know that he was at the Wembley gig on 25 3 99 Craig has very kindly agreed to answer some questions for the site about being a member of the KISS Army Many thanks to both Craig and Mark Fell Crook from The Craig McLachlan Website for taking the time to get me this exclusive interview and for allowing me to use the pic CM Yes I m happy to talk about KISS Paul very cool to hear from you craig1 jpg 15255 bytes KISS questions you bet happy to Q A friend of mine told me that you were sitting very near him at the recent Wembley gig what did you think of the show CM The Wembley Show Loved it as did thousands of others judging by the vibe in the place I actually spent most of the gig down on the floor partying with the animals it was a blast Q How long have you been a KISS fan Did KISS influence you in starting up your own band CM I first heard KISS at a friends place when I was ten years old Funnily enough I d just received an electric guitar for my birthday only days before I d been learning for a couple of years on an old ropey nylon string and had decided it was time to rock Enter Ace Frehley My mate had a copy of ALIVE I heard the outro solo in DEUCE and that was it By age 12 I was playing Detroit Rock City with a drummer mate of mine and in fact to this day when I m gigging I throw in a fave KISS song Q Have you been to any other KISS shows recently apart from Wembley I understand that KISS were pretty huge in Australia in the early 80 s did you ever attend any of those shows CM Other KISS shows You bet Donnington and Wembley on the Reunion Tour Paul Stanley called me up in 92 while I was in the U K and invited my manager and I along to the Revenge show in Glasgow and yes I was there at the Sydney shows in 80 Q What is your favourite KISS song album line up etc Were you happy to hear about the reunion when it started in 1996 CM I guess my fave line up is the current one the original As a musician I could certainly appreciate the talents of the other members and therefore dig elements of the other line ups but it s a chemistry thing I guess and the four original guys just have that thing Also the actor in me just loves the theatrics and the magic of the make up and craziness So yeah I was delighted to hear they were getting back together And my fave song and album to hard where do you start The thing with KISS is one day you wake up in a Cold Gin kinda mood the next day you find yourself wanting a little Room Service only to find yourself in the Ladies Room Makin Love with something that s Almost Human Ya know what I mean Q Have you ever covered a KISS song If not would you consider playing one live If you were ever asked to appear on one of the many KISS tribute albums would you consider it CM Paul if you hear of another tribute project let me know no pun intended I m there No I haven t formally covered a KISS song on any of my records but I did have the time of my life meeting and writing with Paul Stanley 91 92 in L A Our song writing session basically turned into A KISS jam spanning their entire catalogue up to that point which was after Hot In The Shade We didn t write anything that wound up anywhere but there is a Paul Stanley song performed by me on my solo album Hands Free on Sony So you collectors check it out Q We haven t seen much of you in the UK recently since Bugs what are you up to nowadays Do you still touring with your band CM Since BUGS I ve been working all over the world filming in Canada and Australia doing live stuff too and currently working on all sorts of things here in Oz including a new album with a KISS cover You never know Q Do you ever use the internet to visit KISS sites If so have you ever been to KISSin UK CM Paul I m pretty new to this computer caper but my manager and I have checked out KISSin U K and man it rocks Well done Oh and I do have quite a cute story involving me and Gene Simmons but I m gonna save that for next time Q Finally do you have any KISS stories or a message you want to share with other KISS fans CM Paul and fellow KISS faithfuls it s been a pleasure This is Craig McLachlan with his trusty Gibson Sunburst Les Paul on his lap about to shred through ALIVE 2 I ll be lovin ya and talking to ya soon xxx Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Craig McLachlan Interview 1999 Craig McLachlan Interview 1999 Craig

Diamond series of books, ...%%==%%19735%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Dale Sherman Interview lt lt Click here to view excerpts from Black Diamond 2 gt gt Dale Sherman author of the Black Diamond series of books has kindly given KISSin UK this exclusive interview Many thanks to Dale for taking time out to answer the questions 1 What are you up to now that Black Diamond 1 amp 2 are out of the way is there a third instalment in the works Black Diamond 2 A There was and I had originally planned on starting it during the middle of last year BLACK DIAMOND 3 was going to be a book with just interviews with people associated with the band over the years I even got a few interview done with people like Kenny Kerner Bob Kulick Bruce Kulick and Sean Delaney although that one was actually done by a friend before I decided to pull the plug on the project for the time being The reasons were several but there were three big ones one I found that I needed more time to finish work on a reference book I was doing about Alice Cooper two there is a bit of a glut in KISS books out there right now and I thought it might be best to wait awhile until there would be more demand for a book like the one I have planned and 3 I just felt a bit burnt out After spending eight years getting the two books ready I found that I really wanted to spend some time writing about some other things for a time After I get a few other projects off my chest I ll probably come back to the project Hopefully it will mean that I will find some fresh approach to it and come up with something everyone will enjoy BTW the Alice Cooper book should be out by April 1999 just about the same time as Rhino is releasing a 4 CD box set for Alice by the same publisher If you re a fan I hope you can pick it up After that I plan on taking a break to go after my Master degree in Business I am planning on offering the KISS novel I have written to the band for consideration to be released We ll see about that though and I m not holding my breath on that one 2 Can you give us any information on the UK KISS documentary They Walk Among Us How did you come about to getting involved with it A Well I haven t see the finished film yet myself and I don t want to take away too much from the people who made it I can tell you that it was a project put together by filmmaker Jim Heneghan who had been researching the film for several years I met up with Jim at the 1997 New York KISS convention where I happened to be promoting the release of BLACK DIAMOND 1 After talking for awhile he asked if I would be willing to do an interview with him for the documentary and I said yes The movie is about KISS fans and their dedication to the band From the questions Jim asked me I think it would be a fascinating film I really do hope to see it soon As to how much I m in it though I have no idea I just hope I don t look like a jerk Opps I can already hear the people say quot Too late quot 3 Has your KISS past ever taken you to the UK If so do you have any stories you d like to share Your book isn t a widely available in the UK as it is in the States where can UK fans get hold of a copy A I wish it had I ve always wanted to visit the UK but have never had the chance I am an old fan of British television that is available over here if you don t believe me ask me anything about DR WHO or some of the comedy shows in fact I would love to write a book about the old DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE series but that s another topic for another time Would love to visit and if anyone needed a guest at a KISS con and wanted to pay for the flight I would be over there in a shot Black Diamond As to the availability of the books in the UK I do find that a bit strange I ve known of more people in places like Austria France Germany and even Russia that have found the book in stores than have been able to find it in the UK It s ironic as well as my publisher is located in London but the book seems to be easier to find over here in the US than there for some odd reason That reminds me of the funny feeling I got when I first saw the book in a bookstore in my hometown I thought it was very ironic to write the book here in the States get it published overseas and find it in my local bookstore as an import item Especially as the store advertised is as a quot European bestseller quot when it was written not more than five miles from the store Pretty funny I say if fans have trouble finding it you can always go to my publisher website at www cgpublishing com and you can order it directly from the London office listed there Paul I believe you also have a link on your page so that people can order directly online as well Yup both books are now available direct from the UK in the Online KISS Shop for about 12 each Paul For those in the States or Canada most bookstore chains carry at least one of the two books Try Waldenbooks Barnes and Nobles Borders Tower Records B Dalton besides some independent record and bookstores I believe Virgin was also carrying it for a time but I can t be sure about that Hope that helps 4 Black Diamond 2 is a very concise guide to KISS releases how on earth do you even start to put such a project together Was there a lot of material that had to be left out A It was not easy but you have to start somewhere One of my frustrations over the years as a fan was that I knew there were many variations to KISS albums and singles yet there was really no place to find out about them General rock album guides don t go into the details that we as fans want to know and there certainly were not any KISS books coming out attempting to do so either I have always looked at some of the Beatles books that have come out over the years and thought quot why can t someone do something like that for a band like KISS quot Which is where the idea for the second book came into play I first started with the US discography since it was going to be the easiest to put together there is a lot of available information gathered about these releases than most other countries I then started asking fans in other countries to help putting material together for a worldwide view of the band Russ Humphreys of the excellent and sadly missed fanzine KISS RENEGADES helped out tremendously with the UK discography my friend Danny Best in Australia helped out a lot there and Tito Poza and Shari Custer Poza were the number one people to get info about the Japanese releases Many others helped as well In fact in asking for assistance I only ever ran into a couple of fans that refused to help Shows you the type of friendship that develops between KISS fans I think As to material being left out yes there were certain things that I had to leave by the wayside I really wanted to have a complete concert date listing in the book but I soon found that impossible to really do to the level that I wanted and still keep the book within a realistic page limit BD2 is 400 pages long as it is I also decided to not deal with radio interview discs and interview albums and or CDs as I felt the interest by fans for these was too limited Most of all I m sure there are plenty of countries that were missed having to limit the text to the UK US Japan and Australia Still I hope that BD2 is a start and will interest fans into digging deeper into the odd albums and collectibles If that happens then I have accomplished what I set out to do 5 Did you use the internet as a source of information for any of the books A That s one of the reason why the books took eight years to write I started back in 1989 and did Black Diamond 2 not get my first computer until after the first book was ready to go to print So all the research was done by going to libraries and bugging fans left and right for additional help To show the difference I decided to start work on an Alice Cooper reference book in February 1998 and thanks to the internet and the almost instance access to fans around the world I was able to have a manuscript ready within a year Amazing If I could have had such access when working on the KISS books it would have saved me a lot of time in research 6 How much of the releases detailed in Black Diamond 2 do you own yourself Are you still as much an avid KISS collector as you were in the beginning A Nearly all the pictures you see in BD2 are things from my collection I also have a lot of other material that I couldn t print for one reason or another As a fan I ve always been a big record collector but I never got into the puzzles and games Just never really interest me which is the main reason why I dealt strictly with albums videos and books in BD2 besides there already being a book out there that covers such material I think as collectors most people reach a pinnicle with the buying and then taper off until they find something new to collect I still get the new albums when they appear especially if a vinyl edition is released but that s about it anymore Still I don t see myself getting rid of my collection anytime soon 7 Have you met up with any members of the band since completing the Black Diamond series Do you know if they have read a copy of either books I sent copies of both books to all of the band members that I could locate and to Eric Carr s family The only people I did not send copies to were Mark Norton aka St John and Vinnie as I had no way of knowing for sure if they would actually get anything I sent to the addresses I had Eric s family seemed very enthusiastic about the books especially as there is a lot of material about Eric in them including the interview CD that comes with the first book Since then I have kept in touch with them and I can only hope their determination to get Eric s Rock Heads project off the ground will come true some day Bruce Kulick seemed to like the books and has told me so Bob Kulick read the first one and disagreed with some things I had to say even though I had two sources for the story I told in BD1 about Ace s audition for KISS he insists that it did not happen that way and I do not have any reason to doubt him so I would probably change that story a bit if I every revise BD1 still I think he was happy that the book focused on some people outside of the main four members Eric Singer seemed to be happy with the book as well and I have heard good comments from people like Kenny Kerner and Stan Penridge In fact I hear more good things from people that have worked with the band over the years than anyone else Both Penridge and Bill Starkey the creator of the KISS Army both told me that it was the first book about KISS they ever read thattold the TRUE story about the band That was very flattering As to the original members of KISS I have only heard from Gene so far He told me that he wasn t thrilled with all the unauthorised KISS books coming out but he thought my two books were cool That was an interesting phone call to say the least 8 What are your thoughts on the Psycho Circus album Have you caught the Psycho Circus tour yet A I like the new album in general but I wish there would have been a bit more of a push in giving both Peter and Ace room to show their progress as musicians I know some people will laugh at that but I really think both Peter and Ace pulled off some good material on their solo projects over the years The same holds true with Gene and Paul I would have enjoyed the album a bit more if I felt that it was four guys locked in a room thrashing out some tunes that they wanted to hear instead of songs that they felt we as fans wanted to hear If you get a chance certainly go see the band on this tour It s always a good show although there is a bit too much rehash from the previous tour I would have enjoyed some different material and even some of the stuff from the 80s that would have worked well with the makeup quot I Love It Loud quot quot Hide Your Heart quot quot Rock Soldiers quot etc Yet even a mediocre KISS concert is still ten times better than most other shows 9 Do you follow the projects of ex KISS members eg Bruce s Union album amp Eric s ESP A Yes I follow all the former and current band members In fact one of the reasons for the first BD book was that I thought there wasn t enough information out there for fans about the members that were not currently with the band I felt these individuals ALL shaped KISS when they were in the band and their solo careers were important to understand if one was to understand the musical direction of KISS through the years Love the Union album and hope that the band has continued success Actually saw Eric last summer when he played with Alice Cooper in Columbus Ohio Haven t gotten the ESP album yet though 10 Black Diamond comes packaged with an excellent Eric Carr interview Eric comes across as a very easy and likeable person to interview was this the case Do you have more gems like this for possible future release A He was the sweetest guy in the world It was the first interview I had ever done and being in the Black Diamond Interview CD KISS Company offices in downtown Manhatten was very intimidating especially as we did the interview in Gene s office I was so concern that the tape recorder I had would not work that I borrowed one from a friend and it almost immediately died on me when I was interviewing Eric Most people would have said quot oh well too bad quot and shown me the door Eric however tried to fix the recorder and when it was obvious that it was never going to work told me to come back the next day to finish the interview Another example of his attitude with fans was after the interview was over and Eric started giving me signed albums posters CD and singles to take home with me The feeling I got from him was that he was just as excited about giving the stuff away as a fan would be in getting it In all the years since then I have only heard of one instance of someone saying something bad about Eric He was the one band member that really tried to connect with fans and enjoyed being around them I think that once he passed on the band never quite recovered on both a professional level or on a personal level with the fans At least until the Reunion that is BTW for fans wondering after listening to the CD the first 20 minutes of the CD is taken from the part of the interview done on the uncooperative recorder which is why both Eric and I sound a bit odd I still have about two and a half hours left of the interview that has never been released and I m still not sure what I might do with it eventually There was talk about releasing another CD with BD2 but the size of BD2 along with a CD would have jacked the price up too much and we decided to wait Maybe someday 11 Both books have very prominent covers people always glance twice when I m reading them at work were they your idea A Actually no At the time I had sent off the manuscripts for both books to my publisher I got a call from them asking what we should stick on the cover I would have assumed they would have come up with something themselves but they wanted my ideas Later my wife and I went to visit a couple we knew Kevin Workman had been taking some creative photography classes and shot a photo of his wife Haley that he thought would work for the cover of the book I was surprised at first after all who expects to get pictures like that handed to them of a friend s wife but thought I would go ahead and send it in My publisher decided to use it and when the second book was going to print I thought it would be best to use a similar photo for the second book as well So Kevin and Haley did the second one just for the cover of BD2 Incidentally the cover of BD1 is actually a black and white photo that was colorized The star was blackened in a bit as well or else we would have had a cover that would have exposed more than intended 12 Are you a regular visitor of any KISS websites Which are your favourites Have you ever visited KISSin UK Well I do some material occasionally for the KISS Asylum website including an on line KISS novel that I had started about 15 years ago and never finished until now I try to avoid looking at too many sites as I could end up all day on the computer but I probably check out KISS Asylum and KISS Freaks the most and then some other sites every now and then I certainly DO look at KISSin UK as I love finding out what fans think about the band in other countries beside my own I think you do a very good job especially as you have said yourself on the site it is not easy to get material together in a country that only has limited interest in the band Good work 13 Finally do you have other information you d like to share with UK fans A As to the books I hope UK fans will enjoy them as much as fans from other parts of the world have over the past year and a half If nothing else I hope that the books get fans to see the band as a group of individuals that created some great music both inside and outside the band In general though I like to leave fans with this thought KISS is a band that has always pushed forward the idea of not only being an individual but for fighting for what you want to make true in your life I ve always wanted to be a writer and KISS was a way for me to achieve that goal So believe that they say you can make your dreams come true if you are willing to work and fight for them Thanks Dale Sherman Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Dale Sherman Interview Feb 1999 Dale Sherman Interview Feb 1999 Dale Sherman Interview Feb 1999 Dale

No Euro tour confirmed ...%%==%%9229%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Latest News on European Farewell Tour nbsp nbsp NEW Air your Farwell Tour Blues here Click on the logo No Euro tour confirmed by Paul Stanley From Michel Banen Kiss Chikara via Fraser Munro Paul Stanley filled out a questionnaire for the Dutch Kiss fanclub Kiss Chikara quot on which he confirmed that there will be no European Farewell tour and that the last Kiss Farewell concert will be mid March Click here to read the questionaire nbsp Older news from when things were brighter It seems that the chance of a tour of Europe Australia amp Japan looks very good at the minute The band have been totally surprised and overwhelmed at th e nbsp response to the Farewell Tour and it is already shaping up to be bigger than the Alive Worldwide tour It will be the biggest grossing Tour in the US this year by far It has been said from a source very close to the band that they will do Europe and Australia Japan Currently they are re scheduling so many things at present that it s hard enough coping with the US so no definite dates or timescales can be given nbsp Firstly before I say anymore please note that NONE OF THIS IS CONFIRMED but things are certainly starting to look up for a European tour I have heard the following news bits from a very good source very close to the band 3 10 2000 From aristidis chatzis The USA tour will end on 7th of October A show or two in USA next year probably in late Feb Europe Oz and Japan January 2001 Two months rest for the Band That s what Gene Simmons said on SNR last Saturday Check yourself at www eddietrunk com nbsp Hope we all see them again at Wembley Arena 13 8 2000 OK here s the latest RUMOR there will be no Madison Square Garden show this year The rumor is that the tour is being extended until 2001 For those overseas this can only mean good things for you Europe Aussie and Japan with the Garden show to end it all in Febuary 2001 There is also talk of adding a show at Nassau Colisuem here on Long Island NY in late September John www deadendkidz com 24 7 2000 Latest news is that Peter and Ace s contract with Kiss which included 70 US shows for the Farewell tour have been expanded to 125 US shows They are negotiating another extension for their contract for more shows in Japan Australia and Europe at the moment This is no official news but comes from a reliable source nbsp The US tour is going so well that it looks likely that the it will indeed make it over to Europe Both ticket sales and merchandising are going through the roof which may have swayed the decision but nothing is confirmed I ve been told that they are booked in the US until late July August so if it does happen it will probably be later in the year On 28th May page 451 of Teletext Channel 4 had the following article Hopes are rising that Kiss may be coming to the UK later in the year as part of their farewell tour The tour is already underway in the States nbsp and this week reached Detroit scene of one of their 1975 hit Detroit Rock City Kiss have sold 75m albums in a 27 year career nbsp Paul Stanley was interviewed on KNAC recently 2nd June as you can guess when Paul was asked the question are you gonna play the uk quot he replied something like quot we dont know where this tours gonna take us were making it up as we go along quot but he did also say that they dont wanna turn the tour into a 2 year farewell as it would defeat the object quot so as usual Paul sorta skipped round the question but never mind I didn t expect a straight answer From Dave Chapman nbsp I am hoping to have something more definite about a tour next week as soon as I find out more I ll post it here nbsp Here s another few Farewell Tour news bits non UK related from my news source Ace is in great shape and has lost 3 stone since the last tour He says that this is down to his latest interest Yoga It has been mentioned that Gene getting stuck on his cables in Anaheim was because of a bet Not sure how true this is but the news has come from high up At Anaheim someone made a great leap from the sets and made the edge of the stage The security eventually pull him down only feet away from Ace but it took four of them to ground him 25 different T shirts are available on this tour is this a record even for KISS The ticket sales are going so well that the fans are getting a little out of control at the shows I don t know whether you have heard about the fan that died at Oakland but the was another accident at Reno when a fan fell and it seems that he has either broken his neck or has spinal injuries The paramedics were at the scene an hour before they left the show for the hospital they have not heard how he is yet Obviously we wish him all the best nbsp THANKS Thanks to my very

south to Dudley Parasite And the KISS Expo 146 98 Not only was this cat looking forward to getting her hands on some cool gear PARASITE were due to play in the evening as well We would all be in for a treat Arrived at JB 146 s nightclub in Dudley hot tired and not in the best of tempers from a long frustrating drive in the hot weather down the M6 150 on entering JB 146 s all that was changed 150 I was in KISS heaven for the next few hours at least First stop was Nick Smith 146 s airbrush t shirts stall Nick is a first class artist and long time KISS fan He first saw KISS in 1980 and numerous times since then He started producing the T shirts in 1992 and is still going strong Nick has a standard range of designs comprising of Gene Paul Ace Peter Vinnie and Eric Carr in their respective make up He will also custom design to order see ad in November 146 98 issue of Plaster caster All members of KISS have been presented with their respective T shirts Photographs of the band members are given as part of the purchase price cool Needless to say I indulged in a Gene T shirt well I would I guess being the Gene fan I am and obtained 5 photos along with it 150 good value for my 25 The T shirts are excellent quality big and a work of art in themselves 150 too good to wear Well done Nick Next I trawled around the memorabilia stands where I could buy pictures posters models cars videos etc The one thing that struck me at this point was the quality of the merchandise available 150 KISS may be accused of many things such as taking merchandising too far but one thing the products never are is cheap and tacky Another thing which struck me whilst doing the rounds talking and taking pictures was the degree of devotion to all things KISS everyone had To be surrounded by fellow fans old and young who felt the same way I did about the band was a great feeling and led to a great atmosphere Shane Simmons Shane Riley 6 was dressed up as Gene and won the prize for best Gene impersonator on stage Looking round the hall at this point I could see a mixed crowd of rock enthusiasts all obviously KISS fans all having a good time Some people were in full KISS make up and regalia I spied a few Demons Starchilds Space Aces and Catmen A lot of effort put into costume and make up by those in character all of which was very effective For those who wanted there was a face painting stand and for a small fee you could be transformed into whichever KISS persona you wanted to be for the night I was tempted but it was far to hot that evening for make up to stay put 8pm arrived fast and as the air of expectation grew quot PARASITE quot erupted onto the stage to entertain us for the next 2 hours PARASITE exploded onto the stage with all the style and tempo of the originals in full make up and all the gestures perfect Launching into the first song Deuce with energy and giving the audience the full experience that is KISS 133 an audience who wanted the best and were getting it Though not the real band they are a dynamic tribute band who did real justice to the music the legend and the attitude that is KISS Four guys from Grimsby UK Who turned their dream into a reality and have played in the UK and Europe to numerous KISS fans since first coming together in 1994 quot Gene quot AKA Mark postured throughout and played up to the audience as demanded He stomped gyrated gestured and gave a good rendition of what we have come to expect from the Demon himself quot Ace quot AKA Danny was dynamic on the guitar and played with all the style and panache of the real Space Ace The solos on Shock Me Cold Gin and New York Groove were great The quot Catman quot AKA Carl was perched behind the drums pounding away with rhythm and dynamism to match the rest of the band quot Beth quot was done with style including handing a rose to some lucky girl in the audience Last but by no means least quot Paul quot AKA Darren strutted cajoled and made love to the audience throughout carrying the audience along with the show His energy was boundless and he provided the perfect foil to quot Gene 146 s quot Demon sweeping the audience along from the first song Deuce through such classics such as Firehouse Strutter Do You Love me to Rock 146 n 146 Roll All Nite as a finale Shock me featured some brilliant guitar riffs and the smoking guitar very much in the Ace style which left the audience clamoring for more God of Thunder was preceded by an excellent blood scene good enough to satisfy the most demanding vampires in the audience and rival that of the Demon himself It was a memorable show by four talented guys who belted out all that is best about KISS with energy and enthusiasm For me the magic the fantasy the experience that is KISS was created again in that 2 hour period taking me back to the first KISS concert I experienced in 1976 and all the others along the way Overall a good event supported by a great tribute band Chris Hatton of quot Going blind quot fan mag fame should be congratulated for all the hard work he and his team put into organizing things An event that should have been better supported by a bigger audience Hopefully they will keep the event going and with some more publicity next year should be even better These events need the continued support of the KISS Army if we are to ensure events like these happen and provide a forum for KISS fans to meet greet trade and experience the KISS phenomena into the future Keep on Kissin 146 The Allycat nbsp Back To Events Menu email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail KISS Expo 1998 KISS Expo

...%%==%%11125%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% KISS Expo 99 Review By The Allycat All pics by Martin Unsworth Many thanks to both Martin amp Ally DUDLEY OR BUST nbsp It is that time of year again when the UK 146 s KISS die hards descend on an unsuspecting part of the UK for a day and evening of unadulterated KISS Many of us had looked forward to the event with anticipation hoping to get their hands on some hard to find memorabilia and meet and greet with friends and fellow KISS fans As for me I just love spending time immersed in KISS things and this day was all I looked for Despite KISS having a big enough presence in the UK the fan network is spread out far and wide Apart from the internet which keeps most of us in touch with each other many of us feel isolated I appreciate the opportunity to meet up with my fellow Kissaholics and lose myself in KISS for a while 150 it 146 s like a drug Once hooked you can never get enough DRESSED TO KILL Dave This now annual event is growing and there were a good selection of trade stands Most things from the extensive KISS catalogue of goodies could be found 150 although I would have needed to have robbed bank to have really indulged myself My favorite item being the life sized cardboard cut out of KISS a la Dressed to Kill album cover look Nick Smith had a brilliantly painted array of air brushed products from his usual t shirt range loo seats and giant posters etc All executed in his extremely talented artwork I could have bought the lot As well as memorabilia there were dealers flogging recordings of memorable KISS shows One to plug is Martin Unsworth whose recordings are reputed to be excellent and if you have a favorite show well worth checking out Martin can be contacted on martinunsworth hotmail com In addition to the stalls goods and catching up with friends and fans there were a few competitions and KISS related interludes Most of us will have seen the KISS 145 Big Heads 146 dolls on offer and we had a 145 live 146 version of these bringing a smile to everyone 146 s faces Face painting facilities were on offer and there was no shortage of painted faces around the hall It was quite eerie at times to find myself face to face with images of the Demon Starchild Space Ace and Catman speaking in a wide range of UK accents PARASITE had turned up and provided an acoustic set to a very appreciative audience 150 showing once again the talented musicians they are They played some classics such as Coming Home Goin 146 Blind Everytime I look at You etc and a variation of RNRAN as found on the 145 KISS My ASS 146 video 150 different but very enjoyable PARASITE parasite20 jpg 9760 bytes parasite10 jpg 11743 bytes The event finished with a two hour stage show by UK KISS tribute band Dressed To Kill see below for review The convention went well and everyone enjoyed themselves Once again Chris Hatton and his team worked hard and put on a good event however it could have been better The choice of date was unwise as it clashed with the Reading festival and the tail end of the major holiday period I knew of 8 10 people who couldn 146 t come for those reasons and problems of accessibility using public transport on a Sunday If each person at the event also knew a few folk who couldn 146 t come for these reasons that is a lot of missing people and lost revenue Another factor is publicity or lack of it Events like these need maximum publicity and the organisers need to get a grip with it and take advantage of the willing band of UK based KISS Army or suffer from poor attendance reduced revenue and ultimately losses All that aside it was a great day and one that could grow into a major fixture in the UK KISS calender nbsp DRESSED TO KILL The lights dimmed the hall filled up and the anticipation rose 145 till it could be cut with a knife Smoke was slowly pumped out as the crowd began to chant 145 We want KISS 146 The crowds grew noisier with waiting and excitement and the band launched themselves onto the stage and went straight into Psycho Circus 150 one could be excused for thinking we were witnessing the opening of a KISS concert as at Wembley or somewhere but this was Dudley and the band were 145 Dressed To Kill 146 one of the UK 146 s two KISS tribute bands Here we had the Demon aka Gary The Starchild aka Ash Space Ace aka Dave and the Catman aka Richard We could have been back in 1976 and the Love Gun era once again The costumes were brilliant and the attention to detail was spot on Much time money and effort has been put into the recreation of this KISS era by the band from what was seen this evening it has certainly paid off After whipping the crowd up with the intro they went straight into Deuce and King of the Nighttime World The playing was tight well practised and loud Gary and Ash dominated the stage as Gene and Paul causing a number of girls at the front of the stage great delight They then threw in a couple of surprises such as Ladies Room and Is That you before returning to KISS classics such as Got To Choose and Firehouse after which Gary performed the Demo n 146 s fire breathing stunt Take Me Calling Dr Love and Beth followed in succession to appreciation from the floor and Gary continued to delight with his God of Thunder bass solo and blood spitting bought to close with Richard 146 s drum solo The band were back on stage to the strains of I Stole Your Love and Shock Me At this point Dave launched into the Ace solo and the guitar smoked in the much expected tradition Love Gun and Strutter followed but just when you thought there were no more surprises in store the band launched into Strangeways and All American Man This last one brought a smile to my lips as this song always reminds me of my husband The main set was then brought to a close with Shout It Out Loud and Black Diamond The audience loved the show and demand with increasing intensity that the band come back on stage for more Luckily Dressed To Kill were more than in the mood to oblige and they finished the evening with an encore of Detroit Rock City I Was Made For Loving You and the Anthem 150 Rock 146 n 146 Roll All Nite There was plenty of pyro shooting off during the show and confetti raining down on our heads Dressed To Kill put on a great show and there were many KISS fans well pleased with it all at the end of the evening Most people know by now how much of a Gene fan I am and Gary 146 s performance this evening had me reacting as I would to the man himself He carried off the playing singing posturing and posing to perfection His ability to step into Gene 146 s shoes is uncanny and sometimes unsettling 150 even to the point of his appreciation of the ladies This evening was no exception and there were two very

was ...%%==%%6004%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Bruce s Guitar Clinic 15 16 June 96 Birmingham In June last year Bruce Kulick held several guitar clinics around the UK I was lucky enough to go to one of them at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham Below are two reviews of the same event both were posted to one of the KISS mailing lists the first one by me and the second by John Parkin 1st Review Paul Finn Yesterday I finally got to meet my favorite guitarist ever Bruce Kulick The day started off really crap we missed our connection train to Birmingham which meant we didn t get to the show until 2PM ie we missed Bruce s signing session shit Bruce was due to go on stage at around 2 40 what we didn t realise was that we d have to wait for a 4 song soundcheck to take place so we didn t get into the hall until about 3 Anyway after all the waiting around Bruce came on stage and he looked in great shape He told us that he was going to play along to some KISS backing tapes as well as doing some other stuff The first song was Unholy Bruce said that the backing tape was from early on in the writing of Revenge he used to take the tape home and jam along to it it was basically the same as the studio version but with slightly different lyrics Bruce growled this ones by Gene Simmmmmonns and the intro started I couldn t believe how good it sounded Bruce was really on top form the solo was a little bit different but it sure as hell blew me away Next up was Heart Of Chrome Tough Love Liar a song that was written for COS but didn t get recorded it kicked ass the best stuff I ve heard from any KISS guitarist ever Then was a tune from the Good Rats called 495 and then a tune called Zeptune I think Next up was a short Q amp A there was only time for 3 questions and none of them were very exciting What s the difference between rythm guitar amp lead What age did you start playing and when is your signiture ESP coming out In brief he started playing at the age of 10 and he has a prototype of this signiture model but he didn t want to bring it with him incase it got nicked Then to end the show he played Star Spangled Banner which sounded very cool very much like the version on Alive III but only Bruce playing no backing Overall the event was really cool Bruce was a brilliant person much friendlier than Peter Criss was when I met him a couple of years ago There were about 400 500 people there which incedently was over the maximum allowed in the hall I only hope he is going to come back later on in the year with Eric that would be cool nbsp 2nd Review John Parkin Hi all I would just like to tell you all about yesterday s National Guitar show at Birmingham in the UK Bruce was there and he was signing stuff and talking to us all about 25 Kiss Fans and he was just great He was one of the nicest guys that I have ever met He was just so friendly and really went out of his way to let people take photo s of him and so on Afterwards he was walking around the show and taking to kids playing guitars and giving them some advice You know I always moan about living in the UK when it comes to being a KISS fan We never get to hear anything about them they are never on TV or radio in fact no one hardly knows who they are but it was all worth it yesterday As I said there were only a handful of KISS fans there so Bruce was able to talk to just a couple of us for nearly an hour on a one to one basis In my opinion a once in a lifetime thing I guess if the show had been held in the USA there would of been hundreds of KISS fans all squashed up just to get an autograph and maybe ask a quick question if they were lucky Anyway Bruce said He Was still being paid by KISS The New album Was NEVER called Carnival of Souls and Still is not He considers it to be the best work he has ever done with KISS He hopes to be back with KISS real soon but is uncertain of the future and at times he looked a little worried upset I told him that I had heard a copy of the new album and said that in my opinion as soon as it is released everyone will realise just how good it is and will want him and Eric back straight away He then told me to tell everyone on the Internet this and tell everyone how good it was He also said that he thinks Peter and Ace would not have been able to produce the kinds of songs sounds which are on the new album as KISS has really moved on from there day Basically Bruce was great he played along to demo tapes of Unholy Heart of chrome and Tough Love Then he played some of his own work Including a really cool track called quot 495 quot Then ended with the Star Spangled banner A brilliant performance from a brilliant guy Not wanting to start another argument on the net I would like to say though Bruce is one hell of a guitarist and many others don t get near his tallent or nice nature Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Bruce s Clinic Bruce s Clinic Bruce s Clinic Bruce s Clinic Bruce s Clinic Bruce s Clinic

thanks to Michael Next Report gt Tonight was a very cool night Paul Stanley did his first performance as the Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto Here s what happened Walking into the theatre was all that was needed to know that this wasn t just another Phantom of the Opera I saw the production 9 years ago and something here was definitely different The people here weren t your typical theatre goers There was a lot of long hairs and leather there tonight which was great It was a little louder than usual as well The souvenir tables were selling Kiss CD wallets and Kiss T shirts programs CD s Paul doesn t sing on it It s an old release etc We had some great seats front and center section about 8 rows back There were a lot of Kiss fans in this section We had some friends about 6 rows back and we had to stick our 3 fingers out heavy metal style and stick our tongues Gene Simmons style now and again just for kicks Nobody was dressed in full Kiss garb though which kind of surprised me I thought for sure somebody would do it If anybody there came in make up I didn t see them As far as the rest of the theatre goes it was packed like it always is The show started and I was curious as to how the fans would react when Paul came on stage I had forgotten exactly how the Phantom made his entrance The female lead Christine no not Christine 16 was singing in front of a mirror in which you could see her reflection and suddenly you hear Paul s voice singing a duet with her which was really cool After he sang some of the song with her his reflection appeared in the mirror with her I expected some applause here As it turns out the reflection isn t actually Paul but a body double The double comes out of the mirror and walks down a flight of stairs They then appear walking down a flight of stairs from way up in the air This is actually Paul now Not much noise from the fans yet but you could tell they were getting excited I couldn t get over listening to Paul singing opera style rolling his quot R s quot was really different at first It sounded great it was just strange hearing it from Paul Stanley During the first song he did seem a little nervous His voice obviously cracked during his big note in the song but he got over it Hey he s Paul Stanley he gets paid anyway Truthfully he was a bit out of his league with the other singers but its a completely different style of music in which he s not formally trained His voice would tend to be the quieter one during a duet He just came off a big tour his voice must be beat Don t get me wrong he sounded great As far as I m concerned he can do no wrong It was just cool seeing him in this role Before the show started I noticed a group of people in a box seat Long hairs with leather One guy looked a lot like Ace from where I was sitting so at the intermission I ran to my car to get my binoculars Turned out it wasn t him although I don t doubt its somebody close Some people after the show were saying it was Ace but trust me I know plus I had binoculars I could practically see up the guys nose it wasn t Ace I d know Anyway I ve heard Ace Gene and Peter will be there on Tuesday for the official press opening There was also a young boy with them It may have been family who knows During the intermission I bought a set of postcards of Paul as the Phantom They are posted on my website at http www michael anthony com Feel free to download them if you want I ll be taking them off the site on Friday Oh here s something cool Paul used the same photographer I use for my promotional photos Michael Cooper I just though that was cool Sorry During the intermission I overheard some people saying that Paul wanted to change the Phantom logo it s a picture of the mask Paul wanted to put a small star in the eye Apparently Andrew Lloyd Webber wouldn t allow it Who knows Maybe its true I just thought I d throw it at you During the second half in one scene when they were saying that the Phantom didn t exist you heard Paul voice saying quot I m here quot from the far left corner of the theatre then quot I m here quot from the other side then quot I m here quot from the back then from the balcony It was cool At one point Christine tears off Pauls phantom mask and you see him with an incredible make up job He stays like this for much of the second half Scarred face opened wet wounds pretty much a bald head with gray hair on the sides it was an incredible make up job It shows what Paul will look like when he s 90 haha During this when he is trying to win Christine s heart there s a scene when Paul is crawling across the stage crying and singing at the same time Really wild That was probably my favorite part Either that or when he was shooting sparks from his stick with the skull on it Like in the postcard When he got angry a huge set of flash pots went off which of course put the Kiss fans into a frenzy I don t remember the flashpots 9 years ago Near the end Paul makes his exit by vanishing under a blanket while sitting on a chair and the play ends shortly thereafter After the applause the characters start coming out in groups to receive their extended applause As the actors with bigger parts started receiving bigger applause I had a feeling it was about to get crazy The female lead Christine came out and got a huge ovation Paul was next there was a long wait for him People were on their feet screaming waiting 3 fingers extended on each hand ala heavy metal And when he came out everyone went insane Paul loved it he acknowledged his audience with both hands extended just staring at them straight faced then he paid particular attention to the fans in the front looking at them and gesturing to them People were chanting Paul Paul Paul the curtain started to close and just as Paul was about to go behind the curtain he started to smile and laugh for the first time of the night It was incredible It was so cool how he acknowledged the fans in the front It was a fantastic evening A must see for any Kiss fan who can get to Toronto and get tickets To see the postcards click here http www michael anthony com nbsp They will be up until Friday Thanks Michael

from Martin s Homepage Next Report gt My wife and I booked up to see Paul in Phantom of the Opera as soon as I read about it on the Internet At first I thought it may have been a hoax but as we all know by now it wasn t We decided to wait until mid June knowing that the first shows would almost if not already sold out I called the Pantages booking office and got two centre seats for the Friday 11th June Good to their word they even sold them at 1989 prices We stayed at the Delta Chelsea hotel which I found out to be the official Phantom of the Opera hotel This was five minutes walk to the entrance of the theatre on Yonge Street Outside the theatre was a large poster of Paul as the Phantom as well as his name above the entrance Rather than send the tickets to the UK the theatre told us to pick them up at the box office using our passports as identification We went to the box office on the Friday morning The place was empty apart from a few staff floating around the sales counter where numerous items of Kiss merchandise including CD Holders T Shirts and Caps were prominently displayed These sat rather nicely along side more traditional Phantom trinkets including broaches and the post card set featuring Paul After picking up our tickets we began to wander up and down the main street All the record stores had vast Kiss sections HMV on Yonge Street had what only could be described as a palet of Ace and Peter dolls with mini albums going for about two pounds each Other stores had Japanese imports books videos and DVD s It was in one of these stores where I managed to pick up a copy of quot Then They Kissed Me A Dance Orgasm quot Also a number of the free magazines and newspapers were running articles on Paul playing the Phantom Friday night came around quickly A large crowd had gathered outside the theatre even though the doors were already open This was fringed by a number of locals who were selling red roses Once through the door you had the opportunity to purchase pretty much the same merchandise as I outlined earlier A poster information sheet about Paul was inserted into the program which cost about four pounds Once we sat down I had an opportunity to look around the sold out theatre to see who else was there There were very few people who looked like obvious Kiss fans maybe even only ten to fifteen Anyway if you remember the voice that Gene and Paul do of the Bus driver they had from Kentucky on Konfidential Well I m sure one of his relations was sat behind us From overhearing his conversation it was apparent that he did not even know who Paul was The lights dimmed and the show started Rather than string out the story I ve decided to list key points on Pauls performance and the show in general Throughout the performance Paul seemed to glide across the stage as though he d been doing this for years rather than weeks I d heard reports that he appeared nervous at the first few shows but we saw nothing but a confident professional revelling in this opportunity The other males in the cast seemed to speak loadly rather than sing Paul s voice however was powerful and passionate I was expecting it to be a bit creeky towards the top end of the scale similar to quot I Was Made For Lovin You quot live but is was crystal clear almost like certains songs from quot The Elder quot The only point where you went yeah that s Paul was during the song quot The Phantom of the Opera quot Towards the climax of this epic he shouts quot Sing for me quot to Christine You almost expected him to follow it through with quot I can t here you Toronto get off your asses people quot but he did nt My wife thought Paul s legs appeared to be a lot shorter in suit trouser and shoes rather than skin tight black leather ones we re all familiar with I suppose they did a bit Towards the end of the show The Phantom takes Christine down to his lair where he begs her to stay with him forever Raoul comes after Christine and gets caught in the Phantoms trap It is during these scenes where Paul performance is at it s best He is seen begging Christine to choose between them After a moving performance Christine leaves the lair with Raoul My wife could not understand how she could leave Paul and Paul can be seen crawling tearfully across the stage towards a musical toy monkey On reaching the toy which appears to be cradling his head he begins to sing to himself before moving to his throne from which he vanishes The entire cast came onstage to a round of applause except Paul The cast then split into two and Paul strutted pun intened in from the left behind them and through to the front He looked out into the audience and the turned to Christeen and then he kissed her hand He then shook Raoul s hand before turning again to the audience and giving that nod of appreciation At this point the entire audience got to their feet and applauded loudly for approximately ten minutes During this you could see the pride on Pauls face The cast then all joined hands and ran towards the front of the stage and bowed As the curtains came in from the sides of the stage Paul continued to nod arms outstretched Overall you could not fault anyone involved in this production However the Paul Stanley that Kiss fans know and worship is a complete opposite to the Paul Stanley Thespian we saw in Toronto His performance was that of a true professional who I m sure has impressed many doubters and many regular theatre goers who are not familiar with Kiss The vocal style that Paul uses in Phantom can only benefit future Kiss performances Try and see this show no matter what it costs Paul s performance has to be seen to be believed Our attempts to get tickets for another night were fruitless Back To Events Page Phantom Report 5 Report

...%%==%%6269%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Sam Ash signing New York 9 1 2000 Written By Terri Bey author of Ace Frehley Bio I attended the Sam Ash Guitar Show on Jan 9th and let me tell you I had a pretty good time I got on line at about 10 15am and chatted with the other fans about how many times we had met various KISS members etc There I was with my jacket and a new outfit waiting for my chance to meet ACE As you all know I had met Paul in Vancouver but just missed out on meeting Ace and I was a little nervous but hopeful At noon we were let in and I got to speak with my buddy Richie Scarlet and his wife Joann and we had a nice chat I came back to Richie s table later as he was not finished setting up to have a pic taken with him and have him sign his new cd Out of my past Note go get it IT is great Well I also walked around but as you guessed I made a beeline for the GIBSON table at around 12 30 or 1pm and waited for THE MAN to show I had a little help by a friend of a friend of mine to keep me informed on Ace s arrival time Of course we had been informed that Ace had missed his flight and would be at the show at about 5 or so Well I wasn t too upset at THAT as I was about the organization or LACK of organization on the part of the security for the gibson table It was a zoo A whole bunch of us were right in front of Ace s table since the virtual beginning and this lady with a cell phone was going bonkers Well she wanted us to move I explained to her that we had been there since 12pm and had driven from Ky and Mass some people I met were from Mass The lady said that we were going to be the first people with some little boy being the first one They FINALLY rope off the line something they SHOULD HAVE done hours ago since they KNEW Ace was going to be late This was about 4 30pm The line ended up wrapping around the table and INTO the Gibson booth The people who I was with and I were saying Ace is gonna freak The security FINALLY turned the line around to go in one direction or so I thought The line started to CROWD UP and people were CUTTING the line and it was a mess The security then had to get everyone back because he said Ace will cancel the signing if you all don t move back I personally could not blame Ace even though I would have be disappointed It was so crowded and disorganized I mean I live in Lexington Ky and about 90 miles west in Louisville we run a race called the Kentucky Derby where over 100 000 people attend every year and that race is more organized than this signing or the whole guitar show for that matter The Paul line was wrapped around the place and out the door from what I understand It was so crowded that it was hard for people who were there to look at guitars to move around Anyway it is around 5pm and the announcement is made that ACE is in the building My adreniline is rushing I am very excited Well around 5 30 or so the MAN ARRIVED and I shot some pix I was so happy to see my HERO Well I was anxiously waiting for my turn and they stopped the line with this guy RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I wondered what the hell is going on Well guess what ANOTHER LINE was formed somehow I was like what the fuck is this SO there were the fans in this other line that was formed having their stuff signed Now Ace for you gals who truly love him like I do was just adorable I thought he was anyway He was bantering with the fans and was very cool Now at first he was allowing pictures being taken of him however he did have it stopped Anyway he did look tired and slightly pale to ME I have read the posts and I don t know where this orange face that he had is coming from I would be exhausted too if I just got off a plane and fighting jet lag Yeah yeah he missed the original flight but what is done is done Anyway when my line was FINALLY allowed to go through you can imagine my excitement I was getting ready Even though I was exhausted from the waiting I KNEW it was going to be worth it When the security guard told me it was MY TURN I felt SO GOOD I was going to meet ACE FREHLEY my idol for 23 years FINALLY Carol Kaye asked me what I wanted signed and I had Ace sign a pictured of my friend Paul Helms who plays him in KISS ARMY which was already signed by Richie Scarlet and Karl Cochran I like having unique things autographed like my beagle picture I asked ace how he was he said Fine I had told him that I was hanging out with Karl Cochran two days prior He said Cool I showed him my beagle picture and told him the beagle was named after HIM and he said FAR OUT I nodded in agreement He gave me another look and here is the best part of the encounter he looked at me again and said You look familiar I sheepishly said From the shows It was announced before hand that he did not want hear how many times you saw KISS etc etc I can t blame him either I shook his hand and told him what my name was and that was it He was A VERY NICE and VERY SWEET PERSON Keep Rockin Terri Diane Bey and Ace Frehley the Beagle Please

May 2000 The band KISS the location the Palace of Auburn Hills the occasion KISS playing at Detroit Rock City On the afternoon of Wednesday 24 I along with four other European KISS fans waiting patiently near the backstage entrance of the Palace We could not believe that we were seeing KISS at Detroit Rock City on the Farwell tour The band arrived at 5pm prompt and were ushered straight into the backstage area Straining our eyes I did see all four members get out of the car All looked healthy Ace had lost a lot of weight since the European Psycho Circus leg 9 30pm showtime As the KISS banner was lowered halfway through the Who s Won t Get Fooled Again the crowd roared Then the announcer started the All Right Detroit You Wanted the Best the twenty plus thousand fans screamed and joined in with the band introduction The banner fell and that was it KISS were on stage seventh heaven had been reached Opening song like the rest of the tour Detroit Rock City the crowd sang every word with conviction let s face it this was their song Please see enclosed set list for the songs played As the last DRC chorus was sung I looked around every seat was empty everyone was on their feet Gene started straight away looking at the ladies in the front section of the audience Paul looked energised and Ace looked like he was having fun Peter s drumming was much improved Fourth song in Creatures of the Night anthem I Love It Loud personally beforehand I had qualms about the ethics and playing ability of the original line up in playing the non original and non make up era songs On the playing ability side I should have not worried Ace dealt with Vinnie s 80 s style guitar licks brilliantly on this crowd participation classic Peter s drums were severly trashed on this one Next song Paul announces that Ace is going to sing this Shock Me During Do You love Me a video KISStory was played explaining to the un initiated the appeal and history of the band This video contained some great footage sadly nothing new for me had seen it all before During Dynasty s Stones classic 2000 man Ace delivered his solo smoking guitar and rockets after the Space Odyssey 2001 theme During God of Thunder Gene s bass solo considering that Gene is afrai d of heights he carries it off brilliantly The trick is not to look down as he ascends to the lighting rig and not to look directly downwards to look straight ahead During 100 000 years Peter s drum solo As I have said his drumming has improved very much Love Gun is next Paul asks the audience to shout nbsp into the sound meters Both nights the winch nbsp system worked without fault Paul returned to the main stage and started a song i had not heard in 15 years or so The ballad off Creatures of the Night I Still Love You Great song I was emotional at this point I used this song in 1982 to achieve a date with a girl Paul sang nbsp a verse and a chorus and part of the solo this then metamorphosised into Black Diamond The band said good night Encore time Peter s solo spot Beth roses handed out to the lucky people in the front Peter thanked the audience for the last 27 years The band came back on and Paul thanked the Detroit area for helping KISS in 1975 to achieve international success He doubted that some of today s groups had the staying power and the fan loyalty that KISS had The last song of the night Rock n Roll all night I screamed the words to this song I was on holiday and had trekked over 6 000 miles to be there At the end of the Dressed to Kill anthem the band lined up t o take a bow Through the makeup the four did look a bit emotional Proves that super heroes can get emotional The audience left the arena there nbsp was a sense of this is it no more KISS but for me this was slightly untrue there was the next night Thursday night Thursday s set list was the same as the previous night same effects But this night i was fourth row Because of this I saw witnessed things I might have missed If I had been further back from the stage Gene smiled at me in the middle of Calling Dr Love In the music intro to DRC Paul had to rush to the mic to sing the first verse The platform that descended bringing Ace Gene and Paul to the stage was slow to land Consequently Paul had to jump a good foot to the floor and rush to the mic Thank god he is used to running and jumping in platforms Anybody else would have injured themselves Peter smiled in the middle of Let Me Go Rock n Roll as he was pointing to the two KISS signs either side of his drum riser Ace missed a stage cue Paul was introducing Ace for the start of 2 000 man ACE was nowhere to be seen Paul said Ace where is Ace ahh there you are Ace Ace emerged from his stage stairwell got over to the mic and stated here I am To finish this review a

