Music KISSTORY - Page 11

Seems you cant look at Yahoo these days without seeing atleast one story about KISS... stuff about the Rock HOF, links to a huge Rolling Stone article etc.

It got my juices flowing for all things KISS, spent a good bit of last night watching concerts and clips, it all reminded just how freakin cool these guys were... they are directly responsible for my love of rock n roll and I'm far from alone, everyone from Garth Brooks to Pearl Jam (Mike McCreadys solo on Alive is aped from Ace Frehleys solo on She) consider them huge influences.

Its a disgrace that it took them this long to get into the Hall... they've sold more albums than The Who, Van Halen and The Doors, among many others.

So this thread is for all of you aging KISS ARMY fanatics out there, post up your favorite song, cover by a modern rock act or complete concert, interviews or whatever.

This is funny:

"This was also the period when Eddie Van Halen allegedly asked Gene Simmons if he could join Kiss, an anecdote Gene has told approximately 4,000 times and Eddie has told approximately never."

Anthrax knew the deal...

Every time the camera pans to Gene you can see him seething about it, he never got that sometimes rock stars are SUPPOSED to be crazy and irreverent, that it adds to the mystique to be that way... dudes the stiffest rock star of all time.

I can see your point with hind site and all but in the 70s the ****in guy spit blood up on stage.
At the time gene Simmons was the wildest shit white kids from main street USA had ever seen.

No doubt about it, Mo... Simmons was the scary one, he made scary mainstream if that makes any sense.

But the guy had no idea how to be in a rock band in spirit, he was a good businessman, decent bassist and world class coozehound... but watching the vid I posted and the second part its like "damn dude, you're part of the craziest shit to ever grace the earth and you're mad because you're guitarist is acting crazy?!... its only rock n roll you stiff ass Jew!

He's up there acting like he's wanting to be on "Meet The Press"... no, Gene... you're in a damn rock n roll band.

Nonetheless, I'm damn glad to see the reclusive MoHillbilly chiming in.
