One-time Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent has found himself in hot water. According to the TMZ website, it has been reported that on May 22nd, Vincent "allegedly smacked his wife in the face and dragged her through a pile of broken glass on the night he was arrested ... and when cops arrived to the house, they found 4 dead dogs at the scene ... this according to law enforcement."
But the report gets even wackier and creepier, when police found "four sealed containers containing deceased dogs" after being dispatched to Vincent's Nashville house. According to a TV news video from WKRN-TV in Nashville, Vincent was charged with aggravated domestic assault, and is now out on bond.
Vincent (real name: Vinnie Cusano) is best known for being the guitarist in Kiss for a spell during the early '80s, playing (initially uncredited) on 1982's Creatures of the Night and (credited) on 1983's Lick It Up. After leaving the group in 1984, he went on to form one of the more over-the-top glam metal bands of the '80s, the Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
The Vinnie Vincent Invasion - which included two eventual members of Slaughter - was responsible for one of the most awesome music videos ever (especially its action-packed, pyro-heavy ending), "Boyz Are Gonna Rock."
