They put the word out that they required a new singer, and as they shared management with KISS, Gene Simmons recommended an unknown Vinnie Cusano, who was then helping KISS with their "Creatures Of The Night" opus. Although KISS liked Vinnie Cusano, it was felt that his lack of height was a hindrance to joining them as a full-time replacement for Ace Frehley! Vinnie sent New England a tape of his songs, and an audition was set-up. New England liked what they heard on Vinnie's cassette so much that they decided to learn the whole set of songs in preparation for Cusano's audition. The four hit it off, but it was obvious that this was a new band, soon to be christened Warrior, and not just a seamless continuation of New England. It was also agreed that the four would relocate from Massachusetts to Los Angeles, and began recording the songs that had appeared on Vinnie's demo tape. Fergie Henrikson was brought in to allow Vinnie to concentrate more on guitar. Despite making some very good music, Warrior's career came to an abrupt end before it had even started when Vinnie was offered the opportunity to join KISS full-time, and become Vinnie Vincent, before eventually forming Vinnie Vincent's Invasion. Hirsh Gardner returned to Boston to produce, whereas Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea would stay in Los Angeles, forming Alcatrazz with former Rainbow and MSG vocalist Graham Bonnet and a relatively unknown 20 year old guitarist from Sweden called Yngwie Malmsteen. What we have here is a "what might have been" mini-album of previously unheard, original, classic hard rock by four respected musicians at the top of their game. As well as the original six studio tracks, we've been lucky enough to include five instrumental versions, plus a very rare rehearsal tape featuring the aforementioned Fergie Henrikson. Malcolm Dome's informative and detailed liner notes help tell the story, with the input of band members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea. ## Images ![Featuring: Vinnie Vincent / Jimmy Waldo / Gary Shea / Hirsh Gardner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SBEBsLfDL.jpg) ![Featuring: Vinnie Vincent / Jimmy Waldo / Gary Shea / Hirsh Gardner - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JLs2L8O5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars In case you love Kiss, and want more from Vinnie Vincent. This is well worth it. *by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017* Ok, first let me say I am a huge Kiss fan. I try to get solo projects from all the members, past and present. So Vinnie Vincent, is a very talented man. However, as Gene Simmons says, Vinnie is his own worst enemy. That being said, he has faded away into the realm of forgotten musicians. The man is a recluse now, and that probably won't change in his lifetime. So if you like his music, like I do, (although his image after his time in kiss, was very....how do I put this? He made the band poison look real cool) Not a very good image after Kiss. However, the man can play the guitar, and his voice is awesome. Most people never heard him sing, I say the man's vocal ability is real cool. So what you have here is demos he recorded before his time in Kiss. The first 6 songs feature him on vocals and guitar. (The rest of the band is made up of professional musicians , as this was going to be a real band, until Kiss took him in) the first 6 songs are worth the price of the CD alone. The second set of five songs are instumentals. They sound ok. The last 5 songs were recorded with former one time toto singer, the late Fergie fredrickson. Now the quality of these demos is not the greatest, however the quality is good enough, if you admire Vinnie Vincent, then the CD is a must have, especially the first 6 songs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars *by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018* fan of kiss and vinnie vincent ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars good for collecting but not quality sound *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017* audio not the best --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/51318673-featuring-vinnie-vincent-jimmy-waldo-gary-shea-hirsh-gardner](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/51318673-featuring-vinnie-vincent-jimmy-waldo-gary-shea-hirsh-gardner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
