Ep. 21: Vinnie Vincent "Creatures of the Night" KISS era Interview

[@leokimvideo]

Lets never forget Eric Carr's excellent work during this difficult Kiss period.

[@ForkFace2112]

I agree. Eric's drumming style was a huge driving force in the more modern and heavy sound Kiss was attempting to adopt.

[@Betrayerslayer]

Loved him. I remember the day he died.

Just stumbled across your channel yesterday. Listened to the Eric Carr 70th bday episode and to this today. Fantastic interview with Vinnie. I really enjoyed it! Nice to hear some of this stuff from his perspective. ( I got to see Vinnie in Dayton, Oh on the LIU tour) Great work! Thanks for this cool bit of KISStory, and the keeping Eric's memory alive!

I absolutely love this interview. Vinnie if you read this, thank you for reaching back out.

[@jossperry997]

I love Vinnie Vincent... For all his faults, he was still short changed by Kiss. There ought to have been a contract that would be commensurate to what he brought the band. A wonderfully talented man who also fell prey to a lot of bad decisions. But I still love him. My only tattoo was in souvenir of him. Love you Vinnie!

[@coastalpaladin5024]

Mike, I hope my comment did not come across rude. I do like some of the 1980’s (Bruce) Kiss stuff. I enjoy the way you conduct your interviews. I think you are very respectful, and you allow the artist to talk. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@therockexperiencewithmikeb8365]

Not at all!!!! Quite the opposite actually. I’ve always wondered if someone who is not a fan of a specific band that I interviewed watch the episode anyway to learn more about an artist. When I saw your comment I thought, hmmm.....I could learn something more about my audience here.

[@ernieneverscardinals461]

Vinnie you were Kiss!! You were my hero !!

[@MICHAEL-sr5ni]

Hi Mike & Vinnie! Fascinating interview and Vinnie comes across more as the rock star that he is and you can tell that he is getting his confidence back, which is great. So many trolls owe him an apology. I was fortunate to have seen Vinnie on both the Creatures & Lick it Up tours and he was great. For Creatures I was 18 & took a bus up to Glenns Falls, NY in a blizzard that dumped like a foot of snow on the road. Unbeknownst to me, my girlfriend & I stayed in a hotel that Night Ranger was staying in & I rode the elevator with them, but didn't recognize them, lol. Then, KISS was delayed bc of the blizzard and word was that their bus was either lost or snowbound due to the blizzard. While waiting on line in the freezing cold to get in the arena, we were all talking as KISS fans do and someone said that they were going to play without Ace & that he had quit. We were all in shock & felt let down. I hadn't heard of Vinnie before & didn't know what to expect. It was well before the internet. He was amazing on stage & in that show! You can imagine the jitters he must have had & as he describes in this interview, he got over it, & the great thing was that he was not just playing Ace note for note & exhibited his own personality & style. I will never forget it. It helps that Mike is also a fan and that helps trigger Vinnie to discuss some interesting, never heard before, details. I can't wait to hear more insight from Vinnie re Lick it Up. Mike in Tampa

[@rivertribe4640]

Right on! Absolutely love this interview Mike! Vinnie you Rock! Can’t wait for the Valentine party!

Creatures of the night was one of my favorite kiss albums ever even have a creatures of the night jacket that says kiss all over it with pictures of Vinny, Vincent and kiss, and I am going to see kiss three times this year three different cities on the end of the road tour. The last three shows other than the two shows at Madison Square Garden that I will not be attending. Oh my God I cannot believe it. I am so super stoked. I’m gonna be super stoked until November like you’ve never even imagine that made my day hearing those words that I was able to go to three shows this year being that I’m part of the kiss army forever.

I'm not a diehard Vinnie fan. But there are four definitive albums in their catalog: Destroyer, Creatures, Lick it Up and Revenge. Cusano proved instrumental on 3/4 of them. Pretty hard to argue with that whether one likes him or not.

[@crazywisdom2]

This may be... the best VV interview I have heard yet ! There is always two sides to a story .... But I think Vinnie is honest and sincere here. I still believe that he was, and is an incredible talent. And to a great degree I believe he was screwed by P & G. It was just how they did business back in the day ? I think that his talent is huge. And his wealth of music is deep. Would love to see him keep writing for other artists. And it would even be cool to see him have his own radio show or podcast. I think that he needs people around him that can keep him in the positive and that he can trust. All the best Vinnie. Thanks Mike.

[@noelwinslow6899]

Vinnie is a very complex story, thats based on what iv learned from what information he and others have had to say. Im sure the untold information is jaw dropping. One thing im sure of, he is crazy, crazy like a fox. Different is a polite way to put his public persona . However ,, hearing the demos he sang on and wrote reveal the depth of his musical talent. He is a incredibly good singer, why he never did his on vocals as a solo artist is baffling. He is a trip. When he resurfaced, his appearance was disturbing in a way i cant explain nor understand, why would he present himself in that light....?

