Vinnie was a great collaborator to Gene and Paul, he has his merits on his own as a songwriter and guitar player when self edited but if you see the transcripts from the various suits it is clear that Vinnie doesn't have too much of a claim to stand on and has his suits dismissed regularly when he fails to comply with the courts demands for things like valid membership to a musicians association or a handwriting analysis when he alleged documents were forged. I thank him for the music and the memories but he needs an intervention.

Vincent lost his mind right about the time he got the Kiss gig. For what ever reason he decided he was gonna go rouge and act as an independent writer/musician and insist Kiss accommodate him. I remember some interviews in Creem magazine where Vinnie went off on Gene and Paul for not allowing him too shine in Kiss and wouldnt let him have 20 minute guitar solo's. Frankly VV was one of the less interesting shredders of the 80's. Lots of Speed and Technicality but not very clean or tastefully employed. It's no surprise he is a Leper in the Rock and Metal community. Supposedly he stole,scammed and lied throughout much of his musical career.

I agree. Those were two of their best albums! I'd include both in my top 5 Kiss records!

Vinny Vincent, has a net worth of around 1 million. He wrote many songs that helped Kiss make a come back when they were having trouble selling tickets. He played 6 of the 9 songs on "Creatures Of The Night" and wrote 3 songs. hum 1/3 of the album. As for "Lick It Up" he's got co writes on 8 out of 10 songs. That's 80% of the album and played 100% of that album. On "Revenge" he wrote or co-wrote 3 of the 12 songs. so that's 1/4 of the album. Songs written and co written by Vinnie Vincent Mind you also happen to be huge fan favorites. Here's the list of songs that wouldn't have been possible without Vinnie Vincent 1. Killer 2. I Still Love You 3. I Love It Loud. There's the 3 from "Creatures of the night" 4. "Exciter" 5. "Not for the Innocent" 6. "Lick It Up" 7. "Young and Wasted" 8. "Gimme More" 9. "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" 10. "A Million to One" 11. "And on the 8th Day" There's 80% of "Lick It Up" 12. "I Just Wanna" 13. "Heart Of Chrome" 14. "Unholy" Now there's 1/3 of "Revenge" Excluding his 1978' solo album. "Ace Frehley, as great as he was didn't ever write 1/3 of any Kiss album. And probably never wrote 80% of any solo album. If he has then it sure never sold as much as those three albums that featured "Vinnie Vincent" "I'm personally not a fan of his guitar, solo's but there's no denying his importance to Kiss and how great his songs are. My favorite non-makeup "Kiss" tunes were written by Vinnie." "I Love It Loud "Young & Wasted "Not For The Innocent "Unholy"

What is the publishing on a KISS song from that era even worth these days? Like 50 cents a week? KISS isn't really known for having these amazing songs. It's their shows that pay them big money. "Lick It Up?" Do people still listen to that song? Even if their legion of fans listen to that stuff on spotify or whatever, those apps rip off the musicians and pay next to nothing for it.

And WHY he keeps LOSING!

He should sue Joan Jett for stealing his likeness.

He keeps hoping that one of the suits doesn't get tossed and he gets paid 😜

Vinnie fucked up !

Still don't know why he keep suing. What's the point of this post?

Vinnie reminds me of Ted Bundy.

KISS was a business. You join a business and don’t sign a contract? Naive at best..

it was contractual Did you ever sign your contract? No.

Vinny sounds like a nice guy but he has me wondering “What is fair? His way?” It’s great he looks back fondly on his tenure with Kiss and says he loves them. I don’t know much about these lawsuits but obviously, he thinks he hasn’t been treated fairly, Yet he was dealing with 2 people (Gene and Paul) who’d been in Kiss a whole decade before he was. And of course, though Eric Carr was in the same position Vinny was, he knew it wouldn’t be wise to wage war with the founding members.

I went to the Creatures of the Night concert and Vinnie was there and he was forgettable and the open up act was Wendy O. Williams.

Yeah that's it's pattern.

In this modern society, if you want ownership of something, or if you want to work for a company, you have to sign the contrsct. Bonnie thought that by signing the contract, he would lose his righys. The opposite was true. The correct would have been a big piece of evidence.

It's always been about Gene and Paul, except when it'd between those two. Then it's Gene or Paul in their eyes. I agree with protecting what's yours, but when theirs other members, whether original or not, then they should get their honest share while in the band. And by honest share, if there's three in the band, then it's split three ways. If five, then split 5 ways. Each is integral in that band being who they are.

Perhaps you should listen to other guitarists from some well known bands it mite open your eyes & ears to the true definition of what a awesome guitarist sounds like. Also if Vinnie was an artist he would've been releasing albums for the last 30 years. Instead of doing anything productive Vinnie just over charges his last 50 fans insane amounts of money. Iam sure many if them are probably spending their monthly old age pensions in order to go to his annual get-togethers where it appears his only intention is to drain their bank accounts which compendates for his lack of productivity which stems from lack of creativity & from what I've seen his prices are insane. Over priced merch, photos, guitar picks & autographs along with empty promises of box sets, new music, unreleased music, etc. etc. Vinnie has a history of lying, making excuses, blaming somebody else when nothing ever comes. It appears Vincent Cusano will say whatever it takes to keep his last 50 fans happy. Vinnie has mastered the art of pleasing ears. Pleasing the ears of his last 50 fans with empty promises not music.

Is he turning into someone’s aunt ? He looks more like a little old lady every time I see him. Plus I think he might be his own worst enemy. He can play great !!! But there something going on with him. I hope he gets help .

VV never signed a contract as a member of KISS because he thought he’d hold out for more money, then he got reminded who he was dealing with by getting relegated to hired gun. It’s as simple as that. He certainly didn’t help his cause by hijacking the few KISS live shows he actually played with 11 minute unplanned guitar solos😂 This is what bitter regret and projection look like, kids.

What 1 or 1 1/5 albums that he participated on with kiss? How much does he think that they owe him? I'm pretty sure that the albums that he was a part of were just ok. I hate to say it, but he's a nut-job!!!

The reason Vinny keeps suing Kiss is because he’s Broke. Vinny blew every opportunity he was given. With his recent appearances he drove to them with an old clunker car. Bald tire’s, dent’s a complete Rag of a vehicle. On his last gathering he had to ask for a jumpstart in order to leave. Finally the car started and as he was driving out of the parking lot one could hear a loud backfire and see a cloud of black smoke.

Want to see where Gene Simmons got his on stage persona? Search Sensational Alex Harvey Band Midnight Moses and watch the guitarist, Zal Cleminson. That's where he got the whiteface and the tongue sticking out bit. Zal wore makeup like a pantomime guy. Think about it, who wears whiteface makeup, black lipstick and black makeup designs around the eyes? You might thing "clowns wear whiteface and lipstick" but is it black lipstick and only right on the lips and do they stick their tongue out frequently? Gene straight up imitated Zal with only the modification of the eye makeup design changed to a bat wing form, Zal even had big curly hair like Gene did. That band was around right before and during the time Kiss formed and started wearing the makeup, it's obvious where they got the idea from. Gene never once said anything about imitating Zal, he pretended it was all their own original idea, and he got away with it because Zal's band was a British one and virtually unknown in America. BTW, Zal left that band in 1977 and joined the band Nazareth in 1979 and stopped wearing the mime makeup, so Gene's secret was safe after that, nobody ever figured it out.
