The money must have ran out, It's very odd seeing the stark reality behind the glitter.
Listened to a few good songs in my car from the Lick It Up CD, yesterday - beautiful day -
Anyways, I hope something positive comes fout rom all of this - that someone steps up to help -
after all - he was a member of KISS - that should say something -
get him a book deal maybe -

Dang. Those pix are scary, looks like an episode of "Hoarders" in there

The more I read and discover online about Vinnie, has me shaking my head in disbelief.
I'm sympathetic to his problems, but he has done a lot of damage to his reputation.

He has to realize he has fans that don't want to rip him off or hurt him,
and he should just put some trust in somebody to release music /merch.

Supposedly he has taken advantage of too many, but there are plenty of musicians who have proven it is not too late to repair and repay.

For example, the early years of the MEGADETH fanclub, it was being bounced around and fans were not getting merch, like t-shirts, they sent cheques/money orders for.
Pat from HELLWITCH eventually caught up with Mustaine at a concert years later and told him he was ripped off, and even though Mustaine probably never handled the money/letters that came in, he did give Pat something.

here are some more threads I found -

Yea. And those pics were supposedly "after" shots. Can you imagine the "before"? I've watched enough episodes of Hoarders to know that Vinnie might be suffering some mental issues as well as financial. Sad.

Weird to me that there is a Vinnie Vincent fan forum. I love the dude (as a guitar player), but I can't imagine there are loads of things to talk about, current personal issues notwithstanding.

^^ Rule #34 of the internet states "For everything that exists, there is porn of it on the internet" (i.e. parodies, fan fic, etc.

So it stands to reason that a Rule #35 might be that EVERYBODY in pop culture, no matter how small, has an Internet fan forum devoted to them.

Vinnie Vincent porn? No thank you!

^^ Maybe that's what people post on the V.V. fan forum.
