Vinnies first review from COTN US tour 1983

[AlanF]

Kerrang! #41, dated May 5th 1983, detailed review of the KISS show in the US, this was the first review English fans got of the show and Vinnies first 'proper' review. Features the gold Jackson in pics.
Apologies if this has already been shown, and moderators can feel free to move the VV pics to subsequent sections!
Enjoy!

Excellent!

I think Vinnie would throw up in his mouth a little after reading that!!!

Thanks again for these scans, it was such a different world 31 years ago, look how long you waited to "hear" about the US tour. It was almost over by then. Very cool pictures.

yes info was scarce. Even when Kerrang went weekly around 1988 and had a great news section info was still hard to get. and historical facts impossible to put together. it was very hard to know vv had even worn make up in kiss unless you had been around in early 80s. Make shots of vv in the mid to late 80s were very hard to come bye and i would guess lots of kiss fans had no idea vv ever wore make up.

Glad to be of service.
This is a very friendly forum, its the VERY least I could do.

Yes thanks Alan. Love this stuff. I think this info was on one of older forums but lost I believe so great to have it.
