The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Possio

Personally doubt it´s Vinnies voice, doesnt sound remotely similar, but what do I know...

Possio

Far Out!

Possio

taking estrogen will do that to a person, but for above pic? who knows?..if indeed, nothing wrong with that.

Possio

This whole release reeks of fraud...total rubbish.

Possio

Ok guys and gals, I got it at my house now, came here to Stockholm Sweden in no time from England..Nothing to write home about, not that great..sorry to say. :( First portion is most likely sourced from YouTube, sound is absolutely No improvement from what I´ve heard before, same swishy swoshy quali...

Possio

As a Swede: yep, the metalsludge thing pretty much sums it up, but I actually enjoyed it ( the show) for what it is, it has a different slant to it than the normal rockumentaries does, a bit more matter of fact and humane maybe...the ups and downs of running a band for so many years kinda thing. Any...

Possio

In addition, I`m also wonering if that 59 Les Paul still has its original PAF´s on it and if indeed
those PAF´s (or stock type Alnico2 pickups) were on the guitar while recording KISS / VVI guitar tracks ?
thanx!

Possio

Great post about the guitars used etc,! But, I would like to point out thou there´s a factual error in the discription to the Music Man amps, they actually utilize a Solid State Pre-amplifier section and a tube driven Power Amp Section, 6L6´s, not the other way around. I know since I used one (70´s ...

Possio

Was this guitar really ever used on stage?
what year is it most likely?
and, Are there ANY pics of VV holding this guitar any time in history? (no trem here, all I see is Vinnie posing with trem way back when)
/cheers, O

Possio

Ok, when you say, "This Lick it Up Demo with VV vocals+solo", Question, Is that track number: "15. Lick It Up (Demo).mp3 (2.49 MiB) Downloaded 20 times" that you are talking about? I dunno, to me it sounds like a live (soundboard) recording from a Kiss-convention or something ? tribute band? I might...

Possio

This is starting to Rock n´Roll !!

And, no April fool´s please.

Possio

I dunno, why announce something´s definitely gonna happen when it was pretty far from a done deal? IMHO.
I wish the guys the best of luck... really like what they have done so far on their Pod, the old Fleischman episode is just great!
Keep up the good work.

Possio

If the guys managed to get "you know who" on the pod-cast, I'll eat my hat...
It would be a world sensation ( well, almost..)

Possio

an engineer? ex manager, but what´s annoying me right now is cracking "the code" that is
in the image ....damn,..no sleep tonight...hehe!

Possio

the file name of the image is VV.jpg...!? it could mean a helluva lot, or nothing....

still don´t get the green image ? anybody ?

Possio

is it a rebus of some sort?,,,clever. hehe..
but, I see a snail and a what ? leaf, green feather, ? can not make it out
Snail xxxxx ?

Possio

cool, anything here we havent seen/heard before ? if yes, any recommendations ?
/O

Possio

I gave it a spin this morning, I think the only place where possibly V is playing is the last songs on side 1, the Fonz songs..
There´s a clean Fender type rhythm guitar there, only thing that could be V, but most likely not..the rest of the tracks, granted, is typical old 50s hits.

Possio

it does not say anything on the label as to who wrote what..exact same info as the image you see above post.. who knows, V is probably not on any of the tracks..unless some of those "band" names are just made up group names on the set and existed only for the TV show and this "TV soundtrack"..I do n...

Possio

Hi all, I found this LP in the 50 cent bargain-bin on my way home from work, anybody know
if VV wrote/played on any of these tracks ?
(one cut is actually called "a million to one"...funny...)

Have a nice weekend, O

Possio

You probably have to ponder the fact that the character "Vinnie Vincent" or Cusano possibly does not exist anymore..a personality change of sorts, to what or who I have no idea..but it seems that person/character you see in Kiss and Invasion videos from the 80´s and up to mid 90´s is no longer aroun...

Possio

cool. I dont want to be too critical and annoying here but there´s actually a few notes that could be changed, like opening phrase the highest note in the lick is actually not the minor (18th fret) but a major note (19th fret), whether you hit the 19th or bend up to it quickly..then go down the scal...

Possio

Lets just say: you need a really "open" ear to get Vinnie´s playing and concepts..I like to think I do..hehe..
But for the casual listener, it is pretty "out there" at times... Its a free world, one can play any way one wishes, right.

Possio

funny thing is, I kinda agree with a lot of the comments, and they are pretty darn funny at times too!
but at the same time, I still love the playing...isnt that weird ? haha!

Possio

its from the remastered cd, ( my personal CD) slowed down about 6 percent, tuning it to A440 ( concert pitch, pitch fork).
big file, not much compression, if any?, wave. you should be able to hear all the nuances of the instruments/music well, etc..

Possio

yep, it sounds more natural to me this way, BUT, I actually think the song benefited from getting sped up, yes, it became a better opening song at a somewhat faster tempo..allbeit, after the fact, after it was recorded/tracked.. It was the right thing to do with the music, but , its not 100 percent ...

