Vinnie Vincent's songwriting IS awesome, his lead guitarwork needs to stay melodic, clever and memorable but his demonic, sickening, selfish and self-centered behavior caused Gene and Paul too many headaches, heartaches and hurting! Sir Paul Stanley is very wise to keep his distance from an evil man like Vinnie! 👿
@@SocieteMacabre not really- it was after taxes he was a hired gun, and it was 1982-- what ever royalties he got would be in addition to that. Hired guns don't really get a large base pay especially at the time he wasn't a big name- he became one in Kiss. Where he got screwed was in the royalty payments
@@markusaurelius777 Tell me why Vinnie is not a lonely person, he was hidden from the public for 20 years, he is smiling like a maniac because he is so scared, tell me why he is not a lonely person.
@@teresaslone771 Gene sold his soul and gave up the quality of his craft to keep shoveling out the same shit over and over again. Just cause he has more money and is more famous than us doesnt mean we have to respect him or don't have the right to criticize him.
I feel sorry for the folks that paid a lot of money to see any of these vault shows. I’ve seen Cub Scout shows that had better production. Gene doesn’t care about quality apparently, he just wants the money. Felt bad for Vinnie, he just wanted to spend some time with Gene, and it was pretty obvious that Gene did not. Vinnie was just a means to an end for Gene, a paycheck. I at least hope Vinnie got paid well, but most likely did not.
My friend Chris went to this. He said that he kept requesting songs that could be played on an acoustic guitar. Vinnie would say " I remember that one", and then he wouldn't play anything.
Judezki92 YEP. I noticed that also. He wanted nothing to do with playing together whether it was that day or future. They didn't manage to play one song. This clearly Gene out for money again.
Im glad to see that vinnie is such a humble guy . I used to not like vinnie but he's become such a humble spirited man and I have much respect for the brother . god bless vinnie
I totally agree. I can’t believe how many gullible people out there don’t see through Vinnie’s B.S. He has rocked the ship & tried suing KISS so many times, i’m shocked Gene even did this tbh. There is zero chance of Vinnie & Gene writing music together again. I’m reading some of these comments on here & some people saying you can feel the chemistry yadda,yadda lol 😂 No doubt about it when Gene left the stage after this he had to have been thinking to himself Vinnie is fu€ked in the head. A couple of Vinnie’s comments to Gene were very creepy imo. Vinnie can’t even play guitar anymore, did people not notice how he was stalling big time when Gene would say many times ok so what do you want to play Vinnie?? … & then Vinnie would change the subject & say something totally off the wall to change the subject until Gene had to basically think of something as to why he had to get going lol, Gene is like um … i got to babysit my friends uncle Harry’s gold fish lol, see ya Vinnie, hope to not run into you again ya weirdo lol
This was awkward to watch. Vinnie keeps throwing himself at Gene thinking something more will come of them getting together , and Gene , while polite , keeps his distance till finally leaving him onstage alone.
You're reading TOO much into it which is exactly what Gene desires. The more drama that they create the more relevant that KISS becomes. It's about constantly maintaining their position in R&R. That's why they keep making money when almost every other band from their hayday are gone and forgotten.
Sunny S I met him and “she” said her name was Vanissa. And Vinnie was out. This was in Nashville in 93. I was like ok????? But what’s all this Kiss stuff. So I knew it was him.
THOMAS LIBERO Lol at least 2. I’m seeing binding, rosettes...it might be 3 or 4 grand. Martins seem like they gain at least $500 for every aesthetic feature...
Met Vinnie & Dana Strum at a Vinnie Vincent Invasion record store meet & greet in Detroit. Vinnie & Dana we’re both awesome! Very focused musical talent.
According to Mark Slaughter (during an interview on Eddie Trunk), what killed VVI was one night, Vinnie asked Mark how he felt about Dana, and said he was going to sack him. Mark took sides with Dana, then the record company sided with them over Vinnie and the rest is history.
It's about time to heal!! Good going gene and vinnie it's nice to see you guy's together again.. how much time do you guy"s have left on this earth? So heal each other.
I AM IN AWE !!! THIS IS SO AWESOME SEEING GENE AND VINNY UP ON THE SAME STAGE TOGATHER EVEN BETTER THEN THE GOOD OLD DAYS !! THIS IS A BLESSING BUT TOO BAD THEY NEVER PLAYED A FULL SONG TOGATHER I GUESS THEY WERE JUST HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN AND WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME TOGATHER ANYWAY IT STILL WAS MAGIC !!!!!

Vinnie just comes off as extremely likable to me for whatever reason. He just seems humble and cool. And happy to just be appreciated for the music he's made.
That’s what he wants people to believe when they’re watching him ,but to most accounts almost every one he deals with personally says that he’s bat shit crazy and self defeating.
Wow.... that was awkward, Vinnie seems sincere, Gene could have cared less, Did they even sing? After paying for this? Vinnie seems like he's trying to lock Gene down for a reunion. Paul will not stand for that.
too bad eddie trunk, and the KISS expo beat him to it. Vinnie announced this appearance 3 months ago. Vinnie chose when and how he came back out. Gene has had Ace, Peter, and now Vinnie appear at one of his Vault appearances. Paul is busy doing other things.. im hoping maybe some new music is going to be afoot...gene and ace are touring together in australia right now. separate bands but on the same bill.
