Happy Birthday Vinnie !

BigEd

I had a brief conversation with Vinnie on May 21st....I try to keep him informed on stuff happening back here in Bridgeport, he's always been very appreciative of that and it tends to bring back lots of Good Memories of his life back here in Connecticut....not sure what has happened since, I just ...

BigEd

Yes Vinnie has been very quiet, he usually responds to my messages quite quickly yet I haven't heard a "Peep"....hoping all is well with him and that he still makes this years "Chiller Theater" in April.

BigEd

Looks like a New Kiss "Lego Movie" in the making !

BigEd

I'm not going to Debate what Vinnie would or would not do if he had continued on with Kiss, but here is just a little food for thought....though I'm not a Musician I know personally what it's to be underpaid, unappreciated and taken advantage of, yet when I finally found a job, that respected me ...

BigEd

I'm sure if Gene & Paul never did anything musically ever again at that point, they still had Nice Bank Account's and could have lived comfortably for the rest of their lives on Royalties from Album & Merchandise Sales....I don't blame Vinnie for not signing that Contract, especially when you trying ...

BigEd

Looks Sweet !

BigEd

Vic, yes there were a few back & forth e-mails but those were never saved, remember this interaction was 7 years before Vinnie's 2018 Atlanta Expo Appearance, now I'm not a Derrick Christopher or Neil Davis type Promoter looking to make a Buck, I was merely a "Fan" trying to get Vinnie to return and ...

BigEd

Hey Guy's, I have never shared this e-mail with anyone but now I think the Time has come....

This e-mail was in regards to Vinnie possibly coming back to Bridgeport,Ct in 2011 ....billed as "The Return of Vinnie Vincent" at the 1,400 seat Klein Memorial in Bridgeport, needless to say it never ...

BigEd

Looked like a Fun Show and what a Nice Photo of the two of you together !

BigEd

I would be Happy merely seeing Vinnie play some Acoustic and talking about his Time in Dan Hartman, Treasure & The Warrior Demo's....

BigEd

I've spoken to Steve Wilkie in the Past, he's really a Good Guy....I know he did a lot for Vinnie and hopefully will continue to do things for Him, I really can't see "Them" having a Falling Out but I guess anything is Possible !

BigEd

Hey Vic, yeah it was within the Last Week and Kind of Ironic that I had just Spoken with his Lovely Sister....

BigEd

Hey Kevin, great to hear from ya and Thanks for the Kind Words....Don't worry Dino, I don't take anything from You or Anyone else Personally, everyone has their right to an opinion or with sufficient evidence to back it up !

BigEd

Wow Dino, you have a Great Memory being that I was Booted Twice….and though I have been told by one of Our Mutual Friends that Vinnie considered me a “Friend” I even corrected Him stating that He’s your Friend, I’m merely just a Fan and that’s all I’ll ever be !

BigEd

On "Euphoria" I was listed as a "Top Contributor" yet I was recently let go unexpectedly, for what I call a Matter of an Opinion.... I've always been Supportive of Vinnie and We go back a long way, living 10 minutes from Vinnie clearly gave me a Little Advantage as a Fan, Vinnie was always Cool with ...

BigEd

Yes he did....it was an Automatic !

BigEd

Hey Dino, I never Implied that is was You that was Castrating Him, so sorry if you took that as an Insult....I think regardless of Faysal's capabilities, we should just be Happy that we may hear some Music, considering all the Years we have waited !

BigEd

I've said it before that this Young Man has a Very Nice Voice, were right on the Cusp of either hearing New, Re-Recorded or takes on some Unreleased Demo's and some people would rather "Castrate Him", then give the Guy a Chance !

BigEd

That's Picture is Freaking Awesome....talk about a Great Christmas Present !

BigEd

I think the Young Man, considering the "Criticism" he knowingly would face and the "Big Shoes" he'd have to Fill, did an Outstanding Job ! Just like all of you, I hope more Music is Released and maybe a Small Club Circuit Tour to boot !

BigEd

I'm just gonna throw in my 2 Cents in here....I can understand the Frustrations of some of the Members here in regards to Vinnie's Music being Released but I think your Tar & Feathering this Young Man who actually has a Pretty Nice Voice without giving him a chance, granted he may not be a "Well ...

BigEd

A Million To One is the The Best Song on that Album, Vinnie's Guitar Work is Amazing and the Song Kicks Ass, it really should have been released as a Single !

