      A feel a lot of it has to do with VV protecting himself and what he created musically within the bands he was in. He wrote or co wrote KISS's biggest songs when he was with them and they didnt show him respect financially. The guy stood by his convictions thats for sure....but he stood up for himself in one of the biggest bands in the world and that went over like a lead ballon. KISS did screw him over from a financial aspect.

      @@markherring3513 it's funny how Carmine openly says here, "I demanded to be paid royalties for the songs Vinnie wrote." And thinks Vinnie is the asshole for saying, "Uhhhh no I wrote 'em, I get the credit and the royalties, that's how publishing works."
      Carmine had been in the biz a long time by then, he knew that. He apparently got VV to agree on a handshake deal saying otherwise and then got disappointed by him finally sticking up for himself.. but really, that story says more about him than it does about VV.
      VV still sounds like a total weirdo of course. And by many accounts, a real ripoff artist in recent years.

    Vinnie Vincent is proof positive that all the talent in the world is meaningless if you're a shitty human being. Yes, he could undeniably shred, but if you can get past being awestruck by his speed, his playing further exemplifies his total self indulgence. I can't stand listening to his live solos, because they're an uncontrolled mess of "Look at me!" Now, when a producer or contract was restraining him, you'd get some real magical moments.
    Vinnie is a fine example of someone who COULD HAVE been something much larger. I can honestly say, too, that he's one guitarist that someone could say, "Oh you're just jealous because you can't play like him," and I could be totally confident and genuine in replying hell no.

    Years ago, I first came to know of Carmine Appice when he was drumming for Rod Stewarts Band (era of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"). Years after that, I saw Carmine at a Sam Ash (Cerritos, Ca.) while he was setting up/prepping for a drum workshop (maybe 2000'ish?). I just wanted to shake Carmines hand and thank him for the years of music. As I stood there, there were about 4 little kids talking to Carmine, who had no ideo who he was. I believe the kids were in there for the(school) band section, but you know how it is, kids have the run of the store. These kids were asking Carmine tons of questions about drums and music. I was absolutely amazed at the time Carmine took to answer questions and talk to these kids. Very professional. I hope today, these kids are still playing music and now know who Carmine is. They can tell everyone about the time they chatted it up with Carmine! Carmine Appice, you command the highest respect, Sir. I never did get to shake your hand, but on that day, it was for the better! Till we meet again........

      @Grg Dps Which was more than they should have because...
      Kiss went on tour to support "Creatures" and "Lick it up" albums they quickly found that they made a mistake having Vinnie in their fold. Because, look at the logistics which come with doing a tour:
      - You have to hire truckers to move the entire thing from city to city during the tour
      - You have to hire a crew to build the stage
      - You have to hire sound crew to make sure the shows sound good every night
      - You have to hire special effects people to make sure the pyrotechnics of a show will work as they should every single night. (Certainly for a band like Kiss, that's their bread and butter right there.)
      - You have to hire promoters to make sure the venues can be booked.
      AND
      - You have to make sure that every single one of those people hired is insured, because should a calamity happen to that said person, medical bills would be taken care off by the insurance company.
      So every single member of the tour crew (Which includes the band members themselves) has to sign a contract which in return means:
      - That they will be insured during that said tour.
      - Will receive proper payment for their services for the full duration of that tour.
      - Will be properly taken care of, have a bed to sleep in and enough to eat during the tour.
      Vinnie let his contract expire which meant that the band was basically touring with an uninsured employee and basically had to pay for hotel stays out of their own pockets.
      As I pointed out earlier, a Kiss show is a well planned out event, it HAS to be. But Vinnie's solos became longer and longer, screwing up the tightly rehearsed timeline of the show and after coming near blows with Paul Stanley one night, Vinnie was shown the door.
      He sued the band a couple of times for unpaid royalties but every single time he tried, the band's lawyers presented the judge with the paperwork which showed that Vinnie was paid the amount of money his contract said he was getting when the contract was still viable.
      And by letting his contract expire, there was no reason for the band to continue playing him.

      Let's not get too over-hyped about that. VV is plenty weird but he's sure as hell not as weird as Michael Jackson. Or Elton John. Or a hundred others.
      The difference is that millions of people will still love Jackson's and John's songs in fifty years, and already now the only people who give any thought at all to Vinnie Vincent are KISS nerds and people who just enjoy rock'n'roll gossip.

    • @garyhill2740

      Bruce is a talented guitar player in a technical sense.
      There's only one Ace.
      Ace Frehley and Vinnie Vincent are the only musicians from Kiss that have done anything outside of Kiss I even care to listen to. I have all of Ace's records since his 2009 comeback. I like them all.
      Appice recently said something about Vincent that is very true. He said when he "plays like Vinnie, good blues rock stuff, he's great".
      He is.
      I enjoy listening to the Warrior demos album where he writes all the tunes, sings, and plays guitar. Just good hard rock guitar with cool solos. He should do more of that. But the Vinnie Invasion, apart from "Animal" and "Back On the Streets" gives me a headache. There are some songs that have leaked out from his unfinished 90's album, like "Invincible" that have potential, I'd like to hear them fleshed out as finished recordings. But I wish he'd sing them instead of hiring people on helium to wail out the lyrics, and just play some good hard rock guitar. The speed shredding thing isn't his thing. It isn't really anybody's thing. Back in the day it was supposed to be cool, and nobody wanted to admit it sucked and just gave them a headache.

    I met Carmine when he was playing drums for Nugent. It was funny because I pissed him off. I was asking him drum questions when he told me that he just put on a workshop in Detroit (where we were). I told him I could not get in because he did the workshop at a 21+ venue. So then he tells me he has books out with records in them to play along with. He got really pissed when I said that his stuff is too expensive. I was better off buying the album and just figuring the drums out.
    He actually told me to give him his autograph back. I told him F you - I am selling this thing.

None of these issues are funny, or easily remedied. None of us want to insult Mr. Vincent in any way, and we understand that working with Stanley Eisen and Chaim Witz is perhaps one of the most taxing musical jobs you could ask for. Certainly Mr. Vincent would have found it difficult.

I watched him throw a guitar on to concrete and 2 songs into a paying gig he snapped over the mix and proceeded to start yanking cables. AFAIK he never was in a band again.
