First time I seen him play with KISS, a string broke on his pink Jackson in the middle of his solo and he angrily flung it off stage. Best guitar solo I ever seen.

Love that violin/chello sound he made.

VV played guitar like was an adrenaline rush, he could even slow it down and calmly explain what he is playing, i don't know what is scarier what he is playing, or the fact he knows what he is doing !he plays some seriously blazing runs and has molments like this solo that really shine. Euphoria has some great ax werk

Despite him being a bit over the top sometimes he's a seriously underrated guitarist.

He has a very good control of the instrument. I love how he incorporated a violin sounding volume swells in the shred.. Something I seldom hear in shreds. Also good control of the whammy bar. He is the most Thrash Metal guitar player in Kiss. I think they chose him that time because 80s is all about fast guitar solos..

Vinnie Vincent's approach to guitar solos = victory!

Vinnie has his moments when he sounds awesome but then he goes off the rails and spins out of control. His playing style is almost schizophrenic It’s a mixed bag of wonderful and awful.

This guy can do it in his slumber. What a talent.

Never been able to hear anyone play a guitar with that tone since Vinnie! After many years of search searching, the only person that comes close is a electric violinist called Mark Wood!

Vinnie is like if Prince and Nigel Tufnel had a baby. I absolutely love HER

He's massively underappreciated, a splendid songwriter, and an insecure, but massively good guitarist

ONE THE MOST UNDERRATED GUITAR PLAYER.

Nobody plays like this. Not even close. And on top of that, he wrote this amazing tune.

Damn...that "guy" could freaking play !!!!

Awesome shred with some moments of frustration. A band like kiss should've been able to tolerate these moments in a song like this & backed him up. I know for a fact Eric would've loved it! Anything goes in rock n roll, give'em his moment. Remember, one for all & all for one.👍

I actually saw Vinnie with Kiss, unlike a lot of people on youtube...but although I'm a huge Ace fan..he was a fantastic guitarist who influenced many players, without being super techni6like say Eddie Van Halen. Vinnie on the other hand played pop and rock before moving on to hard rock and metal. His style is a shredding style that came to it's for in the 1980's ..I saw him in 1983. Hes actually a great guitarist and could have been up there with Randy Rhoads ...Rhoads copied Schenker and Van Halen ( Eddie didn't like Rhoads style but said he was decent enough player). The problem Vinnie had was although he could play technical solos like Rhoads and Van Halen amongst other stuff, he tended to go a little overboard. You could argue this was the style at the time as other guitarists did the same. Yes I agree. He also was hard to get along with ( tell me of a guitarist who isn't?) All in all if he was in a band with more personal lyrics style and better singer than his Vinnie Vincent's Invasion band I think he would be talked about in a higher regard.

Amazing Vinnie Vincent ❤ I think really'bout Vinnie Vincent is an underated artist...fantastic guitar player and great performer ❤

i actually cant tell you how much i love this video and the little glances up are so cute

I could listen to him shred all day

That is a strange definition of beautiful.

He perfectly fits that guitar, a wild and random playing style.

Vinnie es el mejor así sea extremo todo lo que hace es perfecto

He’s mastered the fretboard damn !

JUST AWESOME

El mejor guitarrista que tubo kiss

Vinnie cant be beat.

He’s miming all the ASG solos on that tape. He does play the VVI album ones live. That is the extended original solo to Ashes to Ashes that got cut in half before release. He’s miming it.

he is amazing and so effortless shred or not its emotional.

One of top Shredder 🎸🎸🎸

I always loved his style of playing - it's super effortless and always on the edge of being a little bit to chaotic and over the top but it always stays just below that threshold and still sounds kickass somehow... if that makes any sense.

C'on his AWESOME!

This is a very memorable guitar solo

Vinnie is the love child of evh and yngwie.

Wtf, awesome axe work. Reading some other comments made me reflect. Vinnie reminds me in a way of Peter Green, Syd Barrett and Danny Kirwin. Great talents who couldn't cope with pressure of their own talent. All major influences on my own guitar style, along with so many more.

One of my favourite ax slingers

My 2nd favourite guitarist after Yngwie Malmsteen

It's all about shredding, but it's so pretty solo, first part sounds romantic. I think, if solo will be rearranged from hundreds of 32 notes and shred will be used only for culmination, it will be awesome 😍

Mr. Vincent. U R. The Best dam Mother Fuckin Guitarest God has ever Made.👍👍👍👍 Congratulations Sierra.

One of Amazing 80's Shredder Guitarist 🎸🎸🎸 #vinnievincent #invasion #kiss

He played the guitar like he hated it… wild, aggressive, out of control… and it was wonderful. ❤️

..wow.. :)

He’s great!

