- #DianaLynnBandCandy #VinnieVincent #Kiss #VinnieVincentInvasion Pretty much a priceless moment in time to be able to sit down unrehearsed unplanned and talk to one of my favorite rockstars . Thank you Vinnie Vincent it was such a pleasure to learn so much about you . And that you loved the Sopranos and want to come and see me dance to your music #KISS #KISSARMY #DianaLynn #LoveKills
Vinnie was always the cool guy in kiss. Never talked shit about anyone. Wish he would play shows again
I don't care what anyone says, Vinnie saved KISS and I will always support him,I am going to support this channel as well.
I didn’t know it when I was a kid. I just thought that Vinny was super cool looking! But you’re right.
he was a Nobody & kiss gave him an oppurtunity but he couldnt handle it. KISS had a lagacy by that time & just needed a lead guitarist, they would have survived without Vinnie. Bruce could have filled the spot or any number of Guitarists. Vinnie had some good songs to bring to the table. But KISS were a mammoth band that already had a legacy. Sure it would be different without Vinnie, but he didnt save them.
@@97warlock Vinnie wrote 6 of the 9 songs on Lick It Up. Including the title hit Lick It Up. That sounds like saving them to me. Not saying he deserves 100% of the credit, but he sure as hell helped resurrect them!!
That is BS, KISS was kiss, had Paul and Gene and a well marketing structure and huge fan base, he contribute to kiss as any good guitarist should… but he did not save kiss .. that is such a cool statement from vinnie fanboys
I actually want to see him in person now, he’s too sweet to pass up an opportunity to meet him, he deserves a good hug from me, love you Vinnie ❤️
You can tell Vinnie has a very kind heart
Unless your one of the woman he beat up. Or past band members he fucked over.
And a big vagina
Bahahahaha ^^^
I doubt he could beat up anyone
Yes. He couldn't hurt a fly. He's too gentle. He's not the violent type at all.
Vinnie saved KISS. Never forget this.
@WAYNE FG Dynasty is one of the best selling KISS albums, Creatures and Lick it Up were great records but werent selling great either. KISS came back with Animalize, now that album sold good again. Crazy Nights, Hot in the Shade and Revenge all had hit singles, 1 US top 10 and 2 in the UK. Vinnie havent done nothing since ASG, 31 years ago.
You might be right.
hahahaha yeah right ! He looks like an old lady, lol
True dat
LOFL Vinnie couldn't save himself let alone an established band like "KISS" who may have had there ups & downs but in all fairness Vinnie did help cowrite some good songs and due to a tour that was booked & pressed for time they hired Vinnie out of pure desperation and up until that point ge had them convinced he was a team player but his true colors ecentually came out.. If Vinnie was as talented as some peoplw make him out to be we woild have a dozen releases by now but but as history shows Vinnie hasn't done jack shit in the last 30+years. If he was a true artist ge would have been musically active. By the looks of him its evidently clear he has addiction issues & vased on his physical appearance its obvious he has no reguard for his health which says he is a weak man or whatever he identifies as?
I'm sick of the shit being said about Vinnie... He a very cool guy! And a nice person. That's all we should care about!
I think he should face all the comments and speak about it openly, instead of letting the world constantly trying to figure WTF is going on
I agree, but look at the Lick it up video and him in VV invasion. He just likes to wear make-up and dress this way. I honestly don't think he's transitioning. And if he is so what. Just as long he respects us and fans and people which he does and he's happy I say leave Vinnie alone These are rumors, people don't know the truth. And rumors hurt people. And half truths are worse than lies. My opinion
You could care about his health. He is not going well. Needs HRT.
I do care about the guy. What does caring about his heath connect with the annoyance of the Transition rumor. The HRT news is new to me. Rumors can really hurt people. Even if it's a half truth.
cry me a fucking river
Glad to see him healthy and happy..his Invasion album is fantastic!
Did his granddad live long enough to him become a rock star.
Also this is my first viewing of Vinnie Vincent after finding out he was with KISS. Seems patient and accommodating, like a gentleman.
Disturbing....very disturbing
Vinnie is awesome
Fact: KISS released SEVEN singles co-written by Vinnie!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Good interview. She brings the best out of him.
Gay
I heard that while on tour with "KISS" I heard that in his book Paul said that Vinnie would always be staring or would be trying to take a sneak peak at Paul & Gene's junk in the change rooms before & after shows ..Im not sure if its triue but it sounds creepy as heckn
"I'm a pole dancer on a RUclips channel" Haha My God how far we have fallen from decency and self respect!!
