Poor Vinnie Vincent, he left Kiss on bad terms...correction, he was flat out fired for being a show-off. Then created a new band that was really damn good, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. But he again, was 86'ed, as his record label liked the singer and bassist, better then him. So Out of the ashes of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion came Slaughter.

And smart move on the record label's part, Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum were a hell of a team. They made some amazing riffs on some hard sounds. One hitch in the whole thing was "guy credibility", as all the songs were love songs.  Even after losing the their guitarist, they continued on.

"Up All Night" was the song that put them on the map...and they still are on the map, if you ever see the Rock Never Stops tour.
