The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Ozzy was never as big as Kiss. He was never marketed to commercial middle school market. Glam Rock died a death ansd all that went with it. Kiss were going to die just because all giant bands or singers that revolve around 'fads' die off. Kiss fan base when they turned to 80s rock was a different f...

Ace Frehley Shares Opinion on Other Ex-Kiss Guitarists, Explains What He Likes About Vinnie Vincent's Musicianship UG Exclusive: "I never had a problem with any of these people. But for some reason, Paul had a problem with a lot of them. And Gene." For the whole thing: https://www.ultimate-guitar.co...

Rick doesn't have many decent songs ...but the current Queen of country music Lainey Wilson has been doing "Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo"

Nothing will change the actual fact that Vinnie is a laughing stock and has taken his career backwards on many levels. The best he can hope for now is to die and we'll see how these actions are remembered then. People may soften once he's gone. While he's still here and doing stupid things he'll ge...

Back On The Streets - FC Demo 1985

Luxor

Vinnie can't stop Ace releasing it, thats not possoble. the mechanical license is law and I am sure he didn't want him not to put it out anyway. He can certainly stop him from releasing it as a video. If you would have actually paid attention you would have known that. As I said, Vinnie was fine wi...

Luxor

The sooner you learn to embrace albums like Asylum the happier you will be. Why would I want to embrace garbage albums that even the people who created them dismiss? The songs (for the most part) were weak then and they've certainly gotten far weaker over time. You can pretend Gene was putting out ...

Please ban this vile troll. The Eric Carr stuff is beyond belief. Why have this sort of talk here? How many replies have you made after you said you were going to stop in this thread?

If the "right" person had performed "Beth" at those final shows, I would bet that song wouldn't have been removed

Luxor

Hmmm........ A common misconception in the music industry is that you need to get permission from a copyright owner in order to cover a song. In reality, you can go straight to securing a compulsory mechanical license — required by law as part of the 1909 Copyright Act — and compensating the rights...

Very nice. It seems it can be hard to find a good merch company sometimes. I'm waiting to get my Anniversary LIU LP's when I get home, and I ordered some NY merch from the website that's due in February sometime. I think in the US they will only hold your mail for a month. No idea about Australia. ...

I wasn't aware that an artist had to have the permission and blessing of the writers to cover a song. It seems like a lot of covers would not be around if that was the case. If Ace didn't want this released he would have had his reasons, rather than Vinnie not allowing him. Heck, I should release m...

Update

Luxor

Lux, Do you like this version? I like some Richie Scarlet songs but for me this is not Richie at his best. Ace sounds terrible as he often does sadly with a thin brittle AM Radio sounding tone and his inability to phrase. Just the same 4 or 5 patterns that he recycles in every song over the past 50...

Says the guy who thinks Asylum is better than Animalize and LIU.

Thankfully, most other KISS fans (like 99% know better)

Luxor

Rick recorded this James Bond theme tune at same time as Exciter. The solo is insane haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy32JpWYds8. can hear a touch of lick it up album in there. What a horrible song. What movie was this supposedly the "theme song" for? I sure don't remember any "Hardball" as a ...

Asylum and Creatures of The Night are the best two 80s kiss records. Tears are falling probably the best commercial song they wrote in the 80s. King of the Moiuntainsm Who Wants to be loney are great .Cant remember any of the others though haha And that's why you said Vinnie saved KISS in 1982. Wha...

Luxor

Probably the best song Frehleys Comet ever did. It's a shame Vinnie didn't allow Ace to release it. But it would have sucked with Tod singing it. So much better with R.S.

Luxor

LOL Vinnie charging 200 for being a "member" of his Facebook page. I love watching the VV dumpster fire. Dude just doesn't get out of his own way and obviously has unresolved mental issues. It's pretty stupid. But regardless, nothing will change the fact that he saved KISS. That KISS had to go back...

All MTV was set up from different shows. I have never once talked about 'rotation ol' hahaha hahahaha hahahahahaha . Headbangers Ball was one show but all the day and night were different shows with a host or VJ as they called it. There wasnt just a non stop MTV with no shows. I couldn't give a shi...

I think its time Ace puts "Back on The Streets" in his setlist like the old days!

https://blabbermouth.net/news/ace-frehl ... tures-fest

Luxor

Its still baffling that Ace wasn't happy in KISS and wanted to do hard rock yet when you listen to his demos from 1984, its not alot of hard rock. And Richie brought the balls to the 2 songs that rock (Breakout and I'm An Animal). Its a shame Richie wasn't on FC/Ace albums until "Trouble Walking". H...

How can that be? I mean, how many people around here claim Vinnie can't play, never plays with a band. Never does actual songs. You name it.

Derringer didn't copy what Vinnie was doing. Vinnie's version of that solo was actually disappointing, what's on the album is brilliant and you would think it was Vinnie. Give me a break. Of course Derringer basically copied what Vinnie had already put down. Gene and Paul were trying everything to ...

Luxor

With no Vinnie there was still going to be an album called Creatures of The Night, with a song called Creatures of The Night, with an amazing metal sound. It's what the band was producing that year. Vinnie had no bearing. His songs just turned up and sounded good with the production as planned. Nak...

Luxor

Well, I do run this board, so I'll be checking in from the moon if I'm there. As great as Animalize was, Asylum topped it in all respects. Bruce was really able to let loose and shine, with Paul and Gene coming up with their best material up to that time. I love how Eric starts King of The Mountain...

Reason to live wasnt on MTV much (or hardly ever) and I never heard it on Radio in USA. A bit in UK. most Kiss in the 80s were not on the USA radio. Maybe a tiny bit on Rock stations. I listened to all I could get Z Rock and I even had long range radio. Hide Your Hesrt was on Headbangers Ball a lot...

liar. Gene calling Vinnie every day to come back. Unbelievable lies. Music is different to different people. If you don't like Mark thats fine.

Luxor

Great rant. Did you not read where Vinnie had a deal, one he clearly liked, but renegged, as he has done to others in the past? He blew himself and any further chances with KISS. At least they put out an album that year, he didn't. Are you talking about Enigma? Hasn't that been covered enough aroun...

i never had MTV off. Forever was at least 2 months on every day at least twice or 3 times a day. Drove me a bit nuts as didn't like that song.

The MSG screw up was bad enough. Its the PPV rip off that is what everyone is complaining about.

I've changed my mind. Animalize is clearly the superior evolution of LIU, with Mark crapping all over Vinnie. Listen to I've Had Enough, it's raining notes like a thunderstorm in the solo!!! Oh, since Nov 2020, you've now changed your mind. Hmmmm interesting. Now an album pretty much everyone in KI...

Mark is interesting . he did nail it in saying that he wasn't really copying the guitar players around him. Mark is the most virtuoso and dynamic of all the kiss lead guitarists but he has the personality of a session player. If he had some persona or likeability he would have made more of an impac...

Wow, another rip off for the kings of con! I'm sure Doc will get right on this one like he never did Dubai Gate.

If I never see them live again, I'll be ok. I think the Cocked and Loaded tour would have been their peak. I bought Hollywood Vampires and the music didn't match the title and it went downhill from there. Hollywood Vampires was a huge decline for LA Guns. Such a disappointment. And who produced tha...

You don't have rotation figures lol. I was there and never had MTV off. Forever was on all the time and Hide Your heart for a shiorter time.

Cheap cassingles? How does that translate to sales if someone doesn't want it anyway? I wasn't going to buy Milli Vanilli for $1, that's for sure. Not even 50c.

I think you really need to get out more, get some air, get a life, a girlfriend/boyfriend/whateverfriend. You are on vacation and look what you are doing.
