It is no secret that Keith Moon from The Who is one of Vince's biggest idols. Their playing styles are similar and seem to both have that craziness about them. The Who has influenced Vince a lot in his career and contributes to some degree the way he writes his songs. This is only one of many bands that has effected Vince while growing up and becoming what he is today - some of The Who albums that are his favourites are:

Who's Next
Tommy
Sing My Generation

 KISS are also a big fave of Vince's and describes them as the best rock n roll band ever - his fave is Gene Simmons. They also have been a major influence to him throughout his career even more so than The Who. Some of his most favourite records of KISS are:

Dressed To Kill
Alive 1
Alive 2
Destroyer
