Weird thing here. I posted it years ago on the Pyro board

[youtube][/youtube]

at 2.19 you see a guy back stage trying to catch John Norum's attention, Its Ace Frehley showing him a pic of Vinnie Vincent.
This was at a Frehley's Comet gig in London in 1988 where Norum was the opening act. Watch from 2.17 through until the end of the solo

Here's a screen shot. I believe I have this show on video (minus Norum's performance). I think the video I have has Ace video taping himself and the rest of Frehley's Comet in the hotel, the drive to the venue, plus a photo shoot.

i think ace played snowblind which was cool.

Goran was good but I couldn't see him in VVI for some reason.

It looks like Ace made a Vinnie T-shirt.

Never ever ! He hate Vinnie

I think its from a publicity shot hidden in his shirt. Ace said on record that he liked vvi in the 80s

He has no reason to hate Vinnie other than Vinnie signing his name over Ace's face when someone wanted his autograph.

They had the same manager.

That's right, they were under the same management for a time in the 80's.

Ace obviously respected VV enough to use bots. If Frehley's Comet had come out on time a year earlier it would have been an Ace tune. Vinnie beat him to it.

George Sewitt??

Yes- Sewitt.

no idea, didn't care. I think Robert said VV's manager was a reason why he didn't sign his contract. I think it was him that fucked up the Robert thing, unless someone else can tell me differently.

George Sewitt was Kiss' road manager for the 1980 Australian tour.. I wonder how he got connected to Vinnie??

Sewitt was also the manager of Ace, and i'f i'm correct, peter before the reunion.I think he was the one who also suggested "dancing with danger" to ace.It seeemed also that Sewitt was not treating both A&P correctly- but this comes form Gene, so who knows it.Funnily enough, according to what it has been know, Sewitt wanted Robert to sign a contract similar to the one G&P submit to Vinnie a few years earlier,hence the rift between him and Vinnie and his departure from the band.

I'm happy Ace didn't record officially BOS.Ritchie Scarlett's voice is not of my liking.Originally, Ace wanted John Waite to be his singer, but Waite turned him down.

the singing in the Ace version was so so bad

Vinnie's version is great!

Well I guess that answers my question about whether it was Goran in the promo video of the song! By the look of the Goran's hair here, it IS him in the promo not a guy lip syncing along!!!

I thought it said that there was a different singer on the Wiki page.
