KISS video play on MTV
Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2024 4:04 am
omg. (nonsense about tours cut out) Crazy Nights had no MTV hits (Crazy crazy nights was a Hugh hit in UK but not USA). I have less memory about MTV in 1986 but I don't remember Tears are falling being played anywhere as much as Hide Your Heart or Forever. It used to annoy me how much Forever was on MTV actually. I wouldn't call Hot in the Shade a failure even though I didn't really like it when it came out.-DoubleV
Remember, never believe anything DoubleV claims! But I'm so happy he wiffed again horribly! I really wonder if he even had MTV in his house in the 80's. I mean how could someone get so much so wrong??! Not only was he horribly wrong about Vinnie Vincent Invasion video airplay on MTV but he also got most of KISS airplay wrong as well.
1) Reason To Live was a huge hit on MTV. 14 weeks in rotation. Kiss' biggest video hit. But keep in mind, Dino "claimed" CN album had ZERO MTV hits, yet RTL was KISS biggest video hit.
2) Dino claimed Tears wasn't played anywhere near as much as Hide Your Heart. Another huge false claim by Dino! Laughable
Not only was it in rotation more (and at a higher level) than Hide Your Heart, but TAF also was on Dial-MTV so much, they had to change the rules for eligibility!
