Paul's Fake Hair...

[sixxswine]

It is quite funny to witness middle-aged men, decked out in clown make-up and ass-less leather chaps, singing teen-aged rebellion tunes such as "Let Me Go Rock n Roll" or "Rock n Roll All Night".
Something's just not right there.

I echo those thoughts...

That was absolutely fucking HILARIOUS!!!!!

PS - Did they actually NEED a guitar pick to play the guitar parts on "Lick it Up"?

:Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin:

I don't think they could answer that question. You'd have to track down who the session musician was that played on that record...
KISS is taking a tongue lassing on this thread aren't they?!

 

[USMC0341]

I believe they are...most of it deserved, some of it maybe just a BIT over the top...NAH!!! They deserve every last bit of it!!!

Actually most of the guitar playing on the Lick It Up album is great... it is just the title track which has completely boring guitar parts and no solo. And Vinnie Vincent played pretty much all the guitar parts on that album, the only part of the album played by a session musician was the solo on Exciter because Paul & Gene though Vinnie's solo was too fast so they got someone else to record one behind his back and didn't even tell him. Songs like Not For The Innocent and A Million To One (criminally underrated melodic hard-rock song!) have killer guitar solos...

And surprisingly (I say surprisingly coz his playing is so super-fast and over the top on his solo albums) Vinnie's playing on the Lick It Up album is far more tasteful and fitting than Mark St. John's playing on Animalize which half the time didn't even fit the songs imo, he was just showing off his technique. It pisses me off when Gene bags Mark St John for playing like that though, when it was Gene himself who was hell bent on getting a guitarist like him just to try to (unsuccessfully) compete with dudes like Eddie Van Halen.

Great album though still.

It's funny that this "Lick It Up" post came up. I was watching Metal Mania this morning with my boys & when the video came up they knew who it was based on their knowledge of the KISS Katalog. Anyway, when they looked up at the screen & saw the band walking up the street, my oldest boys says "hey dad, I though this was a KISS song?" I answered that "yeah it is." He says "they why do they have that girl in the band?" The "girl" was Vinnie! I laughed! After finding out that Vinnie was a he, they said "that's creepy dad!" I can't argue with that...

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Vinnie Vincent about 6 months ago. THAT is creepy... He looks like a transvestite... the dude hasn't even played music for 8 years so I don't know why he's lookin like that... if he was still doing Invasion then yeah, but even in Invasion with the heaviest glam makeup you could get, he looked less feminine than he does now!

 

[sixxswine]

My question is is he getting together with Marcie Free to form a band after the sex change is complete?!

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

That's what I'm thinking too haha.

What great talent you'd have there though between Vincent & Free... Great guitarist & writer and probably one of the top 10 rock vocalists ever in my opinion.

Without a doubt Vinnie can shred with the best of 'em.
Hey have you heard anything that's been released under Marcie Free?
I'm just curious. I mean he might have had the sex change, but I imagine
there's still a great voice there. Right?

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I have heard one or two songs and he still sounds like a man to me! Still got the great voice.
