The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

richiehaha

Again I will say it, maybe you'll hear me this time. If he had advertised the Vinnie solo slopfest there would be NO complaining, he would have delivered. This was not that, how can you not see that? Smiling at the fans who paid to see a show, thinking they all love you is like those idiots who feed...

richiehaha

Genebaby, I very much appreciate what you've done over the years with this VV Forum. But when I stop and think about it, how much longer can you keep it going with VV as the focal point? Since I joined a few years ago, interest has waned greatly. Now that the remaining fans know the best that VV has...

richiehaha

Is it possible that Vinnie is FINALLY going to deliver something good and real for the fans? Bringing in Ace, Peter and Bruce is masterful. Vinnie, on his own, is no longer capable of drawing enough interest. But add these guys - now we've got something real. I hope the show rocks!!!

richiehaha

I would love to be proven wrong.
But for now, I'm going with "I'll believe it when I hear it."
With Vinnie, you never know what's true and what's fiction.

I saw an interview with Eric Singer from years ago where he said that he would have chosen to be The Hawk in KISS makeup.
So, good call Genebaby!

richiehaha

I think KISS still owns Vinnie's makeup. Would that be why he changes it slightly when he wears it now?
They probably still own Eric's too.
KISS owns everything and everyone, lmao.

richiehaha

I speak only from personal preference by saying: I would have preferred KISS reinvent themselves after Ace and Peter left the second time. Here's my vision of what should have happened.... They stayed in the makeup & gave Eric his own KISS identity. They found a new & exciting guitarist with his own...

richiehaha

Having Eric Singer in KISS never bothered me. After all, he's been there since before they put the makeup back on & he is a much better drummer than Peter Criss, in my humble opinion. I don't like him in Peter's makeup though. They should have let him dream up his own identity. I read somewhere wher...

Absolutely!!! I had just heard KISS for the first time and Lick It Up sounded "new and fresh", like Iron Maiden's "Piece Of Mind".

Iron Maiden, Piece of Mind!!! Still sounds fresh today!!!

richiehaha

Very Fair Rebuttal Genebaby. I wanted so much to feel the same way you do about VVI. Just didn't happen for me. No stress man, just letting you know my feelings, we're all different. I remember being super hooked on the VVI albums and thinking how much better they were than the KISS offerings of th...

Very Fair Rebuttal Genebaby. I wanted so much to feel the same way you do about VVI. Just didn't happen for me.

richiehaha

I became a Vinnie fan during his KISS days. Truth be told, I almost never listened to the Invasion after he left KISS or no time after that. So for the past few days I've been listening to the Invasion on Spotify while working out. Now some people may disagree whole-heartedly with what I'm about to ...

richiehaha

I just finished Peter Criss' book, Makeup to Breakup. I didn't even know it existed till a friend of mine lent it to me (the book is like 8 years old now). I enjoyed it...especially things about Gene, Paul and Ace that he mentioned. For example, according to Peter... Paul liked to draw perfectly ana...

richiehaha

Sad to say that this planet just lost a true rock icon and guitar-playing genius - Eddie Van Halen.
May his music and his memory last eternally.

richiehaha

People in the States still appreciate all that the 80's gave us. But those people are pretty much the one who were teenagers during that decade (and some of their kids). The music that most teenagers/young 20's people listen to today sounds NOTHING like the music of the 80's. I speak from experience...

richiehaha

True, it's 2020 and all is quiet. But with regards to Vinnie and his comeback, I'm not sure that the year has much to do with the quietness around here. Disappointment and surrender from optimism may be more of the reason. With that being said though, Rock n Roll as a genre is pretty much obsolete n...

richiehaha

I have to say...I was pleasantly surprised with Vinnie's political statement. I hope this get together happens and is a success for him.

richiehaha

Made my day listening to that! Good Job Man!

richiehaha

True, both the real world and the VV Forums world don't offer a lot of positive news.

Here's to hoping that "This too shall pass."

Stay Well People!

richiehaha

When I first discovered this place, enthusiasm was high, people were energized and things looked promising for a solid return of the Ankh Warrior. Needless to say, things didn't pan out the way many of us had hoped. I now wonder how many people will even read this. The everyday likes of Poserboy71, ...

richiehaha

I honestly dont think he can play anymore. We know he can strum chords and play riffs from a few semi recent videos with Kiss Kruise, and the conventions with Robert and Gene but they were very basic and simple progressions that most beginners can do. Vinne can not rock out anymore. Vinnie chose to...

richiehaha

Rick, Poserboy 71: I appreciate the interview you did with Decibel Geek. For me, you painted a vivid picture of what it was like to be at the Christmas Bash. Thanks for that.

richiehaha

I’d wager the bashing of Gene & Paul on KISSFAQ would dwarf anything posted about Vinnie here?! It’s part & parcel of any website, rightly or wrongly. I'd wager that most of the VVFF faithful want to see Shramiac's beautiful profile pic again. Please, that current profile pic!!! I can't unsee it, l...

richiehaha

I haven't been on in a while b/c it seems to be nothing but bickering anymore. I just went through a bunch of posts to catch up and I do have one question...where the hell has the AnkhWarrior Jessica girl been? It's just not the same without her commenting on stuff!!!