Special thanks ...%%==%%6827%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Donington 96 17th August Review by Joop van Pelt taken from KISS Kollector issue 19 Pictures taken by Sidney Brandeis Special thanks to Joop for allowing me to use the review and pictures quot Alright Donington You wanted the best you got the best The hottest band in the world KISS quot came through the PA while the KISS helicopter was circling over the festival site The four blow up dolls were hanging at stageleft and the band kicked off with Deuce Without time to breath things quickly continued with King Of The Night Time World and Ace on one knee in front of the amp to create some feedback at the Ace Copyright Joop van Pelt start of the tune Some 80 000 rockmaniacs were blown away by KISS performance but personally I was most blown away by the fact that a few hours before showtime Ace could hardly stand on his own feet while now he was on the stage nothing seemed to be the matter backstage one of the other musicians unable to understand this Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide conversion exclaimed quot That s not Ace quot when he got in the van all by himself again just prior to the show Ace rocked like we ve come accustomed to and only fucked up as far as I noticed some of his parts in Let Me Go Rock N Roll And the only fuck up Peter made again as far as I could tell was the intro for Strutter as he couldn t keep up with the tempo at all Word has it that during the tour Gene is regularly making fun of Peter being slow but I do not know if that s just a nice little anecdote or a fact Also reported is that Peter is on oxygen after every show Who s to know On the outside everything looks just fine and the whole band put down a damn good show Do You Love Me with that great new ending and Calling Dr Love preceded Cold Gin which was sung by Gene and Ace just like at the other shows on this tour The intro to this alcoholic Paul Copyright Joop van Pelt song gave Paul the opportunity to do his pathetic quot don t drink and drive quot rap which seems a bit out of place at a huge rockshow like this or at lease the way he did it kind of singing it like a gospel One of the best and also most underrated KISS songs in my opinion anyways was next Let Me Go Rock N Roll including that fabulous 1975 76 jamsession in the middle Shout It Out Loud I could have done without but okay different strokes for different blokes and all that the new videoclip is very very cool though Watching you and Firehouse including Gene s firebreathing act warmed up the crowd for the first real spectacular theatrics During Shock Me Ace got to take the spotlight all by himself and that s something he can handle very well First while he was doing his guitar solo his Les Paul started smoking although that took a while and if that wasn t inconvenient enough for him the guitar flew all the way to the lighting truss That didn t seem to bother Ace cause he just grabbed another guitar and started firing rockets towards the ceiling as if he was aiming for the lights Strutter gave the audience the opportunity to catch some breath Ace Copyright Joop van Pelt and do a reality check but before everybody could figure out what the hell was going on Gene started vomiting blood and even flew all the way to the lighting truss from where he sang the first part of God Of Thunder Believe me the Demon is back It s so impressive and scary might I add to see him fly all that way to the ceiling and stand on the lighting truss Love Gun closed the regular set the show was some 15 minutes shorter than the other performances on this tour they didn t do Rock Bottom New York Groove nor Beth and while the video screens showed the morphing solo album faces the crowd asked for more KISS of course obliged and did Black Diamond during which the three guitarists went up the hydraulic platforms and were risen above and over the audience while Peter s drumkit rose all Gene amp Joop Copyright Joop van Pelt the way to the ceiling too Rock And Roll All Nite and a huge confetti storm and incredible fireworks ended the mindblowing show And the fireworks would light the sky for a while after the show had ended like the Anaheim 76 show and people started leaving the festival site A great day had come to an ending in a great way Too bad there wasn t too much KISS merchandise there that day as I had expected a little more after having experienced it all in New York where it seemed as if the whole KISS museum was on sale at the shows Also I expected a little more KISS coverage in the media Unlike the States magazines over here still weren t doing coverstories on the band and as for TV I only saw some live footage and short interviews on MTV although they had quite a few reports on KISS on MTV News Apparently the press over here still doesn t get it as the reviews range from very negative to positive it s still a matter of quot you either love them or hate them quot there seems to be no where in between And that s probably the only way KISS wants to be looked at They do behave like it s the seventies all over again nobody may photograph them without the make up they don t do meet n greets photographers have to sign contracts if they want to make pictures of them onstage television crews are only allowed to film like 90 seconds of the show although exceptions are being made just have a look at MTV and everybody talks about them again An alternative review is available here Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Donington 96 Review Donington 96 Review Donington 96 Review Donington

and went to my hotel room and got a shower and did some sightseeing as I mentioned previously I saw alot of my buddies at the band s hotel the Park Hyatt I met up with Doc McGhee and we chatted I went over to hang out with Eric SInger and my buddies I later had my picture taken with Eric I then met Ace s security guard and showed him the gifts I had bought Ace for his 50th birthday a black onyx and silver ring and a silver bracelet and showed him the picture of me and Ace together and the guard took the picture up to Ace and he said he would tell Ace I was there This is around 4 30pm Mind you other fans show up and the hotel manager wanted to throw them out Ace s guard kept me isolated so Ace could talk to me privately but they said that he the guard said they could stay Ace s guard got upset wit them for putting him on the spot can t blame him About 5 30pm Ace s guard comes down with my picture personally autographed to me reading To Terri Rock On Ace Frehley 2001 with the little card and heart I decide to stay near the elevator and wait as it is nearing 6 30pm Here is something funny I had to go to the bathroom but I held it LOL About 6 30pm I see Ace s guard then Shannon Ace s girlfriend and then ACE Ace s guard then tells him Ace this woman has some presents for you I gave him the ring and the bracelet and card I introduced myself and we chatted a bit I introduced myself

that night He asked me If I had a ticket and I told him I did I thought that was very nice of him to do so He then put the ring and bracelet in his pocket and said Thank you I then spoke with his girlfriend nbsp The show that night was great THe band was pretty tight They sound alot better with SInger Sorry Gene chewed out a lighting operator and Paul also chewed out some tech Ace played very well a few mistakes here and there but a solid performance It was very exciting for me to see them again Even before the show it was exciting to hear the Who s Won t Get Fooled Again and watch that curtain drop As for Eric his playing was just phenomenal I loved his solo as well I sat eleventh row for this show nbsp During Detroit Rock CIty when they flashed Ace s hands on the big screens I noticed that he was WEARING MY RING I was in HEAVEN He wore the ring on his right hand on the index finger Ace wore the bracelet as well Ace wore the ring and the bracelet for the remaining Australian dates as well God did that feel great nbsp April 4 2001 nbsp I just had lunch at the Park Hyatt and left I was not feeling well with laryngitis that would last the ENTIRE TIME I was in Australia until the 16th I had lousy seats for that show but was walking around and came across a Tiketek and upgraded my seat to SECOND ROW Anyway I decided to just stand outside and gab with the other KISS fans who were standing outside the hotel We watched the band leave Gene and Paul left in one vehicle a Tarago Eric Tommy and Doc were in another Tarago and Ace was in his own with his guard and his girlfriend Ace and his guard waved to me as they went by nbsp THe show that night was ROCKIN This time the entire band was ON Ace was ON all night He just played so great I wound up in the FRONT ROW It was not hard to sneak up there LOL IT was awesome I loved it I took pictures and everything Unfortunately there was a stage jumper near the end There was a scuffle with a couple of guards with the stage jumper Then the jumper got to shake hands with Gene and Paul and Paul announced something like the next jumper will get their ass kicked Well Ace saw me in the front row and gave me the thumbs up during 100 000 years He also threw me his towel BUT HOWEVER some ASSHOLE stole it from me I was very upset I mentioned it to my friends and well guess what happened the next night nbsp April 5 2001 Melbourne nbsp I was so depressed after the previous nights show that I only stayed at the after show party at the Mercury Lounge at the Crown Casino for a few minutes The band showed up but went to a VIP section Anyway I had an eleventh row seat and I just was wondering how in the hell was I going to get up front There were no tickets better than mine available there were tons available but nothing better So at the show I walked down to my seat and this guard moved and I just kept on walking and right to the front row This time I was on Ace s side I was on Gene s side the previous night During the show Ace came out and threw me a towel which I got There is much more to the story but as I previously said I am holding back the details for personal reasons I took pictures too nbsp THis was another great show also The Medley was phenomenal IT included Mr SPeed STrutter Rocket RIde She Parasite Makin Love and Goin Blind Gene was getting pissed at Ace He said something like Anything

him Anyway good show nbsp AT both shows when Paul said When we come to Australia we think that all we see are kangaroos Ace hopped like a kangaroo That was funny nbsp On the way to soundcheck for the second Sydney show Ace said Hi Terri Cool huh nbsp August 12 2001 nbsp My friend Noela and I drive down I flew into Brisbane and she picked me up the day before to the Gold Coast We check into our hotel Jupiters Casino whee the band also was staying and go down to the loby to get something to eat and we run into Ace s guard We chat The guard is waiting for Ace After awhile Ace and his

2001 DREAMS CAN COME TRUE Melbourne Crown Casino 10 00 pm nbsp It all started on the 3rd of April 2001 the day of the long waited KISS concert I was stressed that day because the removalists were coming a day earlier After 3 long hours of putting on my Gene Simmons make up we got to the concert The Rod laver arena looked unreal we got their quite early early enough to change my life Joanne Gonzalo and myself all scanned our tickets to get through the turnstile as the metal bars churned with movement I had my eye caught on something something red something which involved a big bold header of KISS AFTER PARTY MERCURY LOUNGE APRIL 4TH 2001 Next day a cold night There was nothing in the house except the creepy sounds of the crickets I left home at about 9 15pm to meet Gonz at 10 00pm I was still pissed off with my mates for pulling out Frankie said Man I doubt they will be there what about the Bon Jovi rumour I jumped in the car and took off While I was driving down the Western Ring Road I had a silent prayer I don t know the exact words of it but it was something along the lines of Dear God I know there is more important things to worry about like world peace but if I could meet KISS it would be instant bliss Got to the casino just before 10pm The plan was to meet Gonz outside Sanity music store in the crown casino Ironically the store was playing Kiss music so I was preoccupied in song until Gonz rocked up I met Gonz at about 10 15pm MERCURY LOUNGE nbsp We decided not to waste any time and go straight to the lounge The good thing was that it was free before 11 00pm It was dead when we got in they were playing all sorts of crappy music The Mercury lounge is a nightclub as such Its a rock club They have a big dance floor and to the left of it there is a bar They also have an upstairs section which overlooks the dance floor and another smaller room which is titled Spy Bar Gonz and I were getting impatient as there was nothing to do A band called Blimp 69 came on and played requests no kiss tunes After the bands set a video came on the large screen it was the Kiss Xtreme video More and more people came in until it was packed I managed to look upstairs and I saw people up there and by the staircase a security guard was there and next to him was a barrier I thought to myself why would there be a barrier when people are up there Another band came on called Stamp they did a couple of covers more so originals Gonz and I thought we might take a walk We got near the other staircase where another guard and barrier was there Gonz then shouted to me wait a minute is that Paul Stanley I quickly turned and glanced up and just outside the Spy Bar was Mr Stanley We shouted he only waved I was ecstatic with excitement I could feel the anticipation in my blood it was like there was a party in my body and everyone was invited it was an awesome feeling About a minute after Gene Simmons came out with a girl I couldn t believe my luck and the funny thing was that the band was still playing and no one noticed that Paul and Gene was here so there was only a handful of us I thought to myself heres my chance to make myself noticed so I screamed to him I even started to show him my tattoo but I don t think he noticed Gene was with a girl as I was saying before which really isn t unusual but Gene started to lift her top to show the little handful of people her goodies The girls was resisting but laughing at the same time Gene made a gesture to beg her So me being me I did it he then noticed me and pointed to me to show the girl that we are begging Gene then told me to come closer he said to me Say Bunny I was rapped he actually talked to me I raised my hand and the I started to chant Bunny the whole handful crowd started to chant with me Gene then looked at the girl and pointed to us he then without hesitation started to lift her top very slowly until it all was exposed Gene then unzipped his pants and showed his ass It was so funny he then proceeded to walk back in the spy lounge with her nbsp I thought to myself I have to get upstairs A security guard was near me I approached him and asked How much to get upstairs The guard smiled with a smart ass grin and said one thousand dollars I said How about you do me a favour and let me up there for free He proceeded to say Not a problem Ill let you up there and lose my job with a smart ass voice I thought to myself I am getting no where I looked at Gonz and said Dude I have to get upstairs I am going to try to get up Gonz smiled and said he was going to stay there I looked around the balcony thinking of a way to climb up but I quickly dismissed that notion when I saw the other staircase and the Security guard in deep discussion with someone I thought that Ill try the direct approach and pretend I am supposed to be up there I started to walk to towards the guard my stomach was going to explode I wanted to make it As I approached the guard was still talking and his hand was on the barrier he started to move it back for me to get in I started to walk up the stair case I was ecstatic with passion It worked But that all faded when he grabbed my arm and said Have you got a pass I reacted quickly and replied with a calm voice I m touring with the Jets I couldn t believe I said that but he let go of my arm and said he was sorry MERCURY LOUNGE UPSTAIRS SECTION PRIVATE FUNCTION I couldn t believe that that actually worked I walked upstairs to find very few people around I could see the spy lounge it was a little room with two misty glass doors all you could see was shadows I knew they were in there A big bouncer was outside he wouldn t let anyone in except people with backstage passes or girls nbsp I went over near the other staircase where I saw Gene before I was keeping low because I didn t want that smart ass guard to see me I managed to see Gonz still there I waved to him he looked up at me and couldn t believe it His expression on his face was priceless I really couldn t explain it I felt like a duck out of water up there it was all mini celebs and gorgeous women every where I looked I went straight to the toilet which was next door the Spy Bar I walked through the toilet door and noticed another door facing the side of the spy lounge On the door it wrote NO ENTRY I passed the door and went in the mens toilet I called Gonz on his mobile It was hard to speak to Gonz to tell him how I fooled the security guard because people just kept walking in and I had to act cool and try to blend in After walking around upstairs by myself I had to try and look occupied I didn t want to get thrown out Ace all of a sudden appeared near the entrance of the Spy Bar my eyes lit up I was so happy I went straight up to him and shook his hand I couldn t really talk to him because he wanted to get inside I thought to myself not to worry I ll see him later At this point in time I tried to make conversation with people it was hard because they were all snobby guests I managed to get with a group of fans that were given the passes for upstairs The funny thing was is that they thought I was roadie for Kiss So they were nbsp really nice to me They asked me if I was American and what part of America are you from I tried to put on my best American accent and told them I was from California They were really interested in me they even bought me a coke as I was on the job While I was in their group Paul came out of the Spy Bar and walked around heres my chance to meet him I went to Paul shook his hand but he was in a rush I think he was trying to look for someone Sure enough Gene came out he was stopped by a few people He kept walking around and he got closer and closer till he had his back to me I tapped him on the shoulder and shook his hand I then said It is great to see you He looked tired and he proceeded to work towards the balcony He was by himself I wanted badly to talk to him so I followed him He turned around and saw me and said I m exhausted he put his arm around me and said Why don t you find yourself a girlfriend I was still shocked I really couldn t move here is the man Gene Simmons with his arm around me talking to me I told him very nervously that I can t He then pointed to five women dancing in the middle of the upper section and walked away After that fantastic experience I thought I was in heaven I rejoined the group of kiss fans By this time my mobile phone beeped It was a message from Andy I told him previously that I had to try to make it upstairs to see kiss the message read You are a legend This must be a dream come true for you Do all that you can take the risks and have the best night of you life KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS The time was 1 52am I laughed and wished Andy was with me I managed to see Ace again he was near the toilet with a group of guys drinking corona and smoking a cigarette I looked at him trying to find the right moment to approach him But that moment never came so I interrupted and stuck my hand out In one hand Ace had a smoke and in the other was a beer so he laughed and looked at me and lifted his hands he then shook my hand and held his smoke at the same time He was with a woman with a leopard jacket that looked stunning I went back to the boys they told me they had to go I felt worried as I had no one to hang out with I then got a call from Gonz he said to try and get him a pass to come up I told him to meet me near the balcony and said ill come down Now I cant believe I did this because I faced the risk of not being allowed up I must have been on drugs At first I asked the security guards at both ends if Gonz could come up but the answer was the NO So I walked down the staircase and asked the guard if I could go out and come back in The guard said Do you have your pass on you I told him no He said ok Ill let you come back up What a fucking risk I took Back downstairs I met with Gonz and told him so far what happened he couldn t believe it he told me to get hi a pass I said ill try I walked back to the staircase and the guard let me back up lucky I went back to the toilet and saw James James is a member of the Screaming Jets he was areal nice guy he was pissed out of his head but still I nice guy Gonz called me as I was speaking to James I asked James if he could get Gonz up here James replied with I don t have my pass on me I then asked him if he could get me in the Spy Bar He said he couldn t I told him thanks and I told Gonz ill keep trying As I was leaving James walked through the NO ENTRY door which led to the Spy Bar I looked on with great interest until a guy came out and stopped me following him I said can I get in he said No way I walked through the door and tried to ask people for their pass I tried to explain to them about Gonz and that I could borrow their pass But no one would say yes which is understandable I rang Gonz and told him I couldn t get a pass He said that he is going to leave I said just hold on for five minutes At this time Kiss weren t leaving the Spy Bar I was getting annoyed because I never saw enough of them and at the same time I was happy that at least I got to shake their hands I was thinking a way to sneak into the Spy Bar I was nervous because I didn t want to get thrown out I thought I will have more luck trying to get into the NO ENTRY door I walked towards the toilet and walked in No one was there I was thinking of a way to get in all of a sudden the toilet door swung open and in walked Doc Mcgee Kiss manager I said hello and shook his hand quickly before he had a piss I walked out of the toilet and waited looking at the NO ENTRY DOOR I tried to open it but it was locked I was cursing The toilet door swung open again and Doc walked out used a key and walked in the NO ENTRY DOOR as he walked through the door started to close but it didn t close all the way I walked straight to the door opened it and walked in SPY BAR KISS PRIVATE ROOM I cant explain the feeling I got once I walked in straight away I turned the corner and saw that same guy that blocked me off before I quickly turned and walked the other way Beside me was a seat I quickly sat down Just opposite me was Ace Frehley sitting down relaxing talking to a couple of guys I was just in owe I couldn t see around the corner and I didn t want to get up and walk around yet so I just sat there looking at Ace All of sudden Ace yelled out who s got the time I quickly raced to my phone and yelled out 3 22pm everyone looked at me funny but Ace said Thanks The room was quite small with about four couch s to the right of me was a bar but that s all I could see in this view I noticed that James from the Screaming Jets was there he had his back to me I watched Ace until he got up and walked to the bar I then tapped James on the shoulder and said Hello He looked at me at first not recognising me but he then clicked and said You got in about time I tried to get you in before I left the door open I thought you would have jerried anyway let me introduce you the rest of the band Screaming jets I don t want to be rude but what was your name again I replied Matthew He then proceeded to introduce me to his engineer who earlier I asked if I could have his pass to get Gonz in as which he said no and the other members of the band the last person which he introduced to me was David Leeson the lead singer of Screaming Jets He had a cap on and beer in his hand I shook his hand and told him Its really nice meeting you which he replied likewise James then put his arm around me and said I ve known this guy since grade 2 I used to bash him and his back for vengeance just look how tall he is now The other members actually believed this story in which James said I m only kidding I started talking to Dave telling him that the Jets rocked etc We talked for a while when a girl approached us she said she was 32 but she looked younger She then blurted out stupid things until she mentioned the Rainbow Cafe in the US I recognised this name and said that Gunners had a Video clip Don t cry outside that Cafe in which they both agreed Dave told me that he met Lemmie from Motorhead there and that he hangs out there every night The girl whose name I forgot started coming on to Dave and me I told her that I wasn t interested and Dave showed his wedding ring but that didn t stop her giving her number to him Dave then told me that he once went to a bar in New York and saw Mike Munro A Current Affair wasted on Alcohol I laughed He then said that he had to go and at the same time even though Dave was a great guy I wanted to explore this bar and talk to Kiss We said our goodbyes and I walked to the bar I could now see the entrance where the big body guard stood blocking people through the misty doors I stood at the bar near Ace he was leaning on it talking to a couple of American dudes I just stood there looking at him as if I was in line for a drink I laughed because Ace was drinking a Vb After standing there for a while one of those American dudes asks me What s your twenty I replied What are you talking about another one of the guys said He means where are you And laughed That only proved to me that yanks are wanks nbsp I sat down on one of the couch s facing the misty doors I was surprised to see Eric singer in his short black hair with two beautiful girls sitting on his lap This was amazing I was so lucky this is the best night of my life I sat there for a while looking around until Gene walked in and out of all the places he sat next to me I couldn t believe this My mouth was open at the time in excitement he turned and looked at me and closed my mouth by pushing up my chin Two girls came and sat on Gene I thought to myself what a legend he is 53 and he is still pulling in girls half his age Another guy sat next him covered in Tatts he had a few kiss tatts which Gene signed I couldn t talk to him I was stunned but I told him that It was a pleasure and a honour to finally meet you he replied Thankyou in which he stood up and I hugged him nbsp I then took off my top and got Gene to sign my arm to reveal my Tattoo The guy with the tatts looked at hit and said That looks unreal Gene proceeded to sign my arm He said goodbye to me and walked out of the Spy Bar At this time everyone was asked to leave because Kiss have already left I didn t even see the others leave While I was in the Bar I never saw Paul he must have left early Later on I was told by Gonz that he left earlier on that night I was in this room looking at my favourite band for about one hour It was so unrealistic LEAVING THE MERCURY LOUNGE nbsp I walked out through the front of the misty doors down the stairs and out of the lounge I immediately rang Andy and told him of the news I then rang Gonz and told him what happened It was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life I was so happy I cant explain the emotions I was feeling I hung out with the greatest rock band in the world KISS I conclude by saying this what was the odds of Kiss turning up at the lounge what was the odds of me seeing them upstairs what was the odds of me passing security and getting upstairs without a pass what was the odds of me getting in the Spy Bar without a access pass It was like winning Tattslotto nbsp THANKS Thanks to Matthew for

St and the Grand Concourse on May 20 2001 all the way from Lexington Ky Coming along with me was one of my best friends and fellow Ace fanatic Deb Cascio who also does the Jokes Of Ace Page at KISSONLINE from Rockford Illinois Well it was a very cool ceremony Deb and I arrived there at around 9 15 9 30 or so maybe a little earlier We saw some of the celebrities arriving Diann Carroll KRS One We met up with Carol Kaye Ace s publicist and she said that Ace would arrive in a few minutes Sure enough someone said He s here I saw Ace and his girlfriend Shannon get out of the limo I would say Ace arrived at about 10AM Anyway I went up to him gave him a hug and a kiss congratulated him and he said Hi Terri His girlfriend Shannon said Gosh you re everywhere LOL Then he went in Deb got to say hi to him too but I will let HER tell HER side of the story on her and her friend Steve s website KISSCELLANEOUS http www geocities com kiscellaneous nbsp Anyway I do want to say THANK GOD Deb came with me and was inquisitive enough to ask what the hell was going on because we were under the impression the ceremony was going to be outside nbsp Well she asked this very nice volunteer who told her I am not going to lie to you there is a ceremony inside So we went inside and th ere was some ceremony for the volunteers or something like that and we watched that for a bit and then got up and then sat in these white chairs and I could see a bunch of KISS fans standing by the elevators Anyway we are watching the ceremony and I just happened to look around and there was Ace signing stuff I tap Deb s arm and we both go join the other fans and we took pictures of him and I g ot Ace to sign a picture of me and him together in Australia wearing my ring and bracelet you can t see the bracelet but you can see the ring Well Ace was busting my chops when he saw the picture He said Now this must be in Australia LOL and he stuck his tongue out a little bit LOL I got my picture taken with him as well and gave him a kiss As for Deb go to her nbsp KISSCELLANEOUS site for her experience Then Deb and I went back into the room after Ace had gone back up into the elevator we were also told by the volunteer that Ace was in a room cooling off because he was hot and Deb I believe inquired if we could sit anywhere we wanted and we got the OK So people were getting up to leave from the volunteer ceremony and I saw two seats in the front row but I decided to follow Deb and she saw a seat in the front row that was a bit more centered AT first I had to sit two seats down from Deb but then a woman removed the stuff on the seat in between Deb and me and I moved right next to Deb At 11 30am they had all these Bronx Public Officials and all that introducing the inductees as they came down to sit at the tables Ace came down and wound up sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF US We got some great pictures Ace like the others went up and made a little speech thanking his fans for coming etc He received a certificate plague He was really humbled We noticed Ace having a nice conversation with the baseball player forgot his name sitting next to him We got to hear his cackle It was awesome sitting five feet away from him After the indoor ceremony we all walked out for the outside ceremony nbsp Here is something cool Deb and I ran into our friend Susan and we were waiting around and there was Ace coming out and we all walked out of the building together along with Ace s publicist Carol Kaye her husband Ricky Byrd and Ace s girlfriend Shannon God it was like being with Ace s entourage LOL The outdoor ceremony had the inductees all following each other and they were introduced then they made a speech and then they pulled a rope and a street sign in their honor with their name on it would be revealed Deb and I followed a little bit but we decided to got to Ace s sign which Deb noticed when we got there earlier My friend Phil in NY shot a pictu re of Ace eatin a hot dog and Ace got annoyed and said quot Enough quot Anyway when it was finally Ace s turn he jokingly remarked that the letters could have been a little bigger Then Deb Susan and I went for lunch and came back for the parade and Deb got pictures of that because I had run out of film I found out later that I had MORE UGH Then my friend Phil drove Deb Susan and me back to Penn Station and that was our day This was definitely one of the biggest honors for me as a Ace Frehley fan to attend Ace s ceremony I have had the pleasure of meeting him in the US and in Australia on the Farewell Tour and giving him a black onyx and silver ring and silver bracelet for his 50th birthday However this event definitely has to rank amongst the greatest things I have ever done being out there supporting Ace Frehley

Street Sydney 2nd February 2002 This event went off quite smoothly Bruce arrived at about 4 10pm he looked very tired as he just got off the plane at Sydney airport and brought straight to Utopia Records Utopia Records are some what a memorabilia shop They sell all types of records and collections from around the world including bands like Guns N Roses Pink Floyd The Beatles etc and of course Kiss They have a great selection of music ranging from 60s and 70s hard rock to Industrial metal and what I thought was a great venue for this event There was a fairly large queue of good natured fans extending from babies to parents I was fortunate to get my picture taken with the man himself and even though he was very tired he still managed to put on a happy face and signed everything anyone put in front of him well into the late afternoon Bruce Kulick Kiss Party at Bar Broadway Sydney 3rd February 2002 Bar Broadway is situated in the heart of Sydney s entertainment district close by you have China town and the Broadway cinema s Inside the bar there is two levels On the ground floor it consisted of a couple of pool tables a bar at the end and a few tv s However upstairs it was completely different there was a huge stage facing the windows a few chairs and tables which most were take away for the gig and to the left there was a bar Kiss fans of all sizes were lined up outside it was a great feeling to be amongst them again As the doors opened we rushed in and up the stairs Music was blaring televisions were alive with concerts from last year to the right of the stage stood a table full of Kiss merchandise from your Kiss masks to Kiss Video s It was swamped in about half a minute and next to it was a stall for copies of Bruce s solo album Audio Dog At the beginning of the night karoke and trivia questions were first People did their best impressions of Paul and Gene when they were singing but didn t come off so well Finally it was time to introduce the first band of the night called Stand by this time the club was full and we were all in full excitement mode As soon as the band came on it was time to rock they were fantastic they played all originals and the lead singer looked like the famous Paul Stanley Stand played for about 45mins and I think it gave Bruce credit for choosing them But everyone had one thing on their mind Bruce Kulick We all knew Stand would be playing with Bruce so we were looking forward to his entry The lights went dim the name Bruce was being chanted we could here noises behind the curtain to the stage and then a familiar tune the curtain pulled back to reveal Bruce and Stand playing Crazy Nights It was brilliant Bruce was at his prime doing all his old solos it brought back a lot of fond memories He was wearing a black bandanna and wearing a silver chain which read NYO He wore a goatee and looked alive They played a few Kiss tunes like Domino I Still Love you which sounded fantastic with the lead singer of Stand Tears are Falling Hide your Heart Love Gun He played a few tracks from Audio Dog in where he took to lead singer and sounded great in Never Me I manag ed to grab a set list of this song that was on the floor next to Bruce Bruce brought up the Aussie slang a fair bit which I thought was hilarious It all ended spectacularly with Shout it out loud as an encore During that song I managed to catch a drumstick and guitar pick so I did quite well nbsp It was a fantastic show which lasted about 90 mins all up we were there for the best part of 4 hours and was well worth the money Bruce stuck around after the show to sign autographs of his album Audio Dog the man is a trooper nbsp It was great meeting and listening to him live again we can all only hope that Bruce Kulick will be back this way again soon as he will be most welcome I would like to express by thanks to Paul Finn of www kissinuk com and Chris White of www kulick net to allow me to share my experience s with millions of Kiss

very good We re halfway through it I ve said before we started that I ve the feeling that this tour is gonna do better then the last few years And it has We ve a better assistances and it Rocks on stage We ran through old favourite rites of passage anthems along with newer material from Brutal Planet and Dragontown The crowd is so loud wild and excited and Alice is in a very good shape What s amazing is that he s able to transcend this ageless stage persona to new generations You ve known some great moments in 2002 First when Kiss played Rock n Roll All Nite during the closing ceremony of the XIX olympic winter games in Salt Lake City nbsp Oh Yes of course because it was such an amazing big world event Everybody have seen it nbsp Probably more people sought Kiss that day then they sought the band in their all career before this That s how big it was You also played with Brian May and Roger Taylor in Amsterdam The time of a show you were a member of Queen and the dream came true Brian and Roger are two great musicians singers and songwriters It was very special for me since I am a huge Queen fan nbsp I ve worked with Brian may in his solo band in 1998 I also played with Queen last November for a benefit concert in London in honor of the 10th anniversary of Freddy Mercury s death But obviously the concert we did in Amsterdam was very special because there was so many people there and it was a surprise The folks did not expect this nbsp You played with other famous rock bands or people like Black Sabbath Gary Moore in the past but your collaboration with The Cult is less known nbsp Well I ve worked on some demos for their Sonic Temple album Ian Astbury and Bill Duffy asked me to record the album with them but at the same time I was a member of Badlands For some contractual reasons I was not able to do the final cut Eight of the twenty five demos I ve recorded appear on The Cult box set nbsp Back to Kiss Some fans hold it against you for putting Peter s make up on How does it affect you I think there are more important concerns on earth I don t care about that kind of attitude nbsp The most eager lads like to claim tat you ve no integrity because you played with so many different bands The truth is out there Lot of fans don t understand They think that people can t leaving their band That s not so easy It s not like in the three Musketeers one for all all for one When I go home next month the tour is stopped which means I m out of job again I must find another deal to pay my bill as you pay rent you ve to pay for food or your car and all these things I m not different than anyone else I choose to be a drummer for a living When one job end I go on to find something else to do That s the life of being a hired gun nbsp Tell us about the song Rock n Roll Radio you recorded with Paul and Gene for the Ramones tribute album I play the drums part Gene is on bass and Paul did all the guitars There is also a keyboard player and a saxophone section done by Scott Paige who worked with Pink Floyd I don t know when the record comes out Probably this month but somebody told me the other day that it got postponed I can t tell you more Paul Stanley says last year that you ve given the band the drumming the band needed to move forward The decision to recall Peter Criss must be confusing nbsp Look Gene and Paul do whatever they choose to do I have no control over it It s their band and what can I say Sometimes their do things that disappointed not only me but a lot of people What can justify their decision to recall Peter you ve to ask them nbsp Do you know if Ace will return in the band for the Kiss symphony nbsp I ve met Ace two weeks ago He told me he was not on board but things can change quickly I say there is 50 he will perform in Australia Time will tell nbsp The rumours about Kiss reuniting with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer to do a non makeup tour are of course unjustified Yeah Meanwhile I don t think Kiss will put the makeup off It would be too scary nbsp laughs Do you have some new projects Right now I m just on tour with Alice I m just keeping doing that until the 15th December and then I go home have a break and see what happens next I thought that I was back in Kiss but the situation changed in an unexpected way I don t make big plans nbsp You had only just arrived from Stockholm and you made your way to a Kiss convention here in Holland You signed the autographs for all the fans and played some songs with a cover band It is supposed to be a day off so where do you find all that energy nbsp Even when I m tired part of me says go ahead do your best do some extra for the fans I rather do this than be staying home or working in a factory and be unhappy I worked regular jobs before when I was younger so I know what is like to do something you don t like for a living I know what the feels like When you re tired you ve to realize that sometimes you ve to give a little effort because it s a blessing to do the job that you ve always dreamed nbsp THANKS Thanks to Philippe for the report and pictures nbsp OTHER REPORTS Unholy Downunder also by Matt Atlanta Columbia Knoxville Detroit E Rutherford

It was seven thirty ...%%==%%8969%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% NEC Birmingham 20th November 96 Kiss Review Review by the newest member of the KISS army my fiance Wendy It was seven thirty five on the 20 November in a not so full Birmingham NEC arena everyone eager for the support band to hurry up and make an appearance and then make way for the real reason everyone was there KISS I doubt anyone had even heard of Verve Pipe but I was prepared to watch and listen with an open mind ear I can t say they wowed me or the rest of the crowd either especially by wrecking the classic Strawberry Fields for their finale No one even seemed to notice they were there although they tried to make their presence known by playing louder and louder but to no avail A lot seemed more interested in getting their face air brushed with KISS on one cheek and a spider on the other a few more daring ones had their faces done to match one or other of their KISS faves When the lights came back up the arena was beginning to fill and by half past eight it was pretty much packed to capacity Not long after the lights went down and the crowd prepared for the great show Just from seeing the outline of the KISS logo on the mega size curtain at the front of the stage brought amazing excitement After the traditional introduction ALL RIGHT BIRMINGHAM YOU WANTED THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS There was a great flash of light the curtain ripped in two and fell to the floor as they started kicking out Deuce It was amazing the sound was good and the visuals even better I stared on in amazement Slightly marred only by Ace s rock jig being a little out of time with Paul and Gene Still Next came King of the Night Time World and then Do You Love Me which had a cool new ending Then Starchild announced quot I know some of you have Rock n Roll pneumonia so we better call out the doctor quot Then the arena of fans shouted almost in unison Doctor Love as they started to play After this was Watchin You Let me go Rock n Roll and the brilliant I Stole your Love with the fans getting more into it with each song No encouragement to join in was needed although throughout the show Demon raised his leather wings indicating we should clap and sing along even louder The next song was Shout it Out Loud which was one of my personal favourites they really kicked ass That was followed by Firehouse with the obligatory fire coming out of the floor and everywhere Towards the end came the fire engine sirens and then Gene emerged from the left of the stage with a baton of fire and breathed it into the air It wasn t as good as I ve seen previously as it didn t go very far into the air but it was still pretty spectacular Then it was Ace s turn in the limelight as he performed Shock Me with a never ending guitar solo During this smoke began to pour out of his guitar and he toured the stage to escape it eventually the guitar flew into the air which seemed to indicate the end of the solo But no he reappeared with another guitar and went on again After an eternity it ended and I m sure even the most dedicated Ace fan was relieved when he finished One of the highlights though was when he was shooting rockets out of his guitar and one of them hit a stage light and completely bust it C mon and Love Me was played for the first time on the reunion tour and it sounded great It was introduced by Paul making comments about some of the female fans towards the front of the arena and him saying quot What s the phrase Gagging for a Shagging quot It sounds quite crude but actually it was quite amusing to hear such an English phrase uttered by the great one Paul also introduced the following song by warning us all against drinking and driving as if we did we may not be around in May when they want to come back and see us He added if we did drink as it was so hot why not drink Cold Gin We obviously had to shout this back several times before they would play it I must admit this isn t usually one of my favourites but I really enjoyed the live version Maybe it appealed to me more as Gene sang half and Ace sang half which I thought was very effective Love Gun was truly fabulous definitely one of the highlights and a great introduction from Mr Stanley Pretending to use his guitar as a gun We obviously all knew what was coming next but he followed this up by saying quot It s eight inches of cold hard steel It hurts but you know it feels good quot I can t speak for his steel but the song sure felt good They were really pulling out the stops now if possible getting better with each song God of Thunder had to be the major highlight for me It was introduced by Gene spitting blood to the sound of his bass and about halfway through the song he flew to the top of the stage and landed on a platform where he performed the rest of the song Fire shot up from the ceiling floor and everywhere as Gene tried to cope with the dripping blood On more than one occasion I saw him wiping it with his hand to stop it dripping everywhere As he somehow made his dismount the others started belting out New York Groove again a major highlight At the end Ace even sang quot Back in the Birmingham Groove quot which proved at least he knew where he was Ace also impressed us with his flashing light guitar which added to the ever tremendous effects The Cat Man got his turn next which was only fair as we didn t see him for much of the show For me I think they could have used Peter a bit more by maybe including Beth or Hard Luck Woman but each to their own Black Diamond was nothing short of spectacular it really got the crowd going who seemed to have forgotten about the little cat at the back Not for long though as at the end of the song Peter and his drums rose up towards the ceiling on a massive platform At the same time Ace and Paul on the right side of the stage and Gene on the left were propelled towards the crowd on a crane like contraption After this they made their first goodnight After shouts of more and stamping feet and the like which seemed to last almost as long as an Ace solo the four emerged again Detroit Rock City OK so I m running short of different words for brilliant and great took us to the penultimate song of I was made for loving you Paul claimed it was the first time they played it live in 17 years even though it appears on Alive III from the Revenge tour of 1992 he clearly doesn t count that Everyone knew what was coming next and although we all wanted to hear the song desperately in a way we didn t as we knew it signalled the end of a memorable show The Rock anthem Rock and Roll all Nite was played with gusto and passion a true summary of the whole show You will never know truly what a KISS show is like unless you witness it and once witnessed you will never forget it I wanted the best I got the very best KISS Deuce King of the Night Time World Do You Love Me Dr Love Watchin You Let me go Rock n Roll I Stole your Love Shout It Out Loud Firehouse Shock Me C mon and Love Me Cold Gin Love Gun God of Thunder New York Groove Black Diamond Detroit Rock City I was made for Lovin You Rock and Roll All

Nottingham during the signing session Martin Curtis another UK KISS fan informed Mark of KISSin UK Mark then told me to ring him in his hotel room if I wanted an interview Mark amp me at the expo Picture Martin Curtis Straight after the show I gave him a ring and woke him up Not thinking that he d be up for doing an interview he told me to meet him in the lobby in 15 minutes I went down and sure enough there he was he said he was hungry so we went down to Pizza Hut for a take away meeting loads of other KISS fans on the way Then we went back to the hotel for the interview and pizza you wouldn t believe how surreal it was wondering the streets of Nottingham with an ex KISS guitarist All I can say is thank you very much to Mark he was very friendly and a very cool bloke to talk to MSJ Mmmm delicious English pizza PF Did you have a good time tonight then enjoy it all MSJ Yeah seemed like everyone liked the Q amp A I know not everyone likes that kind of thing some people get bummed out and stuff PF You got a good reception better than Peter Criss 9 years ago he was nearly booed off stage MSJ Oh really laughs Mark with Dan at Pizza Hut PF He threw someone out for video recording him didn t go down too well MSJ Peter can be really harsh he don t care you know I learned to play both sides a little bit better That s why I didn t want to say too many bad things about Paul or Gene it always gets back to them Not that they can do me no harm but if they get asked questions they definitely have a chance to get back at me PF I wouldn t worry too much about that although he s well respected by fans most people know that Gene can be a bit harsh towards ex members at times MSJ Oh yeah I know that laughs PF Was Paul any easier to get on with MSJ Paul s a little insecure about all things When I first got in the band Gene wanted to get me in the band nbsp Paul didn t want me because you know of the competition between guitar players He was all like You re too good but I was like whatever cause really I knew that he didn t want to be upstaged because of the Vinnie thing Vinnie really twisted him up I couldn t really help that PF What exactly happened to your hand that made them bring in Bruce MSJ The hand Like I said I wanted to go back to California it was mostly just stress but I went to a bunch of doctors and one morning I woke up and it was like twice the size My Achilles heal and my kneecap were swollen too I had to go back in like a week to New York to start rehearsing for a UK tour I called and told them Paul amp Gene about it and they sent me to all the best Beverly Hills doctors It was quite tricky cause none of them could figure out what it was I went to a hand specialist neurologist a cardio what do you call it finally I went to a rheumatologist and they told me I had arthritis That s when I went to the hospital to get fixed up they went on tour without me came back picked me up I did part of the tour and then they decided they would have Bruce I wasn t really happy being in the band anyway I couldn t see my self being there after 5 years After the first album it was just like I didn t get along with them I mean like they re New Yorkers I m Californian I d say something like quot bitchen quot it s just a word right And he d get up and say quot don t you ever say that word again quot And I went quot okay fine it s just a word it s just a word quot laughs everyone had heard of that word back in 84 They d always have to have their way they d tell me like quot don t let people work in front of you you always walk in front of them quot just all these things like do this do that just like being in the army It was alright but I like to give people some space you know like there was this time we were in a limousine just Gene and I I looked behind us as we were trying to turn right the limousine driver had with us our security bodyguard and travel agent Anyway we were in upstate New York and there were some fans in a mustang car following us and it was like all hilly going up to 5000 feet We went down a hill and it was foggy they were trying to see the van and limo they were all drunk and stuff and they were trying to follow us I could see everything cause I was looking backwards and everyone else was looking forward I remember looking backwards and they were trying to pass us we went round one corner and they carried on right off the hill I m literally seeing this car flying right off the hill and I start freaking out Gene s like picking a pickle off his hamburger quot this happens to us all the time quot and I m going quot pull over quot he s like quot we can t pull over quot I said maybe we could pull one of them out and save them So about 15 or 20 minutes later we come down the hill and Gene tells the security guard to go out and make a phonecall So nbsp he goes out to make his phonecall and he s back in like 1 minute and says quot they re all right quot laughs He only had time you know to open the telephone box door and he s back already they re fine Fuck it there was a couple of things like that PF Was Eric a bit easier to get on with MSJ Yeah Eric was cool Eric was cool But like he knew how far he could kid on and get away with things He too got all the bull shit though part of interview had to be cut here for legal reasons nothing bad but not worth risking PF I liked Eric Singer too but it must have been hard for him stepping into Erics shoes in that situation MSJ Yeah Eric s a great drummer so it must have been hard for him to do that Carr was a great drummer too but Eric Singer has played in more bands he was more experienced than Eric who was just a KISS guy You know Eric always had a can of super extra hold hairspray this big and every day he d use the whole can on his hair So you could throw a rock at it and it wouldn t mess up he could go in the wind or rain and nothing was messed up You know to me if he d been doing that every day he was in the band that s probably what caused his brain tumour as far as I m concerned You know all those chemicals and he used the whole can up every day even though he didn t need to use it PF Eric was well known for his big hair MSJ Oh yeah it really tripped me out When they said it was cancer a brain tumour I knew that s what it was PF It was heart cancer MSJ Oh yeah it was a sad day PF It was the same day as Freddie Mercury the UK media kind of left Eric out in the cold a bit MSJ Oh really I didn t realise it was the same day PF I m in touch with Eric s sister sometimes she s a great person she sent me one of Eric s tour booklets which is still one of my treasured possessions MSJ She s a nice lady actually sometimes she goes to the conventions too and they interview her for a short while I d like to talk to her again Mark from new album PF So how is your new album going then MSJ The sales I don t know although I ve broke even so far I ve sold enough to recoup all the money I ve put into it so that s good That s the main thing I put down a couple of months to the project A lot of people will take ill to an instrumental stuff but it s something that I wanted to do because the last two or three project I done with vocals and I want to expand on my guitar playing Because I am a quot musician musician quot meaning that I play more than just rock chords I play jazz I play classical rhythm and blues country middle eastern Although there s different facets of that like in jazz I play ensembles rumbas basenovas alpha cubin whatever bebop and stuff like that And on the cd you ve got the cd right Mark hands me a copy There s some acoustic work on it and electric work PF If the album does well will you do another one MSJ I m planning on doing one every two years but because I m not forced to do anything I m on my own time schedule Meaning that I don t hurt for money that bad well everyone s hurting for money but I don t have someone breathing down my throat saying do this now I like to take my time and sometimes I take too long but if something happens then it makes me feel good and I ll move on to something else feeling proud Otherwise I won t promote it or won t be around it you know how that is like you re embarrassed sometimes PF Have you got any plans for more KISS conventions MSJ I m doing one when I get back from here in Toronto Canada with Bruce PF With Bruce MSJ Yeah we ve done them before together I guess that as he got shot a lot more people will come to the conventions I don t mean that in a bad way but people will be curious as to what happened PF It was fairly big news over here MSJ It was very big news over in LA that s all they talked about it was like crazy I m sure it will make whatever he s doing more successful I know it will make KISS more successful when they said KISS guitarist shot in LA bar I was like Gene and Paul are just loving that Bad promotion good promotion it all counts PF Everyone knows how shit British tabloids are but in The Star they had Rockers KISS With Death with a big picture of Ace Frehley MSJ Oh my god laughs I heard one bullet just grazed his head though 2 bullets and another guy got shot in the foot This guy went to a club got kicked out came back with a gun and just started shooting at people outside the club Pizzas were then finished and I wrapped up PF Thanks a lot Mark MSJ Well thanks so much for your hospitality hopefully I ll read the site back in LA Anyway I m going Amsterdam tomorrow then I m flying back here to London and then flying back to LA after that I m going to be burned out PF You ll be knackered MSJ I m already burned out PF Thanks Mark Once again I d like to say a big thank you to Mark he made my day THANKS Thanks to Mark for giving me his time and for being so helpful nbsp nbsp

read Robert Duncan s KISS of death biography you will know how important Madison Square Garden venue is in New York concert folklore and KISS s first headlining show there in 1976 Paul s comment about driving a taxi cab to and from the venue before KISS and dreaming he would play at the Garden some day Sunday morning passed the Garden s backstage area witnessing the load in for the evening concert Bus load of crew being dropped outside Everything in the USA is bigger and the buses and lorries are no exceptions Walked up 7th Avenue taking snaps of a phone box KISS advert and a huge KISS Aerosmith concert billboard on a side of a building Hit the Virgin Megastore in Times square prowling for the KISS opoly game none to be found Still made some credit card purchases Dan Bach Made our way up to the Plaza hotel where we were informed KISS were staying The Plaza Hotel is next to Central Park and all of us talked about the KISS 76 horse and cart photoshoot Meeting two Dutch rock mag journalists Laid siege to the hotel s two entrances On the point of giving up we literally bumped into Gene standing at one of the entrances like a porter or someone taking a cigarette break He was approached for signing autographs but declined and declined even to shake hands Doc McGhee emerged and engaged in conversation reminiscent of Bruce in the 80 s and 90 s I asked Doc about a British tour he stated November 2004 with Def Leppard Soon after flanked with aides Paul amp Tommy emerged going into one people carrier and Gene hiding behind a bodyguard into a second people carrier Central Park traffic was stopped so KISS could get to the Garden Disappointed is a good term to use to reflect our emotion only about 7 fans waiting outside that said all three members looked in good health On the way back down to the hotel Garden we stopped off at the Hard Rock Caf for a beer and meeting three fans from the Newcastle area Dan Bach As evening drew in got to the Madison Square Garden box office to get our gold tickets Made to wait ages with the amount of people getting bigger and more restless Met a fellow UK fan Peter who shared my last Garden show in 98 Finally got the tickets and located our seats seems to be a lottery to where you actually sat Phil Williams Dan Bach As we took our seats the image of Alive Back cover came to mind looking at the huge sports concert arena filling up All the time looking for any chance to be upgraded to a platinum pass and meeting the band Didn t happen Support band Automatic Black not bad An army of stage crew making quick work of the equipment change over A loud booming voice declared KISS on stage in five minutes and a huge black curtain was partly dropped from the lighting rig with a massive silver KISS sign on it A roadie did a Tarzan impression whilst he struggled to get the curtain to fall drop properly Dan Bach This time no The Who s Won t get fooled again just a whirring noise Crunching intro guitar chords of Detroit Rock City curtain comes down drum riser and front of stage riser drops with the boys in full prowess Here we go KISS Phil Williams Evening s set list Detroit rock city Deuce Shout it loud Let me go rock n roll Lick it up Firehouse I love it loud I want you Bass solo God of thunder 100 000 years Black diamond Beth Love gun Rock n roll all night Phil Williams Gene s bass solo was shortened Paul s audience participation during RARAN was cut down severely Gene and Paul seemed to be preoccupied they did not roam around the stage Tommy s solos were spot on Paul s teasing with Zeppelin s Stairway to Heaven and Stones s Angie saying he had seen both of them at this venue his comment about driving a taxi cab around NYC Peter dedicating Beth to his wife Gigi Love Gun seemed odd without Paul s trapeze routine Amount of fireworks and flames was about the same as on the Farewell tour Paul trying to spruce his hair and wiggling his star embroidered ass I have never witnessed a double headliner concert After KISS I seemed not to be in the mood for Aeromsith their stage show amp set couldn t compete with the set just witnessed Had visions of the 73 74 75 tours of headliners going on after the bombastic support from KISS Phil Williams Two of the our group decided to leave early and go back up to the Plaza to wait and see if they could catch KISS as they came back in Their wait was rewarded meeting Peter Tommy and Paul without makeup Photographic evidence was taken Monday 17th November 2003 Eric Carr s resting place nbsp Dan Bach From NYC s Port authority bus station to Newburgh takes approx 2 hours This was a solo trip felt I had to do it Eric gave his life to KISS Cedar Hills Cemetery is 4 miles outside Newburgh New York State After purchasing a vase of flowers as instructed beforehand loose bunch of flowers are not allowed I entered the Cemetery s grounds and using printed out directions found Paul Caravello s plaque on the floor directly beneath a collection of family and fans flowers letters and collages was laid out After a time of reflection and reading the different pieces of literature placed the vase and wrote notes on my behalf and those UK fans whom had asked me to do so on their behalf The family s letter marked the 11th anniversary of Paul s death in 2002 this is when it dawned on me that the 12th anniversary of his death was only a few days away Note Dan has received a thank you from EricCarr com for this click here to read it Portland Civic Centre Tuesday 18th November 2003 Dan Bach A one way seven hour Greyhound journey via Boston and four states we arrived at Portland This is Stephen King country After checked in went straight across the road to check the venue out we were told that the venue only holds about 8 000 people Buses and lorries lined the surrounding streets and the stage took a lot of the audience area Considering the date was only added to the schedules about three weeks beforehand the venue was pretty much full Same set as NYC Gene s flight during bass solo was shorter due to the venue height better overall KISS performance the NYC preoccupation seemed to have disappeared Gene and Paul explored every inch of the stage even the stage wings into the audience since we were positioned more to the centre of the seats when the two side stage platforms rose during Paul s guitar smashing a deja vu feeling of the Alive II inner cover Our seating gave us an excellent view of Aerosmith s walkway into the crowd After the KISS set watched the Aerosmith set a mixture of classics and newer ballads only interrupted by a short merchandise stall raid Aerosmith gave it their all with a turnaround stage nbsp General points Phil Williams Gold tickets excellent idea for US venues due to front stall seating arrangements Will this work in UK European venues where standing format is preferred Don t know how the Platinum upgrade worked also a lottery where in the venue you would be sitting Considering there were Aerosmith plat gold bronze and KISS plat gold bronze ticket holders KISS Aeromsith double headliner musically similar but especially at the the NYC show a feeling of two tribes of fans KISS fans switching off after their band and Aerosmith fans waking up after the outro to RARAN Maybe a bit harsh A rumour heard on radio that KISS would headline the Garden show turned out to be false Stage changeover As previously mentioned an ant army of crew swarmed all around the stage during set changeovers During Aeromsith s set the stage turnaround to show another set of backline this revolving stage could have been used to help in the KISS Aerosmith changeover from KISS s Marshall backline to Aerosmith s Orange amps backline Automatic Black support act Personally a band to watch out for promo cd album samplers were given out Managed by Doc McGhee not too dissimilar to Buckcherry Gene s unwillingness to sign autographs or to shake hands left a bitter taste in the mouth also wondering about the band s preoccupation onstage KISS Leppard 2004 tour Anyone betting on a Monsters of Rock arena tour Thanks section 1 KISS for two great concert experiences Stateside making it my sixth one 2

