GENE SIMMONS BUSINESS ADVICES

Recently Reuters sat down with Gene Simmons in Toronto just before his keynote speech at Canada’s Advertising Week 2011. Here are a tip from Simmons on how to excel in business.

"Never listen to any one particular piece of business advice. What that really means is you have to take successful peoples’ lives and experiences into consideration, but then you have to apply your own situation to that. Because there are no ‘10 rules’ for success.” More

Next engagements for Gene are Feb. 12 in Los Angeles and then April 5 in Brussels.

ERIC SINGER REMEMBERS GARY MOORE 

Eric Singer has released the following statement to Classic Rock Revisited regarding the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:
"I had the pleasure to play drums with Gary on his 1987 'Wild Frontier' tour. I joined Gary's band via Bob Daisley. We had recorded together with BLACK SABBATH on the 'Eternal Idol' album. Bob arranged the audition in London in January of 1987. We soon began rehearsals for what would become one of Gary's most successful tours ever.  I remember we would practice everyday at John Henry Studios in London. Bob and Neil Carter lived in Brighton and would have to leave in time to make their train home. Gary and I would sometimes stay on and jam. Just drums and guitar. We would play THIN LIZZY tunes or just jam endlessly as Gary never ran out of ideas when it came to soloing! He would also play  those legendary guitars back then. The 'Peter Green' 1958 Les Paul and his 'Pink Salmon' 1962 Fender Stratocaster. He, of course, did not take  those on tour anymore as they had become much too rare and valuable. I have to say the one thing that always stood out to me about Gary was his absolute passion and intensity as a guitarist. This man played every song and note like it was the last time he would ever play it. And therefore demanded and expected the same from his band.  I have to admit he could be a bit tough on drummers. But he only asked for  and expected what he himself gave to music. And that was complete commitment every time you played with him. He inspired me to want to play up to his level every night. I will always thank him for the opportunity he gave me to play with him. He really was a brilliant musician. And I always felt like he helped take me to another level as a drummer and musician. It was an experience and an education I will  never forget and take with me everywhere I go.
God bless you, Gary Moore."

Moore died in his sleep Sunday morning, hours after checking into the five-star Kempinski Hotel in Estepona on the Costa del Sol. He was 58 years old.

27-01-11 KISS TO ENTER THE STUDIO IN MARCH (www.rockaaa.com)

KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer has confirmed that the legendary rockers are heading back into the studio and plan to release a new album before the end of the year. And he reveals it will follow much the same format as 2009’s Sonic Boom which was a massive success on both sides of the Atlantic. In an interview with BackstageAxxess Thayer says: “The great news is that we are going in the studio again in the next month or two. We are starting to work on writing some songs, approach it just like we did with Sonic Boom and keep it all in the band in terms of the writing, with no agenda besides writing great rock n’ roll songs that we love, then rehearsing them before then recording them. It really felt good to us so we’ll go the same way this time.” The new record will be the bands 20th studio album and Thayer reveals KISS co-leader Paul Stanley will produce it, after the success he had at the helm on Sonic Boom He adds: “Paul knows more what a KISS record should sound like than anybody, to be honest with you, so he is going to lead the charge and produce it again and we are all really excited about it. “I know we are going to start working on it really soon in terms of the writing and rehearsing and we’ll probably be in the studio by March, so sometime this year I’m sure you’ll see a spanking new KISS album that’s gonna kick some butt!”

Tommy ha confermato le voci che circolavano da mesi e che in parte avevamo già riferito, i KISS entreranno in studio in Marzo per realizzare il loro 20° album.

Il successore di Sonic Boom sarà prodotto ancora da Paul Stanley.
