VINNIE VINCENT: Trailer For Signature-Model Guitar Available
May 11, 2010A trailer for the official Vinnie Vincent (KISS, VINNIE VINCENT'S INVASION) signature-model guitar, commissioned by Tom Palecki of AZG and Pear Guitars for Vinnie Vincent, can be viewed at this location.
Vinnie Vincent last year sued KISS, along with A&E Television Networks, for using his image without his permission. According to TMZ.com, Vincent claimed in the August 2009 lawsuit that his image was used in a DVD boxed set called "Kissology: Volume 2 1978-1992". In addition, Vincent claimed his image was used as part of the "roast" episode of A&E's show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", the "reality"-TV program featuring KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons and his family. Vincent also claimed Simmons defamed him on an A&E show called "Private Sessions", though he didn't specify what defamatory statements were made.
Vincent, whose real name is Vincent Cusano, played with KISS from 1982 to 1984, co-writing "I Love it Loud", "Lick it Up" and other songs.
Back in October 2006, Vincent lost a Supreme Court appeal in a dispute over royalties with his former KISS bandmates. (See Vincent's petition in PDF format at this location.)
Justices declined to consider lower court rulings dismissing Vincent's claim that he is owed royalties for his contributions to the band's 1983 album "Lick It Up".