Thanks to Peter for the complete set list After almost 1 year and ...%%==%%11224%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Finsbury Park 5th July 97 Review by Paul Finn Thanks to Peter for the complete set list After almost 1 year and 3 million screaming KISS fans the Alive Worldwide 96 97 tour has come to a close luckily KISS chose possibly the hottest day this year to blow us away one last time well until next year anyway The day didn t exactly get off to a brilliant start the coach that was supposed to pick us up at 10 AM arrived over half an hour late we actually saw the driver across the street asking somebody for directions Unfortunately the ending wasn t so good either when a coach driver says If anyone sees a sign for the A1 let me know you ve just got to worry However you re not here to hear about my troubles you want to hear about the Hottest Band In The Land Blow Up KISS Dolls Upon arriving at Finsbury Park the first thing that you just couldn t miss was the huge blow up KISS dolls that were positioned facing the road I thought this was really cool everybody going anywhere near the park couldn t miss the fact that KISS were in the neighbourhood The park itself was smaller than I had imagined much smaller than Donington but the stage was just as big Both sides of the stage had huge KISS Army banners across them which were very cool I don t remember seeing them at Donington but I might be wrong The gig didn t start until sometime after 2 PM which gave us a chance to read the new tour book Some of the pictures are incredible this tour book is completely different to the ones they were selling when they were last over here in November However as my fiance and her sister pointed out some of the pictures stand out more than others the first thing they noticed was that Paul s erm manhood seems to be peeking out of a hole in his trousers if you don t believe them check out the picture on page 14 of the tour book It wouldn t be fair for me to review the other 5 bands that were playing as I m not a fan of any of them all I ll say is that Thunder were really good and some of Skunk Anansie s set was quite good I m sorry but I just don t get that RATM stuff what the hell is that all about L7 weren t my type of band either but at least they commented on how cool it was to be playing with KISS Anyway just after 8 30 PM those immortal words were heard once more Allllright London you wanted the best you got the best the hottest band in the world KISS Paul At Finsbury Park Down fell the curtain to an explosive version of Deuce unfortunately we couldn t see much at this point as every person over 6 ft tall seemed to be standing right in front of us and it was still too light to be able to see the two screens at either side of the stage Gene seemed to be on top form his vocals were as good as ever as was Ace s playing even if he was out of step during the little jig at the end of Deuce again King Of The Night Time World was next Paul s voice seemed to be a bit croaky at this point but it got better as the night went on Now just to confuse us they played Let Me Go Rock And Roll I was worried that they might be cutting back on the set list as this song didn t appear until later at both the concerts that I was at last year but luckily I was wrong Personally I think it was a great move bringing this song forward in the set list as it really got the crowd going Next up were Do You Love Me Calling Dr Love Firehouse and Watchin You Gene s fire breathing during Firehouse was very good the best I ve seen so far Paul introduced the next song saying that Ace wanted to sing us his favourite song Shock Me Ace s vocals were in top form he sounded really good I ve got to have a little moan here though and I know a lot of people disagree with me but Ace s solo during Shock Me is far too long people in the crowd start to get really restless couldn t it be just a little bit shorter There were some cool bits during it though like when Ace said Roll over Beethoven and started to play some of Beethoven s 5th symphony I think Ace also said They ve landed on Mars you know which got a cheer from the audience Both of his rockets fired off without any trouble I have to admit I actually believed that the falling light thing was for real when I first saw it at the NEC and I think most people believed it this time round too Well what can I say about Love Gun apart from it was brilliant Paul asked us if he could come and join us in the crowd but he wouldn t do so until we were loud enough He said that they had a meter to see how loud we were which they showed on the screens behind the band when the needle reached the other end of the scale Peter Ace amp Gene kicked into the intro As Paul was pulled across the crowd managing to dodge the flying pints of beer he started to sing from up on a platform not far from us This was a really neat effect it was great to be so close to the starchild it s just a shame that he didn t sing most of the chorus that job was left up to the crowd Next up were Cold Gin and Shout It Out Loud both were very good especially Shout It Out Loud which seemed to really get the crowd going Paul did the usual drink driving thing before Cold Gin and once again he said they they would be coming back to England Gene decided to try and lick Ace s neck several times during the solo for Cold Gin don t really know what all that was about Paul started I Was Made For Lovin You by asking us if we knew the words He then sang the chorus a couple of times before the song started for real it sounded good but I still prefer the way they sang it on Alive III God Of Thunder kicked ass once more with Gene flying up to sing from the lighting rig those flames really add to the song one false move and our Gene would ve fried Peter managed to get the crowd right behind him during his solo he really looked like he was having fun Next was one of my favourite Ace tunes New York Groove He pulled it off perfectly with the obligatory Back In The London Groove thrown in at the end 100 000 years gave Paul the chance to get us all involved in the show once more this was followed by the last song of the main set Black Diamond complete with rising drum kit and cherry pickers The morphing KISS faces were shown on the monitors while we were waiting for them to come back out on stage When they did finally come back and take a bow Paul dedicated the show to all the road crew that had been with them over the last year He then told us that he wanted to take us all back home with him on the plane so he took us to Detroit Rock City instead My fiances sister had asked me earlier if KISS would sing any slow songs I told her that they probably wouldn t as they didn t at any of last years shows luckily I was wrong After Detroit Rock City had finished on came a stool for Peter to sit on I couldn t believe that they were actually going to play Beth the first time ever in the UK Peter threw 3 or 4 roses into the crowd then started to sing I have to admit that I was a little disappointed it seemed like the whole song lasted 1 minute This was probably because the solo was skipped but even so Peter sounded great The lyrics to the last line were sang slightly different to the usual version Peter sang Me and the boys will be spending all night at least it sounded like that As usual it was Rock N Roll All Nite that ended the show with all of the crowd singing along I know a few people are sick of this song but I love it It was the perfect song to end a brilliant set Paul announced at the end that KISS would be coming back to see us again let s hope that s sooner rather than later There were one or two things that could have been a bit better mainly the screens at either side of the stage The picture on them was very faint even after the sun had gone down The screen nearest us had a light shining right on it which made it even worse that was a pity cause it was really hard for us to see the stage during the early part of the show Also did that old guy with the bike really have to take a leak in the middle of the crowd those of you that seen him will know what I m going on about Overall this was a brilliant end to a brilliant tour I know I doubted this tour from the beginning being a Bruce fan and all but on July 5th KISS really blew me away My fiance had seen KISS once before with me in November she wrote the review of that show and her sister had only ever heard Crazy Crazy Nights but all through the show my fiance was singing along to every song and now her sister has borrowed 3 of my albums All of the special effects worked brilliantly especially the pyros they helped to make a perfect show even better KISS are back roll on a new album and a live video Most memorable quote You might not of read this in your newspapers but it s just been announced that we are the No 1 band in the world Paul Stanley The advert for Kaos In The Park can be seen here Full set list Deuce King Of The Night Time World Let Me Go Rock N Roll Do You Love Me Calling Dr Love Firehouse Watchin You Shock Me Love Gun Cold Gin Shout It Out Loud I Was Made For Lovin You God Of

pictures First of rockc1 jpg 16208 bytes all let me introduce myself the name is Darren Wells and I have been a KISS fan since the day I was bought quot Smashes Thrashes and Hits quot in 1988 Unfortunately I was one of those who had only before heard quot Crazy Crazy Nights quot and when I heard this well I haven t looked back since Basically I was on a Holiday when I looked in my local John Menzies at the latest Kerrang magazine It was only a small article in the corner but it said that KISS were going to be at Rock Circus the next day to unveil their waxwork figures and considering I only live an hour away from London I had no excuses but to annoy my poor girlfriend Trina like crazy until she said quot OK were going quot She s not into KISS more of a Michael Jackson fan ugh So there we were on the train heading up to London We were going to wear the full KISS make up but we couldn t stand the idea of people staring at us on the Tube Once we got there there was a huge queue outside and no one was going in luckily the queue wasn t too bad once it started moving they did their usual thing at Rock Circus and handed us our rockc5 jpg 16240 bytes cordless headphones It normally has the music of each artist when you stand next to their figure i e If you stood by Buddy Holly it has quot That ll be the day quot on or quot Faith quot when you stood next to George Michael But today was a special day The normal music being played in the main part of Rock Circus had been replaced by KISS music whilst a giant video wall showed live footage of KISS from the seventies along with newspaper cuttings on screen of where they d hit the press There was absolutely no doubt about it KISS were in town and they were going to make sure that everyone knew about it There were plenty of tourists around still looking at the models surrounding us little did they know what they were in for Trina and I were getting crushed and I wanted to get closer to the front to see what was going on with all the other fans so we made an agreement She takes the photos and I just go and enjoy myself So there I was up the front meeting some of the real KISS fans I met one guy who had come all the way from the States just to see his Idols now that s dedication for you He d been a fan for longer than I had and he knew his KISS well also was the guy who had in his hand the body of Paul Stanley s PS 10 guitar he smashed up at the end of the Wembley concert from the last November I play guitar myself and would love to get my hand on one of the KISS picks let alone Paul s broken guitar There were some others around with other memorabilia copies of the KISStory book and other bits then came the words we were waiting for ALLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHT DETROIT YOU WANTED THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS and it kicked into the new video version of quot Shout it out Loud quot as featured on quot Greatest KISS quot we all went wild staring up to the balcony that KISS were about to descend but there was a slight hitch So they played the video rockc3 jpg 16392 bytes again and this time the band entered the room lead by Gene Simmons All in full costume and make up they were here Apparently they had done a press conference upstairs to promote the new Greatest Hits CD UK only white sleeve and they d seen the Rock Circus revolving theatre show with the animatronic figures of other stars they d also seen other bits around the building At the bottom of the stairs Gene stops and does a major pose for the many journalists that were there hungry for a story Trina standing nearby got a good shot of Gene doing this and waved to the others as they came down Peter even waved back and blew a kiss to her I stood eagerly at the front getting crushed but then again I was at the front the best place to be Security was very tight at first saying that the band needed room yeah right and we didn t But after a while things eased up a bit The band posed in front of figures for the cameras these didn t look like the usual sort of thing that you see here but I then was told the models on the stage were the mannequins used on the previous years KISS conventions Then the band started moving around the press Ace looked a bit pissed off to be there part the time guess he d rather be playing with his laptop or something But Gene and Paul were the two who were absolutely lapping up all the attention as they always do Eventually rockc2 jpg 26162 bytes Gene came over near us I was standing next to a mannequin of him in a costume that looked as if it was from the quot Dynasty quot era He started talking to a reporter about the costume and eventually I heard her ask the immortal question he always gets asked quot So how long is your tongue Gene quot and his reply was quot It s long enough to make me your best friend quot ha ha dirty old bugger is our old Uncle Gene Then he grabbed me and another fan and we all stuck our tongues out for a pose for MTV s SuperRock programme or something I just saw the MTV on the camera I was in shock this was something really cool Gene spoke briefly to us thanking us for coming and I said back quot See you next week quot as this was a week before Kaos in the Park I really couldn t believe it this was a big moment in my life I still haven t got a copy of that programme from MTV but I would love one or even just to see it once it all happened so quick Gene then moved on to another interviewer when Ace was quite nearby I didn t get to speak to him which was a shame as he is my favourite KISS guitarist and as I play guitar myself would have liked to have asked him a few things He mainly stuck around Peter at this time showing the press some KISS memorabilia They didn t hang around though They were lead through a side door and that was it KISS had left rockc4 jpg 20814 bytes the building just as fast as they had entered it But that wasn t it next were the mannequins themselves which were dressed to kill in costumes from the Alive period along with another dummy of Paul dressed in an outfit from 1979 1980 a bright purple costume with a star on the belt Behind that were some of the bands instruments Ace s new Gibson Les Paul 3 Pickup Custom which still had a pick held in the middle pickup from the Alive Worldwide tour must have been used the night before Next to that was Paul Stanley s Gibson Flying V from the seventies just think of all the shows that has played Behind that was Peter Criss Silver drum kit used to record the album quot ALIVE quot Very cool but next to that was what I thought was the coolest The prototype model of Gene s Axe bass that as far as I can remember was hand built by Bernie Kramer they could have all come home with me if they wanted but no I think they d be better with their original owners We then moved around Rock Circus to see the rest of the show But where were the real KISS waxworks I hear you ask In the animatronic theatre there they were Gene even had a moving rockc6 jpg 10015 bytes tongue It all ended well and I couldn t wait to see the photos Trina took so I got them developed at a 1 hour processing place in the London Pavilion where Rock Circus is situated he told me that he d just had Steven Tyler from Aerosmith process a film there an hour before that so as you can see it was a serious day of Rock and Roll in London and I was there to witness it If anyone would like to E Mail me whether you have a copy of the MTV footage or you went to either the Wembley Concert or Kaos in the Park or just want to talk

long flight to NY on Virgin ...%%==%%9032%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Madison Square Gardens Review written by John Oakley Merchandise pictures from Dan bach Psycho Circus Tourbook After a long flight to NY on Virgin we arrived in the Big Apple It had cost us an arm and a leg to get there but hey we were here to see Kiss in their home town NEW YORK MADISON SQUARE GARDENS OH YEAH Arriving at approx 7 pm on saturday night at the hotel in New Joisey sorry Jersey we were soon placated by the juke box of the nearby bar with kiss Alive and got nice and pissed I mean friendly It turns out we were a right cross section from all over the place Nottingham Portsmouth Liverpool Wales etc etc all here with one mission Kiss at the Goiden sorry again that accent wont go away THE GARDEN Well it transpires that the night before our main appointment with the made up ones they were due to play Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey so nursing hang overs we marched off en masse in search of some tickets The Tower Records branch of ticket master by NY uni was only too happy to oblige with some tickets in return for wads of hard cash Who cares its Kiss and how many times will we be able to see them in NY and my girlfriends paying more to the point So after a day of doing the tourist thing of taking a ferry to see the green bitch of liberty a lot smaller than the ghostbusters version that walked around NY and to go up the Empire State building hey the gorilla had a point we finally meet up and make our way to the Meadowlands Arena yes review coming and I m getting to the point In size I can only compare Meadowlands to Wembley arena the care park however seemed one big party of Kiss fans Boy these Yanks really love their rock and Kiss RNRAN barks out from virtually every open boot with someone brandishing a fourpack of bud Security into the gig seems really hot as we re ushered through an army of guards searching for all those nasty cameras and laser pens more of later KISS T shirt Inside the Arena it could have been any big UK arena The T shirts looked phenomenal We resisted the temptation hoping for a special MSG one the next night Of course they had the usual dolls and you could even buy some special guitar pics if you were unlucky enough not to be in a position to catch one There was more than the usual amount of people in costume and some of the detail in them was great A real party atmosphere On with the show As you ve no doubt read elsewhere it was the same set as the REUNION show with the addition of Psycho Circus great opener Within and Into the Void I have to say I felt only Psycho Circus worked well but its the only one I reeeally really like off the album Ace did his solo bit during Void which made up for a rather lacklustre song Shooting down a off lighting rig and doing the old smoking guitar thang I used to be a Gene man for years and I think finally I m swaying to Ace er quot Take Me to f king Cuba Ack The 3D show was absolutely amazing On hearing about this I thought quot God that ll either be really shit and dated or it ll blow me away quot Well it blew me away being able to reach out and touch Ace s guitar as it was pointed in your face almost feel genes tongue lash out and avoid a flying drumstick as it comes hurtling toward you was just so cool I won t spoil it too much by saying more as I m sure no one can wait for them to hit UK shores Unfortunately they didn t have the raised platforms for black diamond but Peter had a flying drum riser for his solo From our position almost behind the stage in the cheap seats we could see the workings of it but from the front the following night great 3D Glasses During RNRAN always my favourite they had a confetti storm which was phenomenal a carpet of confetti almost covered the entire floor seating area and looked like a giant cloud as it landed One downside which people have probably have heard during the encore Beth someone allegedly was flashing one of them laser pointers at peter which pissed him off no end and afterwards Ace came out and gave the crowd a tongue lashing to which Paul told the crowd that one or tow in a great audience spoil things and he should put it away and take it to school the next day and play with his friends in 9th grade All round a great gig and we left happy hoping for a better view the next day We wouldn t be able to see the 3d stuff at MSG as wearing makeup would smudge MSG ticket The very next day after a little lie in we hopped on the underground and headed down for Madison Square Gardens hoping to catch goings on Luckily enough Madison Square Gardens run a back stage tour everyday up to 3 o clock for only 9 We were shown around the back stage areas and were able to see the stage being set up If only we were allowed into Gene and Aces dressing room instead of the NY Knicks So after lunch in the Hard Rock a bit more shopping and a bit more sightseeing it was time to put on make up and light the lights The UK s Gene and Ace were going to show the yanks how to party Stepping out of our hotel after a few photos I almost got arrested for carrying a beer Apparently you aren t aloud to drink in the street and its a 5OO dollar fine hey I need the dutch courage What amazed me is walking through shopping malls and streets everyone knew we were supposed to be Kiss In England we would be called Nutters I think the best moment was when we went into this bar just by MSG and everyone started clapping WOW More photos more poses and more groping of my studded codpiece OH Yeah Sweepstakes ticket The gig itself was exactly the same as the night before except they were all presented with giant presentation plaques with gold discs after the encore My only wish is they d played New York Groove to hear that in their home town would have been fab However the fireworks were great How would they get away with that in the UK the pyro was the best I d seen since the last Donington and for an indoor pyro it was hotter than skid row at London Arena years ago now that was HOT Despite the lack of security we could have got a film crew in if we wanted however after last night we didn t try a camera there was no repeat of the laser pen incident thank god From our vantage point we were able to see Sebastian Bach come in and take his seat right down the front lucky bugger His now highly bleached and big blonde hair showing him up like a beacon in the crowd god knows how any other celebs were there but he was easy to spot So as the last bars of black diamond fade and the ad for the Kiss Car what a bargain not come on we find its time to go and reflect on the fact we have just seen the legendary Kiss at the legendary Madison Square Gardens Back in burkes bar we try and drink the place dry in the limited time available and are persuaded by a mad fat new yorker that Oasis were in here a few months back Yeah Right We have to leave the next day back to good old blighty but not before we buy every bit of kiss merchandise available You would not believe how much is available over here Kiss phones got one kiss teddy bears ace amp gene cute psycho circus dressing gowns jewellery the lot I wish we could ve stayed longer to follow the tour but work and full credit cards meant time to go home I would recommend these concert tours to anyone WOW John Demon UK on tour with Miss Ace Frehley UK Back To Events

show a complete downer You just feel like something is missing from your life as well as having ringing ears and a headache Anyway once again the KISS Army invades London literally every where you went around town there was somebody wearing a KISS T shirt We started to queue at the arena at about 5 30 after getting right to the front we were told to bugger off to another queue The miserable gits working at the Arena didn t even bother to tell anyone about there being a separate queue for standing tickets until it was too late like it really bloody mattered seeing as you can walk there from either side I got my own back later on by getting my camera into the show past a body search wembley6 jpg 13679 bytes Anyway for me the show started after I went back to the car park to put something in the car I walked past the other side of the Arena only to hear the sound check taking place I heard the whole of Hotter Than Hell and some other stuff HTH sounded brilliant I don t know why they couldn t have added that to the set list it used to make a good intro to Firehouse BuckCherry were the openers and I guess they were okay definitely an improvement over Verve Pipe but let s face it that ain t hard The lead singer was jumping all over the place or doing Riverdance auditions as Martin Curtis put it desperately trying to hold up his 2 sizes too big trousers I thought the cleaners coming on at the end of their set list was a good touch they started cleaning the stage and dismantling the drum kit while they were still playing wembley2 jpg 22330 bytes Up went the new curtain this time it was a red one covered with starts amp moons as per the Psycho Circus cover Just before the show started in walked 4 Playboy models in full KISS make up the whole of the standing section starting cheering at them and the girls were loving it they were sitting in the section to the left of the stage At this point the arena that was more then half empty during BuckCherry really started to fill out like Mercury told me this show was a complete sell out wembley11s jpg 13138 bytes The Alright London announcement was made and Psycho Circus started the show this was a great opener much better than I expected The red curtain was cool but you could easily see the band behind it so it took away some of the excitement from it when it fell down The crowd was really getting in to the new opener jumping all over the place The only problem we had was that a few assholes decided that they were going to charge to the front at the start of the song shoving anyone that happened to be in their way I mean for god sake get a life there were kids nearby but they didn t give a shit So this pushed us back a little but we were still nearer the front than I ve ever been before Shout it Out Loud and Deuce came next these were great songs to get you in the partying mood and sounded as good as ever it wasn t until Do You Love Me that the new 3D effects came into play I didn t really know what to expect especially after the disappointing home video of Psycho Circus but I was wrong to have any doubts they were incredible There was a mixture of Psycho Circus video footage some new graphics and some live shots all in 3D The live shots didn t work as well as the others they were in double vision during some of it but the other stuff like the 3D hearts cubes and stuff were brilliant wembley9 jpg 14396 bytes Around about this point Paul Stanley announced I ve got to tell you that when we started out we didn t like American Rock n Roll bands we listened to bands from England which went down well with the crowd The next songs included Firehouse also in 3D nbsp Shock Me Let Me Go Rock N Roll and Calling Dr Love These c wembley7 jpg 4739 bytes lassics all sounded great for once I actually got a great view of Gene s fire breathing in Firehouse Ace amp Peter were both sounding great Ace didn t really mess up at all apart from on the next song Into The Void was Ace s next chance to sing I don t know what went wrong but there were some parts where you couldn t hear him at all especially near the end His solo was moved from Shock Me to this song and was a lot more enjoyable than previously I think the 3D effects helped out a lot Near the end he said This ones for Stan Kubrick and he played some music from 2001 A Space Odyssey which was a nice touch The usual rockets and smoking guitars were all there this time the second rocket quot knocked down quot 3 lights from the lighting rig they actually fell this time instead of hanging down as per the other tour and the third rocket was fired right about the heads of everyone in the standing section wembley13s jpg 5471 bytes Paul asked What is the first song on Destroyer to which everyone shouted Detroit Rock City Well we re going to play the second song and in kicked King Of The Night Time World which went down very well with the crowd Some blood spitting from Gene followed by a flight to the lighting rig was next God Of Thunder sounded fantastic especially the effects put on Gene s voice towards the end made him sound more demonic than ever Within followed with some more 3D effects although the chorus sounded okay I still don t think this one makes it as a live song I wish they d replace it with something else off the album We Are One would be nice Peter then started his solo bit of a strange song to have a drum solo but there you go This was much more exciting than the last tour as wembley10s jpg 13627 bytes the whole drum kit was lifted up and hovered over the first few rows of the crowd see the picture on the right smoke came shooting out from below as it was moving excellent stuff After I Was Made For Lovin You which didn t sound as good as it sometime does maybe this one could be replaced with something else Paul said that he wanted to come and see us but he didn t was to come unless we really wanted him too I don t like it when you knock on someones door and they say oh no it s you So we all had to cheer until the tacky show meter hit the end of the scale then out came Paul over the crowd while the rest of the band kicked into Love Gun This was brilliant probably the highlight of the show I didn t have a brilliant view but I think Paul even stepped off his platform to see meet some of the crowd wembley3 jpg 7583 bytes cool or what 100 000 Years and Rock And Roll All Nite finished off the main set personally I would have preferred the latter to have been at the end of the show The amount of ticker tape that came flying down was incredible we were absolutely covered Lots of people say they re fed up of this song always being played live but as far as I m concerned it s KISS anthem and one hell of a way for the band to say goodnight During the solo Ace had a spinning catherine wheel on his guitar at one point he even got it to stop and change directions he must have a hell of a lot of guts to do that Just before Rock amp Roll All Nite at least I think it was here Paul asked us all to sing our national anthem the problem here is that Britain has 4 different national anthems and 90 of Brits including me haven t got a bloody clue what the words are anyway so it sounded awful Paul tried to start us all off again but it still didn t work he then said something along the lines of I don t think you ll be getting the record contract wembley4 jpg 7314 bytes After shouting We want more out came Pete to sing Beth a few roses were thrown into the crowd before the song It sounded excellent just a shame that the live version is so short maybe it d be nice if they played it acoustically as per Unplugged All the guys returned to the stage and took a bow and Paul said he wanted to take us all home with him so off we went to Detroit Rock City The show then finally ended with Black Diamond with Pete s vocals sounding on top form Paul got his solo slot before Black Diamond part of it had the stereo swapping from left to right to try and get the crowd going The band are no longer lifted out over the crowd during this song Peter s drum kit rises again though instead they stay put on stage Did anyone else notice wembley5 jpg 6653 bytes Ace shake his head in disapproval before Gene tried to start licking his neck He didn t seem too chuffed from what I could see but then wouldn t you if Gene tried to tried to place his 7 incher on you then again don t answer that The show then ended with a message on the screen saying Thank you London One point that a lot of people have been mailing me about is Ace quite a lot of you thought that he seemed out of it during the show In fact I ve heard that he had to be dragged back to the stage by Gene when they went to take a bow He did start playing out of sync a little especially on Detroit Rock City and he didn t seem as happy as he usually does but who knows maybe he was just knackered I ve also heard that Ace amp Gene started messing about doing some kind of hokey cokey between songs but I missed that too wembley8 jpg 2906 bytes So that was it another show over and what a show The pyro was amazing I loved the huge columns of fire and indoor fireworks they really worked well The new effects were very good especially the 3D and Peters drums I only wish the old set list could be expanded I didn t understand why there were so few new songs played surely Raise Your Glasses and a few others would be worth a look Obviously there s one other thing to moan about that I m sure everyone agrees with they go to all the trouble of getting their gear in our country why couldn t they have stuck around for a few more nights I mean it s not like Wembley had poor sales or anything it was sell out Tonight proved that there s only one way to put on a show and that s KISS way Full set list Psycho Circus Shout It Out Loud Deuce Do You Love Me Firehouse Shock Me Let Me Go Rock N Roll Calling Dr Love Into The Void King Of The Night Time World God Of

to 145 warm us up 146 for KISS in their own unique style The lead singer had as much make up on as KISS and looked like a camp version of Bryan Adams They were a bit of a noise but I 146 ve heard worse and they did seem to get better towards the end when everyone was getting excited for the real reason we were all there 133 KISS 133 Psycho Circus of course kicked off the show and would have been perfect had it not been for the mad surge by immature little boys desperate to get to the front Thanks for that 150 it must be really difficult for a six foot man to see with a five foot two inch woman in front of you Anyway the Psycho Circus curtain added a welcome new feel to the show and seeing Paul and the gang from behind the thin fabric made the build up all the more exciting Shout It Out Loud was the next up and I just love it when Gene goes 145 You gotta have a party 146 The words fitted just perfectly 150 it was like a huge fantastic party Deuce was of course excellent and really got everyone going I love that little jig they do towards the end what I saw of it anyway Do You Love Me Paul belted out with his usual enthusiasm he really is the undisputed master of the stage and really keeps things together Firehouse has never been one of my favourites it just lacks something for me but it does have the advantage of Gene 146 s fire breathing which I have to say 150 bloody fantastic I had a great view and I just couldn 146 t believe that I was actually there and that all this fantastic stuff was actually happening Shock Me is always a cool song and leads in wonderfully to Let Me Go Rock N Roll when we were all well and truly partying Calling Dr Love is a great song for Gene 146 s raunchy voice and he didn 146 t disappoint on this occasion 150 you would think the fire breathing would hamper his singing voice but oh no not Gene Into The Void was the second song from Psycho Circus and was almost what I was expecting although Ace couldn 146 t be heard on some of the lyrics I think the microphone was perhaps a touch too high as when he turned to his fret board the mike didn 146 t seem to be picking up his voice Still you can 146 t knock Mr Frehley 146 s guitar playing skills King Of The Night Time World is always a favourite with the crowd as is God Of Thunder Let 146 s face it there is little to say about this song that we don 146 t already know although I was right in prime viewing position when 145 the demon 146 was on his platform This was absolutely one of the coolest moments of my whole life Within was the weakest song of the set in my opinion I just don 146 t think it 146 s a strong enough song to make it live although I wouldn 146 t mind it being dropped for some other Psycho Circus material such as 145 We Are One 146 or 145 You Wanted the Best 146 I Was Made For Lovin You danced its way into Love Gun and Paul coming down to visit the crowd Of course we had to shout for him to come down because he didn 146 t want to come down to see us for us to say 145 Oh it 146 s you 146 As if 100 000 Years I find utterly depressing but then you have to leave somewhere to go before launching into the anthem Rock And Roll All Nite Superb fantastic high feeling ticker tape fest that it was was the most wonderful spirit lifting performance and to finish on that note would have been fantastic However they came back out Oh what a surprise I hear you say for Beth which although I love seems strange to just have Peter singing and the music miraculously coming from nowhere It always seems so short too which is a shame because it 146 s a fabulous song and gives a great opportunity for us to see more of Peter Detroit Rock City was great but would have been better earlier on in the show Black Diamond again presented a good opportunity to see more of 145 the catman 146 but I would never choose to end on this song although I see KISS 146 reasons for doing it A levitating drum set is pretty magical and I understand the final image they want you to take home A few picky things I might say were there were parts where I thought Peter wasn 146 t really with the beat although some have said that Ace looked out of it 150 surely not Apart from 145 Within 146 I thought the set list was very strong although perhaps not in the order that I would have chosen There you are 150 you can 146 t please thousands On the major plus side the 3D was way way better than I thought and gives you a good souvenir to take home too Basically the whole thing was a major high point of my life and let 146 s face it 150 where else could you get all that for twenty quid COME BACK SOON KISS 150 WE LOVE YOU nbsp Wendy 145 Little Miss Kiss 146 Panter nbsp Back To Concert Reviews Wembley Report Wendy Panter Wembley Report Wendy Panter

my seventh KISS gig I was still looking forward with the same anticipation as in years gone by When I entered the arena I was hit by the usual curiosity of the stage particularly looking for the usual gimmicks and to try and notice any fundamental differences from the last time I saw KISS at the arena There were the obvious screens at the side and a lighting rig that did not on first impressions seem as impressive as the reunion tour Yet the black curtain obscured the majority of the stage and that meant I would have to wait However the reports from the net had already informed me of many of the stage effects gimmicks and therefore I had to wait and see whether my expectations were met When the support band Buck Cherry hit the stage I was quite soon unimpressed In past KISS gigs I have been fairly impressed by the choice of support bands but it certainly wasn t the case this time It wasn t until the fourth song and this was the only one that I actually enjoyed one of their songs I did feel that the sound was far to bass driven and the vocals were not loud enough However it was fairly humorous to see the drum kit be taken to bits at the end of the set while they were in their last song Overall I was disappointed Then the wait Lights go down and the show that I came to see starts KISS hit the stage My immediate impressions were WOW After the first three songs I came to the conclusion that I was not impressed with the mix and this did remain throughout After reading the Modern Drummer interview with Peter I knew that he was going easy and not over doing it for the set at the start but I really thought that he needed to get into it a bit more The vocals were in my opinion throughout the show not loud enough But it seemed to be tight and it did rock but it needed some more on the drums to drive it along I always wonder that being in the crowd right up the front is the best place to be but the overall sound did not seem as good as the reunion Wembley gig and the 1992 gig Psycho Circus was OK vocals were cool and then it went into Shout it out Loud and I must say that I enjoyed that But then it was Deuce and that did not seem to work Not quite the same energy as I have heard it before BUT one of the highlights of the show and not because of the 3D Do you Love me was excellent something about that song its great to have classic like that remain Now this is where I get hazy at the songs that were played or the actual order they were played in I thought the 3D was pretty cool but it did not seem to work for me on all the effects What was it like for other people There is one thing that I definitely noticed and for me this was a down point and that was there seemed to be little change from the reunion tour I certainly thought that the stage was much better for the reunion or actually I should say the lighting It was great to have the fly over the audience but I saw that at Finsbury the flying up to the rig is no different and the main disappointing point was Aces guitar solo Why cant he change it yes you had the 2001 Odyssey bit but there was little difference to his solo two years ago or even 21 years ago It was also far too long it should be over and done with within 3 minutes not 6 I cant believe I have come away from the gig with negative points because I have never done before I had a great time and things started to warm up for the band as it progressed Let me go Rock n Roll is a new personal favourite for me and DR Love was as safe as ever Personally Into the Void does not work for me its a great studio track but does not work live King of the Night time world and God of Thunder were great the pyros seemed hotter than ever I actually thought that Within worked well I know some people don t think so but I thought it was great and Peters solo was superb he definitely has been practising the new drum riser is just brilliant I really felt the second half of the show after Aces solo was the highlight and when they played I was made Love Gun I will never grow tired of this song 100 000 Years and the classic Rock n Roll All Night this was just superb It just flowed Then the encores Beth WOW I think this is the best that I ve heard Peter sing this one even better than the original record I will have to get a tape to check that but it seemed to be note perfect Detroit Rock City and Black Diamond followed and personally I wouldn t object to seeing DRC dropped for another that is not consistently on the set list If they could play some other songs it would make my day and I am sure for many others I try to think of songs that they could take out and it is a very difficult thing to do I could think of loads of songs I would like to hear why not Take me Love her all I can Almost Human Strange Ways Hotter than Hell Comin Home All the Way Flaming Youth etc I know that the current set list are the famous KISS songs but surely that was for the Reunion tour do they need to continue the Reunion tour and add a bit of 3D because that is effectively what they have done It was one hell of a gig but to me it seemed like there was little difference from the Reunion tour and this was the one thing that I found disappointing KISS are the masters for a show but lets have some different songs for the music I would be interested to know whether any other people feel the same Back To

Incredible Loud Fun Energetic Professional No real amount of words can really explain the complete Rock Show at Wembley Arena on Thursday night the show had everything Rock n Roll Kiss music to the full Fireworks lights flame throwers exploding guitars firing guitars levitating Drum kits confetti fire breathing spitting blood 3 D screens and the most important aspect of all the original group members Paul Ace Peter Gene You might think that I not seen the group before but infact it was my sixth show the first one being at Stafford Bingley Hall back in 1980 My wife and I had driven all the way from the north west of England to see the group since Wembley appears to be their only UK date on the Psycho Circus Tour When arriving at the arena at about 5 00pm to start queuing for a good standing position you mind starts to wonder how close to the stage would we get on this particular show little did we know how good it was to be There seemed to be a wide variety of nationalities from around Europe at the show certainly from Holland Spain and from wider areas of the UK in the north including Scotland and Ireland The atmosphere was starting to build from around 5 20pm since we were in a line near the Stage end we could clearly hear the Band rehearsing the start of the show First was Psycho Circus then followed by about 4 5 starts of Shout It Out Loud As you can imagine the atmosphere continued to grow until the doors opened just after 6 30pm Once the doors opened it was straight to the front of the Arena unbelievably it was actually right to the front of the stage We waited as patiently as possible for the arena to fill up since we knew the show was a total sell out the support band came on right on time at 7 30pm I d read many reports from other concerts on the European leg of the tour of Buckcherry nearly all the reports were bad to say the least I d tried to keep an open mind I shouldn t have bothered they were Awful They were incredibly loud and very poor indeed Kiss and their management have had a habit in the 1970 s and 80 s of having support acts which have gone on to much bigger things I truly believe this will not be the case with Buckcherry The security guards at the front had informed us Kiss would be on stage virtually right on 8 30pm within 2 3 minutes they were dead right Stagehands had gathered around the stage curtain a few minutes before Kiss came on they were there to remove the curtain once it had dropped to the floor From our vantage point right in front of Gene Simmons microphone we could see the curtain hadn t totally covered right down to the floor therefore we could see the group walk onto the stage before the music started Again the atmosphere was electric and the band hadn t even started the show yet As soon as the arena lights went out Gene Simmons was already raising his hands behind the curtain to the first few rows that could see him then we had the familiar but still original Kiss introduction 133 Allright London 133 You wanted 133 The HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD 133 KISS The opening song was Psycho Circus and the front half of the Arena went mad the atmosphere was absolutely incredibly I ve seen the band close up before but never this close with their full make up and costume they were larger than life and totally Kiss The full set list of the Wembley show was as follows Psycho Circus Shout it out loud Deuce Do you love me Firehouse Shock Me Let me go Rock n Roll Calling Dr Love Into the void King of the night time world God of thunder Within I was made for lovin you Love gun 100 000 years Rock n Roll all nite Beth Detroit rock city Black diamond I ve read a lot of comments about the set lists for the current tour and I suppose they could have varied it slightly more than the 1996 7 reunion tour but nevertheless the show was fantastic and in my opinion the group had even more energy than the last show on the previous tour that I saw Gene Simmons was totally relaxed I ve never seen him smile and laugh so much before while dressed in the full Kiss make up and costume he was having an absolute ball Paul Stanley never stopped moving around the stage Ace was Ace still looking Spaced out but holding the music together while Stanley Simmons went around performing to the vast audience Peter Criss was superb working harder than ever with great timing during the songs It was real treat to hear him sing Beth in the UK since on many occasions this song had been omitted The 3 D was only limited success from where we were right at the front of the stage but then again it was only due to our superb viewing position One of the obviously song highlights of the show was Rock n Roll All Nite with the Kiss anthem playing to the maximum and the confetti dropping and being fired over the audience as Simmons and Stanley prowled and danced all over the stage This culminated with Ace s guitar setting of further fire works on the end of his guitar this was a pure Rock n Roll party in London To summarise the show it was pure Kiss and was certainly the hottest band in the world Anybody who is thinking of going to see the band in the near future go and see them and have a party Stephen Draper Back To Concert Reviews Wembley Report Stephen Draper Wembley Report Stephen Draper Wembley Report Stephen Draper Wembley Report Stephen Draper Wembley Report Stephen Draper

mine and we were up on the left hand side about three quarters the way back It sounds naff but it was quite a good view I like to see the crowd too and its reaction to certain things happening on stage There were some huge roars that I ve never really heard before whether it be Gene sticking his throbbing proboscis into the camera or Paul flying across the arena I ve never been up there for a gig before so perhaps the acoustics made it better for hearing the crowd or something or perhaps simply that there were more people in there Whatever I thought the crowd was one of the best I ve been in I didn t think Within came across too well even though it s one of my faves from the new album Apart from the chorus I too was getting lost throughout the song Could have done without I Was Made For Lovin You as well I m sorry but when you ve heard the two Eric s particularly Carr using their drums on this song Peters weak effort takes away some of the songs charisma Don t get me wrong I Was Made was a surprise inclusion in 1988 and proved to be very popular also on the Revenge tour too but perhaps that was because it was given some kind of new lease of life to it by the drumming that brought it bang up to date Anyway I Was Made was a low light There were a few other erm oddities too Peters drum solo was in a strange place and also the four members bowing to the audience was a bit weird straight after Beth And I agree please please PLEASE can we go acoustic on this one guys The columns of fire during Gene s fire breathing took me by surprise so that was a nice touch And the multi coloured flame columns on Rock And Roll All Nite were very cool too It s just a shame that the whole show didn t end with this instead of a disappointing rendition of Black Diamond where there were less effects than I was expecting I thought Peters drums would do something DIFFERENT for instance Is Ace now too old to fall to his knees during Black Diamond at the part where Paul and Gene usually play over him I hope I m not whining too much Don t get me wrong I absolutely LOVED the show and it was positively money well spent and I got my moneys worth easily The pyro was so cool all through the show The Simmons solo was the best I ve ever seen live or on video Ace s solo was cool shit I even enjoyed Peters I particularly liked the cathrine wheel effect on Ace s guitar The crowd o meter or whatever that was was a complete hoot I hope they keep this in next time I think Paul s raps were much better than normal and there seemed to be a bit more humour on stage which is what it s all about yeah The part with the National Anthem was probably the most bizarre crowd participation segment I ve ever been involved in apart from Frehley s Comet Hammersmith Odeon March 1988 where the song Rock Soldiers stopped and Ace expected everybody to automatically sing in synch the laboriously long Ace is back and I told you so chant I don t know about 90 of the crowd not knowing the words to God Save The Queen but I was singing the Welsh national anthem It was all a complete disaster but very very funny Paul s expression up on the big screen when he could tell it was all going horribly wrong will live with me forever it was priceless I don t know it s just that his eyes were PLEADING with us to get it right Ha Ha what a bloody scream Whoever told you that they are fed up of Rock And Roll All Nite must be shot at dawn It s got to be the highlight of every KISS show The set list now needs some drastic revision however I wouldn t know where to start mind you If I say drop 100 000 Years I m sure thousands of KISS fans will be gutted The same for a whole range of other songs I know KISS have got their live staples but perhaps its time to be brutal with a few songs and drop them for a while I think I Was Made is an obvious one for the chop nowadays I think the bulk of the show came off Destroyer but why not focus more on a different album apart from Love Gun In fact Shock Me could make way for Rocket Ride To be fair though it must be an absolute nightmare deciding which to add and which to drop you re only going to end up offending some segment of the KISS community Best song Do You Love Me I love it but this too could be axed for something a bit more obscure or Rock And Roll All Nite Best moment The best Gene solo EVER Worst moment The final chord that signified the end of the show Tackiest moment The crowd o meter Funniest moment The crowd o meter Closely followed by Paul s pained expression during the national anthem debacle Well I m off to have another look at my programme nbsp Back To Concert Reviews Wembley Report Jason Pawlin Wembley Report Jason Pawlin Wembley Report Jason Pawlin Wembley Report Jason Pawlin Wembley Report Jason Pawlin Wembley Report

time back to Thursday the 25th of March so I can watch KISS rock Wembley once again My first KISS concert and what a concert it was I ve read and heard so much about the magic of KISS live shows and now I know it s all true For starters Buck Cherry did an excellent job I had actually read about them in a recent quot Metal Edge quot issue and I was looking forward to watching them They didn t let me and apparently the rest of the crowd down Despite having to fight against the awful sound their performance rocked from start to finish Enough energy and good enough music to get more cheers and applause than most opening acts I ve seen And the roadies sweeping them off the stage and disassembling the drum kit during the last song was very funny On to the headliners it s really hard to describe the feeling when the curtain dropped and KISS hit the stage running with quot Psycho Circus quot I d been waiting for that moment the curtain dropping at a KISS gig for the last two years I missed the Reunion shows and when it finally happened it completely blew me away OK the sound could have been better but hey You probably know the setlist more or less so I m not repeating it I m sure there are people complaining about KISS playing almost the same songs they played the last time around and blah blah blah Maybe it was because I hadn t been to any other shows but I thought the set was brilliant Yeah they didn t play all of my most favourite of their songs If it was up to me I d have put quot I Want You quot quot Cold Gin quot quot Dreamin quot quot Strutter quot and quot You Wanted The Best quot in there Then again I m not quite sure which numbers nbsp I d have dropped If it was up to somebody else they would have made a different set The point is that not everybody will hear all their favourites I think that what KISS do is just play the songs that they know satisfy most people The performances of the band as a whole and each member s in particular were simply great It was evident that they were having a good time I thought they played a tight show didn t bore anyone with the solos and did excellent versions of all of the songs quot Psycho Circus quot was a hard hitting adrenaline pumping opener and quot Into The Void quot and quot Within quot fit in perfectly with the older numbers The only quot mistake quot if you can call it that in my opinion was finishing the main set with quot Rock N Roll All Night quot and the encore with quot Black Diamond quot RNRAN should have probably been the last song of the evening As for the individual band members Ace I heard that quite a few people thought he was rather out of it Well in my humble opinion Ace was the personification of cool He was the first one to come over to my side of the stage eat your heart out the playboy girls were sitting right above me and gave us a wink and a sly smile Way to go His playing was very good and his singing even better He s always been the voice of sleaze to me and even though he doesn t live in the fast lane anymore he s still got that special way of singing Great job Peter A happy feline that s the impression he gave me To be honest I ve never thought much of Peter as a drummer but I was pleasantly surprised at Wembley Did anybody see him fooling around or was he just trying to surprise someone when the band returned to the stage after a solo I think it was Paul s He was behind his drum kit and almost crawling to his seat just like a big stalking tiger would Gene Man does he get into the Demon character or what He acted as if he was possessed during his solo That blood coming out of his mouth his head thrusting from side to side wow Still at certain moments he was unbelievably funny he reminded me of my mates and me trying to put on a quot Don t fuck with me quot face and then burst out laughing Paul Oh my favourite KISS member The man was born to be a superstar Excellent singing excellent playing and the stage antics that make the difference between great frontmen and amazing charismatic ones I can t say enough about him he did even more than I expected him to How could he put forward such an effort with a leg brace on Definitely says something about his dedication doesn t it The highlight of the show for me was Paul just standing on the small platform in the middle of the crowd his arms spread absorbing the energy and admiration of the crowd while the rest of the band were thundering through quot Love Gun quot unforgettable The visual effects from the pyro to the flights and the 3D were spectacular to say the least nbsp I d never seen anything like that before The 3D worked beautifully I actually tried to touch some of the things on the screens Added bonuses 1 The four gorgeous playboy models in KISS make up and little else sitting right behind me No wonder they got a standing ovation when they walked in 2 The guy sitting next to me buying them a couple of pints and being enthusiastic and generous enough to buy me one too Cheers mate Lucky bastard he got a kiss from one of them All in all an amazing gig It s probably going to be quite hard to settle for anything less Thanks KISS and make sure you re back soon very soon nbsp Back To Concert Reviews Wembley Report George Tzimas Wembley Report George Tzimas Wembley Report George Tzimas Wembley Report George Tzimas Wembley Report George Tzimas Wembley Report

30 and just got out and had a walk round to soak up the atmosphere and sample the merchandising stall A fair few people were already queuing including one guy who d done a real good Paul Stanley get up except at first we couldn t decide if it was a bloke or a woman but it was a bloke and all power to him he d done a real good job We loved looking at the make up it really added to the occasion When I went to see KISS 19 years ago I remember seeing a few people who had done a Paul Stanley job using a mirror and had put the star on the wrong eye but you expect that sort of thing from Germans the Brits had got it right We also watched a couple of guys in the car next door sitting in the front seats looking in mirrors putting on their make up while a wife and son sat in the back watching The irony of that sort of appealed to me I also spotted a lass with a white face and a playboy bunny on one eye a few quot Little Miss KISS quot T shirts and some and also a pretty good quot Ace Frehley quot Our seats were in Block 7 of the Arena on the left hand side looking down on the mini stage in the middle of the standing area but more of that later Next to us was a lass from Bristol who d come over with 4 teenage girls She was another KISS fanatic who d been to merchandising and paid 100 for KISSTORY amongst other things During the Buck Cherry set she paid another visit and I think bought the entire stall Anyway she was a real fan and we had a good talk about a few things KISS I was also surprised by the number of young kids around I regretted not taking my 10 year old lad who is a real KISS fan but his turn will come BuckCherry support act were absolute crap The lead singer had a whiney voice trousers that were too big for him and he kept doing auditions for riverdance They were just awful I got the impression that they thought they were Guns n Roses but they weren t Maybe I was expecting too much because last time I went a very young Iron Maiden supported them but I don t think it was that I just think they were crap During the break the Psycho Circus curtain went up looked pretty good I thought but it was a bit transparent Then came the quot Alright London you wanted the best quot the crowd roared and KISS were on opening with quot Psycho Circus quot I don t have a full playlist but the played all the old classics quot I was made for Lovin You quot Deuce quot quot Fire House quot with Gene doing his fire breathing quot God of Thunder quot quot 100 000 Years quot quot Let Me Go Rock n Roll quot and also quot Within quot and quot Into the Void quot from Psycho Circus I wish they had done quot We Are One quot instead of quot Within quot because it doesn t quite stand up to live performance listening to the tour edition CD will tell you this Sound was excellent and the 3D effects were fantastic especially the video clips one 3D clip in particular of Gene showing off his tongue made my good lady smile a bit can t quite figure out why I also thought it was a giggle watching all these roughy toughy Heavy Metal types with these naff 3d glasses on Gene Simmons was an absolute star posing all the way through at one point flying up into a stage on the lighting rig after doing his blood spewing bit and performing God of Thunder from up high with some sound effects used to make the final chorus sound fantastic Ace s solo was excellent with a superb smoking guitar and then firing rockets off including one which shot off a lighting rig Ace was excellent all the way through the night with rip roaring solo s and fantastic posing He really looked like he was loving it Ace also performed a bit of 2001 during his solo which again was great and was accompanied by some real cool 3D clips The only criticism of the whole gig was that I thought quot Within quot and quot I was made for Lovin You quot sounded a bit iffy but that is nit picking Paul Stanley showed what an absolute showman he was at one time telling the crowd that when they started out KISS used to listen to British bands and that Britain was their second home During quot Love Gun quot he went on a slide across to a small stage in the middle of the crowd to sing he finished off by stepping down from the stage to quot High Five quot some of the crowd before sliding back to the main stage all the time with the crowd singing quot Love Gun quot over and over again fantastic Peter Criss drum lifted out and above the crown during his solo a great change from just the rising drum kit of old really really spectacular The final song of the set was quot Rock n Roll All Nite quot during which a load of ticker tape and streamers was blown across the crowd and went absolutely everywhere I have to say that was a fantastic sight Ace also had a Catherine Wheel spinning on the end of his guitar which looked just brilliant from where we were The encore started with Peter Criss sat on a stool singing quot Beth quot to backing track pretty good but would have been better slightly longer and with acoustic backing This was followed by quot Detroit Rock City quot with some great 3D video clips The final tune was quot Black Diamond quot with a spectacular finish an indoor firework display explosions and fire shooting out at the back of the stage from where we were sat half way back we could feel the heat from the fire so God knows what it was like for the guys at the front All in all it was a fantastic night with so many highlights it s amazing Have no doubt about it after you have seen a KISS concert you realise that Queen and Freddie Mercury and the Strolling Bones and Mick Jagger are nothing KISS gigs are the greatest Rock n Roll shows in the world and KISS are the ultimate rock band I can t wait for my next show My wife is not the greatest KISS fan in the world but she is a fan but she was raving about it and that says it all We eventually got back to sunny Peterborough at about 12 30 ears still ringing and quot Rock n Roll All Nite quot still sounding in the back of our minds quot nbsp Back To Concert Reviews Wembley Report Martin Curtis Wembley Report Martin Curtis Wembley Report Martin Curtis Wembley Report Martin Curtis Wembley Report

ERIC SINGER INSTORE SIGNING AT BRASHS SUPERSTORE MELBOURNE When I first saw the poster that Bruce Kulick and Eric singer were coming to Brashs I couldn t believe it I thought here s my chance to meet two members of my favourite band Kiss I couldn t wait till the day came counting down the days counting down the hours At about 6 00am on that morning I was outside with two friends I was really angry at them because we got there so late but I was surprised to see no one there at all at that time As we waited the line got bigger it circled the block and then finally the doors opened and every single person ran into the store like a shot gun running up stairs pushing people over until we got to the 3rd floor The waiting around was terrible all this anxiety was building up in me until the announcer came on sure he cracked a couple of stupid jokes like they always do and then he announced them one by one Eric came out first he said the Bruce was taking a piss but soon after Bruce came out the crowd went wild it was amazing There was a quick Q and A Questions and Answers which people who knew nothing of the band were asking the most stupid questions like Are you still in Kiss and What concerts did Mark St John play The cool thing was that for the first time I was up the front taking all these pictures while my friend Darren was filming it They were pushed for time and they seemed tired one good question that came out was quot Tell us what we can expect from you at your clinic quot I really wanted to know because I had bought tickets and didn t know how they were going to put this show on Part two BRUCE AND ERIC UNHOLY DOWNUNDER TOUR 1996 AT THE PALACE The concert was magnificent to that point I hadn t seen anything better the venue was small but it could fit a couple of thousand Bruce and Eric both came out to a enormous applause where both of them sat down they didn t talk but they broke into Unholy first of all Eric was singing and they hired a local bass player to play with them Eric s voice was really good and clear it almost sounded harmonic it was good for the song Next up was Domino where Bruce sang it was really a different version of it it was more funkier if you can believe that Bruce s voice was good as well They stopped for awhile and had a little chat to us about there so glad to be here in Australia and Melbourne that they love the Women down here and at this point Bruce went back stage which left Eric by himself Eric s Clinic Eric was excellent he played a lot of solos including Eric Carr s solo on Revenge he sang four kiss songs with the bassist and a rhythm guitarist but there was no leads they sounded really weird but they still sounded good the songs were Nothing to Lose Firehouse Hotter than Hell and 100 000 years He then sang to completely new songs which I ve never heard before they were really heavy and sounded fantastic although I can t recall the name of the songs He then stopped and answered some questions people threw at him Eric then finished off with Creatures of the night his clinic lasted about one hour Bruce Kulick There was a 10 minute pause and al l we did was chant Bruce s name until finally he came out he sat down and did a couple of songs instrumental like Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin and All along the Watchtower by Jimmy Hendrix He also played two kiss songs with the same bassist and rhythm guitarist but no drummer they sounded quite good they were Every time I look at you and Heaven s on Fire Bruce then brought out the acoustic and a Local drummer and played an acoustic version of 2000 man and a new song Finally he ended with God of thunder and played the bass for this one he imitated Gene a lot in that one Bruce also stopped to answer a few questions from the crowd I will always remember one of the questions that someone shouted out quot Do you have any hatred towards Gene and Paul quot He replied like I knew he would in true Kiss spirit quot Gene and Paul are like a family we were a close unit and still are I still continue to CO write songs with Paul and they really tipped their hat off to myself and Eric we both knew what Gene and Paul wanted and we didn t want to get in their way or be on the sidelines so we decided to branch out and become hopefully successful as well quot There was another interval of about 10 minutes and again to a enormous applause as both Eric and Bruce came out They both said that they had a really good time and that they will be back hopefully soon They then played God gave Rock and Roll to You and Rock n Roll all Night for their finale they played two encores which consisted of a Kiss mix where they played about five different Kiss songs in one song they were I was made for loving you Shandi Spit from Revenge Reason to Live and Forever and then Save me by Queen That was the end of the show both Eric and Bruce thanked us all again and went backstage for about half an hour they both appeared again and mingled with the crowd which was really cool they also were kind enough to do a autograph session as well The whole concert took about 2 and half to three hours and it was well worth the 25 00 roughly 10 pounds for the tickets I really enjoyed myself as did my friends Frank and Darren I hope that both them will get together again and do another tour and hopefully it hits the UK I want to

rare for KISS to appear on the covers of UK magazines here a selection of some of the best ones along with a few other articles I ll be updating this soon with a big archive section of magazines from the 80 s nbsp Mojo March 2002 This issue of Mojo nbsp features Gene Simmons on the cover alongside a fair few other artists I now have a couple of pictures from the mag The article is called 100 Hipsters and legends icons and visionaries movers and shakers and asks 100 of Mojo s favourite artists to name their heroes and the effect they ve had on their life Gene lists Superman as his hero saying that it was him that made Gene realise that scaling heights was possible even if you are different to everyone else Gene is features alongside the likes of Paul McCartney Tony Bennett Alice Cooper Diana Ross Pete Townsend Lemmy Cher and Mick Jagger There is also a classic quote from Ace with a small pic on page 13 it s about Gene calling him a moron during some promo for Gene s book quot Everybody knows I m a fuck up Oh well good luck with the book quot nbsp Classic Rock Nov 2000 The new edition of Classic Rock is in the shops now it features 28 pages of KISS including reviews of all their albums Unfortunately the interview is only with Gene amp Paul but even still you have you to buy this There s also a review of almost every KISS album along with comments from Gene an article on comics and another on the merchandise All eras of KISS are covered from the 70 s right through to the present day Not a lot of new stuff is mentioned in the interview but Gene does hint that a tour of Europe isn t totally out of the question they re just not ready to tour at the minute I remember when Classic Rock first started one of the contributors told me to look out for a KISS issue I didn t think it was take this long but nice one guys Incite Feb 2000 The February issue of Incite magazine has a cool pic of Gene on the front cover a 10 page cover story a competition to win every official album on CD a video of the forthcoming game on the covermount AND a good look at the forthcoming game with some decent screen shots lt lt Click Here for full details gt gt Kerrang March 1999 In March Kerrang released a special KISS issue with 4 different covers Apart from the very cool covers there is a 5 page article inside that includes interviews with Gene amp Paul taken during the Psycho Circus tour in Sweden There s also a few quotes from other musicians that are influenced by KISS along with some cool pictures lt lt Click here for more info on the Kerrang specials gt gt Gene Paul Ace Peter playboy2 jpg 16154 bytes Playboy March 1999 3 50 The Playboy KISS special was released over here on the 18th Feb 1999 There s a 12 page article of the band complete with several models dressed up in KISS make up and little else The actual article isn t too hot but there s a small section on collectibles and a few other KISS bits amp bobs scattered through the mag This one s well worth getting hold of for any KISS collector kissmag10 jpg 19620 bytes Guitar World October 1998 2 95 This issue of Guitar World features Gene Simmons on the cover and a great interview with Paul Gene amp Ace inside There s lots of talk about the new Psycho Circus album and even talk of KISS Cola There s also a few cool KISS related adverts inside including one for the 24 inch dolls that are a bargain at only 149 99 The magazine hit the shops a few weeks ago so you ll have to hurry if you want a copy kissmag11 jpg 17528 bytes Raygun October 1998 2 50 KISS are featured in the October issue of Raygun magazine available now in Virgin Megastores 2 50 It contains a really good interview about Psycho Circus and other stuff including some stories about what Ace used to get up to in hotel rooms eg using a chainsaw to make a hole in a wall so he could pass drinks to Peter There s also some great pictures and a poster too Marshall Law Winter 1997 Okay so this isn t exactly new in fact it s from late 1997 but it s still a pretty cool article that not many people have seen before It came from Marshall Law Marshalls UK amp US trade magazine I was lucky enough to pick one up for free recently at a local guitar shop The download is split into 2 halves both of which are about 250K so it might take some time to download lt lt Click here to download page 1 260k gt gt lt lt Click here to download page 2 240k gt gt Birmingham Evening Mail 20th November 1996 This was only sold outside the NEC after the KISS concert had finished It was an ordinary copy of the Evening Mail with a KISS wrap around cover There s also a full colour picture on the back cover the Second Coming picture and two pig b amp w pictures on the inside covers one of them if with Bruce amp Eric Carr Considering they were only 28p they were well worth buying for collectors Click on the newspaper for a bigger image Bassist March 1997 2 50 Yet another Future publishing magazine with KISS on the cover see Guitarist amp Rhythm below It wasn t that long ago that Gene was last on the cover of this magazine but it was Gene with a beard from the real KISS line up The article is pretty cool with some good pics including some of Gene s old bass and Gene gets a chance to clarify his opinion about women in rock that caused a stir in the last interview Guitarist February 1997 3 99 Wow This is the first time that KISS have appeared on the cover of Guitarist and wait for it they re also on the cover cd The new live version of Shout it out loud is the main track and in my opinion they couldn t have picked a better song from Greatest KISS The article is a fairly cool interview with Ace amp Paul with shots from the live performance at Wembley last year Buy this magazine now Rhythm February 1997 2 50 Wait a minute this can t be true three magazines with KISS on the cover sitting next to each other in WH Smith It looks like Future Publishing are going KISS crazy at the minute with Guitarist Bassist and Rhythm all out at the same time Once again the interview in this one is very cool although slightly negative at times it s got a few cool shots of Peter just check out that cover and even a pic of Eric Carr At least the guy that wrote this one knows what he s talking about as both Eric Carr and Eric Singer are mentioned unlike various other mags who seem to forget about the 80 s and early 90 s Once again buy this Stax September 1996 issue 1 75 Poster magazine with a big pic of Gene in make up on the cover There is a small pre Donington article and a small poster taken from KISS meets the Phantom Although the content of this magazine isn t worth shouting about it s still worth buying just for the cover Brum Beat June 1994 This one took me by surprise back in 1994 KISS on the cover of a local Birmingham music magazine There is a one page interview with Paul Stanley inside that talks about the KISS My Ass tribute album Paul also comments on not having won any major awards he says quot There s been 22 years of awards if you want to go and see them go to the Virgin Megastore or Tower Records there s a whole section under K Our awards are successful albums That s the ultimate award to have people on the street give you the thumbs up not some small committee quot Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Mags Mags Mags Mags Mags Mags Mags

nbsp KISS Alive Forever The Complete Touring History Review by Dan Bach I write this review a few months after I first received and read this book This book looks at all aspects of touring by the band KISS from the first legendary Coventry and Daisy club dates in January February 1973 to the Australian leg of the Farwell Tour in March 2001 Over 28 years of concerts in one book just over 1800 entries concerning KISS concerts including UK and European gigs starting with the Destroyer tour Alive costumed performance starting at Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1976 nbsp The Unmasked tour of August September 1980 tied with this is details of the cancelled European tour scheduled and announced in May June of that year nbsp The Lick it up leg of September 1983 nbsp Animalize leg with Bruce Kulick as replacement guitarist in October 1984 Crazy nights Smashes hits and thrashes August and September 1988 at Donington and other European Monsters of Rock festivals as well as Arena City hall sized venues a few weeks later It lists the re opening of the Marquee club at Charing Cross Road a few days before Donington 1988 Revenge European tour that was only an UK leg The London Astoria convention on the afternoon of the Wembley show It also mentions a proposed second show at Wembley Arena Reunion Alive Worldwide performances at Donington 1996 and November European tour Sadly no mention of the pencilled in Dublin show Shirts for this show were sold at Manchester if I remember rightly Psycho circus European tour of February March 1999 Mention of Paul s leg in a brace splint Each tour entry has a start date and end date countries visited support acts and headlining acts up to 1976 and the odd exception afterwards Iron Maiden at Donington 1988 as well as average attendances In the introduction all these terms are explained and how they were obtained It s these attendances that are eye opening look at the Dynasty amp 10th Anniversary Creatures tour of the States amp end of the US leg of the Farwell tour leg Average attendancies drop off by the end of those tours and major markets for KISS have poor ticket sales These figures are only boosted by the South American outdoor gigs in 1983 and the Japan Australia March 2001 dates nbsp Before I read this book I was not aware of some of the appauling concert attendances and some of the cancelled shows either second dates or even first shows in some areas Gary Corbett s hiring release rehiring due to touring finances on the Crazy Nights tour as an example The book explains the difference between temporary holding date and a cancelled show Great KISStory event that is corrected is the two year gap not one year gap as usually talked about between the KISS and BOC support slot headliner swap Gene catching his hair on fire at the Academy and KISS s triumphant first NYC headline at the Nassau Coliseum The preface states believe everything and believe nothing Many individuals have participated in this book Bill Aucoin Sean Delany Lydia Criss Gary Corbett Wicked lester s Ron Leejack and Brooke Ostender Bill Starkey Joop Van pelt Nick Smith to name a few The authors are KISS fans that are music industry writers Warning this book will be heavy going for those not KISS fanatics Just look at the gigs you attended yourselves that s what I did and read on It has stories from rehearsals prior to tour has a chapter on the cancelled Elder world tour It quotes from former KISS tour manager C K Lendt s KISS and sell book Overall it is a great insight into touring etiquette politics strategies and marketing campaigns This book could have been written by actual key KISS personnel such as Bill Aucoin Fritz Postlethwaite Larry Mazer John Harte and Robert V Conte To end this book with a question is the book worth a read For KISS fans yes I have learned a lot of interesting trivia from Girl s drop from the Unmasked tour to the three stages used on the Asylum tour the set lists on the 95 convention tour how many UK KISS gigs have there been how many times they have played NYC LA Detroit and San Francisco appendices support acts appendices and the songs played

arm Cher seemed to be more taken by her old flame Gene God Of Thunder Simmons who has thoughtfully rolled her a red carpet from his cakehole No wonder KISS received a standing ovation from a crowd

edge technology and in your face action We re working with Bloodshot to convey that same raw electric excitement in this game We aren t all gamers ourselves but we got the word that the Gathering was the place to call if we wanted a guarantee of quality and artist recognition quot nbsp Classic Rock Classic Rock 5 12 1998 The January February edition of Classic Rock magazine features a 4 page KISS article that contains an interview with Gene along with other KISS goodies such as some info on the latest merchandising The interview isn t huge but it well worth getting hold of There s an interesting bit about Psycho Circus that says that the song Carnival Of Souls was recorded for the album Classic Rock quot We recorded 19 songs for Psycho Circus and used 10 Many that didn t make it were quite a bit heavier One of them was called Carnival Of Souls which would have been the title song from the last album but it was too heavy and a little too punky Another one I wrote for Ace called I wanna rule the world was very Mott The Hoople crossed with a bombastic John Bonham beat You British like the heavier stuff but we purposely left out a lot of the heavier ones because the

you ever wanted a complete Black Diamond 2 reference to not only official KISS releases audio video books amp comics but also projects of ex KISS members and bootlegs too Well look no futher than Black Diamond 2 this comprehensive book contains 400 pages absolutely full of information on KISS releases Thankfully Dale hasn t just concentrated on US releases but also UK Austrailian and Japanese too It doesn t stop there either the book also contains details of take offs homage amp rip off s which includes details of albums by other bands that are KISS related in one way or another official solo appearances on albums by members of the band KISS TV appearances compilations and a whole load more This book makes an excellent companion for anyone interested in collecting KISS released I found loads of stuff that I never knew about before did you know Eric Carr co wrote a track on Bryan Adams Cuts Like A Knife album Gene sung backing on a cher song or Paul Stanley stared in a Bruce Willis show The only major thing missing from a UK point of view is information on God Gave Rock amp Roll To You II and Unholy both of which done quite well in the charts over here Rather than try to

