If anyone back in the early to mid 2000s was emailing or speaking to the person at vvi88@aol.com
Please share your experience and if you still have any records please post them. It appears that this person really was vinnie even though at the time I said it was bs. Thanks.

Also we believe a few other aol accounts also.

I can not say how I got this but that email has now 100% been proven that it was vinnies. I can also say he was trying to sell his own guitar through that email address.
I would like any emails anyone got from aol accounts claiming to know or be vinnie in the 2000s . Either post them here or pm me please . If you are not member please email me or board admin.

Drew do you have anything?

We know it was Vinnie and also what legal hassles it caused a dear friend of our forum. Someone will have their justice on a silver platter SOON. Fuck you Vinnie.

i didn't believe it until I have confirmation now. Wow. What madness.

Too bad it doesn't exist anymore. I could have IM-ed Vinnie.

Love this Go Ricky Go!

Bada bing, bada boom.

Vinnie was communicating with fans with that aol email through instant messenger from about 2002 to 2009 we believe. He had even told people through that email that he was vegatarian and took in mistreated animals. As well as telling on person he wanted to give him a free guitar.
I didn't believe it at the time stupidly.

He would log in during the day and late at night . He even told people his wife had gone to sleep and other things.

Wow, that's really sad.

I had printed out every one of them. I haven't read them in years. I'm not sure if I kept them after reading it wasn't him.

Well its him. I was pretty damn surprised.

doublev2 wrote:Well its him. I was pretty damn surprised.

I wish it was still active.

He has other active email addresses, just doesn't always reply, as per usual.

he has lots , all hacked by the way

It seems to be quite usual.

V..... V.....*

Here is a letter from Vinnie's VVI88@aol address:

really sounds like him ! "vicious" is a give away !
have dinner ! wow !

thats 100% Vinnie. Look at the time. Middle of the night is when VV comes alive.

Are you able to tell why you are looking for emails sent from this address? What are you trying to accomplish?

i think it just shows vv was active online when no one thought he was. Its all coming to light as many people have come forward to say this was his aol instant messenger account.
And also I have gotten official proof. The only thing it proves is that vv was around.
people were on vv forums for 14 years thinking vv was totally in hiding with no internet. Thats fine, but its interesting to know he was actually around watching and speaking to fans.

More talking from Vinnie at that account. I did know about this account but did not have any success getting a response.

I am crying. I want to go out to dinner with Vinnie and jam. Jam all night long.

His pretty purple font, I love it. Maybe I should use purple font now? I really wish this email was still active and he was still writing to people like this. Its fantastic. So cool even though it was most likely things that were not going to come true...

That is Vinnie nothing but BS and empty promises, I am putting band together, I am not putting a band together. Lets have diner and I will sell you a guitar... don't talk to this person or that.. what crap

I think at this point it would be dam near impossible to slander the guy, anything you could come up with he has more than likely done.

yes, he never does what he says, its all just hot air.

1) The guy is living in a fantasy world. "I'm thinking about going on tour. Should I get Robert and Bobby?" Geesh.

2) I'll sell you a guitar. I'll sell you a guitar. I'll sell you guitar. What a douche.

there are many more. He tries to be nice but its all to string you along.

doublev2 wrote:there are many more. He tries to be nice but its all to string you along.

Its like a cat and mouse game.

Wow these are great and oh yes that's Cusano alright. He comes across as so sincere it's such a shame it's not who he really is. Holding out the carrot to fans with suggestions of jamming and dinner just like his offers of rare audio & pictures to us on his forum. It's totally unnecessary imo. He could have been that cool guy in the emails and had a respectful relationship with his fans.

i believe when it came to selling the guitar he stopped contact with this guy.

......and the "plans" he had for the future. Totally unrealistic plans like remaking the Metal tech video because he doesn't like his tone. WTF Always trying to re write history.

whos the dumbass now? "some people just wont take no for a answer" dont make promises you cant keep asshole.

He was obviously being misled in regard to me. I think it had to do with the snuglykity@aol.com addy who was creating havoc for whatever strange reason. I never posted bad info. on any web site (kissonline, blabbermouth) nor did I have anything to do with the Kiss underground site.

Vinnie, YOU were wrong buddy!

I remember that he wrote to say he was looking forward to meeting and how much he loved the Sheraton Hotel chain, etc., etc.. My letters also included him using the same reference of meeting, having dinner, signing my guitar...

Thought it might have been in reference to you! Bummer!

I just dug into one of my drawers and found a bunch of PRINTED VV emails dating to 2003

Gonna be fun reading these..................*now!

Yeah, I just read the email from him (8 years ago) where he lumped me in with "John" from the KISS Underground site and that I was spreading false rumors about this and that on the 'net. Totally false. I remember when I read the email from him- my jaw dropped I was like WTF are you talking about VV!?!?

I've been a contributor to B'mouth for nearly a decade. Show me the proof Vin!

I suspect an APOLOGY will not be forthcoming after 8/9 years huh dude?

The rest? I bite my tongue

VV is in the studio recording with his new band as we speak. Get ready for the second coming! BTW, VV has more talent in one fucking pinky (no pun intended) than the rest of all former Kiss members combined. VV got life's short end of the stick, but his talent speaks for itself. Rock on V and.....SHRED! I LOVE my pink VV Jackson (na na na na na na) See you soon"

OH yeah! Look at those false rumours, gay bashing, "unstable" comments from yours truly!

He said that he still had his axes and that he still has the pink VVV. He said Jackson made a few of them in pink with pink matching headstocks. He said that he still has a lot of the stage clothes from the VVI era and they hang in his closet.

You were so mean with your comments Drew. So mean.

Your sentiments are great and along the lines of how I see things in regards to Vinnies talents.

Yes he never said a bad word about vinnie ever.

doublev2 wrote:Yes he never said a bad word about vinnie ever.

It's all fodder now, right? Too bad he has (had) that image in his mind. I was going to post the email but it doesn't feel right. And it's a looooong email at that. I consolidated the emails (12) and then printed them just in case it was him. I'm glad I didn't shred them though.

I remember talking to RR and he told me that VVI88@aol.com was indeed his address. But after that accusatory email I thought there was NO WAY it was him. RR was right then~

It's him . Too many others coming out of the wood work.

I think I am partly to blame because I was telling everyone that I dont believe it was him and I wouldnt let up. Sorry for that.

doublev2 wrote:I think I am partly to blame because I was telling everyone that I dont believe it was him and I wouldnt let up. Sorry for that.

I kept the emails from RR as well about what was going on with the "comeback" and the KISS Expo. I run into him every once in a while around town. He's got some funny ass stories about ..........................*

I would love love to hear those.

Eh, it adds to the mystery (misery?) that is "VV"

What's sad is that we don't give up on the guy and there's STILL a forum for him after all these years - paying homage to someone that hates his fans. We're masochists (somewhat demented) I suppose!

The Vinnie Vincent Forum ROCKS!

Hard cover or paperback?

It proves he has spent at least 9 years searching the internet instead of putting out music.

And registering hundreds and hundred of internet domains. Why he wastes his money on that stuff I don't understand.
