Happy Birthday VINNIE VINCENT (video)

#vinnievincent #kiss #vvi #rockfileradio
Vinnie Vincent (born Vincent John Cusano; August 6, 1952) is an American guitarist and songwriter. He is a former member in the band Kiss, as well as the leader of his own band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
After being introduced to the band by songwriter Adam Mitchell, Vincent was brought in as the replacement for guitarist Ace Frehley. Vincent's personality meshed well with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, thus enabling him to play lead guitar on six of the nine tracks on the Creatures of the Night album as well as co-writing three. After a disappointing Creatures of the Night/Tenth Anniversary tour, that finished on a high at what ended up being the "last" makeup show (and Kiss' largest crowd attendance) at the 1983 Rock in Rio festival, Vincent returned to the studio with Kiss to record the Lick it Up album. His work was productive, yielding eight co-writes out of the ten songs on the album (a record for any member until Kulick's nine on Carnival of Souls and Stanley's ten on Monster).
Following his departure from Kiss in 1984, Vincent took a long vacation and traveled the world for a full year visiting places like Tahiti, Philippines, Mocambique, India and Europe, including a visit to the small town Mora in Dalarna, Sweden. Then he formed the band Vinnie Vincent Invasion with, among others, former Journey singer Robert Fleischman in the mid-1980s and released two studio albums. First, Vinnie Vincent Invasion in 1986 and All Systems Go in 1988. The band broke-up in 1989. After that, the band's singer Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum formed Slaughter.
