| 189.1 | Finally, somebody LISTENED!!!! | PLEXUS::V5REGISTRAR | | Fri Aug 05 1988 16:43 | 19 |
| The first time I heard Vinnie Vincent I wanted to gag. I thought
the album (the first one) was just another screamy singer and a
100mph dime a dozen guitarist. The more I listened to it, the
more I liked it. It takes a while to be able to tolerate the
meaning- and endless solos, though.
The second album, All Systems Go, is another story all together.
This album kicks!! Obviously, Vinnie and friends *listened* to
what people had to say: that the solos were overpowering, the clothes,
hair, makeup and attitude were positively obnoxious, and getting
in the way of quality music. The new album isn't as totally outrageous
as the last one, and I mean that as a compliment. The tunes are
more melodic and refined, as opposed to all-holds-barred wildness.
It really *is* good stuff. They dropped the obnoxious image and
I think these guys have finally got their act together.
Awesome. I love it.

I liked Vinnie's first album it was over the top he was just showing
what he could do since in Kiss his solo's were stifled(sp?).I
realy haven't listend to ALL SYSTEMS yet what are the real good
tracks.

| One of the worst live bands I've ever seen. So I never bothered to listen
to the album. It sounds like I should skip the first, but maybe check out
the second.

I haven't seen them, or really heard the albums. I heard Boyz are
gonna rock on the radio once...i thought it was the usualy...screamy
singer, hammer-noise guitarist.
My students (who keep me up on the latest and greatest in the metal
scene) all hate the VVI, they say the band is "the worst".
So, I take their word for it.
maybe the 2nd lp is better?

PS - i agree about the image though, way too much pink, Vinnie always
looked like a flamer.

FYIM ;Vinnie doesn't wear pink anymore he can't stand the
color.

| 189.8 | Yeah, Vinnie | PLEXUS::V5REGISTRAR | | Mon Aug 08 1988 15:55 | 6 |
| I read that that country was Iceland.
I listened to that album a lot this weekend, and I still liked it.

|
Maybe he(VV) should team up w/Ace and form the "A to V connection.
hyukhyuk or even "Exkissty"
But seriously I havent heard VV 2nd album but what I heard from
the first made me sick. Like I said..his first album rotted but
I dont know about the 2nd...hopefully it's better.

| 189.10 | Vinnie please Vanish | SALEM::DACUNHA | | Fri Sep 09 1988 11:48 | 28 |
|
I don't know if I ever heard any of VV's studio
stuff. If I did, 10 to 1 I shut it off within TEN
SECONDS!!!!
I saw him with A. Cooper and Vinnie couldn't
have been worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While warming up backstage, even without all
the jumbled noise of his wanna-be band he was ATROCIOUS
He can play two-hundered m.p.h. but WHAT he
plays plain STINKS***
I've heard better sixteen year olds!
besides he looks like an alien
|
| 189.11 | really he sucks? | SALEM::BUTKUS | | Fri Sep 09 1988 13:01 | 16 |

RE.-1
Was that the show where his equipment was repossesed(sp?) and he
went on with a high fever and was in the john for 15 minutes
vomiting his brains out then came on and did three songs and left.
also his wanna be band? I don't know about the drummer but the bassist
is a respected studio musician and the vocalist has a tremendous
range. so where do you get wanna be's.If vinnie sucks why was it
reported that he got a seven record deal with the label that he's
on,just from his guitar playing.

RE;-2
Okay about the wanna be part,I knew there was something about the
talent in this band that I read about.
Bob Rock:Drummer,did two years at Berklee,also beat out Fred Courry
and Greg Bissonett for the Job in the invasion.
Dana Strum:Bassist,Was responsible for finding Jake E Lee and Randy
Rhoads for Ozzy,he also does a number of other things like producing
he did the Oz's Bark At The Moon concert for EMTVy and the I'm so
tired Mini Live Album,His studio work includes albums from Barry
Manilow to Cheap Trick.
Vinnie Vincent: Was a studio musician,did a couple of movie soundtracks
Was responsible for most of the songs on Lick it Up,His playing
ability ranges from country steel to metal.
Mark Slaughter:Singer He's brand new hasn't done anything else yet
Now why would like Dana who knows what a talanted guitarist is
hook up with someone who sucks.

| 189.13 | VVI on Video | CSC32::G_HOUSE | Back in Black | Tue Sep 13 1988 12:36 | 8 |
| This weekend I saw a new VVI video for some song from the Nightmare
on Elm Street IV soundtrack. It sounded pretty good, but Vinnie
*does* look like an alien. I couldn't decide which was scarier,
him or Freddie...
I give it a thumbs up.

| 189.14 | Unrest in VVI | AYOV11::MHOLLOWAY | | Sun Sep 18 1988 19:48 | 5 |
| re 189.12
It looks like Dana Strum could be set to leave VVI. According to
Kerrang there seems to be some unrest in the VVI camp and Dana seems
set to leave.

| 189.15 | Just heard V.V.Invasion. | TYCOBB::C_DENOPOULOS | | Tue Jan 17 1989 08:46 | 7 |
| For those of you who are using "NEXT UNSEEN" Deja-vu.
I just heard a song by Vinnie Vincent Invasion called "Boyz are
gonna rock". Is this a good example of their style of music? If
it is, I'd like to buy the album.

| IMHO, VV isn't worth the $$$. Go buy Metal Church instead. Vinnie is
nowhere, and their second lp is worst than the first.

Strange to read all this about the old shreaking singer when you think
that it was none other than Mark Slaughter.
|
| 189.18 | | POWDML::BUCKLEY | Watch the Sparrow falling.. | Mon Dec 28 1992 08:55 | 2 |
| There were two shrieking singers in the VVI -- the first one (first
album) was a bigger shrieker than his replacement, Mark Slaughter.

Sorry missed that was Mark Slaughter there old singer or are

Look what crawled out of the woodwork 8^)
Yes, Mark used to sing and Dana Strum (Slaughters bass player) played
bass. Remind me and I'll bring the album in for you to drool over.

| Mark and Dana(girly name)are talentless loosers.Mark should give up
singing as the whiney vocals do my head in!!

| 189.22 | | NEWOA::DALLISON | Feel it burn | Tue Jan 05 1993 06:54 | 7 |
| No way,
Dana is a talanted producer and a decent bass player, Mark is a good
singer (weather you like the sound of his voice is irrelevant, nobody
can deny that he can sing well) and not a bad guitar player too.
-tony ( come on Staynz, get out of the Kylie and Jason stuff 8^) ).

As far as I'm concerned,Marks' singing is aweful but I haven't heard
his guitar playing.What has happend to Slaughter anyway?

He's ok, but his voice grates on my nerves after a few songs. I don't
think I could manage to listen to an entire album in one sitting.

| Buck,
Make your mind up buddy. One minute you declare Slaughters "Stick it
to ya" to be your 'Hot album of the week' and then the next you say how
much you dislike Marks voice.
So what, has it suddenly become hip to dislike 'em ?

| 189.31 | | POWDML::BUCKLEY | Let the light surrounded | Thu Jan 07 1993 09:13 | 3 |
| I like most of the songs on SITY, but, as I have often told Friz (and
as I have gotten into a heated debate with his SO, the Vicmeister),
I think Mark *really* whines, which I hate.
