Hi there the The Good Dr...Awesome tat....where is the VV one? & Eric one??....
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Here's the Eric one :)

As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of the Fox.

I have a design for the Vinnie already, I hope to start on that at the end of the month. I promise to show pics :)

And apologies for the size of these pics. I'm new to this forum stuff and am still trying to find my feet.
Have a quick Q though, is there a section here where members can trade/buy stuff? I recently bought a signed Vinnie pic off eBay and I'm sure I paid way too much for it :(

Greetings Elsey, make no mistake, we know who Vinnie is and we love his music, that's why we are here.

He is also a big of an enigma, which keeps things interesting.

When there is Vinnie news and drama, you'll no doubt find it here.

Welcome to the mad house.

Ha bloody ha!!! Guess I'm the only one who had soooo much trouble getting back on? Over 3 weeks since I could view anything!?!?! I half expected Vinnie to have come around and you'd have all left and I'd be here all alone! :cry: Oh well, at least I'd be assured of a good conversation here by myself! :lol:

No idea why you had so much trouble dude. Maybe your ISP?

Whatever they did in the background may have stuffed them up.

I am webmaster for a Ford Club and when the guy who hosts it changed servers I could not access it from my home ISP for weeks, it kept resolving to the old one, which was there, but no longer relevant.

Met yes, actually played with no, but it's still one last hope I hold onto in the back of my mind lol. I had the chance to meet him a few times, and the interactions were always somewhat erratic depending on the time period and what the event was. The first time I ever saw him was with Kiss for a in-store promo for Lick It Up (still have the signed album!), they were all pretty cool then, but interaction with the band was kind of limited, there was alot of people there, and I was just a kid at the time anyway, so my memory of that isn't really all that great other then it was awesome to meet your heroes! I saw then Invasion live twice, both for the first album, and for another in store promo, he was ultra cool then, signed everything, talked to him for a few minutes, he was in really good spirits then and excited about the records, it's ashame all that ended the way it did. After that, I didn't have the chance to see him again until he was doing the convention circut for Kiss. The first time he was pretty cool, got to talk with him a bit about the Invasion days and what not and he signed everything, though he was pretty clearly less than thrilled about anything with Kiss, which I don't blame him. However, I did a little guest with a tribute band at one point (story I started to tell in the News section) for one of the cons, and he went from zero to asshole in about 6 seconds, he was completely appalled that we played any of HIS songs in the make up, because it wasn't historically accurate or something like that, and he never offically recorded Back On The Streets with Kiss. The whole event he seemed like he really didn't want to be there, but after that he was totally furious. Which, at the time I just contributed to everyone having bad days, but as time went on, with the box set situation and other stories I heard, kinda made me wonder about him altogether, but I still defended him. After this last though, while I still love the man's music and his talent, I'm a little miffed as to what to make of his current attitude.

A friend of mine also dealt with him regarding some sort of charity auction, and had a very unpleasant experience, I have to ask him about the details though.

Which by the way, I'm not trying to trash him here, I have fond memories of the man, just relating different experiences.

Hi all,

I was a mute member of the last forum and have dipped in and out of this one for a while – good to be in properly.

I’ve just left a ridiculously long post in the critics corner of VVI that I felt the urge to write – got a bit carried away – hope you enjoy it.

Hello again, my name is Colin.

My username is kind of made up. I derived it from the musical meaning of syncopate or syncopation – to displace beats or accents – and stuck ‘…hile’ on it to mean one who loves the dynamics of music and rhythm. The 42 is the answer to the meaning of life the universe and everything from Hitchhikers… by Douglas Adams, who I admire greatly, which I stuck on to go deep!

Cheers, Colin

Hey Everyone!

This is John from Australia, I've been a Kiss fan since the 80's & i also love vinnie! I think his contribution to Kiss was incredible and I still think that his VVI material sounds amazing today! They don't make guitarists like him anymore! It's great that this forum is up and running and kudos to all you guys for still being passionate about his talent and music after all these years! You are true fans!! I was a member of DoubleV but I guess that forum is finished now? Anyway this forum is the future and I look forward to contributing what I can..

Hi John, welcome to our forum, looking forward to seeing you around more.

Good to see another aussie here, and another in Qld too, seem to be a few Vinnie fans up there. It's strange we have nobody from Melbourne yet as that town has a lot of Kiss fans.