richiehaha

Come on. Why is it so difficult to accept the way Vinnie is comfortable in delivering a message ? You can choose to go or you can stay home but there is no reason to attack anyone's perceived mental health or throw any jabs in Vinnie's direction. Whatever, Dude. Vinnie has worked hard at earning ev...

richiehaha

One of Vinnie's mental deficiencies is called "Delusions of Grandeur."

richiehaha

It sucks that there's not much of anything left to discuss with regards to Vinnie. Not sure if we'll be talking about him at all soon. So I will just say that of all KISS members, past and present, Ace is the only one I'd pay to go see anymore. Like others on this forum already alluded to...Ace is n...

richiehaha

I don't doubt Gene & Paul have F*cked Over all the members of Kiss at one time or another....but I don't believe this "Story" one bit, this is just merely a "Publicity Stunt" concocted to draw interest or create hype in regards to the End Of The Road Tour ! A lot of people I know are thinking the s...

I am going to consider Vinnie Vincent's contribution to music finished. His 70s material, major KISS contributions (to the point that the band was resurrected on his talent), the excellent VVI debut album and - in my opinion - superlative ASG album, in addition to various other things he has done a...

richiehaha

Be a fan.We dont need to speculate who's to blame. Of course, nothing is ever Vinnie's fault. :roll: If you can't handle that somebody has an opinion different than yours, there is an ignore feature on the forum that you can use. Not all of us choose to slurp the nectar from the golden phallus of V...

richiehaha

I listened to the Podcast that Slayer posted...Obviously those guys are no fans of Vinnie. Here's my take....Vinnie's Memphis show will happen (fingers crossed) and will do very well - guaranteed to sell out. But what Vinnie does before and (especially) after that show will be vital to his future su...

richiehaha

A former band-mate once said that Vinnie would hang himself while someone was handing him the keys to the kingdom. I wish I could be more optimistic for NEW BEGINNINGS, but history says otherwise. At sixty something years old, with a bad reputation for working with others, a history of poor decision...

richiehaha

If Vinnie really wanted to make an impact, he'd have released music instead of making comic/horror convention appearances. This was a pure money drive - not for fans, not for notariety. The question is, does he have the money to make the music (is he even relevant anymore to warrant it?) The answer...

Hey Lita!
So a Jersey Girl, huh.
I'll be going to Long Beach Island, aka LBI, in a few weeks.

Stop being such a snowflake.

What Paul said may very well be true...probably is.
But you have to admit, Paul is a narcissist.

BTW, no snowflake here, lol. Trump 2020! Keep America Great.

richiehaha

As I said in a post when I first joined here....Gene Simmons once said that Vinnie Vincent is extremely talented, but the most self-destructive person he's ever met. For all the BS that Gene often spouts, this one comment is starting to sound more and more like the truth. Based on the recent BS from...

richiehaha

Paul slandering Vinnie? WHAT A SHOCK! ... Said no one ever. Somewhere along the way to an unfathomable amount of fortune and fame, an immensely talented guy lost his sense of reality. The fact that he still thinks he can sing today tells you all you need to know about Paul's reality. When he listen...

richiehaha

It's been over 8 years that his voice is gone. I think he's had surgery in that time, but he is done. Only he won't admit it, the rest of us know. Has it been 8 years? Time sure flies. Seems like yesterday he was singing "I Still Love You" live on MTV unplugged. He really showcased his voice with t...

richiehaha

https://youtu.be/zmdJrReFsag So Paul's voice has been in decline since at least a little before Sonic Boom - so over 3 years. Has anyone heard him sing live recently, like in the past month or so? I'm just wondering how much worse his voice has gotten. Think about the ego on this guy...In my opinio...

Um, I was being sarcastic and pointing out the fact that he looked MORE like a woman in 1986 than he does now...yet everyone is shocked at his appearance in 2018 for some reason I can't stress enough that I'd love Vinnie just as much as if he were Victoria Vincent, I don't give a damn. And I'll buy...

richiehaha

He should go back to his masculine look of the 1980s Agreed...Vinnie walking with Paul, Gene and Eric in the Lick It Up video was epic IMO. That's as masculine as Vinnie ever looked. But I don't think we'll see that Vinnie again, which is fine as long as the music is where we've come to expect it t...

richiehaha

Ace has had a handful of songs that I've liked since he left KISS. But in my humble opinion, most of his stuff has been overwhelmingly bad. I wish I could say different b/c I loved Ace in KISS, but it is what it is.

richiehaha

I loved Lick It Up and always wished Vinnie had stayed in KISS for way longer than he did. And seeing him again, thirty something years later has been really cool. I have not kept close tabs on what Vinnie says are his future intentions BUT I hope they include getting a band together and rockin and ...

Welcome, glad you're here!

Hello and welcome

It is human nature, in my opinion, to try to make sense out of something that's entirely different in appearance than you have been used to seeing. So my "bizarre" comment... no negative connotation intended. Just had to get used to the different appearance. There is no arguing that his appearance h...
