Hear you, 12/22 throughout the 80's, great time to be young. Us that were young in this era were truly lucky. Today's youth are being cheated big time and they don't even know it.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 yeah it was actually an AWFUL solo. I not hating tho, the song is pretty cool, but that solo was just a scrambled mess of tapping and noise.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 I would bet any of the solos in this album could be put over any of the other songs. Which means they aren't fit to the music.
I think I’ve figured out the secret to Vinnie’s tone on the solo. Amp EQ settings: Bass - 0 Mids - 0 Treble - 10 Gain - 10 Boss DS-1 EQ settings: Level - 10 Gain - 10 Tone: 10 Guitar controls: Volume - 10 Tone - 10 That being said I do have great respect for Vinnie as a songwriter and guitar players.
VV actually has a great tone, maybe if he calmed down a bit... Although in my opinion the solo is by far the best part of the song, it's just incredible
Fully agree VV's tone here is for soem reason lacking in lows and mids and quite harsh sounding, but I also concur on his abilities as a writer and player/soloist .
@@montyrayza7220 OK, not sure if you're to balem, I think its' partly the era. Also me being from Brazil , I recall the vinyl issue of some mid to late 80's stuff form when I was a teen in Junior high/HS, som of those record prolly suffered from a combination of elements. As example I recall Ki''s 'Asylum' which sounds perhaps a bit compresses compared to previous ones, but most notably , they '87 a album 'Crazy Nights', the issue I bought, has an extremely thin vinyl , prolly 100 grams and the sound is very brittle, harsh and lacking in low frequencies, maybe it partly by design that produces wanted more 'clarity' but when using some of these early digital recording machines, I heard some musicians complain gin that when comported to standard analog tape, digital had a hasher high end. but VV' guitar, the Jackson Randy Rhoades, EMG pick ups, it might've contributed to it. Not sure if you agree. Cheers
I remember when I first saw this video. I literally couldn't believe it. I sat there with my mouth open and then later came the laughter. Keep in mind I was in a band not to far from this silliness at the time. This is still my favorite worst video & song I've ever seen.
Guitar solo…..out of time and out of key. You can only pack in so many notes before you get yourself into trouble. Vinnie never played in a melodic style. Good song writer though! I love it loud!!
Love how all the levels on the other instruments drop out during the guitar solo, then all the sudden, BAM! they are back again at the end of it. Vinnie at the control board.
@@cadencejacobs6501 that's good, his next band is called Slaughter.hi name is mark Slaughter, and bassist Dana Strum is in Slaughter. I'm pretty sure they did 2 albums with Vinny.
Just graduated Highschool when this album came out, my favorites are Animal, Shoot U full of love. Time is scary fast. Almost 56 WHERE DOES THE TIME GO 😮😮😮😮. Peace.......

This guy literally burns his guitar down on every single one of the songs on this album! I've never seen anyone light up a guitar like he does. Truly amazing and kinda scary honestly.
When I was a kid, I thought this was so bad ass. I recorded this video on VHS and totally was into it. So I went to buy their tape, but accidentally ended up getting the second album they did! I was so disappointed this song wasn't on it, and honestly, the 2nd album kind of bombed. Still to this day though think this video is so over the top ans awesome haha
WTH did I just watch? I don't even know where to begin? The lyrics, probably the most brilliant lyrics I have ever heard. The outfits...0mg...the coolest. Everything about this classic, timeless gem is on a whole nother level!

They didn't even say to Stop, Drop, Roll, but why nobody put me out is beyond my comprehension other than a smoked sausage commercial. And why on start of vid does Vinnie's guitar 🎸 look like a giant bubble? Musta been another Viacom internship vid shoot...
I agree, Vinnie is a very talented guitarist and songwriter. His Vinnie Vincent Invasion albums are amazing, the band should've stuck together and made more!
According to Mark Slaughter, Vinnie planned to fire Dana Strum at the end of the second tour, and Mark left out of loyalty to Dana. Then the record company offered to give them a deal and cut Vinnie loose.
