She needs to hear “That Time of Year”

[@MrAiden3121]

Agree with this

[@angelcross1997]

Mark Slaughter…great voice+great looks=total package. I met him backstage once and he was so nice. Took a pic with me and I looked like a deer in headlights haha

[@flickeringboxofficial]

I have heard he is a great guy and generous with the fans.

[@angelcross1997]

@@flickeringboxofficialMark and Blas were the only two who stayed and talked to us. They talked about music in general and it was so interesting. My friend was talking to Mark and got on the subject of Babylon A.D. and Mark randomly started singing the chorus of “Bang Go The Bells” and of course it was amazing. Such a fun memory

[@paulgray6100]

Very cool guy

[@paulgray6100]

Met him at the Button in So Florida before they just blew up then I just met him again last week in Dania Florida and he completely remembered the story I told about our first meeting it's just cool because I'm a guy and he had women crazy over him back then but he remembered me it was so cool

[@flickeringboxofficial]

@paulgray6100 That is an awesome story, ty Paul

[@erikhayes1]

Vinnie was one of the, if not they most self-destructive musicians to ever come along. He was literally handed the golden ring when he was with KISS. But because he refused to sign contracts, he refused to sigh the insurance contracts and venue contracts that come along with playing in a major touring band, and his unwillingness to be a team player, he went from being in a position to not only become one of the most respected guitarists/song writers in a generation, to now being nothing but a footnote in KISSTORY. He could have truly been great.

[@zmbdog]

On top of that he would end up fired from his own band by the label (Chrysalis) for over-extending his credit and charging anything and everything back to them. Chrysalis would end up keeping singer Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum on contract to form a new band, which would end up being the much-more-successful Slaughter. They even did a song about Vinnie called "Burning Bridges" that appeared on their debut _Stick it to Ya_ .

[@marywise7661]

mark slaughter owes ALOT to vinnie.if not being the frontman for vinnie vincent invasion the band slaughter wouldnt even have existed.@@zmbdog

[@zmbdog]

And without KISS, Vinnie would still be a nobody named Vincent Cusano. Slaughter made it on their own material. Slaughter may not have formed as it is without them being in VVI but don't act like Vinnie handed Mark a career. @@marywise7661

[@DurinRhohan]

add, Don Felder, to that group

[@Jay-ef2ii]

@@marywise7661 Mark Slaughter was fortunate that Chrysalis had power over him and Vinnie Vincent and it was Chrysalis that selected "the kid." The kid who was Slaughter was put in Invasion because of Chrysalis (not Vincent(; never Vincent. Vincent had no say over this, even though he was and is a great guitarist but he had limited power even though he was in Kiss. Mark and Dana paid their dues and that is life. March 2024. USA

Everybody needs to go back to the 80's and experience the amazingness of everything about it!! This was awesome, song,video etc.😊 where is the time machine? I wanna go back. 👍

[@doobiedave9686]

Vinnie is a guitar virtuoso but it's too bad that his other issues got in the way of what could have been a long and incredible career. I'm a Slaughter fan and used to wear out my Stick It To Ya album. Great reaction. 🙌✌️

[@kaansoler1431]

Still gotta do Dangerous Toys "Scared". It's not on any horror movie soundtrack but a great metal Halloween song, plus the song was written to an homage to Alice Cooper. You could also do Fastway "Trick Or Treat". Another great Halloween rocker.

Dana Strum on Bass … Here with Vinnie Vincent and with Mark Slaughter in the Band Slaughter…

[@Savagemister]

I wonder what it's like for the young to hear it for the first time now. For us, back then, it was perfect timing.

[@thiefgold0913]

Slaughter has so many great songs whether with Vinnie or without. Sounds like Alexa would like Fly To The Angels, days gone by,

[@timberrwolff]

Ohhhhhh you found a true treasure here! I LOVED Vinnie's work in KISS, especially on the "Creatures of the Night" album, and as you say his creativity was boundless, but the man just could NOT get out of his own way, and it breaks my heart. The lineup he had with the young Marc Slaughter was a powerhouse and "All Systems Go" is a masterpiece. But...sadly...Vinnie was one of those artists that was never happy. I understand...the writer/film director I worked with for many years was the same. He was never truly happy with anything he did...no matter how many people loved it. There's a video here on KZbin in which Marc talks about how he landed his gig with VVI and how hard he fought to prove himself. He was very respectful about Vinnie...Marc Slaughter is a true metal warrior through and through! Awesome vid...thanks for uploading!

