Three Sides of the Coin is a KISS podcast featuring Michael Brandvold, Mitch Lafon and Tommy Sommers.
In this episode, December 18, 2012, we discuss Vinnie Vincent. Did Vinnie Vincent save KISS with his songwriting skills on Creatures of the Night, Lick It Up and Revenge? What mark did he leave on KISS? What about the Vinnie Vincent Invasion?
This is only our opinion… it is neither right or wrong.

Vinnie could write a short thesis on how not to replace the original lead guitar for a successful Mega group.On second thought,It could be included in Tommy Thayer’s book(How I became the Successful lead guitarist of KISS) linear notes under the heading; “what not to do”. During that time period we had to accept Vinnie understanding that Ace was recovering from a car accident.I quickly grew to hate him.I saw Vinnie twice.Never bought any of his stuff outside KISS.When I read about his relationships with Kiss and other people I realize he’s not the most popular kid in the class,His reputation was deserved. It’s too bad “Happy Days” got cancelled Vinnie might still have a job. Wait! there’s hope,…”Happy Days The Next Generation”.Chris
