Gene Interview
Bruce confirms playing on Psycho CircusBud Mitch Lafon e-mailed in this interesting update. Bruce Kulick admitted (during a Q&A) at the Montreal Kiss convention today (Sept 28th) - that he played guitar on a great deal of Kiss reunion album Psycho Circus. It's interesting to note that this is probably the first time, he's publicly admitted doing so. In all press, interview, etc in the past he vehemently denied it.
24th September 2003 Loaded
I've just been handed this
cartoon strip from a recent issue of Loaded magazine (UK
edition). Thanks to my boss for passing it to me, and as
promised I'll keep your secret about wearing KISS make-up a few
years back quiet....Click picture to enlarge.
22nd September 2003 Expo
In my quest to sort out Expo accommodation for Saturday night 25th October 2003, can I ask for some info please. I would like to get some numbers of the people interested.
Could you please email me privately - Dan.griffiths@llgc.org.uk This will enable me to take numbers to the hotel managers.
Hopefully then hotel reservation managers can appreciate the demand and the income they will be getting. Surely October is not exactly peak tourist season - or maybe Nottingham(shire) is different to any other tourist locations.
Any private email replies to this posting is very much appreciated.
Yours rockingly KISS,
Dan bach

Back a married man...As for those who asked if we wore KISS face paint during the
wedding... no, we didn't go that far.... We did however have
Forever as the first song, Beth (Eric Carr) as the last and
Crazy Crazy Nights was in the middle somewhere.

11 September 2003 Symphony
DVD Launch Party in HollandFrom: Joop van Pelt, KISS Kollector fanzine
The release party for the upcoming Symphony DVD we had last Thursday at the Hard Rock Cafe in Amsterdam (Holland) was a
big success.
Apart from the world premiere of the awesome DVD, we gave away
a Paul Stanley Silvertone guitarand had the DVD on sale already before
it hits the stores on September 15 (plus the Alive IV album on CD and LP).
At a crowded Hard Rock Cafe fans enjoyed the DVD on big screens, with
the music blasting on high volume through the speakers. The DVD, by the
way, comes in a great package (with embossed cover) and features incredible
footage, including Paul and Gene discussing the symphony idea at conductor
David Campell's house and the band rehearsing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
A real must have for any KISS fan!

4 September 2003 Knights
in Satan's ServiceFrom: Gareth Clough
I went to Satan's Hollow club in Manchester on Saturday where
they had DJ's
dressed in Kiss make up called Knights In Satans Service who
play wierd dance
remixes of old KISS records mixed in with their own stuff. Sadly
they didn't
breathe fire or drool blood, but claimed that they were the real
KISS who had
been frozen and returned from the future.
