Late to this, but yeah, Mark was such a nice guy when I got meet him at a signing at Club La Vela in 1998. I must have talked to him about BBQ and kids for like 10 minutes as others were moving down the line for signatures. Wish i had gotten a picture.

I like how Mark took the high road about what Vinnie said about him. Bobby Rock did the same thing in his interview. Genuine men

Known Mark for years, had the honor of opening a show he did in Vegas in the early 90's at a small club, where he gathered up about a dozen stars, including Brad Gillis, and man others where we all just jammed all night long. Had met Mark many times, as he was a guitar teacher at Vesley music in Las Vegas before the VVi thing. His old band Excursion got to open for Stryper when he was really young. Most las vegas rockers and musicians back then knew Mark as just another on of the guys around town. Very down to earth, no ego at all. Him and Tim and Blas would show up to random events like country fairs and such. I remember hangin with Tim and his brother on the midway of the Jaycee state fair. When Slaughter wasnt on tour the guys would frequent concerts and clubs, I ended up in the seat next to Blas at a Winger show, where he grabbed myself and my guitar player after the show to ask us to open their all star show. I hear he now lives in Nashville, im just 20 miles south of there these days. Wonder if I should look him up.

Yea, he taught at Vesley and my brother taught at DePaulis at the same time. My brother had a band called Saber there. Mark is a cool cat.

Met Mark some time ago, l work at his record company at the time, he was one of the most down to earth guys l have ever met and l gotta say one of the greatest rock vocalist ever, dude has some chops, it's no joke, crazy range

I love Mark! He is so genuinely kind and down to earth.

best voice of the early 90s hands down

This is an example of a real bad ass. He is confident and has some class. Wow, he has not changed at all. Mark has always had class and has always been a killer singer. Thumbs up Mark.

Mark, I want to thank you for not only being an extremely talented musician but playing the benefit for the two kids who lost their lives. And for talking with me, and putting my B.A.C.A, Bikers Against Child Abuse sticker on your guitar case. Salute my friend. From, this American, Army Veteran, Patriot and Christian. Cheers! 🍻

At 50 (I know my 80's rock) and Mark you've done serious justice for our genre. But what REALLY got me, was when your logo came out on that multi 80s fest, as the "Red" Country As a.... "SLAUGHTER" in the midterms... Fkn hilarious. It's just great to see when you "Hollywood " (or Nevada) "types" truly get what's Actually going on in our country... Thank god for guys like you that have the "mic" that fkn GET IT! (J. D. & the boys from Korn ALSO come to mind..) great work my friend. (vicent's likely a lib, so......) wah! wah! waaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

I'm glad the question was asked and I'm glad Mark took "the high road", LOL Let's be honest, Vinnie has not released any music, while Mark and Slaughter have released a lot of music since VVI disbanded all those years ago. Vinnie can choose not to recognize Mark but Vinnie really should concentrate on learning how to play guitar again or become a lot more modest.

exactly what happened when Slaughter went his own way ????

Mark is a gentleman! a great singer.

His comment about Mark being generous and as a fan supporting Slaughter for the rest of his life, I feel the same way 100%. Slaughter and Firehouse (Bill Leverty talked to me for like 10 minutes about guitars and songs at a signing at a show in at the Pensacola Fairground in 1998) are the two bands that gave me personally amazing fan experiences outside of the music part of the show; they're highlights i wont forget.

Well said Mark!

much respect. 1988, move on. Mark was thrown into a situation at a young age, but moves forward over 30 years.

Respect to Mark. What a legend !

Mark Slaughter is a Super Human Being!!! Not a more genuine person in music…🤘🏼👍 Fly Bro!!! 🙏

Met Mark and the band when they opened up for kiss in Tampa. Met them after the show at mons Venus. They were super cool and nice.

Mark Slaughter is such a beautiful soul

You are such a genuine soul

It figures cool things happen in Indy after I move away! One of my favorite albums was by Slaughter! They had their own sound and that's memorable!

I met Mark in 1996 after a really bad show by Vince Neil but Mark was super humble and took a few minites to talk to 22 year old me about the chords for "spend my life"

classy

The best explanation of a rock song i ever heard. Great stuff Mark.

