Vinnie Vincent former Kiss guitarist is a giant loser now

[Cosmicman]

Beats up on his wife and gets in trouble with the law. What a total downfall from a guy I used to think was cool.

Then and now........


....and no the infamous sex change rumors were not true btw. I asked some close friends of Vinnie about that. That started right after he left KISS...I actually believed that one.

Here is the story link...(former fans try not to cry) lol

I bailed on KISS after Peter Criss left. I'm kind of glad I missed out on all the newer members. Stuff like this makes me realize that my heroes are just flawed people too. The dog thing is weird. I wonder if he just kept them because he loved them so much? Who knows.

.. and looks like a lady... a really ugly one!

KISS is and will always be Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace.

honestly I've always saw vinnie as a loser. He just always seemed out of his league even in his own band. Not saying he was a bad guitarist but something about his demeanor. The best thing to come from Vinni Vincent Invasion was Mark Slaughter.

[Remco Monster]

He has always been a giant loser. No big surprise.

Cmonster hit the nail.

Vinnie may have some personal issues but the guy saved KISS so he needs to at least get credit for that....Creatures of the night,Lick It Up and Revenge have Vinnies songwriting all over them....in reality...he's no bigger loser than Ace Frehley and i Love Ace...but it's like comparing apples with apples...

Now that's a face only a mother can love...

I've never been an avid fan of KISS, but I'd agree...

I know they're a great band, wonderful theatrics in their concerts, but just not personally a follower.

[SeattleEd]

Is that his wife on the left?

Vinnie's Contributions While In The Band (Very Late 1982 - Early 1984):

• Creatures Of The Night - 3 Song Co-Credits, Only one of those songs received air play, not their best selling single by any stretch. Album sales were low, and the tour was cut short due to low attendance levels. Album received Gold Status. 56 Shows Performed.

• Lick It Up - 8 Song Co-Credits, Two of which received air play & one of those two was actually written by all four members. Neither were huge hits. Album sales went up as did concert attendance. This is attributed to the strength of the music, the rise in popularity of that style of music at the time, and the hype behind the removal of their makeup. Album Received Platinum Status. 94 Shows Performed.

Kiss did much better in album sales & concert attendance between Mid 1984 - late 1990 (with Bruce Kulick on board):

• Animalize - 1 Song received air play & reached highest chart position since Dynasty's "I Was Made For Loving You", Highest selling KISS album since Alive II, concert attendance very high, shows were frequently added to venues. Platinum Status/119 Shows Performed.

• Asylum - 3 Songs received air play, one of which charted higher than "Lick It Up", Gold Status/91 Shows Performed.

• Crazy Nights - 3 Songs received air play, two of which chart higher than "Lick It Up". Platinum Status/129 Shows Performed

• Hot In The Shade - 3 Songs received air play, all of which chart higher than "Lick It Up", one charts highest since Destroyer's "Beth". Gold Status/123 Shows Performed.

Vinnie's Musical Contributions While Out Of The Band:

• Revenge - 3 Song Co-Credits, Two of which received air play. Neither were huge hits, Album sales were at an all time low and concert attendance was 2nd lowest in their careeer, tour cut short. Album Received Gold Status. 64 Shows + 13 Small Club Performances.

Vinnie is a very self-destructive individual who was in KISS for less than 1.5 years (out of their 38.5 year long career). It's sad that every time he does something stupid KISS has to be drug through the mud with him.
