Vinnie's Incredible Talent
Had some time to kill tonight and spent it with my guitar in hand trying, to continue my 2 year adventure into the instrument. Wound up watching a number of you-tube videos of Vinnie . . . just incredible talent as you watch him play and realize the songs he put out, not only for KISS, himself and others. Wish we had more as most of today's music just doesn't cut it.
Found this rather old, but great tribute to him that I thought you may all enjoy . . . so, enjoy

Some great inspiration here to continue my playing . . . will work on this next with my teacher.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Re: Vinnie's Incredible Talent
Such incredible talent, indeed.
Too bad he still isn't willing to share it with the world, his fans, as of right now. Please, don't let it go to waste VV! There is still time We are here, waiting.

That's Onefinger's version! He's a member here and a fantastic guitarist. Great guy too.
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!
Re: Vinnie's Incredible Talent
Jimmy James, have you checked out onefinger's other VV covers? His emulation of Vinnie's guitar playing is spot on. Here's his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/onefinger1691
Mike Weeks is another person that nails VV's style. Mike recorded the song "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" on the VV tribute CD titled "Kiss My Ankh" which was released just a few years ago.

Vinnie was a beast.. not only as a virtuoso but as a songwriter too.

Re: Vinnie's Incredible Talent
