KISS News Bits

[Terry]

You can tell what parts were tracks vs Stanley's live singing voice especially on Detroit Rock City on the Stern show. Watch back to any of the other performances of DRC and the tracked vocals all sound the same.

I mean what hypocrites.

Yeah, but even back in the 70's heyday when they were actually playing live, KISS even more than most rock bands was about making a buck...to the point where the music (much of which I enjoyed) was secondary to the spectacle and the image of it all. In that context, for a band like KISS to now be miming to piped in vocals...hardly a shock, lame as it is.

I mean what hypocrites.

That's the bit that is fucking unforgivable to me.

It's bad enough but to have the fucking nerve to then say that Roth has to retire because he isn't up to it any more when he isn't miming?

Dave probably dances to Sinatra’s I’ve Got You Under My Skin every time Sam has a triggered by Dave moment which seems to be a lot. Sorry Sam. Van Hagar was never as big as the original lineup. Your run in the band has been forgotten already. Nobody wants to hear Dreams.

Sam puts Gene Simmons to shame. That motherfucker is always banging on the window trying to sell you something. Someone needs to unload two barrels of rock salt in his ass.

He mentions Gene being a solid bass player and his early album work being an example of how he could be a good bassist. But didn't they often have other guys record their album parts? Paul and Gene at least?

Simmons is totally full of shit.

Either is a false memory or Geddy was just being polite.

Recalling the time he offered a few bass tips to Lee, he explains: "I'll tell you a telling story. KISS took out Rush on their first tour. They came out to support us, you know, because we liked what they did. And this was in the, in their Working Man period, when they sounded kind of like a Canadian Zeppelin, which I still prefer, sound-wise, but obviously, they've done very well, and we used to hang out with the guys and joke around everything.


"One night back at the hotel or backstage someplace, Geddy [Lee] and I were sitting down, trading licks, and I said, 'Do you want to do a blues scale? You go first, and then I'll continue the chord pattern,' and he said, 'I don't know what you mean.' At least from what I recall, Geddy didn't understand what a blues scale was or what '1,4,5' meant. That also bears noting that when you go '1,4,5' to a musician, that means something, it's a relationship of notes or chords," he continues.

"So I go, 'Well, okay then, you hit a G, either octave or low,' and he said, 'Which one is that?' Geddy played purely by ear. Now of course later on, he learned what the notes were and stuff like that".
