Some people just go out of their way to go after Vinnie. This clown has to be one of the worst. What's funny is how often he says things that contradicts what he's said prior.
Odd, how he claimed it was Vinnie and the success of "Lick It Up" which obviously lead to the momentum of Animalize doing well. Animalize was such weak album. But it sure benefited from LIU's monster success.
Also, maybe one reason "Missing You" didn't do is well as it should have had to do with John Waite screwing up the song and not doing it as Vinnie had written it. He admitted in that one video one poster put up changing the song up. Maybe John should be blamed for not doing it as Vinnie had done it.

That song was massive in the 80’s.It's funny how Vinnie (or "Vinnie") always loves to say that "Animalize" was a hit because it ran on the momentum of "Lick It Up", obviously stressing how "momentum" is so influential, meanwhile "Missing You" hit #1 and all "Tears" could do right after it was barely crack the top-40. So even the momentum of "Missing You" and Vinnie co-writing "Tears" couldn't make "Tears" anything more than a very minor hiccup in comparison.

Either way, "Animalize" definitely was the last "major/big" studio album release by Kiss IMO, where the sales were really good and the timing was just right.Animalize was the "last word" on those who thought KISS wouldn't survive losing Vinnie Vincent.They did survive, but they didn't thrive. I don't doubt that Vinnie's contributions to Kiss absolutely were major factors in their recording momentum leading to the success of "Animalize" (plus an awesome first single with HOF), but Kiss did indeed go on the downswing after this album. Oddly enough, they sort of rebounded briefly with "Crazy Nights" (album sales, not the tour), but I wonder what could have been if Vinnie kept at least writing with them.