This was a great album. I bought without any second thoughts! All songs are beautiful! Too much personality for a second position even in Kiss.....the result....? History today......as song writer Vinnie was amazing....❤
Bobby Rock was a pretty darn decent drummer. Saw him give a drum clinic at Guitar Center a bunch of years ago. I didn't know that he was in The Vinnie Vincent Invasion at the time. Now I do.
I remember Bobby playing with Vinnie, then with Nelson. I also remember an interview Mark and Dana did when the first Slaughter album came out and they wished Bobby the best in his career.
Mark Slaughter's Voice is AMAZING & still is‼️When he came out on stage in this video... 😲 WOW ‼️ Sexier than EVER‼️ Beautiful young man in this time and still looking & sounding So good‼️💯
Don't mean to burst your bubble , it was actually Robert Fleischman who sang on this album not Mark . Fleischman left the group after recording the album but before this video and the tour. Cheers .
Robert Fleishman is a great singer but hated his work on this album. He is so much more than a pencil thin screamer. Can't tell if he's trying to copy the guy from Loudness or if that guy was copying this
I knew mark slaughter when he was younger.. always eagerly waiting for music 🎶 class .. was a nice guy👍 and I seen this show in Phoenix Az. With Iron Maiden somewhere in time tour.. got everyone’s autograph at tower records.. those was the days!🤔💭☝️👍
Mark Slaughter is in the video but the real singer was Robert Fleischman (the original Journey singer). Not to say Mark could not sing this song he could but Fleischman deserves the credit he was the singer on this album. 2 of my favorite glam metal 80's releases. We still love you Vinnie!
I gotta call BS on this one. NO WAY Robert Fleischman could have hit those notes. I know Mark Slaughter's voice and that is him singing on the recording.
Yeah they grew on me. The one on Animal is just insane and it's one of the solos on the album with less in-between notes, he hits almost all the right notes on that one.
Vh1 classic amazing Vinnie from Kiss to this while Mark went onto form Slaughter.Nucleus of Super Duper Artists and all the Hair Glam Metal Fix lately all things of the greatest glamorous and glorious gears genre.Vocals, Videos,Drums and Guitar Solos of my class of 85-89 it's that's me
Love it or hate it, that band back then was experimental and writing outside the box. The guitar sound was in your face! So much fun to listen when you were a guitar player. Cool riffs, high pitch singer even higher than skid row. Music was going everywhere back then. It was meant to be that way. Sometimes out of key, sometimes too fast... back on the streets is a good example. Still one of the best solo in that decade.
In retrospect, I absolutely LOVE this guy's guitar solos. I mean, they are as over the top as you can get, and they encapsulate the spirit of the decade to a "T". Decent hooks too.
OK, true, as you maybe also implied, he was perfectly capable of playing a more 'thoughtful'' carefully constructed, paced and melodic guitar solo when he felt like it - but he also a fan of bombastic over the top guitar playing... Examples of the former are IMHO 'Saint and Sinner on 'Creatures..' and 'A Million to One' and 'All Hells Breaking Loose' on 'Lick It Up'.
I'll take this over the music of today. One of the best videos from this album. Bobby Rock's drumming style was tops over anyone today. Even Dana Strum's bass style is far better than anything of today
this video is so over the top!!i love it because it so ridiculous! !the mic solo thing cracks me up!!the faces he makes looks like he's taking a crap!i love it! the boyz are gonna rock!!
@@mikerogers3203 Yeah. How is it possible that this was a good idea. Mark was my guitar teacher abd he got a call from vinniw and left vegas to join this??? He had long straight hair and dark colored. I saw this video months later and I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve heard other guys talk about his playing how it was better before Yngwie hit. Vinnie was supposedly more bluesy/tasty. Then when Yngwie hit, Vinnie was trying to play like that.
@@richard-li1llCompletely wrong. Robert was the original voice of VVI, he recorded the first demos and have writing credits on two songs. Mark was in the band basically as an emergency move, since Robert left due to contractual differences and the band had to start touring very soon. Goran Edman who sang with Malmsteen almost got the gig, but Dana Strum said that he wouldn't work (Lame excuse) then Mark got the gig.
