Latest UK News

Apr 8, 2007 NEW YORK (Billboard) - Former Kiss guitarist Mark St. John died Thursday from an apparent brain hemorrhage. He was 51.

Born Mark Norton in Hollywood, St. John was Kiss' third official guitarist, having replaced Vinnie Vincent - the substitute for Ace Frehley - in 1984.

From KNAC.com:-
"Just got a call this afternoon stating that my friend, former Kiss guitarist Mark St. John, died this morning from a cerebral hemorrage. He was 51."

This is very sad news indeed, those of you who went to the expo in 2003 will know just how nice a guy he was. He even went out of his way to let me do an interview with him, after asking if we could go grab a pizza first! Believe it or not Mark is one of the ex-members of KISS that I recieve most mail about, partly because he kept himself to himself and his past friends found it difficult to track him down.

All of us at KISSin' UK send our deepest condolences to Mark's family.

For those interested, the interview Mark kindly gave up some time to do can be read here.

Bill Baker, a KISS fan since his teen years, became friends with Ace Frehley and was also his guitar and amp tech from 1990 to 1995, just opened his site: http://www.theacefrehleyarchive.com 

Bill, who also during that time fronted his own tribute band, "Fractured Mirror", the only non-makeup Ace Frehley Tribute Band to ever have surfaced! He obtained many one-of-a-kind items directly from the Space Ace that he would display at Kiss Conventions. His story is shown in the film "Kiss Loves You" that will be coming out on DVD soon. He's been working on a 124 page color photo book showing off his collection of images and memorabilia titled: "Ace Frehley: The Ultimate Fan Scrapbook". This book is tentatively due out sometime late in 2007.

Bill will also be a special guest at the 21st Annual NY Kiss Expo on May 5th, 2007. Check out http://www.theacefrehleyarchive.com for more information and to visit this "playground for Ace fans".

My name is Thierry, I live in France and I'm a long time KISS fan. I met Eric CARR in 1988, [click here] I think you already seen the model kit of his drum kit in the KISStory book and in the KISS my ass video. Now I create my company, a toy collector company. I come back with a project with the agreement of Loretta CARAVELLO, Eric's sister. 

Do you want to speak to Paul Stanley Sunday night 3/11/07? No Joke.
 
Allan Handelman’s first guest this Sunday night March 11th is Paul Stanley of KISS “live” and taking your calls at 800-934-1065. We welcome online listeners to call in from all over the world. Our International line to call is 704-570-1065. It's certainly cool to call in to say how much of a fan you are when speaking to Paul, but please have a question or two to get him to talk about the interesting stuff that makes for good radio. Start calling at 9:55 PM Eastern (show starts at 10 PM EST). If it's busy hang up and try again. If it's ringing let it ring it could take a while. Good luck.
