The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Portillo

Vinnie comes off as a genuinely nice guy. Such a shame what he did to his career.

Portillo

I havent heard the album but that is an awful album cover. It looks like it took them 2 seconds to come up with that concept.

Best guitar of all time IMO. Vinnie potentially could have made alot of money selling VVV guitars.

Portillo

I would have sex with that guitar too.

Yeah it really boggles the mind.

Portillo

doublev2 wrote:Its amazing that most people over looked vv as a guitar master.

Vinnie has only himself to blame for that. Randy Rhoads probably put out more material than Vinnie and he died at 25.

Portillo

The fine print says that he doesnt even have to make the guitar if he doesnt feel like it. And you dont get your money back.

What for?
What is the point of all this?

That should be written on his tombstone.

Portillo

Probably doesnt want people to see what he looks like. Old and fat.

Genebaby wrote:Little interest, or the stuff is too hard.

Yeah, looks like it. Maybe Vinnie can post some guitar lessons.

Portillo

Theres a distinct lack of youtube videos covering Vinnie songs. Unlike so many other bands.

metatron wrote:VV was saying he was the owner of everything, even Bobby's drum sticks.

Did VV own Fleischmans vocals aswell?

Portillo

Vinnie is nuts!

Portillo

How did you go about getting in touch with the guitarists in the book? By any means necessary. Since I was just a glorified fan, without the backing of a major magazine or network, it was difficult getting musicians to talk to me. They -- understandably -- had other things to do than talk to someon...

Genebaby wrote:Yes, when Vinnie "took over" it was like a regime, he tried to enforce full and accurate names and addresses in profiles. People were getting warnings and then booted if it wasn't fixed to his liking.

Another day in the life of Vinnie Vincent.

Portillo

I think its too late. Hes over the edge. Point of no return.

PinkWiz wrote:Vincent is mentally ill.

No doubt. He will probably die a very depressed man with many regrets. I still cant get my heard around why Vinnie is the way he is.

The easter bunny and the flying spaghetti monster are all the same to me. People are full of shit. Books are usually not. Books not people. Amen.

The fact that God makes your heart burn with rage, usually means that God exists and that makes you angry.

Portillo

Vinnie is a catholic so he probably understands what shes saying.

Portillo

You would have a better chance of raiding Vinnies house with a baseball bat and stealing his guitars. Just order a replica one from a reputable source.

Genebaby wrote:He likes to think he is.
He is not big on "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" though.

doublev2 wrote:Vinnie is biblical alright but as long as he is god.

Portillo

Is Vinnie a religious man?

Portillo

Alright Vinnie, if you release an album. I will send you $40!

Portillo

We all know that Vinnie don't go to the KISS concert tonight. Never ever in 100 years he will be there. But a rumor sounds good and so we will hope he comes tonight AS VINNIE VINCENT THE ANKH WARRIOR. He could have more press than KISS tonight if he would come :mrgreen: Wolfi Vinnie vs Tommy Thayer...

Portillo

Did he go there undercover?

Portillo

yeah vinnie found this forum and INSTANT enemy (even before I joined). This forum was created because VV was deleting posts and people (this is when most people believed it was me doing the booting). I didn't even know about this place until VV booted me. Its nothing to do what has been said here.....

doublev2 wrote:ohh just remembered... He woukd ask for a million bucks upfront.

And wouldnt write the book.

Portillo

Vinnie called me. Rick, teej, kev, dannii, Quentin, vic and tj and others some pretty nasty names and all of us spent years on boards praising him, defending him and keeping his name alive. He even said so himself. Then he turns for no reason or a made up paranoid reason on his most active fans... ...

Portillo

The sad thing is vv is better than that record. Would love to have heard vv do a real instrumental record with a lot more feeling and dimension. I dont mind the first 10-15 minutes of speedball jamm. I dont think Ive heard it all the way through. It seems as though the quality gets worse as the tra...

Portillo

My friend operates a Music Store that was previosly owned by his Uncle, it's the store is where Vinnie took his lessons as a kid and where he met his beloved guitar teacher " Bill". When I was on Vinnie's Forum my very first post to Vinnie was do you remember Bill ***** ? Vinnie was very moved and ...

Portillo

I am not sure he even wants to be remembered . He would have to interact with live people at some point and that wont happen. I am not even sure if a big pay day would make him play out now. The only real way to know would be if 100 fans put up 500 dollars each for a private acoustic show and stipu...

Portillo

Oh what a night that would be.

Portillo

Vinnie "the Riddler" Vincent.

Portillo

Was Vinnie already crazy by this stage, or just after Kiss?

Portillo

Gene and Paul would probably love Vinnie, if he was normal.

Portillo

Also, I don’t think Vinnie was mentally in a place...

Vinnie in a nutshell.

Portillo

Bridges burned by VV 1. virtually all guitar industry 2. virtually all record labels 3. all band members of his own band 4. Kiss 5. most lawyers he has worked with 6. all ex wives 7. All but one Kiss Expo promoters 8. All fans apart from vv angels and very new ones(and some of them too) 9. all prev...

Portillo

Does anyone know what Vinnies favorite bands are? Kiss?

Portillo

Thanks. The riff in the first song sort of sounds like Shoot U Full Of Love.

I never heard De Leppard either. Photograph does seem to have some similarities.

Gene aint no tough guy. Tommy would smash him.

Portillo

vv can not 1. play in a band 2. run a band 3. run a business 4. be trusted with money or what he advertises the only thing he could maybe do is be a studio session player for a short time or better still write tunes on his own at home and have someone other than himself sell them for him. anything ...

Dead on arrival.

I was wondering if there were any recent pics of him too. Somebody please post it here. Facebook sucks.

Pretty much what Vinnie fans say. Lots of talent but...

Portillo

I smell a reality show called Vinnie Knows Best.

Portillo

Too bad Taylor has self-respect, unlike Vinnie.

Portillo

I really dont care anymore if Vinnie releases new music... it probably wouldnt live up to what we already have (just like KISS' new music). I just think it would be cool for him to communicate with his few remaining fans on his Youtube page... maybe a "Shred of the Day" video or him jamming on acou...

Portillo

Maybe the question should be what would Vinnie do with the $9000.