I know it will never happen while KISS is still around, but I'm with Vinnie here: they SHOULD write and record an album without question. Vinnnie/Gene OWNED the creatures album from start to finish, and Revenge was bang-on as well. Those songs on creatures SCREAMED...
I've just decided to ignore all the shit I've read about Vinnie Vincent being a big shot and trying to own KISS! This was so awesome and entertaining and Vinnie comes across as a nice bloke (if he could get a word in edgeways Gene!!!) and actually does remind me a lot of Ace Frehley in his personality. Great video!
Have you watched Decibel Geek on youtube? He made 6 specials of Vinnie Vincent where he digs into his life, interviews people who have dealt with him. Let me tell you, almost all of them have some fked up shit to say about him. One of them being that he's a thief, a liar, and manipulator who has very strange behaviours, including paranoid behaviour. One guy who worked at Kiss conventions in the mid 90s dealt with Vinnie. One day Vinnie's like hey do you wanna buy a guitar that I played during the Kiss lick it up tour? The guy being a fan he's like damn that'd be awesome. Vinnie was selling it 2,000 dollars, the guy didn't have all the money so he put a down payment on it. Vinnie then asked him if he could still use the guitar for Kiss conventions still and that he'd give it to him after that's done. Well, that didn't happen, Vinnie took off with the guitar, which was a cheap mass produced model, not the guitar he played on LIP tour. There's a bunch of other weird shit during that time, like performing on stage without plugging in his guitar and not playing solos. Another guy who worked with Vinnie on the guitars from hell project had a lot of shit to say about Vinnie. Claimed that Vinnie stole from him, and was giving him checks that would bounce.
I saw the creatures of the night tour, vinnie ripped his pants. It was great! He was a great soloist. I loved the Egyptian makeup. Wish the new guys had their own characters
My buddy says he plays.So I ask him to swing over and bring his guitar so we can jam. So he does. Then he sits there like that and talks and occasionally plucks a note or chord but never plays anything even as I entice him. Because im lousy and if he plays I want to learn from him. But he nonchalantly doesn't play anything. This is exactly what this reminds me of. I dont think my buddy can play.
I love how when Vinnie was talking about gene trying to get in touch with him and he mentions saying "i love you" to which gene says "I said that?". I feel like this is just gene just using "jokes" to be an asshole. That's honestly kinda mean.
This is more evidence that Paul had issues with Vinnie. One wonders how awesome it would have been if Vinnie had stuck around longer in Kiss because Vinnie can write songs and play without being a fake Ace clone like Tommy. It seems anyone who cramps Pauls alpha male control on the band is shown the door, there is a long history of this. Look what happened to Ace when he had the best solo album. That sealed his fate in the band. Vinnie's biggest problem was his talent when he was with Kiss.
I met this lineup in Metairie Louisiana when I was 7 at a record store the day of their concert. I remember grabbing destroyer and they signed it and asked me to get the new album. I asked them where Ace was, lol.
Poor Vinnie, every time I watch this every few years and every time i feel even worse for Vinnie grasping at straws trying to keep a relationship with Gene.
I remember going in the mid-90's to convention in The Netherlands where Vinnie would be appearing. I went out of curiousity with a friend, who was a KISS-fan. It was the most bizarre thing I've seen. The crowd were these though-guy KISS-fans, and suddenly Vinnie appears on stage. I immediately noticed that there was something "different "about thim. And I wasn't the only one. There was also a tribute-band there, with whom he played a few songs with. But no solos, I don;t think his guitar was even plugged in. Very strange behaviour.
That's because Vinnie's main attribute was his speed picking and sweeps. He lacked general melodic discipline. He's in his 60s and has been out of it long enough that his speed chops are gone. That was confirmed in the leaked footage of his recent performance. That solo he played was mediocre at best.
Two talented people that should have written together for a decade or more.. When the Gene, Paul, Eric & Vinnie lineup faltered after 2 years the fans were denied a killer second run of KISS..It would have been much bigger right through the 80's had Vinnie stayed... A shame...

AND HERE IS A HINT IT DOESNT MEAN ONE IS AN IDIOT EITHER !!! GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU IMBECILE !!!!
The whole time I'm like "Shut up and play something instead of tinkering on the strings". Vinnie was trying to be sincere... All Gene could say was "Calm down". I dunno... I feel like Vinnie was ready to make it a special moment and Gene wasn't.
yes, completely. But the important thing..it got them talking. talking about writing songs. talking about writing songs, very often leads to actually writing songs. I hope this aspect of their history repeats itself. the world is overdue a GREAT KISS album such as that is.
Gene is a forgiving guy who let's bygones be bygones and holds no grudges. Say what you will of him but those are qualities of a classy, big hearted man. Vinnie was not perfect but who is and its nice to see them together grown up.
Gene definitely had an angle. His "jokes" to vinnie were honestly pretty mean. "I don't miss you, haha" "I'd never say I love you, haha". Granted, Vinnie was gushing to the point that it may have made him uncomfortable, but still.
