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.

[@siberiaenfhesm]

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

[@tiluriso]

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]

@@tiluriso It was probably the sound engineer/ mix engineer/ mastering engineer that ruined it.

[@tiluriso]

@@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

[@bc2155]

I see no fault in your eq settings for VV....but as an esteemed guitar legend once said, "But this goes to 11!?!?"

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...

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.

[@roguenation]

Kiss insisted on saddling VV with insultingly paltry compensation for his efforts, so why would he bother to stick around?

Slaughter is in the video, but that is not his voice. He replaced the original singer.

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 🤘🏼

[@robspafford2884]

I still crank this album while barnstorming down the TransCanada hiway! 35 years later it’s still a kickass album!

[@realrocker777]

Sexy 80's glam and excess. God I miss it.

I LOVED the 80’s with guys dressing sexy, teasing their hair and wearing makeup. I wish I could go back!!!! : )

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

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.

[@newglammetalrevival4514]

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!!!

[@karenvanbach7919]

Vinnie vincent invasion is the best band to have ever lived and played music

[@brandonboe2286]

After the 4min mark still the greatest thing I've ever seen in a video 🤘, metal should be completely over the top.

[@johnwestcott5612]

It doesn't get more tasteless than this. Still better than anything out there today.

[@raulperez2308]

you have barely heard anything new if you really think this. vinnie is a very good guitarist, but this song sucks shit

[@bryaningle6034]

Tasteless videos were the way of the 80's.

[@raulperez2308]

@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

[@JBmusicart]

Lol

[@Soldano88]

Raúl Pérez VV was the man💪🏻🤘🏻🔥

[@harrythorne2293]

Mark Slaughter is lip syncing to Robert Fleischman, who left before video was made

[@Hobbym3]

It's a shame most people dont know this.

[@pissinginthemainstream7823]

Wish they remade it with Mark on vocals

[@yeahsure8323]

[@stefos6431]

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

[@ericyoumans2670]

0:33 possibly the greatest descending tap/hammer note sequence in rock history

[@djrossetto3992]

I totally agree, the first time I heard it I didn't believe it.

[@savagedick1462]

Easily

[@larrycoker8093]

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.

[@countrykeith6518]

I have to admit growing up in the 80's I miss this kind of music

[@karenvanbach7919]

Vincent vincent invasion a better band than the Beatles.

[@charlesishman767]

An amazing metal masterpiece, and I mean the entire album.

[@cordellivy3597]

Charles Ishman I can still rock the entire Invasion. Twisted is most listened to

[@roymartin500]

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.

[@tonycruse3648]

A bonkers album but brilliant!

[@bluematrix5001]

hahahahahaaaa

[@olliecrow3547]

Totally agree!

[@kathrynjordan8782]

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.

[@neddistanz]

greatest decade in my life

[@mikeydrookie351]

77-92 were great for rock/pop music alike...FANTASTIC.

[@sodica81]

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

[@kathrynjordan8782]

@@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.

Hope they didn't need a second take.

[@cellblocknine5385]

Why

[@Hammerhead547]

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.

[@friendlyghost6564]

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!!

[@jpoulter8845]

*glam metal, glam rock was T-Rex and Bowie

[@samuelbrainsample]

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.
