He’s got a lot of fans who would love for him to just poke his head out again if only to give someone an interview.

His inactivity is a true loss for rock fans.

Fleischman was replaced by Slaughter shortly after the album was released. Watch the ‘Boyz Are Gonna Rock’ wideo, that’s Mark Slaughter.

Anyway, I think by ’88 VVI was better because Strum & Slaughter were allowed to help write and Vinnie OTT shred was reined in a bit. Too bad Vinnie’s rep basically tanked this album. 8 of the first 9 songs are classics, let’s exclude the Star Spangled Banner because that was a Vinnie show-off, with the best being Love Kills, That Time Of Year, Ashes To Ashes and Heavy Pettin’.

VVI had a seven album deal with Chrysalis but Strum & Slaughter eventually pushed VV out of his own band and created Slaughter. I always liked Vinnie, he put the balls back in KISS from ’82-early ’84 and then again in ’92. He’s a great songwriter and guitarist, its a shame he’s a recluse now.