It's nice that he was so forthcoming in this interview. To me, - and this isn't always a bad thing, - he seems scatterbrained. It's funny that he joined Kiss just as a "gig," and not only didn't know most of the material beforehand, but admits he didn't like the songs once he had to learn them. Very strange. I guess that's what makes that whole era of Kiss really unique.

[@GTPERTH]

Mike thankyou for sharing your experience with Vinnie. You are lucky to have the chance to ask Vinnie questions. For me this very period of kiss is the greatest but yet so mysterious. Please, please, please can you get Vinnie Vincent to talk about the day when he was told that kiss were taking off the makeup? Timeline is everything. When did he find out? Did he know that Brazil would be the last show and was that why Paul wore that blue kiss shirt on stage. Its such an important moment in kiss. Also can you Please ask Vinnie to talk about the first show WITHOUT makeup. How was Gene feeling before that first show. For me as a kiss fan these are the questions that i would love to get answered when you get to talk to Vinnie again.

[@therockexperiencewithmikeb8365]

I hope to cover these topics on my “Lick It Up” era interview with him!!

[@thebluesrockers]

Vinnie Vincent wrote or co-wrote 3 songs on "Creatures Of The The Night" 8 songs on "Lick It Up" 3 songs on "Revenge" "Creatures Of The Night" & "Revenge" both went "Gold" "Lick It Up" Vinnie was responsible for 80% of went "Platinum" My Favorite Kiss tunes outside of the Ace Frehley era are Vinnie Vincent's tunes. "I Love It Loud" "Not For The Innocent" "Young & Wasted" "Unholy" I'm not a fan of "Kiss" non makeup era that doesn't involve "Vinnie Vincent" From "Asylum" to "Revenge" I'm not a "Kiss" fan. With the exception of "Unholy" & (Domino" A song that wasn't written by Vincent" But Vinnie was a powerhouse, writer that has been very underappreciated by "Gene" & "Paul" In fact they have never paid Vinnie properly for his work, The Merchandising of the album, or the actual, record sales. But they've had much better lawyers and have beat Vinny in court every single time. One would think that "Gene Simmons" having a Net worth of 450m or "Paul Stanley" having a net worth of 250m Wouldn't be so greedy and would pay Vinny better for his "Platinum" album "Lick It Up" before Vinnie Vincent got involved with "Kiss" Kiss was having trouble maintaining fans. A lot of true Kiss fans hated "Dynasty" in fact "Kiss" had to cancel their "Dynasty" tour early because they were having trouble selling tickets. "Music From The Elder" & Unmasked" had really poor record sales. The song "I Love It Loud" sported a video that helped reel some fans back, and created new ones. "Creatures Of The Night" went "Gold" "Lick It Up" was 80% Vinnie Vincent songs. Not to mention his guitar riffs. That album went Platinum. Again "Kiss" chose a "Vinnie Vincent" song to make the video for "Unholy" and that helped push the album to be certified "Gold" Had it not been for the success of "Revenge" going "Gold" Kiss probably wouldn't have received an invite to do the "Unplugged" show for MTV. And that's what sparked the huge multimillion dollar "Reunion" tour. So, thank you Vinnie. I know without a doubt that your contributions helped put the original band back together.

When will we see this Lick It Up interview?

[@SahiraSound]

I got to see Vinny with kiss twice, I got to see them on COTN tour and the LIU tour. I really don't care what Gene and Paul said about Vinny turning the guitar solo spotlight into an extended showboat for himself. When Vinnie was throwing down, she could make that flying v scream bloody murder. There was nothing like it. Not only that, but his songwriting chops were absolutely top-notch. The tragedy is, much like John Sykes, Vinnie also had a habit of shooting himself in the foot And he ended up alienating the people he needed most to keep his career going. It had nothing to do with his talent, that was undisputable and it was the same way with John Sykes. But in the end, neither one of them were able to produce anything consistently beyond the bands that gave them their big breaks. I mean for sure Vinnie did extraordinarily well with his first solo album, 4x Platinum, and John Sykes Blue Murder was phenomenal But both of their follow-ups were sorely lacking and nothing they ever did afterward measured up and that was a tragedy.

[@oskarsalvador7414]

[@garyhill2740]

I really like the way the interviewer asks occasional questions to guide the process along, and then lets the artist talk. I have sat through listening to so many interviews where every time the artist starts to tell an interesting story, the interviewer cuts them off to ask some stupid canned, stock question. I'd rather hear the artists own impressions and recollections, and hear about things I haven't heard before. I enjoy Vinnie's story in his own words. On caveat: No, they don't "have Ace" (today). They have a guy that does an impression of Ace. There's only one Ace. There's only one Vinnie as well. They should have "gone with that" (back in '82/'83). Ace is better off on his own. So is Vinnie. Props to Kiss for finding Ace, and Vinnie, and introducing them to the world. Both of them grew past needing Kiss to make great music. I want to see them both continue to make new music under their own moniker. Looking forward to upcoming new releases from both of them in 2024.
