A former guitarist with Kiss has lost a Supreme Court appeal regarding a royalties dispute with the rock band. Vinnie Vincent, who was in Kiss between 1982 and 1984, and briefly in 1992, claimed he was owed royalties for his contributions to 1983 album 'Lick It Up', but a lower court ruled that he was a salaried member of the band at the time that long player was recorded, and that he wasn't due any royalties from his work on it. He appealed that ruling but the US Supreme Court this week refused to consider his case, basically bringing to an end his legal attempts to win a royalty pay off from the rest of the Kiss enterprise.
