4.0 out of 5 stars Vinnie Vincent's second solo album! More prime 80's metal!, March 12, 2005

With this album i am sorry to say that Robert Fleischman is no longer on vocals.I think he is one of the best vocalists ever.He can hit high notes that only you can dream about.With that said You must buy Vinnie's First album as well.It's a pure masterpiece.Not only is his first album the best of 1986,but it's the best album of all time I think.People always say he was an egomaniac/as*hole,but the man has talent.So to all you out there who bash Vinnie I say this Fu*k You!I now talent and good music when I hear it and Vinnie is a genius at what he does.
1.Ashes to Ashes(10/10)Vinnie's guitar work sounds great.Slaughter sounds good on this one!
2.Dirty Rhythm(10/10)Another catchy party fun song.This is a great 80's metal song.
3.Love Kills(10/10)One of the best ballads that you'll ever hear,but this song is sometimes cut on certain cd releases.If you come across the Nightmare on Elm Street 4 soundtrack,you'll find the uncut version of Love Kills on there!
4.Naughty Naughty(9/10)More party harty fun with this one.You gotta love the 80's!
5.Burn(10/10)Great song.Vinnie shreds it up on this one.His guitar riffs and hooks are so well placed and executed!
6.Let Freedom Rock(8/10)Good song.This one's an anthem rocker!
7.That Time of Year(10/10)WOW!Excellent song,one of the best around!
8.Heavy Pettin(8/10)Another solid song,not the best,but has great guitar work.
9.Ectasy(7/10)Not too good,but I'm a big Vinnie fan so I can take this one.You might not be able to though unless your a fan!
10.Deeper and Deeper(8/10)More great guitar work.marks' vocals are decent.I still prefer Fleischman though!
11.Breakout(7/10)This one is not the best,but Not bad though!
12.The meltdown(5/10)Bobby Rock's Drum Solo!2 minutes long.
13.Ya Know I'm Pretty Shot(5/10)Acoustic guitar track with no vocals.Vinnie can play,but I don't care for this track too much!
Overall I say this album is well worth owning.This album is a good time of fun and excitment.This is real music!Also try to find Vinnie Vincent's 1996 EP titled Euphoria.He has Fleischman on vocals again,but it's only 4 tracks long!Well worth the money though if you can find it!
Live on forever Vinnie Vincent Invasion!

4.0 out of 5 stars rare gem, March 12, 2009

Vinnie Vincent was a rare gem within the 80's rock genre. His songwriting ablility and razor-edge guitar work ran circles around KISS, who'd made a big mistake in not making him a full-time member (considering how much he contributed to the band during his tenure there).
I'm a huge KISS fan, and would never take anything from any of the members that have existed throughout the band's career. However, the way Vincent was treated while a member represented the chink in the armor of the legendary band.
All Systems Go is not much different from the previous album. Well-written rock lyrics, Blazing fuitar work, and a catchy rythm are all present. It was a winning formula, and it's sad that he did't get the acolades he deserved in his solo career.

3.0 out of 5 stars WHY DID THEY EDIT "LOVE KILLS"?!?, January 28, 2009

This review is from: All Systems Go (Audio CD)

First off, I am a huge KISS and Vinnie Vincent fan. His work with KISS was outstanding and the first Invasion release, while WAY over the top with glam metal cheese, was amazing. With "All Systems Go" though, he seemed to jump on the late 80's extremely polished hair metal train and came up with a CD that lacks any punch. It fits in perfectly with the likes of Winger and Warrant. It's not bad, just nothing special. Still has great nostalgia value for me.

One question though. WHY did they edit "Love Kills"? The part at the end of the guitar solo where Mark Slaughter sings " Love's Dying ...etc." is cut out completely and the part toward the beginnig of the song where he sings "You're a lifetime ago and...etc." is also cut out. WTF?
