Something about Vinnie I wrote in 1996!

I don't agree with lots of business practices, but this is the world we live. Unless you got deep pockets you can't fight the system...And if you got deep pockets your probably one of the guys working the system to your own benefit. Mayer Amschel Rothschild was quoted saying 'Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes it’s laws.'
Cause people like the Rothchilds know they'll have the law makers in their front pocket if they can control the money supply. Hello (the planned) Global Final Crises or How to Rob a Bank,,,own one.
Sorry VV, you just a 'smuck' like the rest of us (that was for you Gene Simmons if you are reading, you'll get the irony)

Kiss got taken by the business for a lot more than vinnie too.

Gene and Paul were just in the right place at the right time in 1973. If not for Bill Aucoin both probably would've been among the thousands of failed musicians in New York. They became "smart businessmen" after the fact... they just took over what Bill Aucoin started business-wise.

Right now, Vinnie is basically in the same position as most musicians, except he has a history in the music industry. The music industry has changed alot since Vinnie started out. Pop and rap changed the demand for composers and musicians. It's tougher to get a break....Vinnie should begin renewing his career in the night club circuit. New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas...all have metal clubs...and Vinnie still has a name. He can sing, play guitar...all he needs to do is organize a back up band. Reading comments on you tube, people seem to favor Vinnie's singing voice anyway..I like his voice..it's a good speaking and singing voice...So he has advantages, and disadvantages... not alot of pull in the biz or money...but alot of talent and he is an influence to a generation of guitar players. He could make more money than he is now. From there, he could think about demos, and releasing material. There are independent labels. Metal Blade is a good one. He's got to start thinking in terms of "baby steps".

The partying got pretty heavy in the 80s, it affected the music, at times. I wouldn't get too focused on the hair metal gone awry albums. Vinnie's guitar playing depends on whether he's practicing. That's an unknown element. We don't know if he sits on the edge of the bed and plays or not.

No matter how Vinnie feels about gossip, he needs to break bread with his fans. Talking about celebrities and former celebrities is part of the culture. He needs to consider the approach, "all publicity is good publicity". All fans are good fans, as well. A business teacher used to tell the class, "the we is smarter than the I." To me, that meant, "we are all playing for the same team..."

This post says it all and makes perfect sense... too bad Vinnie's ego will override common sense everytime.

I think the kiss accountant took off with most of there Money in the late 80s if I am not mistaken.

Wow Chris, great detective work. That's the final & fatal Smack Down on VV ass. He had to be in KISS. You'd thing if his ego was go big be would have left KISS the first time, not gone back, made a new band & then sued them for the rights he was owed. Big Fuckup VV, Big Fucky. & you had good legal advice. Man that really is a 'fool me twice shame on me' situation. Shame on you VV, not only did you screw yourself over but inturn you've screwed your fans.

as i said be fore the story goes from his former attorney ( now deceased) he was fired from kiss and to get back in the band they wanted the songs.. thats why it happend.. they wanted the tunes and VV wanted kiss. end of story.

[doublev2]

You mean after the European tour he was fired and then to get back in he gave the rights to his music?

What a douchebag. Was his name Arthur Anderson?

[Shred4hire]

the first time he was fired, he gave up the songs to get back in the band. and then was fired again.

Is this why he sues kiss. It's a little ruthless to be honest . A big big mistake . But vv does own at least some kiss tunes because kiss wanted to have vv pay court costs to them by taking ownership of his kiss tunes. Maybe it wasn't.all of them or100% ???