Chapter 16 Books Chapter 17 Comics Chapter 18 Final Words Excerpts from Chapter Seven quot Official United Kingdom releases quot KISS catalogue of releases in the U K is certainly one of the most convoluted of any of the major countries listed here Especially in the l970s new albums by the band were either not released at all such as the Solo Albums came out long after their initial release in the US such as DRESSED TO KILL and DESTROYER or released in special red vinyl editions such as the catalog presented under Pye Most sources seem to have disappeared over the years that could track down release dates and explanations as to why these occurrences happened so it has come down to a puzzle where pieces do not quite fit together the way they should One thing that is for certain is the U K s fascination with singles This is very evident with the releases that occurred once Phonogram took up distribution for the albums in 1980 Phonogram seemed to take much pleasure in releasing singles in as many different forms as possible including picture discs 12 quot singles with additional songs color vinyl and other special discs Unlike the US and several other countries where 12 quot singles are normally used only for promotional purposes in the U K there exists a major commercial market for such items Thus unlike the other countries listed in this chapter each album will list 12 quot singles where it is evident that they were commercially available Distribution for KISS albums initially started with EMI the Beatles old U K label in February 1975 with the band s first release KISS EMI who had set up a deal with Casablanca in 1975 to distribute the label in Europe would continue releasing KISS albums with the quot Bogart quot Casablanca record label until February 1977 with the exception of HOTTER THAN HELL which would have to wait for a release until May 1977 under PYE Pye became the distributor for Casablanca while EMI international imports would begin distributing imports of the Casablanca label that very same year This explains why it is possible to pick up copies of the first six KISS albums in England bearing the original US call letters instead of the standard call letters used in the U K Pye released all of their albums on red vinyl with the drawing of KISS from the LOVE GUN album on the record label no doubt to interest fans in them over the imports from EMI and would also reissue all the albums up to 1977 in red vinyl HOTTER THAN HELL saw its first U K release here and the Solo Albums were slipped over entirely although the singles from those albums were released while the red vinyl version of ALIVE II reached very low distribution and very few copies of DOUBLE PLATINUM exist in this form Phonogram would take over distribution in 1980 with their buy out of Casablanca releasing UNMASKED on their Mercury label Phonogram would revert to the Casablanca label for reissues of the KISS catalogue while also using it for every new album until CREATURES OF THE NIGHT With LICK IT UP Phonogram moved KISS over to its Vertigo label for new releases while reissues from the Vertigo line appeared in later years under the Mercury label With the release of REVENGE KISS would be moved to the Mercury label for good Confusing isn t it KILLERS CANL I released June 1982 by Casablanca Records Manufactured and marketed through Phonogram Produced by Michael James Jackson quot I m A Legend Tonight quot quot Down On Your Knees quot quot Nowhere To Run quot and quot Partners In Crime quot Kenny Kerner and Richie Wise quot Cold Gin quot

Michael James Jackson were recorded at The Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles California in May 1982 during the beginning of recordings for the CREATURES OF THE NIGHT album Engineering on the four new songs were by Dave Thoener Additional mixing and recording done by Dave Wittman Mastered at Alan Zentz Mastering in Los Angeles California by Brian Gardner Song List SIDE ONE quot I m A Legend

Singles No singles were released for this album in the U K Special Notes An album to pacify Phonogram for a product during the delay between MUSIC FROM quot THE ELDER quot and CREATURES OF THE NIGHT there was initial talks of releasing the four new tracks as an EP without the filler of older material However Phonogram decided against this format as an EP has a limited shelf life in several countries and a full length album would sell better particularly in countries where the earlier albums had limited marketing The band members have looked back on the album with mixed feelings usually pointing to one or two of the newer tracks as being worthy for release while the others of lesser fare see CREATURES OF THE NIGHT entry under quot Official American releases quot for more details on these tracks quot Nowhere To Run quot and quot Partners In Crime quot the two new tracks usually pointed out by the band members as the best of the new material would continuously turn up as filler on singles over the next decade such as the quot Unholy quot 12 quot vinyl single released in the U K in 1992 KISS 1212 and on the American promo album FIRST KISS LAST LICKS quot Nowhere To Run quot was originally written for the second ELDER album Meanwhile Bryan Adams co wrote quot Down On Your Knees quot with Stanley and long time KISS writer Mikel Japp whose name is misspelled as Michael Japp on the album Adams would later gain success as a solo artist and his CUTS LIKE A KNIFE album would feature the Eric Carr co written song quot Don t Leave Me Lonely quot This album can also be found under European call letters 6302 193 especially in the heavily imported West German version This album was successful enough to remain in many of these countries KISS catalog with the UK version reaching 42

on Laserdisc heavily promoting Michael Crichton after the success of JURASSIC PARK Running Time 1 38 24 Special Notes RUNAWAY was the first film costarring Gene after a long interest in wanting to appear in films Gene plays Charles Luther a villain who is out to get information of which the hero played by Tom Selleck has in his possession The film was directed and written by Michael Crichton who had written such books and films as THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN THE TERMINAL MAN LOOKER and the mega popular JURASSIC PARK It was due to the success of the last film that RUNAWAY was reissued in 1994 on laserdise in a widescreen edition The back cover of the disc features some quotes from Crichton and the actors in the film including Gene RUNAWAY was to be Gene s most successful motion picture and seemingly typecast him as a villain in several of his other screen appearances MIAMI VICE quot The Prodigal Son quot Premiered September 27 1985 on NBC Network at 9 00 p m EST Filmed Summer 1985 in Miami Florida and New York City Special Notes Gene Simmons makes a brief appearance as a drug lord who gives information to Crockett and Tubbs Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas about Colombian drug dealers who are murdering federal agents This was the two hour season premiere of the popular cop series known more for its visuals and for the frequent guest appearances by rock musicians in acting roles i e Little Richard Phil Collins Ted Nugent James Brown etc While Gene s character is given very little to do here a reference is made to his character near the end of the program suggesting that he might return later in the series It was not to be This episode was later release on video by MCA THE HITCHHIKER quot O D Feelin quot Premiered January 28 1986 on HBO pay cable

Gene appears opposite Michael Des Barres whom he had worked with on Gene s solo album in 1978 Some people connected with the band later reported that Gene looked remarkably like Howard Marks of Glickman Marks during this role and that this was not just an accident on the part of Gene NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE 90046 released January 1987 by Charter Entertainment a division of Nelson Enterminment Inc Filmed July August 1985 in Los Angeles California Premiered Spring 1986 Formats VHS Hli Fi Stereo and Beta retail 19 98 Laserdisc Hi Fi Stereo retail 34 95 Special Notes Gene s second feature film gave him an opportunity to play two roles one as a federal agent the other as an outrageous hermaphrodite Gene is purely outrageous in this star vehicle for television star John Stamos But the Lorenzo Semple Jr script is a blatant rip off of the James Bond series without the humor of the originals The film was briefly released to theaters in the Northwest U S then sat in the can until it s video release in 1987 More notable were the two advertising campaigns for the film one in May 1985 before production began which featured Gene Simmons in a suit as the federal agent the other near the time of the film s release which featured Gene in his outrageous cross dressing outfit from the film to play off of his makeup TRICK OR TREAT 416 released October 1987 by Warner Home Video Filmed in Los

heavy metal singer when approached about appearing in the film Instead Gene went with the small role of Nuke the radio DJ who is the only voice of common sense in the film A fun horror film which plays off of the outrageous belief by some fundamentalist Christians that heavy metal music is evil and that backward masking on Songs lead to satanic events nbsp WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE A86230 released March 1988 by New World Video Later re released in 1995 by R amp G Video Filmed in Spring 1986 in Long Beach and Los Angeles California Premiered December 15 1986 Formats VHS Hi Fi Stereo and Beta

the villain who is out to destroy Los Angeles R amp G Video re released the film in 1994 as a sell through cassette with a unique twist Included on the cassette were additional goodies pertaining to the film including the movie trailer and short interviews with the stars including a roughly four minute long one with Gene Gene would later team up with writer director Gary Sherman for the television series SABLE see below SABLE quot Pilot Episode quot Never aired Special Notes In the Fall of 1986 Gene was approached by Gary Sherman who had worked with Gene on WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE about helping him out in a pilot for a series that Sherman was trying to sell to the networks The series was based on a comic book series by well known comic book artist writer Mike Grell called JON SABLE FREELANCE The comic dealt with a mercenary detective who by day wroe childrens books and by night painted his face in camouflage colors and prowled the street in search of villains Simmons agreed to film the pilot during the band s hiatus between ASYLUM and CRAZY NIGHTS The pilot film was completed and shown to executives at the ABC Network who bought the series for airing as a quot second season quot replacement series in the winter of 1987 At this point the stories divert depending on who is telling what occurred next According to Simmons the pilot went to series and he decided to bow out in order to stick more closely with developments in KISS According to Gary Sherman in interviews done at the time of the series demise in the spring of 1987 ABC loved the show but hated Simmons and wanted him to go Thus Simmons was dropped in favor of another actor Lewis Van Bergen and the series went on for a total of seven episodes before being canceled Surprisingly Van Bergen s voice is remarkably like that of Simmons and when donning the greasepaint for Sable even looks like him The series is also interesting in the fact that Sable is killed off in the seventh episode although his alter ego survives The pilot episode with Gene has never been aired in its original form portions were reshot for Van Bergen s first episode RED SURF 1245 released September 1990 by Academy Entertainment Filmed Spring 1989 Never theatrically released Formats VHS and Beta 1245 retail 89 95 Running Time 1 43 05 Special Notes After turning down roles in LICENSE TO KILL and DIE HARD due to his frustrations in repeatedly playing villains Gene took this brief role as a Vietnam vet who helps the drug dealing hero of the film blow away a bunch of bad guys Although filmed for a theatrical release the movie instead went directly to video It was to be Gene s last acting role in front of the camera Miscellaneous Gene has been involved with other projects as well that did not come together as planned Two projects that were dropped as the band came closer to touring for HOT IN THE SHADE were a role as a drug lord again in another episode of THE HITCHHIKER series from HBO and as a villain in the sequel to ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL called ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL FOREVER Perhaps it s just as well he did not do these Gene has stated several times in past interviews about turning down roles as quot the guy in a monster mask quot for films back in the 1970s and early 1980s He also turned down roles in NIGHT SHIFT and FLASHDANCE before moving on to RUNAWAY In an interview done by Gene for the WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE film Gene also mentioned that his initial interest in going into acting came when he was asked to do a television senes in 1982 However the name of this series was never mentioned Gene was also initially involved in other projects behind the scenes Reports appeared in the winter of 1989 suggesting that Gene was to produce a series for Shannon Tweed called DELTA TENN which was to be aired in the spring of 1989 This series was to be based on a comic book as was SABLE listed above There were also talks in the mid 1980s of a film being put together by Gene and Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue but no official word was ever announced as to what the film was to be about Going even further back Gene was also involved in ideas for the KISS animated television series which was to be done by Filmation in 1978 79 a film script in 1980 which no details were given and the prospects of a MUSIC FROM quot THE ELDER quot film for which the options were still available as recently as 1992 In 1989 Gene was also working on producing a film for Warner Brothers based on a book by Gerald Frank called THE DEED As with the other projects listed here nothing was to come of this film idea On the television front Gene has made numerous appearances on talk and news programs addressing his latest films or KISS projects way too numerous to list here Gene was also involved in a RAD quot Rock Against Drugs quot commercial made in 1987 which showed Gene as a mutated drug user and as himself He also made a comedic appearance on the second episode of JUST SAY JULIE an MTV program starring comedian Julie Brown Mention should also be made of Gene s brief appearance in the film THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PART II THE METAL YEARS Gene appears only briefly in this movie made up of numerous interviews with a variety of heavy metal performers including Paul Stanley Ozzy Osbourne and members of Megadeth Black Diamond 2 can be purchased from the Online KISS Shop

EOnline com via Martin Wombwell What better way to learn about Rock n Roll than from one of its legends Gene Simmons nbsp The KISS demon has signed on to star in six episodes of VH1 s Rock School a reality series inspired by the hit movie School of Rock according to Daily Variety Only instead of Jack Black instructing classically trained kiddies the music net has tapped the fire spewing tongue wagging bass player of the world s most outrageous glam band to offer up lessons in everything from how to don the monster makeup to presumably playing such KISS gems as Lick It Up Calling Dr Love and Rock and Roll All Night nbsp VH1 is teaming with Britain s RDF Media the creators of ABC s Wife Swap and Spike TV s I Hate My Job to produce Rock School for U S viewers The company just finished shooting a British version of the series starring Simmons for the U K s Channel 4 and has already ordered two additional installments nbsp For the American version RDF and VH1 will tweak those episodes and include additional music and footage of KISS performing from past MTV specials nbsp Joe Houlihan RDF s president of U S operations said Simmons immediately sparked to the idea especially since before forming KISS in 1972 and becoming a 70s rock icon and darling of groupies he taught sixth graders in Spanish Harlem nbsp Gene was genuinely interested in transforming the troupe of pre teens into a rough round the edges rock band Joe Houlihan RDF s president of U S operations told Variety nbsp Added Houlihan We ve been kicking this idea around for a few years With the Jack Black film becoming a big hit we feel like the timing couldn t be better nbsp For Simmons the show is yet another opportunity to soften his own image from the brash rock n roll playboy he s been tagged in the tabloids to a sort of professor of rock something along the lines of Ozzy Osbourne rebranding himself America s favorite dysfunctional dad in MTV s The Osbournes The musician has already appeared as a guest judge on American Idol and turned up recently on The Apprentice nbsp Rock School s opening session will reportedly find Simmons teaching his pupils the art of the grand entrance as he pulls up to an English boarding school in a limousine drawing indifferent reactions from the kids who found him to be arrogant and middle aged nbsp The cultural byplay between this American rock star and these plum English kids is really quite funny added VH1 executive vice president Michael Hirschorn nbsp Talk about an education nbsp No word whether Simmons fellow KISS mates Paul Stanley Ace Frehley or Peter Criss might be making any cameos nbsp VH1 is expected to debut Rock School in late spring or early summer nbsp This isn t the first time Simmons and company have tried to appeal to the kiddies Aside from producing their own comic book series in the 70s and starring in a 1978 made for TV movie where they battle an evil scientist KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park the arena rockers also appeared in a cartoon short that was screened ahead of Nickelodeon s 1997 feature Good Burger Two years later Kiss played themselves in Detroit Rock City a feature length teen comedy inspired by

KISSinuk com to the wonderful boys of Dressed To Kill who played such a magnificent 2 hour set of KISS toons at Walthamstow s Standard in London last Friday night It was hard work getting there from s Wales and even harder work getting back but the time in between was amazing With pyro confetti bombs multiple fire breathing blood spitting and over 20 songs to pick a favourite from Dressed To Kill were simply the best I d seen them up until now Happy 15th Anniversary Dressed To Kill Starting off with a mind numbingly bum bitingly exciting combination of I Stole Your Love Deuce and Makin Love the boys managed to squeeze in other classics such as 2 000 Man Rip It Out Love Gun Calling Dr Love Shout It Out Loud God of Thunder I Was Made For Lovin You Lick It Up Detroit Rock City Beth Rock And Roll All Nite and Black Diamond But definite highlights were the far rarer Move On Hide Your Heart All American Man and Hooligan They even had time to throw in Toni Basil s Mickey oh and a few riffs from Exciter and Fits Like A Glove you tease Ash This gig had it all I hadn t seen DTK since the 2003 Notts Rock City Expo when they delighted me with Kissin Time nbsp and Thrills In The Night but I

Vincent talking on ...%%==%%6745%%==%%26 Jan 2004%%==%% Entertainment USA 1982 This interview whilst very short provides a very rare chance to see both Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent talking on UK television The interview was taken by Jonathon King sometime in 1982 Material on this page was taken from Entertainment USA The Video 1986 At the bottom of the page is a funny behind the scenes story Listen to the entire interview in Real Audio 5 0 JK The Superdome the inhabitants of New Orleans claim it s the largest covered building in the world The people that live in Houston say no no it s the Astrodome that s bigger The people in New Orleans say you can fit the Houston Astrodome inside the Louisiana Superdome Here it s laid for a party for 5000 people would you believe Sometimes there are ball games inside and you have hundreds of thousands of people I think a hundred thousand is about the most and tonight there s a KISS concert KISS the rock band are performing in the Superdome I asked them what they thought of the current music scene VV Everything is er changing there s heavy metal for everyone still and I think the wave has gotten more commercial and I enjoy it I really do I enjoy everything I love all kinds of music JK Gene you appear to be doing something awful to him over there if we can separate you from that for a minute GS I m pinching his butt NB See below for the true story about this VV Do you know how hard it is to keep a straight face when someone s pinching your butt GS It s my job JK Gene how about your attitude to the current rock scene What do you think of all the new English music that s coming through all the synthesiser stuff GS Well first I d like to state that I hate all living things that s to start off with then I think it s great I really do It s nice to see shorter people playing little instruments out of little amplifiers it s all very healthy very good But we re big people and we like to play out of big instruments DON T YA KNOW THAT Clip from live version of Creatures Of The Night was shown here EC Yeah you know you can go out on the streets and be fairly unnoticed and be kinda regular if you want Now that is not to say exclamation point that when we go out we re totally unnoticed I mean you know we look a little strange and not like the ordinary people that are around us You know we don t look like you Pointing to Jonathon PS Eric favours red dresses EC I favour red dresses and spiked heals JK Paul one of the things that makes your shows so successful are the incredible special effects have you any idea how much they cost PS Erm I have no idea how much it costs but it sure is fun I think all that stuff makes something better and it makes the show more dynamic but a rotten group is a rotten group with all the effects in the world I mean lately we ve had to do a few shows without anything except the amplifiers and the lights and it was still three encores and everybody still went crazy I think ultimately what s most important is music JK The music s what counts PS Well sure the rest is only going to enhance it JK That s KISS in concert one of the best live bands I ve ever seen even if now they ve sadly abandoned their make up And now for the true story behind the butt pinching thanks to Si Cosson Jonathon King used to write an E USA column in the top rag quot The Sun quot I m not sure if you d remember or know of it but he happened to mention one week about the KISS interview from a few years previous and how he was buds with Top Sausage Gene When the film crew were backstage recording the sesh it became apparent that they only had one reel of film left and that was the one in the camera When Gene got wind of this he started sodding around with Vinnie The final cut which was aired showed Gene pinching Vinnie s butt right But the full view and full story which was not shown would reveal that Gene actually un fastened Vinnie s trousers and he finished the question and answer sesh with his strides around his ankles and the director didn t feel confident that they had enough film to re shoot And another Jonathon King story from The Sun again thanks to Si Cosson In typical JK style the piece started quot A good friend of mine Gene Simmons of New York Rock Band KISS quot Why is anyone famous that he knows always quot A good friend quot and old flame Diana Ross had lunch in a top floor restaurant in LA The lunch time service was very busy and the restaurant packed and the quot Muso s quot request for a table near er a window was unfortunately declined due to table reservations So not to be out done Gene took it upon his own judgement to pick up the table and place it at a suitable spot next to a window by himself Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop

Now KISS are famous for many things their outrageous stage costumes their crazy make up and sometimes even their music But most of all for the huge huge tongue belonging to bass player Gene Simmons I m sure you ve spent many days wondering just how long jd2 jpg 7007 bytes Gene s tongue is Well take a look at this takes out a plastic head with extendable tongue it s my tongue o meter If I reach inside here and take hold of this by simply extending it I can accurately measure some of the worlds most impressive tongues So here we are at about 5 inches it s the African swamp frog at about 6 inches it s Mick Jagger lucky old Jerry At a staggering 10 inches blimey it s Gazza but if I extend it a little bit further walks to the other side of the studio still extending the tongue the owner of the world longest lip snake is Gene Simmons from KISS Formed in 1973 they set out to deliver the greatest rock amp roll show on earth Now 25 years on jd4 jpg 9998 bytes they ve sold over 75 million records their fan club the KISS Army has over 1 million members and the bassist has slept with over 3 000 women which is 2 more than me Ladies amp Gentlemen those who are about to chat we salute you it s Gene Simmons Paul Stanley Ace Frehley amp Peter Criss collectively known as KISS jd5 jpg 10526 bytes huge cheer from audience as the guys come out at this point Ace nearly trips over the stage with his platforms Before you sit down just indulge me teach me the move Paul shows him how to hold a tennis racket like a guitar PS It s gotta be down lower near your crotch where your brains are jd6 jpg 9569 bytes JD Sit down guys I had no idea it was so easy Where can we see you playing in this fine country of ours PS Actually we re going to be finishing up our tour that s taken us all round the world We ve played to 2 5 million people and we re ending the tour at Finsbury Park on July 5th And we will not only play we will blow the place up and that s how you ll remember us it ll be worth both your time and your money JD They promised to get rid of Finsbury Park that s gotta be a good move GS Why don t you come JD I will come will you send me a free ticket GS No jd8 jpg 11657 bytes JD I ve never understood you re like horny spacemen and space cadets and devils but you re like a very upset little cat it just doesn t work points at Peter Ace cracks up laughing PC It s always the drummer JD Did you all sit down and say quot no you can t have a star cause I ve got one quot was it a big fight Who started it PS It actually was all our ideas but we did fight about who got to wear the star and who breathes fire We kinda divvied up the effects jd9 jpg 7532 bytes JD You made Ozzy Ozbourne look pretty tame as you just went for it in a fairly large way didn t you GS We were always respectful of all English fans in a very large part we re a product of the English music scene Without the Beatles and on and on and Ozzy s very cool in fact Ozzy played with us at the Monsters Of Rock about a year ago It s easy for us to go for the fast lap and all but we re very very nbsp respectful of English music PS All of our heroes were in English bands audience cheers jd10 jpg 10274 bytes JD What about the New York Dolls They were round about the same time GS They were cool but no where in the league of the Stones PS All the great bands all the great rock bands of the 60 s and 70 s really came out of your country here and we re back JD But do you think this distracts from the music I mean all of this because you tried to shred the make up and this image for a while and you re back into it Do the two just go together PS Well this is the reunion of the original band members who haven t played together for 20 years We re synonymous with the make up and we believe in entertaining When people pay had earned money to come and see us the idea of seeing a band that s on stage looking at their shoes if you re gonna see shoes come and look at ours they re much more entertaining jd11 jpg 11587 bytes JD They are Let s have a look at those shoes and see KISS in action small Shout It Out Loud clip played That was the mighty KISS Where was that concert guys PS That was the first show of this tour that took place about a year ago in Detroit But Detroit stadium sold out in about 45 minutes and it started the things to come this tour s been absolutely amazing JD Most tour bumph has you know stuff like 30 000 trucks 40 000 amplifiers and what have you but you said you ve got 6 000 condoms on the road with you is this the case GS Well this is very important we ve got to make sure that good will exists between our 2 countries And it s our distinct pleasure to do the show onstage and then nbsp do the encores back in the hotel jd7 jpg 11324 bytes PS We re first and foremost a rock amp roll band and we believe in entertaining and trying to give people their money s worth and whatever they want to give us in addition we take JD And also you ve got 4 of your songs are going to be recorded and used as musak in American supermarkets I can t believe that GS And why shouldn t they JD Which ones are they going to be GS I was Made For Lovin You Beth and one or two others But I mean in life I think you ve got a choice you can listen to Montevanie or KISS you pick it JD You describe songs like God Of Thunder as romantic ballads what about Lick It Up what s that one all about GS That s as romantic as you can get jd12 jpg 9527 bytes PS That s the appetiser But really you figure that musak and that kind of music is played in dentists offices and you figure that people have been drilled once or twice listening to KISS so what s the difference audience cheer JD I was also surprised that you are against drugs GS Always have been We re not trying to earn any moral credit it s not our responsibility to tell you how to lead your life Our choice for ourselves and always has been we ve got too much respect for ourselves and our fans to do a half assed show and we re not gonna get up there audience cut him off by cheering JD And also being shot 50 feet up in the air with your stage show on drugs probably would be a bit scary GS You ve not only got to be of sound mind but also of sound body there s so many bombs on that stage that if you take one wrong step left or right and you re toast JD Is it really that dangerous GS Oh yeah jd13 jpg 10010 bytes PS It s a mine field For us it s safe but once in a while someone jumps up on stage and we try to get them off as quickly as possible because the truth is you can get really hurt up there It s real dangerous somebody s gotta do it and we ll do it JD Well it s been lovely talking to you good luck with the tour But I can t just say goodbye like this would you indulge me and go for huge rock amp roll goodnight in a kind of auditorium way Okay everyone I d like to thanks the MIGHTY KISS All 5 guys get up and take a bow as per a KISS concert JD KISS have left the interview Back To

in 1994 when Paula Yates interviewed guests on the bed during The Big Breakfast It was broadcast when Gene and Paul were over here promoting the KISS My Ass album That show also included a KISS question before one of the advert breaks they showed a cool live clip of Deuce with Gene Paul amp Bruce doing their rockin near the end of the song and asked which band it was They also showed another clip from KISS Konfidential but for some reason that has been cut from the version of the interview that I have bb1 jpg 9695 bytes Paula Yates comments on how cool KISS concerts are and how her ass is still smoking from the last one she went to PY I m here with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons from KISS GS Hello hello PY Do you think that there are any bands out there that are anywhere as near as fantastic as KISS Which bands do you listen to PS Many many many bands all kinds of bands I listen to everything from L7 Tool to Tony Bennett I mean you ve got to run the gauntlet from one to the other It s like eating one kind of food you get undernourished if bb3 jpg 7986 bytes you stick with one thing It s important to listen to all types of music otherwise you have this inbreeding and you wind up with children with eyes very close together GS I think you listen to everything get box sets pick up Nat King Cole s box set get the greatest hits of Bob Geldof and the Boom Town Rats PY That s a fine album Paula was married to Bob at the time GS It s a good idea listen to everything in Gene s bad English accent PY What s the most outrageous thing that you can say that you ve ever done on tour that s like repeatable GS Hmm PS Hmm I guess next question PY Really PS Well is this family television PY Very much so PS Okay that s best left to the imagination PY But now you re married aren t you PS Yes happily PY You re happily married and you re sort of married points to Gene PS He s married to me but I find sex elsewhere GS You know this is some kind of conspiracy every time any woman ever talks about my social situation they put me in the married category bb4 jpg 9229 bytes PY Well you have a partner and 2 beautiful children that is sort of married GS I have 2 beautiful children and I care very much for their mother but I refuse to stand in front of any religious person with a collar or noose around his neck saying that I will never want or be with another woman again I refuse to take that oath because it s unenforceable you see the male animal But you don t want to hear the truth PY No I don t GS In that case the fantasy is I promise I ll never look at another woman you re the only one for me yeah PY I liked that it sounded good to me GS That s fine I ll continue to say it you re the only woman I ll ever want PY Thank you Gene it s what I ve always suspected Now what I was going to say before we digressed was is it not difficult now that you ve got families and things that your off on tour for long long periods GS You first you re married PS I m waiting to hear there s always like a punch line that comes afterwards It s more difficult but certainly if you can t get to your home then your home comes to you You know when you re away from home you re kind of in Disneyland When I m away from home I m in suspended animation it s not quite real but certainly there s always room to fly people in no big deal no problem bb5 jpg 14971 bytes PY Are you horrible when you go back home again though after you ve been away and keep looking for the rider in the kitchen and things Gene laughs PS No I ve heard I m wonderful when I come home except I try to dial room service but other than that I ve been told I m quite good when I come home Desperate too PY Is it true you were sick on stage once PS I ve been sick once or twice PY On stage PS What do you mean like tossing up Yeah I ve done that once or twice and the crowd stood up and went How did he do that PY They thought that was worth the ticket price with these special effects PS You must see them Paul vomits on stage can t understand how PY to Gene You re just being rowdy you GS You know I m smiling and she thinks it means something I m just being nice look PY DON T Don t put your tongue out Because we ll have to have some sort of commercial break if your tongue comes out What s the crusher bb6 jpg 8730 bytes GS We have very enthusiastic fans one of them was a young lady who appeared in out last home video and KISS fans are very talented here talent was to crush beer cans between her breasts So we though it was a family service so we showed it in slow motion we slowed the sound down and you heard everything in all it s glory Scientists were amazed at her ability to deify gravity and point them both in your general direction it was religious PS It was a hell of a way to get into beer drinking I tell you I never drank so much in my life here open another one please PY Do you ever miss not having your make up GS I have a little bit on right now PY No but I mean your full monty make up GS Monty PS This is flesh coloured I m actually white underneath I just put this on this morning GS No I don t think we miss it I think the question could also be asked of anybody do you miss wearing your diapers PY Oh really it was such a relief to get rid of it PS I never thought of it that way GS I did The point is really that when you go through life you go through different stages and at some point you re comfortable wearing something and some points your not PS It would be horrible to think that you have to look the same year in and year out because people become comfortable with a nbsp certain look I mean you might not look like this in 10 years PY I doubt it GS Would you mind I was asked to er say something on the air am I allowed to say that PY What were you going to say GS I m supposed to say Hello Miss Puppy PY Okay I m glad we ve got her over with PS Oh boy But we re not hen pecked folks PY What I was going to say though is that it must have been quite advantageous that you could go out and do anything and not be recognised bb7 jpg 9694 bytes PS That s kind of not true when you figure that with or without the make up you saw guys walking about the street with 9 inch platform shoes girls blouses and black hair down to here So people said either the circus is in town or those guys are in KISS GS And if that fails you could always go over and

Transcribed by Jason Pawlin TV (Tommy Vance) : Last Sunday morning I caught a 'plane all the way ...%%==%%12470%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% BBC Radio One Friday 8th May 1992 Transcribed by Jason Pawlin TV Tommy Vance Last Sunday morning I caught a plane all the way to Atlanta in Georgia and spent the following three days on the road with KISS nbsp From Atlanta then to Baltimore Philadelphia and then on to New York nbsp Great people to be around they really are nbsp They re professional people nbsp They ve got an excellent album out it s called Revenge and Paul Stanley talks about it nbsp After a bit of this cue quot God Gave Rock n Roll To You II quot the Revenge version nbsp TV Paul Stanley welcome to the Friday Rock Show PS Hi it s good to be with you TV The last time we actually was Donington PS Yeah and a rainy exciting Donington it was too nbsp Actually it was the last one of that nbsp magnitude and that size nbsp It was gosh 1989 I think it was 1988 Jason nbsp It was fabulous and there s nothing quite like that kind of spectacle and so many people getting together for the same cause TV Okay let s talk about the songs that you were involved in on the album nbsp Hardly any of the songs were written by you and Gene together nbsp You know you seem to be independently creative and let s talk first if we can about Take It Off which is track 2 on the CD PS Well interestingly enough although there s only one song I think that Gene and my name appears on this was very much a collaborative album not just between Gene and myself we did it just very much as we did our best albums which is someone will come in with a song and then we ll go into rehearsal if it passes the approval test of everybody liking it nbsp And with everything on Revenge it had to be unanimous that people liked the song or it got ditched nbsp If everybody s names went on the songs for what they added it would look like a law firm nbsp cue Take It Off all songs from now on start at the beginning but stop at Bruce s solos nbsp PS Take It Off was a song that was started fairly on in the project nbsp I don t know what the scene is over here right now in the UK but in America there are these fabulous titty bars as they re called and there s some of the most absolutely stunning women in these places nbsp And music plays and they re dancing around without their clothes on nbsp It s quite fun nbsp In some of the places they would strip and dance to songs like Heaven s On Fire or Highway to Hell or Lick It Up and I just felt that if I could be a part of somebody taking off their clothes then I d be doing my job nbsp Tough Love started off as a riff that Bruce had it was a really good riff and it was just a case of figuring out where it would go and you know writing the rest of the song around it nbsp cue Tough Love nbsp Tough Love is just basically a one on one kind of thing and saying to somebody we have a special kind of relationship that s not just the norm but we do things that other people think are kind of taboo nbsp We like to do the things that others fantasise and for me love is more than just soft you know give me tough love give me love with a little more edge to it nbsp The great thing about Revenge was that nothing was done until it was mixed and almost up until mix time we were making sure everything was right and sometimes we would be making changes or reducing vocals or changing lines of the song or adding or taking away nbsp I saw Jimi Hendrix twice and so did Bruce and if you can imagine the impact that he has today just from listening to tapes and CDs to have seen him live was monumental and of course people remember himdoing Star Spangled Banner nbsp So Bruce nicked a little piece of this and interestingly enough if anybody plays it on guitar you immediately think of Hendrix nbsp cue nbsp Hendrix s solo NOT Bruce s nbsp TV This one is Heart Of Chrome PS It s an interesting song to me because so much in the UK you have your tabloids that print some of the most amazing things you know about people and their relationships and what goes on behind closed doors nbsp We have them in the States too and it s always very interesting to realise that there really are no secrets if there s two people involved nbsp Should you do something you must realise that the other person has the power to expose it nbsp There s nothing sacred that goes on in the bedroom if one person chooses to divulge it that s basically what the song is about nbsp It s about being betrayed and telling the other person quot I m still gonna be able to get one up on you and show you quot nbsp cue Heart Of Chrome nbsp TV quot Everybody knew you used me I was just to blind to see You taped our sexy conversations nbsp And sold them to the BBC quot PS Yes laughs TV Why single out the BBC PS BBC is so proper sounding and I guess it s my way of tipping my hat TV The track Everytime I Look At You again a collaboration PS quot Everytime I Look At You quot to talk about it as a ballad kind of does it a dis service because there s this whole genre of songs they call power ballads that I think are like extremely whimpy sappy and most of them are nothing more than uptempo songs that have been slowed down to this funeral durge tempo and no he s not talking about I Finally Found My Way but he could be Jason nbsp Whereas somebody in the uptempo version is singing about jumping on some woman in the back seat of a car now they re singing about missing her nbsp Unlike some other ballads or power ballads or whatever you would call them it maintains a certain integrity I think that the album has nbsp cue Everytime I Look At You nbsp TV How come Vinnie Vincent is back in the frame but now as a writer nbsp You did fire him didn t you PS In no uncertain terms he was fired booted out twice and was told that the door only swung one way and that was out nbsp We were very much again driven and committed to making Revenge the best KISS album in I don t how many years nbsp You know we realised on our last tour with this enormous show we had and with these 23 or so songs we were playing how much we had accomplished as a band and the legacy that we had and the history that we had nbsp And if we couldn t match our finest moments then maybe we shouldn t be doing this anymore nbsp Although in the past we may have felt good about what we had done it s almost like when you re training you need somebody sometimes to push you to do those few extra sit ups or whatever and maybe we didn t push ourselves or maybe we didn t have anybody there to push us and we lost sight of something nbsp With this album the total goal was to make a great album and it didn t matter who wrote how many songs who had the most who had the least or who else was involved nbsp So Vinnie Vincent was thrown out of the band is certainly somebody who has had and may continue to have a lot of problems in his dealing with people and that won t change but I don t see any reason to turn the knife nbsp We ve written some good songs together and it was an opportunity to possibly write some things that the album could benefit from nbsp And then who wins is KISS and the fans nbsp Ultimately if the fans win then we did a great job nbsp Our writing together was good and it made sense for us to give it a shot TV Is it easy to continue a relationship on your part and his that ended so acrimoniously PS Well not to be catty but he certainly could use it He declared bankruptcy and all other kinds of things happened nbsp cue for some unknown reason quot Thou Shalt Not quot the first of many appearances nbsp PS In the beginning we had so much notoriety the first three albums through KISS HOTTER THAN HELL and DRESSED TO KILL when in fact we were beyond broke nbsp I mean if you showed us a dollar somebody would take it away from us we owed so much money nbsp I remember somebody saying to me in an interview How s it feel to be rich and famous and I said quot I can tell you how it feels to be famous but quot because I was living in a furnished flat you know and my neighbours didn t even knew what I did because I was hardly ever there nbsp We borrowed and put everything on our manager s credit card nbsp I mean we were so deep in the hole that even once we had become massively successful we saw no money nbsp I mean we had spent so much money that we were always one step ahead of the creditors nbsp It was amazing but if you don t believe in yourself that much how do you expect everybody else to TV Today we re in Atlanta tomorrow we re going to be in Baltimore nbsp Tomorrow in Baltimore you re going to receive from the Mayor the keys of the city nbsp Is this not KISS being elevated to the level of absolute establishment PS Well pause actually it s bewildering to me because I was making a joke before let s see if this guy gets re elected nbsp Cos the idea of guys like us the keys to the city is pretty strange because we re probably the antithesis of everything that politicians stand for and um it s beyond me nbsp I find it pause I can t say that I m flattered or honoured I m puzzled but at the same time you only live once and if somebody tells you tomorrow you have the opportunity to meet an alien I d probably say quot Yeah I ll do that too quot nbsp It s interesting but pause I m baffled nbsp Life is very strange and if we re lucky enough we get to experience some of these very bizarre moments nbsp Key to the city nbsp I d imagine they d change the lock nbsp cue Unholy and end of interview nbsp TV KISS come to this country very very shortly nbsp Check your local press for details nbsp They re bringing over an enormous great stage show that s never been seen in Europe before nbsp I went to see them in a small club they re on a small club tour that s on in America just for the hell of it though they did rehearse for a full month before they did it nbsp They were in a small club in Baltimore just a thousand people and they can cut it and cut it so finely that band and they re committed to what they are doing nbsp Check them out when they come here I ll see them at least three times nbsp That was Paul Stanley next week we ll have the voice of Gene Simmons nbsp That s KISS an excellent outfit nbsp Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail BBC Radio One Friday 8th May 1992 BBC

nbsp Mike Japp Interview E mail Mike here Mike Japp co wrote several songs with KISS starting with the Paul Stanley solo album in 1978 Mike helped write Ain t Quite Right Move On and Take Me Away Together As One on Paul s solo album Saint And Sinner on Creatures Of The Night and Down On Your Knees on Killers Mike has very kindly agreed to this exclusive interview for KISSin UK so that he can talk about his past with KISS and his brand new CD that has just been released Q You have co written 5 KISS songs in the past including 3 on Paul Stanley s solo a lbum how did you first get involved with writing with Paul for that album MJ Paul and I met thru a photographer named Barry Levine and Paul would stay at Barry s house when he was in LA Barry had some songs of mine on tape and happened to have it playing one day The music must have caught Paul s ear cause he asked Barry who s that Barry replied a friend of mine Mike Japp You guys should meet and do some writing he only lives down the street So Paul and I met hit it off and wrote those songs on his solo album Q Likewise how did you get involved with KISS again a few years later for Creatures amp Killers MJ Kiss manager at the time a great person named Bill Aucoin came and banged on my front door and said Mike give Paul a call at the hotel would you so you two can do some writing I said ok I have just got back from LA and met up with Bill in palm springs Bill is alive and well and is in great spirits I must say that makes me feel good I had a few ideas at the time like the beggings of down on your knees So I met up with Paul at S I R rehearsal studios plugged in my guitar and we all that is Paul Gene Eric and myself had a great ole time jammin out the almost finished version of that song This was the first time Gene and I met He and I hit it off real good so I played him another idea I had which he loved That idea eventually became the song saint and sinner which Gene and I co wrote Q Do you have any stories about writing with Gene amp Paul Who did you prefer writing with and why Well I think it s funny When Paul came over to my place the very first time I must confess I did not know anything about this band called Kiss So I went out and got an album so I could hear what thy sounded like You must remember I had only arrived in the states a few months earlier Well I liked what I heard but due to the makeup I did not know which one Paul was So when he arrived at my place I was feeling a little awkward we sat and talked for awhile and eventually I just had to ask quot eh scuse me Paul eh which one are you He laughed pointed and said that one I do not have a preference writing with Gene or Paul They are both very talented and both are very committed to their craft Also their differences are very complimentary in the most positive way My personal opinion is that Gene is a very underrated bass player If you listen to what he play s under melodies you will find his notes are so cool and supportive of the vocal Good one Gene And Paul plays A slammin rhythm guitar and plays a very cool slowhand Nice Q How did you Paul amp Brian Adams split up the writing of Down On Your Knees What was Brian like to work with MJ As I mentioned earlier We were at the rehearsal studios playing away I heard this guy singing I thought he sounds good it was Brian Adams He was there for another song and was actually playing it on the bass while singing We said hi to each other very briefly and we both continued on with what we were doing Paul ran down on your Knees by him and Brian added his bit to it So it ended up with me writing half of the song and Paul and Brian splitting the other half The short couple of days I spent in rehearsal with Brian were very good I would have liked to have spent more time on a one to one with him but we were all just trying to get the songs we were already involved with finished Q Were you ever a fan of KISS and if so do you still follow their career Did you go to any of the recent UK KISS concerts MJ As I mentioned earlier I did not know anything about the band when I first met Paul I could say I am a fan yes I am Deeper for me than that is I have enjoyed Paul and Gene s company as people and have had many a good conversation about a lot of different topics And which is very rare in this business have always been fair and honourable to me I did not attend the UK concerts I am living in Wales right now and have been very busy playing live music myself I am writing a lot also But I ll get to see the guys nbsp one day I m sure Q Is your new CD your first solo effort What is the story behind getting the album together MJ No my current CD is not my first I was signed to Motown records awhile ago an honour to me as I m white but due to record company turmoil myself and a few others got lost in the shuffle So my album was never released I recorded half of my album in LA the other half Live in the studio here in Wales The songs are very personal to me They range from just acoustic guitar and voice to full on band with sax and backing girl singers I ran across countless obstacles while trying to record these songs Producers who tried to change the simplicity of the songs studio equipment breakdowns master mixes getting lost you name it it happened But one thing I ve learned that is to carry on and complete what you start and don t let anyone or anything deter you on the way The radio stations here play the album a lot The audiences her at the gigs have been very receptive to the songs Some request songs like Cool Water I m Gone Oh Jane and especially Be Good as they all love to join in and sing typically Welsh I sell a lot of CD s at shows also I am proud of it and happy to share it The songs are very relatable Q Is your album going to be available in UK shops I have heard various samples from mp3 com and have to say that I like the sound of what I heard It has a very mellow acoustic rock sound is this the style you like best Would you ever consider going back to a heavier style such as Saint amp Sinner MJ I am currently talking to some record companies who want to distribute my album in the UK At this point in

nbsp KISS Boxset Standard Edition At last it s arrived the quot Mother Of All Boxsets quot well not quite what we all hoped for track list wise but even still it s well worth the money I m not even going to attempt a full review of every track there s a cool review over at the KISS FAQ site for those interested as at the time of writing I still haven t listened to the full 6 hours worth So what do you get for your 60 odd quid Well for starters it comes in a nice black box KISSTORY style complete with a silver KISS logo Open it up and there s a 120 page soft back book 5 cd s and the obligatory merchandise advert The book is a full colour affair with a 10 page KISS essay and track by track commentary from Paul Gene Ace and Peter Every single page has a photo with every era of the band well represented Without a doubt this book really makes the boxset complete it s and excellent addition and complements KISSTORY I very well The 94 tracks are split over 5 cd s number 1 covers 1966 1975 2 covers 1975 1977 3 1976 1982 4 1983 1989 and finally the 5th cd covers1992 1999 Rather than being a boxset full of rarities which is what most die hards were after this is being marketed at all KISS fans hence it is probably best described as a huge greatest hits package with some rare tracks thrown in Every era of KISS is represented including original studio recordings demos live tracks and a few sound checks While there are 30 unreleased tracks it inevitable that most people with have a fair few of those although from my point of view none of the copies I already had compare in quality to those on the boxset the quality of all tracks is excellent For example the 3 Wicked Lester tracks are the clearest versions I ve ever heard Some of the unreleased songs have in fact been released previously as b sides eg Deuce amp Strutter and on Killers Nowhere To Run etc Each CD is nicely packaged with several pictures of the band from that particular era on the fold out sleeve The back of each CD has a picture of either Paul Gene Ace Peter or Eric Carr as does the area under the cd Out of the unreleased tracks one that really stands out for me is It s My Life if you already have the demo that Gene recorded in the early 80 s then you will be pleased to hear that this is a brand new version It was recorded by Paul Gene Ace amp Peter for Psycho Circus but never made it to the album god knows why vocally it sounds different to the old demo Ace even sings the last verse which is very cool I still can t believe this has never been released as a single As expected this wouldn t be complete without being rounded off with KISS anthem Rock And Roll All Nite this version being from the forthcoming Alive IV which according to the book will be released next year If this is a sign of what Alive IV will be like then I am very much looking forward to getting my hands on it some people may feel like it s over produced but I like it a lot Without a doubt this is worth the money at around 12 per cd with an excellent book thrown in you can t complain All the tracks are of excellent quality and there is a very good selection of songs from all eras The lack of rare tracks

Unmasked Tribute To KISS Review by Dan Bach Over the last few years there has been an explosion of so called tribute albums from both independent and major labels to all kinds of bands The first KISS tribute album I was aware of was the Australian Waterfront Records Hard to Believe subtitled A KISS covers compilation Great inside gatefold cover full of memorabilia Most notable cover was Nirvana s Do you love me a full year and a half before Smells like teen spirit was released In 1994 KISS released and produced the KISS my Ass classic KISS re grooved in 1996 the Derock Triage label brought out Spacewalk a salute to Ace Frehley in 1999 KISSDeutschlande released a German bands compilation there have been also a few KAOL compilations as well Undressed an Unmasked tribute to KISS I first heard of this project from Alexx Michael when his band Shameless toured the UK last October Shameless had covered Flaming Youth on their first album and covered the Gene penned song American Man on their second album Queen 4 a day nbsp As the subtitle implies all tracks are songs found on the 1980 Unmasked album Sixteen tracks in all first eleven follow the original KISS album the last five are second versions of Naked City Tomorrow Two sides of the coin Easy as it seems and Talk to me The packaging is better than other small label tributes An introduction to the KISS Unmasked album period by former financial coordinator tour manager and now lecturer author of KISS and sell C K Lendt The middle pages are given over to Julian of the KISSfaq website with an indepth analysis of the 1979 1980 period for KISS This album is Alexx Michael s project Shameless play three tracks with Pretty Boy Floyd s Steve Summers on vox Orignally this was to be a Shameless only project but when word got out offers of covers came flooding in worldwide nbsp Here follows a tracklisting and a short description Jendza Is that you Goth rock from Detroit Rock city Ryan McKay Shandi Stripped down acoustic Version Ryan Adams Comparisons Shameless Talk to me OTT glam flash bomb fever and thunderous drums Na h Naked city NYC punk supergroup Runaway train version Demon drive What makes the World go round Screeching vocal hard rock nbsp not too dissimilar to the orig Pretty suicide Tomorrow NY retro glam punk only Female vocalist on album The Gemini sect Two sides of the Coin Industiral Marilyn Manson

it seems Guitar keyboard effects Merger of My dead sister amp Noise therapy bands The Torpedo girlz Topedo girl No man battlestations Torpedo intro musically Very similar to the original Shameless You

