Sweet Finds

Post by Calxplorer »

Wicked stoked off some recent come ups. Not sure if this is a proper place to post this stuff, but I figured it's whatever.

Nothin too rare or out there, but I figured you guys would appreciate these finds too :)

The video came from a record store that was slammed with bootlegs dvds n vhs tapes. I was hyped just to find it let alone the condition.

It's a legit find my man...

The shirt I will admit came from a lady online, who claims to have bought it on their tour.

Note: the shirt screams straight outta 86' given the sleeves were cut, as well as nice slit on the collar for I assume cleavage haha...

So they are your items now? Cool stuff, that's all I was wondering, if they were just pictures on the internet, or if you were acquiring them.

I bought the VHS back in the day, along with Bruce's Hot Licks tape, it's a good thing to have in the collection.

The shirt is killer, but I guess there's not much hope of wearing it?

Yes, I am proud to say! I got the video a couple weeks ago, and I've been wanting to take pics n share for a while now.

The quality of footage on the VHS is so clear and sounds so vibrant! I just played it last night for the first time, after working on my neglected VCR in hopes it wouldn't eat the tape! That's rad, I've only seen bits of Bruce's lesson.

The shirts pretty thinned out, but it's in awesome shape! I was surprised when I got it, apparently she's stored it since 87'! I'm too scared to rock it out n about, but it's stupid comfortable. Only on a grande occasion would I dare wear it like say.....an Invasion reunion or Vinnie solo gig! :D

I would wear it to any cool gig you went to, to show allegiance.

I've worn VVI t-shirts to KISS shows here in Australia and while on the KISS Kruise as well, ha ha.

I love wearing it, just wish I had an extra in better shape to rock on the daily.

That's boss, did you get any nasty remarks sent your way?

No, people were always cool about it. A VVI shirt is good at any metal gig.

That T Shirt says "World Tour". Did VVI ever play a gig outside of the United States or Canada?

It's a common trick. KISS show pics of themselves on the Asylum world tour, that went nowhere outside the US and Canada.

I have the Smashes, Thrashes t-shirt which says "Live Tour '89" on the back and there was not even a tour for that album, though it was fairly successful for them at the time somehow.

Didn't they go to Japan around that time? I remember seeing footage of Mark Slaughter playing with a group over there at some festival. There's also a brief clip of Vinnie on a MTV Japan commercial.

In '89 KISS weren't doing much before Hot In The Shade which is why Paul did his first little solo tour.

My bad I meant the Invasion? Like maybe in 87' before recording ASG and possibly before or after their tour with Maiden? Just some random clips I've seen of what looks to be that era, cause Dudes still rock in pink feather ear rings n such like it nobodys business!!!