[@theartistformerlyknownashe1279]

I remember calling around for days trying to find this on CD. Still have the CD in my Jeep. Hasn't left any of my cars since 1988. Man I'm old.

[@vegasaxeman]

Mark is not only extremely talented. He's truly the nicest and hardest working guy in Rock-N-Roll! The guy lives, eats, and breathes music 🎶 🎵 And his dedication and appreciation to his fans is absolutely real and from the heart ❤️ Believe me, I saw it first hand! God bless and take care...

[@randywissler9923]

Don't forget Dana Strum, the bass player from Slaughter was also VVI's bass player as well.

[@davidcohee5356]

Such a nicely crafted song. 🤘🏻. And Bobby Rock on drums!

[@dickydingerexploring5247]

Loved this album and this song!!!keep on sharing the great music of the past with Alexia 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dalejohnson2047]

Dana strum from slaughter was in the band also and when they left Vinnie the formed slaughter,also Vinnie was a great guitarist from his time in kiss to his solo stuff

[@crosswalklarry]

The band Slaughter was AFTER VV Invasion. The song That Time Of The Year is just as chilling. Combination of his clean tones and melodic solos.

[@KellyKalmer-rb9yo]

This will be your jackpot of all live video. Headpins live in dortmund1984 and headpins ,club soda,Vancouver,sept12 1985. These guys will blow any other band off the map.

[@Consolous]

"Love Kills" by VVI is one of the greatest songs of the genre. The song itself tells a story, and it builds up as one. Starting softly with the acoustic guitar and Mark's soft voice, then building up and breaking down again for the soft melodic part to then build up again to the chorus and later releasing all the emotions built up until that point in the beautiful guitar solo. This song is a masterpiece and you're right, the music video itself is so cinematic and goes well with the movie's story. Another song I'd recommend from that album is "That Time of Year" which, along with "Love Kills" is one of my favorite songs ever (which I myself covered). And yes, Alexis has a beautiful speaking voice, she could be a singer if she wanted.

[@donaldthomas1963]

Mark was a great guy in High School got to sing in choir with him, he and I were in a barbershop quartet at school and mens choir

[@georgewallerlll496]

Sometime in the future, you have to react to the band Nelson, since the Drummer here, Bobby Rock, was in that band, and then everyone in this video is covered. Dana Strum and Mark Slaughter, both in the band Slaughter, or maybe Kiss, from the "Lick it up" album, which included Vinnie Vincent. Great song though!

[@hobertgordon7465]

I never realized Mark Slaughter was in this band, great singer and a guitarist

[@RockFan89]

Thats Dana Strum on bass here too.

[@motrock2]

I got this back in the early 2000s when I was in college. Great album! Mark was vocally at his best!

[@gabrielholguin3689]

Great song , good reaction. That song should have been huge tho. It is cool to see Alexis crushing on Mark. It reminds me of a lady friend that is no longer with us unfortunately. We went to see Slaughter & she kept saying he is so cute and she kept grabbing my hand to move to the front.😂 I can’t remember if you have a showed her Fly to the Angels. Also show her more of the Skid Row ballads. 🔥Thank you both!🙏🏼❤️🤘🏼🍺

[@Chevelle_5150]

Great song ,and that time of year is also aa great song / with Mark Slaughter on vocals, glad i have them on my ipod, wish these songs could be on touchtunes to play at bars!!!

[@mssmiles0503]

I have always felt the same about Mark Slaughter. I love the lyrics, too.

[@Footy_Fan]

As much as I absolutely LOVED Dokken's killer stuff in the 80s, including the Nightmare on Elm Street 3 stuff....Love Kills and That time of Year from Vinnie Vincent Invasion's debut album are two of my all-time favorite songs. Mark Slaughter is one of my all-time favorite vocalists, as well. Holy cow, I forgot that in the video, Vinnie has Freddie's knife glove for his pick slide. That was so epic. I literally just happened upon your channel, and I am blessed that I did. You guys should do a King Diamond song, such as Welcome Home (the live version is so intense).

