First up, I gotta say I used to be a fan of the following band, so
up front, I'm not posting this to have a dig at any Kiss fans reading here. (Black Bean, Chopper etc)
Today I was looking into Muslim stuff and rock musicians that are outspoken
about Islam - enter Jewish guy Gene Simmons.
While trying to find a video of Gene I seen maybe 4 years ago of him
out in the desert feeling his religious Jewish roots, I kept coming
across uploads today of some audio tape books supposedly from the band.
I'm currently listening to Paul Stanley describe Peter Criss.
Any drummers out there need some motivation -- have a listen to how bad Peter Chris was according to Paul Stanley.
I read a few year back somewhere, on Wiki I think, that all four members were Jewish.
Turns out that was wrong - only Simmons and Stanley are.
The other two supposedly didn't mind Hitler etc...LOL, geez,
the funny stuff I learn as I get older about the stuff I used to
think was..well. Anyways, interesting listening hearing how
successful bands either work together or not.
I never knew drummers offered a kind of padding for the others
to "lay back on" (Stanley) But as is told, lack of skill Chris didn't offer that.
Getting pissed night tonight - might have to crank up some Dynasty
(only album I ever owned) and see if I can keep up with Peter Chris.
You back in yet admin Number 7?
