Eric Singer on DVDThe Alice Cooper - Brutally Live DVD is out now featuring Eric Singer, and quite good it is, too. It is a recording of a concert many of us may be familiar with - it was
recorded at the Hammersmith Appollo last July. I am quite pleased at the amount of coverage Eric gets on the DVD. I am also quite proud of myself as my voice can be clearly heard telling the guy who shouts 'F*CK OFF KISS' at the end of Eric's solo to kindly sit down, in the nicest possible manner, of course.

Legal Racket's KISS night
[From:
Jez, Legal Racket]Thought I would send you an email of our Kiss night we have just done in Bahrain in the Middle East. We are a covers band from Scarborough UK named "Legal Racket", playing a bar called Diggers 6 nights a week until May.
Anyway we thought it would be a cool idea to do a Kiss tribute night. Here are a few pics for you.

Richie
Scarlet news
[From:
Paul Newcomb]Richie is still working on the new album and it looks like May now for UK release. Ace and the legendary Leslie west look set to guest on the same track if all goes well. They get on really well together and always have a great laugh. Ace was up at Richies last week, he lives at Mill Brook studios.
Richie has today left for about 10 dates with Leslie and then in March they
are off to Canada with Lynyrd Skynyrd for 3 weeks. Richie expects to be in UK in the
summer firstlty with Mountain and may stay over to do some solo dates.
Men & MotorsQ. When is the only time U can watch the Granada Men & Motors Channel?
A. When y'missus goes out with her mates.
Such an event happened last Friday. So there I was watching some trash on Men & Motors - some 'glamour girl' (loose term) talking about how she got in2 the glamour industry - anyway, this bird was talking about how Men & Motors had put 2gether
a girl band called 'Rock Fillies' and she was in it. 'How very naff' I thought 2 myself. So, that Manchester bloke who used 2 be on 'The Word' (can't remember the guy's name) was asking 'Rock Fillies' some questions when he comes out with 'Your 1st song is a KISS song isn't it?' At which point I spit out my beer and scrabble around 4 a tape (I wasn't taping it already, honest...) just as he says "Is it 'I Was Made 4 Lovin' U'?". Well, anyway, cue one interesting club-style version of IWMFLY with 4 female singers. BIZARRE! Actually, it was quite reminiscent of the version recorded by unknown Aussie act 'Mr Saturday' a few years ago....
And as an even less tenable link 2 KISS try watching 'High Fidelity' with Jack Cusack (out now on video!) and listen out 4 the wonderfully gorgeously Welsh Catherine Zeta-Jones talking about "Gene Simmons of KISS" in the background
when she 1st appears on screen...
Toodle-oo.

has impressed a lot of fans... and upset a lot too. Good luck