MTV had a special promoting part 4 when this came out, and they showed the VJ Ken Ober looking for Freddy I Freddy grabs Vinnie. Haha Don't forget Slaughter Bassist Dana Strum was in this band too. =)

[@USSHammerology]

Fun. Didnt know about this song.

[@ChrisJaros]

My name is Chris and I love every reaction to every video y'all play because the best part is that you both have open minds and don't crap on something because it's not from your era or favorite genre. I especially like to see Alexis reacting to music I never thought she'd hear, like this song and Dokken and Warrant, and for that I think Burch is awesome cuz he knows his stuff and doesn't come across as a know-it-all, but rather a teacher of what the bands, songs and that era was all about. This is my favorite channel on the entire internet.

[@flickeringboxofficial]

That is extremely kind to say, thank you very much! Don't miss the live show this Tuesday @7pm, it is going to be a lot of fun.

[@robgray4188]

And mark was great, happy his band slaughter did so well

[@davidnorth-martino]

I've seen Slaughter 3 times. Back in 1990, I saw them open for KISS for the Hot in the Shade Tour. They were fantastic and made me a fan for life. This song really expresses the pain and longing you feel as a teenager in love. After seeing and loving Dream Warriors in the theater, I didn't have any desire to continue with the series. Mainly because Nancy wasn't going to return. I've only seen The Dream Master once, and watched it for the first time maybe 10 years ago. It actually wasn't bad for a fourth entry in the franchise.

[@DavidMoore_drmoorejr]

Vinnie also sang background vocals with Mark.

Vinnie Vincent full consort Toronto 1986.

[@SeanPFarley]

Such a great song. I remember it being somewhat big on Dial-MTV back in the day. It's interesting that they downplayed the glam even in '88, when it was at its peak. Amazing song. Mark's voice is stellar. This album was huge for me. I was 13, when music was making a huge impact in my life.

I started singing quietly and looked and saw the dad doing the same thing 😂

[@NoblePhantasm23]

I agree with Paul Stanley about Vinnie. He's very self destructive even in his music. I was surprised when I heard the solo to this song. He actually keeps it in line with the song. In others it seems like he just wants to be fast.

[@joeyrogers7017]

I might just watch A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master tonight! It was a blast seeing it in the theater.

[@thiefgold0913]

It's time to revisit Vinnie Vincent Invasion / Slaughter please.

[@TWINAM]

Hello again you two did another Awesome reaction to the Soundtrack for Nightmare on Elm Street 4 the best part of this music video is where Vinny was wearing Freddy's glove as he motions and slide's the glove up the neck of the guitar to make it seem like he was attacking it with killer riff's great sound all around as well in the video even though they didn't do a upgrade to the video as you remastered the video. I think that song could played in many other movies if given the chance.

[@westjt17]

Wow deep dive on this one!

[@19HuskyWolf70]

Vinnie put his heart into his band...he couldn't handle the pressure, my opinion Check out a cover song Slaughter - Rocky mountain way

[@robertgrimstadjr7785]

You forgot Dana Strum, the bassist, was also in Slaughter😁

[@markwilliams6394]

Vinnie Vincent Invasion is basically Slaughter without Vinnie. Dana's a cool guy. Meet him with VVI, after they did their set, he came out in the crowd and stood next to my seat and signed autos for the kids. He talked the whole time with my girlfriend and me while he signed autos. They opened for Iron Maiden that show. Mark didn't record the first album but he replaced the singer for that tour.

[@poeslanding]

Great song! I really hate that they cut this version up in the remaster.

[@chrisstory563]

Vinnie was a talented guitar player and songwriter but had a nasty ego. Gene Simmon and Paul Stanley butted heads with him before they let him go. Paul said in his book that Vinnie guitar solos were getting incredibly long at shows. he wrote that one time Vinnie threw a tantrum after his solo abruptly got cut short. Both Vinnie Vincent and Mark St. John had tragic outcomes after Kiss. btw. here is a fun fact. he co-written some songs for Kiss Revenge album and also wrote a song called Tears that was recorded by John Waite.

You would be correct. Slaughter is really just VVI without Vinnie due to Vinnie being an unbelievable chode. Listen to Burning Bridges on Slaughters debut album its all about Mr Cusano.