Vinnie is the nicest dude. My friend and I bumped into him after a show years ago and he could not have been friendlier. Super good guy. Very cool to the fans.
YEA, sure thing tard...

Vinnie Vincent Boxset - I was ripped off by Vinnie!!!
Postby erg2 » Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:29 pm
In 1997/1998, Vinnie Vincent had a website that was selling a $150 boxset of unreleased, re-mixed, extended and re-recorded VVI and KISS music. I was/am both a huge fan of KISS and Vinnie Vincent's music. However, I was VERY poor at the time. I lived in a rented room and found the vinnie site while borrowing some AOL time over at a friend's apartment because I couldn't afford internet.
note: why would I be spending $150 when I clearly didn't have it and could live without a VV boxset? I'm an idiot.
So I downloaded the order form, wrote a personal check for the purchase and sent it in. (My favorite part was that you could choose if you wanted a "glossy" cover or a "matter" cover to the box. WHY?!?!?) It never came and never came and never came.
About a year later, things were going better for me. I had a better job, had my own place and my own internet. (Yay PORN!) I began hounding Vinnie for my money. I would send emails and letters constantly asking that I get either the boxset or my money back. Eventually I received this letter in the mail with all kinds of pages of meandering crap. It was clear that whomever had written it was trying to make it sound as if there was an actual record company with an actual staff of employees behind the Metaluna name...but the writing is so poor that I'm pretty sure it was just Vinnie in whatever home office he had pretending he was still a big shot.
It wasn't too long after that I found the Kissasylum forums. I told my story there and found a few others that had been ripped off. I also found that Vinnie had pretty much squandered all his money and Metaluna didn't really exist anymore. (If it ever really did.) I gave up on my dream to ever see my $150 back in my bank account or to be hearing the boxset. (I would still prefer to have the boxset!)
Enclosed (hopefully) is a PDF of the letter and all the contents.
Sorry about the quality. Took the pictures with my iPhone...
My friend and I saw Vinnie after a show many years ago. I will never forget how gracious you were to us. Thank you, Vinnie and good luck in your new era.
True facts Vinnie did save kiss ! And today is still amazing guitar player !!!
Vinnie seems like a real sweetheart.
She really is.
Shes right. Vinnie does have a very supportive cult following. 🩵
All the bashing he took from kiss and still takes from mark slaughter who never shuts up about vinnie vinnie just keeps quit. And to himself. You gotta ask yourself who’s is really the douche the people that talk endless shit about him or the the guy that just keeps quit . Kiss was dead vinnie saved them period. Mark slaughter would be working at guitar center if vinnie didn’t launch his career period.
Leave Mick Mars mom alone...
Respect what the man has done. Wheres your interview and video?
Timothy Blackburn $600 a week back then was a lot of money. And Vinny had great ability but he never became a great guitarist because he just wanted to play as fast as possible without doing what was appropriate for whichever song he was playing.
Yeah Sure1488
HOLY SHIT!!!!😂😂😂😂....Now THAT is FUNNY!!
And to add to this.....I don't understand how anyone on this planet possibly believes this guy/gal was some talented guitarist!
NO!!.....
He/she might have come up with a few good riffs, when he/she was with them....But a 'great' musician???....Phuq Dat!!
He/she has all of the musical prowess of a blender full of gravel!!....Warbling runs of fast non-sensical jibberish!
I'm gonna have to look up the title of the video, but the first time I ever heard him/her play, was some guitar tutorial here on youtube.
It's like 54 minutes or something like that....but I only made it through 2 minutes or so.....It was so awful!!.....I mean like CRINGE WORTHY awful.
It was like the noise a dial up modem used to make, but plugged into a Marshall stack.....
I play better than him/her, and I suck!!!....Seriously!.....
I forgot to mention....I sure hope nobody was surprised by the transformation!!....I mean, when he/she had his/her own band, the first thing I thought, when I saw a promo pic was, 'Shit! That chick is ugly as fuck'.'......When I found out who it was, I knew his/her future....
Timothy Blackburn Vinnie WAS a great guitar player. I've yet to see him play anything through an amplifier with an electric guitar. I actually wonder what he sounds like today.
ruclips.net/video/d5XJ2sh6OyU/видео.html
Vinnie seems like a very nice person
agree ..I have listened to alot of interviews with him...I actually have found him endearing
@@michaelfrazia4569 Until you read about how he ripped fans off, etc. Do some digging.
