in the photo to newly recorded backing tracks. In fact some, but not all, of the songs were slightly extended to add an extra solo section to the end. “The Shredd” that started the show lasted about 30 minutes and is exactly what it sounds like. Basically, a 30 minute “shredd solo“. My favorite part of the performance however was what Vinnie called the “power ballad” section, with my personal highlight being the All Systems Go outtake “Thrill Of The Chase”. I’d never heard this song before and as I mentioned to Vinnie in my interview it sounded killer! Think of the Vinnie songs “Ecstasy” or “That Time Of Year”. It was in that style and I hope Vinnie does officially release this song one day. I’d love to hear it again. The version of Gypsy In Her Eyes he played was also different than the versions I’ve heard before. I think I like the “leaked” versions better, but this is a great song regardless. Forbidden was excellent as well. I’ve always been a big fan of Vinnie’s melodic songs, so this section of songs were cool to me. Don’t get me wrong, seeing and hearing him shredd is cool, but the melodic stuff is what made me a fan.

It was also extremely interesting hearing Vinnie play I Just Wanna and hearing what type of solo he would have put on that song if he was in KISS in 1992. While I think I like Bruce’s solo better, it was fascinating hearing Vinnie’s take on it. A very cool moment in the performance for sure!

Let me also add it was LOUD. Very loud. To me Vinnie’s guitar seemed a little out of tune on the last song or two, but that could have just been me and my ears. But, I’m just being honest. Oh also, did I mention it was LOUD?!?

The full performance basically lasted two hours. He told brief stories in between the songs, but they were brief and may not have been before every song. It’s hard to fully remember. He also had in attendance Richard Friedman who came up on the stage to talk for a few moments about them being friends as kids and writing Back On The Streets together. That was a really cool moment. If I had one complaint about the performance it was that Vinnie didn’t perform Back On The Streets after sharing that story. Oh well.

Overall, the performance aspect was much longer than last time I saw him. Like I said, the entire performance was nearly two hours, give or take a few minutes, and it was throughly enjoyable.

As always, there was no video allowed during the performance. It’s too bad, as these performances will be lost in time forever, but that’s how Vinnie does things. Unusual, yes. But it’s his shows, his rules.

For some reason people always seem to be fascinated with what food was served at these events. I honestly didn’t walk over to the food table once all day but various people I chatted with that day told me they ate sandwiches, shrimp, sushi, and salad. I jokingly called it the “S” meal.

Speaking of the food. When Vinnie’s performance ended I was supposed to start my interview. However, my interview actually was moved back to closer to 6:00pm so people ate in between Vinnie’s performance and my interview. That seemed to flow better and I think many people were looking to eat after watching the performance. I’m glad Vinnie’s team made this last second change. I also want to say thank you to his team for always treating me so kindly. Thanks!!

People also like to ask me about the attendance at these events. I estimated 50-60 people there. Someone else posted yesterday that the event was capped at 40 to allow for social distancing. I have no idea what is right, I didn’t count heads and I have no correspondence with Vinnie’s team about the event (beyond them asking if I wanted to do a podcast episode once I told them I was attending). All I know is the turn out seemed strong.

Where did all that come from? And that last link is from Jan 2018 at Derek's expo where they announced the midyear reunion that never happened.

Nobody really beleives Vinnie did that performance in May last year either and his appearance at CF sealed the deal on that one. He showed us, after months of big talk, the best he could do with months of preparation. Over these same months it was possible to have a fully functioning tank stage replica built (of which all of it's functions weren't even used as there was no show to use them with) while Vinnie did sweet FA.

Let me say, had he done that (supposed) May 2021 performance at CF it would have blown away what he actually did do, but it would still be shit compared to what he SAID he would be doing. These are undeniable facts, sadly admitted by fans that want better, for Vinnie.

Are you Joe Biden or Fetterman? Same story posted before with the link and everything.

You can lie all you want form 15,000 miles away. But that won't change reality

[Genebaby]

Maybe you're Joe Biden.

What I meant was, where did all that come from in the context of this post? Why did you re-post all that stuff?

It made no sense to me for all that to suddenly appear. Biden style.

You are Fetterman! Your brain is scrambled like his.

The OP was asking what it would be like. I showed him what a past show was like. And this time he'll be yet again playing KISS and VVI tunes & with a band.

[Genebaby]

Why are you so into name calling? Can you please stop, I don't even know Fetterman.

He was asking what's happening at the Christmas show, not past shows, and you didn't explain what you were doing so there was no connection.

Can you show us the information for the show? Because really nobody thinks Vinnie did anything with a band at that other party, and CF publicly proved it, so we can assume it's the same old Vinnie will shred for half an hour, mindlessly and without point, and maybe mime/play rythym to some backing tracks.

Can people stop lying all the time? Just because you ASS U ME something, doesn't make it so. You keep bringing up Creatures Fest. This isn't Creatures Fest. This has nothing to do with Creatures Fest.

