▁in ▁the ▁recording ▁of ▁the ▁album . ▁Vincent ▁was ▁not ▁leg ally ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁band . ▁Due ▁partly ▁to ▁disput es ▁over ▁what ▁his ▁role ▁in ▁the ▁band ▁and ▁his ▁pay ▁would ▁be ▁( some ▁reports ▁indicated ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁asked ▁for , ▁and ▁was ▁flat ly ▁denied , ▁a ▁percentage ▁of ▁the ▁band ' s ▁gross ▁prof its ), ▁Vincent ▁never ▁signed ▁any ▁contract ▁making ▁his ▁employ ment ▁official . ▁These ▁disput es , ▁along ▁with ▁a ▁growing ▁attitude ▁by ▁him ▁that ▁he ▁was ▁sole ly ▁responsible ▁for ▁the ▁res urg ence ▁of ▁K iss , ▁would ▁lead ▁to ▁him ▁leaving ▁the ▁band ▁( or ▁being ▁fired , ▁depending ▁on ▁the ▁source ) ▁after ▁the ▁European ▁leg ▁of ▁the ▁L ick ▁It ▁Up ▁tour . ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁band ▁unable ▁to ▁secure ▁a ▁replacement ▁guitar ist ▁on ▁such ▁short ▁notice , ▁Vincent ▁was ▁ent iced ▁to ▁return ▁for ▁the ▁American ▁leg ▁of ▁the ▁tour ; ▁however , ▁his ▁ref us al ▁to ▁sign ▁his ▁contract ▁continued ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁s ore ▁point . ▁A ▁major ▁r ift ▁developed ▁between ▁him ▁and ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁band ▁over ▁his ▁guitar ▁sol os . ▁What ▁were ▁supposed ▁ 5 – 8 ▁minute ▁sol os , ▁tim ed ▁to ▁finish ▁on ▁a ▁c ue ▁so ▁that ▁Paul ▁Stanley ▁could ▁introduce ▁the ▁next ▁song , ▁suddenly ▁expanded ▁in ▁some ▁instances , ▁leaving ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁band ▁imp at ient ly ▁waiting ▁on ▁stage ▁for ▁Vincent ▁to ▁finish . ▁ ▁At ▁an ▁LA ▁Forum