Boy, they sure don't make videos like this anymore...which could be argued as a good thing. I read something recently where Vinnie kept going at a solo for hours in the studio. Apparently he couldn't quite capture the performance envisioned and ultimately threw a hissy fit. He smashed the guitar and then pissed on it...yup....pissed on it. Word is the studio stunk of piss for three days. Vinnie really showed that guitar who was boss.
Forst time seen video vinni was headbangers ball .still have all my cassette s and this 1 still here we r 2023 im still jamming vviv. Metal will never die im 50yrs old crank this shit to max volume liked hum when he was in Kiss short time Take notes ur kids today this is rock
Say what you want about Vinnie, but for me, a child of the 80s, this is one of the most badass, coolest vids I've ever seen. Totally over the top, which is how I Still live my life.
If he had his head on straight, he could have rode the KISS train to become a superstar within that band (like Ace did), as he dragged KISS from the misstep that was "The Elder" (even though it's a 10-star album, it was not the right band, nor the right time to release it) with his heavy-duty tread on "Creatures Of The Night" and then "Lick It Up." If he had just had patience and sense, he would have been party to the mid-80s platinum-selling albums (Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights) and 3 generations of fans would know HIM as their first KISS guitarist, and thus, lionize him.
rogue -- you really think that, eh? Even after Vinnie himself said he was an idiot within the KISS org. Took him 20 years to admit it, but he got it out eventually.
He was an idiot for putting up with Kiss' malarkey for two years and naïvely hoping that a signable contract with fair terms would ever be forthcoming!
rogue -- Wow, a real KISS hater here, folks. Probably under 30, has no job, likes Y&T and Enuff Znuff. Waitaminute, he's defending a douche like Vinnie Vincent - says everything we need to know about him.... Wonder why he even bothers commenting on a real band like KISS... makes him feel connected to the real world; makes him feel credible if he brushes up against other credible artists; makes him feel like he's got a functioning brain if he can type a few words in order and pretend that he knows anything about KISS history.... rogue, you're a real drogue.
Vinnie Vincent needs to come out and play,The Invasion lives in all metal hearts, Vinnie where are you ? The rock n roll world needs a shot of your love., Invasion great great album, made to be played at maximum volume... Invasion worshiper 4 life. EVERY Body keep on rocking
Fleischman was awesome on this album. A few of these songs were a bit out of his range, but he killed it. He goes for it in every song. I wonder if he just lost his voice after this.
Keith Yo I disagree. The record companies did their best to kill it by over saturation and squeezing every dollar out of it in the 80s. Too many bands were signed that shouldn’t have been and when they were, the record companies dressed them all the same and made them sing a ballad on every album. 80s bands all admit this. I loved the 80s, but by the end of it, it just went too far. The spandex, the fluorescent colors, the ridiculous hair and make up all was pushed too much. Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Poison are just 2 bands that went too far with the ridiculous ultra glam look. Fortunately, GNR went a different direction in the late 80s.
@Frank Filthyfinger what do you mean judging by my videos? every song i've played on my channel (except for one) is from the 80s and early 90s. and again, theres so much great music going on right now that gets overlooked partially because of the people saying there's no good music anymore
Fun Fact: Mark Slaughter in this video did NOT sing the album release of this song.....another person did and he left the band before this video was made
I always thought Vinnie was taking out his anger at Gene and Paul in this video. Looking at it now I gotta say this video was way too over the top, but I was 20 when it and the album came out and I loved them both! To me, this album smoked anything he had done with KISS and pretty much everything else KISS did in the 80's. Yes, I'm a KISS fan and have been since the 70's, their best music decade by far, IMO.
Yeah, the first L.P. Invasion; I wore the groves out, Fleishman was a perfect fit though the demos with Vinnie singing sounded even better, less highs to them but I doubt he could hold down all those duties in a three piece as fast as he was playing and without a 2nd guitarist. Not a big fan of the 2nd album though I didn't buy it after seeing the first videos and hearing Mark on vocals, just my opinion.
Damn; I miss the 80s. This was the era to grow up and the era for the best rock music. Those who don't know 80s music, you are missing out on great music. Today's music (if you can call it that) is all crap.
