This is it - Dan Hartman with Vinnie Vincent (Promo Video)

[moonlightsea8]

Is that Hilly Michaels on drums?????

[CYRAPHYM]

Y'all should wiki Dan Hartman and read his bio - RIP Dan!

[reddsledd]

That is GE Smith on bass.

[mm05ish]

the only thing i can say is wtf clad vinnie got over that shit quick

[akeakami2]

i just became less manly from watching this....thank god i have motorhead to bring me back to my oldself

[stainspecialist]

Just fucking yuck

[miles573]

nobody in their right mind should be this happy playing a song as gay as this one. what the hell where you thinking vinnie?

[RayL1983]

This reminds me of videos where you get the boppy yessum black guys. This is the yessum gay guys.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Haha how different it is to see Vinnie like this!!! Amazing what changes were made and how he evolved. :)

[danieliasbeck]

Dan is the man!

[ElvisVlad]

VINNIE IS A BIG ARTIST AND A GENIOUS HE´S BIGGER THAN KISS !!!!! WE LOVE YOU VINCENT .......

[necramoniumdotc0m]

@ElvisVlad you are delusional my friend.

[ElvisVlad]

@necramoniumdotc0m Vinnie saved KISS in 82, 83 and 1992... Creatures of the night album, Lick It Up Album and Revange Album Man !!!!! He´s a Fucking GENIOUS>>>>>

[necramoniumdotc0m]

@ElvisVlad Sure, he is a great guitarplayer and songwriter, but if he was a GENIUS (thats how you spell it), than he would not have his head up his ass and kept suing Gene and Paul about old song from decades ago and actually made new ones. He is self destructive, its also the reason why he got kicked of his label when he was in VVI.

[ElvisVlad]

@necramoniumdotc0m Yes ! He is self destructive but he´s a RockStar

[maziku]

after seeing this i think vinnie was secretly gay until he joined kiss.

[Bassmaster970]

Look at the girl playing the guitar!! Wait, that Vinnie!!

[billyg31]

Cocaine is one helluva drug...............

[jaydavee]

The bass player is also the drummer of Iron Maiden. Just kidding. In this video (on bass) is G. E. Smith. He's one of the more visible or recognizable Saturday Night Live (former) band leaders.

[doogyrevton]

@jaydavee - wow, I was thinking to myself, the bassist kinda looks like G.E. Smith from old SNL. Thanks for confirming.

[MrMedusaLvamp]

Vinnie looks like a cross between Mckinsey Phillips and Don Knotts...DAMN!...THAT WOULD BE ONE UGLY BABY!...and here he is!!!..Vinnie Vincent....Yikes!

[HowieP]

That's future SNL bandleader G.E. Smith on bass!

[MrNigelPreston]

If it weren't for this we wouldn't have had The Muppet Show. Trailblazers. All of them.

[USAF2409]

i dont believe vinnie played this kind of music!

[tommyrock69]

@USAF2409 Get used to it. It was all fake. By the late 70s whatever band or group was being formed, the musicians conformed to make hit music. It was a return to the 50s.  Even Steven Tyler did background vocals to hit songs back in the 60s. He played it straight until making it big as a waste in the 70s.

[lucas2718]

Vinnie lost a lot of cred after his lackluster performance with Kiss. Then his ridiculously over-the-top solo project was just narcisstistic bufoonery. But after witnessing this...well unbelievably embarrassing video, I do believe Vinnie's credibility rating is now sporting a negative number.

[We3CatsR]

LOL Yes, VVI was a BITTTTT different than this.  But, truth spoken nonetheless!!!

[allseeingi]

Where is the version where they went straight from instant replay into this track , it was classy !

[axegrindr9]

Richard Simmons thinks this is GAY!!

[BalooRJ]

Geez, what's with all the hate on this video? Love this song and Dan Hartman is awesome. The video for This is It and Instant Replay is great, it looks like they're just having a blast up there! Anyone hating on here should really get the fuck off the comments section and go watch something else!

