[rokk]

I found this on Blabbermouth...

I think it would be pretty cool!

SplitScreen Entertainment has revealed the cover art for its upcoming tribute album "Kiss My Ankh: A Tribute To Vinnie Vincent". The official release date, full track listing and complete artist roster will be unveiled on August 6.

Artists confirmed so far include Steve Brown (TRIXTER, STEREO FALLOUT), whose acoustic rendition of the Paul Stanley/Vinnie Vincent composition "A Million To One" recently premiered on Eddie Trunk's nationally syndicated "Friday Night Rocks" radio program. Also appearing on the tribute are former ADLER'S APPETITE vocalist Sheldon Tarsha, former ALICE COOPER guitarist Ryan Roxie, former ALTARIA bassist Marko Pukkila and current WHITE LION drummer Troy Patrick Farrell, who have collaborated on a new recording of the VINNIE VINCENT INVASION power ballad "That Time of Year". Additional contributors include guitarist Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), guitarist/keyboardist Paul LaPlaca (ZANDELLE, Z02, CHRIS CAFFERY) and drummer Dennis Leeflang (SUN CAGED, EPICA, BUMBLEFOOT), who will offer up a dark interpretation of the foreboding KISS track "Unholy". Also confirmed is a new recording of the VINNIE VINCENT INVASION anthem "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" by Mike Weeks, guitarist on the most recent solo album by original INVASION vocalist Robert Fleischman, along with former NITRO bassist T.J. Racer and drummer Andre LaBelle, who appeared alongside Fleischman on the unreleased third VINNIE VINCENT album "Guitars from Hell".

Though Vinnie Vincent himself has not released any new material in over a decade, "Kiss My Ankh" will pay tribute to the undeniable musical legacy of the former KISS guitarist. Vinnie's compositions are widely regarded as a highlight of the KISS catalog and remain a staple of the live KISS set list. Included on the tribute will be selections from the three KISS albums to which Vinnie contributed, as well as the two albums he released with the VINNIE VINCENT INVASION.

Why not have a bunch of musicians who are introduced as "a former member of... (fill in the blank)" to do a tribute to a "former member of KISS"

Even though I am a fan of KISS, even I have to admit that Vinnie Vincent is nothing more than a footnote in the band's history and hardly deserving of a tribute album.
By the way, I could have made a better album cover than that piece of crap in ten minutes.

Not a big fan of Vinnie's....
He's so overarted I think. Kulick is the guitarist I think of
when it comes to the non-make up era.
Vinnie fucked himself/it's self out of a great gig...

Vinnie's an awesome songwriter but a fucking piece of shit guitarist. I'm a massive fan of Creatures of the Night and Lick it Up. I also have both VVI albums. Awesome songs, shit guitar playing.

Bruce Kulick and even Mark St John deserve more credit than Vincent.

Also... there's rumours going around KISS circles about Vinnies AHEM..... Gender? Some people i know beleive he's had a sex change and is working as a prostitite. I've heard this numerous times over the years, but nobody really knows what VV's doing at all anymore do they? he hasn't done an album for 20 years.

What a letdown to me... I was hoping this was something about Nile.

It's a well-known fact that Paul Stanley had to manage this album alone and was battling to make the guitaring not sound like an angry bee.
