The Invasion Talks Back

In response to Dennis Hunt’s Pop Faces item on Mark Slaughter (in which Slaughter spoke critically of his days in the Vinnie Vincent Invasion), please let me clarify and correct the misinformation presented regarding the band.

The Invasion is not “defunct” and never has been since the group’s inception five years ago. In fact, I have spent the past six months in the studio with Vinnie Vincent recording the forthcoming album “Pyro Messiah,” which will see the light of day in early 1991.

As the original lead singer for the Invasion, I find it offensive that some beginner would have the audacity to lip-sync to my voice, which is exactly what (Slaughter) did for the band’s first video. People in glass houses. . . .
