Episode 29: Vinnie Vincent
from The Rock and Metal Profs Hosted by Matt Alschbach & Court Lewis
Vinnie Vincent has the distinction of being one of the most beloved, reviled and criticized rock artists of the last 40 years. When he hit the Los Angeles scene he had modest success writing and performing musical scores for TV shows. Hired by KISS to replace founding guitarist Ace Frehley in the early-80s, fans were ecstatic with the new musical direction and more complex guitar arrangements. Much to the chagrin of KISS fans, Vincent's time in KISS came to an abrupt end as quickly as it started. Subsequently, VV became an enigma and quite reclusive until he resurfaced in the 2020s. The Profs investigate what happened and why, as well as Vinnie's legacy in the band.