Hungarian Tribute band acoustic and Vocal outro Great cover to the cd front cover an Ibanez iceman guitar pair of Paul s Unmasked era boots and a young lady in stilettos Back cover is a lineup of the Unmasked costume boots Inside tray cover is an ad for the KISSnews de website Closing none of the songs sound like the originals some production values lacking But for an overall concept ie KISS fans who were turned onto KISS or saw them in 1980 it works well with all styles catered for The KISS tribute is a doubled edged sword the KISS fan is the only market that the album will attract Hard to believe is now a collector s item for two sets of fans KISS and Nirvana Question has to be asked whatever happened to the other bands on that vinyl album Until I played this album the only band I was really familiar with was Shameless and heard of The Torpedo Girlz through their UK tour in recent years Some of the tracks are interesting enough for me to investigate the bands further I wonder if anyone s thought of doing a Dienasty or a Creatures tribute Thanks Thanks to Dan for the review Available From RSR Music Germany RSR 199977 3 nbsp nbsp nbsp Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop

Symphony Alive IV Review by John Crooks As the title suggests this is a show and not by half but thirds This two CD pack is a live recording under the alive banner although not the Alive IV that should have come out about two years ago and relegated to the Kiss vaults Anyway let s get on with the show indeed I received my advanced digi pack copy of the Symphony concert today recorded on the 28th of February 2003 in Australia I was very happy with the monochrome embossed digi pack cover image below with the slash of red blood dripping down the left hand side As Kiss are well renowned for being the Kings of Rock And Roll what not have a Coat Of Arms too nbsp This Crest features a violin and flying V guitar crossed on the centre shield with the inscription VIRTUS CONSISTET IN ACTIONE what ever that means in plain old English On the bottom right hand corner we have the words Your Presence Is Requested so lets go and get KISSSSS ed You Want It You Got It CD Cover Rear amp Front Left amp Right Inner Gatefold On the initial opening of the pack we are greeted with the stage image image above with lighted KISS logo and the title header of this review WELCOME TO THE SHOW As we enter the pack via stage left for the first disk of the two we re greeted with an explosive image image below of the Symphony stage with Gene Simmons Tommy Thayer alas no Ace but his down fall for not being there enough said and Peter Criss CD 1 Stage Left Tray On the first disk has a Rock And Roll Over parody of the saw blade image image above from the album cover under the title of ROCK AND ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN This is coupled with an image of supposedly Beethoven in the four parts Kiss make up which I thought looked cool nbsp Disk one musically is Act One KISS on their own and Act Two KISS with The Melbourne Symphony Ensemble twelve orchestra members The disk running time is of 46 52 minutes nbsp Act One set list features Deuce Strutter Let Me Go Rock amp Roll Lick It Up Calling Dr Love and Pyscho Circus This section runs for 27 41 minutes nbsp Act Two set list features Beth Forever Goin Blind Sure Know Something and Shandi This second section runs for 19 09 minutes CD1 amp CD2 As with the first CD disk two is of the same design but the Beethoven image image above is facing in the opposite direction On this stage right section of the digi pack we have the second half of the explosive stage image image below from stage left image This photo has the one an only Paul Stanley and the rest of the whole stage stacked with amps and pyro and the Melbourne Crowd cheering and waving the Band and Orchestra on CD 2 Stage Right Tray This second disk is the third instalment of Act Three KISS and The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra In this final Classical I use this term loosely act the set list features Detroit Rock City King Of The Night Time World Do You Love Me Shout It Out Loud God Of Thunder Love Gun Black Diamond Great Expectations I Was Made For Lovin You and the grand finale Rock And Roll All Nite The pack also includes a 24 sided booklet image below with the usual run of the mill KISS Orchestra and credited names The best thing is some of the best photographs of the band during the live show including one of KISS with the Australia Children s Choir in the middle There is a few cheeky photos of the fans backstage and during the concert On the back of the booklet there is a great colour but black and white effect image of the four current KISS men and it looks like Tommy Thayer fits in very very well with the look and the image of the new guitar position I can t fault him in anyway Tommy and the Spaceman make up have melded extremely together Oh Rock On Tommy sorry my Cannon and Ball moment there and keep her lit nbsp Booklet Back amp Front The inner packaging comes with a twelve segment two sided poster sorry to big to reproduce image here This poster on one side consists of letters from fans expressing their thanks to the band and the orchestra for the concert These letters and notes are from around the world that attended the symphony judging from the places they have named On the second side we have more thanks and a picture off the stage show finale judging by Paul Stanley holding up two broken guitar pieces that are about to be throw out into the crowd nbsp Also included is a single one sided square segment in black with silver writing coming soon advert This mini ad gives the low down on the details of the new DVD and VHS recording of the symphony show including behind the scenes footage and interviews Well you say thanks for the info on the package but what about the music mister All I can say is if you re a KISS fan you will know the songs either studio or live So nothing new there then or is there Well yes there is more to say the band have pulled off a classical excuse the pun live CD also to be available in limited edition vinyl too Maybe the original Alive IV although shelved as stated earlier album was good but this is better and far more unique in the recordings The album is polished to a great clarity musically The symphony parts are excellent and they add a new dimension to the songs they are accompanying nbsp While first act is a straight a head KISS show with nothing really new as with other live versions In the second act with the Ensemble KISS play the softer side of there track history and the Ensemble tag on just beautifully to enhance the ear drums If you enjoyed Beth live before with the backing tape loop orchestra you will be amazed with this version with a real live twelve piece playing along For the final act we the listener get the full on rocktasic bombastic rockopera that is KISS Symphony Alive IV This section with the faster harder edged KISS tracks really is a monster feature God of Thunder sounds as if it was made to be this Grandi oustic Big and Bash As for the other songs I can honesty say I love the new vib that has been brought to them through the orchestration My special moment on this two CD disk set has to be the inclusion of Great Expectations live a totally fantastic piece to be proud of and it should have been played more in the past I could go on for far more but that would spoil your fun in the listening process of this compilation oh no not that word again I know we are fed up with great hits packages whither live or studio This though is different in many ways and worth the s I have spent in getting it Another combo it is you say Fuck it go get it you will not be disappointed in any way I hope not anyway nbsp On closing I would like to thank my cousin in William Marshal Sunshine Queensland He was there he got me a Symphony T Shirt and Tour Programme and posted it back to me in Belfast Only true KISS fans would do that for you as I would for him A big cheers amp many beers to you cousin although not Kissin Cousin may I add LOL you re the very best Enjoy the show every well I did even if I didn t get there to see it in person To those who did and have the tickets to prove it all I can say is YOU JAMMY BASTARDS John Crooks Belfast N I 18th 7 2003 Thanks Thanks to John for the review and scans

I just thought ...%%==%%7400%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Psycho Circus September 1998 nbsp Psycho Circus Review compop3 jpg 3671 bytes At last Psycho Circus has been released in the UK I just thought I d add my contribution to all the other reviews that have appeared over the net Martin Curtis has another UK review at http www mjc mcmail com psychorev htm Firstly you can t help but notice the cover it s one of those changing pictures like you used to find free in cereal boxes when you were a kid Basically if you move the cd box slow enough you get to see the Psycho Circus curtains opening up it s a pretty cool idea for a cd box there s also a moving KISS logo under the cd itself There s also a free screen saver on the cd I ll annoy people at work with that one tomorrow and a specially recorded message by the boys themselves you need a Win 95 machine though 1 Psycho Circus By now I guess most people have heard the title track it s a brilliant start to the album The song reminds me somewhat of Love Gun don t know why it just does the solo is brilliant This is the best rocker from Paul in a long time 2 Within Ok over to Gene now Apparently this one was originally written for Carnival Of Souls but it didn t make it Some of the riffs at the beginning remind me of Thrills In The Night don t let that put you off though The chorus really rocks it s the heaviest Gene song on the album I don t know why so many people have been slagging this one off it s excellent I love it how Gene is singing along with himself in the chorus don t know how he ll pull that one off live 3 I Pledge Allegiance To The State Of Rock amp Roll Another great song from Paul This is a straight forward kick ass KISS Army type song kind of in the same vein as Flaming Youth Some of the riffs are incredible I love this one 4 Into The Void At last a new song from Ace and I have to admit I was a little disappointed by it at first The guitar work and drumming are both really good especially the solo After listening to it a couple of times it really grows on you it s very rocky and wouldn t look out of place on Ace s solo album 5 We Are One Gene sings this one but it s not like the usual Demon offerings that we ve had in the last couple of albums think of See You Tonight and you ll be on the right lines Probably the most commercial song on the album and very unusual for Gene but this song is brilliant without doubt my favourite Let s hope Mercury decide to release this as a single pleeeease 6 You Wanted The Best Yes I did want the best and from the title I thought I was going to get it but I didn t This song features all four members singing different parts and seems to be based on the past relationships of the band and the reunion with lyrics such as The fans wanted us to play we hear and we obey The best part of the song is the solo I just can t seem to get into the singing itself And what s with Gene s Dick Van Dyke accent at the end 7 Raise Your Glasses Another stonker from Paul this one will kick ass live After listening to it I recognised loads of different parts of the song but I couldn t remember where from After thinking about it I reckon that they ve lifted some of the guitar parts from It s My Life which was recorded in the 80 s but never released Another favourite of mine We re the champions 8 I Finally Found My Way Peters ballad written by Paul has been slagged off all over the place Okay so it s no Beth or Hard Luck Woman but it s not that bad If you ve ever heard Peter s solo album or Let Me Rock You which I managed to get on cd last week then you ll know exactly what to expect Give the Catman a chance I like this 9 Dreamin Wayhay Bruce has made it on to the album after all well sort of he co wrote this song with Paul and pretty damn cool it is too The verses of this song are really strong but I feel the chorus lets it down slightly 10 Journey Of 1 000 Years Gene s finale to a great album yet again this isn t a typical Demon song but it emphasises the fact that Gene isn t only a God Of Thunder The song features an acousic amp orchestral backing which accompanies Gene superbly And to finish off the album we go full circle and hear the Psycho Circus solo played by the orchestra superb Overall this album is excellent lots of surprises even if there are one or two disappointments It s great to see that they didn t just try to re record Destroyer this album builds on both old and new material with bits of from the 70 s right through to Carnival Of Souls nice to see that not every KISS song is about shagging Personally I would have liked another Unholy type song from Gene but that doesn t mean that I don t like what he has recorded I love all of his songs No doubt about it there s going to be a lot of new material played on the next tour It s such a shame that we might not be getting any singles released over here I just hope that Mercury do change their minds and release one when the next tour arrives as has been rumoured Highlights We Are One Psycho Circus Journey Of 1 000 Years Raise Your Glasses nbsp Psycho Circus Newsbits Mercury UK have just announced the following news snippets Album will be released in the UK on the 21st September possibly a day before the US A video will also be released early September NO single will be released in the UK although it will be released world wide hmm that sounds fair All copies of the cd will have the enhanced software CD cover will feature a closed circus curtain when the cover is tilted the curtain opens I ve heard it is very impressive European tour is thought to start in April May next year A huge promotion was planned for Times Square in NY but this has been cancelled more plans are TBA Band will not be doing any meets amp greets nor will they be

nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp London Preview 7th June 2000 nbsp Back To Main Page Just got back from a special preview showing of The Nightmare Child at the Playing Fields in London a few people from Gathering Of Developers made the trip over to show off the game Well what can I say apart from that the game is shit hot don t worry about having to think when you re playing this game was built for your trigger finger alone Take2 amp The Gathering Of Developers had the whole of the Playing Fields closed off to show off a few of their games the most heavily pushed being KISS Psycho Circus Apart from grabbing a load of freebies KISS posters cans of KISS energy drink and best of all an open bar the day was spent sitting with the developers and seeing the game in action Shane from G O D took me though the game from start to finish and I have to admit I was totally blown away the graphical effects are amazing I guess like me most of you are probably interested in the game just because of KISS sadly apart from one of the developers I think I was the only KISS fan there although a lot of UK magazines were taking a big interest which was good to see After the intro to the game which doesn t seem to contain any KISS music the game starts and lets you pick which character you d like to play something I didn t know was that you start the game without your KISS armour amp make up When you pick your character all 4 are standing in a ring without make up and you can spin them around from character to character Paul Stanley was up first and he looked pretty cool as did Ace However for some strange reason Peter starts the game with a goatie beard and as for Gene he starts off the game completely bald I guess you get to pick a wig on the way or something I don t know how Mr Simmons will feel about that when he sees it Once you ve picked your character you get to enter one of the realms each realm is a huge level There are 5 realms in all one for each of the characters and a special 5th one where you battle the Nightmare Child Each realm is based around each of the KISS characters and has features from their characteristics eg lots of fire in Gene s etc You then need to find your armour as quickly as possible as from the very start hoards of Circus Psycho s are after you the very last power up that you pick up will give you your make up and the powers that go along with it Each character has his own array of weapons along with a special weapon Paul Stanley s special weapon is his star that causes mass destruction to come from his finger tips Without a doubt the best weapon on show was Gene Simmons he has a dragon that sits on his shoulder use it properly and it blows out a huge trail of fire from it s mouth see picture over use it and all you get is a trail of black smoke There are also axes loads of guns explosive jack in the boxes and whips that can be used Indiana Jones style and you ll need them all too there s tonnes of mutants scattered around the levels A huge fat bloke will bounce back anything you fire at him if you hit him in the stomach the clown face from the cover of the Psycho Circus album will try to kill you and to top it off if you re too slow at cleaning up someone will come along and resurrect all the dead Now comes the slightly disappointing news for KISS fans as you know 10 KISS songs are featured in the game all of these are accessed via juke boxes that appear throughout the levels Shane used the juke box to put on a record all of a sudden Psycho Circus blasted from the speakers and it sounded great really added to the game if you re a fan anyway However after about a minute the song faded out it looks like whole songs are not going to be featured only parts of them This is a great shame as it was really cool hearing Psycho Circus amp Unholy when you re playing someone else from GOD later told me that this was due to licensing issues However there are a few other KISS mentions throughout the game The Coventry road house and an advert for Cold Gin to name just a few I then got a preview of the SEGA Dreamcast version before I go any further I better point out that the demo they had was only 15 complete They are currently having problems converting the PC version as so many enhancements have been made to the PC s 3D engine this is likely to push the release date for the DC back to August or September Compared to the PC version this didn t really have the same appeal it just didn t look as good and seemed to have lower res graphics but like I said it was only 15 complete and I was ensured that the final version would look a lot different One cool thing to note is that the Dreamcast version will come with a special Destroyer comic book it will also allow multi player with up to 3 other Dreamcasts over the net although they are trying their hardest to push this up to 4 PC will handle up to 16 players This is also supposed to be the very first 1st person shooter to be released for the console So overall if you like 3D shooting games and there s a lot to shoot you will love this Graphically it can complete with anything else out there hopefully the UK press will take more of an interest to help it get the success it deserves PC Format amp PC Gamer who were both there have confirmed full page previews in their next issues No demo is planned yet although the game is at a stage where one could be produced don t expect one before it s official release 14th July in the UK 3 days before the US release nbsp Back To Contents email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail Psycho

nbsp nbsp nbsp R eview full game nbsp Back To Main Page UK nbsp packaging different to the US one We ve waited almost 2 years for this but KISS Psycho Circus The Nightmare Child is out at last and it was worth the wait you won t be disappointed As you probably know the game is a first person shooter based on the Psycho Circus comic books created by Todd McFarlane The story goes something like this In an epic battle The Four Who Are One defeat the Nightmare King never suspecting that from the jaws of this own annihilation their arch enemy has played one last treacherous card Seizing upon the broken oath of the Elder the Destroyer summons the last fragment of his once awesome strength to pull the spirits of the Elder down with him trapping them in the void beyond Although the Elder do not perish they are left powerless until their spirit can return to their realms Choose your character Before vanishing forever the Nightmare King plants a seed of evil the Nightmare Child with it s birth the child will invade the space left vacant by the Elders so that no creature may challenge it s dominance Only one mortal can devise a means of calling back the Elder Madam Raven from the Psycho Circus She must recruit four proxies to collect the shards of the Elder s forms and give them the power required to overcome the Nightmare Child One of the cloners on level 1 Okay enough of the story what s the game like Well after a nice little intro featuring graphics taken from the comics you get to meet Madam Raven herself who will talk you though what you need to do Firstly you need to pick a character to play none of them are KISS at this point they re supposed to be normal people Although you re not restricted as to who you play first it s recommended that you play Star Bearer Paul Beast King Peter Celestial Ace and then the Demon Gene Each of the characters has it s own world water earth air and fire which is a theme that remains throughout the worlds levels Fancy a bit of Psycho Circus If not just destroy it You start the game wondering about with absolutely no weapons the old gypsy hag will help you out though and you ll soon find Paul s Thornblade At this point there s not much to kill until you slash open a bar and flick the switch on the wall Before you do that though go check out the jukebox as long as you don t destroy it you ll get to hear a little bit of Psycho Circus one of the 10 KISS tracks featured Basically you ve now got to find all the parts of Paul s costume that will turn you into the Starchild himself starting with his gauntlets and finishing with his make up which you won t find for a little while yet Don t use this weapon too close cause it ll take you out with it The enemies are very well designed and at times swarm at you in what seems like hundreds Once you pick up your first gun you ll be able to take pot shots at blowing the arms off the crab like things that are everywhere in the first level You usually find wherever there s a mass of them waiting for you there will be a cloner nearby destroy this and no more will be produced Later on you get bigger enemies like the Archniclown a huge clown with spider legs easy to kill as long as you shoot him first There s also some fat floating buggers that breath deadly gas hit them and they shoot off around the room like a balloon just don t walk into their fart though The final obstacle on Paul Stanley s level is a huge clown that will inflate bigger and bigger the more you try to shoot it Make sure you save the game regularly though if you run out of ammo you ve got no chance against the things the game will chuck at you nbsp Outside The Coventry one of the many KISS references Progressing though the level you will eventually pick up various pieces of your characters costume that will help you along your way eg the boots will allow you to jump higher etc not until you get the make up will you be able to become the KISS character himself and get the ultimate weapon that comes with it just check out Gene s fire breathing dragon Various other weapons are available to you ranging from a chain gun to a windblade which if you use too near an enemy will probably blow you up too as I found out the hard way Mr Stanley has just found his platforms Graphics within the game really are excellent I had it cranked up to 1024 x 768 without any problems on an Athlon 550 Sound too is good if you have a 3D speaker setup then use it as the game makes great use of Direct 3D whilst it isn t KISS the in game music is very well done and it even changes tempo depending on what is happening on the screen The learning curve is excellent start with Paul Stanley and you ll have no problems try to jump straight in with one of the others and you d better be good cause you ll soon have no ass left if you re not The guys at Third Law recommend trying to use the mouse amp keyboard to control your character mouse to look around amp fire keyboard to move I didn t get on with this at first but stick with it cause it s a lot better than a joypad once you get used to it Make sure you shoot this fat bugger before he fires back So what s in it for KISS fans then Apart from the music small segments played from jukeboxes plus other small segments such as Shout It Out Loud in a cut scene and God Gave Rock amp Roll To You in the cathedral there s also various KISS references scattered throughout here s some that I ve seen so far The Coventry roadhouse Advert for a band called Wicked Jester Cold Gin in the bar nbsp on advert board Deuce mentioned on an advert Hard Luck Beer Black Diamonds try collecting 40 and using them A huge 10 story high copy of KISSTORY Pictures of the KISS solo albums on the wall Paul s is in the Magic Shop Dynasty nightclub There s probably loads of other stuff but I m still trying to get through all the levels after which you can play a 5th world against the Nightmare Child itself Also if you re into online games then you can link up with other players over the net and play against one another I haven t tried this yet but from what I ve heard it works well Admiring his make up in the mirror As for bugs inevitable in PC games these days I haven t found any yet which is a good sign however I believe people with TNT2 cards may find problems using the games menus only affects those with the latest drivers though this has been fixed in a patch that Third Law are to release very shortly Overall this is without doubt the best game ever to be based on a rock band not exactly hard though considering some of the other crap around it is well up there with the greatest first person shooters Although it may be slightly linear don t let that put you off I haven t had some much fun with a game like this since Doom something that I hope will give it a wider appeal to more than just KISS fans Scores Graphics 9 10 Brilliant effects especially the outside scenes GOD have done wonders with the Lithtech engine nbsp Sound 8 10 Loads of nice in game music amp 3D effects BUT NOT ENOUGH KISS nbsp nbsp Gameplay 9 10 Good solid gameplay slightly linear although this doesn t take away any of the fun Easy to get into and hard to put down nbsp Overall 9 10 Brilliant fun may not be enough KISS stuff for some fans likening but this will definitely have appeal outside of the KISS world Loads of action without too much thinking makes sure you ll be coming back to it again and again nbsp nbsp nbsp Test System Win 98 Athlon 550 128MB Ram G400 Video Sound Blaster Live nbsp Min System Win 95 98

South Beach Miami FL I ericc2 jpg 11828 bytes was a music business student I was doing some work with Rob Freeman who co engineered Ace s solo album with Eddie Kramer in 1978 While going to school I worked with such bands as Rush and Metallica After finishing school I moved back to my native New Jersey There I started working some of Ace s shows I would see Ace about once or twice a month for about a year We hit it off pretty well Ace is one of the coolest guys I know Once KISS got back together I started writing material for quot PROPHECY quot quot PROPHECY quot is dedicated to ERIC CARR and a tribute to the KISS solo albums The record will also feature some other KISS related musicians including former members of The Ace Frehley Band Eric Carr is featured on the CD is a couple of different ways The CD opens with a rare radio I D that Eric did shortly before his passing Later on the CD is a digitally remastered version of Eric s quot YOUR TURN TO CRY quot I also do a cover of this song to pay tribute to Eric The story of Eric s involvement with the project is pretty cool A friend of mine knew Eric s family I went to a KISS expo in New Jersey and was introduced to Eric s sister I had made an Eric Carr action figure that I wanted to give to the family but didn t know if I would get the chance I gave the figure to Eric s sister and she loved it Later in the day after telling her that my CD would be dedicated to Eric she offered a featured appearance of Eric s material I loved the idea What better way to remember such a great guy than with a piece of his own material I took the recording into the studio to give the best presentation possible The song is really cool Eric plays and sings on it It s a great way for the fans to remember Eric as a musician a member of KISS and most importantly as a great guy The cover art for the CD is a tribute to the KISS solo records It features a solo album style portrait of myself in the makeup I would have worn if I had the opportunity to be a member of the band The quot glow quot color for the hair is yellow Dennis Woloch who did the graphic design for the solo records gave me some input on the design I will be doing the national USA Kiss Expo circuit to promote the CD During this tour I will be making radio appearances doing Q amp A sessions a performing The official release date is Sept 26 1999 The release

Contact Gigs parasite1 jpg 19130 bytes Parasite exploded onto the KISS scene with their first live show on February 8th 1997 at Harley 146 s in Cleethorpes and have been delighting KISS fans with their powerful authentic re creations of all that is best about KISS ever since They may not be the UK 146 s longest running KISS tribute band but their enthusiasm dedication and attention to detail makes them stand out amongst the ever growing numbers of tribute bands and acts dominating the rock scene nowadays I was lucky to be invited to join the Parasite guys at a private party at Harley 146 s in Cleethorpes joining them their crew and friends in saying farewell to Kath who manages Harley 146 s and gave Parasite unlimited support and a great venue for their gigs time and time again Due to Brewery shortsightedness Harley 146 s is closing to make way for yet another faceless theme pub for the masses Arranging to interview the band during the evening gave me a great opportunity to meet these guys behind the scenes and find out what they were really like underneath the make up parasite4 jpg 10559 bytes Without costumes and make up I might be forgiven for not recognising Parasite members Mark Darren Danny and Carl at first however it was rapidly clear and uncanny the way their personalities matched up with their KISS alta egos Mark stands tall with long black hair and the same slyly smiling look on his face like Gene that makes you have a good idea what he is thinking He says he has a long tongue too so he has been told and playing Gene came quite naturally Darren has always related well to Paul and seeing him perform on stage shows you why He is one of the driving forces behind Parasite and has unlimited reserves of energy Danny readily admits that he has no sense of balance just like Ace and readily falls into peals of laughter At first Carl doesn 146 t strike you as a typical Catman but very soon his sense of humour practical joking and hyperactivity reminds you of Eric Carr as does his style of playing drums In fact Parasite offer KISS fans the chance to see a show with Carl taking on the role of Peter Criss or Eric Carr depending on the choice of songs that evening or how Carl wishes to play the drums Carl is quick to admit his drum style suits that of Eric Carr parasite3 jpg 10014 bytes One of the strengths of Parasite as a tribute band is this ability to offer fans music and songs from all KISS eras The costumes and style may have been taken from the Love Gun period but Parasite can offer fans the chance to hear any KISS song they wish for even to providing a Vinnie Vincent in the guise of friend and fellow KISS fan Danny Egholme when required Parasite believes they are there to give the fans what they want and if that is songs from other line ups and post make up days then that is what they will do It is this same dedication to fan 146 s wishes like KISS themselves which puts Parasite amongst the best of the tribute bands around today During the evening spent with these guys their energy enthusiasm and passion for what they do is very apparent They take being Parasite very seriously but are definitely not serious guys to be in company with Their good humour and practical joking is infectious and they quickly made me very welcome and part of their group for the evening Danny talked to me about being in Parasite saying it was an expensive and time consuming business which eats into much of their social and work lives Despite this the appreciation of the fans makes it all worthwhile for them Mark says he would quite happily give up the day job and do Parasite full time if it were possible Carl tells me that having a good time and being one of your heroes for the night is reward enough Making friends with the fans from all over the UK and Europe is an added bonus At this point Mark gives another of his grins and admits he likes meeting the girls in the audience Carl laughs and mildly complains that the girls always go for Mark and that it wasn 146 t fair from where I am sitting I can see why 150 Mark does have more than a superficial resemblance to Gene and is one seriously sexy guy parasite2 jpg 16368 bytes Parasite has played numerous gigs around the UK and happily recounts to me some of the colourful stories of life on the road Danny smiles when he tells me of the problems he can have in getting the guitar to smoke and that it can be painful on a particular part of his anatomy Although he is quick to assure me there is no lasting damage In fact the pyros and smoking guitars have caused one or two incidents at gigs setting off smoke and fire alarms in one instance during a show Carl recounts another time when Danny went on stage with a twisted ankle and smashed finger whilst Carl did another show with broken fingers taped to the drumstick so he could play Once again their professionalism and unwillingness to let down the fans keeps the show on the road All four of them enjoy being on stage and quickly relax into their roles music and songs once the first pyros go off and all is well So what is the future for Parasite All quickly agree that more gigs and touring in the UK is guaranteed into the foreseeable future KISS fans want to experience the KISS phenomena and getting to a live KISS show is not possible on a regular basis for UK based fans Parasite offers KISS fans a good opportunity to experience the KISS phenomena and having seen them perform a Parasite show is definitely worth going to Mark would like to see Parasite do more gigs abroad possibly Japan and the US Carl would love to get a hydraulic drum riser to add to the show Danny wants to meet KISS in person and obtain one of Ace 146 s guitars They all want to carry on playing as Parasite get bigger and better and spread the word 150 KISS Parasite are four very talented guys who turned their dream into reality and pay their tribute to KISS with energy and enthusiasm and true style For me the magic the fantasy the experience that is KISS is created again when these guys get up on stage and perform Parasite believes wholeheartedly in what they do and put on a good show with the philosophy that both they and the fans are there to have fun As Carl aptly puts it quot We will carry on doing it for as long as everyone has fun and that goes for both us and the fans quot Having seen them on stage I have to keep reminding myself they are not the real thing 150 their performances are that authentic Mark stomps gyrates gestures and gives a good rendition of what we have come to expect from the Demon himself Danny is dynamic on the guitar and plays with all the style and panache of the real Space Ace Carl sits behind the drums playing strong supporting rhythms doing justice to Peter 146 s more jazzy style and the memory of Eric 146 s heavier double bass pedal approach Lastly but by no means least Darren struts cajoles and makes love to the audience throughout the show So everyone

from one the most amazing experiences ...%%==%%11201%%==%%22 Aug 2004%%==%% Washington DC Virginia Beach 24 25 July 2004 Review amp Pictures by Kerri Evans Just got back from one the most amazing experiences of my life Two KISS shows back to back with Platinum passes nbsp My story starts a few months ago when I first had the idea of going back to the USA to see KISS I suggested the idea to my boyfriend who s immediate answer was are you crazy you wanna spend all that money on going to see KISS This was before I even suggested the idea of Platinum 1000 apiece tickets So I gave up on the whole plan since I didn t fancy going over on my own again as I did last year I then saw that Dressed To Kill were playing a gig in Stourbridge which I dragged him along to not knowing that he would leave there being an enormous KISS fan So as you do on the way home from the gig I said now can we go to the US to see KISS OK was the answer Can I spend 1000 each on tickets to meet the band Urmmmm OK again yes I was totally shocked so booked the tickets the same night without him having to think about it any more An amazing coincidence also happened before the gig when I was buying a Peter Criss Mego doll on ebay from Billy C oxon who just happened to also have Platinum tickets for Washington DC so that s where he comes into our adventure We arrived at the venue about three hours early since all week I could think about nothing other that getting to this gig on time and in one piece the opposite for the year before but that s a whole other story The first thing you realise is how amazing the atmosphere is for a KISS show before you even enter the venue and how friendly everyone is especially when you tell them you have travelled all the way from England to be here I still had no idea where my seats would be until I picked them up from the will call box office only to find I had front row Gene s side We then had to meet all the other Platinum people to get our photos taken on the stage and who do I spot Billy our first meeting who coincidently has a ticket sitting next to me We get back stage and the first thing I see is Eric Singer leaning against the railing not yet made up a bit shocked my this I just walked past and said hey And carried on We didn t have long before we were ushered back to the main arena area for Z02 and Poison nbsp After Poisons set a KISS curtain was put in front of the sta ge no sooner than about 20 minutes later the curtain dropped and you here the so familiar sound of You wanted the best you got the best the hottest band in the world KISS The stage set was amazing from start to finish not one point did I feel tired from jumping to classic KISS songs I was so close to the stage I could touch it and I could see things that you never dreamed of being close enough to see Like Paul Stanley hold his boots together with gaffer tape and every time Gene sticks out his tongue he dribbles They also announced that this show would be recorded for a DVD that they will be releasing later in the year which made it even more amazing nbsp nbsp During the show I had almost forgot that this was it the day I meet KISS finally So as I m walking out the arena to the backstage area I start feeling the nerves We got backstage and had about 20 minutes to wait for the boys to come out In they walk larger than life and immediately everyone starts clapping and we get into taking the photos That s when I feel my heart start to race to 500 miles per h our so I worked my way to the back of the line in hope I would be a little less obviously excited and nervous when my turn for photos came So I start walking up not thinking and just grabbed Paul and put my arms around him and I here Eric saying how come Paul always gets all the hugs So I walk off after the two photos except Paul doesn t let go and follows me around the room and pretends to hump my leg fine by me My first item to get signed my Paul Mego doll which he thought was funny I think I have the worlds smallest signature Next up Gene he was busy talking to someone and didn t look at me when I handed him something to sign then glances at me when he hands it back Then he doubled taked me and starts rubbing my ears and said do you know who you look like a woman I used to live with her name was Cher Gene then put his arm around me and walking me around the room introducing me to all the other fans as Cher I had a brief conversation with both Tommy and Eric although all the questions I had planned to ask didn t get asked I spend most of my time backstage silent and just starring which I regret End of the day but still the adventure wasn t over The next morning the three of us prepared for our four hour drive to Virginia Beach Again we were about three hours early so decided to go to the local mall and spend 500 in Spencer s on KISS You name it if it had KISS written on it we brought it I think the people behind the desk thought we were a little crazy We got to the venue and found that we were second row Paul s side You cannot get much better than that this time I was even more excited that the night before On walks the band and first one to spot me was Tommy who smiled and waved from the stage at me I thought the band had a lot more energy than the night before and Tommy seemed to enjoy himself more I saw Paul make eye contact with me in the middle of the show so I shouted throw me a pick Now I have no idea what he thought I said but I didn t get a pick instead I got him licking his lips and thrusting his hips at me again fine by me Gene also spotted me and pointed at me and smiled I half expected him to shout Cher We left wishing we had another to go the next day so already I am planning my next trip to the US to see them again Now even more of a KISS fan if that is possible I recommend Platinum experience to everyone It seems unreal until you get your photos mailed to you and see you were really there I could probably type for hours about my two day experience and show you many of the 300 photos that I took but I ll leave you with a few words of wisdom KISS still live to be the most amazing band rock on you guys are the

nbsp Daily Mirror Gene Simmons Interview 7 4 2004 I WALK into the room and he hugs me like a randy uncle Gene Simmons from KISS the most outrageous member of that most outrageous band is hugging me and dancing like your dad The American shock rocker famous for his extraordinarily long tongue and bizarre stage make up is hip thrusting away in a room at St Martins Lane hotel in London and insists on playing me every track from his solo album charmingly entitled A hole It s going to be a long afternoon Simmons who turns 54 this year has had a career that spans 32 busy years in which he has fathered two children sold 90 million records and by his reckoning slept with more than 4 000 women Four thousand six hundred to be precise Women he says are partial to his long tongue It must be the tongue watching this middle aged man with long dyed black hair strutting to his own music it s hard to see what else he has to offer But sex is a preoccupation It s all he wants to talk about and as I walk into the room he asks quot Do you want to see my family portrait quot He unrolls a poster of himself with more than 30 semi naked women If he s trying to shock it works but only because I m already wondering how he pulled those thousands of women Gene Simmons was born Chaim Witz in Haifa Israel in 1949 His mother Flora was a Holocaust survivor and she moved with him to New York when he was nine It was when he first saw the Beatles on TV as a teenager that he decided to become a musician quot The Beatles changed my world I thought that s how you do it You can have a job and the girls will want to have your babies Even an ugly guy like me can get laid if you strum a guitar quot THIS is a man who believes his quot honesty quot is a breath of fresh air to women He has a charming line in excusing his insatiable appetite for cheating on his partner Shannon Tweed the mother of his two children Nicholas 14 and 11 year old Sophie quot The male species manufactures billions of sperm quot he tells me quot It s our duty to do what the Old Testament says which is Spread Thy Seed quot The only problem with women is that they think all those sperm we make is just for them But the honest truth is it s not I would urge all guys to stop lying to women quot He s lost me but looking at me earnestly he continues quot If you and I were an item I would look you in the eye and say I desire you with all my soul and all my heart but I want your mommy and your sister too quot His justification for being a serial shagger is hilarious but I can t imagine how Shannon a Playboy playmate and once the star of erotic thrillers has put up with him for 20 years quot Privately women say all men are dogs and that s correct quot he says quot If we had been monogamous in the days we all lived in caves the next generation would be cross eyed and retarded It is because the male of the species is polygamous that the gene pool is healthy quot A Nobel prize for science is surely on its way Included in his estimated 4 600 women he s been with are such famous exes as Cher and Diana Ross But there is only one woman he says he has ever really answered to quot I have been happily unmarried to the same girl for 20 years quot he explains quot But the only one who ever had a right to ask me where I was going was the one who gave me birth My mother In return for life she can ask me where I m going quot Goodness knows where this conversation is going though he peppers it with attempts to lay on the charm in his own unique style quot You re very cute quot he says quot If only I wasn t gay I m a lesbian you know quot I smile kindly and ask him about that famous tongue of his It launches a full blown rant about how it s been a public service to all women quot It s ironic that I m mostly known for my tongue which is a hideous thing But it s every girl s best friend no batteries required Now it s time for everybody to know me by another body part my a hole I am one you know quot Probably but Gene is referring to his new album which is out in May only the second solo album in a music career spanning more than 30 years The tracks veer between hard rock blues pop ballads and a cover of the Prodigy s Firestarter But he s more keen to talk about the part of his anatomy which the album is named after quot We ve all got a holes I ve got one you ve got one the Pope s got one I m going to have a hole parties and you have to be a real a hole to get in You ll get a certificate quot For all his talk of women and sex Gene s real vice is something much much worse quot Cake quot he says quot I just love it quot But unable to help himself adds quot If a woman was a cake I would not only f her I d eat her too quot Gene is feeling guilty today Picking at a salad he looks serious for the first time during our interview quot I let myself indulge yesterday and I feel really guilty You don t want to see me get up on stage and see fat ass Gene It s tough but you ve got to maintain it This morning I had a chocolate chip muffin I stuffed my face like a Christmas goose quot Gene is not your average music legend While he s done all the sex and the rock and roll you will never hear stories about the drugs He didn t make his 75million by being in a drug and booze haze quot I ve never been high or drunk in my life or even smoked a cigarette What s sad is that everybody has the same reaction the inference that of course everyone has been high on drugs and that s pathetic Even people who take sleeping pills and muscle relaxants they re drug addicts quot When asked about his good friend Ozzy Osbourne Gene looks genuinely sad quot I love the Osbournes to death I m sorry Ozzy did that to himself for 30 years He deserves better Why would you succumb to something that robs you of your soul quot Another subject Gene is serious about is politics And there s good news for George Bush when it comes to the Iraq situation Gene is right behind him quot I prefer John Kerry s environment policy I support his policies on women I prefer the separation of church and state I don t like a lot of these ethical points of view that George Bush has quot But do I want Kerry as President of the United States No Bush is a mongrel He is a cowboy He can t even pronounce the word nuclear But this is the worst enemy terrorists have And that is precisely the guy you want in charge quot When the world is going nuts you want a guy who is nuttier than them I want a rabid hawk I want a warlord quot Wait until a guy walks down the street with a suitcase with a dirty bomb Then you won t think your Prime Minister is such a bad guy As soon as everything is back to normal and we ve got peace I want to get George Bush out and get someone who is reasonable quot Meanwhile Gene is keeping in shape In May he will tour with Kiss for five months and take in America Australia and Japan The biggest influence in his life was the Beatles and he still admires British performers today He loves The Darkness and Robbie Williams who dressed up as Gene for the video of his smash hit Let Me Entertain You quot We re trying to get the Darkness to open for us on tour this year In England it s cheeky like they re having fun but in America they re perceived as serious quot Robbie lives right down the road from me in Hollywood Hills I thought his video was great and was the sincerest form of flattery quot Gene s own pace is hectic He has crammed in 32 KISS albums endless touring acting roles in films and TV shows writing books running a magazine and overseeing KISS merchandise And all that sex Now at 53 he would love to take up golf quot But I just don t have the time quot he sighs quot The only hobby I have is me quot nbsp Thanks nbsp Available From nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Other

only will the cd have a hologram printed on it he seemed to think it would be on the cd itself not the cover but it may also have some kind of enhanced element to it In other words it may contain some sort of multimedia track that will play when you put the cd in a CD ROM drive much like the Natalie Imbruglia Big Mistake cd single can t wait I ll have more news from August 11th when Mercury will be

some really cool stuff for sale in a shop called Spencers they had almost every KISS product you can think of including a pink neon light in the shape of the KISS logo Anyway while we were at Universal Studios in Hollywood we went to the Beetlejuice Rockin Graveyard Show I didn t want to go at first I wasn t really listening to them as they come out to sing the first song that is until I heard the line You show us everything you ve got yup the first song they sang was none other than Rock And Roll All Nite I couldn t believe it It was really cool seeing the crowd clapping their hands to a KISS song And then to close the show off they started to sing the last chorus from the same song if anyone goes to Universal in the near future I really recommend that you catch the show it was really cool 20 4 1998 Exclusive Union interview amp News I now have a Union page that contains a new exclusive interview taken on 3rd April 1998 and some UK related news There is a campaign to get Union some recognition please help by e mailing the UK magazines listed on the page 2 4 1998 Bruce amp John in the UK Received this news from Liz Fairweather today Union s press agent in the UK Firstly the long awaited UK release of the debut Union album is pencilled in for 11th May Secondly Bruce and John will meeting and greeting at Nottingham Rock City on Saturday evening 4th April this was confirmed only a short while ago They are both going to be available for interviews tomorrow so lets hope that they appear on TV There is also a chance that they may be answering some questions for KISSin UK 27 3 1998 Let Me Entertain You Pictures of the new Robbie Williams video are now in the TV section KISS Web Awards Thanks to everyone that voted for me in the KISS Web Awards I managed to win the Best Original Photo category for the Eric Carr Photo Cheers Updates Did you know KISS have been on the cover of a British newspaper Have a look at the Magazine page if you don t believe me I ve also started to add a few more UK magazines to the Magazine page one of them is a rare copy of Brum Beat from 1994 27 2 1998 KISS Dolls at last I ve managed to get hold of all 4 KISS dolls at last I found them in a comic shop in Birmingham go to the KISS Gear page if you want the address amp phone number I also have the address of the UK distributors They cost 14 95 except for Gene who was 19 95 however if you buy all 4 at once then you get them all for 59 95 I ve still got them in their sealed boxes I can t decide whether I should open them or not Luckily I managed to get the dolls that come with the letter stands rather than the solo album ones they re much better than I expected They had plenty of dolls left plus a load of other KISS stuff such as the new make up kit shame I didn t have more money I also got hold of a new Giorgio t shirt I ll put a picture up as soon as I have one it s a really cool picture of Gene complete with tongue 10 2 1998 KISS Freaks Special Delivery Issue 6 I ve just received the latest issue of the KISS Freaks newsletter my Finsbury Park photos are on the front cover and my review is featured inside as you can imagine I m pretty chuffed Bruce Kulick John Corabi chat Early this morning 2AM GMT Bruce amp John were due to join a live chat with audio amp text at Universal Studios in LA Unfortunately their plane was delayed from New York so the chat couldn t go ahead as planned Just before the host Francesca was about to give up after waiting 45 minutes the phone rang it was Bruce amp John Because they were late we didn t get the chance to ask them any questions but they chatted about the new Union album for 10 minutes or so Bruce said that he still gets on with Paul amp Gene and he has just finished helping Paul to come up with some demos for the new KISS album which was pretty cool I wanted to ask Bruce if a UK record deal had been made yet but I didn t get the chance if anyone knows then please let me know Incidentally I have heard the new album and it really rocks In my opinion it s somewhere between Revenge amp Carnival Of Souls pure heaven Anymore UK sites A couple of days ago we lost one of the few KISS sites left in the UK well sort of Julian Gill and his web site KISS Audio Trading UK have packed up and moved to the USA the site is still running though and is now known as KISS Audio Trading Worldwide Are there any other UK KISS sites out there that you know of Please let me know if there are KISS Dolls in Britain I recently received this from Delme Rosser about getting KISS dolls in the UK You can buy them in forbidden planet in London New Oxford Street You can get Peter Paul and Ace separately but if you want Gene you have to buy the set a cunning ploy cause you have to have Gene they rock and at between 13 and 15 quid its not bad 26 1 1998 Poundstretcher I was wondering around our local Poundstretcher today don t laugh I was bored and guess what was playing over their sound system Shout It Out Loud that s what I couldn t believe it of all the places to hear KISS it had to be in Poundstretcher What s next Lick It Up in Millets Is there no end to KISS popularity in the UK 2 1 1998 Gene s having a Disco Anybody bought a packet of KP Disco s recently If so then have you spotted a familiar face on the front of the packet I had to look twice to make sure that Gene hadn t spread his KISS marketing ideas over to British crisps Even the shape of Disco s have been changed to a star shape Have a look and see for yourself Updates New photos added to the Finsbury Park review

with other KISS goodies such as some info on the latest merchandising The interview isn t huge but it well worth getting hold of There s an interesting bit about Psycho Circus that says that the song Carnival Of Souls was recorded for the album Classic Rock quot We recorded 19 songs for Psycho Circus and used 10 Many that didn t make it were quite a bit heavier One of them was called Carnival Of Souls which would have been the title song from the last album but it was too heavy and a little too punky Another one I wrote for Ace called I wanna rule the world was very Mott The Hoople crossed with a bombastic John Bonham beat You British like the heavier stuff but we purposely left out a lot of the heavier ones because the record as it stands makes a much stronger musical statement quot Issue 2 is in the shops now priced 2 50 3 12 1998 KISS mention on Big Breakfast This morning on the Big Breakfast they had a KISS vital statistic It was If you stacked all of the Polaroid s of KISS Gene Simmons lovers between 1973 and 1980 together how high would the stack be The answer was 250 foot Carpet Monster then went on to play his guitar and do a Gene impression Incidentally did anyone notice last week when Carpet was talking about Dr Who he said quot I was in an episode once I was part of the Psycho Circus quot Just a coincidence I reckon we have another fan on our hands here Rumoured dates A few dates have sprung up for the tour thanks Peter but please note that this is just a rumour They are March 24th Birmingham NEC March 25th Wembley Arena 1 12 1998 Help get airplay on

the same newspaper format as Melody Maker The interview inside is possible the longest KISS interview I ve ever read all 23 pages of it The interview is spilt up into 4 parts with each member getting a fair share Questions are asked of the Psycho Circus tour amp album relationships with each other during the reunion encounters with famous KISS fans and a lot more questions that are actually interesting for once there s a lot more than the usual run of the mill stuff At last some answers are given to the questions Did Peter play on the entire Psycho Circus album and one that bugged me a couple of years ago Were the lead vocals on some tracks from YWTB YGTB re recorded I won t spoil it by giving you that answers There s also a million KISS adverts in the magazine it s well worth getting hold of a copy I picked up my copy for 2 80 from Borders bookshop on Oxford Street London Another girl band unmasked What s the world coming to Not only did Natalie Appleton of All Saints wear a Little Miss KISS T shirt at a recent gig but Lindsay from b witched is also a KISS fan She was recently heard saying Well I really love Kiss but Edele Keavy and Sinead always make fun of me when I want to play them Let s just hope that they don t try their hands at coving a KISS song Thanks to Alex Wargacki for the info 21 11 1998 We Are One Click on the pictures below for larger versions Psycho Circus 3D video At last I ve managed to get hold of the new CD single It took me bloody ages to find one though maybe Mercury have taken the Limited Edition thing a bit too far HMV on Oxford Street said they had some on order Virgin Megastore said they were completely sold out but have another load on order Tower Records had some of the enhanced cd s but couldn t get hold of the 3D videos and so on I eventually found one of the 3D video sets in HMV at Piccadilly and it was worth the wait Basically there are 2 versions of the single with the Psycho Circus video a boxed set with an actual video tape and an enhanced cd with the video on the cd itself The limited edition box set costs nearly 10 and contains We Are One box set Video tape with 3D Psycho Circus video and normal Psycho Circus video 3D Glasses We Are One picture cd Picture CD single with We Are One edit We Are One In Your Face new Ace song Psycho Circus audio no video on this cd The enhanced cd costs about 7 50 and contains We Are One enhanced cd We Are One edit We Are One Psycho Circus audio Psycho Circus video that plays when you put it in a pc but not 3D the same screen saver as per Psycho Circus album Personally I can t get the 3D effect to work very well but the non 3D version of the video is brilliant The advantage of the video version is that you don t have to be stuck at your computer to watch it but even so the quality on the enhanced cd is still very good nbsp It s nice to see that money has been spent on producing a decent KISS video at last this has got to be the best one in a long time

Wargacki a UK KISS fan was lucky enough to fly to LA for the show last weekend lucky git and if that wasn t good enough he actually got to meet Gene backstage As you can see Gene had some interesting things to say for UK fans quot Gene got backstage earlier than the rest of the band to do some interviews and radio bytes After he had finished up with his scheduled interviews I managed to talk to him for about 5 minutes He was surprised to see such a young person me among all these burnt out corporate ass kissers as he put it in the typical gene serious jovial manner and was interested in the UK music industry as it stands at the moment He mentioned the strong possibility of the band doing some UK TV toward the end of November to promote the Kiss genesis as he puts it Gene gave me the impression that he really wants some injection of youth into the Kiss fan base and really expressed his disgust at boy girl bands amp general junk degrading what is left of the music industry He also mentioned how Robbie Williams completely ripped Kiss off without consultation thanks or credit with his Let me entertain you video his words were I consider it a personal slap in the face when a no talent reject from a boy band decides to imitate an entity he could never understand quot 1 11 1998 Psycho Circus Tour LA show mini review A small review of the Dodgers Stadium show that was

flame Gene God Of Thunder Simmons who has thoughtfully rolled her a red carpet from his cakehole No wonder KISS received a standing ovation from a crowd previously bored into catatonia quot Talking of the AMA s I ve received this from Martin Curtis quot I caught the very end of Entertainment news on Living on cable yesterday I think it was at the US Music awards but it was with English commentary

Thanks to everyone that told me about this a quick clip of the KISS giving Will Smith his AMA was featured on the 8 O clock news on the BB this morning I must have turned away from the TV for about 2 minutes and I bloody missed it I really hope that KISS get themselves on the show when they come over here in March it s the only mainstream show that ever seems to mention them They had Deep Purple playing in the garden a couple of months ago it d be cool if they d do something similar for KISS I heard a rumour from an official source about a possible TFI appearance a little while ago however I ve also heard that KISS management had a row with Ginger over the crappy questions that Evans wanted to ask Gene how long is your tongue etc I just hope Robbie Williams isn t on the show that week 12

Psycho Circus tracks along with 3 classic ones will only be packaged with a special edition of the album which means we ll probably be looking at around 15 Getting fed up of special editions You re not the only one American Music Awards Last night KISS presented an award on the AMA s they gave the Best Pop Rock Album award to Will Smith Apparently they received an excellent reception from the crowd and even got a standing ovation Will Smith also took a good look at Gene s cod piece and messed around with the guys I haven t found any channel that s going to be showing them over here

page 4 1 1999 KISS in 2000 Before you read this bear in mind that this could well be complete BS it s been reported at the KISS Asylum that Gene has said in a recent radio interview that KISS are planning a Seven Wonders Of The World tour for the year 2000 It may sound a bit far fetched but I also heard a few weeks ago that a tour was being planned that would have dates at various landmarks around the world including Stonehenge I just passed it off as complete crap but now that Gene has mentioned something along those lines maybe it is in the works after all 1 1 1999 Happy New Year Just

the site In her own words quot I have written an article looking in depth at Gene Simmons and why we like him well why I like him too It is primarily for a US mag and I wanted to write something different to the usual look at KISS which has all been said before quot lt lt Click here to read Ally s Gene article gt gt Revenge of the Lip Synching Was anyone else mad enough to stay up most of Friday night to catch the live KISS performance If you missed it then then Pixelon will be archiving the event soon check out their site for more details Here s a couple of reports from people that were actually at the event in Vegas The first is from Scott Blacksher quot I attended the iBash 99 in person My very first concert was Kiss back in 1976 and it was a fantastic show Well my first concert memory has now been torn asunder When Kiss finally took the stage around 2 hours after they were original scheduled the entire show was lip synched and air guitar played quot Make of it what you will I thought it was cool but why the hell they had to lip synch again is beyond me I have also heard a report from Sam who got to meet Gene amp Paul in the MGM after the gig This report was a bit more positive quot My friend and I flew to Vegas w o tickets to the private party show but figured we would make it in we arrived at the MGM and went to the area where the artists come out at 5 45ish they came out w o makeup costumes they were getting into the van which drives them the 500 yards to their trailer area they were with Tommy Thayer and security there was only 4 of us so we approached we had various old mounted photos and a Paul Phantom poster Gene was very polite but said they were extremely late for their show and had to go Paul liked the phantom poster he was wearing a Phantom denim jacket and Peter smiled I didn t even notice Ace in all the activity off they went and now off we went We made it into the show Pixelon had all the free alcohol food t shirts etc you wanted We walked right up the to 2nd row it was all people in suits except for the fans in the front rows Kiss came on w o much fanfare and played their 4 song set its strange that they do this because they are playing to a new recording which sounds great they looked good and the show had tons of pyro confetti which blew back at them temporarily blinding Ace I caught an Ace pick on the fly and a Paul pick on the ground amid the shuffle missed a 3rd by inches some guy s foot the guy in front of me caught Peter s stick that his tech threw 2 lucky folks got Paul s guitar pieces I took lots

