From what I gather vinnie joined kiss in November 82 just after the euro publicity tour with ace and his last show was in march 84. He left officially a little later . Mark joined in June 84.
So basically vinnies official time in the band was about 16 months plus the time after the last lick it up show which is unclear. He obviously met and worked with then at least 6 months before he joined. But really he was in the band not even a year and a half.. is this correct?

And from the release of vvi album number one until the split was just over two years Aug 86 until Aug 88. Anyone know when the band was formed? I am guessing the four members were confirmed at least 6 months earlier.