For the ones thinking Vinnie is transitioning, don't you know anything about Vinnie? He was always very effiminate. I mean if Paul Stanley questions your sexuality you know you gotta be girlie!! Is it just me or does Vinnie always seem very uneasy when being interviewed?
Ron Just Ron He’s probably worried someone will ask him about the box set like they did in Atlanta or how he was able to take a trip around the world after he got booted from Kiss if he only made 550 a week. You can’t even leave town on that.
Marty White he said he only got paid $550 a week? Lol.. if memory serves me right vinnie was paid similar to Eric Carr, high 6 figures, plus he was paid royalties on the songs he co-wrote. I went yesterday and looked up some old clips of vinnie giving interviews just to make sure my memory was correct. My memory was correct, vinnie has always talked and acted like he is in this and other current videos. I don't know if it's ever been established if he is gay or not but I do notice he is never asked if he is married or has any kids.
Ron Just Ron From all accounts he has two kids, was married but his wife died. She was murdered, after they divorced. Vinnie’s been claiming ever since his reemergence that he only made 550 a week. No one has challenged him on that.
Things I saw on fansites a few years ago put Eric at 3500 a week and Vinnie at 2k a week. Then after Creatures flopped they both lost half of that. Who knows. But that sounds more realistic than what Vinnie says.
Hey Marty, thanks for that Info. I never knew Vinnie had kids or was married, I kind of just figured he probably had kids but wasn't sure if he was gay or not. I was just reading that someone got from an old interview with Bill Aucoin that Eric was paid $100k A year when he first joined the band. Which doesn't sound like a lot now but back in 1980 that was pretty good money. I cannot seem to find anything about how much he was making towards the end of his tragically cut short life. But if Vinnie was in KISS and accepting $550 a week, he was a darn fool, perhaps mentally retarded! I did read that KISS supposedly did cut in half Eric;s salary during the Lick it up period because KISS was not selling out stadiums any longer. But like you said, who knows. If KISS was severely underpaying him Im sure by the mid 80's Eric could have easily joined another more lucrative band but he didn't, so Im gonna guess that Eric was being paid enough that made him happy.
Ron Just Ron What’s interesting is that if Eric made 100k a year when he started, that’s pretty much the equivalent of the 2k a week Vinnie’s fansites said he was making. Not the 550 Vinnie claimed to have made. You’re right that in the early 80s that was a lot of money. I ran an inflation calculator a bit ago. The buying power was more like 200k.
Vinnie? all legend & little talent.. lucky to have made some money in music, most players at his level drive a truck or make coffees..
He should start his own talk show I think he would be a great host
Creeeeeepy
Vinne semes nice guy wow and he looks good for his age
are u blind u idiot? he looks like a woman...this ass ripped off so many fans. he is a liar.
He is now a she...transgender....stop calling her a man
@@richardlawson6787 he has not admitted to that. obviously I can see why someone would question it, but he hasn't said it
@@michaelfrazia4569 yes she. Has.....do you live under a rock?..actions speak louder than words...comes out in a woman's pant suit...women's shoes..makeup...painted fingernails...that says it all
Let's face it, everyone knew.
He aged better than the rest of the Kiss guys .. You gotta give Vinnie that.
Paul look pretty good
If by aged better you mean turning into a 70 year old grandmother...
@@broderp look at his look in eyes .
He s more nice and in peace than Paul or Gene ...
@@broderp I mean...he was always a hot femboy. Now he's a cute grandma. So what?
LMAO! Really? Because the rest of the Kiss guys still look like men.
Two gorgeous ladies in this video.
😂
She’s looks better and also asks better questions than all the other interviews I’ve seen with him. From this interview you got Beatles, John Lennon, grandpa upstairs, Sopranos (hell yeah), and he likes watching girls dance (not surprised). Amazing to hear Vinnie give respect to James Gandolfini. Been watching Sopranos again on Amazon. Bada Bing! Vinnie is an excellent musician and lyricist. Cheers.
Dan Eden thank you so much it was all just a flowing conversation ! I didn't plan any of it !!
Fun Fact: Vinnie wrote all the music for the Joannie loves Chachi TV show!
