Vinnie's Autograph !

[BigEd]

Here's my Vinnie Vincent autograph from right after the "Revenge" writing period...It was a day I'll always remember, Just Me & Vinnie in good old Bridgeport, Connecticut

Ed, Tell us a story !!!!

[Genebaby]

Lucky you Ed!

[BigEd]

Here's the story for you good little Boys & Girls....One day I had to drop something off to my wife who's a Nurse at a local hospital, she was one of Vinnie's Dad's Nurse's. I was waiting for the elevator to leave when I noticed an individual with long black hair at the end of the hallway admiring artwork on the walls. I was a bit curious for this was not your everyday hair...It was Rock & Roller hair and there was something different about the way this person carried himself. As I approached my heart started to race, with the thoughts of could it be the Egyption Warrior in the flesh ??? I was within 10 ft when he turned my way and low and behold it was Vinnie. I made eye contact with him and said...Your Vinnie Vincent !!! Vinnie looked a little surprised that I knew just who he was and was so cool and happy to chat. We talked and walked around admiring the artwork, I told him how huge a KISS fan I was and how much I enjoyed his guitar playing, songwriting and all the contributions to KISS and The VV Invasion, Vinnie was so humble and thanked me for my kind words. I then told him how much I enjoyed the 3 songs he helped penned on "Revenge" and that Heart of Chrome was my favorite ! Ya see Vinnie's Dad was back in the hospital and this was a truly hard time for Vinnie to be happy or cordial to anyone considering the circumstances....We hung out and talked for about 15 minutes, I knew I had to let him get back to his Father & Family, so we shook hands and said goodbye, I mustered up the courage to ask him for his autograph and he said sure, no problem! I grabbed a piece of paper and pen from a nurse and the rest is history, I just can't believe how cool, nice and understanding Vinnie was under the conditions, ask yourself how many Guitar Gods that you know would do something like that ????

[Genebaby]

That's very cool.

Here's the story for you good little Boys & Girls....

First time anyone's called us good!! I'm touched!

Vinnie comes off as a genuinely nice guy. Such a shame what he did to his career.

[doublev2]

He's nice at first as anyone will tell you.

[poserboy71]

Thanks Ed. That should end the rumors that Vinnie wasn't around for his Dad.

[Portillo]

He's nice at first as anyone will tell you.

So once he gets into the studio he transforms into the devil?

Just like any Father & Son relationships, there will always be disagreements and strains...I have them with both of my 2 boy's and sometime I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong...We live and learn but we will always love & care for each other !!! You have to remember Vinnie didn't live all that close to Connecticut and it's hard to provide care or be with your loved one's when you live miles away, I'm sure he did the best he could....

Hi Guy's...Yes it was such a memorable experience and something I will never forget !!! I continue to hope that someday "WE" all will all get to witness the Return Of Vinnie Vincent !!!

[poserboy71]

Yes---"WE"

[doublev2]

the return of vinnie's music would be nice but I don't see if happening. to be honest i have no interest in demos and hearing a drum machine version of GFH so actually I am not sure what I am waiting to hear.
