the minute the people around him started telling him his music was too 'busy' or 'over the top', vinnie should have doubled down and made it even more over-the-top.
vinnie could have brought in a keyboard player, and an fx rack for each of the band members. then they could have gone totally off with a dizzying array of solos, dual, triple, quadruple-solos, and sound effects.
it could have been legendary!
fan, or mangement person, or dana, or mark: 'vinnie you're too busy man!'
vinnie: 'busy this!!!'
eh, just a thought...
another thing vinnie could have done
Re: another thing vinnie could have done
True. Being the artistic type who wanted to do things his way he should have said, stick it, and reformed on a label that supported the music the musicians wanted to make, rather than pandering to hit singles.

Re: another thing vinnie could have done
I like it! 
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! 
Re: another thing vinnie could have done
I like this idea, but also the guy could write a damn good pop song and they were trying to go for "hits". In a perfect world, the first album would be the mainstream public's taste, but it's not. The best thing would've been for Vinnie to have a side project full of jerk off solos and displays of virtuosity and also have the Invasion.
Or combine the two projects, tell Chrysalis and Dana to fuck off, and not care about fleeting, mainstream acceptance.

Re: another thing vinnie could have done
vinnie could have just been 'in your face, forever' and be a bigger legend than he is now.
at least he has that 1 vvi album, and the 2nd album is in similar territory... plus, the demos/ep... not to mention lick it up, etc.
but that first 'invasion' album was the pinnacle imo...

Yes, i have thought about this many many times but his KISSDRAMA thing didn't let him go forward.
Re: another thing vinnie could have done
KISS should've released "On the 8th day" as a single. Best KISS song of the 80s.