I know the 80's music and was a big fan of bands like Motley Crue, but this is a piece of big garbage, a pile of triseratops shit hahha, why do you like this retarded band? Lol
@@sodica81 I liked Motley Crue; I just wasn't into heavy metal like many of my friends. I was into Pop/Rock. Mark Slaughter replaced the original vocalist Robert Fleischman who sang on this video and on the debut album. Bobby Rock is an awesome drummer; Dana Strum is also an awesome bassist.
Vinnie v this was killer back in the day i got more leg becouse of this album it kills me to see him destroy that san dimas jackson in pink now thats a rare guitar
Have not heard this in years. Got the bus into town and brought it on the day it came out, after waiting in the record shop for the delivery to be unloaded! Got the bus home again and played it.
The vibrato and melodies in the choruses is an interesting idea that could sound amazing in the hands of someone like Steve Vai or Robert Fripp, but my god that solo sounds like the time my college roommate broke his guitar in half when he took a tumble down a flight of stairs as he was playing the 2nd solo from angel of death.
As much as I hated glam-rock at the time (I was into the big 4) I secretly liked this video for it's visual and sonic intensity. What an over the top bunch of rock and roll nonsnense! i love it!!
And this is why Vinnie went into hiding for 20+ years. Whenever I need a laugh, I always think of this video and play it. The menacing look the drummer gives at 3:46 is the best.

So glad I grew up in the 80s. The 80s fucking ruled!
This wasn’t just the best band of the 80s but of all time even better than the Beatles
The greatest decade.
I remember Paul Stanley saying that Vinnies solos just come puking out , that is a pretty accurate description.
Puke is exactly what I am doing after watching this piece of SHITE.
Most guitarists write a solo to fit the song. Vinnie wrote a song to fit his guitar solo.
@@emt5330you're being way too generous. There was zero timing for the song with that solo. Just awful.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 yeah it was actually an AWFUL solo. I not hating tho, the song is pretty cool, but that solo was just a scrambled mess of tapping and noise.
@@vinylholicsanonymous3871 I would bet any of the solos in this album could be put over any of the other songs. Which means they aren't fit to the music.
Yep ...Vinnie managed to fit every single note on the neck into the solo...again...
and the mic... :D
LOL!!! Right you are👍...every single f'n sound, note, technique, etc......
🤣🤣
he missed a D#
Also missed Z flat demolished.
I think I’ve figured out the secret to Vinnie’s tone on the solo.
Amp EQ settings:
Bass - 0
Mids - 0
Treble - 10
Gain - 10
Boss DS-1 EQ settings:
Level - 10
Gain - 10
Tone: 10

@@d3athr0ck3r why are you watching the video then?
@@karenvanbach7919 wrong, SCORPIONS are #1, V.V.is 2nd.
In retrospect, I absolutely LOVE this guy's guitar solos. I mean, they are as over the top as you can get, and they encapsulate the spirit of the decade to a "T". Decent hooks too.
Vinnie Vincent was over the top ridiculous....and was a great song-writer and great guitar player. True story.
HAHAHA
Sarcasm I hope? 😊
Vinnie is a great musician and songwriter, but he really needed someone to rein him in and help him separate the good from the bad in his output.
OK, true, as you maybe also implied, he was perfectly capable of playing a more 'thoughtful'' carefully constructed, paced and melodic guitar solo when he felt like it - but he also a fan of bombastic over the top guitar playing... Examples of the former are IMHO 'Saint and Sinner on 'Creatures..' and 'A Million to One' and 'All Hells Breaking Loose' on 'Lick It Up'.
Vinnie vincent revivio kiss cuando estaba por separarse...fue el mejor violero de ellos...
I'll take this over the music of today. One of the best videos from this album. Bobby Rock's drumming style was tops over anyone today. Even Dana Strum's bass style is far better than anything of today
This was a very talented band full of talented guys who played music and were great.
900K views? This video should’ve hit a million views years ago!
