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.
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!!
@@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.
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.......
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.
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

@@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.
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.
As recording engineer on this vid set,the guys talked me into setting myself on fire calling it "Fire 🔥 Walking", not 🚒🔥 fire jumping, or running. 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 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!🤔💭☝️👍
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.
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.
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!
@@terrywelch7150Slaughter Sang On The Following Album. Not This One. He Was Only In This Music Video. Robert Fleischman Sang On This Song And Their First Album
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!!
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
@@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.
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....❤
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
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.
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.
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.
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'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
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
@@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.
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'.
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.
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.
Ok. If you DIDNT grow up in this era, you wont ever understand. The look, the sound, it was a lifestyle, not just music. Beats Beiber or Cyrus or anything that imitates country.
Molton Rocka what he said was it was a lifestlye yeah? We were not ironic. We believed in all that stupid shit. We went real hard. And it was fucking awesome fun. I would love a tardis and leave all you fuckheads here with your twits and tweets and hippity-hops.
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.
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.
You were expecting a solo to start slow and build up to the end of it, nah.... Vinnie instead slapped you with his guitar right across the face with this!!
@Imtherealsaturnsonic If you listen to the original Warrior demo of Boyz are Gonna Rock and then listen Kiss's On the 8th Day the verse riffs are exactly the same..
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.
This song came out the year I was born. I find myself listening to this song a lot Vinnie is awesome on the guitar for sure. Mark Slaughter has the pipes to sing and Dana Strum on the bass just creates a wonderful sound that can’t be beat. ❤Gotta love and respect the guys that made this happen.
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.
I remember seeing this song on VH1 Classic's "Metal Mania" back in the early 2000's and I remember being totally stunned by the cheesiness of the video.
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!!

@RoyPage1970 but not many.
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!!
Definitely 1980s version of Spinal Tap.
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.

and the mic... :D
LOL!!! Right you are👍...every single f'n sound, note, technique, etc......

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.
In 86, I laughed and changed the knob on the tv. In 2022, im rocking out. They dont make this style anymore. I miss the 1980s.

Between 0.05 and 0.06 I can hear some Hendrix feedback from Foxy Lady, I always liked Vinnie's tone, these guys rock.

@@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
Dana strum the talent seeker 🤘🏻
Lmfao 😂😂
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 .
I love Mark's voice!!!👍👍👍
This is Robert fleshman and he is a better singer than Mark slaughter. by the way have you really seen Mark slaughter lately ? Lmao
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 know it's robert fleishman (former lead vocalist of Journey) who sang in this album not mark slaughter
I still crank this in my car !! Miss these guys and that time period in my life .
I remember this jam on head bangers ball !! Mtv in the 80's. Rip it up boyz!!
I love how vinnie kissed his guitar before smashing it, and throwing it into the amplifiers
This hasn't aged well. Vinny's a hell of a player, but my skin crawls watching this vid.
900K views? This video should’ve hit a million views years ago!
Hahaha is the worst video in history
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
This IS the 80's all wrapped up in one neon pink package !
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.
Gosh what I wouldn't give to see this shredding masterpiece in glorious 360p.
Drummer in this band is an absolute monster musician, Bobby rock is an elite all time great drummer
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'.
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.
I still crank this album while barnstorming down the TransCanada hiway! 35 years later it’s still a kickass album!
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.
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.
Wow. This is heavy and strange sounding. Vinnie and that singer. Incredible combo
Oh, I miss these days. Awesome.
After the 4min mark still the greatest thing I've ever seen in a video 🤘, metal should be completely over the top.
Love this rocking song ❤❤❤❤
The best part of this video is the comment section 😎
Ok. If you DIDNT grow up in this era, you wont ever understand. The look, the sound, it was a lifestyle, not just music. Beats Beiber or Cyrus or anything that imitates country.
Oh yeah. It was a time of heroes and gods. Get me on the first bus to 1987.
Molton Rocka what he said was it was a lifestlye yeah? We were not ironic. We believed in all that stupid shit. We went real hard. And it was fucking awesome fun. I would love a tardis and leave all you fuckheads here with your twits and tweets and hippity-hops.
Molton Rocka the 80s best decade in rock n metal these bands ruled the world so fuck you
Molton Rocka oh no now I'm gonna need therapy. You wouldn't last five seconds back in those days. Even Vinnie would have had you as his bitch. Lol
Music Lover lollz ffs i think its you who needs the therapist buddy. You have a dead rat in your mind-tank.
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.
Best Decade Of Music 🎶🎵👌🙌❤💙🎶🎵👌🙌❤💙🎶
I don't think Vinnie Vincent ever learned that sometimes less is better.
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.
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
Hope they didn't need a second take.
Why
I like the backward cymbal crashes by the drummer the most. It was so cool I gotta go back to school.
Vinnie lives FOREVER🏋🏌🤙🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👾
You were expecting a solo to start slow and build up to the end of it, nah.... Vinnie instead slapped you with his guitar right across the face with this!!
Awesome guitarist !!! Go Vinnie we love ya !
Vinnie Vincent killer guitarist love his guitar playing forever
You can just hear those authientic Delta Blues oozin' out of every note on Vinnie's guitar.
NB: possibly sarcasm
More is more!!
@Imtherealsaturnsonic If you listen to the original Warrior demo of Boyz are Gonna Rock and then listen Kiss's On the 8th Day the verse riffs are exactly the same..
As much as I didn't think he was a good fit for Kiss he is still a damn good guitar player and this is still one of my all time favorite albums.
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!
A band with a noisy singer or one with a noisy guitar player is lukewarm. I need both at the same time.
This song came out the year I was born. I find myself listening to this song a lot Vinnie is awesome on the guitar for sure. Mark Slaughter has the pipes to sing and Dana Strum on the bass just creates a wonderful sound that can’t be beat. ❤Gotta love and respect the guys that made this happen.
Mark Slaughter is NOT singing this song. It's Robert Fleischman. Slaughter was plugged into the video. Robert sings this entire album.
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
When music videos were actually cool
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.
I remember watching this in third grade the heavy metal half hour on mtv
2024 and I still have this on CD and jam it 🤘🏼
Best solo everrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........wish i had that guitar, they were $9000 dollar custom Carvins back in the day
Bill David that was a double v custom V.V model made by Jackson.
After Vinnie went to carvin guitars.
Wild Music...Love It !
I LOVE EEEEVERYTHING WILD!!
I remember seeing this song on VH1 Classic's "Metal Mania" back in the early 2000's and I remember being totally stunned by the cheesiness of the video.
I don’t see any cheese but it’s not a bad video just a little silly
This was Vinnie trying to hard must have used the same people as Billy Squire used to shoot Rock Me Tonight
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
This is the best music video ever made.
