Usually as you buy more you get a deal. Not with Vinnie:

3,500x14=49k vs VV bundle is 50k
3,500x20=70k vs VV bundle is 75k
3,500x34=119k vs VV bundle is 125k

Not that anyone is purchasing, but his pricing is redundant.

It's funny how that is isn't it?

Like, the prices make no sense to start with and it gets worse from there.

Interesting. Does anyone really have any use for those? I mean, even if one has that much money to spare...

If anyone buys this it would be great to know what they got.

Handwritten may be the name of the chosen font.

Count me in. & I'll take two of everything and a bucket of 'what DLR' says in Yankee Rose.
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

At least VV is consistent when it comes to insanity.

Yes. I tell my friends about this and remind them that there are many precedents for this in terms of pricing and what you get.

The downward spiral of Vinnie's legacy continues.

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! :(

I don't understand why he does it to himself.
VV fansonly and KISS fansonly are different creatures (of the night)
KISS can pull shit like this off. Numbers and cooperate profile game.
KISS has it die hard fans and the Rich poser Kunts who can blow tonnes of ca$$h on KISS crap cause they can.
People who have ca$$h (that is $immons, $tandly) funds can afford to throw money at 'collectables', masturbates and meets, $5000 broken Chinese Ibaneze guitars, etc. And $immons, $tandly can easily pull this off.
VV is different. VV has hardcorefans & typically a smaller ocean to fish it.
Good luck to him if he sells them. I guess there is one born every minute.

This might be taking it too far though, so I'm not sure if there will be any born that will take this deal. How could you order something for that much knowing the other guy spat it out in a few minutes and can do it again.

These aren't the holy grail napkin where Vinnie wrote Lick It Up while having lunch with Paul, or a page from his journal from the 80's, a one of a kind item.

These are cookie cutter lyrics he will write today that are an insult more than anything. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

If you're hard up for cash, this is not the way to get some, but 10 points for trying. No points for effort though.

Hold on. So this isn't the original lyric sheets, handwritten back in the 80s?

This is VV writing the lyrics out for you by hand, like, in the here and now? Tell me that isn't the case....

Sadly this is a few minutes work, today, to re-write the lyrics you choose.

I really wasn't thinking when I titled this thread, it should have been called "For the crazy few, handwritten lyrics".

The rights to the VVI back catalog aren’t even worth that amount of money!

For that kind of money, he should deliver to your house personally like Gene and the Vault and do a mini-concert. Maybe then you could justify the price (at least somewhat)

That would certainly help take the sting out of the pricing.

You would really have to have a LOT of money, like a LOT, so much that you don't care that your Bugatti needs new tyres, you just buy a new Bugatti, to pay for this. If you weren't abosutely stinking rich how could you not feel like a moron spending your hard earned money like that?

I wonder what some of Vinnie's handwritten (original) lyrics would go for at auction.

Say, Unholy with all the numerous lyrical changes. $5000 ?

Lick It Up when it was first written? $10,000?

Those 2 songs I could see going for a high price.

Songs from ASG? $1000 each maybe?

You'd have to put them out there to find out. It could be a lot less than you think judging by past things that were auctioned. Do they even exist? If you wanted lyrics those are the ones you want, the originals.
