True, that.

How about the Vinnie Vincent Invasion and another video that makes me chuckle for its sheer over-the-top audacity:

(The final 45 seconds are classic absurdity)

Some folks may remember Vinnie from his brief stint in Kiss (he played on "Lick It Up," the band's first "unmasked" album). But he really went off the rails with this solo project that featured Mark Slaugher (yes, that Slaughter) on ear-piercing vocals, Dana Strum (who went on to play with Slaughter's band) on bass and Bobby Rock from Nitro on drums.

These guys were technically good musicians, unlike many of the hair bands, but the lame attempt to be "outrageous" and big-hair glammy is pretty amusing.
