Dang, I was enjoying this! I love hearing those guys talk because we never get to. Tommy and Eric are such great people and they just make me happy. Same to Bruce. Screw security for making you stop recording lol. This is the good stuff haha.
100% agree. This interview went on for about an hour and was loaded with great stuff including Bruce briefly talking about his brother Bob, or as he said Robert.
They were talking about Paul’s ‘89 Tour and a quick mention was made that there was “some other guy” who played guitar with Paul on that tour. Bruce said something like, yeah some guy Robert Kulick. You could sense Bruce was pissed at him, but Bruce (in typical Bruce fashion) took the high road and didn’t say anything that would result in a “headline”.
It's all for you Bruce says, that's exactly what Kiss has said repeatedly about doing a second farewell tour, they really do care about the fans. Those that are tearing them down and complaining about the tour and complaining about this and that are not supporting them as true fans like Kiss is supporting the fans.
"they should have respect and pass it on.... are you kidding me" YES!!! Imagine if two of the original members of one of the biggest bands ever comes up to you and says "so, we dont have a drummer and we need you, we'll pay you a shitton of money, you gonna go to basically every country in the world, all you gotta do is play the drums and put a make on" anyone, literally, anyone would say no to that? FUCK NO, thats once in a lifetime oportunity
Eric Carr and Vinnie were their own people/characters in Kiss. Mr. Singer was his own man in Kiss from 1991-1995, but should get off his "I was a Kiss fan before any of you" soapbox and realize he looks like a little kid at Halloween in Peter's makeup. I'm surprised he doesn't walk around with a jack o' lantern candy bucket. Tommy Thayer was pretending to be Ace Frehley years before he was in Kiss, so his integrity doesn't need to be discussed. Sure, anyone would jump at the opportunity to be Gene and Paul's butt boys. It doesn't mean that it's right.
@@jfrey1 Carr and Vinnie were their own characters, looked how well that went. So well that they took the makeup off. Singer doesn't look like a kid in a costume, he looks like the drummer of Kiss and he earned that spot. How is taking the gig with Kiss the wrong thing to do? Any aspiring or working musician would jump on that opportunity in a heart beat. If it wasn't Tommy and Eric, it would be somebody else.
Rock and Roll Experience with Mike Brunn It happened to me too at the electric show and at Gene (smarter than a rock God). I think they changed the handy cam rules at the theater... SAD...
Mike Davitt Thayer was already on salary working for them. And it was originally just some TV stuff and a private party in Jamaica. He was a fill in. After Ace really wouldn’t come back he had already squeezed his way in.
Bruce actually revealed in an interview that he was so happy that they didn't ask him to come back with the make up. He also praised Tommy for being the perfect choice to replace ace as he could play exactly like him, something that Bruce admitted that he couldn't do.
I have to say I will always like the original Kiss, but Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are morons. These guys are real pros and good speakers. When I see Ace Frehley speak, I cringe every time. In short, they seem like nice people and probably a pleasure to deal with compared to Ace and Peter.