[MisatoK29]

@BalooRJ People hate it because it is gay. I guess you are the only one who doesn't hate it.

[capitalistpigdogus]

@BalooRJ Vinnie's fans are afraid of their hidden need to ride Gene's tongue - just as he did.

[puckzilla]

This is one of the gayest things I have ever seen.

[maestrojon]

Wasn't this song written for a tampon commercial?

[thechaircover]

this is gay.

[kb7010]

They could have at least had guitar chords coming out of the guitar and bass guitar to TRY and make it look real.. what a joke... lol

[coketherealthing]

G.E. Smith on Bass

[cowboysfromjerk]

damn it ¡¡¡¡¡ i didn´t know vinnie was part of the patridge family ,hell ¡¡¡¡

[stickfigvslego]

The Phantom's Revenge ^_^

[MisatoK29]

I never realized just how many gays gay bands there were even back then. Maybe most of the gays were just not coming out of the closet back then.

[lucas2718]

Just think, after all of the takes and the editing for the video, at some point those four watched this final product and said, "Damn, that's our finest work! What a catchy song and God, we look great! I can't wait until this is aired everywhere!"

[88Ramses]

RIP Dan Hartman...

[JRJCI]

w000o0o0t??, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, thats vinnie!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[SZPWS1777]

Weakest shit music ever......

[Robotman]

aw come on give Vinnie Vincent a break!! it's cute fun music and come on you talk about "gay?"

KISS only built themselves on wearing MAKEUP and HIGH HEELS ! ! ! later haters!

[StevenTluver4]

gene got jealous that vinnie upstaged him on skill. vinnie doesn't have to paint his face and spit up FAKE blood to sell tickets.

[MrKeith5775]

i went from a Vinnie fan to a Gene Simmons fan so thanks for firing Vinnie Gene

[winter9020]

OMG...!! FROM THIS TO LICK IT UP???

[sunburstshredder]

Vinnie is such a dork.

[6743Peoria]

I like Dan Hartman; and I like Kiss/Vinnie Vincent. Just not together

[celticattack]

I am a huge Vinnie fan.....but this has to be the gayest thing that I ever saw related to VInnie! I could have gone without seeing that....for real. That was gay!

[6743Peoria]

@celticattack Dan HArtman (lead singer/keys) was gay. No, Seriously! I thought that when I saw the video 25 years ago

[MrKeith5775]

i was vinnies biggest fan until i saw this. excuse me while i die

[virtualtoad]

ummm... is that GE Smith on the Bass?

[tk848]

In 1987 I saw Vinnie Vincent Invasion in concert. It was slightly different than this.

[jaydavee]

@tk848 I saw Vinnie Vincent Invasion around that time too. In Atlanta at the Omni, they were openers of Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time tour.

[tk848]

@jaydavee That's the same tour I saw them on.

[miles573]

@tk848 hahahaha. i bet so. thats funny shit.

[ardillero2010]

Kiss!! Ft, Dan Hartman

haha

[MB412]

I believe this is from 1981 or 82, b4 Vinnie joined Kiss, am I correct? 

[THECLARENCES]

Is that G.E. Smith on bass?

[THECLARENCES]

Totally tubular to the max!

xoxo

The Clarences

[metaphysigirl1]

LOVE IT!!! This was the fun energy of the 70's I remember :) Thanks for the memories Dan!

[metaphysigirl1]

LOVE IT!!! This was the fun energy of the 70's, I don't give a rat's ass who doesn't like it :)

[richard5170]

thanks for everything dan miss you so much.

[metalmark2112]

horrible pop at its best(or is it worst) how could they finish taping this, watch it back, and go.........................."y­eah, we look great" its weird that vinnie is known for his guitar playing & this shit song has no guitar.......i cant stop laughing

[buddablz]

This isn't a video you could just stumble upon but there's no way to prepare yourself for what 's about to happen. It just happens. Everything after 0:17 just trips me out. And for that it's awesome.

