Hi from the UK - what have I missed?

Post by fullshredder »

Hi - just joined - been a Kiss fan for some 37 years, been well and truly wowed by VV and his invasion, saw Slaughter live a couple of times, etc, etc.

So having listened to Euphoria twenty zillion times and wanting more of course, and reading of more stuff including Guitarmaggedon, please bring me up to speed. Did it actually materialize? Are there demos of songs to be had, by anyone, anywhere?

Yo!
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

yeah vinnie never put out GFH. Tried to in late 80s but pissed of Enigma records for shopping it around.

then i believe he could not find anyone in Hollywood to put it out and moved to Nashville in around 1993 to work with Felix of the Rascals. He then surfaced in mid 90s with a website and record label. A big farce happened when fans lost $150 on pre ordered boxsets. He started getting pissed with fans for asking for money back and closed down his website and record label.
He then hung out on aol messenger for some years teasing fans with offering things to them but then never did.
He then re-surfaced in 2009 when he contacted me through his lawyer about purchasing the domain name I owned vinnievincent.com.
He said he would release GFH 2 songs at a time and asked me to post on my old forum that info. He also posted it on his official youtube channel that he was using at the time (which he also promoted his guitar line and NAMM apperance of those guitars).
He then took over forum.. kicked 1000 fans off and ran it in private mode for about 20 people including people he faked.
Then he closed that and is using fb and other sources to communicate with fans.
No sign of music but I am sure he is trying to tease groupies that its coming out.

His official line was the reason GFH was not coming out is because the behaviour of his fans in mid 90s when asking for boxset refunds and in 2010 when he kicked off all his fans from his forum and found it sickening that they basically asked why.

Thats how i see it.

My theory after speaking many times to Vinnie is that he really doesn't want to put GFH as he then looses any power from groupies and fans begging to hear the album.

Also I don't believe its finished. Robert said vocals were not finished at all.
Bye Bye
