Vinnie Vincent Had It All—Then Lit It on Fire

Sad story.. Great work !!

Vinnie was and is a horrible player. Dare I say an even more frenetic, sloppy, and completely unmusical "solo" spot than CC Deville.

Steve Farris is one of the best guitarists in history of rock.

I met VV in the late 90's... he spoke like he seriously thought Gene & Paul were going to call him back some day. He had pretty red boots on. It was sad af.

vINNIE ''IMPOSSIBLE'' ego, SAYS gene and paul. WAY TO GO GUYS.

Vinnie Vincent is freaking awesome

Vinny is likely now venessa.Last time he was seen he looked like he was transitioning.Never cared for him.Playing sounded like hyper noodling.

It's a new world when the voice narrarration slip ups are comforting... "at least it's not A.I." !!!!

Vinnie was the best musician to ever be in kiss. Kiss is a joke of a band. Like gwar. Complete kiddy rock.

Was always strange having a woman in KISS.

Bam! Just like that you cover the most dysfunctional dynamo of all six stringers.. I love his work with Kiss, but I ain't ordering anything off him.. many thanks Guitar Meets Science, have a great holiday weekend brother ✌️🤘

Isn't he a woman now?

I’m not sure he had it all. Gene and Paul were putting the screws to Vinnie! But he certainly didn’t help himself.

Vinnie would've had a great career, if he'd put his stupidity aside.
Man, I love those 2 cd's, and EP of his - wish he would've made more music instead of suing kiss.

Fact Vinnie Vincent was a victim of egotists Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Corrrupt promoters and people trying to control him. he is probably like me has a hard to impossible time at trusting people, he probably can not trust people due to something in his past. I can relate. I do not trust "ANYBODY" due to past experiences. But nobody asks Vinnie why are you acting the way you are is there something that scared you in your past. No every jumps to the Vinnie Vincent is a egotistical selfish Narcissist and i say to them No you are mistaking Vinnie Vincent with Paul Stanley and gene Simmons and Ace Frehley and Peter Criss can back that up.

Vinny turned into Victoria. Wackco

I've delted with musicians like this all the time even on a local level it's really pathetic oh I'm the best guitarist yeah in a four block radius congrats dick head

Vinnie Vincent Invasion - All Systems Go is still one of my favorite albums of that time. I was 13 or 14 years old. Good times!

There was this idiot in high school back in the 80s who thought VV was God. He put him higher than Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Dimeola, McLaughlin etc. That’s just pure stupidity.

It’s funny how all of those cheesy 80s metal video show some random hot girl in black-n-white grainy film tossing their hair around looking lost spliced throughout the video and the band playing video on a soundstage. Thank God Nirvana showed up and put these jokes back to roofing.

Aw man, you didn’t say “umbilical”..😢

Vinnie Vincent’s KISS hahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha

Creatures went Gold 💿 on word of mouth I myself got people to by it ...Hottet then Hell is HEAVY

Great guitar player and songwriter. They were using his songs on the Revenge album which came out in 1992, almost a decade after he left. Just a train wreck of a person. I rember Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden wearing Vinnie Vincent Invasion t-shirts around 1988 or so. That's high praise in my book. Great video, regardless. Keep 'em coming! 🤘

One of my fav real human voices to listen to!🤣⚡🤘

Vinnie surfaced not too long ago, leading to rumored he was either dying, or possibly dead-broke. There's also a story way back how his wife was murdered and although he was not involved, yeah that could lead to reclusive behavior.

'Like a burnt out bridge under pissed on water'.

Brilliant guitarist, shit human being.

i wish i could shred like Vinnie in early 80s... i was born in 1990, but his solos in songs like Love Gun or Dr. Love... with all respect to Ace, that was something different...

VV shredding in a ladies pant suit now....
Great video brother!🤘🤘🤘

KISS sucked without Ace. They couldn't even write good songs without him. With the classic line-up, they "were" good song writers. It's amazing how they changed for the worse post Ace. If Gene and Paul wrote the songs, how could they lose their ability to write without Ace?

KISS also lost their groove without the Cat-Man ( like Judas Priest lost their groove sans, Dave Holland).

I still have that Vinny Vincent Invasion album, but i have no idea what the hell possessed me to buy it to begin with.

Great song writer, I do not play an instrument so I do not want to comment on his playing I do like his playing

Vinnie has incredible talent and an incredible narcissist along with it.

It wasn't fame that made VV a piece of crap. Just ask the guys from New England who worked with him in Warrior.

Kiss will always be a shit band that got famous with makeup and pyro. Bruce Kulick was the only talented musician to ever be a part of the band.

Did Vinnie play the 1st RR Jackson beside Randy? That Gold one on the 82' Creatures Tour. I think so.

I met Vinnie at the Atlanta kiss expo! He seemed happy! I was really hoping for new music!

myself i never believed vinnie was that great of a guitar player....

What fame

The guy (or is it ?) sells a CD EP for $ 350 and signed KISS CD's with only his autograph for a ridiculous $ 400 each. Delusional to the max.

A supernova in the Kiss story which, for the most part, slowly faded into the musical equivalent of a red dwarf. What might have been with a third VV inspired Kiss album and a subsequent Alive III (worried about the solo spot? hey, they cut down Ace's solos don't forget - an absolute train wreck unless you were there watching it!). I could understand not giving full shares to the legacy stuff but moving forward? Bruce was an employee (sorry Bruce...)......

A top-notch guitar and songwriting talent. Also, a man driven by his demons. I wish him well. Those Vinnie KISS albums were, imho, the best the band has ever done.

I saw the Vinnie Vincent Invasion when he opened for Alice Cooper. He really did play like Yngwie on meth

Gene and Stanley are well known a holes.

Vinnie Vincent was the 1980s hard rock equivalent of the Dillinger Escape Plan clones of the first decade of the 2000s. Technically impressive but emotionally empty.

Seems like all he had to do was reign in his ego.

The craziest thing about VV are the deaths of his first two wives.

VV didnt save anything. Unmasking and Paul Stanley's work ethic saved Kiss. Vincent gets a lot of credit for a guy who never wrote anything of note without Paul. Paul on the other hand wrote dozens of great tunes without Vinnie

Vinnie should grow a full mustache...

Anybody reading this, get ripped off on his box set that never was released? I laughed upon his return in 2018 when he promised TWO boxsets to the original fans who got ripped off the first time. What a disgrace.
