Vinnie Vincent Selling $2M New Album 'Guitarmageddon'

Skip to ContentNewsEx-KISS Guitarist Vinnie Vincent Selling New Album For $2 MillionBy Chris DeVille5:26 PM EDT on March 16, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyThe new Vinnie Vincent album will cost you $2 million. Vincent was a guitarist in KISS from 1982 to 1984, which means he was part of the band when they took off their makeup and costumes for the first time. He's played with a bunch of other artists over the years too, but he's also led his own band, the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Their first album since 1996, Guitarmageddon, is available for purchase via Vincent's website for a mere $2,000,000.That's pretty expensive, so some of you may be thinking you have a workaround: You'll simply buy each track individually for the standard iTunes rate, thereby sidestepping the seven-digit price point. That's not going to work for you; each of the 10 tracks, such as "HEAVY METAL POONTANG" and "COCKTEAZER," can be acquired as a digital file on a thumb drive for $200,000. You may say that's outrageous, but it's just math. If you wanted to avoid spending so many dollars to hear new Vinnie Vincent songs, you should have jumped at the opportunity to buy lead single "RIDE THE SERPENT" for a mere $300. The price of the brick going up.The good news is that if you do buy Guitarmageddon, you're also buying the right to distribute the music, pending Vincert's approval of your marketing plan. Though he hasn't specified that there is only one copy of the album, his language around the release suggests this situation is on par with Wu-Tang Clan's one-of-a-kind Once Upon A Time In Shaolin."If the buyer wishes to purchase any associated rights in the compositions, a separate agreement can be arranged and negotiated," Vincent explains in a statement. "The price will also include a perpetual license to use the brand name, ‘Vinnie Vincent Invasion’ and ‘Vinnie Vincent’ for the life of the album."If any of you has Martin Shkreli's number, Vinnie Vincent would presumably love to get him on the line.Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyChris DeVille@chrisdevilleRead More:KISS,Vinnie VincentGET THE STEREOGUM DIGESTThe week's most important music stories and least important music memes.EmailSign upMore from NewsExplore NewsNewsUS Vinyl Sales Surpass $1 Billion For The First Time Since 1983March 16, 2026NewsWet Leg Will Be Saturday Night Live UK‘s First Musical GuestMarch 16, 2026NewsIron Lung, Tørsö, & Apartment 213 Drop Off CY Fest Amid Boycott CallMarch 16, 2026NewsJust Like Heaven Reveals 2026 Lineup Topped By The Strokes & LCD SoundsystemMarch 16, 2026NewsJames Hetfield Got Engaged UnderwaterMarch 16, 2026NewsSt. Vincent Joins Alanis Morissette & Norah Jones At SXSWMarch 16, 2026
