I'TS DILEMMA TIME AGAIN!

[thedemostouch]

HI GUYS I'VE GOT THIS PROBLEM I'D LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU GUYS OF KISS IN UK AND I'D ALSO LIKE AN OPINION ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THIS IS RIGHT?
AS I'M KIND OF UPSET ABOUT IT AND I'M FRUSTRATED AS WELL...
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS,OR AM I MAKING TOO MUCH OF A BIG DEAL?

AS YOU ALL KNOW I LEFT HOTTER THAN HELL FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND SO ON AND I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO THAT, WHAT I WANT TO GO INTO IS?...

AS I DON'T LIKE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UNIT ANY MORE OR MORE SPECIFICALLY I JUST PLAINLY WANT OUT!!
AND I'M THE TYPE OF GUY THAT ONCE SOMETHING IS OVER I DON'T LIKE TO LEAVE LOOSE ENDS HANGING OUT AND OR TIES THAT BRING ME BACK TO THAT SITUATION, CALL ME WIERD BUT IT'S THE WAY I AM! AND WHEN I START OVER I LIKE TO GO AHEAD WITHOUT LOOKING BACK!
OK I HEAR YOU SAY.
GET TO THE POINT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SO THIS IS THE SITUATION...
I HAVE WRITTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN TO THE MEMBERS THAT HAVE REMAINED IN HOTTER THAN HELL ASKING TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR MY PHOTOS (SOLO PICKS MAINLY TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR MYSPACE PAGE) BECAUSE FRANKLY I DON'T SEE ANY POINT THERE BEING MY PHOTOS ON THEIR WEB SITE, I'M NO LONGER IN THE BAND THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET RID AND OR REPLACE MY STUFF WITH MATERIAL OF THE NEW BASS PLAYER (BY THE WAY BASS PLAYER THAT I FOUND AS A REPLACEMENT FOR ME)
ALSO THEY HAVE MY MP3 AS FEATURED SONG!!
NOW I DON'T MIND THE BAND PICKS LIKE THE ONES WITH BOB KULICK AND SO ON I CAN UNDERSTAND THEY ARE PROMO MATERIAL BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY SOLO PICKS SHOULD BE ON THE WEB SITE?
I MEAN ANOTHER REASON WHY I WANT THEM OFF IS BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER ME!!!
PEOPLE ARE SEEING MY PICKS,ME WITH MY COSTUME,THEN WHEN THEY GO TO THE SHOW SOME GUY WITH A fuc*ing T-SHIRT COMES ON! NO BOOTS!! NO NOTHING!!
AND THEY COULD THINK IT'S ME AND I DON'T WANT THAT!!!
THIS IS TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL I TRULY BELIEVE THEY SHOULD SHOW THE BAND AS IT IS AND STAND BY IT AS IT IS! AS I STOOD BY THE BAND WHEN I WAS IN IT!
CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ME SOME KIND OF FORESIGHT INTO THIS SITUATION ?
DON'T YOU GUYS THINK THAT A BLOKE THAT NEVER LET THE BAND DOWN ONCE IN 3 YEARS TRAVELLING FROM ITALY TO THE UK DESERVES A BETTER TREATMENT AFTER I FOUND THE BAND DRUMMERS (5 TO BE EXACT) AND GUITARISTS AND NOW EVEN A BASS PLAYER I MEAN WHAT DO THESE GUYS WANT?
WHY WON'T THESE GUYS REMOVE MY PICKS?
WHAT 'S GOIN ON?

You ain't gonna like what I say matey, but IMHO you are part of the band's history and, as such, I see no reason why they shouldn't keep the pics up.
Sorry I couldn't say what you wanted to hear, but you asked!!

I say, move on.

[thedemostouch]

i'm talkin about the solo picks of just me not the band picks! why don't they put picks of the new bass player? and get rid of mine! i understand that i'm part of the history but they can't have people thinkin' that there's gonna be a guy in costume at the show and then another guy shows up with a shirt on!!get what i mean? I would say you are right if it were that my picks were mixed in with the other guys but they're not there's only my picks!

[RippingFleshFromBone]

You're not gonna like this either!!

At the end of the day you were in a tribute band...the real KISS don't seem to have any problem using Ace & Peter to sell product, or whatever, so why should you?