If he just played normally instead of going nuts with the effects he might have been successful. It got to the point of being annoying.
hIS LEAD PLAYING SUCKS ASS
I agree. Slow it down some, let the music breath. Everything isn't 32 notes and distortion. There's a place for that. Learn the balance
Abla kadın çok tatlı
She doesn’t have a CLUE who he is.
Obviously I do
Legdanary? Far from it, Ace and Bruce are the only great guitarists kiss has ever had, VV was beyond tragic
What an unusual person, I must say
Say what you want about vincenzo he can play!!!
If he would just stop that smiling. its just odd.
Vinnie saved Kiss twice!
Didn't save shit
LOL the guy on the right "Tell them to wrap up come on let's go" xD
Vinnie Vincent, the legend. Awesome guitar player!
Legend LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@have_a_good_cry_libtard5733 Legend of garbage LOL
Funny how I would come home from school in 8th grade bangin out kiss songs on electric.
It's funny when you living in Chattanooga there's a good possibility I've seen Vinny before and just thought it was some woman that look kind of like him and that's all I thought
True artists always use their feminine parts of the brain to create their best work.Thats why rock bands write better songs when their high.Drugs can relax the masculine male ego and let the female parts of the brain to work its magic.
Man vinnie looks hotter than girl
She offered herself to him and Vinnie complimented her shoes.
She stated she has a husband to start with, she shouldn't stray to begin with - not everyone's into screwing around & with married ppl @ that!
There's more to life, than getting laid!
Just coz YOU think with the wrong head & hey, you might find her attractive, doesn't mean everyone else thinks she's hot!!!!
Vinnie saved KISS. Never forget this
You took this comment
yeah he is cool
She
Vinnie Vincent sir?, more like ma'am, she's a woman
Wonder if she slipped him her number under the table?
The broad interviewing Vinnie doesn't even know who he is.
A. F. Ya I do
@@76DianaLynn you did fine. Vin is a sweetheart. I helped on his page a while. These ppl are jerks.
Lets see how well he can still play an electric guitar.
I can’t stand when they make the artist “wrap it up “they were getting into a conversation that Vinny was enjoying and we were enjoying watching. That rockstar bullshit is ridiculous. But it’s not his fault, managers and handlers, have giant egos, sometimes bigger than the artist. And they love that control. So it’s THEM with the rockstar bullshit, And I know there’s time and deadlines, etc. But the point of the interviews is to expose the artist and have people interested. When it starts getting interesting, don’t “wrap it up “ sometimes it takes a while to get going. Such bullshit.
VINNIE SAVED SIMMONS AND STANLEY THEY SHOULD INVITE HIM TO PLAY NIGHT ONE OF THE FINAL SHOW OR A SHOW IN OCTOBER
So are all the reporters told certain questions are off limits? No one, anywhere, asks any questions that his history dictates. They act like he's a new artist bursting on the scene. Of course he is appearing quite effeminate, in some he's wearing blouses and such, and we're all wondering, respectfully if he's having some issues related to sexuality. What about his Kisstory? That is HUGE. The dogs, his wife's death, his off the scene for years, and so on.
So is this CNN interviewing scarily clinton, where only "soft" questions are allowed and they protect her and ask her nothing of substance?
Nor being a douche just think he could just get these weird things out of the way, because we wonder, and he seems like a grown-up man now...uhm.....okay soft spoken man, but he also will probably depend on fan money - we fans buying his songs and products and paying his convention fees and that part of that territory is that fans wonder about things. Now, he could say, "You know what? That was a dark part of my life I don't want to talk about it and I am sorry if I hurt or offended anyone, or I am just who I am and leave it at that," and at least it's addressed and stop some of the trolls like me writing about him.
Agree ... 100%
DJB He probably wants to write a book and doesn’t want to give anything away.
Does anybody know vinnie vincents nationality?
Italian
His nationality is American. His ethnicity is Italian.
Awesome!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁⏪⏪⏪⏪😁😁😁😁😁⏪⏪⏪
Vinnie is more legendary than Tommy Thayer,at least on that note Vinnie unlike Tommy wont go down in history as an imposter.
My god morticia Addams!
Say what you want about Vinnie but he's still got mad axe chops.
You have no idea what he can play. He’s never played a guitar solo in public since 1988.
What stupid, factless comment. Show me one video of him playing anywhere near his Invasion days. I think he's washed up. He's been out long enough to have had some sort of recording done if he can still play.