KISS are only in it for 3 minutes excuse to get my mates to go everyone thought it was great though It s a shame that the concert scene has been butchered too much but apart from that it s well worth seeing fire breathing blood spitting amp smokin guitar all in 3 minutes there s even a view of Gene s tongue from inside his mouth Those of you that are suckers for detail will notice one or two minor details but apart from that it s well worth seeing Union hit Europe Union will be the guests of 5 European KISS Expos to take place before the year is out in Norway and Sweden pop along to KISS Army

done a short review of DRC a few clips were shown the bit where the tickets are burnt but not a great deal was said It wasn t slagged off or anything although Ross was a bit sarcastic towards KISS but

other day amp one of the trailers beforehand was DRC It was a very different one to the one that played with Austin Powers2 focusing on the more gross parts of the film being sick girls farting etc Obviously trying to catch the younger teenie crowd No mention of KISS apart nbsp from the background posters etc and on the credits Hope this helps getting a few bums on seats as it were From Jason Pawlin Yeah last night Wednesday 13th my girlfriend said that there was an advert on S4C ie Channel 4 for the release of the movie Only showed a small clip of the film a toilet scene apparently with no KISS references as such She can t remember what time it was on but it could have been during Ally McBeal Secondly KISS featured prominently on last Sunday s cover of the business section of The Observer Now I m not a regular reader of the business section but there was a large live piccie of Gene 96 97 that caught my attention There appeared to be no reason at all in this apart from the fact that the story was about an American company who has bought the rights to hold music events at Castle Donington which the paper reminds us KISS headlined in 1996 So a bit of a non story but a nice Sunday morning surprise nonetheless nbsp 13 10 99 Halloween Gig As previously thought the KISS Halloween gig in Vegas will be taking place at the MGM Grand biggest hotel in the world Exact details are

was true that he once sniffed Gene Simmons cod piece He said it wasn t but he did think that Gene was going to sue him for using the make up in the LMEY video and he mentioned the Strong lyrics too He said there was one time that him and his mate were staying in a hotel in LA they were walking back from the restaurant and right in front of them were all four members of KISS in full make up He said he grabbed his mates hand and tried to make a run for it but it was too late cause Gene had spotted him Gene growled Robbie Williams to make him stop and shouted him over Robbie said they all looked 7ft tall and he was crapping himself he said he asked Gene if he was going to sue him but Gene turned round and said No we love you and they all lived happily ever after yeah okay Robbie Well that s

the Undertaker is 50 50 on retiring right now He basically said UT is really banged up as has been reported and that it s starting to take its toll on him He also talked about not being used by WCW

that costumes and equipment have been sought and they should be ready to begin playing around Jan Feb With their arrival the profile of KISS would surface in Northern Ireland There is a great fan base

it fell through that is if you haven t heard the story Gene wanted to go on the show with a picture of Robbie Williams on his codpiece Amabel Thornton E mailed me this and I have to admit that was thinking the same thing when I seen it who knows though it may just be a bad coincidence quot Right at the start of the show Chris Evans announced that they were going to hold the quot 101st Annual People Who Were on the Show Awards quot and that he would be wearing a colourful codpiece whilst presenting each of the awards I may just be being paranoid but this seems to have been some sort of message to KISS along the lines of quot Up yours KISS You aren t on the show because of your ideas about codpieces quot So there we go KISS may have inadvertently got a mention on British TV after all even if it was rather snide and childish quot 27 3 99 More Wembley Pics There s a few new pics from Wembley added to the Wembley review including Peter s flying drums amp Gene flying and some more on

the hip and lay waste to Brit hero Robbie and a few other cronies who keep bashing Kiss Gene was throwing around ideas regarding being interviewed while having a picture of Robbie on his crotch during the dialogue Apparently Ginger didn t want to risk some kind of incident which would create a rift between some of their regulars and TFI Friday if they let Gene have an open forum KISS Catalogue I

featured in another mag this month the latest issue of net magazine features a small mention with a little pic of the site They re not exactly KISS friendly though You can t fault the amount of effort

appear in PC Format which is pretty good news PC Format is the top PC mag in the UK New Song A few people have written to ask where I heard the new KISS song and whether it was the small clip on KISS Online It was the full version of the song but I can t really say any more than that Unfortunately there is no solo in the song which is a great shame and so far there have been very mixed feelings about it on Usenet anyway New server for KISSin UK KISSin UK may be temporarily unavailable over the few days but I ll try my best to make sure it s not for long We re moving to a new server but we ll

impressed It s a power ballad sung by Paul and written by Paul amp Diane Warren and will be available soon on the Detroit Rock City soundtrack Paul s vocals are excellent on the song although there isn t really any strong evidence of anyone else from KISS I m not saying they didn t play on it it s just that they don t stand out Think of it as a cross between Every Time I Look At You and a typical Aerosmith ballad if that sounds like your kind of thing then you ll love it I did Also the KISS version of Detroit Rock City on the soundtrack is not going to be the new recorded version as was first suggested the only way you ll hear that one is by watching the film itself The version on the soundtrack is the original one from Destroyer Prophecy in the UK If you are interested in obtaining Prophecy direct from the UK please E mail me and let me know I will be making them available from the site and need to know what kind on number to order in 12 7 99 Prophecy Press Release amp

well we ll have to make do with MTV s version From Deno ClownWhite The rumoured Kiss Unplugged at The Cavern is something that has been blown out of all proportion This is the story I was trying to come up with an interesting photo shoot to try and tempt Kiss into for inclusion in ClownWhite when they next come over As Gene and Paul are both Beatles fans I thought quot hey what about a shoot at The Cavern quot So I got in touch with Bill Heckle at Cavern City Tours and mentioned the idea to him He then told me about Beatles Week end of August and asked me if Kiss would be interested in taking part So I spoke to Steve Browning from Excess Press who handles Kiss s Press in this country I told him about the idea and he asked me to fax through a press release that he would forward to the bands management He told me not to get my hopes up and that they would probably be too busy Anyway he faxed it to them and when I last spoke to him a few weeks ago he said he hadn t heard anything ahh well it was worth a shot Maybe this rumour which Kiss will no doubt now hear about will make them think about it for REAL I doubt it but stranger things have happened Ace NOT At Glastonbury The official word is that Ace was in New York during the festival So who was the arse pretending to be an ex KISS guitarist then 7 7 99 First news on ClownWhite II From Gez Cummings I was lucky enough to see a sneak preview of CLOWNWHITE 2 yesterday It s still in the early stages of development but the features I saw Paul as Phantom and the Kenny Kerner interview part 2 were TOTALLY STUNNING Issue 1 was really cool but this next instalment simply blows it away Honestly this has got to be the best Kiss Magazine I ve ever seen official or unofficial If you were unlucky enough not to see the first

Week festival held annually in Liverpool several well known rock acts will be taking part One of those mentioned is none other than KISS who are toying with the idea of playing an unplugged set at the

The upcoming KISS related movie Detroit Rock City is slated to be getting a UK release on October 22nd Good news for everyone that thought that we d be skipped over like we usually are I ve read a few

muchmusic com and it was a cool behind the scenes look at the movie the actors and the production We also saw some live footage of the band performing in Toronto for inclusion in the film as well as some scenes of the Millennium shoot from last fall here in Vancouver There were lots of fan testimonials and the usual spin from the band Also featured were some interviews with the actors DRC director Adam Rifkin producer Barry Levine KISS manager Doc McGhee Shannon Tweed and the band Shannon Tweed looking stunning as always describes the KISS phenomenon as something she never understood Lots of fans used as extras show off their outfits makeup and tattoos Paul likens the film to a cross between The Wizard of Oz and Fast Times At Ridgemont High Gene revealed that initially 2 productions were in the works one involving the band who wanted to do a motion picture and another by a separate group of people who wanted to do a TV movie of the week When both were conflicting they decided to join forces and make the film Both Gene and Rifkin are quoted as saying that everyone involved in making the nbsp movie are KISS fans and it is a movie about the fans for the fans by the fans Producer Barry Levine wouldn t divulge much other than the basic plot that we already know but he did say the final scene will be the band performing Detroit Rock City live Levine the photographer behind The KISS Years book and collaborator with the band since 1976 reveals his relationship with the band over the years He also mentions that he and the band had been trying for 10 years to get a KISS film off the ground He said that the band s original idea was something of a sci fi adventure film but he found the script for the DRC movie and presented it to Gene back in 96 during the Reunion Tour After the tour was finished some re writes were done and the film was born Overall this was an interesting half hour that gave some insight into the making of Detroit Rock City

Firstly before I say anymore please note that NONE OF THIS IS CONFIRMED but things are certainly starting to look up for a European tour I have heard the following news bits from a very good source very close to the band The US tour is going so well that it looks likely that the it will indeed make it over to Europe Both ticket sales and merchandising are going through the roof which may have swayed the decision but nothing is confirmed I ve been told that they are booked in the US until late July August so if it does happen it will probably be later in the year Ace is in great shape and has lost 3 stone since the last tour He says that this is down to his latest interest Yoga It has been mentioned that Gene getting stuck on his cables in Anaheim was because of a bet Not sure how true this is but the news has come from high up At Anaheim someone made a great leap from the sets and made the edge of the stage The security eventually pull him down only feet away from Ace but it took four of them to ground him 25 different T shirts are available on this tour is this a record even for KISS The ticket sales are going so well that the fans are getting a little out of control at the shows I don t know whether you have heard about the fan that died at Oakland but the was another accident at Reno when a fan fell and it seems that he has either broken his neck or has spinal injuries The paramedics were at the scene an hour before they left the show for the hospital they have not heard how he is yet Obviously we wish him all the best Apparently the Pepsi commercial went down a storm in the US last night it was shown during the Oscars In fact at www pepsi com the votes for the advert have KISS way in the lead with 78 of the total You can also watch the advert at the same

facilities nbsp 20th May 2000 Auction book review Okay the first thing I ve got to say about this book is BUY IT I don t know how long it s gonna be available for so get it while you can This book is both incredibly cool and incredibly saddening at the same time KISS really are getting rid of everything There are costumes from many tours guitars amps clothing lots from 80 s handwritten lyrics original artwork for album covers drum kits gold records Gene s fake blood and some stuff that should have never have made it into the auction It seems that Mr Simmons is intent on clearing his house of anything KISS related there is even an xmas card from Paul Stanley in there All eras from KISS are covered including clothing amp instruments from most tours even Eric Carrs original Hawk costume that was never used is there in fact everything that was on show at the official KISS conventions is too The saddening part of this is when you think how cool it would be to see all this at a convention or in rock museums where they should be It s a shame to think that the whole lot is about to be split up all over the world most of it never to be in the public eye again The book is well worth buying around 180 ish full colour pages definitely gets pride of place next to KISStory in my collection It s available in either softback or hardback both can be signed at a price The standard softback edition that I have c ost 50 including shipping to the UK took about 2 weeks to get here Estimates start at a couple of hundred dollars and go up to phenomenal amounts 125 000 for a set of Love Gun costumes and mannequins anyone If anyone wants to get me that gorgeous Eric Carr drum kit without doubt one of my favourite items in the auction it s only estimated at 5000 10000 and Gene s lovely zippable leather thong see picture is only estimated to go for 500 like I said some stuff should not be here Ok who will be bidding for this then The auction is split into 2 lots bidding starts

and I think I owe it to a few people the main reason for finishing the magazine is pretty simple CASH OK I know it s been hard commitment wise keeping to a quarterly schedule is tough especially when most fans want you to do it more often but I really believed I could put up with that My part time job at x records by the way has helped keep me afloat while trying my best to realise the dream And my dream is not one based on money but simply to not have to struggle so much and be able to work for myself I loved doing this for the most part and the fact that it was about KISS was always gonna mean that the magazine looked good So to decide I was going to call it a day was not an easy decision but I just had to do it When you re friends with the firm printing your product it gets embarrassing to keep delaying them the money you owe And it wasn t that I didn t have the money either I too had to wait patiently for the revenue from copy sales to come in CLOWN WHITE took virtually nothing from advertising Starting out with no capital to invest in fact I was overdrawn at the bank when I began finally caught up with me and I really didn t want that to happen I thought it would grow quicker than it did sales are approx 4 000 now but I didn t have the reserves to advertise myself or to increase the size of the magazine making it a more viable publication to would be distributors So now you know and I aint bullshitting you For all those who ve helped along the way and there have been plenty and for all the fans who bought the magazine I ve attached a story that was going to appear in issue 6 Kindly written by Tod Howarth this was going to be part of a new feature called ROCK STARS IN THEIR OWN WORDS It s too good not to see the light of day and for all those

release 1 Paul Stanley required From Steve Doherty Official Kizz press release Hi all this is steve ace from KIZZ First off i want to thank everyone for all their interest in kizz and for all the emails from people expressing their interest and best wishes it has been greatly appreciated by all the band Over the last 2 years kizz have worked tirelessly to build the band up to the level of success we are enjoying at the moment It has taken the efforts of not only the band but a large crew to make the shows and media appearances work It has always been the ambition of the band to do this for the fans and to put the money earned from gigs back into the show to make it bigger and better and for 2 years this is what we have done We have recently been experiencing major problems with the band and feel we owe an explanation to everyone who has supported us and helped us The last gig in belfast in dec 25th was the biggest show we had ever done and the reception we received from the capacity crowd was simply unbelievable and we all looked forward to 2001 knowing it would be a big year for the band However the band received news shortly after new year that would turn everything on its ear It turned out that our singer had formed an alliance with a promoter the band had dealings with and the band were to be replaced The promoter and our old singer had set this up and it had all been worked out long before our last gig To make matters worse neither our singer or the promoter felt the need to tell the band and we had to find out through a mutual friend The band had tried to contact both the singer and promoter before and after the new year but couldn t get through now we know why The band are gutted as all of us broke our backs for 2 years to make kizz the success it is and did it for the right reasons The reason for all this is simple MONEY now that the name of the band is successful it can be used to generate income for the promoter and our old singer can now have full control over the band and make money The promoter and ex singer have put a new band together under the name of quot kizz quot and are currently looking for a new drummer We want to tell everyone that this band is not quot kizz quot and will not bear any resemblance to the real thing The real kizz are currently recruiting a new paul stanley and will be back bigger and better than ever We do not believe it is fair that people go along expecting to see kizz and instead get a poor imitation and we are not prepared to let anyone rob us of 2 years hard work Alot of people are upset and very hurt at what has happened and we owe it to them not to let kizz fall apart Our crew is still with us as well as all our props costumes stage gear and original band members We like i said are auditioning at the moment for the paul stanley position and hope to be back out soon giving it 100 for all the kiss fans If you are interested in getting involved with the band or would like to try out for the position you can email me at stevedoherty excite com or s dohertyy yahoo com nbsp On behalf of quot kizz quot thankyou to everyone including Paul Finn for helping us and supporting us and

Tuesday 27th Eric Carr was added Thursday 29th Ace Frehley was added Friday 30th the Peter Criss and the outline of Eric Singer was done Monday 2nd Paul and the outline of Bruce was added Thursday 4rth the colour was added to both Eric S and Bruce K The KISS logo was added on Wednesday the 11th and the final part being the blood from Gene s tongue onto the KISS logo was added on Good Friday 13th Click on the pic to enlarge A total of 9 hours was spent on this tattoo and it s a combination of two drawings I especially commissioned by my friends Lyn Hughes Evans and Nest Llwyd Owen The tattoo parlour was West Coast tattoo run by Gordon in Aberystwyth I have many other tattoos but I feel this is the best because I have really thought about it have asked the two artists to change aspects I did not like and also have argued and discussed with Gordon on how would the tattoo look etc our main contention was whether to have the white face makeup on or not after a long heated discussion I went with Gordon anyway I can always add this on later nbsp Friends and KISS fans have asked why not Mark St John I made the decision to draw the line at six months being a member in KISS I could have had Bob Kulick Anton Fig the various keyboard players Crazy Nights Hot in the Shade and Revenge as well as Mark Norton nbsp The actual tattoo was not too painful OK the outline does hurt but the Paul Stanley one did hurt like hell the location being on the spine and on the connecting tissue to the hip Instead of screaming or crying I was laughing I have left spaces above and below the KISS sign for two reasons Firstly the original idea was to have 1973 and 2001 tattooed above and below the KISS logo as featured on the faces farewell tour shirts but knowing my luck the band would announce dates in 2002 a la Offspring track Pretty Fly for a white boy Secondly I have seen some cool tattoos signed by the various members of the band and so If I ever meet the band either on the 2001 European leg or the final New York show I will ask Gene and Paul to sign the inside and then ask the other members to sign around their faces Unfortunately I will never have the pleasure of asking Eric Carr to sign my back but I will not NOT copy one of my two Eric signatures I have from the UK Crazy Nights tour of September 1988 Disclaimer I have thought for a long time about a KISS tattoo all my others are reflections of my personality ie my birthplace my outgoing persona my faith etc A tattoo is permanent and is forever cue the lighters I have seen some really cool tats over the years of the boys and I respect those people I have been in two minds whether to get a KISS tattoo for over 15 years now one problem would be the thought of me being 50 odd years old and not liking it Hope you enjoy the tattoo and if you ever see this back at a KISS concert please come up and say hello nbsp Aussie reviews Terri Bey a huge Ace fan that has submitted a lot of stuff to the

read it has given me a review to post here From Curveboy aol com Gene Simmons autobiography KISS and Make Up like most things KISS over the last 10 years just slightly misses the mark Does he dish dirt Yeah but is it the right dirt Several times I lifted my eyes from the pages in disgust The man is a pig His views on women are a step above third world Though he does have some interesting things to say on the nature of relationships later in the book the first half is less titillating and more disturbing When he finally gets to the real interesting stuff the KISS back story he gives us some but not enough Gene Simmons is a rock legend We know this he tells us so over and over again in case you forget He spends a good 1 4 of the book raging on Peter and another 1 4 raging on Ace This is good stuff It goes a long way towards explaining how Gene and Paul were KISS But there are items he never quite gets to His romances with Cher Diana Ross and Shannon Tweed are all well detailed yet we never really hear what he thinks about Paul Stanley personally or professionally Here is arguably the third biggest rock duo of all time behind Lennon McCartney and Jagger Richards and he never gets to why they ve worked so well for almost 30 years He also breezes though the Vinnie Vincent years which given all the high s and lows that came with it should have made for several pages of good reading and not just the few paragraphs that made it in He gets a few things wrong too She was never and will never be on the Hotter Than Hell album He talks about writing with Bob Dylan for the Psycho Circus album and while this may have happened he actually wrote with Bob around the Revenge album As it turns out the average KISS fan may have a better grasp on KISStory than one of the

much is never enough There have been no shortage of Kiss greatest hits discs over the years but that s not stopping them from issuing yet another The Very Best of Kiss on August 27 Unlike some past best of discs which have featured either the band s early material or their less praised 80s fare but rarely both the new record chronicles the band s entire career from early singles like quot Strutter quot and quot Deuce quot to quot Lick It Up quot and quot God Gave Rock n Roll to You II quot Chances are there will be even more greatest hits records to come because Kiss will probably be making music and touring until Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are buried in their Kiss Kaskets see quot Kiss Kick It In Style Komplete With Kaskets quot They re in talks with labels about releasing a new Kiss record and they recently recorded a version of quot Rock N Roll Radio quot for an upcoming Ramones cover album see quot Kiss Garbage Join Rob Zombie s Ramones Tribute LP quot quot I frequently run into Johnny Ramone and about a month ago he told me about the Ramones tribute album and asked if we would participate quot Stanley explained on Kiss Web site quot I can remember our club days and seeing Joey Ramone standing a head above everyone else Gene Eric Singer and I recorded a track called Rock N Roll Radio We used a big saxophone section done by Scott Paige who tours with Pink Floyd and Derek Sherinian on piano Gene and I trade off vocals and I have to say this is as cool and kick ass as it gets quot Of course when there are record releases tours aren t usually far behind Regardless of prior claims that their last go round would be their farewell tour see quot Kiss Announce Farewell Tour quot Kiss plan to hit the road again in 2003 quot People change their minds and in this case that goes along with being a living thinking person quot Stanley wrote quot What one says one day with total commitment may at another time turn out not to be so Am I doing this for the money or the fans Both and let s not forget I m doing this for me That is the reason I originally started playing because I wanted to and only I can decide ultimately when to stop As you know

with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on February 28 at Telstra Dome At a media conference to announce the event Paul Stanley Gene Simmons and Peter Criss confirmed the event as a one off for the world after members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performed orchestrated versions of Rock and Roll All Nite and I Was Made For Loving You for the gathered throng The show is expected to include the original Kiss line up and while Peter Criss made the trip to talk up the show Ace Frehley was nowhere to be seen Ace isn t here said Paul Stanley We are hoping he will be here at this spectacular concert As you know we are here to announce that on February 28 we will unleash a Symphonic Sonic Boom the likes of which the world has never heard before We will be playing with the Melbourne Symphony or they will be playing with is And as rumour would have it we are expecting Mozart and Beethoven to rise from the dead and dance with us Gene Simmons had a fairly convincing argument for the return of the band after their 2000 Farewell Tour Once upon a time I was a 12 year old boy and promised I would pull out he said to a round of applause from the audience This is going to be one special event We are here because we have heard so much about the Melbourne Symphony The best of the best deserves the best Melbourne has always been wonderful to us these last 30 years We probably have a few children running around The least we can do is come back and embrace you all Paul says the show will be done in parts What we are going to do is a concert in three parts You will see a lot of violins and to a lot of violence he said The plan as we see it now is we will start off with a Kiss show as you expect it with a lot of great tunes Then we will go for an unplugged segment playing some tunes taking it down a bit bringing out a quartet or a quintet After that we will take a little break and then everyone can put their seatbelts on and the onslaught will begin Their will be lobotomies for all The announcement is particularly pleasing for Kiss fans as it includes the return of Peter Criss who didn t quite make end of the last Kiss tour due to his on going battle with drugs I couldn t resist this This is really cool Peter said The cat man had to come back Gene continued If you remember cats have nine lives and Peter still has a few left For fans who can t afford the trip to Australia on Feb 28 to see the show it will be on pay per view That is the idea says Paul Stanley That is the idea to make it available for everybody Obviously to see it in the flesh will be the ultimate and to see it in pay per view will be incredible Everybody will want some sort of memento of this momentous occasion so we will try and make as many formats of this available Kiss

stories and photos soon quot It could be in his genes but meeting Gene Simmons proves he is indeed unabashed and unapologetic about anything and everything quot FACING your demons quot is a phrase we use to describe our confrontation with those things that haunt us Last week I faced my own demon Gene Simmons pictured with yours truly the demon from rock group Kiss Debating Simmons can be a roller coaster ride He is outspoken on many issues including business marriage and the way men and women tick So outspoken that he is difficult to argue with Simmons returns to Melbourne this week for a speaking tour called Speaking in Tongues organised by Madison But last week during a promotional whistlestop I had a chance to get into the mind of this man who has sold 80 million records helped create a merchandising empire that has turned over 1 billion and whose autobiography is a bestseller Simmons interesting and charismatic has spoken to 11 000 at the University of Miami and to the gentlemen of the New York Stock Exchange This from a man we have seen in demon make up spewing fire and pounding his bass on stage Today Simmons has his own magazine book imprint and audio and fashion companies He is happily unmarried to actor Shannon Tweed with two children Sophie 10 and Nicholas 13 He is the only child of Florence a Nazi concentration camp survivor Before finding fame as a rock n roller he was a schoolteacher and studied to become a rabbi We went head to head while not much lunch was eaten ANN PEACOCK Why do people want to listen to you talk about you GENE SIMMONS People lead a paint by numbers lifestyle They wind up doing things that they then have to pay the price for at the expense of their happiness because their decisions for themselves are based upon what others want whether it s marriage or political I am unabashed and unapologetic about anything and everything AP Who taught you to be like that GS Nobody Being of Jewish loins and being an only child helps You don t spend too much time with anybody else and when you make a decision it is for yourself My happiness shouldn t be a decision by committee and I urge everyone to take note that selfish is not a bad word Take a cue from the airlines If God forbid something happens 30 000 feet up in the air they tell you to place the oxygen mask on your face first In other words Be selfish AP As a father how can you be so selfish especially regarding a child s safety GS It s the only way I have to make decisions about travelling the world and working If I don t take care of myself I won t be able to help my child Trying to stay alive is a selfish notion but I do it for my children First you have to do it for you Take money Make lots of money we are taught that this is bad but it is good More is a good word England and America are remnants of the puritan ethic where you are taught that love is the most powerful instrument in the world That s a lie It s a fantasy AP Selfishness is more important than love GS Initially yes Money is the currency of love You re standing on a street corner and the bus arrives the doors open and you say to the bus driver I have no money but I love you Can I get on the bus You are not going to get on the bus One thing will get you on the bus cash Cash is the currency that makes all things possible Love buys you nothing unless you are a woman You can parlay love into cash Men by and large can t That s a woman s most powerful weapon that we crave you and are willing to do anything such as build cities around you just to have your love It doesn t work the other way AP What are your views on marriage GS I m not familiar with the term It doesn t work if you get married The statistics tell you that in a few years you get divorced For men that will be the worst thing that ever happened Apart from no longer having happiness he is going to pay someone he has just met as a grown up 50 per cent of his gross pre tax dollars more than the government takes in taxes in your system here In return by the way the government will give you police military and infrastructure for your taxes She your wife will share your bed if she feels like it Who invented this system The devil The mother who gave me birth is getting nothing and this person I just met is supposed to take half AP What are your principles regarding a work ethic GS Always work You have enough time to rest when you are six feet under I am writing a new book called Buy This Vol 1 and people may find many notions in there bizarre But what I find bizarre is that someone 20 years old wants to have a vacation Or not work seven days a week It s the people who work hard who are identified as the players you want on your team AP You have two children What advice do you give them GS They get different advice but they both get the truth I tell my daughter to stop playing Barbie dolls That cuddling nurturing instinct happens naturally Instead learn languages learn computers because you are not as my daughter going to define yourself by a man AP What do you think of successful women GS I prefer it I want the world to be predominantly run by women quot nbsp 16th November 2002 Eric Singer Eric

new one from 78 and one that was done for COS but didn t get included Don t remember the titles unfortunately but he only played snippets from each song The newest one he played really kicked ass though At one time during the Q amp A one of the organisers said OK Gene time for one last question and he said Oh no it s not the last question in a nice way and he just kept answering questions Very cool He was going around to everyone who had a question and talking to them face to face At one point he stopped right next to my seat as I was on the aisle the thing I noticed about him is he has this presence it s like he s a different kind of human or something The thing that amazed me was how fucking stupid and awkward some of these questions were Shit like Will you be the manager of my band or I ll be in the front row in February or You should release Melbourne 1980 on video Even one chick who tried for almost 10 minutes to convince Gene that he was wrong about love not being the most important thing in life The rest of the audience was growing restless with her big time but he handled it very well The Q amp A started out really good but then went pretty much downhill from there not because of Gene at all but because of these people There were about 4 cameras there videoing the event 3 on tripods and one which a guy was using by going around thru the crowd He also mentioned that it would be released on video but no details about it He didn t say anything about a 30th anniversary tour or studio album but he did say that Alive 4 would be next year He also mentioned something about the band breaking away from Universal Another thing he mentioned was when he was asked whether Ace and Peter are confirmed for Melbourne he said Peter is confirmed because he signed for it but that he can t speak for Ace at this point He calls Ace every week and says that he really wants him to do it and actually begs him tells him the fans really want him there also but so far he just doesn t know what s going to happen Also he brought up a time when Ace was being like this about some previous event but I can t remember which one that in the end Ace agreed to do it but only once they agreed to buy Ace s guitar a seat on the plane as well as Ace himself He was basically pushing to see what he could get For the Jamaica gig they were literally offered millions to play for just one hour and for whatever reason Ace simply refused to do it It was put on by some bankers I think Russian not 100 on that who s fave band was Kiss There were all these girls there and only a few guys Offered millions and Ace wouldn t do it There s only so much the band can do I hope he does it I got him to sign a picture which was the back page of a magazine that came out about 1 or 2 years ago It s an advertisement for his Axe Bass and shows him in his creatures costume playing it Glad I went got his autograph had a bit of a chit chat with him it started at 8 30 and I got out of there about 1 20 am He promised that he would sign something for every single person there I was closer to the front of the line he must have been there at least another 2 hours signing He was very

April of next year but this appears to be very very unlikely as the band seems to be planning a USA Tour for April May 2003 According to one of our sources the band wants the tour to kick off in the first week of April so it s impossible to play in Europe then The European rumor was caused by a vague report in Belgian media about a motor race festival in some bad area of Belgium where supposedly the real KISS would be playing at a 4 000 seat venue which obviously is very unlikely as we can all imagine KISS will play a much bigger venue on their last Belgian date with tickets reportedly only

ever hosted in my near 20 years of radio In the same show we had live call ins from Paul Stanley Ace Frehley Bruce Kulick amp Eric Singer Then to top it all off Peter Criss came into the studio and hung out for his birthday and took calls from the listeners Needless to say our lines were jammed all night as Saturday Night Rocks became the center of the Kiss universe for four plus hours Peter couldn t have been cooler and signed for the fans gathered outside the building We ll have some photos of Peter in our studio on the site very soon To try and get into everything that was said by everybody would be far to lengthy here As a lifelong Kiss fan and supporter this show was something I couldn t have dreamed of as a kid Peter said it was one of the best times he s ever had and Paul said that the importance of being a part of my annual Kissfest was not lost on him I am still shocked at how huge this show was and the internet is already buzzing with what took place last night VERY

want to miss any of this show On the US east coast it will air 9A 1P please see how that translates for your time zone Also this show will rerun as our syndicated show next week as well in cities where we are heard outside NYC Nothing more can really be said the guest list speaks for itself and I had a blast My sincere thanks to Paul Ace Peter Bruce amp Eric for making it possible Whatever your thoughts are about all these guys and the Kiss situation the bottom line is they took time out around the holidays to make for another historic radio show and it wouldn t have been half as cool without them and they did it to talk to us the fans and give their perspectives Don t miss the replay it s one for the ages I have no idea how I can top this one next year Tons of emails flooding in

on stage in full KISS make up AP Photo David Callow From Hearld Sun Photo Yahoo News ON paper the Kiss Symphony looked potentially disastrous How would Kiss s bombastic party rock work with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as their very large backing band Would the 60 piece orchestra get lost in the mix or would Kiss mellow and turn out slightly feral chamber music The answer neither The Kiss Symphony was simply Kiss turned up to 11 classics with class While Kiss have always strived for bigger and better with their stage show it s hard to imagine them topping the sheer jaw dropping ear bleeding eye burning spectacle of last night s Kiss Symphony It started simply enough the four members banging out back to basics Kiss classics Deuce Strutter and Calling Dr Love among them An acoustic set followed with a handful of orchestra members helping to breathe life into 20 year old favourites including Shandi and Sure Know Something Drummer Peter Criss even got to perform his signature ballad Beth with strings attached Then came the thunder Kiss with the full orchestra all wearing Kiss make up between them and two speaker stacks taller than the average house Musical arranger David Campbell was the real hero of the day orchestrating Kiss hits with the mandatory aggression testosterone and drama making the MSO rock quite literally The symphonic punch sent Kiss standards Detroit Rock City Shout it Out Loud I Was Made for Lovin You God of Thunder Love Gun Black Diamond and Rock and Roll all Nite into a new league one that somehow suited them at this point in their 30 year career quot This is our kind of classical music quot singer Paul Stanley remarked at rehearsals the night before At one point the band were so engrossed in the MSO they seemed reluctant to join in Naturally being Kiss there were enough pyrotechnics for a million New Year s Eves and for rabid fans reliving their youth Guitarist Tommy Thayer may not have been Ace Frehley but the

until they walk off and the aim is to guess how long it will be before the celebrity leaves When asked what he was up to Gene talked about KISS as a band and about some merchandise including the KISS Kondoms which he had a pack of to hand He eventually left after 58 seconds The show is usually repeated so check listings for E4 or Channel 4 where it should run before too long The listing will

2003 Paul Stanley Solo Album From Billboard via Mike Coles From Billboard com Wes Orshoski N Y Kiss co frontman Paul Stanley is working on his first solo album in 25 years the artist reveals to Billboard com As previously reported Kiss vocalist bassist Gene Simmons is also working on a solo project Stanley says he s working with a crop of songwriters that includes Andreas Carlsson who has written songs with or for the likes of Celine Dion Bon Jovi Backstreet Boys LeAnn Rimes Britney Spears and N Sync He s a great writer and actually a big Kiss fan Stanley says adding that he ll start really focusing on the project after Kiss upcoming co headlining tour with Aerosmith It s in the process of being shaped Fans shouldn t expect any unused Kiss relics to surface on the project which should be issued next year I m a big believer that if a song doesn t make it on an album there s a reason Stanley says and to dig up something that s been sitting around for 10 or 15 years doesn t seem worth it because at some point sure it can see the light of day just by default And that s not enough reason I believe if something nbsp gets rejected time and time again it probably doesn t belong on an album he continues I also like to think that a song is like a fresh issue of a magazine or a newspaper Ya know the ink is still wet because it s current Recycling old stuff to me is not of any interest because as life goes on there are new experiences to draw nbsp from Stanley and Simmons haven t issued solo sets since each original member of Kiss simultaneously released such a project in 1978 Simmons recently told Billboard com his album will feature songs co written by Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa He s also courting the likes of Axl Rose Phish s Trey Anastasio and John Mellencamp for guest turns Stanley also offered new details about the Kiss Aerosmith tour which is expanding It will start in amphitheaters and then move into arenas and will likely visit some major markets more than once It looks like it s gonna keep extending and rightfully so Stanley says It s an exciting bill and people not only in America but in Australia Japan and other countries are very interested in it It s a fun exciting package that the people really didn t expect It s going to be a great night of music of arguably the two premier American rock bands of the last 25 years He says there s not much of a competition factor between the two acts We realize we could never be Aerosmith and they realize they could never be Kiss Stanley says The beauty is that both bands have thrived and survived for 30 years So with this revolving stage and with both of us going out to give 110 the fans win and we win I can t think of a better way to spend an evening Hopefully the tour won t end

solo record in 25 years will feature songs co written by Bob Dylan and the late Frank Zappa Billboard com has learned The as yet untitled disc will be among the first albums released through his recently revived Simmons Records new deal with Sanctuary Records The Dylan co write Waiting for the Morning Light was born out of a one day writing session at Simmons home in Los Angeles six or seven years ago the Kiss bassist vocalist says Bob came up with the chords most of them and then I took it and wrote lyrics melody the rest of it he says adding that he kept urging Dylan through the years to put lyrics to the song I d see him on tour and I d say Bob you wanna write the song And he would say No man you write it Mr Kiss Of the one day session Simmons says We understood each other right away He picked up an acoustic guitar and we just tossed it back and forth How bout this how bout that And he started to strum because he at least with me tended to talk and strum guitar at the same time And as soon as I heard the first three or four chords I went Wait wait what s that Do that again So I went and started to write a lyric around that Simmons says he also plans to build a song around an unused Zappa riff titled appropriately Black Tongue quot The plan is for Dweezil Ahmet and everybody to play on it and to take Frank s voice and create a brand new song It s very dark very sort of King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King kind of sound with 7 8 time The bassist whose previous solo album was a 1978 self titled set released the same day as solo sets from his three Kiss bandmates singer guitarist Paul Stanley singer Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss is also courting the likes of John Mellencamp Axl Rose and Trey Anastasio for guest vocals The album previewed to Billboard com will surely surprise many The funky acoustic guitar laced Dog recalls Warren Zevon s Werewolves of London and the soulful midtempo Waiting for the Morning Light a relationship song is reminiscent of Daryl Hall Looking Out the Window is a sentimental Beatles inspired number that features lap steel Another cut A hole is more of a straightforward rock guitar driven track The solo set

Tongue to shut down From Allen Tuller via Dan bach The following has gone out to GST subscribers Dear Gene Simmons Tongue Subscriber As you probably know Gene and KISS are on tour with Aerosmith and the tour has been extended indefinitely With this in mind we have decided to go on hiatus until Gene is ready and able to devote the attention to GST that he feels is worthy of the quality magazine we are proud to publish Gene is involved in the publication of the magazine on a day to day basis and the tour schedule simply does not allow sufficient time right now to devote to publishing the next issue of GST Since we cannot commit to a future issue date we feel that it would only be fair to give you the loyal subscriber a refund on any unused portion of your current subscription We will be mailing you a check in the next few weeks and we will notify you when we start gearing up on the next issue and start taking subscriptions again Of course we hope that you will re subscribe at that time and we will allow ample time for you to do so and still receive the next issue of Gene Simmons Tongue Magazine We appreciate your understanding and your patience Sincerely Allen Tuller Co founder

joking and never thought they actually would apparently it took 3 months to arrange and 10 minutes before the interview gene called the la studio to say he was stuck in traffic and possibly wouldn tmake it the interview was completely spontaneous the crew gave me a script that had been written by our writers and approved by gene but it was the usual bollocks so i ditched that and went into nerdy fan overdrive hope i asked all the right questions for KISS fans it doesnt make much difference because he answers whatever he fancies and neatly dodges any slightly awkward questions he is a pro still i was surprised how nice he was about ace that was kind of a sad litle tale quot nbsp New KISS Kollector From KISS Kollector New issue KISS Kollector magazine out soon The February issue of

my copy of Kisstory cos he played on Paul s solo album had a band with Vinnie Vincent amp toured with Kiss whilst in King Kobra I asked him if it was true that he had auditioned for Kiss in 1980 amp

recorded several rhythm tracks amp producer Bob Kulick was adding the guest guitars amp vocals He hadn t heard what had happened to his tracks yet but enjoyed working on the Kiss songs as much as his

When Gene was in Cologne Germany on March 31 to do interviews all day long to promote his upcoming solo album KISS Kollector Fanclub caught up with him to find out what s going on in Gene s world these days Despite a gruelling schedule instead of two days in Cologne there was only one day because the next day he had to be in the UK Gene found time to invite KISS Kollector into his interview suite for almost an hour Gene posed for photos played songs from his album on a very high volume and had a huge photo of the possible album cover displayed next to him and of course updated us on what s going on in the world of Gene and KISS For more than 30 years Gene Simmons has been known for one remarkable body piece his tongue But now KISS leader wants people to be aware of a completely different body part his Asshole Gene thinks this is the right time to admit to the world he is a real asshole And beware the man is proud of it too When more and more KISS fans were blaming Gene for the fact that KISS isn t touring with original guitarist Ace Frehley and original drummer Peter Criss anymore and accused Gene of being an asshole he decided to change the title for his forthcoming solo album into Asshole The reason he doesn t want Ace and Peter in his band anymore is because as he puts it they have been and forever will be drug addicts who have a problem showing up on time for rehearsals flights and concerts According to Gene fans don t want to hear this and instead blame things on the firebreathing bassist Well then says Gene if it has to be like that indeed I am an asshole a real asshole The title track of his album due May 17 on Simmons Records Sanctuary Music repeats this statement with a lot of pride The catchy uptempo bubblegum rock tune reminiscent of Avril Lavigne s recent hit Skater Boy has a great singalong chorus that goes How does it feel to be a real Asshole The song originally was part of a demo sent to Gene Records by Norwegian band Shirleys Temple Gene loved the song so much that he contacted componist Frank Tostrup in Norway in order to buy the track Gene then slightly changed the lyrics and arrangement and thus the first single off his second solo album was born Asshole the album is an ecclectic mix of rock pop grungy psychedelia and bluesy tunes Just like his 1978 solo album it varies from uptempo rockers to Beatlesque ballads One of the highlights is a song called Sweet amp Dirty which Gene originally wrote in 1977 but re wrote over the years and even recorded with KISS in 1998 but it never ended up on an album by the group For his solo album Gene recorded the tune again this time with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer Bruce and Eric also recorded another track on the album Weapons The song Carnival Of Souls sounds like it s been copied from KISS 1997 album with that same title the last KISS album featuring Bruce and Eric as more or less official band members it reminds of Hate in particular The song was also recorded by KISS in 98 for the album that became Psycho Circus but it never made the final selection of the album Gene co wrote the song with Scott Van Zen who worked with Gene on several KISS songs in the late 90s and recycled the song for his own album Ritchie Kotzen plays lead guitar on the track and Gene who admits he stole the instrumental part from the song 7 amp 7 by a band called Love had his son Nicholas sing backing vocals Gene also recycled an unused guitar riff by the late Frank Zappa and built a song around it titled Black Tongue Zappa s son Dweezil plays guitar while the rest of the Zappa family including his widow Gail sings backing vocals Gene co wrote two songs with Bag a multitalented musician who happens to be the first new signing on Simmons Records Bag is responsible for the main parts of the songs Dog and If I Had A Gun Whereas Gene obviously takes care of the lead vocals Bag played all instruments on both songs With Bob Dylan Gene co wrote the song Waiting For The Morning Light a wonderful ballad that only features keyboards keyboardbass and drumsamples next to Gene s voice Just like the title track the song Whatever Turns You On Turns Me On was part of a demo that was sent to Simmons Records Gene contacted the singer of the band Dave Williams who wrote the song and obtained the rights to include it on his solo album Gene altered the lyrics a little bit and had his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed and her mother sing backing vocals Beautiful is a song written by Nina Singh and Mark Addison from Kitty Gordon The last cover on the album is Firestarter originally a big hit for The Prodigy and written by their singer Liam Howlett Gene also recycled a track titled Now That You re Gone which he co wrote in 1977 with Bob Kulick The song s bridge came to Gene when he was working on overdubs in the studio His father had passed away two years earlier and the lyrics deal with his feelings towards his father s passing Gene s daughter Sophie and two of her friends sing backingvocals The last song on the album is I Dream A Thousand Dreams which Gene had originally written for Shania Twain For his own album he turned the country song into a very Beatlesque tune For a while he didn t know how to end this song until he was reminded of his 1978 solo album of which the closing track is his alltime favorite Disney classic When You Wish Upon A Star which ends with a falsetto note Then it connected to him and he had found the perfect ending for his second solo effort Gene is currently putting the finishing touches on his album and its artwork So far the album cover is going to be a photo of Gene dressed in a black suit looking like some kind of gangsta rap pimp with a lot of black eyeliner and surrounded by women of all sorts shapes and ages ranging from young and beautiful to big and old Exactly the way Gene like his women While KISS will be on tour for the rest of the year Gene is planning Asshole parties on off days during the tour To attend these parties you d need an official pass that says I m a real Asshole Back To Main News Page email gif 5098 bytes Drop me Paul Finn an E mail News Archive April 2004 News Archive April 2004

aware Gene has just filmed a new UK TV reality show called Rock School In the show he takes on the role of forming a rock band called The Class at Christ s Hospital School The band then get the job of opening for Motorhead quot Beth quot someone very close to the band has very kindly sent me in the following inside info on the show quot I had never heard of Gene before he landed down at CH I didn t even know he was coming but the band was marching out to parade don t know how familiar u are with our school but we march in to lunch accompanied by the band This black limo pulls up right next to the band who have stopped and gets out cheesily looks all about him dressed in a long leather coat jeans black shirt shades and black cowboy boots and I m like who the bloody hell is that And my mate goes that s Gene Simmons from Kiss and I thought he was a radio DJ call me ignorant I was really cynical he seemed so up himself which I found later he was Anyway the Class had their work cut out days were quite tiring they had journals to complete like video diaries and so their usual timetables were quite messed up Erm I don t think I m allowed to tell you the names of the peops as of yet The thing is with the Class is that towards the end they had had enough as they basically were puppets for the TV peops and Gene annoyed them a bit cos at the Motorhead Concert he told one of them she wasn t very good so they all told him to Go Home And I was there when they filmed the scene where they say goodbye to Gene and the girl was like Oh Gene we ll miss you even though ur a dick But I myself met him properly on three occasions like proper chat Twice was over lunch and we got filmed He was talking about what we wanted to be when we were older then about the difference between presidents and prime ministers and then about how fox hunting shouldn t nbsp be a sport it should be slaughter as Gene put it I love him to bits now because even though he is bloody arrogant he s not a bad old guy Anyway so he goes Fox hunting shouldn t be called a sport but it shud be known as slaughter and we said why Gene says if it was more equal like if they gave the fox a gun as well as the hunters then it could be called a sport because it d be fair play And we are like errr Gene they don t use guns in fox hunting they use dogs He also liked repeating his cheesiness saying that the school had touched his heart on a number of occasions where he had to make speeches And in our chapel service the entire school had to sing God Gave Rock and Roll to you The tribute band came in while Gene was there and after hearing them I became a fan and did all the Research on Kiss me and my mate had discovered something truly awesome it seems And although he s old enough to be my father Paul Stanley is hot stuff Oh in my long rant forgot to mention sadly no kiss makeup quot nbsp I asked if Gene turned up in full make up Paul A huge THANK YOU goes out to Beth it s great to hear that after not knowing who the hell Gene was she became a fan so soon she s already gone out and bought the Symphony DVD I should have some more details on The Class soon nbsp 19th December 2004 nbsp Hotter Than

at The Observer Gene Simmons sticks out his long reptilian tongue snatches the microphone from the small boy and swings it wildly around his head With his other hand he gestures to another child playing the drums to fling his drumsticks to the ground The front man of Kiss the band whose outrageous make up riotous shows and sex crazed groupies made them the biggest American stadium act of the Eighties has crossed the Atlantic to teach pupils at the oldest boarding school in England how to be rock gods in a project echoing last year s hit film The School of Rock nbsp Being in a rock band is an allegory for life Good taste is academic and talent is overrated mindset and perseverance are everything says the singer 54 In a rock band each person is out for themselves within the context of the team nbsp Children need to learn to be selfish to put themselves first and not care what other people think I have welcomed these children into the twilight zone and they have never seen anything like it nbsp In a new six part TV series to be screened on Channel 4 next spring Simmons has been given a month to turn ten 13 year old public school pupils who excel in classical music into stars

between 20 000 and 30 000 Half are being brought up by single parents and they all have reasons why they benefit from studying away from home ranging from the death of a parent or trouble with a step parent to an overcrowded home Not quite the Little Lord and Lady Fauntleroys that Simmons who boasts of having seduced more than 4 600 women admits he was expecting nbsp The children greeted the rock god coolly and took time to be won over by him We didn t really care who Gene was or that he was a rock star when he drove into our school forecourt in his limousine and stepped out wearing his sunglasses and leather coat we just thought he was really arrogant said the band s 13 year old keyboard player whose name is to remain secret until the programme is broadcast nbsp It was only when we watched his DVD and saw the size of his audience and how they reacted to him that we thought he might have something to teach us agrees the band s manager Now he has been here a few weeks he is more civilised nbsp Simmons a former teacher in Harlem who was sacked for replacing his pupils Shakespeare books with Spiderman comics has four central lessons for the pupils how a rock star behaves how he or she moves the melodic structure of rock songs and the history of rock nbsp But the most important thing for a rock star is arrogance he says Arrogance is how you get the only two things that matter in the world sex and money Rock n roll is the sanctuary of all the misfits and the morons who are unqualified to do anything yet we end up getting paid more and having more sex than any other person on the face of the planet nbsp But while delighted to swing their microphones about his pupils are not convinced His claim about the women is really sick said the band s manager Rock star or not it is not healthy It is just to feed his ego it is really immature On his website you can see all these women but they must be gold diggers if you look at him he is just a middle aged man nbsp The head Dr Peter Southern said His lessons on false confidence may be more obviously useful in rock but they can be key in an interview for university a violin solo or a tricky moment in a rugby match nbsp Simmons admits he may have learnt more than the children They are much more caring about each other than I would be when I chose the band members some said they wanted to step down because another child wanted the place more than they did he said They have taught me a degree of humility I didn t have before which is not necessarily a good thing for a rock star to learn nbsp 2nd December 2004

thought about was sex quot This court papers say was shown and followed by a photo of Ward with Simmons Ward s papers say that because a photo of her with Simmons was shown during remarks about his sexual adventures she was in effect portrayed as quot wild quot and quot unchaste quot quot The implication was that Ward was a prostitute and or solicited prostitutes and or she was a sexually loose woman quot court papers say Ward married with a 21 year old son said she met Simmons at a concert in October 1972 when she was 21 For the next three years through fall of 1975 she says in court papers

quot Mr Excitement quot or simply to the legions of KISS fans as the Spaceman Ace Frehley with his impressive lead guitar riffs and stinging vibrato has been a major influence on rock guitar for over two decades Artists such as Pantera s Dimebag Darrel and Skid Row have named him as in influence nbsp Ace also creates excitement onstage with his spaceman persona with his 6 foot one inch 175 lb frame staggering around the stage his knees bent and his back arched totally aloof from his surroundings He is of course also known for his stage theatrics which include the burning guitar during his solo which is then put on a wire and sent up into the air and then he gets another guitar with a rocket launcher and shoots rockets Offstage Ace Frehley is quiet and keeps to himself but however has had a long battle with alcohol and other substances but is now healthy His current interests are computers science fiction his interest in science fiction inspired his Spaceman persona and reading about the International Space Station A beloved member of KISS due to the fact that he has come from humble beginnings to make it big in one of the greatest rock bands in the world Paul Daniel Frehley was born in the Bronx located in New York City on April 27 1951 He also grew up there Ace was born with brown hair and brown eyes nbsp His father Karl was an electrical engineer and his mother Esther was a homemaker Ace was born the youngest of three children He has a brother Charles who is a classical guitarist and a sister Nancy Growing up right off of 200th St and Webster Ave Ace graduated Grace Lutheran School at age 13 However he got thrown out of two high schools and dropped out of the third Two of the high schools he attended were DeWitt Clinton High School and Roosevelt on Fordham Rd It was in his high school years that he got the nickname quot Ace quot when he had the ability to get his friends dates His friends said quot You are a real Ace quot It was also in his high school years that a guidance counsellor encouraged him to get into graphic arts On a side note Ace did well in the arts department in high school Later in 1993 he would use his graphic arts skills to produce art work from a computer and sell the work in an art gallery in New Jersey His family did not have a lot of money and in his teen years Ace would get involved in streetgangs He would later credit guitar playing for quot saving his life quot as a member of KISS Ace was always surrounded by music His father played piano as did his mother His father was the church organist Both his brother who is a classical guitarist and sister both played piano so according to Ace quot guitar didn t come hard to me at all quot Ace first started playing guitar at age 13 He lists Jimi Hendrix Albert Lee Buddy Guy B B King Led Zeppelin The Rolling Stones and the Who as his main influences What made Ace really want to make guitar playing his career however was when at age 16 he saw Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels with the Who and Cream as the opening acts In fact Ace considers Pete Townsend to be his all time favorite guitarist On a side note Ace acted as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix he set up Mitch Mitchell s drum kit Sadly it was to be Jimi s last New York appearance From then on Ace knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life Self taught he did learn from his friend Peppy Castro from the Blues Magoos how to play barre chords The first song Ace ever learned was quot Mrs Brown You ve Got a Lovely Daughter quot by Herman s Hermits Prior to Ace s joining KISS he played in bar bands and the like In 1969 Ace played for a band called Magic People According to KISSTORY Ace played in other bands such as The Muff Divers The Exterminators and Four Roses The only recording experience Ace had prior to KISS was with a band he joined circa 1972 or so named Millemo Millemo had a contract with RCA records and recorded several tracks but they were never released Ace also worked as a cab driver for a time to support himself It was also during this time period while Ace was trying to establish himself as a musician that in 1970 at age 19 he met his girlfriend Jeanette They later married on May 10 1976 and on July 9 1980 became the parents of their daughter Monique who will be 19 this July On January 17 1973 Ace went to a loft on 10 E 23rd St near Fifth Avenue in Manhatten New York City where Paul Stanley Peter Criss and Gene Simmons were auditioning for guitarists to finish creating their ultimate band He was answering an advertisement for a guitarist in the magazine quot The Village Voice quot which said quot Guitarist wanted with flash and balls quot He walks into the audition with an orange sneaker and a red sneaker He walked in ironically enough on Bob Kulick s audition After Bob Kulick auditions Ace Paul and Gene talked for a bit and then the group jammed on quot Deuce quot Gene told Ace that it was in the key of quot A quot and as for the solo quot go for it quot Well Ace played a ripping solo and a week later he was in the band which later named itself KISS In the early days of KISS when they played clubs like Coventry the Daisy and started experimenting with makeup Ace created his Spaceman persona One idea he had was to spray his hair silver He also designed the KISS logo refined by Paul Stanley which is still used to this very day The double s in KISS were to be like lightening bolts This comes from Ace s talent in graphic arts In fact on the 1996 97 Reunion Tour Ace designed the 4 solo faces morphing on the screen from his computer It was at the Hotel Diplomat where KISS met Bill Aucoin who promised them a record deal within two weeks For the first few albums in KISS career Ace wrote only one or two songs and did not have a lot of confidence in his singing He wrote quot Cold Gin quot for the first album quot KISS quot 1974 but had Gene sing it Paul and Gene always pushed him to sing but he wouldn t For quot Hotter than Hell quot 1974 the second album he wrote quot Parasite quot and quot Strange Ways quot but Gene sang the former and Peter sang the latter Both songs contained blistering guitar work by Frehley as did the whole album He also co wrote quot Coming Home quot from that album as well with Paul a song which Paul sings For quot Dressed to Kill quot 1975 Ace wrote quot Getaway quot which was sung by Peter as well as the acoustic part of quot Rock Bottom quot which Paul not only sings but wrote the hard rock part quot Shock Me quot from the 1977 KISS classic quot Love Gun quot features not only great lead work by Ace but his first lead vocal On a side note technically Ace first sang lead on a song called quot Queen for a Day quot for the Rock N Roll Over album that did not make the final cut He recorded his singing in a rather unique way by lying on his back in the dark The reason this was done was because he was nervous and did not want anyone to see him sing quot Shock Me quot is a fan favorite and a concert highlight After Ace would sing quot Shock Me quot on tour in the 70 s he would start his guitar solo which featured his guitar being set on fire and explode He would then come out and finish the solo with a second guitar Ace did eventually become more comfortable singing lead He sang quot Rocket Ride quot on the fourth side of ALIVE II When KISS recorded the solo albums Ace sang lead on all his tracks He played all guitars and bass with the exception of two tracks which were done by Will Lee who is the bassist for the band on David Letterman s show Playing drums was Anton Fig who comes into the KISS picture also Fig not only plays in Letterman s band but played on most of the tracks on quot Dynasty quot except for quot 2000 Man quot and quot Dirty Livin quot and the entire quot Unmasked quot 1980 album It was also during this time that Ace s battle with the bottle was getting to dangerous levels With the success of the ALIVE 1975 record Ace who liked to drink started to become lackidasical and unfortunately fell to the excesses that came with being a rock and roll musician alcohol drugs sex friends quot so called friends He missed a couple of recording sessions for quot Destroyer quot 1976 because he wanted to leave early and play cards with his friends and the producer Bob Ezrin who Ace did not get along with replaced him on a couple of tracks one being quot Sweet Pain quot with a sessions player named Dick Wagner Also Bob Kulick played on all songs on the Alive II 1978 record due to Ace s inebriation with the exception of Rocket Ride Ace s relationship with the rest of the band particularly Gene and Paul were strained at best The one member of the band that Ace was the closest to was Peter Like Ace Peter grew up in gangs and liked to party The two were kindred spirits Gene and Paul on the other hand were straitlaced in the sense that they were very businesslike and didn t partake of any drugs or alcohol On a side note by the time the group toured to support Dynasty the whole band were not speaking to each other The recording of his solo album was a definite musical release for Ace who at the time felt Gene and Paul were holding him back Not only that he had a hit from it the only KISS member to have one from all of the solo albums quot New York Groove quot written by Russ Ballard which charted to 13 on the charts On quot Dynasty quot 1979 nbsp Ace wrote two songs and sings three He wrote quot Hard Times quot and quot Save your Love quot and sings the cover of quot 2000 Man quot from The Rolling Stones quot Their Satanic Majesties Request quot album It is during quot 2000 Man quot where Ace places his guitar solo on the Dynasty tour with new stage theatrics after the guitar burns it goes up in the air on a wire that Ace hooks the guitar on Then with the second guitar he has a rocket launcher which he uses to s hoot a quot rocket quot into the light trussle He also used quot 2000 Man quot on the 1996 97 Reunion instead of quot Shock Me quot in some shows Now he uses quot Into the Void quot from quot Psycho Circus quot 1998 The recording of quot Unmasked quot 1980 had Ace writing and singing quot Talk to Me quot quot Torpedo Girl quot and quot Two Sides of the Coin quot Unfortunately Peter and KISS went their separate ways in May of 1980 and Ace lost not only his buddy in the band but since each member had an equal say in the band s business he lost a voting member The new hire Eric Carr while an excellent musician was just a hired musician and had no say in any major decision While Ace and Eric got along in fact Eric Carr co wrote quot Breakout quot which appears on Ace s solo album post KISS with his band Frehley s Comet titled quot Frehleys Comet quot Ace felt increasingly isolated since he was easily outvoted by Gene and Paul on major decisions This situation helped to set the stage for Ace leaving the band If anything was a catalyst for Ace s leaving the band it was the recording of quot Music from The Elder quot 1981 This is Ace s least favorite album Ace disagreed with the overall direction of the album which was a concept album ala Pink Floyd s quot The Wall quot He also was unhappy with the choice of the producer Bob Ezrin who he did not get along with at all during the quot Destroyer quot sessions He sings on one track quot Dark Light quot and wrote it as well He also wrote the instrumental quot Escape from the Island quot Ace did not want the album released because he felt they should be doing a harder sounding album but he was out voted by Gene and Paul He was also angry that Ezrin cut out alot of his guitar solos quot The Elder quot is KISS least selling album in its catalog During the recording of quot Creatures of the Night quot 1982 Ace got into a car crash in July of 1982 He had already decided to quit KISS and did not participate in the recording of the album He took part in the promotional tour for the album and his departure was announced in November 1982 During the years following his leaving KISS Ace went through peaks and valleys both personally and professionally trying to establish himself as a solo artist In 1983 he formed a new band which consisted of John Regan Peter Frampton on bass Rich ie Scarlet on Guitar and Vocals Anton Fig on Drums and Rob Sabino on Keyboards Arthur Stead also played keyboards for a time Also in that year nbsp he got into another car crash with his 1983 DeLorean where he drove 110 mph against traffic on the Bronx River Expressway He was drunk and lost his license for a couple of years repeat offence Ace went on a club tour circa 1985 with his band and continued to shop demos to record labels In 1986 nbsp he signed a record deal with John and Marsha Zazula of Megaforce Records On May 5 1987 Ace s band now known as Frehley s Comet releases their first album quot Frehley s Comet quot There is a lineup change Tod Howarth replaced Richie Scarlet who left to pursue a solo career on guitars for the album and for the tour Howarth also played keyboards as well Billy Ward replaced Anton Fig who was contractually obligated to the David Letterman show They also drop the keyboardist and leave the lineup as a quartet The first single from the album is quot Into The Night quot which is shot in San Francisco and also features the Washburn AF 40 model guitar that was designed for Ace Ace never played this guitar in concert he always used his Gibson Les Pauls The album features the anti drinking song quot Rock Soldiers quot which was inspired by his 1983 DeLorean car wreck The song was co written by Chip Taylor who is the brother of actor Jon Voigt and the writer of the song quot Angel of the Morning quot The next release for Frehley s Comet was 1988 s Live 1 the quot 1 quot being the recorded track quot Words are Not Enough quot The live portion was recorded on Sept 4 1987 in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom and the live songs on the record were quot Rip It Out quot from Ace s 1978 solo album quot Breakout quot and quot Something Moved quot both from the Frehley s Comet album and quot ALIVE II quot quot s quot Rocket Ride quot This gig featured Anton Fig on the drums On March 19 1988 the band recorded a live concert in London s Hammersmith Odeon Jamie Oldaker was the new drummer at this point Several songs from this live performance were put on an official tape titled quot Live 4 quot which included songs such as quot Rip it Out quot quot Something Moved quot and KISS classics such as quot Cold Gin quot and quot Shock Me quot along with the video for quot Into the Night quot quot Rock Soldiers quot quot Insane quot and quot It s Over Now quot The video was released in early 1989 At the end of May 1988 Frehley s Comet released its second album titled quot Second Sighting quot Some of the songs featured are quot It s Over Now quot and quot Insane quot The band in July of that year opens for Iron Maiden The album does poorly whereas the first album was in the top 50 on the American charts The band unfortunately goes through another personnel change as Tod Howarth leaves the band In 1989 Ace releases quot Trouble Walking quot under the name Ace Frehley Since the predecessor quot Second Sighting quot did not do so well it is possible the record company felt that maybe the new album will sell more copies under the name quot Ace Frehley quot The album features quot Do Ya quot a song originally done by ELO and the Move Richie Scarlet is back in the band and Anton Fig is playing drums on the album on all tracks with the exception of the title track which is done by eventual touring drummer Sandy Slavin Interestingly enough old KISS comrade Peter Criss sings backups on the album Eddie Kramer produces the record like he did the first one along with Ace and John Regan quot Trouble Walkin quot does not do very well on the charts The band tours in 1990 to support it John Regan leaves the band and Ace loses his record deal Ace continued to tour clubs He did the KISS expo circuit to for meet and greets with fans and for the q amp a sessions His tours were called quot Just for Fun quot tours He went through many lineup changes After John Regan left he had bass players such as Mark Normand and James Lomenzo White Lion before finally getting Karl Cochran who co authored quot Into the Void quot He also had drummer Sandy Slavin leave in 1992 and Greg D Angelo White Lion replace him until Steve quot Budgie quot Werner in 1993 was the drummer until Ace returned to KISS in 1996 The one person who stood by Ace from 1989 or so was the man who was in the original Frehley s Comet who left to pursue a solo career Richie Scarlet Richie stuck with Ace through thick and thin for over 15 years In 1995 Ace Frehley and Peter Criss hooked up for a North American tour titled quot The Bad Boys Tour quot The title of the tour obviously played on their reputations as the KISS member who partied a lot and trashed hotel rooms etc On the tour Peter s band quot Criss quot would go on first then Ace s band and then Peter would come on during the end of Ace s set and jam for a couple of encores On both of their parts there was apprehension but as the tour went along they started to feel more comfortable with each other In July 1995 Ace was inducted on the Hollywood Rock Walk of fame by himself The reason this happened was when in May 1993 when KISS was being inducted in the honor of KISS 20 year anniversary Ace was not wanted there In fact Gene and Paul were said to be willing to boycott the ceremony if Ace showed up At that time circa 1992 or so Ace was in a war of words with Gene and Paul which was unprovoked by him Ace However the tempers appeared to have cooled because at the same time Ace and Peter were doing the Bad Boys Tour KISS were conducting their own quot Official KISS Conventions quot where they would have a q amp a and an acoustic set of songs of anything the fans wanted to hear At the Los Angeles KISS Convention in June 1995 Peter attended and sang quot Hard Luck Woman quot Peter and Ace both were invited for the New York KISS Convention but could not because the convention conflicted with the club tour However another opportunity rose when MTV asked KISS to perform for their quot Unplugged quot Series Ace and Peter were asked to come and they did they met in August of 1995 at the SIR studios and rehearsed and in Ace s word s quot the magic was there again quot nbsp There was some doubt since the original members had not played in 15 years but once they got it together it worked At the Unplugged they performed quot 2000 Man quot and quot Beth quot with just the four originals and Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer sitting out Bruce and Eric came back for quot Nothin to Lose quot and quot Rock n Roll All Night quot confetti and all The quot Unplugged quot Special was a catalyst for the full fledged reunion tour along with the apparent goodwill amongst the original members During 1996 they practised putting on the makeup and went through weight training Ace had to relearn all his solos and leads The band made a surprise appearance on the 1996 Grammy Awards and did a pre tour show at the KROQ Weenie Roast Before a sold out show in Detroit s Tiger Stadium on June 28 1996 Ace Frehley after going through all the ups and downs of his personal and professional life took the stage with KISS and reclaimed his position as a true guitar great From that first day on the tour to end night after night he showed the world how a true rock guitarist does it I would like to add a personal note if I may I had the pleasure of seeing the last night of the four night run at New York City s Madison Square Garden It was on July 28 1996 and just watching Ace perform was an experience I will never forget I will always remember his singing quot Shock Me quot and quot New York Groove quot and his stage moves One thing he did do that will make what was my first KISS show ever unforgettable was that he pointed up at me not once but TWICE That I will never forget He was also playing sober on the tour which was a great thing to see After the 1996 97 tour concluded KISS recorded quot Psycho Circus quot which was released September 22 1998 and produced by the late Bruce Fairbairn The song quot Into the Void quot by Ace Frehley and Karl Cochran is the only song written by Ace to make it on to the U S release of the album quot In Your Face quot is on the Japanese release and has Ace singing but Gene wrote it It is believed that Ace plays on two tracks on the US release of quot Psycho Circus quot quot Into the Void quot and quot You Wanted the Best You Got The Best quot Ace also sings part of quot You Wanted quot Ace also plays on quot In Your Face quot The tour in support of the cd started Oct 31 1998 with a 3 D show during certain songs Ace along with his bandmates appear on quot MadTv quot an episode of quot Millennium quot right before the tour They also shoot their scenes for the upcoming feature film quot Detroit Rock City quot and do a photo shoot for a Playboy issue during breaks in the tour schedule In conclusion Ace will be remembered not only for his body of work with KISS but for his originality as a guitarist and a major influence on guitarists over the world He will also be remembered for his comeback from the abyss of personal problems and professional disappointment to reunite with one of rock s greatest bands He has made an impact on the lives of many people and will always continue to do so Sources

Wallace I could have written anything when asked to contribute a piece to this issue I have mulled it over for weeks thinking about KISS Thinking about what they are they were what they have done and not done what others think of them most of which has been written already What else can be said about the fab four A chance remark by some work colleagues a clinical psychologist no less about my liking for Gene Simmons and there it was Why Gene Why The Demon What is it about this 50 year old man with mediocre looks and a big ego which sets the pulses of this 38 yr old woman on fire It is quite something to look inwards and open the psyche to the world at large in an attempt to understand why the macabre the dark side of life appeals without sounding twisted and weird cos twisted and weird I aint Although my family friends and work colleagues do wonder how this sane straight clever person hides a darker side which revels in the likes of Alice Cooper KISS etc But that is just like Gene too He is a sane straight clever man Totally in control of himself and his life He had a dream and the determination to reach for it He is a man who believes in himself and everything he can be and will not be deflected and dumbed down by those who cannot or will not accept such confidence in a person Gene has said I want it all and so far he is certainly getting it From humble beginnings Gene has been true to himself and his dreams He truly believes in what he does and loves doing it There is no empty hype with him What you see is what you get And in Gene s self confessed delusional state of mind you are getting the best He can be very upfront and in your face and that is what I admire He makes no apologies for himself His legendary appetite for women is no rock n roll hype invented to bolster a fading image Gene loves Women Women of all shapes sizes colours and creeds As a woman I feel no resentment with this Here is no misogynist posturing no putting down of women and portrayal of them as mere objects of lust and sex to be tossed away when finished with Gene genuinely loves women And I defy any woman to stand there and tell me that flattery and outright appreciation leaves them cold I know it pleases me to think that I could stand there in front of Gene and know my womanly curves and attributes will elicit such an appreciative response from the Demon Now there is my ego on a trip Something else I have in common with the man Gene describes himself as delusional He describes himself as having more confidence than he has a right to It is refreshing to meet this kind of attitude in these angst ridden days Who else is going to believe in you if you don t believe in yourself first Gene has taught me a lot about confidence and belief in yourself Nowadays I am my own number 1 fan If that is being delusional then I am in good company What about money Gene has been accused of being too fond of money and that everything he does is geared around making more So what Whatever is wrong with wanting to be filthy stinking rich What I like is that Gene doesn t pretend to be otherwise Everybody in this world works for money the plumber the lawyer the bartender so why should Rock Stars be different Gene loves what he does lives for it and gives everything to a show and the fans but he is happy to get paid for it If I could do what I love doing and be paid millions for doing it then I would happily do so why pretend otherwise We can all do good with our earnings give to charity help others but why should we shout it out loud Gene does his own part and gives generously but rarely crows about it it is not his style Gene s philosophy is I want more I have no problem with this No one forces me to put money in his pockets I buy the music and merchandise I want and leave behind that I don t want No one is pressurising me to part with my earnings to fill the Gene coffer s it s up to me and what about the dark side and the Demon persona We all possess a dark side an inner place where twisted thoughts and images are given reign It is normal and healthy This is the stuff of fantasy and when handled properly we are able to give into these primitive urges in a safe and harmless manner That s why horror films and books delight us why images of the bizarre interest and titillate us and why vampires devils and demons intrigue us Perhaps it is because these things verge on the dangerous are looked upon as degenerate and disgusting by polite society and verge on the forbidden which any child knows just makes it all the more exciting Gene delights in the macabre He portrays the demon in all of us The devil sitting on our shoulders whispering seductive thoughts in our ears His costume and make up are designed to shock and his stage presence with his imposing height and predatory style can send a delightful shiver along many a spine including mine Gene appeals to my darker side The side of me which remains hidden from people on an every day basis the side of me which refuses to conform to society s artificial norms the side of me which wickedly delights in the bizarre Why it works is because it is not to be taken seriously It is not for real There is no harm in play acting and the healthy expression of passions in a harmless controlled and fun context is ok Unfortunately there are many in this world who fail to see this harmless fun for what it is Who accuse us of corrupting young minds and leading innocent youngsters astray Likewise there are those in this world who take all this expression of the dark side seriously and cannot draw a line between enjoying fantasy and acting it out for real hurting people in the process and causing those such as Alice Cooper KISS etc much hassle having to fight continued accusations of satanic worship and destroying society All in all it is just a game It is all just great fun and I for one will continue to enjoy the music of KISS and my delight in the man Gene Simmons He has given me much to be grateful for and I thank God there are such straight forward confident delightfully wicked entertaining people around in my world Back To Contents email gif

His ...%%==%%14559%%==%%4 Jan 2004%%==%% Written By and used with permission by Mick from Radioactive Chaim Witz was born August 25th 1949 in Haifa Israel to Hungarian Jewish parents His mother Florence was a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp and his father Chaim was a carpenter Five years after his birth his parents separated and when Chaim was only nine his mother brought him to live in the Land of Opportunity the United States of America Mother and son settled in Williamsburg Brooklyn New York Understandably the move wasn t easy for the boy newly renamed Gene Klein as he couldn t even speak the native language let alone fit in with the culture As a child Gene was introduced to his first love comic books and cartoons After watching the documentary Man of a Thousand Faces about the legendary actor Lon Chaney Gene was infected with a passion for horror movies With the help of these new interests television commercials and Walt Disney movies Gene picked up the English language added to a vocabulary which also included Hebrew Spanish Turkish and Hungarian After seeing the historic Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 Gene s life was changed It would be in this his fifteenth year that his mother would give him a secondhand Kent guitar which she purchased for 15 When I saw the Beatles on that program in 1964 I said Gee y ou don t have to get in line and do stuff like the Temptations you can pick up a guitar and you don t have to dance you certainly don t need a band in back of you and anybody can do it Guitar Player 1978 After three years of guitar playing Gene changed to the bass guitar because as he saw it there were far more guitarists in the world than bassists and it would be easier to get into a band if he played the bass Also the instrument was more inkeeping with his personality and the raw sounding attack of the bass excited him By 1968 Gene had been in five separate musical groups Long Island Sounds Rising Sun The Missing Links Bullfrog Bheer and Cathedral entertaining at school functions and the occasional small club in New York While Gene completely surrounded himself with American culture he never wasted his chance for education and in 1970 he graduated from Richmond College with a degree in education and four languages English German Hungarian and Hebrew nbsp Having long decided against his childhood plan of becoming a Rabbi Gene briefly worked as an sixth grade school teacher in Spanish Harlem but gave it up after he realised the children were against him Gene also held a job as Personal Assistant to the editor of Vogue and Glamour magazines Around this time the name Gene Simmons was adopted as a stage name I started teaching for the same reason as I started a band I had a need to get up on the stage Everyone needs the attention but some more than others Rolling Stone In 1968 a Gene was to meet someone he would write musical history with Stanley Eisen was introduced to Gene by mutual friend Steve Coronel in Queens New York While at first they didn t see eye to eye before long a friendship was formed and by 1970 Gene and Paul Stanley began playing and writing music together Their first group Rainbow soon became Wicked Lester and after only several shows playing all original music they were signed by Epic Records on a one record deal Wicked Lester entered Electric Lady Studios in 1971 to record their debut album Consisting of Gene bass Paul guitar Steve Coronel guitar Tony Zarella drums and Brooke Ostrander keyboards After the experimental folk sounding music was rejected by Epic guitarist Steve Coronel left the band and was replaced by Ron Leejack More recording sessions followed only to be once again rejected Gene and Paul realising that Wicked Lester was not living up to expectations set about creating the band that would rule the world Gene recruited Brooklyn drummer Peter Criss after seeing his personal advertisement in Rolling Stone magazine and the trio began rehearsing in a loft on 23rd Street During this formative era Gene following advice from Peter contributed his voice to advertising jingles and with Paul backing vocals on two songs on an album by Lyn Christopher released early in 1973 The trio still under the Wicked Lester name were determined to be the band that would finally give people what they deserved great rock and roll music along with a great theatrical show In January 1973 lead guitarist Ace Frehley entered the band through a personal advertisement placed in the Village Voice searching for a Lead Guitarist with Flash and Balls KISS was born nbsp After months of rehearsals the band was ready to perform live Borrowing a leaf from the pages of several other New York bands KISS started experimenting with makeup After soon realising that a feminine appearance would in no way suit what KISS was trying to bring to the stage it was decided that they would go to the extreme each member would come up with a unique style of makeup suiting their distinct personality makeup that would be worn every time the band performed Gene s KISS character was The Demon and his bat like makeup allowed him to act out all of the characters that had enchanted him as a child As soon as the band stole the media spotlight Gene has always been the most photographed member and his on stage fire breathing tongue waggling and blood drooling have made headlines everywhere More information on the makeup and costumes can be found in the Man of 1 000 Faces section of the Radioactive website nbsp After three albums with a less than lukewarm response it was decided to record KISS already phenomenal live show and the double album Alive was a bigger hit than anyone had ever imagined ultimately going quadruple platinum The Simmons Stanley composition that let the public know KISS prime objective Rock and Roll All Nite quot was written primarily as a battlecry for the band and its fans to believe in quot There was a sense of belonging us against them so we thought why not write a rock n roll manifesto After five years of tremendous musical success sold out tours and phenomenal album sales problems within KISS led to the realisation of the Solo Albums This unique concept would allow each member his own space while they each created an album individually More information on the Gene Simmons album can be found in the Great Expectations section of the Radioactive website KISS decided to remove their trademark makeup in 1983 This would prove to be a make or break situation for the band as for the most part music consumers had grown tired of this aspect of the band and it had arguably got to the point where people were actually avoiding their music because of it In September 1983 the band appeared unmasked on MTV and from then on Genes role in the band would be different he could no longer be the blood spewing monster running wild on the stage and this change would take a while to get used to When we didn t wear make up though the rest of the guys were more comfortable with it I was most uncomfortable because I was going through the motions and trying to be what I wasn t the sort of pretty boy thing nbsp During t he course of the mid to late 1980 s Gene was busy with things not completely related to the band that he had helped propel into superstardom Once he had achieved his dream of being a musician he decided to pursue other goals and began accepting Hollywood acting deals in 1984 As well as producing albums by Black n Blue Wendy O Williams and other artists Gene launched his own record label the inventively titled SIMMONS RECORDS Gene also signed a deal with KISS management to jointly manage the career of jazz singer Liza Minelli which lasted several years More information on production the record label and Gene s Hollywood career can be found in their own sections of the Radioactive website With the release of the aggressive Revenge album in 1992 Gene confessed that for the previous decade he had not been investing his full effort into his band and owing to his other pursuits KISS had suffered For the first time since 1983 Gene got back to penning his trademark heavy and aggressive songs The world tour promoting this album would witness a more aggressive look and nature from Gene he wore a moustache and goatee and the colourful clothes worn on tours in the eighties were replaced with black leather and studs and by his own admission he was finally fully comfortable on stage without makeup Revenge is probably the most satisfying record I ve worked on since Creatures The KISS performance on MTV Unplugged in August 1995 saw the reunion of the four original members of the band and the Alive Worldwide tour announced in early 1996 saw a return to the outrageous makeup and costumes from the mid 70 s This tour and the whole event really is a culmination of more than a decade of fans being on our asses saying we have to do it The Demon was reborn and once again Gene Simmons confounded the critics and regained his position at the top of the music industry The Alive Worldwide tour went on to be the top grossing tour of 96 97 and brought KISS more than anyone could have ever expected March 1999 saw Gene going where few men had ever set foot before the cover of Playboy magazine Touted as the Sex and Music issue it featured shots of band members alongside the twenty Girls of KISS who wore makeup and well very little else The film Detroit Rock City released August 99 in the US saw Gene tackling the role of movie co producer as well as making a guest appearance with the rest of the band in the explosive finale More on Detroit Rock City in the Watchin You area of the Radioactive website What is next for Gene Simmons We can only speculate While the KISS Farewell Tour has been recently announced many people are convinced that it is only the original lineup of the band that is finishing touring Others hold steadfast to their belief that the end of KISS as a band is finally over Will we see Gene moving back into the motion picture industry Producing new bands Releasing a solo album Certainly I can t tell you all of the answers but I can assure you that I will be one of the many watching as the history of the man who embodies the American Dream continues to unfold nbsp THANKS Many thanks to Mick from Radioactive for the use of

Kill Band Info Contact Gig Dates A drummer willing to do anything to make it is sn apped up by a rhythm guitarist bassist duo Soon after a lead guitarist answers an ad by the then trio Now this might sound to most KISS fans exactly how KISS formed but this particular story wasn t set in New Yor k in 1973 it was early 1990 and in England and EXACTLY how DRESSED TO KILL the KISS tribute band was formed If this appeared strangely coincidental then stranger still was the similarity of each of their personalities to those of the original four in KISS Ashley Brookes was Paul Stanley from head to toe the curly dark hair amp brown eyes a theatrical background a strong interest in stage production and the I wanna sing I wanna dance I wanna be somebody rock star mentality with vocals to match The Gene Simmons was similarly larger than life Gary Banton with an eye for t he women a shrewd business sense the stalking walk and note perfect growling bass playing and very soon after the ability to breathe fire Richard Sawyer joined the duo as Peter Criss with the trademark Pearl drum kit the same will and determination that landed Peter Criss the j ob in KISS and the ability to recreate his jazzy dr umming style with ease and precision Finally their original lead guitarist after a bit of coaxing from a friend answered the ad that had been placed in KISS CRAZY fanzine Their Ace was found After much consideration the Love Gun 1977 costumes were chosen for their eye catching appearance and their association with the band at arguably the height of its success The set list was also selected to represent the best of Alive and Alive II and to include such never played live gems as All American Man and Strangeways The name DRESSED TO KILL was coined after a photo session on Easter Sunday 1990 they each wore make up and suits very similar to the ones KISS themselves sported on the album cover of the same name Even though they didn t have their costumes yet they still wanted the KISS world to know they d arrived Their debut was on October 30t h 1991 at Crystals Nightclub Loughborough 300 people the most for ANY band that had played at that venue had travelled near and as far as Scotland and even Switzerland and Italy to witness the fiery baptism that was DRESSED TO KILLs very first show This was documented by Kerrang magazine they d edicated THREE full pages of colour pictures and a comprehensive review by Kontrib dtk3 jpg 22815 bytes utor and Pandora Peroxide Pandora cartoon creato r Ray Zell nbsp This unprecedented coverage for a first concert by ANY band paved the way for what was shortly to follow a support slot to British Glam Metal band Tigertailz at the York Barbican Centre 8 2 92 having been personally requested to appear on the bill by KISS fan Tigertailz vocalist Kim Hooker Again DRESSED TO KILL ended up with their made up faces in Kerrang however this time with a less than favourable review by a where are they now journalist Not only were DRESSED TO KILL making their mark but they weren t necessarily every critics favourite Not u nlike the real thing then Unfazed shows followed at the Marquee London 11 3 92 featured both in Kerrang and Raw magazines and witnessed by such luminaries as Anthony and Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dudley JBs 11 4 92 These shows set them up nicely for their very first KISS Convention appearance at the Astoria Theatre London 21 5 92 where they played to nearly 2000 rabid KISS fans Not only was this a prestigious event for them to play but they also met KISS themselves were interviewed for twenty minutes by MTV for a Headbangers Ball KISS Special and were requested by KISS support band Danger Danger to pose for photos with them nbsp This heightened profile secured a string of shows later in the year and a recreation of KISS London landmark photo shoot landed them in Kerrang once again in February 1993 They hired a 1975 Black and Chrome Cadillac Limousine and made stops at Trafalgar square on Westminster bridge just as KISS had in 1976 and then outside Buckingham palace where the crowds stopped looking at The Queens residence and Guard and started photographing videoing and requested autographs of the band almost everyone appeared convinced that KISS were back with the original line up AND in full makeup and costume This was the epitome of shameless self promotion something that KISS were and are the masters of Yet again DRESSED TO KILL were doing it in style DRESSED TO KILL were now in demand in mainland Europe four shows spread over 2 weekends in July of that year in Austria included an invitation from PolyGram Europe to play at a KISS Konfidential video amp KISS Alive III cd release party at The Rock Inn Vienna and a major biker festival in multi acre farmland in Steiermark 17 7 93 KISS fan Rock Tiger music shop proprietor and Singer with Sex Tiger Chris Bauer was instrumental in arranging their mini tour He was later to be involved in their returns since and is still a good friend dtk5 jpg 14102 bytes After more home shows they made their second KISS convention appearance at The Rocking Chair in Vevey Switzerland 6 11 93 And it was REALLY rocking that nite a packed house and rumour had it that someone had been asked to film DRESSED TO KILLs performance for Gene Simmons private collection If anyone was in any doubt up to this point then this showed what DRESSED TO KILL were made of This therefore paved the way for future European KISS Convention appearances nbsp 1994 saw a return to the Marquee London 17 3 94 a show arranged specifically for Paul and Gene of KISS to attend since they were in town to promote KISS My Ass DRESSED TO KILL followed this up with their Scandinavian debut at the Magasinet in Gothenburg Sweden 26 3 94 before a 600 crowd with a further 100 having to listen from outside due to fire regulation restrictions Another significant moment in the bands career up to this point was the London KISS Convention at the Astoria II 3 9 94 where the Catman himself Peter Criss joined them onstage to play Strutter Deuce and Firehouse Again reviewed by Kerrang Dave Reynolds intimated that the DRESSED TO KILL drummers performance far excelled that of Mr Criss In early October of that year DRESSED TO KILL returned to Sweden to play 2 nights at the White Corner in Gothenburg one night in Helsingborg and a flying visit to Norway to answer a request to play an unplugged medley of KISS songs on an Oslo radio station before blowing away another packed house this time at a venue used to playing host to such bands as Pantera and Soundgarden The Oslo Sentrum 1995 was not only a busy year that saw DRESSED TO KILL both strengthening and expanding its home fan base with shows around the UK but a return visit to Switzerland and a first time in Germany mid June gave the amassed crowds at Conventions in Lausanne and Munich two of DRESSED TO KILLs best shows to date The special guest in Lausanne was none other than original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley who expressed his admiration for their attention to detail nbsp By this time a number of KISS cover tribute bands had surfaced in both Germany Italy however DRESSED TO KILL were evidently STILL the 1st and only really serious choice to play at European Conventions proof if any were needed that if you wanted the best and you booked DRESSED TO KILL You really were getting THE BEST In April of 1996 the UK KISS expo as it then had to be known so as not to infringe copyright at the Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall was to have featured one time KISS lead guitarist and song co writer Vinnie Vincent Unfortunately He didn t show up leaving DRESSED TO KILL to save the day The 400 KISS fans collectors and memorabilia traders were more than pleased with their blistering performance nbsp In June 1996 DRESSED TO KILL undertook a 7 date tour of Japan taking in all the major cities that KISS themselves were to play only months after on their reunion tour These were at theatres in Nagoya Osaka Fukuoka Hiroshima Sendai and Niigata plus an evening at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo This particular show was recorded and beamed via satellite to both Japanese and European receivers of Japans NHK television channel The whole 2 weeks of the tour was the stuff dreams are made of DRESSED TO KILL were to share Bullet train carriages with Joe Satriani and his touring band jam KISS Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin tunes in a bar with members of American Metal band Savatage and UK Queen tribute band The Royal Family and enjoy many of the delights that Japan had to offer December of that year saw another publicity stunt Gary made a guest appearance in full Gene regalia at the Heavy Xmas show in Vienna Austria 15 12 96 on a bill alongside Motorhead and Dio His performance was so authentic that three thousand Viennese rockers and the assembled press were convinced that it really was Gene Simmons nbsp At about the same time a Scandinavian KISS tribute album Kissin Time was released DRESSED TO KILL were the only non Scandinavian band to be invited to record a track for it Thus they offered C mon and Love Me The CD was distributed in Mainland Europe and the UK and available on import in the U S After a well earned break during 1997 DRESSED TO KILL were back on the road in 1998 and in September were once again requested to play another PolyGram Europe release party this time for the reunited KISS first studio album since 1979 Psycho Circus at the U4 in Vienna they then made another guest appearance with cult Austrian band Sex Tiger at their Fifteenth Anniversary show nbsp DRESSED TO KILL also headlined their own Halloween 7th birthday special in London on October 31st 1998 the same night that KISS themselves began their Psycho Circus 3D World Tour By this time though DRESSED TO KILL had played the title track to KISS new album a total of 3 times before KISS had played it even once live In 1999 DRESED TO KILL took up where they had left off the previous year including a triumphant return to Dudley JB s on 29th August for the UK KISS Convention Yet again they proved to everyone exactly why they are THE best KISS Tribute in Europe if not the World The year 2000 saw DRESSED TO KILL playing more shows than ever before Making 6 monthly visits to The Rock Caf Stourbridge The Limelight Club in Crewe The Standard in Walthamstow and a few other places they d not played before spreading the rock to people that had hitherto not seen them 2001 carried on in much the same way with The RnB2 at Bilston inviting them back again and again in addition to the returns to venues they had rocked in 2000 DRESSED TO KILL celebrated their 10th live year anniversary firstly at The Hard Rock Caf Manchester and then at The Standard in Walthamstow London both shows re affirming their ability to Rock n Roll ALL nite and Party EVERY day 2002 for DRESSED TO KILL was all about solidifying their much increased fan base carrying on from what 2001 had been about though their 11th birthday was spread over THREE shows the first at the Hard Rock Caf Nottingham the second at The Standard Walthamstow and the third at the Diamond Sutton in Ashfield Nottinghamshire Some sections of the audience at the Hard Rock Caf show had flakes of paint and small pieces of ceiling falling on them unsurprisingly DRESSED TO KILL had brought the house down quite literally 2003 started out as a year of change for DRESSED TO KILL Their original Ace was replACEd by Danny James Danny ex of KISS tribute band Parasite and guitarist with Phonogram recording act Fahrenheit was the obvious choice his ability was without question Not only that but Gary had stepped in to play Gene for Parasite at their Convention appearance at Bradford Rio s in December of 2000 and Ash had guested on 2 songs with them so they both knew first hand how easily Danny would fit in Indeed the first 2 shows with Danny in the band were at Stourbridge and Crewe the audiences at both venues made the new boy VERY welcome and despite having not had a practice together aside from a brief soundcheck at both shows DRESSED TO KILL demonstrated that they were stronger than ever And more so with every show thereafter especially DRESSED TO KILLs Expo appearance at Crewe on June 21st Playing a 2 and hour set comprising such never before heard live songs as I Dark Light Escape from the island alongside the more oft heard classics they pulled out all the stops with more pyro than ever giving the capacity crowd a spectacle that both audience and band had neither seen nor done before You can be sure DRESSED TO KILL will have some tricks up their sleeve the next time they play If You haven t seen them

amazing stage shows The band started back in 1974 and are still going strong recording albums and nbsp touring the world At one point in their career KISS were the largest band in America and to this day they are one of the top 3 bands when it comes to the number of gold records obtained 1996 saw a return to power when KISS became the largest selling live act of that year KISS haven t always donned the while faces during the 80 s and early 90 s they were a completely normal unmasked band producing albums that achieved world wide success In fact KISS achieved their highest UK chart positions during this period KISS is not anything to do with the techno radio station KISS FM nor are they some kind of tribute to the Robbie Williams Let Me Entertain You video you d be amazed at some of the E mails I get Back to Top 2 Who is in KISS KISS is currently Paul Stanley lead vocals guitar Make up character Starchild Gene Simmons lead vocals bass Make up character Demon Ace Frehley lead vocals guitar Make up character SpaceAce Peter Criss lead vocals drums Make up character Catman Previous members Bruce Kulick lead guitar 1985 gt 1996 Eric Singer drums 1992 gt 1996 Eric replaced

videos tend to do well over here although the latest and in a lot of people s opinions best video has yet to get a release outside of the USA Back to Top 4 How come they wear make up again Currently KISS are undergoing a reunion with the original members and are once again wearing the make up They originally took off their masks in 1983 but 1996 saw the start of the reunion tour featuring all the original members and full stage costumes The reunion stemmed from an appearance on MTV Unplugged towards the end of the set Bruce Kulick amp Eric Singer stepped aside to let Ace amp Peter join in without make up It wasn t long before they made a surprise appearance at the Grammys in full make up and although Bruce amp Eric were still part of the band at that point they eventually left on 16th August 1996 Back to Top 5 When will they come back to the UK They recently played a one off gig at Wembley Arena March 25th 1999 as part of the Psycho Circus tour it was rumoured that the second leg

KISS are now in their Farewell tour and it is unknown if they will return to the UK Several rumours have been flying around recently some of which can be read here nbsp Back to Top 6 When will they release new material In October 1998 KISS released Psycho Circus the first album in 19 years to feature all four original members Although no singles were released the album has some great tracks on

on 22nd October 1999 and is now out on DVD and VHS The film is set in the 70 s and is a comedy based around a bunch of kids getting to a KISS concert KISS are only featured in the film towards the end in a concert scene but even so the film is very funny and well worth seeing Back to Top 8 Are there any KISS computer games available Yes one is out now and another is on the way GOD Games have produced Psycho Circus The Nightmare Child for the PC 3D action game with a separate version for the Dreamcast The UK s release is handled by Take 2 and has been in the shops since August 2000 The game had the backing of one of the best PC developers and it shows it is excellent The UK press gave the game very favourable reviews There is also a cd rom quiz title coming out that will feature info amp quizzes about the band but little is known about it yet apart from it being produced by GT Interactive Back to Top 9 What albums would you recommend There are so many great albums out there it s hard to pick on a few but here goes MTV Unplugged cd or video Very tight performance Bruce plays some excellent guitar work Some of the highlights are Nothin To Loose and Rock N Roll All Nite which feature six members of the band playing together rv jpg 2343 bytes Revenge Released in 1992 this features some great kick yer ass rock tracks including Unholy Take It Off and I Just Wanna This was the album that got me into KISS and will always remain a favourite It also includes the UK hit God Gave Rock And Roll To You II a3 jpg 3324 bytes Any of the Alive trilogy Alive amp Alive II feature classic KISS at it s best they really give an insight into a live KISS show Countless musicians have cited Alive as a major influence Alive III 1993 shows off 90 s KISS at it s best and although many people think it was over produced it contains some great tracks eg Deuce amp RARAN de jpg 3480 bytes Destroyer KISS in their heyday this was released in 1975 and featured many songs that have made it into the live set ever since Particular favourites of mine are Detroit Rock City God Of Thunder Shout It Out Loud amp Beth pc jpg 3490 bytes Psycho Circus The latest KISS album not as well received as it could have been poorly promoted in the UK but it features some great tracks such as Psycho Circus We Are One and Raise Your Glasses The new version with a 6 track live cd is the best one to get it features live songs from the latest tour and is no more expensive than the other version gh jpg 4479 bytes KISS Greatest Hits A great place to start mainly contains classic tracks but also contains some of the biggest UK hits If you can t find this then Greatest KISS black cover is just as good the version of Shout It Out Loud on that one is excellent Back to Top 10 Is it alright to use pictures from this site on other sites I put a lot of hard work into the site especially in processing pics so they look fairly good It s a real bummer when you log onto someone else s site and see that they ve swiped a picture without asking All I ask is that you send me a mail to ask me first chances are I ll say yes Back to Top 11 Do you accept news amp articles from other countries Although this site is mainly focused around UK KISS stuff I d be more than happy to accept articles from other countries I already have some Australian articles and I m hoping to expand this soon don t let the UK side of the site put you off sending me stuff Back to Top 12 Do you get paid for doing the site Nope KISSin UK is 100 non profit making although I would accept small adverts if they re KISS related and as long as whatever is being sold is easily available to UK fans Back to Top 13 Why don t my adverts appear straight away on the Trade Page Whilst the trade page is fully automatic it is still moderated This means that I get to see all adverts before they re put on the site helps get rid of ticket touts and other rip offs The software used to run it is called Fanbase and was 100 home grown I may be making it available to other sites in the near future Usually it takes less than a day for an advert to appear and it ll usually be on the site for at least 60 days adverts are automatically removed but can be easily put back if required just ask Back to Top 14 Why aren t there any MP3 s on this site Unfortunately a lot of web hosts don t allow MP3 s on their servers mine included I m hoping to get a lot more streaming audio in the near future you ll need RealPlayer G2 to make use of it though Back to Top 15 Is KISSin UK part of KISS Online No the site itself isn t part of the KISS Online site We are however the UK news correspondents for KISS Online which is a job that I was really pleased to be asked to do The site isn t affiliated with any other sites as such although we do have strong links with several this allows us to swap news reviews etc Back to Top 16 What other sites are hosted at KISSin UK Along with the main site KISSin UK currently hosts the following sites KISS Lyrics Server http www kissinuk com lyrics nbsp Clownwhite http www kissinuk com clownwhite nbsp KISS Psychos http www kissinuk com psychos nbsp nbsp Back to Top 17 What s planned for the future That s where you come in I want to get as much stuff as possible on the site so send in any requests that you ve got and I ll do my best to sort it out Lots of people have asked for a penpals page so I may have that implemented asap a searchable lyrics database was also requested and is available now If you have any article that you ve written that you want adding just send it in I really appreciate help from other fans Back to Top Author Paul Finn Copyright KISSin UK Revised October 31 2000 KISSin UK Frequently Asked Questions KISSin UK Frequently Asked Questions

Matt Toal Next Report gt nbsp Note Now be prepared for some sarcasm here written with a schoolboy like notion that Messrs Simmons and Stanley are the intended audience repent and come to the UK and let us give them some more cash one last time Digs about reminding people that the UK is bigger than London while necessary sometimes are not intended to inflame any people who are easily aroused In fact no I take that back fuck them Life sucks get a helmet I ve explained that it s directed at Kiss apparent quot Fuck yi very much for 30 years of support and not at Londoners On with my point I m still a regular visitor to the site and have had my fingers crossed with hopes of a UK Tour for some time now With the news that there will be NO European tour let alone the predictable 1 gig only at Wembley well as American actors always let slip on chat shows they re under the impression that there is only 1 city in England isn t there I m in Glasgow and that s probably thought to be a suburb in London no doubt I ve felt a trifle disappointed I was as surprised that my efforts to locate and join in with the furious army of European fans failed I d expected them to be busy bombarding Kiss with petitions pleas and the obvious notion that Kiss have just been using Europe and the UK Hi there when America s fickle tastes waned I ve found no such uproar I realise that the Farewell Tour has been exhausting but why say NO European Tour Why not say We re knackered We ll come next year afterall we ve enough energy to do Australia and Japan and say a final Thanks for all your years of support If Kiss had just done a Farewell Tour of the US and opted out of the rest of the world that at least could be understood a Farewell Tour in their home country the last time together as Kiss Buy the video etc But to do everywhere else and NOT Europe Europe a definition by M Toal A bloody great big bit of land somewhere in between Japan and the United States the bit that s NOT Russia with loads of countries and cultures and languages and wonderful cities and KISS fans it s a slap in the face It is a slap in the face I know a song about that Are they trying to pay back some long retired media pundit who badmouthed them 20 years ago Have they forgotten their geography their honour their manners We do what the fans want yeah but which fans One can speculate endlessly but the fact remains Kiss have snubbed Europe UK too and Scotland remember us Hi there Hmmm I didn t want my last memory of my favouritest band ever to be tarnished by a memory that they didn t bother their collective arses to drop by I d even settle for the afore mentioned predictable one gig only at Wembley London s the only city in UK Scotlan s a town in England At least then I d have the option of plotting murder to obtain tickets But at the moment my faith has turned sour I see the through the makeup my youth I must finally admit is gone at age 29 And Kiss the most dedicated flamboyant inventively determined bunch of guys ever to give the finger to convention are gone too So what s left for my generation or indeed anyone who appreciates a band that actually plays a musical instrument A band that actually has talent younger readers and any aspiring Boy Bands may wish to seek the aid of www dictionary com at this juncture under T Smashing Pumpkins are gone Big Country good musicians OKAY are gone most of my favourite bands All I need now is for Pearl Jam to throw in the towel and that ll be me I ll never see a guitar played live ever again Instead I m left staring slack jawed at the TV at endless assembly lines of boy bands girl bands soul less talentless corporate lackies one and all Hip hop and rap music escapes me I m not the intended audience I am old enough to have pubic hair and indeed I do and I do not have a penchant for hand guns so Gangsta Rap is right out as well I m afraid I m white and therefore I do not have a genetic proclivity and appreciation for dancing I can only do one dance affectionately known as the quot Shiter Shuffle where one shambles about a dance floor with a cigarette in one s hand attempting to look cool Really what does a white Glaswegian know about dancing without the aid of Ecstacy Leave it to the masters It seems I m to be left with memories and a growing resentment for manufactured music Maybe I ll go and see Europe one more time

know that Paul Stanley is just like you a wild and horny child I should know because last night I had him and I just want to say that all the gay rumours are not true He is definitely not gay Mind you I can t say the same for me I thought I was straight but some how he converted me to be his little bunny boy Pauls lips are luscious and his touch is devine and his favourite is to suck lollypop His flavour of the month is freshcreampenis Paul is even wilder in bed than on stage and was plesantly surprised seeing he is an old guy who has just had a hip replacement We sat up in bed afterwards when I had a short black and he had a long black We talked for hours about his ex wife and how she used to mistreat his by demanding sex at least once a week when he specifically stated in their contract only birthdays and jewish public holidays and to quote Pauly it was just a little too hetrosexual for him and it is just not my style As the sun rose Paul and I laid in bed stroking each other he told me his hips were OK to go even though the specialist said Never again I still hold the guilt of the heart attack incident but we won t go into that it still hurts You try getting an old fat bastard off your back Its impossible you should be so lucky to try it Paul is also generous in other ways he purchased for me at Kissmas a few gerrables A few escaped Paul and I were down on all fours looking for them for hours and hours Paul s special performance in the Phantom of the Opera was due to me I gave him the special medication that was required to ease his vocal cords I hope to meet up with Paul when he comes back from NY and I look forward to his platform boots walking stick and viagra under my bed Anyway better go but if you want a further blow by blow description please email me at

nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Hotter Than Hell UK Tribute Band Contact Gig Dates Guitarist with flash and balls seeks Demon Starchild and Catman nbsp If something sounds a little back to front with that it s because it was not the start of KISS but of HOTTER THAN HELL the latest European tribute to the hottest band in the world and yes I did say European but more of that later In a mirror image of KISS formation HOTTER THAN HELL was founded by Trevor Lynn a guitar player who delivers Ace Frehley s blistering solos note for note whilst at the same time capturing the Spaceman s cackling knock kneed persona Continuing in reverse order to the real thing the next to join was Peter Criss in the form of Ian Danter a dynamic drummer of some 20 years experience and veteran of numerous bands including Bon Jovi tribute New Jersey The Catman was shortly followed by a stellar singer and powerhouse rhythm guitarist from Northern Ireland Marty McStravick formerly Paul Stanley in KISSTORY and KIZZ The final piece of the jigsaw was a fire breathing blood spitting Demon an advert in the KISSINUK web site produced a reply from Andrew Touch of Italian KISS tribute DRESSED to KISS Thus HOTTER THAN HELL the ultimate European tribute to KISS was born Andrew Touch Marty McStravick Trevor Lynn Ian Danter On the auspicious date of Friday 13th June 2003 the four members met for the first time took a deep breath and launched into the opening chords of Deuce From the start it became apparent this band was LOUD and played with a ferocious energy whilst sounding as tight as a drum Over the course of 2 days at Birmingham s Madhouse rehearsal rooms HOTTER THAN HELL worked through an incredible 43 songs from right through the Kiss catalogue even finding time to include the original choreography from KISS s shows A month later the 4 met again this time in full make up and costume for a dress rehearsal and photo shoot with former KISS photographer Tony Mottram While relaxing at the Catman s home they even found a few hours to record a demo CD a sample from which can be heard on the band s website www hotterthanhell net HOTTER THAN HELL are currently booking gigs for 2003 and will be

during the summer of 1976 I was at a friend s place He had enthused about this band called KISS for weeks but I had always been reluctant to learn anything about them Remember KISS had just toured across Europe for the very first time and since they had also played in Zurich magazines and newspapers were full of them I disliked KISS because in my mind at that time they were a wild bunch of punks putting on a very violent show after all wasn t there blood spilled on stage It was in this frame of mind that I entered this friend s room He picked up a few albums from a pile on the floor and handed them to me They were KISS albums Hotter Than Hell was there and Alive and KISS When I looked at the covers something began to change They looked very cool and very exciting especially on the Alive cover My friend put Alive on his turntable and when the band tore into Deuce and all those bombs went off I turned into a fan This was it Here finally was a band that played fresh and exciting hard rock and had the image to match I was in awe Apart from Deuce it was Strutter She 100 000 Years and Black Diamond that knocked me out completely In September 1980 I got to see KISS live for the first time By that time Eric Carr had replaced Peter Criss on the drums It was a fantastic sold out show I didn t like the costumes from the Dynasty Unmasked period much but otherwise it was an unforgettable experience In July 1981 I spent a few days in New York and paid a visit to the Aucoin Management on Manhattan s Madison Avenue The receptionist welcomed me warmly and pointed out to me that I had just missed Eric Carr by half an hour In the adjoining office I could see Bill Aucoin sitting in his chair and making a phone call with his feet on the desk The receptionist gave me posters and stickers and autographed photos In 1983 I saw KISS live in concert and without their make up By that time Vinnie Vincent was the lead guitarist The fact that I don t remember much about that show speaks for itself It must have been a pretty ordinary presentation and not particularly KISS In October 1984 I was in London My mum s side of the family live here so I get to come to London quite often Anyway I saw the second show at Wembley Arena now with Bruce Kulick who at that point was still only a temporary fill in It was a solid energetic show but nowhere near as spectacular as in the make up days The day after the show a friend and I were invited to Sky Channel studios It had been arranged for us to visit the studio meet VJ Pat Sharp and get a look behind the curtains But the day turned out quite different First we actually went on the show as Pat s guests Second while we were hanging around in the lobby in the afternoon waiting to meet the other VJ Gary Davis something quite surprising happened When after what had seemed like hours the door opened and we expected Gary to step in a tall figure with long hair marched in said Hi and sat down on a chair opposite from me and my friend It was PAUL STANLEY We weren t quite over the initial shock yet when the door opened again and GENE SIMMONS came in He sat down next to me and smiled I said something like Wow this is incredible We ve been KISS fans for ages and now we finally get to meet you I told Paul that I had really enjoyed the previous night s show and he nodded his approval Gene in the meantime had spotted my copy of Kerrang magazine and asked me if he could have a look at it He read Dante Bonutto s review of the first concert and smiled a lot Then a man came in and offered refreshments Paul had a Coke Gene had water We all sat there waiting for something to happen Paul and Gene had a pile of black and white photos with them the group shot from the back cover of Animalize and signed them Of course my friend and I got our copies After a while a young woman entered It became apparent that she was very friendly with Paul He suddenly started singing Barry Manilow s Mandy but with slightly altered lyrics Oh Mandy you came once you came twice you came all night And winking at the woman whose name obviously was Mandy he said Next time bring your sister too Ah the lives rock stars lead When Gary Davis finally turned up the mystery of Paul and Gene s presence at Sky Channel was solved KISS were to host a show together with Gary chat about this and that with a few video clips thrown in Supposedly Eric and Bruce were downstairs somewhere We all went downstairs to the studio where we met Bruce and Eric Bruce turned out to be shy and gentle and was genuinely pleased when I told him how well he suited the band When I asked him to sign on the photo showing Mark St John not Bruce he scribbled his name very modestly on the top right corner away from the others Eric on the other hand was as funny as you d expect him to be Bear in mind that I was holding my magazine and the photo my friend was holding a camera and Eric himself was holding a can of Coke plus a little artificial bird that he wanted to stick on his shoulder for the show We tried to do this with string but the bird wouldn t stand up properly Eric engaged us in a hilarious little swapping game He handed me the Coke so he could get hold of the bird asked for my friend s camera while giving him the bird I had to hand him the magazine took the camera off Eric who in turn placed the Coke in my friend s hands and you get the picture Finally the bird wound up on Eric s leather bracelet and you can actually see it on his right wrist when you watch the show closely He named the bird Brenda the parrot and at the end of the show you can see Eric pluck the poor thing Me and my friend also got our autographs The director asked Bruce to shave as he showed considerable stubble and then the four of them were made up for the show As KISS and Gary Davis did their antics we stood nearby right next to Mark the producer of the show He was very pleased and said What a professional band they are It s true almost all of the show was done in first takes it all went very smoothly Later on we were all hanging around Another woman had appeared out of nowhere she seemed to be very friendly with Gene There was laughter and singing but suddenly a man said All right let s get moving you ve got to do a radio interview He pointed out that KISS were already late I jumped up and said Please can we take your picture It was Gene who replied Sure but you ve got to hurry We all stepped outside I stood right next to KISS and said to my bewildered friend Quick take a picture He had one more exposure on his film that was it so there was no chance of taking two photos He looked around for someone to take the camera but somehow everybody else had gone back into the building or hopped into one of the two waiting limousines so my friend reluctantly took the picture It didn t come out very well but that s life In 1995 I attended a Kiss Konvention in Lausanne Switzerland Special guest was Ace Frehley who readily answered all questions no matter how often he must have heard some of them So much for my KISS encounters I have seen them in concert five times twice during the reunion tour in 1996 and 1997 I own all their albums original vinyl releases and I also have the 1979 Ibanez Paul Stanley guitar of which I m very proud I used to have thousands of photos and articles cut out of magazines as well as posters but I ve cut down on those considerably Still I have remained a KISS fan to this day I smile when I think back to when I was eleven years old and my parents would say It s a passing craze he will be over KISS in two years time They were never wronger So I hope you enjoyed my story I would love to hear from you for unbelievable as it seems nobody in my circle of friends is into KISS I m 34 years old