No ones gonna be bothered who they see up on stage when they see HTH!

Have a nice cup of tea and CHILL!!!!!...

Just let it go mate!!!

[w00dy]

Well i saw them (and guested with them)a few weeks ago and Marzio was wearing a costume that wasn't too bad at all.

Like Martin said...you're part of the bands history and i'm sure they get around to replacing the photos of you.Just don't let it bother you so much and forget about it.
The less you think about it,the more you can get away from it which is what you want right?

[thedemostouch]

I suppose you guys are right it's just that i can't understand why if you continually write to someone asking can you get rid of my picks? why they just don't do it and be done with it!
In the end it's probably the fact that they aren't listening that's pissing me off more than anything but still i'm mad over it! fu*k 'em i guess you guys are right!
Ha...Ha...Ha...

Thanks for that i will give it a try!!! and i just want to say sorry to the guy above sorry i got pissed dude i mean i know you're trying to help and all that!! and actually having kind of talked it over with you guys really has helped me! I guess i am turning this into a big deal when it's really nothin' in the end it's just a "stupid tribute band" i'm the one takin' it too seriously for those other guys it's just a piss up at the pub in the end, I was always the one hassling we should go into studio and rehearse and they'd say "don't worry about it!" like when we played the Cavern i made them rehearse 6 weeks straight twice a week i was obsessed!! I was playing the Cavern i was travelling to the UK to play the Cavern I went to bed with my bass guitar!! The Beatles,Kiss the whole thing the Liverpool Festival i just pushed and pushed
we even blew Bob away!!
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=g0LhVCtZWnk
The band was really starting to really fuckin' blow some venues apart i loved it!!
check it the good old days!!
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=aQzO0ukTxa8
it's just that the lead singer liked to belt down a few too many and i didn't like that i want total professionalism and i expected it to! You can't be hitting wrong chords from drinkin' to much!
But you're right in saying get over it and move on i mean i am doing just that!! and i really wished that they'd do the same
I've got nothing personal about the guys in the band but i just wish they would promote the band as it is now and leave me out that's all!!!
i gave my best i had to give at every gig for 3 years i keept the band goin' when it was falling apart i found replacements i took care of booking plane tickets and god knows what else! If Hotter Than hell still exists it's thanks to me!

So good he sent it twice.


A stupid tribute band?
Think about how you might feel in a few years time. I've never seen HTH live (circumstances rather than choice) - but I've seen DTK loads of times and have had some kick-ass nights. I am sure there are loads of peeps that can say the same thing about HTH.

TBH, whilst you might not understand that now, in a few years time you might be proud of the fact that you were part of that. It is one of the things I admire about any entertainer - especially rock musicians.

In a few years you might be glad that your role is still recognised in their photos.

[Frehley75]

Haven't read all of this but the message seems to be clear...

Let It Go.

[thedemostouch]

you must be joking right?
"in a couple of years i'll be glad to be recognized in their photo's "
do you have a life or what?
Well i've still got one of the lead singers towels that he dryed his sweat on for that matter i guess i'll cuddle up with that when i get lonely!!ha...ha...ha....
somebody please get this moron out of here!!
this sounds like kerry to me......the girl they used to make sit in the closet remember?
someone give him/her a get back to reality pill!!
I mean...
What is this ? who is this? are you some friend of marty's by any chance?
for god's sake shut the fu*k up will ya!!

If you don't get it they are using my picks to pubblicize their band!!
and i'm the one that wants them to get rid of my picks even at the price of making the biggest mistake in my life and risking that they never speak to me again, oh my god!
i'll try to deal with it i guess even if in a few years i'll realize my huge mistake! and feel terrible for ever but for now that would suit me fine!!
If they're such a hot unit why are my photos being used? if they've got the balls then why don't they show it and go on with out me and dump my picks from their web site it's that easy.
i'm not complaining!!!

p.s. i've also got a photto the singer autographed for me with written on it.
"Without me you would be nothing" i keep it close to my bed and thank god every day i can spend even just a minute looking at him.
You are so right thanks for that piece of advice. now i know where i went wrong in the band, i stood up for my self when they tryed walkin' all over me! next time i'll use your method i'm sure you've got loads of friends!
