Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent arrested...


Recommended Posts

...on domestic violence charges over the weekend. His mugshot is the first public photo of Vinnie released since 2004. (hopefully the last as well....pan down)

 

According to TMZ.com, former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent (real name Vincent Cusano) allegedly hit his wife in the face and dragged her through a pile of broken glass on the night he was arrested.

 

The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee tells TMZ.com that Vincent's wife, Diane, arrived to the Sheriff's Office on Sunday (May 22) "covered in blood" and smelling of alcohol.

 

Cops say Diane told the officers how she had just escaped from the couple's home after Vincent "smacked her in the face" following an argument about a "female subject [Vincent] was talking to."

 

Diane explained, "Vincent dragged her through a pile of glass from a broken plate that had been on the floor since before the argument started."

 

Read more from TMZ.com.

 

Vincent replaced lead guitarist Ace Frehley in 1982 and played with KISS for two years. He left the group on bad terms, and later claimed KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley owed him royalties for his work on KISS' 1983 album "Lick It Up", according to the Courthouse News Service. However, a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled against him and awarded the KISS defendants about $66,400 in attorney's fees and $15,400 in costs.

 

Last June, Vincent lost his 6th Circuit appeal of an order barring him from seeking bankruptcy protection from paying more than $81,000 to his former bandmates.

 

In January, Vincent, in association with Guitarmageddon Guitars, unveiled the official Vinnie Vincent model guitar at the NAMM convention.

found this from another forum, someone commented the case:

 

Many rumors speculated that he was living with another woman AS a woman. I was able to see the picture that was taken of him in his yard holding a picture of himself and he had on women's flats, lipstick and seemed to be living "the role." The mugshot obviously shows he/she wearing a wig. The aforementioned "convertible" picture showed him with just about no hair. One strange character for sure.

Piece of garbage had four dead dogs in containers in his apartment also.

Oh dear God, that's disgusting. 062802puke_prv.gif

Weird and double weird...

 

This is beyond weird, imho. Just...out of comprehension.

It said the dogs were killed by another (and way more aggressive) dog. Really weird either way.

 

Dude is seriously damaged. After pissing off Stanley & Simmons the first time in the 80's, they gave him another shot to write in the 90's and he sues them. He's been working on his Guitarmageddon album for 15-20 years.

 

What a waste!

He should have kept his KISS make-up on for the mug shot...

Ok, I can see a ragged Talia Shire or a smacked-out Joyce Dewitt, but I'm gonna have to go McKinzie Phillips on this one. That picture is fantastic.

This is it; this is it.

This is life, the one you get,

so go and have a ball!

This is it; this is it,

straight ahead, and rest assured,

you can't be sure at all.

So, while you're here, enjoy the view;

keep on doing what you do.

Hold on tight; we'll muddle through,

one day at a time, one day at a time!

So, up on your feet; up on your feet;

somewhere there's music playing.

Don't you worry none,

just take it like it comes,

one day at a time, one day at a time,

one day at a time, one day at a time,

one day at a time, one day at a time, one day at a time!

HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS. I've seen some bad mug shots and that's got to be the worst I've seen so far. Man, talk about going from the top of the pile to the bottom.

He can't dig the holes himself? He needs an excavator, but can't seem to procur one because the weather is so bad?? You have rotting dogs in your house, dude.

Whack job.

Yeah... and not only that, but here's a tip Vinnie: Don't smack your old lady around (or whatever went down) to get yourself arrested if you're so "immensely private." And, also, take your make up off before your mugshot and people won't have as much to talk about.

According to reports, she was bloodied too...so pretty strong physical evidence of a conflict. Yeah...don't do that.

Here's the full injury list reported in the Daily News Journal:

 

"The incident report detailed Diane Cusano's injuries, which included small cuts on her forehead, a hematoma on her forehead, a swollen and bruised nose, bruised and swollen right eye, a bruise on her left clavicle, lacerations on her forearm, bruises on her right elbow, bruised and swollen right thumb, laceration to right foot, bruised inner right knee, bruises and what appeared to be puncture wounds to her right calf and left buttocks."
