Vinnie Vincent in Real-World References

The "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" may also be a parody of "Headbanger's Ball," a metal-oriented music-video segment on MTV that aired in the late 1980s up through 1994. Headbanger's Ball had a reputation for disappointing metal fans by claiming to play hardcore metal but often favoring videos by such pop-metal acts as Mötley Crüe and Poison. "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" also plays on the name of MTV's "Half-hour Comedy Hour."
Strong Mad's death metal lyrics are a reference to three film and television actors whose last names begin with "D-e": Danny DeVito, Robert De Niro, and either Dom, Peter, Michael or David DeLuise.)
The "Winnie Wincent Inwasion" is in reference to the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent formed the Invasion after leaving KISS.
"Schlaugh-ter" is probably meant to be a reference to Slaughter, a hair metal band formed near the end of that genre's mass popularity. Interestingly enough, it was formed mostly out of former members of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
"Vinger" is more than likely a reference to Winger, an oft-ridiculed hair metal band most famous for songs such as "Headed for a Heartbreak."
MTV had a show called the Heavy Metal Half-Hour in 1987. It later became the Hard 30, then disappeared entirely.

VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS / Vinnie Vincent / 3 Speed's version of Back on the streets from this movie..
Listen to it at http://danniiparis.com/
This movie is an obscurity but I was lucky enough to find it at my local independent video store and I am a big fan of Pia Zadora so I rented it. It is actually a musical, though very campy and goofy and by no means polished or well-done. However, the atrocity of the film-making is what makes it so much fun to watch. Pia Zadora does her best as Dee Dee, the love interest who wants to be a rock star and she has many hilarious musical sequences, perhaps the best being "Real Love" and the hit duet "When the Rain Begins to Fall" with Jermaine Jackson. If you like a good flop and some strange 80's new wave music, then rent this and you will be laughing and scratching your head for days.

'10 Reasons Vinnie Vincent Invasion Crushes Your Skull'
1) Paul Stanley gave to Vinnie Vincent the sign of the Ankh. On his face Vinnie painted this Egyptian symbol for everlasting life. Stanley was wise, given the departure of Space Ace, to acquire a virtual immortal who would, and will, live forever.
(2) After writing “Lick It Up,â€

I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

It's very difficult for me to read anything in a non-sarcastic manner . I'm a bit jaded and have a twisted sense of humor. Only if the individual prefaces their comment can I take it seriously.Batman wrote:That whole thing was funny...I've read it before a long time ago.
Seems sort of sarcastic...but still great humor
