Its a shame they didn't make the list in 1990 or 1991

I love Norum's version. Goran is fantastic and it had a great video... man, I still want to punch that old pawn shop guy in the face! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ace's is unlistenable.

The studio version with Frehley's Comet they did it way too slow. Richie did it better live.

If only Vinnie had ...

It is crazy that Skull "No Bones About It" was recorded before Paul even started out on his solo tour. Bob Kulick tried to convince Paul to hire Bobby Rock for Paul's solo band. It sucked we didn't get to see that. Eric Singer sucks compared to Bobby. It's also too bad $immons Records didn't sign ...

David talks alot about Vinnie, Gene, Paul, Eric (Carr), Ace and MSJ. Its a good interview. If you've got a spare 30 minutes, take a listen.

For all his faults, he is the guy who saved KISS. Not once, but twice. He gave us one of the greatest albums ever (Invasion). It's a shame that same lineup didn't give us the follow up. But after freeing himself from Chrysalis, he was able to produce the rightful follow up to Invasion (that being ...

Only 2 KISS albums make the list (Alive and Destroyer). No solo albums from any KISSer's except The Ankh Warrior.

If KISS had thrown out that 2nd contract for Vinnie (he signed the 1st one) and just kept him on the same deal he signed for COTN, how well would KISS have done in the 80's?

Its clear Mark didn't cut it in the band. Bruce added stability but that's it. Gene was basically AWOL as well from KISS ...

SerpentRider

Wow, Imagine how HUGE! that COULD have been. Especially if John Kalodner was involved. Vinnie could have had Whitesnake 1987 kind of success. The shame of it all.

If only the people at the label had stayed out of his way.

How big could "Ashes To Ashes" have been if they had kept it the lead ...

Hey, maybe VV was right not to sign an 'EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT'

He did sign the employment contract. He signed the original one back in Sept 1982. Gene and Paul have lied for years and years and said he never signed one. Everyone should have known that was a lie. They never would have brought ...

People probably forget, Vinnie had Bobby and the Nelson twins over to his house for BBQ's several times in the early 90's.

I don't know why some of these people act like Vinnie sued everyone. That's moronic. One of the best songs on The Bangles "Everything" cd was a Vinnie co-write and he played ...

SerpentRider

This guy did an amazing job on this video. If Gene and Paul weren't so stupid, this version of KISS could have dominated the 80's.

SerpentRider

I wish they would at least sell an english version even if only via .pdf's But it was nice for a new Vinnie interview even if one had to have it translated.

SerpentRider

So glad you got a copy as well. I would have loved to have seen Paul's face when he opened this one. I bet he shit seeing all the Vinnie stuff in there. Even putting Vinnie on the cover of 2 albums in this set.

I wish they had put a full version of "Betrayed" on there. I wish they had put all 4 ...

SerpentRider

I think its a strong song. Another song written at Diana's house.

"Saint & Sinner" and "War Machine" are probably the 2 best song Gene songs (without Vinnie) written from the 80's forward. Are there any really great Gene songs from the 80's forward other than these 2 that don't have Vinnie in the ...

SerpentRider

As you can see, Vinnie hasn't told his label to "F off" yet. That's why it says Vinnie Vincent Invasion and they didn't add "featuring Mark Slaughter"

"That Time Of Year" was such a great song.

It's easy to see why CreaturesFest was put on sale later this year. If only Vinnie was capable of doing this same show at CF. If only Vinnie could do a show like this for 800 instead of 40-50.

Such a shame Dana & Mark did what they could to sabotage the album. At least Bobby apologized long ago for his part.

"Invasion" will always be remembered as one of the greatest metal albums of all time. "All Systems Go" should have had an aborted launch.

It's just sad the successor to "Invasion ...

I guess its too late to edit the original but here's a screen cap of it. I don't know why the link doesn't work.

So it does indeed say "few left" on the website and if you go further you can add at least 9 or 10 on this $2000000 item to your cart.

Is this even a legitimate sale of the album and it's rights etc, because there should only be one available to purchase.

At the end of the day it's probably not ...

Vinnie just explained the math on his Facebook page:

it's simple math. A hit album of 1 million sales at $20 per CD will generate a label 20,000,000 gross.

their investment of 2 million for the cost of the masters, nets the label $18,000,000. Pure profit. A fact these shit4brains fail to ...

Can you imagine the kind of checks and balances you'd want in place if you actually did this deal with Vinnie?

It sounds like a bottomless pit of legal back and forth - and provenance would tell you its going to be a nightmare to deal with this person.

I do wonder if Vinnie just posts this shit ...

SerpentRider

The other thing to consider, and what has been annoying me of late is that this album really is an unfinished mess, and not quite what should have/would have been released back in the day. He's been messing around with it lately, it has a new drummer on it. What we really want/need are the ...

SerpentRider

I don't think a "finished" vocal exists. All Robert did was go in there to help Vinnie out, and then it all fell apart and no chance to do more, so what Robert did initially is what we get. It sounds fine, we just will never know how much better it might have been. No way Robert could sing like ...

SerpentRider

Mark and Dana have been talking about that biopic since Covid. They acted like it was all set to go back in 2023. I doubt we will ever see it as a biopic. There'd be no demand for that. They are a band out there opening for Great White (without Jack). If they got a documentary, I could see that ...

SerpentRider

I thought it was alright. But after listening to it a few times, I don't know that I will be pulling it out much at all. I don't think it sold that much. He's probably lucky the label put out 3 versions so the "hardcore" would go buy all 3. "I Waited 18 Years For This"?

I also really didn't ...

IF fan support is there? Who says that about a release? Only Vinnie.

I've given up on VV ever doing anything ever again.
Reasons are simple. For one he is old.
2) He has promised shit in the past and never delivered on anything.
3) This 30-year-old revamped Guitars from Hell project has zero POP sensibility. No catchy tunes, production is crap. I mean, for $200 a ...
