So I posed a question on Facebook on Vinnie Facebook page about him attending and events in Australia. Got this response.... Anyone know what this could be ?

Wow, wow, I never thought that he might come to Australia, but super awesome and cool if he does.
Hopefully it's just a matter of time and he'll be here for something.
Well done on asking the question.

A few Aussies have posted on VV page. So wondering if anyone has any inside info. If this does happen it will be epic

Just about everyone wants to visit Australia, so it would be great if there was an opportunity here for Vinnie to do so.
I do wonder what it would take. Would he come for a series of guitar clinics like Bruce has done in the past? Maybe some live shows too?

He is booked in for alot of horror Con type expos in US rather than kiss related stuff. A guitar clinic would be awesome but not sure he would jump into that just yet. Would be interested to see him rip out the pink Jackson.

Australia is great, for sure I'm on board with that, ha ha, but there is a big bad world out there.
I'm sure Vinnie would go down a treat in Europe!!
The world is Vinnie's mollusc of choice.

Not the nuclear meltdown sound.
Not when an American is giving a demonstration and the room is quiet, and it starts blaring loudly.

Yes, you get a very "concerned" artist, looking for an exit point.

Randy (Vinnie's manager) worked with PC so it isn't out of the realms of possibility.

This Konvention will be in January sometime.
I can't find a pic of Vinnie there though.
They are spruking a special guest, but there is no pink so I'm not sure it's Vinnie.

I'm not holding my breath for this anymore.
No idea now when and if Vinnie would come to Australia, as awesome and handy as that would be.

And I must ask this...
It is said Vinnie does not fly. Does that mean at all or he will only if he has no other choice?
And with going to Australia...is there any way there other than going by plane? Or are there other options? My geography isn't so good!

I can't imagine flying to Australia. That is probably around a 20 hour flight. I can't imagine how boring a flight that long must be.
Re: Straight from the VV for Oz fans

It's about 13hrs to LAX from Sydney, then you go from there.
I din't think there are any single flights that are 20hrs except a new one I heard that is from England to Perth that they are trying out.
Vinnie doesn't like flying, but he said a few times he was coming, and he's been around the world before, with KISS and with some 90's expos.

Add another 3-4 hours for Vinnie to get to LAX. There is also a direct from Sydney to Dallas. Vinnie should be well-received in Oz.