[reg12269]

wow... ge smith playing classic disco. who is on the bass?

[jline623]

A 70's boy band LOL

[unknowable1968]

this particular dan hartman song has a Peter allen feel to it in my opinion

[CalikoKat]

bass player looks like Herman Munster...but he is sure into it !!!

[d33f4wl7]

This is so frigging GAY!

[Court74]

@d33f4wl7 Actually its so frigging straight......

[d33f4wl7]

@Court74 Genius

[MeteoraXV]

vinnie vincent forever!

[capitalistpigdogus]

Ah Jeez, Dan... I was hoping this was a cover of the same song as Loggins... Oh well, it was still good.

[ShipsAreBurned]

i dont think the bass player good be goofier

[heavymetalweb]

jajajajajajajajajajaj  funny

[007russell1]

BRINGS BACK REALLY REALLY GOOD MEMORIES. FANTASTIC DAN HARTMAN.

russell007

[timothycooper123]

vinny got with bob brock after this great thing! so did steve via johnnywinterand tina turner! free ride! dan is my hard rocker and all arround good vibe dude multi talent

[chancergordy]

it looks a bit claustrophobic and frantic. good song though.

[williewill037]

I thought Dan was great as well as the album, you had Instant Replay ,Count Down and This is It. I saw Dan perform with Lolita Holloway back in 1979 at the Paradise Garage. R.I.P, Dan

[ppaulmorris]

This engenders happiness...it can not be bad if it does.

[NBLP7096]

Very upbeat with positive energy. These guys are fun-loving patriots. They are true heroes.

Anybody who thinks this is gay is a freedom-hating Muslim.

[mattmanmkb]

@NBLP7096 fuck you american

[NBLP7096]

@mattmanmkb fuck you zeally

[beowulven]

@NBLP7096

Yeah, but... Dan Hartman was gay, of course.

[NBLP7096]

@beowulven Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[beowulven]

@NBLP7096

No way!

[NBLP7096]

@beowulven Way,

[beowulven]

@NBLP7096

Way?

[capitalistpigdogus]

@NBLP7096 I can't understand but every fifteenth word, like it should be - on AM radio.. but damn if it isn't happy!

[mmorrison69]

@NBLP7096 Hilarious comment, il bet my right ball that your American, only a yank would say something like that about freedom, ha ha.

[ModernGolfer]

@mmorrison69 - Sounds like a Limey comment.

[bluestrapsify]

worst song ever !

[93Quake]

Lmao at Vinnie. The song sucks tho.

[Hovenaut]

Jesus, KISS without makeup is hideous..........

[strombanni]

 uebershitty

[Acekicken]

IM a fan of Vin but this sucks????

[TurdFurggison]

This video makes me really want to do acid. The colors are trippy and the groovy beat reminds me of a Scooby Doo episode. This would be the perfect time. DAMNIT!

[leoinmass]

Dan was a talent~! good writer. good front guy. but mostly a good composer.

[Mr8bitgamer]

SO VINNIE VINCENT WAS KNOWN before kiss.

[Mr8bitgamer]

Wauw, that was Vinnie Vincent in 1977!

We all remember him as the Metal/Hard Rock Ank Warrior.

[GrandFunker]

My head is spinning...I'm gonna be sick...

[timothycooper123]

hey bob brock vinny played dan did you im lookin u up bob later timmy is still alive and very well am tryin to get alan haynes on line dont have an e mail yet 713 263 4623 not in h town

[ChiamSimmons]

Ummmmmmm. . . . . . . . WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! Who is the girl with the green jacket on? I know its Vinnie, but why??? Sad thing is its catchy.

[JDomo]

This is so GAY and where the hell did the random ugly people come from???

[djdavemick]

One of the true kings of club music--RIP.

