Late to this, but yeah, Mark was such a nice guy when I got meet him at a signing at Club La Vela in 1998. I must have talked to him about BBQ and kids for like 10 minutes as others were moving down the line for signatures. Wish i had gotten a picture.

Known Mark for years, had the honor of opening a show he did in Vegas in the early 90's at a small club, where he gathered up about a dozen stars, including Brad Gillis, and man others where we all just jammed all night long. Had met Mark many times, as he was a guitar teacher at Vesley music in Las Vegas before the VVi thing. His old band Excursion got to open for Stryper when he was really young. Most las vegas rockers and musicians back then knew Mark as just another on of the guys around town. Very down to earth, no ego at all. Him and Tim and Blas would show up to random events like country fairs and such. I remember hangin with Tim and his brother on the midway of the Jaycee state fair. When Slaughter wasnt on tour the guys would frequent concerts and clubs, I ended up in the seat next to Blas at a Winger show, where he grabbed myself and my guitar player after the show to ask us to open their all star show. I hear he now lives in Nashville, im just 20 miles south of there these days. Wonder if I should look him up.

His comment about Mark being generous and as a fan supporting Slaughter for the rest of his life, I feel the same way 100%. Slaughter and Firehouse (Bill Leverty talked to me for like 10 minutes about guitars and songs at a signing at a show in at the Pensacola Fairground in 1998) are the two bands that gave me personally amazing fan experiences outside of the music part of the show; they're highlights i wont forget.

"SLAUGHTER" in the midterms... Fkn hilarious. It's just great to see when you "Hollywood " (or Nevada) "types" truly get what's Actually going on in our country...

I'm glad the question was asked and I'm glad Mark took "the high road", LOL Let's be honest, Vinnie has not released any music, while Mark and Slaughter have released a lot of music since VVI disbanded all those years ago. Vinnie can choose not to recognize Mark but Vinnie really should concentrate on learning how to play guitar again or become a lot more modest.

@JohnDoe-gk7ok 6 жыл бұрын

The first VVI record was an 80s classic. Take away the shredding and you still have great songs! It has the best version of Back on the Street. I also love Boys Are Gonna Rock, No Substitute, Invasion, and Animal. The second album wasn’t as good, but it has some gems: Ashes to Ashes, Love Kills, Ecstasy, That Time of Year, and Deeper. Slaughter had some great songs as well. I’ve been listening to Days Gone By, which has a real Queen-Somebody-to-Love vibe.

@ShockMe1994 6 жыл бұрын

John Doe you might think of them as classics and don’t get me wrong, I listen to some of those songs but they are not 80s classics, most people don’t know who VV is, let alone the VVI, only hardcore KISS & Slaughter fans.

and she shit on Derek Christopher who brought her sorry, BROKE ass out of obscurity...Derek ripped off many by allowing his friends in for free at the ATL Expo which in turn caused long lines and paying customers to miss out on the meet and greets that they paid for. Derek didn't deliver all that was paid for (mini guitars, meet and greets and photo ops from VIP paying guest) so I'm not sure if Derek quit Vanessa or she quit him. Seems many people have forgiven transgender warrior for he took money from promoters Phil Elliot and Peter Arquette and was a no-show on some convention stops but I guess they've since forgiven him since they both have been in attendance at various recent appearances and Arquette paid Vinnie for a private signing where it appeared he signed HUNDREDS of photos/posters nd cardstocks that will be sold on his KISS museum website. I'm not aware of anyone quitting his camp for it's just he and the Cro magon looking weirdo, he has for his manager, some monster con/expo fanboy named Randy which I think also doubles as Vanessa's lover? And as for "some" fans, it's hundreds if not more and Vanessa admitted to that in the ATL Q&A and he's yet to make good as he promised but instead sell more crap. Paul Stanley called him out for selling the fake "stage used" guitars that were cheap knockoffs. EDITED I just heard he fired his longtime guitar tech that (s)he gushed about in Atlanta? Seems the unraveling has began!

Does that mean he should be at a KISS Expo bad mouthing Paul and Gene? Second of all, is he not here because of Vinnie Vincent? The high road would have been to not show up at all if he's not on the same page with what/whom he is representing at the KISS Expo.

Rob Fleishman was the real Vinnie Vincent Invasion singer. Mark Slaughter is a good man but was all wrong for the Invasion. Vinnie said that Mark coming aboard the Invasion was a decision by the suits at the record company. Bottom line: sad to say but Mark Slaughter was all wrong for Vinnie Vincent Invasion and it's a pity Rob Fleishman never did that second Invasion record.
