It's been 38 long years since All Systems Go hit the streets, but not the charts, on fire!

What a waste of a great album that only a few got to appreciate, even though Vinnie disowns it, which I think is wrong.

Everyone did a great job and I can't imagine those songs any other way. It's that production, Mark's vocals, and the music that makes it magic.

Markedly different (see what I did there?) than the first album yes, but still fantastic in it's own right as a totally different album, with a new singer, and an album that really could have been massive with the right push, from both the band and the record company.

Sadly we know they imploded mid-tour, thanks for that Vinnie, so it remains a footnote in rock history, but one that we can celebrate nonetheless.

Hears to ASG!!!!

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" didn't come out in 1991. That album is the true continuation of Vinnie's vision.

I wish all the time Vinnie has spent in Nashville studios the last few years, he would have re-recorded ASG and then sent the tapes off to Robert to add the vocals. Granted, Robert doesn't have the pipes he had, but it would still sound better than Mark.
