Is Vinnie Vincent a Transgender?

Just for fun and without context, I showed my wife that pic of Vinnie (who she wouldn't know either way) and asked her, "Quick, is this a woman or a man?" She said "Well, it looks like a woman, but if you're asking me, it's probably a man."

If Vinnie want to be Victoria, alright. None of my business.

And that Repulsion dude is hot.

Man this is the first time i hear about that repulsion dude.

We live in an interesting world.

It sure looks like Vinnie is. But if that's what he/she wants, so be it. It's his life. And without knowing, I'd never guess that the Repulsion woman was once a man.

Didn't notice the heel shoes until I saw this pic.

He's always worn heels. He's worn heels in public since the 70s...he's short.

He or she?

Oh my god

Whichever, he really let himself go.

I thought the reason he has stayed gone is because he is a severe alcoholic, which I think his unfortunately now deceased wife/girlfriend was and what she died from.

If he's smart, he won't talk publicly about any of this and reveal all in a tell-all book so he can cash-in on his notoriety.

I'm surprised he doesn't like his second album. That was his best one by far IMHO and had some great songs on it. I'd be surprised if it didn't sell more too.

I agree, second album was tops. haven't heard it in years I had it on cassette way back when.

That probably has more to do with he and Mark Slaughter not liking each other.

Cat fight?

I always thought the first album was much better, beside that drawn out, annoying ending to Invasion, an otherwise excellent song.

What I find even more bizarre is that Hizaki is a dude and apparently NOT transgender!

Yeah, make sense. For some it's hard to separate the art from the artist. Or the music brings back feelings of bad times in his life so it's hard to overlook that.

Y' know, I saw the pic of him and Eddie Trunk on sleazeroxx and thought, "he just doesn't look ...right."

I think he's androgynous like that character from SNL (It's Pat).

I met Vinnie at a Kiss Expo in New Jersey in 1995. I remember even then, overhearing one of the security guys saying "Yo, he look like a woman."

He's always looked feminine. This is nothing new. He's just older and fatter now.

Yep, s'what I'm sayin'. He looks pretty much the same as he always did, just with 20+ added years and at least that many added pounds.

None of which explains the ladies pant suit. There is nothing glam rock about a ladies pant suit.

I have no massive interest either way and I think that he just wanted to talk about the old days with some fans which is absolutely fair enough, his personal stuff is obviously personal.

If you watch the performance with Fleischman, he's got breasts now. Not fat-guy breasts, but boobs-in-a-bra breasts.

Jump to 17:15 and watch when Vinnie hugs Rob.



That's a female breast. I don't think there's any question as to what's happened here. Vinnie is now a woman.

The buttons are on the man's side of the jacket, no? On a women's jacket, the buttons would be on the other side. It's just tight and ill-fitting and he's fat. Add in his facial characteristics and the heeled boots (which he has always worn) and suddenly it's a "ladies pant suit".
