Post 'em up. (PICTURES)

I'll start with the COTN Tour in February of 1983. MY AVATAR ALSO.

THAT should've been the Creatures cover. Whoever added Vinnie to that did a killer job.

My fave Vinnie memory was finally getting the first Invasion album and being blown away... by the songs, playing AND image. Also seeing him in Circus magazine in an ad for Night Flight and wondering what character he was supposed to be. It took me 4 years to see what his makeup really looked like when that KISS Exposed magazine came out in May '87 to coincide with the KISS Exposed video... it was kinda weird finally seeing him up close in the ankh... some really great Vinnie makeup photos in that magazine.

I love all those Rock Scene mags from the 80's.

Even then I realised what crazy people Kiss fans were. They had the most "special" mags about them but they were not the biggest band out there anymore. Not that I was complaining, I bought them all!!

I have a few old issues of 'Rock Scene and clipped out the articles of VVI to put in my scrapbook. My only wish is that some of the pages were made a bit stronger.

Not having come from that time period, its really neat to read the articles of what was happening as it was happening back then.

sorry that shouldn't have been the cover. Vinnie played on less than half the songs as a session musician. I don't understand why people think VV played on most of the record.
If they were true to the band it would have only had 3 members on the cover.

Yes, but Ace played on NONE of it and he had already decided to leave the band! If anything, put Vinnie, Steve Farris, Bob Kulick, Robben Ford, Mike Porcaro and Jimmy Haslip on the cover too!

In all honesty, of course they did the right thing to keep from being sued by Polygram (putting Ace on the cover).

I think just hearing I love it loud for the first time and going finally kiss is back.. I didn't know Vinnie was on the record but it was a fist pumping hell ya listening to it.

1031, Yes.
I remember there was a magic and excitement in the air that every one of your senses could have a taste of. That period holds such importance in my life.

the day ASG came out. I ran to the store and bought it in all three formats plus the next day I got them all again as I pre-ordered them from a mail order company. Also the day I saw the first VVI record in a store by chance.

I also may have been the only person who cried when I read vvi had split up back in September 1988.

That's not correct: I've done the same!

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:25 am

Haha. At the time there was no interest in the vvi break up. Good to know I wasn't alone.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:08 pm

It hurt the people that were fans then that are still fans today.

You can not be a big fan of vinnie and be aproved by him because if you are a big fan of vinnie you are going to research him and find that you wished you hadn't. The only fans he can have that he is going to be cool with are casual fans.

That photo is hard to take as a fan from the 80's.. He looks fucking terrible in the mug shot

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:16 pm

Are there ever any good mug shots??? I thought he looked ok considering......

Brooklyn_Born · Post by **Brooklyn_Born** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:19 pm

Yeah good point Shram, even Yasmine Bleeth looked like shit in her mug shot

shramiac · Post by **shramiac** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:28 pm

Sheesh! She looked baaaaaaaaad. That's drugs for ya!!!

Brooklyn_Born · Post by **Brooklyn_Born** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:35 pm

Just say No

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:15 pm

yeah its not the best moment to take a picture, but its got to be somewhat accurate regarding age. Does look a little like he has make up on but hard to tell.

gonnarock · Post by **gonnarock** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:47 am

I think Vinnie looks so sad in his mug shot. The look in his eyes, he is very sad.

But I do however think he looks handsome still. Perhaps maybe tired.

I retouched up his mug shot in photoshop and didn't have to do all that much to it to make a difference.I like how my touchup turned out.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:19 am

looks better but touch up isn't real.

I know that. I never said it was a real photo, I just was showing what I did in photoshop with it.

PinkWiz · Post by **PinkWiz** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:19 pm

For a nearly 60 year old man I think Vinnie looks pretty good... definitely better than Paul and Gene's fake ass faces and WAAAAY fukn better than (gulp!) Ace and Peter. Vinnie's on par with how Bruce looks today for his age and looks better than Mark did (but Mark's looks were self-inflicted... much like Ace's... too much drugs and alcohol).

gonnarock · Post by **gonnarock** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 4:46 am

I like that he hasn't had anything cosmetic done. I think he looks good.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:05 am

yeah i am not a fan of cosmetic surgery and we are all going to be old as shit sooner or later.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:24 am

gonnarock.. what do you think of this?

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:26 am

i have never seen a guy in pink look as hard as Vinnie in that.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:46 am

I still cannot stand to see that photo. Too sad for me.

The guy is 59 years old and still looks pretty damn good in his MUGSHOT.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 11:08 am

Absolutely. It is still too upsetting to see him like that though. It sucks when a hero is a dick.

Too true!!! Looks a hell of a lot better than many of the other celebs that have had their pic taken!

Very sad that we had to see him for the first time in 7 years or so in this fashion though!

Post by **Genebaby** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 12:01 pm

There are plenty of younger celebs who look way worse in their mugshots.

this picture was taken about 3 in the morning a few days after his dogs christmas and bella were killed. He was still stressed out. And then when the swat team came at him he was asleep and woke up to find laser on him. He had no pillow and no toilet paper in his cell.

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:20 pm

He was asleep? Didn't they finally get in pretty early on the evening? After Diane had left covered in blood?

So he had a nap? Is that believable as the truth? Is this what he told you guys?

vvjunkie · Post by **vvjunkie** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:55 pm

It was at almost midnight so he says and they took the pic about 3am that's what he told us

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:40 pm

It was around 8or9. Also he doesn't go to sleep until 5 or 6am

Post by **Genebaby** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:14 pm

Yes, it makes no sense that he would be sleeping after what had happened, how could you?

The cops were there pretty early. It seems to be another rewrite of history to suit himself. Or a lie in plain English. Why does Vinnie always have to be the innocent victim? Even in this circumstance.

It does go well with the "All charges have been dropped" lie.

So he lies to the world at large and to the DV faithful, tsk, tsk.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:33 am

O.K -Tell everyone the song he was singing to himself while he was in the cell. Make Judy Garland proud !!!!

vvjunkie · Post by **vvjunkie** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:39 am

Somewhere over the rainbow that's what he sings when he is scared

You are CORRECT !!!!

PinkWiz · Post by **PinkWiz** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 2:24 pm

he could have possibly been passed out when they raided his house? don't know if he drinks or not but they said Diane wreaked of alcohol.
