Gene is funny . He loves vinnie. He says “vinnie is really good, he knows his stuff.” He definitely respects Vinnies guitar playing.

[@princescottygustafski5331]

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! 👿

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

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.

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.

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.

[@ericchandler2]

Why’s my Aunt Getrude playing with Gene Simmons? I had no idea she knew how to play 3 chords..crazy.

[@diego67.5]

It's so nice to see them together

[@allenlocke1935]

what a waste ...on every level...I feel sorry for the audience, they were cheated. They could of worked a little something up. What a shame.

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Yeah his appearance costs $50,000

[@dman3316]

They didn't even have the guitars tuned up beforehand 🤦

[@iChezaday]

Wow ... just wow! I'm glad Vinnie is making the rounds! Amazing seeing him with Gene!

[@omniken66]

Hard to watch....its as though Gene is Vinnie's guitar instructor. Bad vibes when Gene is playing guitar better than Vinnie is... Before he decided to return he should've definitely put in massive amounts of guitar rehab!

[@christhetramp]

The big problem with this was that every time gene prompts Vinnie with a song Vinnie can’t remember how to play it, so gene just knows it’s a train wreck and wants to get off stage, especially when Vinnie keeps asking to play together again, how could he expect that to happen when he can’t even come prepared to play some of the only songs they wrote together 30 years ago?!

[@sudsysutherland359]

Ya I totally agree, Vinnie like you said can’t even take the time to learn the songs again & it's almost like he just thinks whom ever he’s playing with will carry his load, I’m embarrassed for him it’s that bad.

[@saulmartinez2114]

Yeah, sad

[@amusicalheart7]

So 2 professional musicians hold guitars for a 22 min video and never play 1 song.

[@AkronAsylum]

"I don't get high, so I remember."😛

[@naturalbornscorpio929]

But its been documented that Vinnie did lots of blow

[@austinisme2477]

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.

[@gwynnthefam2864]

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 !!!!!

[@jealousyxanderblood7894]

So what im getting was KISS was a battle of egos between paul and gene and everyone else that was in the band was pretty much collateral

[@TruthSurge]

jesus... first 3 min ..... Vinnie grinning and Gene acting like a control freak who thinks every line he utters is funny. Gene only got together with Vinnie because.... the $ was good?

[@justinandsheba]

Too bad you weren't there to show them both up on guitar and vocals!!

[@dennydarkko]

Duh

[@michaelgraham9774]

@Boondoggle You're not wrong but Truthsurge is a very talented singer and guitarist who could've held that crowd's attention by himself.

[@syndicatedsatellite7288]

Looks like they had nothing planned... That's not Vinnie's fault only Gene's...

[@Iheartdgd]

At the right angle, Gene looks just like Darth Vader

[@rafaelbarerez7066]

nice to see them together and they share a lot of good memories

[@mr.z6776]

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.

[@freepressright]

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.

[@PNWdude777]

I hope Vinnie does some dates on the End of The Road Tour cause he is AMAZING!

[@DominoDD]

why did they even give Vinnie a guitar?

[@Kwanglebeh]

It goes with his nails.

[@nigel900]

To rest his breasts on....

Oh boy in 2017 Vinnie to Gene I still love you. XOXO 😘😘😘😘 Gene its 2021 let it happen there bigg papi huba huba. 🌹💐

[@patrickbastiaensens9903]

Gene was leaving the stage, without even greeting Vinnie, what a shame.....

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

Gene said one time "Vinnie is persona non-grata forever". Either he has a soft heart, or a soft spot for money.

[@awcindy]

edwads74 As Paul Stanley said in his book he likes attention and isn’t as interested as he should be as to whether or not it’s good attention.

[@gwynnthefam2864]

GENE DOE'S HAVE A SOFT GOOD HEART HE IS ABLE TO FORGIVE AND TRY TO FORGET GENE WAS GENUINE ABOUT MEETING WITH VINNY HE IS A HUMAN BEING WITH COMPASSION .

[@Kyle7K]

Everyone is bashing Gene for not letting VInnie talk or play. I think the problem is, Vinnie can't play anymore. Knows some little riffs and whatnot, but nothing real. I don't think they could have played together, even if Gene shut up for a minute :p Also, Gene wanted a fist bump, not to hold hands!

[@xinn8133]

Lol ...Ikr, Vivian was totally flirting with him 😆😆😆

[@metalgamerk9549]

Omg! So embarrasing!! "Are you tuned in G?, plink plonk"

[@lindaymohegan3529]

No matter what people say, Vinnie seems to be such a nice, caring sweet person. Imaging being at the top and then going recluse for like 30 years. How lonley would one feel, and long for those better days. We probably all have them, nostalgia, even if we weren't rock stars like he was. Sad really. I need to stop living in the past, while my future passes me by. (boo hoo)

[@CameronMatlock-zm9hp]

Exactly

[@CaliforniaSasquatch]

Does Gene give refunds when he screws around and avoids playing KISS songs at these events?

[@ianharvey992]

Good luck with the comeback Vinnie!

[@Semo1969]

It’s nice that Vinny invited gene to sit in with him. Such a nice guy. The greatest guitarist to live. I think gene even paid to sit in with Vinny

[@desmondcastro3679]

Funny stuff. Vinnie:"Ya miss me?" Gene:" No !"

[@grumpygrant4537]

watching these two reminds me of how these guys r true mugicians love it!!!!

[@samrobertson9051]

Gene is moving his 'Kiss Army' to Guyana. Clearing out a jungle section for what will be known as...'Genestown'. 'people play games friend, they lie, they lie...'

[@thefonzkiss]

15:45 the other Beatles song he’s talking about is Mother Nature’s Son and it’s a McCartney song not a Lennon song.

[@graeme1744]

Vinnie was trying his best and Gene missed a chance to be normal and tell fantastic stories of the past. He's fantastic on stage a fool off stage.

[@gridglory1]

Now exactly was he trying his best? By laughing at Gene’s jokes & holding a guitar?

[@GroovyStrawberry]

What’s with all the negative comments? Just be glad these two are friends again and are having a good time for God’s sake! You all are too serious

[@hughbetcha436]

It was nice to see the two old Yentas getting along so well!

[@lovegun2112]

Gene seems to me he wants to get this over..

[@DonVitosLazyEye]

Gene always seems like such a nice and genuine guy even though he loves money and would do anything for money. Despite that, his interactions with fans, this and doing stuff with Ace, he always sounds and acts so grateful for all he has. His mom did a good job on raising him.

[@zengreen9527]

This has got to be the most uncomfortable thing that I’ve ever watched in my life
