VINNIE VINCENT 

                    

Dynamite!!!

IF YOU PLAY HEAVY METAL GUITAR, THIS GUY IS A BETTER SHREDDER

THAN YOU ARE. This video above is a technical demonstration, totally ridiculous and laughable. an endless improvisation of speed and insanity against the cheapest drum machine sound they could possibly find but it is not a typical guitar lesson, and you will definitely learn something. Even if you don't play it might be cool, once you get over your prejudices against shredder-lead guitar players. And Vinnie fell into that trap, totally. And he's no Yngwie, but was still damn good at shredding, and scared the fucking SHIT out of most 70s lead guitar players. Don't listen to the comments on YouTube.      

Those people don't have any credibility at all. "Shhhhhh!" 

VINNIE does!

Ask Ace! (Not some zit-faced kid that has been practicing spaghetti guitar for less than two years!) Several cats stand out from his era,  The ones who had their own style, and didn't sound exactly like bad imitations of Eddie Van Halen. V.V. did occasionally step in that dog shit, but usually played too smoothly to sound so second rate and derivative. He can also play much more than just heavy metal. Make no mistake, That was a trap he fell into being a victim of the era he was in.  I'm an Ace Frehley fan, but that doesn't mean I'm not also a fan of the Double V.

ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE



      Vinnie was dangerously close to mimicking other guitarists, but usually did it in a way that sounded like only Vinnie.  That's what I look for in a rock soloist above all is a distinguished sound, tone, and style, all his own, regardless of musical foundation.

But Vinnie also had that, as you can see when he talks theory above. I really dug the scene where they slowed the tape speed down, but you would have to actually watch the lesson. It's not Super-theory at all, yet he knows the basics and then some. His understanding of the guitar fret board is far deeper than Paul Stanley's or Ace Frehley's. No disrespect to Vinnie now, but I still think Ace can blow him away with one burning note and some feedback. (But Vinnie could also then fire back and just mimic Ace's big note and then finish with a lightning solo, instantly. Guitar Wars. 

The problems are: 1. The feedback tone wouldn't be as good through that Flying V as a Les Paul and 2. Ace has better vibrato and plays more artistically,like a painter, not a shredder, while Vinnie is all about technique, and can never finish a solo.  He's still playing one  right now  from the '90s if you believe the rumors. Getting to the finish line is like chasing a sunset for Double V, and maybe that's why he plays so fast; the solos are so long that he's just trying to speed things up a bit and fast forwarding to

The End.

       And no disrespect towards Bruce Kulick, Bob's younger brother (he was in Kiss for well over a decade, but we talk more about Bob here because of the focus on the earlier era) ("Bob's the one with the mustache" - Paul Stanley) but I've always tried to imagine what Kiss might have sounded like in the '80s had Ace never left.  But even more so what Vinnie would have sounded like on albums like Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights, Hot in the Shade, Revenge, and even Carnival of Souls. Paul Stanley, if you don't get in touch with Vinnie now, then you're a total jerk in the Kiss Final Judgment, the box set Gene doesn't know how to make, but I do. Why don't these idiots do something like Hard to Believe first instead giving us sloppy seconds? You know what I've been telling you to do.  Be inclusive, and use everybody.

The true KISS metal years were 1982-84 with Vinnie V.  As soon as he was gone, they started chasing his shadow, hiring Mark. St. John. THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME...
You've killed the family with business guys.  Look what you've done to us.
Look at what you are reading!!!!!! Oh wait, I forgot, you're blind. Does Gene read in

Braille?  He could teach you.  I think he knows, but you're the boss.
He does the products basically, and sticks out his tounge, and sets you up.
GENE'S THE STRAIGHT MAN!!!  You guys are Abbott and Costello 2.

To you goes all of the Glory, and all the Blame.

Especially Psycho Circus, but we'll move on. 

What should Van Halen do Paul?????????????????????????????????????
EDDIE VAN HALEN  ALEX VAN HALEN  WOLFGANG VH                        DAVID LEE ROTH  SAMMY HAGAR  GARY CHERONE                         MICHAEL ANTHONY. 
           Be inclusive, Pauly. You need to do MTV 2, but PLUGGED IN, and dig up the tracks of Eric and Mark St. John, out of respect, and do what I say.  You're still thinking inside of the stupid Kiss lineup box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not talking about firing the new band, but also hiring the older band members to participate in a family affair.  Close the sale! And don't forget to credit the
Ghost Musician.
