They were booed unmercifully. (Vinny Vincent was Kiss' second guitarist after Ace Frehley left)
ha ha! WOK AND WOLL KWAZY NIGHTS!!

My awful Iron Maiden opening band was WAYSTED. This was band was started by Pete Way (ex UFO) after he left Fastway (yes, he was the "Way" in Fastway, along with "Fast" Eddie Clark, ex-Motorhead). He was basically in Fastway long enough to form the band, from what I remember.

Anyway, they sucked hippo balls. I'm glad I didn't buy their album, because I bought a LOT of bad albums back then!

I really wanted to see Queensryche open.. that would have been the ultimate concert for me when I was 17...
