Talented guy and I hope he still has some of those old jacksons. I don't know the whole story but he seems to have literally went missing.

Talented at what? Making a guitar sound like a chihuahua trapped in a blender!

I meant the Kiss era. His solo stuff was ultra coke fueled wankfest. But that simple song lick it up still is catchy as hell. I'm not even a Kiss fan per say but that song is a skank anthem.

Yeah there's some good stuff on the 2nd album too, 'That Time of Year' and 'Love Kills' are cool.

I was never really into KISS until Creatures of the Night. I like pretty much that whole record. Lick It Up had some good songs but some (Lick it Up being the main one) were what made me check out.

I did see KISS with Vinnie. They were really good. A good friend at the time ordered a custom pink metal flake Jackson RR Custom (S/N <200), I got a red metal flake one (S/N mid-200s).

I don't know what's more entertaining, VV in the 80's or his creepy stalker fans from the VV forum in the early 2000's. :lol: :LOL:

That forum was bizarre. Some guys pretending to be VV and a few more pretending to be his personal representative or something. I vaguely remember the clown running the forum made a grand proclamation that the forum was only for a chosen few then he started permabanning members for no reason, myself included.

:loco:

It got real weird, I do remember VV was seen at court and dressed like a woman, if I remember right it was regarding a restraining order because those guys were showing up at his house from that forum or something like that.

Then the entire package VV demos, tracks etc. that was sold... and only a few went out.

VV just wanted to be left alone around that time and these guys kept showing up to his house and it had some huge fence around the entire house and they were trying to peak over it.

Like I said it's been almost ten years and I forgot all the details so I maybe remembering things a little wrong but it made for very interesting reading and showed why some artists really have a legit reason to be dicks to certain fans. :lol: :LOL:

I forgot about that! Some of those guys were also going to his neighbors' homes and asking them questions about Vinnie IIRC.
 
That guy is total bat-shit crazy. He's tried to sue Kiss 15 times, and at one point had to fork out over $80,000 to the courts for pissing them off with his frivolous lawsuits.

He created forums, and fake usernames to create a buzz about HIM with his posts, then created another forum, wanting to charge members $500 a head.

He was kicked out of Kiss because he would go on silly guitar solo rampages on stage and wouldn't stop when the band hated it, he refused to listen an march to the beat of his own drum. He ruined every opportunity ever given to him, he blew money given to him for deals, then tried to renegotiate after being broke and having no material because he pissed off everyone who worked with him. The dude is nuttier than squirrel turds.. He even tried to launch his own signature guitars - $12,000 a pop. It never happened.