After hearing his early solo stuff he will never sound over the top to me, incredible singer and songwriter. I hear the beauty even in his shredfests now, kinda like Shawn Lane in his melodic and musical depth that allows it to still shine through even when shredding.

increible❤

He knew 50% of the time, how to make his guitar playing compliment the song. Trying to blaze through everythng, no matter what made sense for the song.

Vinnie is Vinnete now. Who would have thought.

brilliant musician.

The most impressive part of vinnies playing , to me, and the part most people never comment about or miss, is his right hand technique. Ive neber seen another rock player utilise such a fully integrated chickin pickin technique before or since.

Wow!

Nice!Never knew Vinny was that great of a guitarist!🏆Just never noticed.Great attitude,approach,technique.

IT is COMPLEATLY IMPOSSIBLE to play guitar better than MR. VINNIE VENCENT. Best guitarest in the hole wide world. NO ONE plays better than MR. VINCENT . NO ONE.

Wow….lots of spreed and talent!!! Jimmy D

It's so hot when he looks into the camera and smiles while playing.

My favorite parts is when he goes off the rails. We’ve all heard tapping patterns. But the wild bends etc is what I’m here for.

❤

Excellent guitarist

I think I got a cavity listening to that

Amo este solo

What's nuts is I grew up knowing of Vinnie but had no idea until now that he was this big of a shredded. What the hell was he ever doing in Kiss?

Oh Vinnie😵

So good, why don't people pay attention?

THE BEST

es un geñio❤

Some of that is his Ashes to Ashes solo

That actually did have some melodic sections that were quite beautiful, then all the shredding kicked, and I love shred as much as any metal head, but I would've liked to have heard a little more of the melodic stuff.

Makes me want play guitar 🎸 hero ❤

GREASED LIGHTNING!

Best guitar in the world

Good player.🤟🎭💯

I love the album version of the solo for Ashes to Ashes.

he is a grannie now

what a beast

Fucking amazing

Vinnie looks like the guitar that Steve Vai looks like he bangs while on stage. But my god the man has FUN while playing!

Muy bien, es con ritmo de blues en Si; observen los cambios, traten de seguirme, ¿De acuerdo?

VINNIE!!!!

yeah I could do that in my sleep...when I dream

I saw Kiss on the Dressed To Kill tour in NY when I was 17. Just before Alive 1 came out. They kicked ass. I saw Vinnie with Kiss in the early 80s. I never heard of him at the time. I thought he was alright. Even though he was no Ace Frehley on guitar. Ace had feel. Vinnie was all flash. But he was ok on guitar that night. I think people are a little hard on him after all these decades. I never got to see Kiss with Bruce or Tommy. But from the videos, Bruce was good. Tommy? I'm sure he's a good player but....Remember this people. Nobody played Ace licks like Ace. Just put on the first three albums again. frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan

He looked like he was having serious fun making this little video. Too bad he let himself go. He was as amazing guitarist and if it were not for his ego, he could have become a legend. He fit with KISS like an elephant fits in a hamster cage. VV Invasion had great potential. but Vinnie was his own worst enemy.

Winnie Wincent!

This chick’s pretty good

Intense play and this is just in a small studio workshop

Yow!!

50 to 60 seconds. How do you go from that intensity to making your guitar sound like a cello? Reason I started playing when I heard my older brothers version of thier debut album. And then I heard randy rhoads and I was all in

Easily on the level of all the top shredders. At that time. Now. Idk maybe if he worked hard

Vinnie es la verdadera alma de Kiss.

Vinnie Vincent is controlled chaos

Tremenda tecnica tenía.

*Why is Vinnie Vincent not in memory as Randy Rhoads made a career like Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai or Inwie Malmstein... What was his mistake, if he is so virtuous???*

Some Brad Gillis crickets there . You guys stop trying to get him to sit on your lap !! Thats a guitarist man.

k animal❤

I never knew he could...kinda, pull off stuff like that. Some of it was truly cool and ripping. Most of it didn't fit and sounded like that brown wet stuff. I can see why Kiss wanted him, he probably seemed moldable and that's what Gene and Paul wanted instead of Jack Daniels Frehley. If he'd have cleaned up his style a bit, he'd probably have went further, even though he's went further and higher than most.

Vinnie Vincent the ultimate shredder guitar player there's times when he sounds like one of the best hard rock guitar players around then there's other times when he plays something that's just uncalled for and comes out of left field, very very talented but sometimes he just needs to slow it down sum.

ßi m dicen k m dan a vinnie m le llévo sin dudarlo

if this is the best and more beautiful ... i dont wanna hear the others bro....

Very interesting. Never saw a close up of his fingers before and he’s got the same problem with his pinky that I do. It fans out way farther from the other fingers. He’s obviously trained it to work for him instead of against him, but mine still just hangs out there barely useful.

The dive bomb near the end starts diving before he touches the bar. I suspected this clip was fake but that sealed it

It's funny all the nice comments here. I have most of this instructional video up & all the comments are it sounds like noise ect. I think this is an overdub.
