Revealing EX KISS GUITARIST Vinnie Vincent's Fate

[@Vicshade]

Vinnie sabotages himself. It’s sad that someone so talented is so self destructive. He needs a psychiatrist or something.

[@kikiki4592]

He is as sad as Carmine, who also sabotages every project he is involved with somehow.

[@roadhog-so8en]

@@kikiki4592 Ummm..........explain where and when Carmine ever failed.He is an icon.

[@crazywisdom2]

Vinnie IS and Was a Very Talented musician, guitarist and songwriter. So much talent. He just can't get out of his own way !

[@davidpaul6656]

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤪

[@dino9395]

Vinnie WAS a talented musician...But those days are long gone!

[@MJ98774]

Paul Stanley said the band was eating soup after a gig that came out of a big pot. Vinnie didn't finish his soup, so he poured the remains into the community soup bowl. Paul was like WTF? Vinnie ruined their meal. I had to laugh because that sounds like an Ace move. No matter who they get on guitar the guy always gets under Pauls skin. Funny sh-t

[@michaelpolo6117]

Leave Carmine Appice alone. I saw him open up for The Doors, w Vanilla Fudge w Ian Astbury sang for Jim Morrison. Before Ray Manzerick passed. He’s an amazing drummer. Ian Astbury was possessed by Jim that night amazing!

[@leokimvideo]

Vinnie was too good for Kiss, he was taking the spotlight away from Paul & Gene. That's always going to end badly.

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Awesome Show!!!

[@artistsonrecord]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@hangingon]

How does Vinny survive & keep a roof over his head?

[@mitchweissman5045]

Spoke to Vinnie last year.

[@artistsonrecord]

You did?

[@mitchweissman5045]

Yeah, some emails and a call to catch up.

[@j.reveille6815]

@@mitchweissman5045 tell V to put a live band together already and play some shows.

[@triggeredpurplepill]

Gene & Paul cannot do anything with KISS as they don't own any of it. What is even funnier is they sold their entire Catalogue for 300 million and QUEEN just received 2 BILLION for their Catalogue

[@raulhernandez6197]

CARMINE APPICE Forever!!!

[@Eternyl_bliss-nj9se]

Not sure why Vinnie keeps blowing off making a new album.... If he does it old school Invasion era with his shredding there will be a lot of fans interested. Vinnie what are you waiting on?!

[@dino9395]

He can't play anymore...Isn't it pretty obvious?

[@KenGaskins-nm3gx]

I think his wife was actually murdered if that's the same wife. I could be wrong. Irregardless, a great talent who appears to have the wrong attitude.

[@mr.blackwell5423]

Yeah, sadly, Annemarie Cusano (born 1955) was murdered in early January, 1998. Just four days shy of her 43rd birthday. Her murderer was a 37 year old man by the name of Gregory McArthur. A "sexual predator", McArthur was released from jail in late September 1997, after serving six years for sexual assault. McArthur has A LONG HISTORY of sexual assaults! Three months later he killed Annemarie. Her decomposed remains were found far away from the crime-scene, over 2 1/2 years later, w/ the help from McArthur. The Cusano's twin daughters were just 15 years old at the time. Go figure!!! SAD!🙄 Vinnie's second wife, Diane (born 1966), whom he married in 1996, was a lovely & gorgeous woman who unfortunately had a pretty severe drinking problem. Diane eventually succumbed to her alcohol problems, early 2014, at the tender age of 47.

[@mr.blackwell5423]

Also, IMO, Vinnie should've signed THAT f*****g contract with KISS in late 1982 & stayed loyal with Gene & Paul. He would be SO MUCH better off mentally, artistically & financially these days if he had just signed it. He wasted his BIG CHANCE! 🤨😤

[@KenGaskins-nm3gx]

@@mr.blackwell5423 Yup.

[@Hammerhead547]

Vinnie's soloing can best be described as "steve vai if he took all the coke in the world and then recorded the result". He had the chops to be on the level of eddie van halen, joe satriani, steve vai and yngwie malmsteen but his complete lack of self control and unwillingness to self edit ruined that chance The solo on boyz are gonna rock is basically him trying too jam a 5 minute live solo spot into about 80 seconds. It's an almost unlistenable mishmash of noise that reminds me of the time my college roommate broke his guitar in half after taking a header down a filght of stairs while playing the second solo from slayer's angel of death.

[@BadWolf762]

It's Vivian Vincent.

[@clutch2827]

At first, I thought Vinnie was on oxygen.

[@blitzblisser5677]

His wife was murdered

[@Music-qt3ok]

Vinnie's last chance was Creatures Fest.

