well, read on th fb that a swedish band have been in contact with vv and that vv has promised to be a guest on their demo that will be released in jan 2015.

hard to believe.

what band? I can actually think of one,...guitar ?, vocals?..

Would be cool if Vinnie did something....anything!

impera

one of the members has been in touch with vv for many years...

it will probably not happen.

Don't anybody hold your breath. Go on with your lives people.......

lol maybe it was just to make some noise ....

Funny comment :
Doug Canipe I also did not record with Vinnie Vincent. I just didn't create a press release about it. Maybe I should. Hey...I also did not record with Ozzy. Maybe I'll mention that too.

Swedish rock band IMPERA featuring four well known members from Sweden managed to track down the legendary ex KISS guitar player Vinnie Vincent to play a guest solo on their new album "Empire Of Sin" that is coming out January 23rd on Escape Music.

IMPERA are known for their love and ties to KISS, they recorded a cover of Paul Stanley's solo album song "Goodbye" with Bob Kulick as special guest, band leader JK Impera used to run the Kiss Army in Sweden and has played with Bruce Kulick and Vinnie Vincent before, guitarist Tommy Denander plays on Paul Stanley's last solo album "Live To Win" and has recorded and performed with Eric Singer, Bruce and Bob Kulick before, bassist Mats Vassfjord has also played with Vinnie Vincent before.

“The whole rock world is wondering where Vinnie is today so I was very happy when I got hold of him, and I was even more thrilled when he said yes to play a guest solo on our new Impera album but unfortunately in the end it all fell apart because it was not enough time so close to the release to make it happen which is ok, I´m happy he said yes and we wish him all the best, maybe on the next one says JK Impera”.

Ok, so they have a lot of Kiss and Vinnie connections, that's cool.

Fucking fools could still record it and release it at SOME POINT.
I CALL BULLSHIT !!!!

Impera just promoting their new album. Thats all.

Those Impera guys actully knew Vinnie pretty well back in 90's. Some of them were supposed to play on GUITARMAGEDDON demos or on actual album. I recall they might have demoed something. The whole thing went down cos Vinnie didn't get that sweed vocalist he wanted to have (ex-Malmsteen). This guy waited and waited for VV to contact him and when he finally did this guy had already a new band. VV was very angry blaiming that he sabotaged his whole carrier. Do you know the story?

Detroit please tell story again.
Are you talking Goran? Who did he blame for sabotaging his career? He has blamed at least 8 people of same thing in long letters inc robert fleischman, many execs at chrysalis, kiss, me, and Managers.

Never understood why vv always searching for singer when he could do it himself.

he doesnt like his voice most likely, i really love his voice, it was a huge mistake that he didnt record more.

Vinnie does have a great voice. I know he himself doesn't seem to like his voice but perhaps it's more because singing just isn't his thing.

Someone can be very good at something, but if they don't enjoy it then they have no interest in doing it...no matter how good they are.

At least we were blessed to hear his playing

I think he likes his own voice
On dv board he was talking about releasing tracks with him singing. Gene simmons recently sad he sang great too.

Sing for us, Vin!

Yep, never understood his need for a singer... Eric Carr even stated that Vinnie had a great voice. It's odd that such a control freak like VV would put up with the headache of having another vocalist.

If you've ever run a band you'll know the KISS approach is a good one. The more members the more potential for problems.
When I became the only guitarist it was that much easier to organise. A three piece is the dream but unless we found a drummer who can sing and play awesome we are stuck as neither my bass player or I are fit for covering the singing full time.

Vinnie doesn't have this problem and he could have eliminated his singer issues had he made VVI a power trio.

I never could figure out as much as he wanted to be the center of attention why he didn't . Also he had to know that the money follows the vocals for the most part. He could have been a much better position biz and label wise.

Maybe record label didn't think he was right type as front man?

I'm not sure how they viewed Robert but Chrysalis was sure quite taken with Mark, which was not good for the band in the end.

The label (and Dana) were keen on a young pretty boy to front the band. It makes sense.

And yet, you weren't considered! Shame Chrysalis, shame!

Through Facebook, I asked the group on which title played Vinnie and here is the answers:

Thank you for the answer, and I really hope for the next album! Vinnie deserves the biggest respect and what a guitarist and composer, I envy you to have been next and worked him with him!

Did Vinnie talk to them recently or years ago?

i think it was done to generate press and attention, but maybe they interchanged a few emails and Vinnie said yes he would love to
but ...ya know he is pretty shot

This was a recent thing.

Vinnie will never play on someone else's album for less that 100k and pre paid at bands own risk, but will never ever happen
