"Soon I will be doing what I love again"
About this Quote
“Soon I will be doing what I love again” lands like a promise, but it’s really a careful piece of stagecraft. Vinnie Vincent isn’t just talking about playing guitar; he’s talking about reentering a story that famously left him out. The key word is “again,” a small hinge that swings the whole sentence from aspiration to reclamation. It assumes a past where the love was active, public, and interrupted - by industry drama, personal retreat, or the bruising churn of rock mythology.
“Soon” does even more work. It’s vague enough to dodge dates, contracts, and the brutal accountability of a comeback announcement, yet specific enough to spark anticipation. That ambiguity is strategic in a music culture that treats returns as content: teasers, sightings, rumors. Vincent’s line feeds that machine without letting it own him. It’s optimism with a lawyerly edge.
The subtext reads as self-defense against the cynicism that greets any long-absent figure: Is this real? Is it a cash grab? By framing the motivation as love rather than legacy, he sidesteps the scoreboard of relevance and recasts the comeback as personal repair. It invites fans to root for the human impulse - making noise, feeling useful, being seen - instead of litigating the past.
In the end, the sentence isn’t grand; it’s deliberate. It asks for patience, offers vulnerability, and reclaims agency in a world that usually writes the narrative for you.
