Vinnie Vincent Birthday Bashes Fans For Private Party

  • Yes, music lovers... yet another Vinnie Vincent update. I never thought I'd make one video about Vinnie when starting this channel let along a few, but hey... if you knew a train wreck was about to happen, wouldn't you talk about it too?
    For those keeping score at home, Vinnie has promised 3 concerts so far and cancelled every single one of them. Diehard fans who have been waiting on the second coming of the Ankh warrior from KISS have been getting screwed by Vinnie at every turn.
    Vinnie's cancellations have also meant fans having to cancel airline flights, hotel reservations and even fighting to get their $$ back on tickets. That's right, there have been reports of fans being unable to even get their money back on tickets to a show that never happened. One fan reached out to me after having no luck requesting a refund from the promoter. I suggested directly contacting his credit card company and report the fraudulent charge. Fortunately that route paid off and I'd recommend anyone else in the same unfortunate situation do the same.
    Now that Vinnie has burned most all his professional bridges, he's left with an ultra-diehard fanbase and an upcoming birthday. Instead of issuing any kind of public statement, Vinnie sent a message to his fans in a couple of private Facebook groups indicating he was looking to have a birthday bash on August 10 in Nashville.
    The contents of the message reveal just how mentally disturbed Vinnie truly is, ending his letter by telling fans "put your money where your big mouth is. "
    You can read his entire message and more here:
    sleazeroxx.com/vinnie-vincent...
    And another that just popped up recently: sleazeroxx.com/rock-n-pod-exp...
    For a guy who was once known as a talented songwriter/shredder, he has clearly shown that those days are well behind him. Any guitarist, especially one known for his guitar-shredding, would have already demonstrated these skills now over a year into his return to the public eye.
    I sincerely hope Vinnie gets the help he needs and, as he promises, stops doing interviews and making promises he simply can't keep.
    He's not playing because he hasn't played and he won't play. Only the fans are getting played and that's quite said.
    What do you think? Would you go see Vinnie Vincent or give him a dime of your money?

    You said it . " Who would want to ride the coattails of Vinnie Vincent ? " That letter he wrote is definitely the product of a sick mind .. like he's been huffing freon for years . Had me in stitches . Gene said " Vinnie Vincent is about the most self destructive person I've ever known ."

      You have a very good and accurate memory. That is 100% correct. When a former bandmate makes a comment like this you know it is true. No one from the "KISS" camp has anything to loose or gain stating anything but the truth.

    I'd say the best comment given about Vinnie Vincent (And that was done without the guy actually speaking) was when Mark Slaughter performed at another Kiss convention, he appeared on stage, proceeded to shred like there's no tomorrow and did a KILLER show.
    So why is this a comment on Vinnie Vincent?
    - First of all Mark was the lead singer of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion
    - Second, he played a Jackson Vinnie Vincent "Double V" guitar.
    Mark's statement was "Look Vinnie, not only do I give the people every cent of their money's worth by actually showing up to play this gig but I can shred on a much higher level than you ever could and I'm doing so playing YOUR guitar!"

    You’re thoroughly thought-out analysis was a breath of fresh air. I’ve never seen your channel before. But I really enjoyed this video. The Vinnie Vincent saga is one of the greatest stories in the music business. It is the gift that keeps on giving. I couldn’t say it better than you did because you said pretty much everything. But it is amazing that he is still trying to extract the last drops of cash from his pathetic few fans left. And make no bones about it this is all about CASH.

      That actually seems more realistic at this point. There are lots of has-beens who need money and play mediocre gigs, but they do actually play because they really do need the money. I am sure Vinnie could get a spot on some "hair metal nostalgia" bill at a state fair if he really needed to. But I get the impression he really doesn't need the money. Even though he charges a lot fir everything, there cannot really be that many units moved. He just seems to like making trouble for the hell of it.

    You're opinions are level headed. I totally love Kiss but I'm not dillusional about any of the guys. Please find the time to do more Kiss content as I can tell you're the same and you're great at expressing it. This one is laugh out loud hilarious. Truth is stranger than fiction, man.

You also left out how they are holding this thing at the same date and location as the Rock N Pod Expo.....the same expo Vinnie fucked over and lied about last year. Then Vinnie's lawyer contacted the Rock N Pod organizers and asked if they could tie the birthday thing in with their expo... when they said "hell no", Vinnie released ANOTHER statement saying that THEY asked HIM to co-promote their events! He literally just flat out lied. Unbelievable

    Thanks so much for the new info. I can understand those who bought tickets & hotel reservations & all. Aug 10th should be interesting to say the least. Yep, there must be issues. I Can't understand the misplaced blame that Vinnie has. There's never any explanation for all these cancellations. There is no way I'm buying any ticket. I've always believed in " seeing is believing " . Talk & plans are all they are until they are actually carried out. I find it sad for the former fans . Losing your hard earned money to broken promises & not getting your money back is a real pain. 3 times a charm, what do you do ? I don't blame fans for not being VV fans anymore.

      Gene is the fucking man, I knew that after I heard his solo album. He has the keys to power in this life (a man that knows what he is saying) and in my opinion has done some of the heaviest songs that can make it on some of my thrash and heavier metal playlists with bands like: Testament, Pantera, Annihilator, and a Gene Kiss song can play right in between without any kind of weird break. Not for the innocent and dance all over your face are just a few examples of some my personal favorites from Gene.

      Hunty Wabbit I fully agree with you. Gene has done some amazingly heavy songs. God of Thunder is the main reason I sing as I do. Tjose vocals were Detah Metal before the term was even invented. Gene has been a huge influence on heavy music's progression in my opinion, though many will disagree simply coz its KISS and they dont like KISS.

      He could upload free you tube videos of the box set material to make up for that atrocity. That would be the stand up thing to do, since so many people purportedly never received it. You know, COPYWRITE the stuff, for crying out loud and watermark the video, but offer it free of charge.

Lately, his fan events have involved steep admission prices and, surprisingly, he has proven that he still can play and even performed solo at a recent event for Kiss fans. He's been promising a live DVD and more but I don't believe any of it has been released, which is not surprising.

    Just recently stumbled upon the sad state of mind of the one and only Vinnie Vincent. Although I'd heard his name mentioned years ago, I never knew much about him. After seeing several videos about Vinnie I was left wondering, "Is it me or does anybody else think this guy really isn't that talented?" After watching your video I realized I wasn't the only one. He obviously has issues and instead of riding off into obscurity, he seriously believes he maintains some piece of relevance. His time has come and gone... Sad that most people, except for Vinnie and the enablers who continue to prop him up, know this. Hopefully someone sits him down and has a long "honest" talk with him.
    Thanks for your informative summary of what I was already thinking... "Vinnie's a NUT!!!"

      @@RushTrader I appreciate your response to my comment. I watched another clip to see if the aforementioned "Birthday Bash" ever materialized. Their was a gentleman being interviewed who said he was present. It ended up being at a studio, and according to him, only 30+ people were allowed to attend. They were only informed of the location, via text, 30 minutes before the scheduled event took place. Obviously he was one of the VV faithful. He stated as they walked in they could hear music playing, commenting some thought it was a CD. Anyhow, it turned out to be Vinnie in the studio, full complement of effects pedals and concert lighting. The guy was in awe! Claims that Vinnie was actually the true master shredder of yesteryear. His $300 was nothing for the incredible performance and time spent with Vinnie. I guess the lesson I take away is, "Never judge a book by it's sad cover." Especially in a place where it's cover is made to sound like a million bucks! Thanks again for your insight and info. Have a great day... ✌🏼🎸🎶
