IMHO, no melody or harmony, just random notes.

He has a very good control of the instrument. I love how he incorporated a violin sounding volume swells in the shred.. Something I seldom hear in shreds. Also good control of the whammy bar. He is the most Thrash Metal guitar player in Kiss. I think they chose him that time because 80s is all about fast guitar solos..

Awesome shred with some moments of frustration. A band like kiss should've been able to tolerate these moments in a song like this & backed him up. I know for a fact Eric would've loved it! Anything goes in rock n roll, give'em his moment. Remember, one for all & all for one.👍

Vinnie es el mejor así sea extremo todo lo que hace es perfecto

That is a strange definition of beautiful.

I actually saw Vinnie with Kiss, unlike a lot of people on youtube...but although I'm a huge Ace fan..he was a fantastic guitarist who influenced many players, without being super techni6like say Eddie Van Halen. Vinnie on the other hand played pop and rock before moving on to hard rock and metal. His style is a shredding style that came to it's for in the 1980's ..I saw him in 1983. Hes actually a great guitarist and could have been up there with Randy Rhoads ...Rhoads copied Schenker and Van Halen ( Eddie didn't like Rhoads style but said he was decent enough player). The problem Vinnie had was although he could play technical solos like Rhoads and Van Halen amongst other stuff, he tended to go a little overboard. You could argue this was the style at the time as other guitarists did the same. Yes I agree. He also was hard to get along with ( tell me of a guitarist who isn't?) All in all if he was in a band with more personal lyrics style and better singer than his Vinnie Vincent's Invasion band I think he would be talked about in a higher regard.

50 to 60 seconds. How do you go from that intensity to making your guitar sound like a cello? Reason I started playing when I heard my older brothers version of thier debut album. And then I heard randy rhoads and I was all in

I saw Kiss on the Dressed To Kill tour in NY when I was 17. Just before Alive 1 came out. They kicked ass. I saw Vinnie with Kiss in the early 80s. I never heard of him at the time. I thought he was alright. Even though he was no Ace Frehley on guitar. Ace had feel. Vinnie was all flash. But he was ok on guitar that night. I think people are a little hard on him after all these decades. I never got to see Kiss with Bruce or Tommy. But from the videos, Bruce was good. Tommy? I'm sure he's a good player but....Remember this people. Nobody played Ace licks like Ace. Just put on the first three albums again. frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan
