      Maybe but first he didn’t have the connections like Carmen said. Carmen did. Second he went back on his word which back then meant way more than it does for so many today. I personally lived by that type of moto. If I say I’m gonna do something it becomes who I am. When I follow through on my word I build trust. If I go back on my word I’m full of crap. And I still believe that today and with other people. If someone doesn’t follow through except in extreme cases like a mother dying. If they could follow through and don’t I want nothing to do with them. It’s an integrity thing and some have none!

    I know there’s a lot of harsh words thrown at Vinnie. But as long as he doesn’t mess with kids I believe live and let live. He’s really quirky and had a weird ego and now looks like a old woman. My ex girlfriend from the 80’s loved him so I kinda had to act like I like his playing. When I saw the VVI and that video he did playing a thousand notes a minute with no rhyme or reason I just couldn’t hold it anymore. I told her come on now he sucks I mean he’s got talent he could really do some good stuff but it’s all gimmicks and stuff that’s already been done. There’s literally no originality to it. He’s trying to come across as dangerous but looks like a little girl. It doesn’t add up. If he would just stick to playing decently instead of being something he’s not he could go much further. I said people will see right through this once he tours enough. Well that was the end of our relationship shortly after that 🤣🤣🤣

They damn near went bankrupt had to put the makeup back on to start selling tickets again so it's people going to listen to the music or to watch people run around and make up I mean it's a honest question the facts state that people go to watch people run around in make up, If not they would have continued to sell out shows when they took it off I don't know You tell me I used to be a huge kiss fan

    Let’s face it - he played for Kiss - enough said. When I was younger back in the early 70’s - anyone who liked Kiss was a young child - like 10 years old or so. To older kids - including myself at about 15 - Kiss was a joke. And to this day - anyone who likes Kiss was obviously born 4-5 years before me. And now these kids have turned into adults - and bring their young kids to watch these fools. Even the radio stations back in the early 70’s use to laugh at Kiss. Hey - the fact is they’re good performers - but musically talent wise they’re really not very good. Just my opinion.
