The Most Interesting Man in the World
Agnostic Front - Book - by Vinnie Stigma
(2024)
The Godfather of New York City hardcore and founding member of Agnostic
Front invites you into his lower east side pad to regale you with tales
from his extraordinary life among mobsters, punk rockers, and a bevy of
iconic artists and personalities—none of whom is as interesting or
fascinating as the inimitable Vinnie Stigma!Born Vincent Capuccio on
December 3, 1955, Vinnie Stigma—as his countless friends and fans
lovingly refer to him—is the founder and guitarist of New York City’s
legendary hardcore band Agnostic Front. He’s also one of the Big Apple’s
earliest punk rockers, having frequented such eclectic downtown haunts
as Max’s Kansas City, The Electric Circus, and of course, CBGB while it
was still known as Hilly’s on the Bowery during the early 1970s. The
Most Interesting Man in the World stretches from Vinnie’s upbringing in
Little Italy amongst the tight-knit Italian families, as well as some
prominent wiseguys, to teaming up with Cuban-born vocalist Roger Miret
to carry punk’s angrier successor across the globe; from no-show jobs in
his youth obtained by people who “protected” him, to lighting up some
of the world’s biggest stages.
However, Vinnie Stigma is not
your run-of-the-mill rocker of many decades. He has dabbled in cooking,
professional wrestling, acting, martial arts, yoga, and other creative
disciplines. He is a father and a cancer survivor who helped pioneer
skinhead and tattoo culture in America, and has mentored hundreds of
fledgling musicians and artists.
Vinnie insists he is an
entertainer first and foremost, which he learned from his childhood
idols Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Lee, and Frank Sinatra. Featuring vintage
photos throughout, a handful of signature Italian recipes, even a
four-page comic book and crossword puzzle, The Most Interesting Man in
the World is a journey through a life unlike any other. No one sees or
experiences the world quite like Vinnie Stigma.
