VINNIE VINCENT INVASION
line up: Marc Slaughter (vocals)
Vinnie Vincent (guitar)
Dana Strum (bass)
Bobby Rock (drums)
In 1977, singer (!) and guitarplayer Vinnie Cusano, alias Vinnie Vincent,
records with his band Treasure a good, melodic rock album. In '82 this talented
guitarplayer joins the mega-band Kiss, he does only stay for two albums. He
rather focusses his mind on an own band, in which he will be boss, concerning
guitarplay and compositions. He finds some other musicians to join him:
bassplayer Dana Strum (ex-Ozzy), singer Robert Fleischman (ex-Journey/Channel)
and drummer Bobby Rock. The debut album is a great mid-tempo heavy metal-LP,
with beautiful and high vocals of Fleischman, to which Vinnie's guitar
waterfalls in style of Joshua Perahia seem a bit uncontrolled. Despite the big
amount of money that's invested in the band by their record company, Vinnie
Vincent's Invasion doesn't become a major metl band. Robert Fleischman leaves
after the first album and is replaced by Marc Slaughter. The second album has
a bit more controlled guitarplay and Marc's vocals are in line of Robert's.
Again a great album, but it doesn't become the wanted breakthrough. De
V.V.Invasion even splits up and it's not shure wether Vinnie tries to create a
new line up or not. Anyway, his record company gives him the key of the street.
