FORMER KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has told fans he will soon begin charging them US$200 each to be part of his Facebook group.
The seemingly eccentric 71-year-old has been the centre of numerous controversies over the past half-decade, including cancelled comeback concerts and expensive personal appearances, making the latest bizarre episode unsurprising to close followers of the ‘ankh warrior’ character from his time in the iconic band.
“Hey guys. Beginning February 1, 2024 EUPHORIA is changing to a paid membership site,” Vincent wrote on the page. “$200 Annual fee.
“It is a necessity to keep out the riff raff and to insure the safety and integrity of the fan core of this private club.
“There have been several thousand people admitted in the last 3 months and i expect a large number of trolls are lurking. They are in the process of being eliminated.
“Sorry but it must be this way. I hope you understand. Anyone who wishes to stay can make payment at anytime up to February 1.
“Thank you all. Vinnie Vincent.“
Celebrated drummer Carmine Appice told Hot Metal; “He’s doing these gjgs that sucker people that go into see him.
“He’ll buy a Statrocaster guitar for 150 bucks, he’ll sign it and sell it for five grand. People buy it. He’ll get 12 people to one of his events, maybe 10 or 12 people, and they’ll pay 1000 bucks to get in, to meet Vinnie Vincent without makeup.”
