It's 27 years today since the world lost two great rock icons. One won't get as much media coverage as the other but will always be remembered by the KISS Army. RIP Eric.
Here's a quote given to me by Bruce Kulick a few years back: "Eric was my friend, my bandmate and like a brother to me. He made me laugh, he made me angry,and when he passed on he made me cry. I remember his great drumming and his great sense of humor. I miss him but I know he will never be forgotten. I hope he is having some great jam sessions in heaven!! Bruce."

Great night watching Counterfeit KISS in Corby. They're a Paul & Gene tribute act with lead guitar & drums on a backing track. Great fun, with a setlist that included Move On & Makin' Love. Recommend catching them if you get chance.
This morning brought the news no KISS fan wanted to hear- the 'One Last KISS End Of The Road' world tour has been announced. Let's face it we all knew it was coming, but it was still a bit of a shock. I imagine this will last a few years and let's just hope there's a good few UK dates in there.
Here's the video from America's Got Talent last night where they opened the show and announced the tour.
Tribute band 'Counterfeit KISS' will be playing at The Grampian Club in Corby, Northants on Friday 28th September. As far as I'm aware, they will be the first KISS tribute to hit Corby!
Counterfeit Kiss are based in Ashby De La Zouch and were formed by Darren Jackson, an ex-Corby Radio presenter.
Tickets are available from The Grampian or Corby Radio.