Mark Slaughter is such a nice guy!

Best way to silence your enemies is to live life well. Keep on rockin'!

Class act right there!

Marks the man you got a fly high too the angels

Funny anecdote.. Mark's half-brother lived in the same neighborhood as my wife & I did back in the early 2000s! My wife & I decided to check out an Open House on a Sunday and it turns out that it was Mark's Brother and his wife! The neighborhood was in Fairfax County, VA near Woodson High School!

Saw slaughter at Cherokee survivor's motorcycle rally they put on a hell of a show done meet and greet afterwards great bunch of guys

Well said, Mark. 🤘

Down to earth guy that has indeed taken the High Road

I don’t like his music but the dude seems really cool.

That's class and honesty.

Mark was too kind and reserved. If I were in his shoes, I would've torn Vinnie a new one. Let's face it. The VVI albums were just shred-fests that went nowhere fast. Slaughter had great songs and platinum albums, so it's safe to say Mark came out on top and left Vinnie in his dust.

The first VVI record was an 80s classic. Take away the shredding and you still have great songs! It has the best version of Back on the Street. I also love Boys Are Gonna Rock, No Substitute, Invasion, and Animal. The second album wasn’t as good, but it has some gems: Ashes to Ashes, Love Kills, Ecstasy, That Time of Year, and Deeper. Slaughter had some great songs as well. I’ve been listening to Days Gone By, which has a real Queen-Somebody-to-Love vibe.

and she shit on Derek Christopher who brought her sorry, BROKE ass out of obscurity...Derek ripped off many by allowing his friends in for free at the ATL Expo which in turn caused long lines and paying customers to miss out on the meet and greets that they paid for. Derek didn't deliver all that was paid for (mini guitars, meet and greets and photo ops from VIP paying guest) so I'm not sure if Derek quit Vanessa or she quit him. Seems many people have forgiven transgender warrior for he took money from promoters Phil Elliot and Peter Arquette and was a no-show on some convention stops but I guess they've since forgiven him since they both have been in attendance at various recent appearances and Arquette paid Vinnie for a private signing where it appeared he signed HUNDREDS of photos/posters nd cardstocks that will be sold on his KISS museum website. I'm not aware of anyone quitting his camp for it's just he and the Cro magon looking weirdo, he has for his manager, some monster con/expo fanboy named Randy which I think also doubles as Vanessa's lover? And as for "some" fans, it's hundreds if not more and Vanessa admitted to that in the ATL Q&A and he's yet to make good as he promised but instead sell more crap. Paul Stanley called him out for selling the fake "stage used" guitars that were cheap knockoffs. EDITED I just heard he fired his longtime guitar tech that (s)he gushed about in Atlanta? Seems the unraveling has began!

You're taking the high road, but "You're still making music"? You're at the Expo to make some money. Nothing wrong with it. But, c'mon. Let's deal in reality here. Vinnie is a douche nozzle.

It makes me laugh that no one is questioning why Mark is here in the first place? Eddie Trunk was A&R for and involved with KISS and Ace directly in more ways than just singing on one album... Does that mean he should be at a KISS Expo bad mouthing Paul and Gene? Second of all, is he not here because of Vinnie Vincent? The high road would have been to not show up at all if he's not on the same page with what/whom he is representing at the KISS Expo.

Rob Fleishman was the real Vinnie Vincent Invasion singer. Mark Slaughter is a good man but was all wrong for the Invasion. Vinnie said that Mark coming aboard the Invasion was a decision by the suits at the record company. Bottom line: sad to say but Mark Slaughter was all wrong for Vinnie Vincent Invasion and it's a pity Rob Fleishman never did that second Invasion record.

I dont know why VV its always pissed about his former bandmates..kiss and invasion..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

What does he mean that he's still making music? His last album was in 1999, he hasn't made new music. He's just playing his same old songs. He's still PLAYING music, not make music.

Whoa! Not the same skinny little slaughter he used to be. Q: "Mark, how do you spell muscle?" A: "R - o - i - d - s" And is that even his real hair?