[76SRV190]

Happiest man alive! man, he was great! He sure was happy about music!

[Mr8bitgamer]

[GrandFunker]

@Mr8bitgamer read the info!!

[AceOfHeart2012]

Yep. Gay.

[spjunkie]

ha G.E. Smith and "Vinnie" Vincent Cusano. ah the 70's

[johnny2956]

Vinnie Vincent was better with kiss

[bozzy369]

this is the gayest thing i've ever seen!

[oldage1970]

I Know that Vinnie was a great professional musician. He can play everything, with anyone, every style on the earth. Anyway, i can´t stop to laugh.

Vinnie Vincent, where are you ??? come back to spotlight, where´s your place.

[oldage1970]

I Know that Vinnie was a great professional musician. He can play everything, with anyone, every style on the earth. Anyway, i can´t stop to laugh.

Vinnie Vincent, where are you ??? come back to spotlight, where´s your place.

[MrMusicman488]

A great example of FUN music!

[MegaYoker]

 first steps,was right.....

[LeeT44]

Beyond gay. Holy...I mean...wow.....like....wow...t­his is a crossing swords/towel snapping in the shower-type of gay. Knew Vinne had issues.....

[darthinfurnus]

I was in Big Bear, Ca. a few years ago and was staying in a nice hotel. I heard two guys in the next room going at it, thrusting hard and hitting my wall with the bedpost moaning and groaning. That was the gayest thing I'd ever heard.........................­............

until I heard "This is it" by Dan Hartman and Vinnie Vincent!

[Kez1a1]

Cheesy as hell

but..

Great song

[Shawappa]

That's amazingly bad... I couldn't stop laughing!!! Thank you SOOOOOOO much for posting this video...

[rilopilot]

johnny lawrence of the cobra kai by phantom's revenge sampled the hell out of this song

[SuperOxideDimutase]

not enough energy

[beowulven]

This is the gayest thing I've ever heard in my life. And I love it.

[mrfnknowitall]

lol

[tomisboe]

quite weird

[SFAundergrad79]

they must have just dropped acid for this one!

[trolmon]

The fuck is this.........

[fritzkr9]

Great dance song especially when mixed with 'Countdown.' Lots of fun. Other great ones by Dan Hartman: 'I Can Dream About You,' 'Living In America,' 'We Are The Young,' 'Free Ride,' and the dance classic 'Vertigo/Relight My Fire.' Fun times!

[pheet]

"G.E.Smith"also played for "Hall&oats"!

[RedneckSpaceMan]

Woo-ooh! Woo-ooh! Go Go Disco Vinnie! LOL. Anyone recognize G.E. Smith on the Bass? Who's the drummer here? Plz fill me in!

Vinnie's got it alll togethah now!! With his very own Disco clothes, HEY! His shirt's half-open, ta show ya his chain! and the spoon for up his nose, yeah! I wonder who did the sax solo. David Sanborn or Phil Woods maybe?

[LanceATL]

@RedneckSpaceMan I think that's the drummer who ended up playing for Bryan Adams in the 80's, Mickey Curry?

[BasswipeNC]

Well I guess Vinnie bumped the other dude to bass. That dude is a hell of a guitarist also.

[RedneckSpaceMan]

ooo-ooo! ooo-ooo! ooo-ooo! Yeah Yeah Disco Vinnie!

[ziggysbedofroses]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Fieldsfangirl28]

this song is good and I think it's awesome!!

[DavCnuk]

loool, this must be worst song ever! Vinnie looks like gay...

[TheSPACECOWBOY68]

This is how Kiss should've performed during their live shows

[RandyRhoadsisGod82]

vinnie looks like such a douche bag in that video jesus christ i dont know whether to cry cuz this band sucks or to go throw creatures and lick it up out the window im glad he got into metal sheesh paul stanley fits this alot better than vinnie does but of course it was pauls idea for kiss to go DISCO!!! saddest moent in kisstory vinnie vincent joining kiss and settin them where they need to be..best moment in kisstory

[bozz5150]

no wonder KISS fired vinnie....gene found this

[HolyRoller478]

ROFL!!!  :)

[HamerScarab1]

@bozz5150 hahaha... omg I lol'd

[believin13]

@bozz5150 lol. thats too funny. but this isn't the real reason Gene fired him

[champdog76]

I think I need to go wash my eyes out with soap now...

