TMZ is reporting:

Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has sued the band several times since he left the group back in 1984 - but this time he's thrown a cable network into the mix.

Vincent is suing the band, along with A&E Television Networks, for using his image without his permission. According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Vincent claims his image was used in a DVD boxed set called KISSology Volume II. In addition to that, Vincent claims his image image was used as part of the 'roast' episode of A&E's show Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

Vincent also claims Simmons defamed him on an A&E show called Private Sessions, though he doesn't specify what defamatory statements were made.

Vincent is seeking unspecified damages.

it sounds like vinnie has a good case against KISS to me. gene simmons would certainly sue if he were in vinnie's shoes...........i really see nothing wrong with vinnie being given some of gene's marbles, because gene can still survive.

To post #3:
Definitely a sore loser. Ace is better than Vinnie, in my opinion.

Well on Kiss being sued... what can you say... What goes around comes around. So it goes.
They must have "Kiss" and "Metallica" lounges by now in the main LA court house

Chazz: I'd agree that Ace is better at Kiss material, but Vinnie is a pretty accomplished guitarrist. There was some pretty impressive stuff on his Invasion album. Still, there's no disputing that he's an a$$hole either so it is what it is.

Ace was too slow. Vinnie was too fast. Bruce Kulick was just right. Tommy just wears the makeup.

I agree with all of these blgs......but in reality....would it really hurt Gene to just give Vinnie a million dollars, just so it would shut him up....hmmmm.

LMAO! Vinnie's just upset he can't solo in key, anyone would be forgiven for thinking the end of Boys Are Gonna Rock is in the key of A Demolished mode.