Hahaha is the worst video in history
this video is so over the top!!i love it because it so ridiculous! !the mic solo thing cracks me up!!the faces he makes looks like he's taking a crap!i love it! the boyz are gonna rock!!
one day just driving somewhere i had this song on repeat...bad ass rockin song
Where were you driving to? I like to listen to this song during all my daily activities.
Ace's solos had much more heart and soul.
Gosh what I wouldn't give to see this shredding masterpiece in glorious 360p.
Vinnie added a harder edge guitar sound and also contributed much to the Creatures of the Night heavy sound!
Tasty soloing there, Vinnie. Love your phrasing and targeting of chord tones.
I joke... It was chaotic drivel.
Seriously terrible. What a goon this guy was.
@@mikerogers3203 Yeah. How is it possible that this was a good idea.
Mark was my guitar teacher abd he got a call from vinniw and left vegas to join this??? He had long straight hair and dark colored. I saw this video months later and I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve heard other guys talk about his playing how it was better before Yngwie hit. Vinnie was supposedly more bluesy/tasty. Then when Yngwie hit, Vinnie was trying to play like that.
That’s the thought I had at first but somehow I keep coming back and listening. Now it has grown on me.
Tasty? 😅🤣😂😆😆😆😅
It's amazing how much Mark and Robert sound alike.
Lol...
Very funny rubber neck.
Its Fleishman vocals....
they hired robert to mimic marks voice as mark auditioned for the first album but they couldnt contact him for it
@@richard-li1llCompletely wrong. Robert was the original voice of VVI, he recorded the first demos and have writing credits on two songs. Mark was in the band basically as an emergency move, since Robert left due to contractual differences and the band had to start touring very soon. Goran Edman who sang with Malmsteen almost got the gig, but Dana Strum said that he wouldn't work (Lame excuse) then Mark got the gig.
Cool! I wish today's music was like this.
Most wicked guitar solo I’ve ever heard in my life
So glad I got to grow up in the 70s and 80s the 80s was a Rad and totally awesome time to grow up in I still listen to 80s music 🎵🎶 still ❤
I still crank this in my car !! Miss these guys and that time period in my life .
Boy, they sure don't make videos like this anymore...which could be argued as a good thing. I read something recently where Vinnie kept going at a solo for hours in the studio. Apparently he couldn't quite capture the performance envisioned and ultimately threw a hissy fit. He smashed the guitar and then pissed on it...yup....pissed on it. Word is the studio stunk of piss for three days.
Vinnie really showed that guitar who was boss.
Oh, I miss these days. Awesome.
Show us you're on a mountain of coke without telling us.
Vinnie Vincent Invasion: "Watch us ski these slopes down the neck of this Carvin!"
Forst time seen video vinni was headbangers ball .still have all my cassette s and this 1 still here we r 2023 im still jamming vviv. Metal will never die im 50yrs old crank this shit to max volume liked hum when he was in Kiss short time Take notes ur kids today this is rock
This IS the 80's all wrapped up in one neon pink package !
I bought these back in the stone age and vinnie can bring it!!!!!
He can’t anymore. Couldn’t play his way out of a country bar. Probably couldn’t even play mary had a little lamb
spelled vinnie wrong dude
I thought this was 1986 was that considered the Stone Age?
@@slightlythelegend6454 corrected thx
@@karenvanbach7919 if you survived the 80s around me it was
Say what you want about Vinnie, but for me, a child of the 80s, this is one of the most badass, coolest vids I've ever seen. Totally over the top, which is how I Still live my life.
Boyz are gonna bust the hell outta your video set! 🤘🏼
Vinnie is so unreal on guitar. This video shock value and mayhem is off the wall!
Love The Invasion! Seen him live in 87 opening for Alice Cooper! If only he could play nice with others!
I love how vinnie kissed his guitar before smashing it, and throwing it into the amplifiers
Vinnie Vincent should have become a superstar back in the 80s, he delivered the goods,such s shame,
If he had his head on straight, he could have rode the KISS train to become a superstar within that band (like Ace did), as he dragged KISS from the misstep that was "The Elder" (even though it's a 10-star album, it was not the right band, nor the right time to release it) with his heavy-duty tread on "Creatures Of The Night" and then "Lick It Up." If he had just had patience and sense, he would have been party to the mid-80s platinum-selling albums (Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights) and 3 generations of fans would know HIM as their first KISS guitarist, and thus, lionize him.
