Shhh! Stop Talking

I love the music that the original members of KISS made, especially the Destroyer release. I have always respected that music and, as I've described previously, hearing the Gene Simmons solo release on 8 track is a cornerstone of my love for playing the drums. Who knows what I would have done if I had not heard that release?

That said, Ace Frehley needs to be quiet. He needs to stop being hung up on the past, stop being asked what he thinks about the original members not playing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and anything related to the band in which he is no longer a member. Articles like this one where he speaks negatively about Tommy Thayer are just so unnecessary. There's no point. The jam session at the induction ceremony *didn't* happen, for whatever reason, so it's over. The awful "KISS Loves You" movie tracked his interaction with a fan, but that was several years ago. Now, today, Frehley has a new CD coming out called "Space Invaders" and he needs to focus upon that release and rehearsing for a tour that, I'm sure, will not come through Cedar Rapids or Iowa City or even Des Moines or Moline, IL. That's just my guess.

KISS Loves You... NOT

You know, I am not afraid to admit that I write music reviews for purely selfish reasons. I write what I'd like to read. I just reread this review of KISS Loves You...http://www.dailyvault.com/article.php5?id=120 and I find it really funny. Ha ha funny. "This is a good movie in the sense that it brings to light a lot of stupid people. The purpose of this movie was to shed light on the KISS fans network but, unlike cockroaches, these people gravitate to the light and speak into a microphone." I like the phrase "gravitate to the light" even though it's been written previously. In the review, I talk about the KISS tribute band "Strutter." I found a video of them on Youtube.com