And sorry, you can't put two and two together. Him asking what is happening at the December show. No, it would make no sense at all, zero to let him know what actually happened at the last SIR event. Why would anyone think that makes any sense at all? Nobody can put 2 and 2 together.

All CF proved was Vinnie is far different in large events than he is in the events at SIR. That's all it did.

[Genebaby]

What CF showed us that when Vinnie says he will be playing so many cools songs with a band he really means something else. He never does play full songs, properly, with a band, like everyone else can.

[strangeways]

Real or not?

[Genebaby]

I'd say it's real enough, in that this is what is "advertised" to be happening, at the usual price for a limited number of people.

Does anybody really think Vinnie will be performing what he says? No.

Will Pretty Boy Floyd play? Yes.

[pullitt]

Will Pretty Boy Floyd play? Yes.

Will they get paid though?

[Genebaby]

You would hope so, if they do end up playing.

[Genebaby]

I am hearing that Pretty Boy Floyd are saying they are not involved in this "event".

[VVArchives]

They were set for the Christmas event. Vinnie moved the show because it was too close to Christmas.

I personally, think he should have moved it further away from January. With inflation running so high, $500 on a ticket and another $600-$700 or more on airfare, hotel, transportation ... that's a little rough on many people.


But its so crazy all the BS about any Vinnie party and all the haters at the pathetic KISSFAQ.

One jackass was claiming Vinnie should be "sued" over these shows. For what? Who the hell knows.

Then they come back with As far as I'm concerned, Vinnie should return all the money from Creatures Fest. What a tool. Vinnie wasn't the promoter. Vinnie didn't promise shit.


Of course, these haters never say on KISSFAQ that KISS should be sued. Or KISS should return all their money from all their concerts over the past 4 years or more. Its fine with KISS ripping off tons of fans constantly. And its fine KISS lies and claims they don't lip-synch when they do. So what if KISS is ripping people off millions? No big deal. They'd rather whine and bitch about Vinnie all day.

KISS' rip offs are on such a massive scale but nobody, just whine about Vinnie. Ignore the true con men Gene and Paul.

And funny to hear Doc lying about Kiss would make the Dubai scam right. Sure they will Doc. It's only been almost 2 years. You were corned on the Kruise and made up shit you have no intention of doing.

[Genebaby]

$500 is a LOT. If I happened to be in the US at the time of this event, nearby even, I would not be interested in paying that much for an event. Vinnie has a bad habit of trying to get a few sales at a very high price vs the classic scenario of selling many things at very reasonable prices. Bigger events with reasonable entry are the way to go.

Vinnie did indeed promise something at CF. He was complicit with everything Neil said, as he went along with it, allowed it to be said, with or without his actual presence and he HIMSELF promised us "The show of shows". That is a fact.

Look at Pretty Boy Floyd. If they were booked in for the original date but cannot make the new one they are letting this be known. This is what Vinnie should have done when Neil was promising us great things at CF. Vinnie was on the same page, except it was Vinnie that didn't deliver.

It's also Vinnie that wasn't telling us PBF won't be able to make it in January, he should have confirmed their availability prior to advertising the new date. It's what you have to do when you are running an event.

It would be good if KISS fixed the Dubai situation, a situation that involves them at the end but they were not involved in. Remember, you don't give your ticket money to KISS, or any band. You give it to a different company.

I'm going to GnR soon, got some special tickets with swag etc. If I don't get that I'm not going to be all over the internet screaming at Axl that he stole my money, give it back. No, it is nothing to do with Axl, or GnR.

Kiss isn't doing jack about the Dubai rip off! They conned the people out of $250 and $1000. They publicized the hell out of it. They let themselves be the reason Landmark claimed nothing was coming out. They were in cahoots with Landmark on this scam. Kiss got their money. That's all they care about. KISS has never cared one bit about the fans.

Yes, Vinnie should have confirmed them for the rescheduled date. I certainly agree. But for the life of me, I don't know why he was going to waste a dime bringing them in. Nobody is going to waste $500 on the chance to see PBF or some version of that band. Nobody.


So GNR wasn't out there promoting the hell out of those packages like KISS was Dubai? KISS was all over the internet, TV etc promoting that stuff. Glad GNR didn't partake in any promotion at all for those packages. Glad they won't be seeing a dime from them. You probably wouldn't care if Axl lip-synchs the whole show and then lies about it. You're fine with KISS ripping off their fans that way. Why the rose colored glasses for KISS? Why such a KISS apologist?

[Genebaby]

GnR did not promote anything. Nothing.

Guess who is promoting the show and each type of ticket.

I'll give you a few minutes. It's.......

The promoter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not into anyone getting ripped off, but you keep on harping on about it as if KISS was involved. They, along with a promoter and ticket agency, agree to put on a show. KISS put the show on, they have done their part of the agreement.

Those are some big claims that they were in cahoots, I hope that doesn't land you in any trouble somewhere.