Kiss insisted on saddling VV with insultingly paltry compensation for his efforts, so why would he bother to stick around?
rogue -- you really think that, eh? Even after Vinnie himself said he was an idiot within the KISS org. Took him 20 years to admit it, but he got it out eventually.
He was an idiot for putting up with Kiss' malarkey for two years and naïvely hoping that a signable contract with fair terms would ever be forthcoming!
rogue -- Wow, a real KISS hater here, folks. Probably under 30, has no job, likes Y&T and Enuff Znuff. Waitaminute, he's defending a douche like Vinnie Vincent - says everything we need to know about him....
Wonder why he even bothers commenting on a real band like KISS... makes him feel connected to the real world; makes him feel credible if he brushes up against other credible artists; makes him feel like he's got a functioning brain if he can type a few words in order and pretend that he knows anything about KISS history.... rogue, you're a real drogue.
Vinnie Vincent needs to come out and play,The Invasion lives in all metal hearts, Vinnie where are you ? The rock n roll world needs a shot of your love., Invasion great great album, made to be played at maximum volume... Invasion worshiper 4 life. EVERY Body keep on rocking
He Is a grandmother now
Never forget the day this video premiered on MTV in 1986. Vinnie's got his chance to show the world how much Kiss held him back.
I remember this jam on head bangers ball !! Mtv in the 80's. Rip it up boyz!!
Wow. This is heavy and strange sounding. Vinnie and that singer. Incredible combo
Fleischman was awesome on this album. A few of these songs were a bit out of his range, but he killed it. He goes for it in every song. I wonder if he just lost his voice after this.
Mark Slaughter
Slaughter is in the video, but that is not his voice. He replaced the original singer.
@@creeper2054 that is so true. he did make some video with him singing the songs
@@daviddaniels5639 Is he related to Webster?
Slaughter didn't sing on an album till the second album
Vinnie played so fast it lit the lighting gaffer on fire.
One of the great musics that never crossed the upper side of the American charts.
2024 and I still have this on CD and jam it 🤘🏼
I still crank this album while barnstorming down the TransCanada hiway! 35 years later it’s still a kickass album!
Sexy 80's glam and excess. God I miss it.
joe winkler sounds like you are the homophobe. Douche.
I LOVED the 80’s with guys dressing sexy, teasing their hair and wearing makeup. I wish I could go back!!!! : )
@@aaronkerr5993
He doesnt get that the 90s killed rock! Its total junk now has been for over 20 years
@@KeyoRacing ok boomer
Keith Yo I disagree. The record companies did their best to kill it by over saturation and squeezing every dollar out of it in the 80s. Too many bands were signed that shouldn’t have been and when they were, the record companies dressed them all the same and made them sing a ballad on every album. 80s bands all admit this. I loved the 80s, but by the end of it, it just went too far. The spandex, the fluorescent colors, the ridiculous hair and make up all was pushed too much. Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Poison are just 2 bands that went too far with the ridiculous ultra glam look. Fortunately, GNR went a different direction in the late 80s.
Keith Kessinger talked about this video in a podcast. He said Vinnie is wild, loud, crazy and one of his biggest influences. He sure is right!!!
Vinnie vincent invasion is the best band to have ever lived and played music
After the 4min mark still the greatest thing I've ever seen in a video 🤘, metal should be completely over the top.
It doesn't get more tasteless than this. Still better than anything out there today.
you have barely heard anything new if you really think this. vinnie is a very good guitarist, but this song sucks shit
Tasteless videos were the way of the 80's.
@Frank Filthyfinger what do you mean judging by my videos? every song i've played on my channel (except for one) is from the 80s and early 90s. and again, theres so much great music going on right now that gets overlooked partially because of the people saying there's no good music anymore
Lol
Raúl Pérez VV was the man💪🏻🤘🏻🔥
Mark Slaughter is lip syncing to Robert Fleischman, who left before video was made
It's a shame most people dont know this.
