Wouldn't have picked it myself, that's for sure. Kim Fowley was involved but it has the feel of a throw away song.

Seems like Vinnie starts nice before stabbing you in the back.

I could almost hear this as some unused tune from Peter for Dynasty... Vinnie rips it on guitar though.

I don't think it's a terrible song, it's just poorly produced. I think it would've been a GREAT song for Peter on Dynasty or, had he not burnt out, on Unmasked. (I think it has more of the 80's pop sound that Unmasked was shooting for.)

I've heard worse KISS-related songs.

I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

Tommy said he thought the other guy in the band scared vv off. Not sure what he ment, but seems as if he was a wild guy.

Maybe they figured out that he was manipulative liar very quickly and that scared him?

I had forgotten this song!!! By the way, did Ace play on Average Joe-song...what was the name of that, "Eugene"? Or something...
"Extreme disco music life style" :mrgreen: Could be a modern concept too :lol:
