I saw one time Kiss auditionee Adam Bomb play a gig in my hometown of Barrow in Furness last night, he closed his first set with two Kiss songs, Duece and Firehouse. He was very good, can't half play!
He has quite an extensive UK tour, well worth checking out.

Re: Adam Bomb
Dont like the guy....remember the KISS expo he was at and he came off as a abit of a knob....actually let me rephrase that a total knob!
Took one quick look at his merch stand and he tried to flog me everything on it... and wouldnt take no for an answer. Literally was like "go on have it" "half price" on and on. NO fook OFF!!!
At a KISS expo because he auditioned for the band? So what.....jeezz probably 100/200 or more have for different slots in the band over the years and probably a tonne more talented.
Rant off.

Re: Adam Bomb
Remember that performance, but my fave memory of seeing Adam Bomb (and the only other time I've bothered) was at a gig in Edinburgh about 3 years ago. I was there to support the local band I love called Peep Show. They were opening the night, there was another band on after them who I'd never heard of (local, myspace type of band I think) and then Adam Bomb was headlining. This how the evening went:dtkdemongene wrote:+1.... total knob jockey.

Peep Show play for 30mins to a crowd of around 50
Next band play for 30mins to a crowd of around 35 (some of Peep Show's fans have already buggered off to the bar cause there isn't one open in the music room or gone of to find somewhere cheaper to drink)
Adam Bomb plays for 1hr to a crowd that starts off around 30 and quickly dwindles to about 10, 3 of whom are his entourage. I say he played for an hour, I'm only guessing cause I gave up after the first song. Meanwhile security have chucked out one of Adam's roadies for trying to get to know a young girl intimately in the ladies toilets.
Ah, the rock n roll lifestyle of an international rock star - NOT!

Did he play 'Pissed'? That's a great song.

Re: Adam Bomb
I try not to go see him these days. I can never get rid of him.
He was playing Yardbirds in Grimsby last night.....was half expecting him to turn up on my door step.
He's very entertaining when he's sober and not covered in Bolivian marching powder.

Re: Adam Bomb
I saw him a few months back in a small pub near me, I was in the main front bar and heard the intro to 'Firehouse' and thought I'd go to the back/music room and there he was.
He was clearly pissed (and the rest) as he took about two minutes to light some lighter fluid he'd squirted over the drummer's cymbals. It didn't look very good even once he had managed to get it lit. I mean, seriously, what kind of person has trouble lighting lighter fluid with a lighter?
It was also so insanely loud as to be literally unlistenable. I like loud, don't get me wrong, but this was just stupid.

Re: Adam Bomb
I love the way he's billed as once being in KISS. 
Some of us have some rather 'choice' moments with him - mine are no exception. Lets just say he seemed only to care that he didnt have a support when I had to cancel My support with him in Leicester in 2004 cus My Grandmother had died holding My hand in Leicester Royal infirmary not 2 hours before I went to inform the venue manager of My impeding 'no-show', and Adam had evidently just arrived....
Thanks for your sympathy, U c**t.

Re: Adam Bomb
Did he actually sell the "Eric Carr boots"
Nick & Rick from Nottingham and I were in deep conversation - how much these were worth - if they were the real deal.
I see him as a sad, slightly pathetic person ... who had his tiny slice of limelight and is trying to milk of connections, relationships as much as he can.
This is only hear-say, if it is true that he got Steven Adler re-hooked on heroine or cocaine - then his kudos as being a guitarist who was once interviewed for the kISS slot - goes out of the window.

The Kings had a decent enough crowd for Adam Bomb, busier than the last few times I've been in there.
Not sure if he playes Pissed, I'm not familiar with his songs.
