Dream Warrior VS Love Kills

[Brainsaw]

Probably most people would think A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 made more money than A Nightmare On Elm Street 4. NOPE

All those airings of "Love Kills" video on MTV sure helped to make Nightmare 4 more money at the Box office. I remember friends loving the scene with Vinnie playing his guitar with Freddies glove on.

Great video. So great even beat out Poison "Every Rose" in Metal Edge's best videos of 1988.

Funny, how of all the original Nightmare series.....the one in which Vinnie's song/video promoted it--it was the HIGHEST GROSSING OF ALL.

Nothing like an HOUR SPECIAL on MTV to help promote the movie! MTV gave "Love Kills" alotta play on the network.

Too bad the video and the MTV special weren't included on the BOX SET. Most likely legal complications kept it off..

But I betcha if we asked people's memories which one made the most--they wouldn't have said #4 Vinnie's Nightmare.

are you sick? Love kills is in that film for 8 seconds in the back ground playing from a duke box. The Love Kills video only showed on the Freddy special which wasn't that big of a deal and once on headbangers ball. Vinnie Vincent had not one thing to do with sales of that film. Yes he got my sale because I went because of Love Kills and then I walked out in disgust when it wasn't played in the end credits.

That is the craziest thing I ever read unless its a joke that I missed.

[doublev2]

Also that film was the start of when Nightmare on Elm Street became uncool with the kids. It was still cool for the film before hand.

[doublev2]

dude. VVI and Freddy were like all I thought about at School so don't bring this bullshit to me.

[doublev2]

like i said, they didn't even include it on the dvd box set or the soundtrack cd of the Nightmare on Elm street scores but the did have Dokken.

[doublev2]

for VV on headbangers ball to say that song is the theme song for that nightmare on elm street film sums up the truth levels that vinnie speaks. Its actually the same difference as you saying ASG was flying of the shelves and on MTV and radio all the time.

Brainsaw and VV logic = Love Kills 'theme tune' for Nightmare on Elm Street (but only appears for seconds as back ground music in small scene) And help bring in millions more ticket sales.

Brainsaw and VV logic = ASG major hit - Top 5 of 88 beating Run DMC and Queeensryche (not far behind Prince), when i reality is was very obscure and most metal/ rock fans were not talking about it.

GIVE ME A BREAK PLEASE>

I am surprised VV didn't sue nightmare on elm street for saving the franchise with love kills.

[erg2]

Wow. I think it was by this time that Vinnie had started revealing his true colors and burning any good faith he had. Opportunities like this in a major motion picture could've been a big boost for ASG, but that album was a bust.

Mission Impossible grossed $457.6 million. Who was on the soundtrack? I've no idea.

Brainsaw,
A friendly critique. Instead of providing box office sales information, you should compare soundtrack sales information.
Then your argument would be relevent.

[doublev2]

Yeah kind of but still love kills was playing for seconds in background and dream warriors was closing credit tune. Big difference.

[doublev2]

I am loving kma's posts by the way.

They weren't pushing the soundtrack to the movie, they were pushing ASG

Also, was Dokken's song even on the "soundtrack" album? I don't think so.

Chrysalis did put out a soundtrack with Blondie and other songs but they didn't really promote it. They promoted "All Systems Go".


But it's also funny how Mark placed higher as a vocalist than Don Dokken in Metal Edges 1988 year end poll.

[doublev2]

Show me scans of this poll? Its bs that poll did not exist. Anyone have that poll?

Then, compare the sales of the singles. Don't miss the point disputing the details. It's your argument. If you want to compare the popularity of the songs, then do it directly. It's a more effective argument.

Also polls are bandwagon thinking. Vannilla Ice was popular in the eighties. Mass amounts of people can be wrong. I'm not disputing Mark's talent. Just the notion you have that popularity makes something correct. It's fallacious.

Here's my evidence:



"A Bandwagon Fallacy is when a statement is assumed to be logically valid because of popular support."

Pick up a Critical Thinking textbook or Read "The bologna test kit" if you don't believe me.

What were they wrong about? That they liked Vanilla Ice? That they ran out to buy his cd?

Maybe you'd like to take away KISS People's Choice Award ....

...Maybe you'd like to take away KISS People's Choice Award ....

Yes I would. Simply because I can do without "Beth ".

[KissMyAss]

I didn't make up the popularity fallacy, also known as the bandwagon fallacy. It's critical thinking 101. http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/bandwagon
Mass amounts of people can be wrong about ANYTHING. I'm explaining why popularity polls do not support logic.

The majority used to agree on the ptolemaic universe.