Wish they remade it with Mark on vocals
@Abg Cute butter...margarine?
Fleischman couldn't hit those notes if he tried. That's Mark slaughter singing.
Fall Spring Totally wrong moron. Google it.
Dana strum the talent seeker 🤘🏻
Lmfao 😂😂
Drummer in this band is an absolute monster musician, Bobby rock is an elite all time great drummer
Fun Fact: Mark Slaughter in this video did NOT sing the album release of this song.....another person did and he left the band before this video was made
0:33 possibly the greatest descending tap/hammer note sequence in rock history
I totally agree, the first time I heard it I didn't believe it.
Easily
I always thought Vinnie was taking out his anger at Gene and Paul in this video. Looking at it now I gotta say this video was way too over the top, but I was 20 when it and the album came out and I loved them both! To me, this album smoked anything he had done with KISS and pretty much everything else KISS did in the 80's. Yes, I'm a KISS fan and have been since the 70's, their best music decade by far, IMO.
Vinnie Vincent killer guitarist love his guitar playing forever
Best Decade Of Music 🎶🎵👌🙌❤💙🎶🎵👌🙌❤💙🎶
I have to admit growing up in the 80's I miss this kind of music
Vincent vincent invasion a better band than the Beatles.
An amazing metal masterpiece, and I mean the entire album.
Charles Ishman I can still rock the entire Invasion. Twisted is most listened to
Yeah, the first L.P. Invasion; I wore the groves out, Fleishman was a perfect fit though the demos with Vinnie singing sounded even better, less highs to them but I doubt he could hold down all those duties in a three piece as fast as he was playing and without a 2nd guitarist. Not a big fan of the 2nd album though I didn't buy it after seeing the first videos and hearing Mark on vocals, just my opinion.
A bonkers album but brilliant!
hahahahahaaaa
Totally agree!
Damn; I miss the 80s. This was the era to grow up and the era for the best rock music. Those who don't know 80s music, you are missing out on great music. Today's music (if you can call it that) is all crap.
greatest decade in my life
77-92 were great for rock/pop music alike...FANTASTIC.
I know the 80's music and was a big fan of bands like Motley Crue, but this is a piece of big garbage, a pile of triseratops shit hahha, why do you like this retarded band? Lol
@@sodica81 I liked Motley Crue; I just wasn't into heavy metal like many of my friends. I was into Pop/Rock. Mark Slaughter replaced the original vocalist Robert Fleischman who sang on this video and on the debut album. Bobby Rock is an awesome drummer; Dana Strum is also an awesome bassist.
@@kathrynjordan8782 but this video and this song sucks
Vinnie v this was killer back in the day i got more leg becouse of this album it kills me to see him destroy that san dimas jackson in pink now thats a rare guitar
Have not heard this in years. Got the bus into town and brought it on the day it came out, after waiting in the record shop for the delivery to be unloaded! Got the bus home again and played it.
More is more!!
Awesome guitarist !!! Go Vinnie we love ya !
The best part of this video is the comment section 😎
Hope they didn't need a second take.
Why
The vibrato and melodies in the choruses is an interesting idea that could sound amazing in the hands of someone like Steve Vai or Robert Fripp, but my god that solo sounds like the time my college roommate broke his guitar in half when he took a tumble down a flight of stairs as he was playing the 2nd solo from angel of death.
As much as I hated glam-rock at the time (I was into the big 4) I secretly liked this video for it's visual and sonic intensity. What an over the top bunch of rock and roll nonsnense! i love it!!
*glam metal, glam rock was T-Rex and Bowie
And this is why Vinnie went into hiding for 20+ years. Whenever I need a laugh, I always think of this video and play it. The menacing look the drummer gives at 3:46 is the best.
Don’t make fun of this video and there was another full album and two great videos that followed
I do the same. When I need a laugh, I stop by this video
@@chapigua - why was he kicked out of KISS after only 6 month ???.
@@henrikschultze1668cause he spit in genes and Paul hearty soup
did vinnie vincent ever record an album in his own name or a bandname ???@@savagedick1462