[@TheGamecock366]

Gene said that Vinnie was the most self-destructive person he ever met.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

I don’t know why anyone would want to see him play live. He wrote or co-wrote some good songs over 40 years ago, and when he did play guitar it just high speed, pointless noodling. No heart, no soul, no inspiration.

[@ricdale7813]

Vinnie Vincent was a nice break for KISS but he apparently was a complete classless douche behind the scene's. I dug some of his work but then found some just forced mindless un musical speed shred. Odd guy for sure. Screwed himself from song writing royalties and pulled some pretty shady deals as a Solo artist. Reappears after 30 years but is completely transformed into a shell of what he once was.

[@samzach2057]

Vinnie Vincent hasn’t done squat in 40 years!!!

[@grassyknollblues]

Vinnie is finished. He has screwed some many over, no one will work for or with him.

[@kikiki4592]

Vinnie and Carmine, they are so alike no wonder they dont like each other. They should get Juan Cruciar of Ratt and former a super group called I AM THE TALENT.

[@anthonymarocco955]

I Have Been Friends With Vinnie For The Last 4 Years-Spoke To Him Weeks Ago

[@mightyminx6653]

And.......... Thats all youre gonna say?

[@konowd]

No way no how

[@roadhog-so8en]

Vinnie does not have two nickels to rub together to sue anybody.$350+an hour lawyers.........yeah right.Release it Carmine.

[@garyhill2740]

Definitely enjoy Vinnie's playing most when he plays straight ahead rock and/or metal.. The Treasure record was great, his Kiss work, the Warrior tapes. All good. Invasion? Some good there, some really BAD. I'd rather hear him play WELL and to the song, than hear him play FAST.

[@mikeintampa250]

I think Carmine is just bitter because Vinnie replaced him with a drum machine. This is the second time he has blatantly spread misinformation about Vinnie's first wife (no respect) and he is also blatantly spreading misinformation about the cost of attending Vinnie's events. I don't get it, he was an amazing drummer with an amazing career he should just let the bitterness against Vinnie go and move on.

[@kevinroulette]

All Carmine does is talk about Vinnie . Plus it’s not 5000 bucks to see Vinnie. Yes it expensive 350 for weekend . Think it’s more now but one event was 350. You got autographs photos food and Vinnie played .

[@JWD1992]

I want to see Carmine take on Vinnie in the octagon. The only rule is Vinnie needs to wear pantsuit.

[@johnhagan582]

Gene is not in the best of health these days so I think he should stick with the avatar or actually hologram concept and keep the music alive that way and just kick back spend some time with family grandkids whatever .doesn't need the money he and his kids grandkids can live well .listen you can't take that money with you when your time is up in this world so go do something fun and less stressful .I get Kiss has been his whole life forever but think of the time you missed with them growing up while touring the world .we will always love kiss so have no worries retire and enjoy your time left .but guessing Gene doesn't want to do anything but continue .no disrespect intended but when you have to play live with pre-recorded backing tracks and lipsync the vocals it's time to give it up (touring that is) it's not fair to the fans that pay hundreds of dollars to go see you in these stadium festivals that use to cost just $10-$15 dollars backing the 70s and 80s but it was worth it cause it was real live Rock and Roll not standing on stage pretending to play .

[@insin5905]

I met Carmine at the NAMM show more than 20 years ago. He was a total asshole. He treated the fans as if he was holier than thou. Sorry, Bonham and Bozzio were always better. It’s funny how he’s calling out others for the same behavior that he has exhibited.

[@prs149]

I disagree Vinnie wasn’t better in KISS

[@artistsonrecord]

I can respect that

[@BadWolf762]

Vivian sounds like Yngwie Malmsteen on crack.

[@JeffAdams-lk9qm]

Because Paul and Gene doesn't want no transgender in there band

[@neil1390]

I think she's retired from the music business

[@madcrabber1113]

I agree with Carmine.

[@jimbo0411]

Vinnie had a hard time just playing in key more in VV Invasion. Might think he was trying to play some passing tones, modal interchange scale, but it was out of key.

[@prs149]

Not out of Key

[@Otterom]

Who cares

[@artistsonrecord]

Thank You for your comment, it shows you care! Who loves ya baby? We do!

[@user-ij3kv2lc5z]

Vinnie needs some help. He/she is not well.

[@erlinglarsen]

Its not called Vinnie anymore its trans name is Momma V lol.

[@BruceLeeKingoftheSewers]

Vivian Vincent

[@prs149]

No need for name-calling you A**Holes

[@RavnerRavner]

Carmine, if you're so god-damned successful, just live a good life. Quit talkin shit about Vinnie Vincent. I hope you sell a lot of records but quit talking so much shit.
