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
@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.
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?
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.

I was/am both a huge fan of KISS and Vinnie Vincent's music. However, I was VERY poor at the time.

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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
@@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
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.
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!!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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.
@Jesse Williams - You certainly do need to say more if your intention is to prove a point. On the other hand, if your only intention is to demonstrate that you're a witless moron who mindlessly re-states popular prejudices to compensate for your inability to prove points, then you don't need to say more.
@Jesse Williams - The fact that you went to some stripper bars (full of tippers eager to have strippers sit naked on their lap) and had some strippers sit on your lap (and behave how most of the tippers/patrons wanted them to behave) is hardly surprising (the world's full of people doing things they have to do to make money, only usually in non-sexual ways), and doesn't demonstrate that erotic and sensual forms of dancing are innately "trashy" and "slutty", and has zero relevance to the issue of whether or not they sometimes/often involve a high degree of skill and indeed artistry.
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.
Firebrand VOCALS He’s not transitioning because if you look at Paul Stanley he’s never done that type of thing in all his life. I know I may not know Vinnie personally, but we just we need to appreciate the fact that he’s still here and making awesome music.
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.
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.

Glad to see him healthy and happy..his Invasion album is fantastic!

I was/am both a huge fan of KISS and Vinnie Vincent's music. However, I was VERY poor at the time.

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 ❤️
Good interview. She brings the best out of him.
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

cry me a fucking river
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.
Shes right. Vinnie does have a very supportive cult following. 🩵
Vinnie is awesome
She’s looks better and also asks better questions than all the other interviews I’ve seen with him.

Funny how I would come home from school in 8th grade bangin out kiss songs on electric.

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.
What an unusual person, I must say
Can anyone send me a link to vinnies facebook page thank you
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.
All Systems Go is A TRUE GEM!
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
Does anybody know vinnie vincents nationality?
Italian
His nationality is American. His ethnicity is Italian.
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!!!
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"
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
Legdanary? Far from it, Ace and Bruce are the only great guitarists kiss has ever had, VV was beyond tragic
Disturbing....very disturbing
Look, it's Elvirus
Bahahahaha
Which one is Vinnie?
Eu gostei do jeito do VINIE !
Aga be 🥺
Teyze yiaaa
Man vinnie looks hotter than girl
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
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.
Tell him to wrap up. No more lengthy 7 minute videos.
"rock'n'roll pole fitness"
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.
Is it me or that lady in black has very manly hands
gabriel sandoval almost big as your moms
VINNIE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.
My god morticia Addams!
We need a VVI 3 with mark slaughter.
Jorge Fox I suspect he can’t play anymore. He’s been playing acoustic at these expos and he sounds like he’s never held a guitar before.
I'm sure he can play better than Mark can sing. Mark is toast.
NFL is rigged That’s not saying much for Mrs. Mars here.
Well, we don't know how Vinnie plays, but I saw Slaughter a year ago, and Mark is toast.
Jorge Fox they hate each other. Look up Mark talking about it
you are very lucky, im jealous jajaja
this happened cuz he joined kiss
Wonder if she slipped him her number under the table?
Çok tatlışş
Hangisi ahaagwwg
shes a pole dancer!!!!... her folks must be so proud!!!!!!
And so they should be, since it's a wonderful skill (and, as an added bonus, is damn sexy as well).
@Jesse Williams - You certainly do need to say more if your intention is to prove a point. On the other hand, if your only intention is to demonstrate that you're a witless moron who mindlessly re-states popular prejudices to compensate for your inability to prove points, then you don't need to say more.
@Jesse Williams - The fact that you went to some stripper bars (full of tippers eager to have strippers sit naked on their lap) and had some strippers sit on your lap (and behave how most of the tippers/patrons wanted them to behave) is hardly surprising (the world's full of people doing things they have to do to make money, only usually in non-sexual ways), and doesn't demonstrate that erotic and sensual forms of dancing are innately "trashy" and "slutty", and has zero relevance to the issue of whether or not they sometimes/often involve a high degree of skill and indeed artistry.
Now that she's out of the closet Vinnie needs to change her name...vanessa would be pretty...
Caitlyn Vincent
VINNIE SAVED SIMMONS AND STANLEY THEY SHOULD INVITE HIM TO PLAY NIGHT ONE OF THE FINAL SHOW OR A SHOW IN OCTOBER
A real groupie !
freak
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.
Didn't know Mrs. Doubtfire was in kiss
Vinny is a really nice guy. I'm not into all the bashing, but this one, I have to admit made me laugh!
Nerrad Seyon haha no its never nice to bash anyone but I couldnt help it had to say it 😂😂
Lol
play someyhing Vinnie!
Yes, quite talking and light it up. Little practice amp or Marshall, let's go Vinny
Lots would not say legendary
Vinnie is more legendary than Tommy Thayer,at least on that note Vinnie unlike Tommy wont go down in history as an imposter.
He is Vinnie Vicent?
I thought it was his aunt.
That's Vinnie? WTF? Isn't that a woman?
Looks like Vinnie's transition surgery is going well.
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
Awkward ending. Cut!
He sounds a little bit like Mr Rogers
0:50 Dan Hartman
Seriously Is Vinnie transitioning?
TNO73 he looks like a woman
No
No one really knows ... and that increases interest ...
He probably is
Firebrand VOCALS He’s not transitioning because if you look at Paul Stanley he’s never done that type of thing in all his life. I know I may not know Vinnie personally, but we just we need to appreciate the fact that he’s still here and making awesome music.
Vinnie has always been weird. May not be he's gay or on his way to be a woman.
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.
I thought it was a woman 😶
