Bruce Kulick in that video does make me smile though :lol:

On a side note, I read a lot about VV never being seen in public. Do you guys truly think he never leaves the house anymore? The more think about it the more crazy it would seem. I mean, living in the same neighbourhood as an ex KISS guitarist, 80's rock star must stir up SOME interest. Someone must see him, unless he goes out disguised or something. Just seems strange to me. It is very hard to simply disappear.

Personally I think he is dressed like a woman when he leaves his house or he is dead! It can't be that nobody see him in the last 10 years. NOBODY!!!!! That's not normal. Nobody has seen him personally since 1997! Dino has spoken with him. Really with him??? He heard "his" voice on the phone... Was it him or somebody else? Nobody knows.....
That's my opinion!

Nada, Nothing, Zero....No evidence that the guy is terrestrial, amount the living. That why I saying what I'm saying.
metatron wrote: I'm of the belief that Vinnie Vincent is either dead or institutionalized. Basic fact... No one & I mean no one has physically seen the guy for over 17 years. Fact 2 : It's pretty easy for someone to impersonate Vinnie via e-mails & phone calls. At the end of the day talk is cheap. Anyone can pretend to be another person via e-mail & phone, we've all seen Vinnie clones all over the net. But it harder to pull off faking a public appearance...lets say like NAMM. So how about it Vinnie (or more like Tom Palecki, Diane Cusaon, Les Kero)....How about a little less talk & a little bit more action (as in a public appearance)
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.

Yeah, wolfie, exactly! That's not normal I think we can rule out VV being dead though. There are many things that would support this. As for the cross-dressing rumpled, well... sometimes rumours can be just rumours. I think a lot of that would develop from VV's over the top image in the first place, the same could be said about a lot of 80's stars. Only thing that is different is that they can be seen in public to alleviate such rumours ever getting off the ground. VV cant. While he remains in seclusion, unfortunately the rumours will simply continue. But of course some rumours also have basis in fact. I wonder if we'll ever find out.

i am 100% sure i was speaking to vv on the phone.. i was on a 3 way with his lawyer. his voice was the same and he knew way too many strange facts to be anyone else. also his lawyer assured me it was him in many emails. also how would i have known all the namm stuff way in advance?? the ad way in advance? and many many other things.

Dino is telling the truth 100%
It's funny how Vinnie call the youtube the only official open site , he was against using youtube
and we were convicing him until he agreed. For real proof about it i can show you
if you go to his official channel :
http://www.youtube.com/user/vinnievincentguitar1
Created on May 6 2010

i can show you :

http://www.youtube.com/user/vinnievincentguitar and
http://www.youtube.com/user/vvmodelguitar

We were testing waters and teaching him how to use the youtube accounts.

i remember that Vinnie thought using Youtube and Vimeo is not professional and will look cheap

I think he should do a YouTube blog. Like a monthly update and maybe throw in a free guitar class or play a new solo or two. He could easily do something to show his appreciation and blow his fans away.. but he never will. Nothing for nothing with vinnie.

Yeah I laugh at that too! Not a good thing to have on your only advertisement for a product you're trying to sell!

Dino - I don't spoke out that you don't say the truth!!! I believe you!!!!!!!!!!
But you don't have see him personally or am I wrong? I WILL hope that he is among the living and playing guitar and writing songs. But my wish it to see him...a new pic..a youtube film... you know what I mean.

My Vinnie theory is that he suffers from manic depression and his vice is food... I think he has become fat and bloated like a late 70's Elvis Presley and is too embarrassed to show his face to the general public... This may sound really mean but there has to be a reason for his seclusion from the world!?

I agree Wolfie I don't care what Vin looks like now cause he is an amazing musical talent but Vinnie may have an issue with himself and his appearance now?? He could have self esteem issues... Who knows I'm just throwing out theories here... Only Vin and his family know the truth... I wish he would speak to us...

he wont speak to anyone. he will use an alias but he will only use it to try and sell a product or say something about Paul and Gene. He has already killed off the guitar with the loony youtube ad and the crazy prices as well as the stopping of the catalog.

it takes so long because he advertises stuff before he even has someone to do it.

why he needs to say something is coming is beyond me.

vinnie knows that me and many of us are very willing to listen to a heartfelt explanation and would be very considerate and compassionate if he came to us. But he just wants to keep the b.s. and enemy shit going.

Wow nothing has changed at all. Incredible, not a single lesson learned by Vincenzo (Mindy as I like to call him). The same obsessive use of the "H" word. Too funny :lol:


Belated thanks for the scans & info to Doug 8)

It never ceases to amaze how some people will forgive him anything. Hell I threw my ex girlfriend out after I found out she had racist views. Seems anti Semitic/racist views are still good for some people.

If he kept them secret or between other like minded people I suppose is ok, its just crazy to do this publically when you have fans from all back grounds.

I love how in the letter VINNIE was in all caps.
And on another side note, I like the way the Ballads collection cd artwork looked. :D