Gotta say great interview ....love that you got the real Vinnie ....met him before him and Paul are the nicest gentleman........I subscribed caused of this ....join the VV FB it's cool
Thank you 😊 This was such a pleasure this was a unrehearsed in scripted sitdown . Vinnie is a sweetheart ❤️
Diana Lynn l used to work in a guitar shop in nyc ...he used to come to ....he is the same dude ...I knew then.....shame RUclips haters....cant shut their mouths and eyes and open their minds.... just listen
Can anyone send me a link to vinnies facebook page thank you
Now that she's out of the closet Vinnie needs to change her name...vanessa would be pretty...
"rock'n'roll pole fitness"
I love Vinnie. Always have. He looks like Joey Ramone here. Lol
Wtf you talking about? Joey never looked like a queer
He has nothing of joey ramone to me grumpy
Una chica musculosa con un hombre que se parece a una señora grande esto es patético.
All Systems Go is A TRUE GEM!
Vinnie seems like a real cool dude.
dude ?
@@dclay9189 Have you been watching Angel Price or Nex Wex Backup?
y does he look like a man in a dress
Robert Smith he's not wearing a dress
Rogan, I dont see the dress in this video. haha
Does he still play guitar Vinnie play something...
Yep....the skin flute....
He doesn't play well with others he wasn't a team player so he probably just plays with himself "LoL"
Look, it's Elvirus
Bahahahaha
That's Vinnie? WTF? Isn't that a woman?
Check out (Sucker For a Pretty Face) it's a great 80s rock album by Rockcandy! Also the singer (J. Anes) had a band B4 Rockcandy called Sinful with Nuno Bettencourt on guitar B4 Extreme! search here on RUclips for (Sinful Demo Album 1985). Enjoy!!!
Eu gostei do jeito do VINIE !
I thought it was a woman 😶
Vinnie is a woman now
Vinnie is an effeminate dude, and was always gender-bending throughout his career. His appearance doesn't surprise me. Love him or hate him, Vinnie is a supremely talented...um...person. He was one of the few guitarists in hard rock in 1983 with the chops to hang with EVH. So get off his back.
Vinnie us a hack. Listen to 1 og his solos and you can hear he ripped iff Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck & EVH to name a few. His solos are nothing special, hard on the ears & I think I sounded better then Vinnie in my first year of playing at age 14.
Caitlyn Vincent
Teyze yiaaa

Whose the crappy hooters waitress on the left?
🖕
VINNIE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.
He reminded me of RR on creatures tour.
Awkward ending. Cut!
You know what, I loved the V.V. image with KISS. I loved his musical style and it was thing that brought me Creatures and Lick it up. But for the life of me, I can't look at him now without thinking "what's your pronouns?"
Sorry but this guy blew it.
Looks like Vinnie's transition surgery is going well.
Which one is Vinnie?
He looks like a house wife? WTF happened to him ?
donuts
Tell him to wrap up. No more lengthy 7 minute videos.
He is Vinnie Vicent?
I thought it was his aunt.
Is it me or that lady in black has very manly hands
gabriel sandoval almost big as your moms
Coolest name

You're a LibTard Cry Baby your a bitch
Poor little boy. Still using up mommies bandwidth today?
Run along child...
Keep on taking it up the ass in prison jailbird, LMFAO
As a life long KISS fan I can honestly say I'm more interested in Diana Lynn the bada bing girl from Sopranos, it was cool that Lick It Up featured in one episodes though
So much potential wasted.
Why doesn't Vinnie ever talk about his transgender thing!!
Larze Because It's none of yours or our fucking business.
Thomas McBride if you do something you want to do and believe in then someone should not have any problems avoiding or talking about it.
Probably because it's something he feels a lot of the fans won't deal with too well. Or maybe Gene asked him not to talk about it.
No...for obvious reasons.
Larze , Then go to court. haha
Just look at him. He wants to live as a woman. Could not be more obvious. And last I checked, it is still a free country so we can discuss this. This is a bit odd. You can't pretend you don't feel a little surprised and those who interview him are dancing around this most obvious issue.
Lots would not say legendary
Really good to see Vinnie again. I caught the Vault jam session with Gene Simmons; cool shit. Gene was blunt, but honest. God bless, fellas.
Whos that chick interviewing my grandma?
LMAO!
hahahahaha
CurbsideLife Hahahah😂
He sounds a little bit like Mr Rogers
