Vinnie Vincent is not having a good day

[DonP]

Eddie Trunk played boys gonna rock on his Sirius show tonight. Haven't heard it in years. I know the speculation at the time was that he sped up his leads- listening now as an adult rather than a kid..... It ain't speculation.

That would be a good comedy skit- beating his wife in super fast motion. Or maybe I have something wrong with me. But the shit is still sped up.

Hey, did you hear me on the radio? I work in the neighborhood and told Eddie I'd try to track down Vinnie to get an update. Of course I don't have the first clue as to how to do that, but I know with you guys helping me we can track him down

As for my part, I'm not a fan boy or anything but just curious how this story goes. I do appreciate Vinnie's use of Jacksons and supporting the brand.

So if anyone can help me track down Vinnie, just tell me where to go. I've got a rental car and the company pays for the gas. I'll do the leg work if you tell me where to go

his leads may have led me to even more drug use back in the day. some painful shit going on in those tunes.

That's a mug shot of him? Looks like a crackwhore

The dead dogs are used for mojo on his new VV guitars that are soon to be released.

Mark St John would never behave like this.

Even Ace Frehley would never behave like that!

it's a creepy fuckin' story. honestly, i think the dogs did themselves in after hearing him practice,
that's my guess, he couldn't possibly be that cruel to do that to those dogs. it was suicide
from excessive horrible untasteful notes crammed and sped up to unlistenable levels.
i don't know how his wife can take it.

Guys, for all I know I might shop at the Walmart or Target right next to this guy. I work in LaVergne, stay in hotels and apartments in Smyrna, and shop for guitars in Murfreesboro. Each website I read claims he's from there town. I read he's from Smyrna, Shelbyville, and Murfreesboro. It sounds like Murfreesboro brought him in from what I read.

If someone can track down an address, I can knock on his door (avoiding bullets) or put something in the mailbox telling him to check in here or on Eddie Trunk.

Hey, I've been in Smyrna and Murfeesboro before. I cannot remember why, however. :think:

Don, everything I've read about him in the last couple of years suggests he leads a recluse/shut-in lifestyle. IMO the dude is crazier than a Randy Quaid/Gary Busey lovechild.

I thought he was selling his brand of guitars at NAMM.... ???????

did gary busey go crazy too??

[charvelguy]

Jake Busey was at Namm 2011 too... I did walk by that booth with the double V, (couple times) thought about stopping and went,...nah. I did not see anyone looking like VV there - the booth traffic looked slow.

This story is .. well, sad for all involved it sounds like.

[Vass]

Hah don I didn't hear you I only caught a few min of the show.

Somewhere gene is laughing.

Actually, once you think it's about Vinnie Vincent and this thread is not even in the "Artist and....." forum
Where overdosed long dead old farts and coked/boozed out upcoming players are being discussed

....Well, it can't really get any sadder for VV

They have the best prime rib, but they only make it Friday and Saturday, and I usually leave Friday mornings.

Tonight is my last night here, I leave tomorrow afternoon to hopefully beat the holiday traffic back to Cinci.
