Apparently, the option to subsidize your purchase price by releasing the album. \u201c[The price] includes 10 songs mixed in master, final product format, all the master files of the artwork, related posters, and 10 separate vinyl and CD packaging art for each individual song, should the buyer choose to release the album on a per-song basis,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe buyer can choose to release the entire album in any format they desire \u2026 vinyl, CD, or any other configuration, in whole or in part, at their discretion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe caveat, though, is that Vincent maintains the right to approve marketing plans, and the purchaser doesn\u2019t get any rights to his name or likeness. (But those rights are on the table for the right price.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut if the cost of the whole thing is too expensive, Vincent is offering each of the 10 tracks pro rata. So if you wanted to own only, say, \u201cHeavy Metal Poontang\u201d or \u201cCockteazer,\u201d they\u2019re yours for $200,000 each. \u201cAll terms and conditions listed above regarding the album will apply to each song,\u201d Vincent said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tVincent accepts Paypal, and all sales are final. \u201cExpect up to a four-week customs delay in delivery,\u201d the site says, noting, \u201chard drive containing the ten masters will be shipped within two weeks of completion of the purchase.\u201d Apparently, demand is high, because the store on Vincent\u2019s website says there are \u201cfew left\u201d copies of <em>Guitarmageddon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tLast year, Vincent shocked fans by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/kiss-vinnie-vincent-expensive-cd-single-1235491790\/\">selling CD singles of a song called \u201cRide the Serpent\u201d for $225 a pop<\/a>. When fans balked at the price, Vincent shot back at them in Facebook comments. \u201cIf you like what I do, then support the artist,\u201d he said. \u201cYou bitch because it\u2019s one song? This one song is worth more than most entire albums. Consider yourself lucky that it\u2019s only $200, and that it\u2019s autographed yet. It was originally $300, but with the economy suffering as it is, I made it $200. If you don\u2019t like it\u2026 That\u2019s your problem, not mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cRide the Serpent\u201d was Vincent\u2019s first new music since he released an EP, <em>Euphoria<\/em>, in 1996. Around that time, Vincent also started hyping up <em>Guitarmageddon<\/em>. \u201cGUITARMAGEDDON is escapism on steroids,\u201d he wrote to fans. \u201cSo it comes down to this; if the fan support is not there which it does not appear to be, this record will not be released. Am I fine with that? Absolutely. 100%. It will be the greatest album of all time, never to be heard, never to be released.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe musician played uncredited lead guitar on several tracks of Kiss\u2019 1982 album, <em>Creatures of the Night<\/em>, and officially assumed the six-string role for 1983\u2019s <em>Lick It Up <\/em>album. He left the band the following year and embarked on a solo career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tVincent\u2019s $2 million price tag is the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/rza-wanted-to-buy-martin-shkrelis-wu-tang-album-back-for-himself-629887\/\">same amount that Martin Shrkelli paid<\/a> for the Wu-Tang Clan\u2019s <em>Once Upon a Time in Shaolin <\/em>in 2015, but only half what a group called PleasrDAO paid for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/wu-tang-nft-album-once-upon-time-shaolin-1244859\/\">the same record<\/a> in 2021.