Possio

Please check it out, see what you think ?

Possio

Thats what Im saying too, Slowing it down to 440, which Ive done also, makes it sound more right, but not much slower in terms of guitar playing/shredding, It still insanely fast..

Possio

Lord Jesus! that´s serious carnage there..haha.
but life goes on..There are plenty of PS10´s around, 90´s , new Chineese (plays surpricingly well !) etc

Possio

Im too shy (or embarrased) to sit down and do a YouTube thing or similar..sorry..If you ever come up to Stockholm (from Poland), I promise I will show you the piece and everything that Ive figured out from it.. :) There are a few places in the music where I cant tell 100% where on the neck V positio...

Possio

Also, I play it traditional classical style, P ima, thumb and 3 fingers, V plays "hybrid Picking" = pick (plectrum)and fingers.. I do not master that technique, it probably sounds more right if done hybrid..

Possio

I have most of it (all exept the Yankee doodle dixe) figured out by ear, took me about 6 months, years ago.I was unemplyed at the time..hehe, obviously..lots of interesting jazz chords/voicings and classical stuff, as you all know. now, I can not play it at same speed but pretty close. its a really ...

Possio

exactly, we are not talking about, hey- lets take "slowhand" Eric Clapton and turn him into Yngwie Malmsteen on record by manipulating the tape. ! right?.. the "wow" factor to the music is a really good description of the result of just a tad faster tape to something that was already pretty darn fas...

Possio

That makes two of us, Streetbeat. I love what I hear on the album,its great as a piece of "Rock Art" and have the utmost respect for the guys as musicians and all that, but somebody twisted the knob on the tape machine a bit for that song to make it "snappier" like mentioned,.. it is no big deal..Vi...

Possio

Ok, well.. Im still sticking with my point, "Boys" was sped up close to a half step. meaning, the Master Tape during the mastering process was sped up ever so slightly to give that first song an "over the top" sound, maybe they thoght it was recorded a little too slow for an opening song and just li...

Possio

Ok, cool! So, who did you talk with ? please share! VVI is one of my all time favorite Hard Rock albums, Id love to get more inside info...theres already quite alot of info out there,as we all know, but anyway.

Possio

Not saying this is how it def WAS done, I was not there in studio, but this is the preferred technique and it has been used many times for instruments and vocals, the trick is not to overdo it..just use it ever so slightly so it wont be too noticeable.. You have to ask Dana Strum ( if he´s willing t...

Possio

I think it has been mentioned before but you can actually slow down the tape in the studio After you have tracked the basic rythm-tracks at regular tuning (concert pitch 440) so rythm tracks are now at E flat, slowed down.Then: re-tune your guitar to E-flat, then track/overdub your solos to a slowed...

Possio

So, facts concerning the guitars are still as confusing as they were the day this discussion started ? hehe.. You guys sure has gotten to the bottom of this, but you mean it is still a mystery where the original ( that pink guitar I sat as a 12 year old watching Vinnie play in that "Hockey-rink" in ...

Possio

Ok, so, Vic, that implies...? Lot 354 was for certain never played with KISS or ?
Cheers, O

Possio

Hello all, I just Googled a bit and found this: Posted a long time ago on another Forum, "jcfonline" some intersting ideas.. According to this poster, "pro-fusion", a pre 85 (San Dimas) factory built RR1 utilized a 4 degree Neck Angle, supposedly.. http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/50984-1985-Jackson...

Possio

Aha, Thanks for the heads up! didnt know that.. but, from my personal experience, neck angle does indeed have an effect on the "feel" of the instrument, a matter of preference I guess, if one likes it or doesnt is another question. Some LP´s have more than others, the very early fifties LP´s had les...

Possio

Nice build, What an endeavour ! I was wondering, did you manage to get any neck angle happening? (some 4-5 degrees, like a Les Paul has?). I have heard different stories on the Jackson V neck angle aspect..some said they had more angle back in the Dan Dimas´s building days, and then later not so muc...

Possio

what band? I can actually think of one,...guitar ?, vocals?..

Possio

Yep, I was 12 at the time. it was different, first tour no make up as you all know.. back then, did not know what to expect since it was a "new" kind of Kiss so to speak.. Anyway, I was on the right-hand side, ( facing stage) quite close actually, and seeing the pink V guitar on a stand thru the dra...

Possio

I was there ! haha..

Possio

It is a totally different world these days, much more accepting then say 20-30 years ago.. I think if handled right it would be a great way to get noticed, call it maketing ploy? I dunno.. in these super cluttered media times, to get peoples reaction aint easy..so much going on . But, on the other h...

Possio

dont you worry, not a chance in hell that guitar was ever used for recording anything VVI with.

Possio

I remember that, either they are just kidding around, OR, there´s something to it...?
No big deal..

Possio

Sadly, I think you will make more money driving a forklift well as opposed to playing the guitar on V´s level in his heyday..today...things have changed.. Like Dylan sang..