[MrMedusaLvamp]

MY GOD!!!! I thought it was Mr. Roper from Three's Compony with a wig on.....It scared me something aweful again....just like the first time I saw her play live with KISS.....I wanted to run out of the concert hall I was so scared!!!!!

[SFAundergrad79]

HAHA, this is true! Wow, this is horrible!

[Browningauto5magnum]

these guys look like they are standing on a fire ant hill with all the bouncing and jumping around

[mrspeed41]

Vinnie fits perfectly in that gay band!!!

[eddielives100]

Paul Stanley would fit in well too.

[bananajuuice]

Dick

[92jpc]

This song is not to be confused with Michael Jackson's song "This is it".

[scalonzo1]

vinni vincent looks like some kind of freak

[DoubleXmagnum]

Vinnie's checking out the outro solo on keys thinking: "Man, I should be the one to shred on this!"

[durandsynkula]

If Hell had a soundtrack, this song would be on it.

[terrorizerr1]

holy fuck i crap my pants! lol

[tiituk]

this is it needs countdown

[shattner1]

@Jendall714 - that was awesome! come and knock on our door. take a step that is new...

[ole9872]

Can anyone tell me a bit about the band `Treasure` that Vinne made ansd album with in 1977!?! I need an answar fast as possible. Please! Thanks!! :) Peace

[Whackooyzero]

@ole9872 It's been a year since you posted this comment so I don't know if this comment will be at all useful to you but here I go anyway:

The album Vinnie did with Treasure is on youtube if you simply look up "Vinnie Vincent treasure". It's actually not that different than this only marginally less gay sounding. The solos he plays on it are really melodic and out of character for Vinnie as well.

Also, he sings lead on it too.

[RedneckSpaceMan]

ooo-ooo! ooo-ooo! Yeah Yeah Disco Vinnie! Yeah! Vinnie's got it all together now! With his very on Disco clothes Hey! His shirt's half-open t'show ya his chain! And the spoon for up his nose! Vinnie's really something! That's what I really say! So smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink! As we dance the night awaaayaaayyyya! Vinnie's a disco foo-woo-woo-woo-wooll!

[wixibixi]

vinnie looks like a 15year old boy

few years later with kiss

heavier than hell !!!!!!!!!

when see this you can´t belive it :-))))))

[CzarColossus]

This is F---ING HILARIOUS!!!!!

[tonfan]

Dan was a talented musician-yeah the song is cheesy but the guy can sing-also he was a great rock bassist (Edgar Winter)...RIP Dan....

[kliff215]

totally cheesy! and not in a good way

[Moneyshotm]

Was that Will Lee from David Letterman on bass? Either way cocaine is a helluva drug. And Vinnie does look like Janet off Threes company.

[JPGR66]

not will lee, but g.e. smith from saturday night live and hall and oats. blah!

[jnorton1]

Sounds just like KISS!! It sucks.

[JENDALL714]

Vinnie went on to play "Janet" on Three's Company.

[RedneckSpaceMan]

Check out Vinnie-O with his mustach-e-o!!

Go Go Disco Vinnie!!

Isn't that G.E. Smith on Bass?

[MetalHeart8787]

Yeah its funny vinnie had the same corny moves back then

BUT Hey what were YOU doing musically in the 70's or ever look at your opics from the

70's? IF you were around then. It actually shows Vinnie got "tougher" Listen to lick it up & the first 2 Invasion Tapes.

[Warthogfan]

Lol Vinnie the disco fag.
