VV Experts , how many times did he appear in makeup 1996 ?
How many expos Vinnie wore the make up ?

Wolfgang might know since he saw that particular convention tour. I believe that I have seen two different performances with tribute bands from that tour. I'll guess it was two times before Simmons told him to stop. Either way, Simmons' cease and desist probably aided Vinnie's sour attitude on that tour. His reputation took a big hit after that.

i always wondered about that, didn't he (Vinnie) own the makeup ?

You are correct. I wonder when Vinnie acquired the rights the first time. It surprises me that Gene and Paul didn't buy the rights just to bury it.

Did he wear the makeup on the US/Canadian Expos he did?

i don't think gene could care less about owning vv's make up. in my opinon. i don;t think they will ever put anything out with vinnie in it anyway.

To own it in order to kill it.

I don't know exactly how many times Vinnie performed with make up. But I want to talk with Gerhard Wimmer who managed the hole tour with Vincent. He is the owner of www.kissnews.de. Gerhard is the greatest KISS fan in Europe. He has a huge and amazing KISS museum in Austria and from time to time he sell products of Vinnie and KISS.
He know it exactly how many times Vincent performed.
I hope he call me back today

Gerhard is a top guy. He can't believe there is a forum like this dedicated to only Vinnie.

KISSOLOGY Vol. 2 Has Vinnie in Make-up on the rear cover and it contains concert footage from the South American COTN Tour.

yes, but since then i think things have taken a new low.

A good question could be why did he refuse to play the solos ?

I have the same question. I' ve told Gerhard that I wanna know it. But I have no answer yet..

Gerhard has answered my question.

He told me that Vinnie was in make up in Atlanta 1996 and in Stockholm the same year. After the Stockholm expo he became a letter from Gene's lawyer. He was totaly pissed on...
He has now idea why Vinnie don't played any solos. He sad the lead guitarist was from the cover band (he??!!).

That's all what he has told me.

Alright Wolfgang !!! Awesome. I love how everyone here is getting into the spirit and searching for answers that all of us us want to know.

Did I dream this or did anyone else see it? I'm sure I saw in a US mag about 1996 Vinnie wearing an elaborate version of his make up with curls at the ends of the ankh... did anyone else see it?

If I did dream it, it was a cool dream to be having...

never saw that , so i guess Vin put the make up just two times in 1996 ?
