Re: Latest post from Vinnie Vincent
I would be Happy merely seeing Vinnie play some Acoustic and talking about his Time in Dan Hartman, Treasure & The Warrior Demo's.... agree.

Re: Latest post from Vinnie Vincent
I can't believe he is going down the route of spending all his time on social media booting people again.. It's clear he has no intention of re learning guitar or making any new music. He can play the guitar just fine.. He just cannot shredd his old solos. He simply doesn't care about playing music...

Or the IRS will find that he probably never paid taxes on all the money he collects. Everything is paid via PayPal and marked as "gift".. originally via a Stephen Wilkie paypal account (used to anyway).

Vinnie had gigs before KISS. Being in KISS made people aware of him, but without KISS he would have still done something, well at least until he decided to take a nose dive as he did.

It does seem that the steam of these pricey events is running out.
