|
|
I didnt know this :eek:
Summer of 95.....
Gene Simmons, wild-eyed bassist for Kiss, writes in a new book that he dealt with Eddie and Alex a bit more extensively than just the infamous '77 Van Halen demo sessions. In Kisstory, a book celebrating Kiss' 20 years in music, Simmons explains that Eddie and Alex had a hand in recording the demo of the Kiss song Christeen Sixteen. They recorded it at Village Recorders in Los Angeles and Eddie's solo was so good that Ace Frehley, Kiss' lead guitarist at the time, copied it note-for-note when recording the tune for the Love Gun album. Why doesn't that surprise us? But here's the real shocker: Simmons claims that Edward was considered as a replacement for Ace Frehley after Ace left Kiss in 1982. Supposedly, Edward even asked Simmons if he could join Kiss because he was so frustrated over the situation with David Lee Roth.
Editor's Note: We are not completely convinced that things went down exactly as Simmons describes in the book. Gene probably caught Ed on a bad night and translated the incident out of context. As we all know, Ed doesn't travel without Al--and there's no way in hell Al would ever join Kiss. We can almost see the incident as clear as the fake blood on Gene Simmons' face: Eddie wakes up with a brutal hangover and heads down to the arena for that night's sold-out show. He runs into the guys and says, "Hey man, I woke up this morning and realized that last night I almost joined Kiss." Alex responds, "Damn, we're gonna have to start keeping you on a leash!" Mike then looks at Ed and says, "Hey I thought you stopped wearing makeup because it makes you look just like Val." |

| I'm really starting to think that clip doesn't exist. However, with VH gearing up again, NOW would be a really good time for Gene to throw together another greatest hits package and put it on there |