BigEd

What a Nice Interview Bruce gave, such a Loving & Respectful Tribute to the "Both" of them....

BigEd

Guys, "Pexel's" Suck....Go to or do a Search here on the VVFF under ( Vinnie's Childhood Friend! ) you can see the Special Video !

BigEd

My Video was up earlier but "Pexels" seems to be giving me "Big Balls" on Copyright Shit and must have removed it sometime earlier today !

BigEd

Here's the Man in Action, this video is from a few years back....

BigEd

Not looking for attention here guy's....but it was I that leaked the 1st picture on the Euphoria Website the other day, Al Ferrante is actually a Good Friend of Mine and supplied me with those pictures, Al is an Amazing Guitarist who also "Played & Toured" with Edgar Winter ! I naturally go to his ...

BigEd

Dino your Correct, yes I got shown the door like others and with nowhere to go I landed here at the VVFF, as for my thoughts on Vinnie showing up for a Concert or Appearance in Bridgeport, Yeah I truly felt that it had a Good 60/40 chance of happening seeing Vinnie & I grew up 10 minutes apart, His ...

BigEd

I've met Steve and had probably a 45 minute phone conversation with him in regards to bringing Vinnie back to Bridgeport for a Concert/Event....now I'm not going to get into the aspect of how to "Handle" One's Career but I will say that Mr. Wilkie is actually a Real Nice Guy and whether you agree or ...

BigEd

If I have my Date(s) right, I went to the July 13th 1988 Iron Maiden Show at the New Haven, CT Coliseum....Iron Maiden Played but Frehley's Comet was a "No Show" without any Explanation to the Crowd, from what I remember.... ( Man was I PISSED !!! )

BigEd

I think it would be quite insulting to all the Fan's, if Gene & Paul didn't invite all of the Ex-Members to perform at the Final Madison Square Garden Shows, I Hope that Vinnie is Invited and they Truly Acknowledge All His Contributions, maybe they'll even let him play Lick It Up or War Machine ...

BigEd

For a 24 yr old kid, who was Teaching Guitar and Playing in relatively Unknown Bands at the time, I think Mark did an Amazing Job on Vocals....especially on the songs Love Kills, Time of the Year and Ecstacy, which in My Opinion are True Masterpieces !

BigEd

I'm Glad Vin finally released something, it's been a long time coming....I'm No Guitar Player but would have Loved to Hear him play something like his Melodic "Ya Know I'm Pretty Shot", or something like the Solo from Saint & Sinner and maybe a few Jewel's from Treasure/Invasion/ASG, either way I'm ...

BigEd

Very Well Spoken Uncle Kevin....nobody is Perfect and We all have a share of Difficulties/Issues....We've Waited and Always Wanted the Best for Vinnie, I truly hope he releases some New Music in the Near Future !

BigEd

That's Quite Amazing, you clearly have a Gift there !

BigEd

Vic, Thanks for all your Hard Work keeping this Forum Alive, may You and all of Our Members have a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year !

BigEd

Just be Yourself as Genebaby has suggested....take her out for a Nice Dinner, dress appropriate, be well groomed and get yourself a nice bottle of Cologne, this will go much further than "Any Tape" you can make....if all fails, you may have to Hire "Poserboy" as a Dating Consultant, for he has a Way ...

BigEd

James Christian is an Amazing Singer, I had the Pleasure of seeing him numerous times with his band "Eye's" in Bridgeport...Yes the lines were Long and your Lucky if you even got it the Joint....seeing that James & Vinnie were living a mere (2) Town's away from each other, It's hard to believe that ...

BigEd

Nice Pictures, Sounds like you had a Great Time even though it didn't go as planned....

BigEd

Kev, Rick is "Tied Up" at the Moment but he likes it That Way !

BigEd

Very Nice Picture, glad you got to the opportunity to hang and get a picture with him, love his work with the Babys & Bad English !

BigEd

I Love Smoothies....so does my Dentist !

BigEd

I'll take a Guess....Capitol Building in Hartford and that your a Resident of Connecticut, just like Me !

BigEd

Spoke with Him many times....Humble Guy, With Such Amazing Talent !

BigEd

My Good Man, what a Work of Art....You are truly the Picasso of Miniatures !

BigEd

That was Awesome, guy definitely has Talent !

BigEd

Truly a Sad Day, My Condolences to Vinnie & The Cusano Family....

BigEd

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!
