Seriously CONCERNED

[poserboy71]

Guys and Gals,
I am extremely concerned about the situation we have here. There were and are times when this is humorous but when you allow yourself to think about things , there can only be a few explanations for Vinnie's behavior and they are scary :

*** He "MIGHT BE" mentally unwell
*** He "MIGHT BE" using things that enhance his paranoia and horrible decisions.

Either way, Vinnie seems in desperate need of some understanding. The guy obviously needs a fucking hug.
I hope that he doesn't piss someone off enough to do something stupid. It seems that is the only power that Vinnie has left and he wants to utilize it.

I WILL defend everything we have done (and will do) and will fight him if he goes over the line, but until that time, I will offer my support to him. He obviously is not thinking rationally.

I am not saying this to be funny or to belittle Vinnie, but this doesn't seem like a fair fight.
If there has to be a fight, I want MUHAMMAD ALI in his PRIME and not in 1980.
If I absolutely knew Vinnie had his wits about him and he continued to fuck with us ,then our INTELLECTS would go to battle.Something is VERY WRONG and just like I wouldn't physically fight a quadriplegic , I will try my best to not fight a 58 year old man with questionable mental health .

My children have a better sense of humanity and compassion than Vinnie is showcasing at the moment.


Again , while I kind find great humor in this, I feel that we need to re-evaluate what we need to do here to remain the good people that we are and not get sucked up into Vinnie's hate and disgust.

fight him if he goes over the line, but

But he has 'gone over the line',,, several time. Talk to those people who lost a combined $30,000 from his box set scam. Talk to those people who purchased fake 'original' Vinnie/Rhoads guitars. Talk to those people who didn't get paid for their work doing recordings for for him. Talk to Gene, Paul & Bruce. Talk to the guys in Slaughter...Talk to the fans who have reached out & tried to help even after after he has done all the previous stuff I mentioned.....The list goes on & on, Do you want me to continue With this Youtube crap he basically is crossing the line on a daily bases. FUCK HIM & the HORSE HE RODE IN ON.

[metatron]

Vinnie is a 'habitual line crosser'

You are correct Dannii. I was talking about the line of ACTUALLY SUING one of us but I wasn't clear enough.

The shit against our boy Tommy isn't a criminal charge . Vinnie was even careful to not have his name attached to the legal proceedings. Diane's name is on the order.

Vinnie must have a huge cock to get her to fuck with fans as well.

[Genebaby]

It is certainly sad it's come to this. Things keep getting worse.

Is this how Vinnie wants to go out? To be remembered? As a reclusive internet crackpot?

History will remember all this.

Schobel is so kind hearted about Vinnie but I just dont have it in me with out him making any positive efforts.

Forget about the musical genious and what your left with is the fact that he is a horrible human being. Literally the scourge of humanity that has done wrong to nearly every one that has crossed his path in a business transaction. He is estranged from his children and family which I would equate to someone shitting in their own bed. It would appear that Diane is the only person in the world that he treats like a human being. I've said it before "Vinnie, send me those Archives that I paid you for 15 years ago or the equivalent and I will shut up and never say another negative word about you again because in the end you did right by my wife" Continue as you are and be publically ridiculed as the theiving, thankless, miserable, fan hating and ungreatful bastard that you appear to be until the day that you die and go to HELL. The worst stupidity and illness that you exibit is that fact that you could easily fix and make things right with everyone here and save your soul and you refuse even when your welcomed with open arms. What a miserable drag queen insignificant speck of vomit you are!

Fuck you!

That's so spot on the money, it has to got up twice. Well said Kev...Vinnie the truth will set u free,,,read this & use it as a mirror...mofo!

[doublev]

No question he deserves these comments. He never takes the high ground and just acts cool . I haVe never known someone be so uncool and ruthlessly unpleasant among other things.

A double C perhaps ?
That would certainly please some ladies!

And I even felt bad for Vinnie when Ed Roman had that little posting on his site that basically said "If any man, woman or transvestite can prove to me that there is a copyright on the VV guitar." I called Ed Roman, and we talked for over a half an hour. Ed agreed that what he wrote was a little harsh, and he removed that comment. I thought that was pretty cool of him to do that.

[Genebaby]

Ed is nicer than Vinnie, who would have guessed it?

[poserboy71]

I've talked to Ed Roman a few times at length. Surprisingly, he was very cordial when we spoke of Vinnie.

For what it's worth...

There may have been good intentions about a comeback initially, but it’s all shot to shit.

The phone has gone, the catalogue too it seems. You’ll probably never get a reply from the email now, and there will be no more guitars. Goodness knows what will happen to the guitars nearly finished – I doubt they can be sold unless someone sanctions it, which won’t happen.

The youtube video is so old now, it was never even updated with even one picture after the guitars were unveiled at NAMM.

There has been nothing from the horse’s mouth, or pictures or credible endorsements, nothing to actually give credibility to his ‘front’ company. Others involved appear to have nothing to say.

The company appears to have lost the plot completely, given up on announcements, and, apparently unable to do or control anything and everything it want to, has resorted to ridiculous threats.

There won’t be any music either, if there ever really was going to be.

To Mr Cusano, there is no challenge from this quarter to show me mettle (or metal), he couldn’t accept it, in the same way he seems unable to accept help, friendship or humanity – seeing it instead as hostility.

Give it up whoever you are, close the youtube account and do everyone a favour and crawl back under your stone, nurse your dented pride by all means, and try to be safe and happy - disappear into memory once again, at least we’ll really know where Vinnie Vincent is then – nowhere.

A beautiful and poignant post above.

Vinnie,
Start being cool or GO AWAY !!! I will always be a fan.

[Fullshed]

Nice post(s) above friends-

On a similar note, I remember when Frehley filed bankruptcy, he literally included small debts similar to the boxed set fiasco...I wonder why Vinnie didnt just handle it like that? Then, it would be the end of it

[Genebaby]

Has Vinnie done the bankruptcy trick since 97? Or has it just been failed court cases?

[Fullshed]

Gene-
I believe he has amended (included stuff) to bankruptcy filings. They have to be after '97. I'm sure someone like Dino can verify that by memory..

[WizKid]

Since he keeps updating the language on the youtube page I posted a comment (that is now "pending approval") that basically said:

"Your continuous updating of your description to sound more scary has done nothing to cause me to start shaking in fear. Your threats are preposterous and haven't dissuaded me at all from what I'm planning. A judge will laugh you out of the courtroom. I'll be sure to let you know when the show airs."

[Genebaby]

Sweet Chris, sweet.

[ozone73]

I doubt Vinnie will ever change the way he treats his fans. I would almost rather have him stay hidden away in his little world. That way we can focus, remember, and celebrate his music ... which we are all a fan of anyways. Just my opinion.

I'll be sure to let you know when the show airs."

I'm sure that got Vinnie's panties in a bundle. LoL!

[poserboy71]

Ozone= CORRECT

[syncophile42]

Unfortunately he cannot go away because we will not go away.

He can't handle us because he can't control us, which is probably driving him nuts.

He's reacting the only way he knows how.

What is it with these guys? Both great guitarists in my favourite band in the world and both do the most dubious things to rip fans off in their spare time...

When people say, would you like to meet your heroes, my answer is no, not really, they don't sound like very pleasant people at all... don't worry Vinnie, you can keep your privacy.
