Through all of the muck- we forgot to celebrate---

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the release of Vinnie Vincent Invasion's first album, titled "Vinnie Vincent Invasion"

Doubt I'll forget getting this in Aug. of '86. Somehow just knew it would be great. Just a great record. I think the record sounded even better than when transferred to CD!!

Wow, I was in the 9th grade... anticipated this release way more than anything by Peter, Ace or Mark at the time... or anything by KISS come to think of it. If he wouldve left out the shredding solos on No Substitute and Back on the Streets, it wouldve been perfect. I remember looking at the back of the LP and thinking Robert was the drummer and Bobby was the singer! I mean cmon, the dude looks like Paul Stanley on steroids... so naturally he was the vocalist!

I know. He proved he could shred on all the other songs. A couple of nice, melodic solos would've been nice to mix things up a bit.

I remember blasting the cassette as loud as my pioneer speakers in the back window of my Mustang II would go!! This album was SO different than anything else that had come out. Melodic, pop shredding with great musicianship!

I can't help but think this album would've gotten more push if the whole Fleischman/Slaughter switcheroo and Fleischman lawsuit hadn't happened. It kinda killed the promotional push. I think back then a lot of non-KISS and non-VV people would've caught onto songs like DO YA WANNA MAKE LOVE and NO SUBSTITUTE.

Good point, I believe some important PROMOTIONAL MONEY was used in the court room instead of on VVI promotion.

I do believe the album to be PERFECT . Every single note is where it should be .

funnily enough-or sadly enough-at time Vinnie delivered everything- and even more- that he did promise to in his announcements.

Still curious to know why people like Adam Mitchell thought that Vinnie could be much better than that,playng wise.I mean, i understood his point of view, would have liked to hear other aspects of Vinnie playng, the one his collagues and friends were so much talking about, comparing it to Jeff Beck's.

All Systems Go had the more melodic solos with harmony, VVI had the frenzied wailing. The contrast is cool.

Random question for you, my friend..
I ask this with respect, because I'm the same way..
Does anyone ever look at you like you're crazy

If so, we have the same problem. We're too kool for this decade.

Mainly Kevin "wormfood" Dubrow .

You love Frankie now?

Rick doesn't like Quiet Riot??

Why ?

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:59 am

I said "MAINLY". Frankie just knew how his bread was buttered but yep, He's a dick as well. Sarzo talked way too much about Whitesnake, Cavazo is cool.

I worked for them briefly about ten years ago. Dubrow was one of the biggest assholes you can meet. He just learned to keep it out of the press. TOO LITTLE , TOO LATE !!!

It really does break my heart that Vinnie was rumored to be just as bad when he toured.
Reading that old interview with the VVI tech was an eye opener. The tech was a druggie ,so, I will give Vinnie the benefit of the doubt in that case.

asg to me is the best over all groove and power house playing with killer melodic solos.