Allycat allycat kissonline net or demonallycat hotmail com When two or more KISS fans get together one of the first questions asked is quot how long have you parasite2 jpg 16368 bytes Alyson and tribute band Parasite been a fan quot It was such a question asked of me that prompted this article With the reunion of the original line up it is inevitable for us long time fans to look back to our youth and remember where we were and what we were doing when we first saw or heard KISS I first heard KISS in the autumn of 1975 and went to my first concert in 1976 1976 when Labour were in power Thatcher was just a Tory minister the economy was on a downward trend glam rock was on it 146 s way out and the music world was still awaiting the emergence of Punk Rock I was 15 yrs old the world still looked a rosy place and we still had rock music Drugs were something rock stars took and we just read about alcohol was the odd shared bottle of cider behind our parent 146 s backs and the sexual revolution was something that had happened elsewhere and we were eagerly awaiting it to happen to us It was into this idyllic teenage life that KISS erupted I first came across KISS the day I broke my ankle I was staying overnight with a friend sleeping in her brother 146 s empty room since he was away I had fallen into bed that night tired and still dressed after partying without turning on the light I awoke the next morning and opened jaded eyes to find myself inches from the wall starring at this creature with a white face and black bat like markings In my half awake state I screeched out a cry of surprise jumped up off the bed and caught up in the bedclothes fell to the floor and broke my ankle The picture I had reacted to was none other then Gene Simmons in full KISS make up and costume Later on in hospital my friend 146 s brother brought me in a present as a peace offering 150 The KISS Alive album This was the first time I had heard KISS and despite the broken ankle I was hooked In May 1976 KISS came to the UK and did 4 dates on tour 2 of which were at the Hammersmith Odeon Having cajoled my parents into getting me tickets my friends and I found ourselves in London on a May evening eagerly awaiting the event but not sure what we were letting ourselves in for We had heard rumors of what could happen at a live KISS show but our experience to date had been with the likes of Deep Purple Led Zeppelin Slade and other Glam rock bands The UK had never experienced anything like KISS until now The atmosphere of the place was electric and the anticipation was growing exponentially with every minute 150 then KISS exploded onto the stage Though the full US style show couldn 146 t be brought to the smaller UK arenas what we witnessed that evening in May 1976 was out of this world Try to imagine what it was like to be there KISS music had only recently hit our shores a year or so previously and wasn 146 t as big yet as in the States UK glam rock was on the wane and concerts had been tame affairs for a while To a 15 year old who didn 146 t know much about KISS or the US at this point it was one hell of an experience and a totally mind blowing introduction to the phenomena that is KISS We were lucky to have tickets near the front and were visually and audibly blasted with classic tracks such as Strutter Black Diamond Firehouse God of Thunder Rock 145 n 146 Roll all Nite and more Not many feet in front of me were Gene Paul Ace and Peter in full make up and costume belting out their best They were dynamic energetic sexy and very very loud They were what we had been waiting for a fantasy come alive an attitude and a way of life which this bunch of 15 year olds eagerly embraced KISS were larger than life heroes to us that night who gave us the means to travel another dimension for a few hours We had heard the music beforehand but to see these four guys up there on the stage providing us with music and entertainment was something that words are incapable of describing Gene stomping around the stage sticking out that tongue and spitting blood Paul gyrating and inviting the audience to love him Ace playing amazing riffs on a smoking guitar and Peter hammering away behind this enormous drum kit I have seen KISS live a number of times since that May night in 1976 have remained a fan since my teens listened to all their recordings but nothing can ever match that first concert that first exposure that first experience of KISS LIVE Then again 133 133 133 133 133 133 133 133 133 Maybe something could match up 150

the music scene back in the seventies so that will give you an idea of my age I was not caught up to heavily in their make up less era or when Vinnie and Eric and others were around but have loved their recent tour s back in costume I am glad to see the four original members back together again and that they have worked out their differences I have a great and TRUE KISS story to tell I am from Vancouver BC Canada about 18 months ago they came into to town on their reunion tour WOW I had forgotten how fantastic their stage show really was since it was a number of years since I had attended one of their concerts Fire lights flashpots lasers blood hydraulic stages smashing guitars burning guitars the whole works What a show I managed to get 2nd row seats not that I ever sat down dead center stage right in front of Paul As I arrived at the concert I decided to check out the local talent I noticed right in front of us I was nbsp there with another male friend of mine were two very scantily clad nbsp and very shapely young women in their mid twenties Now when I say scantily clad I am talking string bikinis and an overcoat It was nbsp late summer so with Vancouver s climate they had to cover up for the nbsp early fall weather tongue in cheek During the concert these two girls sat quietly in front of us I found it very strange that all they did was sit there at the odd time applauding certain songs This remained the case until Gene Simmons broke into God of Thunder suspended high in the rafters of the arena from a cable The two girls jumped up and tore off their over coats to proudly display their very fantastic bodies My friend and I could hardly contain ourselves You want to talk about perfection these girls were a twelve on a scale of ten I am not talking about plastic and silicone I am talking god s perfection I would say that one of them measured around 40DD 24 32 and the other was about 38D 22 32 both of them were about 5 10 quot tall Here they were standing and dancing in front of us almost nude if not for the dental floss they called a bikini while Gene and the boys pounded out God of Thunder What a site This continued until the band slowed things down and played Beth At this point the two girls got up and removed what clothing they had left on Here I was a normal at least as normal as I could be at this point in the show Canadian born and raised red blooded guy standing behind two incredibly beautiful and completely naked women with exception of the high heeled shoes Well of course this quickly attracted the attention of the security guards standing in front of the stage not to mention Peter Criss and the boys sitting on the edge of the stage handing out roses Gene got up and walked over to one of the stage hands and whispered something to him at which point the stage hand proceeded to the two girls and escorted them to side of the stage where they were never to be seen again What an nbsp experience Great Band Great Music Incredibly Beautiful Women What more could an average red blooded Canadian boy ask for That s nbsp next After the show my friend and I decided to hang around and watch the stage crew tear down the massive assortment of rigging lights and nbsp sound equipment About an hour and a half later who should appear nbsp from the depths of the arena but the same two girls that had nbsp quot performed quot in front of us I guess someone had given them some nbsp clothing to put on as they were now wearing thigh length KISS nbsp T shirts Not one to give up on an opportunity I promptly walked nbsp over to the two of them and asked them if they would like to join my nbsp friend and I for drinks at one of the local bars They agreed The four of us then proceeded to one of local watering holes Here I nbsp was with an absolutely beautiful women dressed in an over coat a KISS nbsp T shirt high heeled shoes and nothing else I asked her what happened nbsp when they were whisked her away backstage and she told me that was a nbsp secret between her and Gene I just wonder what could have happened nbsp She was beautiful I had never seen a shape like that before and a nbsp face that needed very little make up as it bordered on perfection nbsp Actually she reminded me a lot of Jane Seymour the actress We spent nbsp the remainder of the night together and the rest is a secret between nbsp her and I So that is my KISS story Feel free to put it on your web site if you nbsp like Back To KISStories KISStories Bob Canada KISStories Bob Canada KISStories Bob Canada KISStories

database system one of MySQL 3 22 or higher PostgreSQL 7 0 3 or higher preferably 7 1 x or 7 2 x MS SQL Server 7 or 2000 directly or via ODBC MS Access 2000 or XP via ODBC PHP 3 0 9 and above or preferably a recent 4 x with support for the database you intend to use above If your server or hosting account does not meet the requirements above I am afraid phpBB 2 0 is not for you 3 New Installations Installation of phpBB 2 will vary according to your server and database If you have shell access to your account via telnet or ssh for example you may want to upload the entire phpBB 2 archive in binary mode to a directory on your host and unarchive it there If you do not have shell access or do not wish to use it you will need to decompress the phpBB 2 archive to a local directory on your system using your favourite compression program e g winzip rar zip etc From there you must FTP ALL the files it contains being sure to retain the directory structure and filenames to your host Please ensure that the cases of filenames are retained do NOT force filenames to all lower or upper case doing so will cause errors later All php inc sql cfg and htm files should be uploaded in ASCII mode while all graphics should be uploaded in BINARY mode If you are unfamiliar with what this means please refer to your FTP client documentation In most cases this is all handled transparantly by your ftp client but if you encounter problems later you should be sure the files where uploaded correctly as described here phpBB2 comes supplied with English as its standard language However a number of seperate packs for different languages are available If you are not a native English speaker you may wish to install one or more of these packages before continuing The installation process below will allow you to select a default language from those available you can of course change this default at a later stage For more details of language packs where to obtain them and how to install them please see the README Once all the files have been uploaded to your site you should point your browser at this location with the addition of install install php please note that if you changed the extension from php see Section 3 i below you should alter install php appropriately For example if your domain name is www mydomain tld and you placed phpBB 2 in a directory phpBB2 off your web root you would enter http www mydomain tld phpBB2 install install php into your browser When you have done this you should see the phpBB 2 Installation screen appear 3 i Changing the file extension If the file extension used to execute PHP scripts on your server is NOT php but for example php3 or phtml you should first rename ALL files ending in php and change the value of phpEx in extension inc In the vast majority of cases this step will be unncessary 3 ii Replacing an old phpBB 1 x install NOTE you should NOT place phpBB 2 files into the same directory as any previous installation of phpBB 1 x Create a new directory or move your old phpBB 1 x out of the way failure to do this will result in runtime errors 3 iii Installing on MySQL 3 and 4 PostgreSQL 7 x MS SQL 7 2000 inc via ODBC Before proceeding with installation you should ensure you have a database available Most good hosting accounts now come with at least one database as part of the basic package although it may need to be setup before first use Ask your provider for details if you are unsure whether you do or not If you are running your own server and are unsure how to create a database you should refer to your SQL servers documentation or website e g http www mysql com doc http www postgresql org users lounge etc If your database server is MySQL PLEASE ensure you select the appropriate version from the dropdown box Do NOT select MySQL 4 x if you have MySQL 3 x the most common type installed if in doubt select MySQL 3 x 3 iv Installing on MS Access 2000 XP Before you install phpBB 2 you need to create a Data Source Name or DSN The exact way to do this will depend on your hosting provider if you are unsure you should check with them before proceeding In general though you should create a System DSN which points to the location where you have stored an unarchived copy of the ms access primer mdb file this is contained in the ms access primer zip which can be found in install schemas The name you give this DSN will be used during installation Do not proceed until this step is complete Please note that MS Access support is not designed for busy boards If you anticipate more than one or two users being online at any given time you should upgrade to a more robust server solution 3 v Entering required data Once you have reached the installation page you need to fill out several fields Be sure to select the right database type If you do not have or do not know the database name database server etc please check with your hosting provider For non ODBC databases the database server is typically localhost but this is NOT universal If you are using an ODBC based database such as MS Access or MSSQL via ODBC you should enter the DSN here see 2 iv The database prefix allows you to enter a few characters short name etc which all tables used by this installation will be prefixed with The default phpbb will usually be fine However if you have more than one copy of phpBB 2 using the same database be sure to alter it or you will receive errors during installation The remaining information is personal to you and your site You will need to enter a username and password for the initial administration account more administrators can be created later The server name server port and script path are essential because all emails containing URLs will use these values The installer will guess initial values however they may not be correct so be sure to check them Remember that a domain or server name does NOT include http Enter just the domain name eg www mydomain tld and NOT http www mydomain tld The server port can in the great majority of cases be left as 80 this is the standard http port However if your web server listens to a different port because for example port 80 is blocked then alter this appropriately The script path is the relative path from your webroot where phpBB 2 is installed e g if you install phpBB 2 into phpBB 2 in your webroot then enter phpBB 2 or phpBB 2 as the script path 3 vi Completing installation Once you have checked all the data press submit The installation script will create and populate all the necessary tables It will then attempt to write to the config php file which will contain the basic configuration data used to run phpBB 2 If the installer cannot write config php directly you will be given the option of either downloading the file or even FTPing it to the correct location If you choose to download you should then re upload the file to your server overwriting the existing config php in the process If you attempt to FTP via the install script you should supply the requested information Should FTP fail you will be able to download the file and then re upload as described earlier During the installation procedure phpBB 2 will check to ensure the relevant PHP database module is available and will not proceed if it cannot be found Should this happen be sure to check you have selected the correct database and or ask your hosting provider for advice Do not proceed untill the installation is completed and if necessary you have uploaded the config php file 4 Upgrade from phpBB 1 4 x Before upgrading we heavily recommend you do a full backup of your database If you are unsure how to achieve this please ask your hosting provider for advice One you have backed up your database you should follow the basic instructions given for New Installations above However instead of selecting Install as the Installation Method you should select Upgrade As with install the upgrade is automated The config php will be written automatically if possible else you will be able to download a copy as with New Installation above Once the config php is in place everything should proceed without error Please note that this upgrading process may take quite some time and depending on your hosting provider this may result in it failing due to web server or other timeout issues If this is the case you should ask your provider if they are willing to allow the upgrade script to temporarily exceed their limits be nice and they will probably be quite helpful Once completed your board should be immediately available If you encountered errors you should restore your original database and report the problems to our bug tracker or seek help via our forums see README for details 5 Upgrade from phpBB 2 0 beta 1 Sorry but no direct upgrade is available from beta 1 we did warn you If you are reasonably confident with the use of SQL etc you may be able to make the required changes to the database manually You will need to examine the CVS check ins to determine what needs changing where 6 Upgrade from previous Release Candidate versions of phpBB 2 Upgrading from these versions is generally quite easy First you should make a copy of your existing config php keep it in a safe place Next delete all the existing phpBB 2 files do not leave any in place otherwise you may encounter errors later You can leave alternative templates in place but you should note they may not function correctly with the final release It is therefore recommended you switch back to subSilver if you are currently using a different style With this complete you can upload the new phpBB 2 0 0 files see New Installations for details if necessary Once complete copy back your saved config php replacing the new one You should now run install update to 210 php which depending on your previous version will make a number of database changes You may receive FAILURES during this procedure they should not be a cause for concern unless you see an actual ERROR in which case the script will stop in this case you should seek help via our forums or bug tracker RC 2 and below MSSQL users please note that during the update procedure your existing forums table will be dropped and re created All data in standard fields will be retained However if you have modified the forums table and added additional fields or altered existing ones these changes WILL be lost If this is a significant issue for you we advise you comment out the DROP FORUM TABLE section in update to 210 php and instead manually alter the forum id column to remove the IDENTITY setting if it exists Once the update to 210 php has completed you MUST proceed to the Administration General Configuration panel and check all the values in General Configuration This is essential if you were running any version before RC 3 since extra information needs to be entered to enable correct URLs to be output in emails 6 i Changes in language pack format and templates Please note that changes have been made to the format of language image localisations and templates from previous RC s to FINAL If you were running a release candidate prior to RC 3 you will need to download new language and image localisation packs You can safely delete any existing lang gif files in the subSilver images directory since these are no longer utilised If you are using or have installed any 3rd party template set you must either remove it or update it Changes have been made to a number of template variables which will result in these not working unless they have been updated to meet phpBB 2 0 x standards 7 Upgrade from previous stable released versions of phpBB 2 If you are currently using a stable release of phpBB 2 updating to this version is straightforward You would have downloaded one of three packages and your choice determines what you need to do Please Note That before upgrading we heavily recommend you do a full backup of your database and existing phpBB2 source files If you are unsure how to achieve this please ask your hosting provider for advice MySQL Users Please Note Changes introduced in 2 0 4 may increase the size of your database more specifically the search wordmatch table There are other changes in that release which are designed to reduce the database size However these additional changes may not apply to all types of forum particularly non English boards While any increases will be relatively small compared to the overall database size it may be an issue for some users In particular users on hosting plans which limit database size and where the database is near that limit 7 i Full package If you have downloaded the full package you should follow the same general upgrade path as for Upgrade from previous Release Candidate versions of phpBB 2 The exception to this being the need to switch or update styles In addition there is generally little need to visit the admin panel though it is adviseable 7 ii Changed files only This package contains a number of archives each contains the files changed from a given release to 2 0 11 You should select the appropriate archive for your current version e g if you currently have 2 0 10 you should select the phpBB 2 0 10 to 2 0 11 zip tar gz file The directory structure has been preserved enabling you if you wish to simply upload the contents of the archive to the appropriate location on your server i e simply overwrite the existing files with the new versions Do not forget that if you have installed any Mods these files will overwrite the originals possibly destroying them in the process You will need to re add Mods to any affected file before uploading As for the other upgrade procedures you should run install update to 210 php after you have finished updating the files This will update your database schema and data if appropriate and increment the version number 7 iii Patch file The patch file is probably the best solution for those with many Mods or other changes who do not want to re add them back to all the changed files To use this you will need command line access to a standard UNIX type patch application A number of patch files are provided to allow you to upgrade from previous stable releases Select the correct patch e g if your current version is 2 0 10 you need the phpBB 2 0 10 to 2 0 11 patch Place the correct patch in the parent directory containing the phpBB 2 core files i e index php viewforum php etc With this done you should run the following command patch cl d PHPBB DIRECTORY p1 lt PATCH NAME where PHPBB DIRECTORY is the directory name your phpBB Installation resides in for example phpBB2 and where PATCH NAME is the relevant filename of the selected patch file This should complete quickly hopefully without any HUNK FAILED comments If you do get failures you should look at using the Changed files only package to replace the files which failed to patch please note that you will need to manually re add any Mods to these particular files Alternatively if you know how you can examine the rej files to determine what failed where and make manual adjustments to the relevant source You should of course delete the patch file or files after use As for the other upgrade procedures you should run install update to 210 php after you have finished updating the files This will update your database schema and data if appropriate and increment the version number 7 iv All package types If you have non English language packs installed you may want to see if a new version has been made available A number of missing strings have been added which though not essential may be beneficial to users Please note that at this time not all language packs have been updated so you should be prepared to periodically check for updates 8 Important security related post Install tasks for all installation methods Once you have succssfully installed phpBB 2 0 11 you MUST ensure you remove the entire install and contrib directories Leaving these in place is a very serious potential security issue which may lead to deletion or alteration of files etc Please note that until these directories are remove phpBB2 will not operate and a warning message will be displayed Beyond these essential deletions you may also wish to delete the docs directories if you wish With these directories deleted you should proceed to the administration panel Depending on how the installation completed you may have been directed there automatically If not login as the administrator you specified during install upgrade and click the Administration Panel link at the bottom of any page Ensure that details specified in General Configuration are correct 8 i Uploadable avatars phpBB 2 supports several methods for allowing users to select their own avatar an avatar is a small image generally unique to a user and displayed just below their username in posts Two of these options allow users to upload an avatar from their machine or a remote location via a URL If you wish to enable this function you should first ensure the correct paths for uploadeable avatars is set in Admin General Configuration Avatars By default this is images avatars but you can set it to whatever you like just ensure the configuration setting is updated You must also ensure this directory can be written to by the webserver Usually this means you have to alter its permissions to allow anyone to read and write to Exactly how you should do this depends on your ftp client or server operating system On UNIX systems for example you set the directory to a rwx or ugo rwx or even 777 This can be done from a command line on your server using chmod or via your FTP client using the Change Permissions chmod or other Permissions dialoge box see your FTP clients documentation for help Most FTP clients list permissions in the form of User Read Write Execute Group Read Write Execute and Other Read Write Execute You need to tick all of these boxes to set correct permissions On Windows system you need to ensure the directory is not write protected and that it has global write permissions see your servers documentation or contact your hosting provider if you are unsure on how to achieve this Please be aware that setting a directories permissions to global write access is a potential security issue While it is unlikely that anything nasty will occur such as all the avatars being deleted there are always people out there out to cause trouble Therefore you should monitor this directory and if possible make regular backups 8 ii Safe Mode phpBB 2 0 11 includes support for using uploadable avatars on systems running PHP in safe mode If this applies to your hosting service you will need to create a sub directory called tmp in the directory you specified for storage of uploaded avatars by default this is images avatars as explained above Give it the same access rights as for uploadable avatars above This safe mode support includes compatibility with various directory restrictions your host may impose assuming they are not too restrictive and that the PHP installed is version 4 0 3 or later There is generally no need for any manual setup for safe mode support it is typically handled transparantly 8 iii Optional extras Included with this package are two extra optional files you will find them in the contrib directory These extras template file cache php and template db cache php address concerns over server load and page generation times on slower or heavily loaded systems These updated template modules compile each template and uses this rather than compiling each file everytime it is viewed Tests seem to indicate a noticeable decrease in page generation times and more importantly a significant decrease in overall server load in virtual hosting environments You should see the README contained within the contrib directory for more details 9 Copyright and disclaimer This application is

commonly asked questions It is by no means exhaustive and should be used in combination with the built in User FAQ within phpBB2 the community forums particularly the Tutorials forum and our IRC channel see README for details I cannot install this it is too difficult Will you do it Simple answer no we will not We are not being difficult when we say this we are actually trying to help you phpBB has a reputation for being easy to install that reputation is we believe well deserved It is a simple process of unarchiving a single file uploading the resulting directory files to their intended location and entering some data in a web based form The sequence of events what to type where etc is covered in detail in the accompanying INSTALL html documentation If you cannot install phpBB 2 0 x the chances are you will be unable to administer or update it There are people companies unrelated to your hosting provider etc that will install your forum either for free or for a payment We do not recommend you make use of these offers Unless the service is provided by your hosting company you will have to divulge passwords and other sensitive details If you did not know how to use an ATM would you give a passer by your bank card and PIN and ask them to show you what to do No probably not The same applies to your hosting account details We think a better solution is for you to carefully read the enclosed documentation read our tutorials forum at www phpbb com and if necessary ask for help on any thing you get stuck on However the decision is yours but please note we may not offer support if we believe you have had the board installed by a third party In such cases you should direct your questions to that company or person s How do I install this board on Lycos coolfreepages other free host The old addage You get what you pay for is particularly true for hosting services However if you must use a free service and recognise its limitations you will find details on common pitfalls in our tutorials forum at http www phpbb com phpBB I am having problems with the admin at a certain board help A board has ripped off my graphics software etc stop them A board is dealing in warez porn etc you need to prevent them doing this We provide the software we have absolutely nothing to do with any board that runs it beyond phpbb com of course The GPL grants the user an unlimited right of use subject to their adherence of that licence Therefore we cannot prevent dictate control or otherwise limit the use of phpBB 2 software So please do not contact us for such matters If you have a problem with a given board please take it up with them not us We are not and cannot be held legally responsible for any third party use of this software much like Microsoft et al cannot be held responsible for the use of Windows in illegal activities etc Additionally we do not track the use of phpBB software in any way So please do not ask us for details on a given board we will not be able to help you If any law firms or lawyers out there send us writs Cease and Desist orders etc for third party website use of this software we reserve the right to charge for time wasted dealing with such issues According to viewonline a user is doing reading something they should not be able to No they probably are not phpBB uses sessions to keep track of users as they move between pages The session information tells us who this user is Therefore in order to determine what a user can do on a page we first need the session details Once this data is available we can check whether the user is permitted to do whatever it is they are trying to do This can result in it appearing as if a user is reading a topic in a forum they should not be able to access Or perhaps viewing private messages when they are only guests etc In practice the user is not doing these things they are viewing a You are not permitted to do this type message The session data has simply been updated before we were able to determine what the user could or could not do Of course this only applies where permissions have been set correctly I keep getting Mail sending errors when I or my users post send PM s etc This error will occur if phpBB cannot send mail phpBB can send email two ways using the PHP mail function or directly via SMTP Some hosting providers limit the mail function to prevent its use in spamming others may rename it or limit its functionality In either case you may need to make use of SMTP This requires that you have access to such a facility e g your hosting provider may provide one perhaps requiring specific written authorisation etc Note that if your provider requires authorisation we only support the simple AUTH method using plaintext username password We do not support secure sockets layer SSL POP3 send or any other method Please see http www phpbb com phpBB for additional help on this matter If you do require SMTP services please do not ask on our forums or elsewhere for someone to provide you with one Open relays are now things of the past thanks to the unthinking spammers out there Therefore you are unlikely to find someone willing to offer you free services My users are complaining that emails are not in their selected language You must have deleted a language pack or the language pack is incomplete phpBB will try to send emails in the users selected language If it cannot find a suitable email template it will switch to the boards default language The first four letters of my text disappeared when I hit submit Some forms in phpBB make use of arrays to post or submit data e g polls forum management etc A bug exists in PHP 4 2 3 and perhaps older versions which can cause such data to lose the first four characters of text This bug is related to the presence of the mbstring module and certain compile time parameters the problem exists for both compiled in and modular version of mbstring Please see http bugs php net bug php id 19460 for more details Note the bug is fixed in PHP CVS and thus future versions should be immune Remember this is not a bug in phpBB 2 My AOL based users keep getting logged out phpBB2 uses sessions to keep track of users as they browse the board These sessions use a combination of a unique session id and the users IP to identify each user We make use of the IP as an extra safe guard to help prevent sessions being hijacked by discovering the unique session id Unfortunately this only works when the users IP is constant as they browse the board For most users this will be the case However certain providers route their users via a cluster of proxys In some cases particularly AOL this results in different IPs being forwarded as the user moves between pages We take account of this by not checking the entire IP but only the first three quads Again in most cases this will be fine However again AOL uses IPs which can vary so much that checking only the first two quads results in a fairly static IP being available for session validation If you are experiencing problems related to this you can make a small change to the code Please note that reducing the IP validation length does potentially increase the risk of sessions being hijacked this is something for you to consider phpBB Group takes no responsibility should anything happen The change requires you to open the file sessions php in the includes directory of the distribution Find line 250 it contains the following ip check s substr userdata session ip 0 6 change this to ip check s substr userdata session ip 0 4 You need to make exactly the same change to the number 6 in the next line Save the file and upload it if required This should reduce or eliminate the problem noted I selected X for my timezone but the time is not correct I suspect the time is correct but that you may have switched locally to daylight savings time At present we do not support daylight savings only standard local times Therefore during summer months depending on whether your nation state switches to daylight savings the board times may appear to be one hour behind the real local time The solution is to either put up with it just let your users know or to move the timezone of everyone who is affected remember that not all your users may be from nations who have switched to daylight savings on one hour eg GMT becomes GMT 1 This requires running some SQL and you should search our forums for information If this is not the case then I suspect your servers time is at fault phpBB 2 stores all times in the form of a unix timestamp This is a 32bit integer value containing the number of seconds since the unix epoch event 1st January 1970 00 00 00 GMT This value is global in nature and will be the same wherever you are in the world So if your time is incorrect and you have selected the appropriate timezone chances are your server time is off I am seeing amp nnnn sequences output instead of what I typed To enable compliance with HTML and XHTML specifications as well as enabling browsers to automatically support a users selected language we enable a charset tag to be output to the browser This identifies the primary character set the user has selected eg iso 8859 1 for Western European languages English German French etc windows 1251 for Cyrillic alphabets Russian Bulgarian etc and so on The downside to doing this is that most modern browsers such as Internet Explorer convert any character not present in that character set into what are termed Numerical Character References or NCR s These take the form of amp nnnn where nnnn is the hexadecimal number of that characters UNICODE reference Unfortunately PHP which effectively supports only iso 8859 1 at this time does not appear to attempt to process this data back into normal characters Therefore phpBB treats them as text the user has entered and wishes to see phpBB enables this by turning the amp into amp amp This results in the characters appearing as they do Although we could ignore amp nnnn there are pro s and of course con s to doing so at present we don t If you are finding this to be problem the solution is to remove the charset S CONTENT ENCODING text from all the header tpl template files in all templates The downside to this is a users browser will not automatically switch its charset to that selected by the user however this is unlikely to be a big problem since users typically run their browser by default in the language they wish to use Alternatively you can modify the lang ENCODING entry in the appropriate language file Until PHP and all browsers trully support UNICODE these problems will persist across all boards I cannot search for certain words phpBB 2 uses a Fulltext search system this has both advantages and disadvantages The advantage is that on large or busy forums it has far less impact on server load than standard search methods as used by many alternative forums including phpBB 1 x The disadvantage is that to reduce the size of the database every post is examined and unique words stored in a table we have to limit the size and type of words we store By default words must contain at least three characters but no more than 25 they must be either alpha or combinations of alpha and numerals numbers alone are not stored In addition all non alphanumeric characters are removed eg etc This is standard practice for fulltext search solutions A further downside is that non latin alphabets eg Cyrillic Greek etc require proper locale support to be compiled in and available on the server your board is running on If this is not the case it is quite likely that words will not be properly indexed for storage In many cases this can be recified by altering the setlocale LC ALL LOCALE HERE statement in the appropriate language file If you are experiencing problems you should change whatever is currently in place of LOCALE HERE with the locale as available on your server If you do not know this please ask your hosting provider Some examples may be ru RU WIN CP 1251 for the codepage used for the Russian translation ko KOI8 for Korean etc Please note that support for multibyte character sets remains very limited in PHP4 and therefore Japanese Chinese etc may have difficulty getting the fulltext search working correctly at all My screen is filled with errors when I try to view the forum Are they errors Are you sure they are not warnings They probably are What you re seeing is PHP warn you about unset variables Great care has been taken with phpBB 2 0 to ensure it is secure Unset variables while being a potential security risk really shouldn t be in 2 0 Unfortunately some hosting providers have decided that any unset variables equal security problems and force PHP to output these warnings even though phpBB 2 0 is set to ignore them We have worked some way toward checking and or setting all variables before use but this will take time to complete if it can be Therefore I am afraid for the time being you will have to manually modify the code or ask your hosting provider to be more realistic with their setup How do I use the avatar settings There are three types of avatar upload remote and local Upload types require you to create a directory the default is images avatars and to set this to public read write ie chmod a rw users can then upload avatars subject to width height and size limits definable by you Remote avatars allow the user to supply a URI pointing to an image available on the internet PLEASE NOTE that size limits do not apply to remote avatars Local avatars allow you to upload your own avatars to a set directory users can then pick from this avatar gallery The default location for this is images avatars gallery PLEASE NOTE that avatars are categorised according to sub folders in this location ie you MUST place your avatars in subdirectories eg images avatars gallery cartoons images avatars gallery real life etc No matter what I set the uploadable avatars to I cannot upload one from my computer There are two possibilities here the first is you have not created the directory you specified as the storage location for avatars ie as specified in the Admin General Configuration Avatars section If the directory does not exist uploadeable avatars are automatically disabled You should create the required directory ensuring it has global write access or other appropriate permissions to allow the webserver to write files to it The second possibility is that your provider has disabled file upload support possibly because of a recently found serious security issue with PHP before version 4 1 2 You should contact your provider and ask them if this is the case It may be unrelated to the security issue and your provider has simply decided to disable such things in general In either case I m afraid there is not a lot you can do there are still three other avatar settings left to choose from including uploading via a URL which will work fine I just cannot get gallery avatars to appear Chances are you have not followed our instructions above phpBB 2 categorises gallery avatars and it does this by reading through folders contained in the location you specified as being the gallery path For example if you set the gallery path to images avatars gallery phpBB 2 will expect to find a series of folders within that path eg images avatars gallery moviestars images avatars gallery cartoons images avatars gallery misc etc Placing images directly in images avatars gallery will result in nothing being listed in your gallery How do I set forum permissions You set forum permissions from the administration control panel Forums Permissions This system has two modes of operation Simple and Advanced Simple uses a set of pre defined authorisation levels these set each type of authorisation setting to a specific level Advanced settings allow you to specify individual levels for each operation in each forum Experiment How do I set user and group permissions These are set from Admin Users Groups Permissions The system may appear strange but it s very powerful When you look up a user or group it will give you basic information at the top of the page followed by the available forum listing and current settings for this user You can assign moderator status to users and groups and if you have PRIVATE forums or forums with any of their individual operations set to PRIVATE you can also assign access How do I set a user group as moderator See above Why are there no entries in the user group permission Allow Access column You can only allow or deny users access to PRIVATE forums or forums which have one or more operations set to PRIVATE How come I cannot set Vote to ALL phpBB does not by default allow guest voting This was done to prevent guest users who cannot be reliably tracked from voting time and time again in the same poll There is a Mod available if you really need this feature please see our Mod forums at http www phpbb com phpBB I or my users cannot stay logged in to the forum If you or your users are after attempting a login being returned to the index or other page without appearing to be logged in the most likely problem is incorrect cookie settings phpBB 2 uses cookies to store a session id and a small amount of user data For this data to be stored correctly the cookie domain path and secure settings must be correct You can check this in Admin General Configuration Cookie settings Typically the cookie domain can be left blank and the cookie path set to a single forward slash Do not set the cookie as being secure unless your board is running over a secure sockets layer connection ie https If you still have problems try setting the cookie domain to your full domain name eg www mysystem tld www something mydomain tld You must ensure the domain name contains at least two dots or browsers will be unlikely to recognise the cookie eg mydomain com mydomain com Do not add http or anything else to the domain name My users are complaining about being logged out too quickly You can increase the default length of sessions ie how long before a users session is considered dead in Admin General Configuration Cookie Settings Session Length Set it to whatever value your users feel comfortable with remember that security issues may affect your decision ie having too long a session may allow non users to abuse your board should a user forget to logout or otherwise leave a current session on a public workstation I am having problems with HTML If you want to allow your users to make use of HTML in posts you need to do two things Firstly enable HTML in Admin General Configuration Secondly to need to make sure that the tags your users will post are in the Allowed HTML Tags field again Admin General Configuration If users post using tags not on this list they won t be displayed as HTML eg to enable someone to post Flash you could add the embed tag to this field Be careful which tags you allow it is very easy to break the boards own output if the wrong tags are used in posts Can I suggest a feature for phpBB 2 2 Yes you most certainly can phpBB 2 0 0 is now feature frozen and only bug fix releases will be made from this line However work has already started on the next release of phpBB phpBB 2 2 We already have a number of features in mind and these are listed on our task manager http sourceforge net pm task php group project id 13524 group id 7885 func browse Some of these features will also be discussed on forums at http www phpbb com phpBB To suggest a feature first consult the task list mentioned above if your idea is already listed then the chances are good that it will appear in 2 2 If your suggestion is not listed please submit it to our feature request tracker http sourceforge net tracker index php group id 7885 atid 357885 Before submitting please read through the already present suggestions if one matches or is similar to yours please add to it rather than creating a new entry We make no promises to the inclusion of features but we will endeavour to introduce the most requested or most interesting ones Why is phpBB 1 x faster than phpBB 2 0 The original phpBB 1 0 saw a very large decrease in page generation times from version 1 0 1 2 to 1 4 This was achieved by rewriting many of the SQL queries and splitting the database These changes came about from work on phpBB 2 0 With phpBB 2 0 we have introduced numerous additional functions and features not least of which is full templating the separation of page design from code This results in a slowdown from phpBB 1 4 we suspect though that the new features will outweigh the small difference in page generation times My question isn t answered here Feel free

com Editor Settings Naming Conventions Code Layout General Guidelines top Editor Settings Tabs vs Spaces In order to make this as simple as possible we will be using tabs not spaces Feel free to set how many spaces your editor uses when it displays tabs but make sure that when you save the file it s saving tabs and not spaces This way we can each have the code be displayed the way we like it without breaking the layout of the actual files Linefeeds Ensure that your editor is saving files in the UNIX format This means lines are terminated with a newline not with a CR LF combo as they are on Win32 or whatever the Mac uses Any decent Win32 editor should be able to do this but it might not always be the default Know your editor If you want advice on Windows text editors just ask one of the developers Some of them do their editing on Win32 top Naming Conventions We will not be using any form of hungarian notation in our naming conventions Many of us believe that hungarian naming is one of the primary code obfuscation techniques currently in use Variable Names Variable names should be in all lowercase with words separated by an underscore nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Example current user is right but currentuser and currentUser are not Names should be descriptive but concise We don t want huge sentences as our variable names but typing an extra couple of characters is always better than wondering what exactly a certain variable is for Loop Indices The only situation where a one character variable name is allowed is when it s the index for some looping construct In this case the index of the outer loop should always be i If there s a loop inside that loop its index should be j followed by k and so on If the loop is being indexed by some already existing variable with a meaningful name this guideline does not apply nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Example for i 0 i lt outer size i for j 0 j lt inner size j foo i j Function Names Functions should also be named descriptively We re not programming in C here we don t want to write functions called things like stristr Again all lower case names with words separated by a single underscore character Function names should preferably have a verb in them somewhere Good function names are print login status get user data etc Function Arguments Arguments are subject to the same guidelines as variable names We don t want a bunch of functions like do stuff a b c In most cases we d like to be able to tell how to use a function by just looking at its declaration Summary The basic philosophy here is to not hurt code clarity for the sake of laziness This has to be balanced by a little bit of common sense though print login status for a given user goes too far for example that function would be better named print user login status or just print login status top Code Layout Standard header for new files Here a template of the header that must be included at the start of all phpBB files filename php begin Sat June 17 2000

terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation either version 2 of the License or at your option any later version Always include the braces This is another case of being too lazy to type 2 extra characters causing problems with code clarity Even if the body of some construct is only one line long do not drop the braces Just don t nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples These are all wrong if condition do stuff if condition do stuff while condition do stuff for i 0 i lt size i do stuff i These are right if condition do stuff while condition do stuff for i 0 i lt size i do stuff Where to put the braces This one is a bit of a holy war but we re going to use a style that can be summed up in one sentence Braces always go on their own line The closing brace should also always be at the same column as the corresponding opening brace nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples if condition while condition2 else for i 0 i lt size i while condition function do stuff Use spaces between tokens This is another simple easy step that helps keep code readable without much effort Whenever you write an assignment expression etc Always leave one space between the tokens Basically write code as if it was English Put spaces between variable names and operators Don t put spaces just after an opening bracket or before a closing bracket Don t put spaces just before a comma or a semicolon This is best shown with a few examples nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples Each pair shows the wrong way followed by the right way i 0 i 0 if i lt 7 if i lt 7 if i lt 7 amp amp j gt 8 if i lt 7 amp amp j gt 8 do stuff i foo b do stuff i foo b for i 0 i lt size i for i 0 i lt size i i j lt size 0 1 i j lt size 0 1 Operator precedence Do you know the exact precedence of all the operators in PHP Neither do I Don t guess Always make it obvious by using brackets to force the precedence of an equation so you know what it does nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples what s the result who knows bool i lt 7 amp amp j gt 8 k 4 now you can be certain what I m doing here bool i lt 7 amp amp j lt 8 k 4 SQL code layout Since we ll all be using different editor settings don t try to do anything complex like aligning columns in SQL code Do however break statements onto their own lines Here s a sample of how SQL code should look Note where the lines break the capitalization and the use of brackets nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples SELECT field1 AS something field2 field3 FROM table a table b WHERE this that AND this2 that2 SQL insert statements SQL INSERT statements can be written in two different ways Either you specify explicitly the columns being inserted or you rely on knowing the order of the columns in the database and do not specify them We want to use the former approach where it is explicitly stated whcih columns are being inserted This means our application level code will not depend on the order of the fields in the database and will not be broken if we add additional fields unless they re specified as NOT NULL of course nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples This is not what we want INSERT INTO mytable VALUES something 1 else This is correct INSERT INTO mytable column1 column2 column3 VALUES something 1 else top General Guidelines Quoting strings There are two different ways to quote strings in PHP either with single quotes or with double quotes The main difference is that the parser does variable interpolation in double quoted strings but not in single quoted strings Because of this you should always use single quotes unless you specifically need variable interpolation to be done on that string This way we can save the parser the trouble of parsing a bunch of strings where no interpolation needs to be done Also if you are using a string variable as part of a function call you do not need to enclose that variable in quotes Again this will just make unnecessary work for the parser Note however that nearly all of the escape sequences that exist for double quoted strings will not work with single quoted strings Be careful and feel free to break this guideline if it s making your code harder to read nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples wrong str This is a really long string with no variables for the parser to find do stuff str right str This is a really long string with no variables for the parser to find do stuff str Associative array keys In PHP it s legal to use a literal string as a key to an associative array without quoting that string We don t want to do this the string should always be quoted to avoid confusion Note that this is only when we re using a literal not when we re using a variable nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples wrong foo assoc array blah right foo assoc array blah Comments Each function should be preceded by a comment that tells a programmer everything they need to know to use that function The meaning of every parameter the expected input and the output are required as a minimal comment The function s behaviour in error conditions and what those error conditions are should also be present Nobody should have to look at the actual source of a function in order to be able to call it with confidence in their own code In addition commenting any tricky obscure or otherwise not immediately obvious code is clearly something we should be doing Especially important to document are any assumptions your code makes or preconditions for its proper operation Any one of the developers should be able to look at any part of the application and figure out what s going on in a reasonable amount of time Magic numbers Don t use them Use named constants for any literal value other than obvious special cases Basically it s OK to check if an array has 0 elements by using the literal 0 It s not OK to assign some special meaning to a number and then use it everywhere as a literal This hurts readability AND maintainability Included in this guideline is that we should be using the constants TRUE and FALSE in place of the literals 1 and 0 even though they have the same values it s more obvious what the actual logic is when you use the named constants Shortcut operators The only shortcut operators that cause readability problems are the shortcut increment i and decrement j operators These operators should not be used as part of an expression They can however be used on their own line Using them in expressions is just not worth the headaches when debugging nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples wrong array i j array i k right i array i j array i k i Inline conditionals Inline conditionals should only be used to do very simple things Preferably they will only be used to do assignments and not for function calls or anything complex at all They can be harmful to readability if used incorrectly so don t fall in love with saving typing by using them nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples Bad place to use them i lt size amp amp j gt size do stuff foo do stuff bar OK place to use them min i lt j i j Don t use uninitialized variables for phpBB 2 we intend to use a higher level of run time error reporting This will mean that the use of an uninitialized variable will be reported as an error This will come up most often when checking which HTML form variables were passed These errors can be avoided by using the built in isset function to check whether a variable has been set nbsp nbsp nbsp Examples Old way if forum New way if isset forum Return to top phpBB Coding Standard

the popular phpBB 1.x online ...%%==%%20191%%==%%9 Dec 2004%%==%% phpBB 2 Creating Communities phpBB 2 0 11 README Thank you for downloading phpBB 2 the long awaited re write of the popular phpBB 1 x online community forum This README will guide through the basics of installation and operation of phpBB 2 Please ensure you read this and the accompanying documentation fully before proceeding with the installation Installing phpBB 2 Running phpBB 2 Internationalisation i18n Styles Mods Getting help with phpBB 2 Userguide Community Forums Internet Relay Chat Status of this version Reporting Bugs Security related bugs Overview of current bug list PHP compatibility issues Notice on PHP security issues Disclaimer 1 Installing phpBB 2 Installation and upgrade instructions can be found in the INSTALL document contained in this distribution If you are intending to upgrade from a previous phpBB 1 4 x installation we highly recommend you backup any existing data before proceeding Please note that users of Release Candidate RC versions of phpBB 2 should run the update to 205 php script BEFORE attempting to access your board Failing to do so may result in errors and unexpected behaviour While these won t do any damage they will prevent you using your board If you are using RC 1 pre you may find some other DB changes have occured and should examine the schemas to see if your installation requires any modifications note that most of these have already been discussed on the phpBB 2 forums and are handled by the update script If you are uncomfortable doing any of this we recommend you re install you may backup your existing data if you wish re install phpBB 2 and then insert your backup Users of phpBB 2 0 Beta 1 cannot directly upgrade to phpBB 2 0 RC 2 3 or 4 sorry 2 Running phpBB 2 Once installed phpBB 2 0 is easily managed by both admin and moderator control panels If you need help or advice with phpBB 2 please see Section 3 below 2 i Internationalisation i18n A number of language packs and subSilver localisations are now available You can find them on our official download page http www phpbb com downloads php This is the Official location for all support language sets If you download a package from a 3rd party site you do so with the understanding that we cannot offer support So please do not ask for help in these cases Installation of these packages is straightforward simply download the required language pack and unarchive it into the languages folder Please ensure you retain the directory structure when doing this To install the subSilver image packs you should unarchive the file s into the templates subSilver images directory again you must retain the directory structure Once installed the languages will become immediately available If your language is not available please visit our forums where you will find a topic listing translations currently available or in preparation This topic also gives you information should you wish to volunteer to translate a language not currently listed Please note that users who have upgraded to 2 0 11 from versions prior to RC 3 should will need to download new versions of the language subSilver image packs Any package downloaded prior to the availability of RC 3 will not function correctly with this version of phpBB 2 If you have upgraded from 2 0 0 and make use of non English language packs you will benefit from downloading updated versions which will become available shortly These introduce a number of strings which went missing from the first version plus a few updates and additions 2 ii Styles Although phpBB Group are rather proud of the subSilver style which has influenced many of our competitors boards updated designs we realise that it may not be to everyones tastes Therefore phpBB 2 allows styles to be switched with relative ease Firstly you need to locate and download a style you like We maintain such a site at http www phpbb com styles Please note that 3rd party styles downloaded for versions of phpBB 2 prior to its final 2 0 x release will not function correctly You should either remove these styles or if available update them to meet changes in 2 0 x Once you have downloaded a style the usual next step is to unarchive or upload the unarchived contents of the package into your templates directory You then need to visit Administration Styles Add you should see the new style available click add and it will become available for all your users 2 iii Mods Although not officially supported by phpBB Group phpBB 2 has a thriving mod formerly known as hacks scene These third party modifications to the standard phpBB 2 extend its capabilities still further and can be found at http www phpbb com mods Please remember that any bugs or other issues that occur after you have added any modification should NOT be reported to the bug tracker see below First remove the modification and see if the problem is resolved Also remember that any modifications which modify the database in any way may render upgrading your forum to future versions more difficult unless we state otherwise With all this said many users have and continue to utilise many of the mods already available with great success 3 Getting help with phpBB 2 phpBB 2 can seem a little daunting to new users in places particularly with regard the permission system The first thing you should do is check the FAQ which covers a few basic getting started questions If you need additional help there are several places you should look 3 i phpBB 2 Userguide A comprehensive userguide is now available online and can be accessed from the following location http www phpbb com guide phpBB Users Guide html This covers everything from installation through setting permissions and managing users 3 ii Community Forums phpBB Group maintains a thriving community where a number of people have generously decided to donate their time to help support users This site can be found at http www phpbb com If you do seek help via our forums please be sure to do a Search before posting This may well save both you and us time and allow the developer moderator and support groups to spend more time responding to people with unknown issues and problems Please also remember that phpBB is an entirely volunteer effort no one receives any compensation for the time they give this includes moderators as well as developers So please be respectful and mindful when awaiting responses 3 iii Internet Relay Chat Another place you may find help is our IRC channel This operates on the Openprojects IRC network irc openprojects net and the channel is phpbb and can be accessed by any good IRC client such as mIRC XChat etc Again please do not abuse this service and be respectful of other users 4 Status of this version This is the second stable release of phpBB 2 The 2 0 x line is essentially feature frozen point releases will see only bugs and such like fixed Our next major release will be phpBB 2 2 and work is progressing on this the unstable development version is 2 1 Please do not post questions asking when 2 2 will be available no release date has been set Feel free to suggest new features for phpBB 2 2 we already have a number of improvements in mind and these can be viewed using our task tracker http sourceforge net pm task php group project id 13524 group id 7885 We do not guarantee that all these will appear in 2 2 but we will do our best If your idea does not appear on this list please visit our feature request list http sourceforge net tracker atid 357885 group id 7885 Before submitting your idea please ensure you have read through the entries in that list If your idea is similar to an existing one please feel free to add a comment to it Please do not submit duplicate suggestions For some suggestions we may ask for your feedback via our forums For those interested in the development of phpBB 2 2 you should keep an eye on the community forums particularly the Feature Discussion forum where you may be able to influence the direction we take with certain new features Finally you may like to visit our development forum to see how things are progressing http area51 phpbb com phpBB 2 Please note that this forum should NOT be used to obtain support for or ask questions about phpBB 2 0 x the main community forums are the place for this Any such posts will be locked and go unanswered 5 Reporting Bugs The phpBB Group uses a bug tracking system to store list and manage all reported bugs it can be found at the location listed below Please DO NOT post bug reports to our forums they will be locked In addition please DO NOT use the bug tracker for support requests Posting such a request will only see you directed to the support forums while taking time away from working on real bugs http www phpbb com bugs While we very much appreciate receiving bug reports the more reports the more stable phpBB 2 will be we ask you carry out a few steps before adding new entries Firstly determine if your bug is reproduceable how to determine this depends on the bug in question Only if the bug is reproduceable is it likely to be a problem with phpBB 2 0 or in some way connected If something cannot be reproduced it may turn out to have been your hosting provider working on something a user doing something silly etc Bug reports for non reproduceable events can slow down our attempts to fix real reproduceable issues Next please read or search through the existing bug reports remember to check open AND closed reports to see if your bug or one very similar to it is already listed If it is please add to that existing bug rather than creating a new duplicate entry all this does is slow us down Check the forums use search to see if people have discussed anything that sounds similar to what you are seeing However as noted above please DO NOT post your particular bug to the forum unless it s non reproduceable or you are sure it s related to something you have done rather phpBB 2 0 If no existing bug exists then please feel free to add it If you do post a new bug i e one that isn t already listed in the bug tracker firstly make sure you have logged in your username and password are the same as for the community forums then please include the following details Your server type version eg Apache 1 2 22 IIS 4 Sambar etc PHP version and mode of operation eg PHP 4 1 1 as a module PHP 4 0 1 running as CGI etc DB type version eg MySQL 3 23 32 PostgreSQL 7 1 2 MSSQL Server 2000 SP1 etc Please also be as detailed as you can in your report if possible list the steps required to duplicate the problem If you have a fix which you are VERY SURE works and is consistent with our coding guidelines and does not introduce further problems or incompatibilities please let us know However only include it in the bug report if you really must if we need it we ll ask you for it Once a bug has been submitted you will be emailed any follow up comments added to it Please if you are requested to supply additional information do so It is extremely frustrating for us to receive bug reports ask for additional information but get nothing In these cases we have a policy of closing the bug which may leave a very real problem in place Obviously we would rather not have this situation arise 5 i Security related bugs If you find a potential security related vulnerability in phpBB 2 please DO NOT post it to the bug tracker public forums mailing lists etc Doing so may allow unscrupulous users to take advantage of it before we have time to put a fix in place All security related bugs should be sent directly to one or more of the developers This can be done in one of three ways email security 64 phpbb com this is forwarded to all developers PM one of the developers see Developer usergroup list for usernames of all developers or email them directly either use their listed email address if available or username 64 phpbb com where username is their board username If emailing or PM ing developers individually please send the message to several and not just one If you obtain no response in a reasonable timeframe a day or two try the other listed developers 6 Overview of current bug list This list is not complete see above link for full list but does represent those bugs which may effect users on a wider scale Other bugs listed in the tracker have typically been shown to be limited to certain setups or methods of installation upgrade First four characters of some posted content disappears this is an issue with PHP not phpBB Cannot post very large messages when using PostgreSQL 7 0 x limitation of Postgresql 7 0 x By default cannot post very large messages with MSSQL this can be configured within MSSQL Use of non latin charsets with MSSQL may result in post data being cropped unexpectedly Upgrade may fail to complete on large boards under some hosts PHP 3 compatibility issues remain and we recommend you upgrade to PHP4 as soon as possible phpBB 2 0 x will be the last version to support PHP 3 7 PHP compatibility issues Please remember that running any application on a developmental version of PHP can lead to strange unexpected results which may appear to be bugs in the application which may not be true Therefore we recommend you upgrade to the newest stable version of PHP before running phpBB 2 If you are running a developmental version of PHP please check any bugs you find on a system running a stable release before submitting This board has been developed and tested under Linux and Windows amongst others running IIS and Apache using MySQL 3 23 and 4 0 0 MSSQL Server 2000 MS Access 2000 and XP and PostgreSQL 7 x Versions of PHP used range from 4 0 6 to 4 3 8 without problem There may be unconfirmed issues with PHP 4 0 1 including patch level releases If you experience problems with phpBB and have this PHP version installed it is recommended you upgrade it before posting bug reports With the recent release of the official version of PHP 5 people and hosts may be switching to the latest PHP version At this moment the phpBB Team does not officially support running phpBB on PHP 5 as phpBB2 0 x was not written with PHP 5 in mind However many users have reported using it sucessfully on PHP 5 having made a configuration change in PHP to enable support for the deprecated HTTP VARS arrays which is turned off by default in new PHP 5 installations The relevant configuration option is register long arrays and it is decribed in the PHP Manual phpBB 2 0 x makes use of these arrays in order to maintain backwards compatibility with PHP 3 x and early versions of PHP 4 x which is part of the original specification For this reason we do not support PHP 5 as platform for phpBB It has been reported working so you can try it It s a risk you will be taking though 7 i Notice on PHP security issues At the end of February 2002 a major security issue was found with PHP 3 and 4 which has resulted in many hosting providers disabling file uploads although patches fixing the security issues are available and new versions of PHP 4 have been released Because of this and to cope with situations where hosts didn t allow such uploads anyway we have implemented various checks in phpBB 2 These checks prevent you from enabling or making use of functions which will not operate correctly on PHP as installed on your server At this time this includes locally uploaded avatars and DB restore Third party mods may also be effected but these are outside our control you should contact the mod writer for more information 8 Copyright and disclaimer This application is opensource software released under the GPL Please see source code and the Docs directory for more details This package and

to any such program or work and a work based on the Program means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law that is to say a work containing the Program or a portion of it either verbatim or with modifications and or translated into another language Hereinafter translation is included without limitation in the term modification Each licensee is addressed as you Activities other than copying distribution and modification are not covered by this License they are outside its scope The act of running the Program is not restricted and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program independent of having been made by running the Program Whether that is true depends on what the Program does 1 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program s source code as you receive it in any medium provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee 2 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it thus forming a work based on the Program and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above provided that you also meet all of these conditions a You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change b You must cause any work that you distribute or publish that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License c If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run you must cause it when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty or else saying that you provide a warranty and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions and telling the user how to view a copy of this License Exception if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves then this License and its terms do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it Thus it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you rather the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program In addition mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program or with a work based on the Program on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License 3 You may copy and distribute the Program or a work based on it under Section 2 in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following a Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine readable source code which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange or b Accompany it with a written offer valid for at least three years to give any third party for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution a complete machine readable copy of the corresponding source code to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange or c Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer in accord with Subsection b above The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it For an executable work complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains plus any associated interface definition files plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable However as a special exception the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed in either source or binary form with the major components compiler kernel and so on of the operating system on which the executable runs unless that component itself accompanies the executable If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code 4 You may not copy modify sublicense or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License Any attempt otherwise to copy modify sublicense or distribute the Program is void and will automatically terminate your rights under this License However parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance 5 You are not required to accept this License since you have not signed it However nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License Therefore by modifying or distributing the Program or any work based on the Program you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so and all its terms and conditions for copying distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it 6 Each time you redistribute the Program or any work based on the Program the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License 7 If as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason not limited to patent issues conditions are imposed on you whether by court order agreement or otherwise that contradict the conditions of this License they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all For example if a patent license would not permit royalty free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system it is up to the author donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License 8 If the distribution and or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded In such case this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License 9 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and or new versions of the General Public License from time to time Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns Each version is given a distinguishing version number If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and any later version you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation If the Program does not specify a version number of this License you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation 10 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different write to the author to ask for permission For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation write to the Free Software Foundation we sometimes make exceptions for this Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally NO WARRANTY 11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING REPAIR OR CORRECTION 12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES INCLUDING ANY GENERAL SPECIAL INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES StoreFooter AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart License AgoraCart
