New Member Western North Carolina

Hey, All

You guys might like this story, but I'm sure it's actually quite common. I was never allowed to listen to Kiss. Growing up, my mother was one of the "KISS stands for Knights In Satan's Service," mothers. Sometimes it also meant, "Kids In Satan's Service." I remember seeing all of the kiss gear in the mall during the early 90s and hearing my mom say, "Kiss is supposed to be about love. That's how god intended it. This band is an abomination." :roll:

Anyway, I've recently started listening to a ton of Kiss and was just drawn towards that guitarist with the Egyptian symbol on his face. He fucking shreds! One thing led to another and now I've probably caught up on every Kiss and VV drama, news story, update, and personal experience everyone has posted from the last 30 years. I was always a huge Jimi Hendrix fan. Now that I've watched everything there is to watch and listen to of VV... All I can say is... Move over Rover, and let Vinnie take over. He may have screwed people out of money. He may have disappeared, leaving behind a garbage dump of a house and property. He may even be reading this right now. (Hi, VV) I just know he's my new favorite guitarist, and possibly the most mysterious person I've ever read about. I definitely want his book if he ever decides to release one. That would be one hell of a story to read.

Yes to all those points, and welcome to the VVFF!

I find it hard to understand that his guitar and song writing genius is not more widely known, but that may be influenced by his bad side.

Exactly! Somehow, I had never heard of him. Though I do remember seeing his face paint somewhere as a child. I just don't remember where. Really wish I could snag one of his signature guitars. Definitely not trying to bid on one from his website.

To get one of those real VVV guitars get in touch with Tom, their builder via his section here, AZG Guitars.

Any idea how long it usually takes to hear back from him?

A few good months depending on requirements/parts, like most luthiers but still quicker than a Custom Shop Jackson that can take up to two years to get done!

Thanks so much. In the meantime, I bought a Epiphone Les Paul Custom 3-Plus Limited Edition. Image
