Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent is planning to re-record the second Vinnie Vincent Invasion album, All Systems Go, with the band’s original singer, who was ousted in favor of future star Mark Slaughter.
The self-titled debut Vinnie Vincent Invasion album of 1986 featured one-time Journey singer Robert Fleischman on vocals, with Dana Strum on bass and Bobby Rock on drums. Released in 1988, follow-up All Systems Go featured Slaughter on vocals. After the band fell apart amid contract renegotiations with record label Chrysalis, Strum and Slaughter went on to form the multi-platinum band Slaughter, while Vincent re-teamed with KISS to co-write a few tracks from that band’s 1992 album Revenge, including lead track “Unholy.”
In a statement, Vincent said he planned to re-team with Fleischman to recapture the feel of his original demos and the first VVI album. Of All Systems Go, Vincent said: “Once the recording sessions were underway, it became painfully evident the production, sound and lead vocals were simply poor, lackluster and pale in comparison to Vinnie’s first Vinnie Vincent Invasion.”
The statement went on to say that Vincent planned to re-record All Systems Go, “the way it should have been recorded with the Vincent production, inclusive of all guitars, bass and vocals which would bring back the ferocious, over-the-top sound of the first Vinnie Vincent Invasion album, with Robert Fleishman on vocals.”
