WHEN KISS MET STAR WARS...(by Chris Chiarella via Kissasylum.com)
Recently a nice article by Chris Chiarella popped up on kissasylum.com, talking the great "old days" when America was all comics, KISS and...Star Wars!! Here a small excerpt
"There was something about the devotees of both Star Wars and KISS, a true fanaticism that drove us to buy everything that reminded us of our obsession. No coincidence then that George Lucas and
KISS were considered pioneers in product licensing. Around this time, Marvel had also been branching out into tie-in products like Mead school supplies emblazoned with classic covers. Mead would
also give us a Star Wars line, although I suppose KISS was still a little too subversive for the classroom." MORE
Di recente è spuntato un bell'articolo su kissasylum.com scritto da Chris Chiarella, in cui si parla dei bei "vecchi tempi" quando l'America era tutta fumetti, KISS e ... Star Wars! Ecco un
estratto: "C'era qualcosa di simile in entrambi i fans di Star Wars e dei KISS, un vero fanatismo che ci spingeva a comprare tutto ciò che ci ricordava la nostra ossessione. Non è un caso che
George Lucas e i KISS sono stati considerati i pionieri nel campo delle licenze su prodotti macrhiati con le loro effigi. A quel tempo anche la Marvel si era buttata sulla commercializzazione di
prodotti con i loro supereroi un bella vista. Ci fu anche una linea di prodotti Star Wars, e ovviamente dei KISS anche se allora suppongo erano ancora un pò troppo sovversivi per fare capolino un
un aula di scuola". Continua

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.
For the complete listings of Gene keynote speech engagements click on genesimmons.com
Gene si sta dedicando agli interventi motivazionali, ultima frontiera delle sue attività imprenditoriali. Recentemente ha ammesso ai microfoni della Reuters:"Non ascoltate mai i consigli degli altri. Ovvero, fate tesoro delle esperienze degli altri, ma applicatele con intelligenza alle vostre realtà" Prossimi appuntamenti il 12 a Los Angeles e poi il 5 Aprile a Bruxelles, per la lista completa andate su genesimmons.com

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.
