Posted: January 29, 2010
Guitarist Todd Youth (D-GENERATION, DANZIG, THE ROYAL HIGHNESS, MICHAEL MONROE) will join legendary KISS guitarist Ace Frehley for his upcoming tour of Australia.

Feb. 01 - Perth, Australia - Metropolis Fremantle
Feb. 04 - Adelaide, Australia - HQ Complex

I work for Bel-Ray Co., a lubricant company that makes motor oils for racing. We sponsor a race team, Butler Brothers Racing (BBMX), that is running in the 2010 AMA Monster Energy Supercross. The season always kicks off at Anaheim Stadium, in Anaheim, CA (where KISS rocked it back in 1976!) This year, the season kicked off on January 9th, 2010 with a record attendance of over 40,000 fans.
This is the third year that Bel-Ray has worked with BBMX as they are aboard their new fuel-injected Suzuki RMZ 250's and 450's. Although we didn't do too well, it was a great surprise to see the orginal Spaceman himself, Ace Frehely come out and play the national anthem with smoking guitar and all!!! The crowd went wild and everyone noted it was a great kick-off to the season.

BK3 February 2nd - Hand Of The King Available Now
From: Rocket Science Ventures
Posted: January 14, 2010
Bruce Kulick's debut single from his forthcoming album, BK3 on January 12th. The single "Hand Of The King" featuring Nick Simmons (son of KISS bassist Gene Simmons) is available as a digital only release available at all online music stores, including iTunes. Nick was seen in Season 4 of Gene Simmons' Family Jewels in the studio with Gene performing for the BK3 CD.
"Although 'Hand Of The King' marks Nick's debut as a recording artist, he was a natural behind the microphone," says Kulick. "His lyrics are based on his passion for the dark imagery of the graphic novel world. The combination of vivid lyrics and brooding guitar riffs, against Nick's powerful vocal performance, absolutely resulted in one of my favorite tracks on BK3."
Bruce Kulick's third solo album, BK3 will be released on February 2nd via Twenty 4 Records / Rocket Science Ventures. Produced by Jeremy Rubulino, BK3 features a jaw dropping guest roster that also includes Gene Simmons, Knack frontman Doug Fieger, John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Kulick's own Union) Toto axe authoritarian Steve Lukather, KISS drummer Eric Singer, and more.

Sonic Booms And Busts: Paul And Gene On KISS Albums
From: Sun UK
Posted: January 12, 2010
Gene and Paul's memories of some classic KISS albums:
KISS (1974) - Gene: I no longer had to work for a living. I went on salary, I became the richest person in the world. Not only was I in a band, doing everything I wanted - I was getting $75 a week! Favourite track: Deuce.
HOTTER THAN HELL (1974) - Paul: Difficult second album? No, we were all piss and vinegar - "If you didn't like the first album, here's another!" We were releasing them every eight months. Favourite track: Hotter Than Hell.
DRESSED TO KILL (1975) - Gene: It was produced by Neil Bogart, our record company president, who couldn't produce. We started attracting lots of groupies. Mostly, I remember lots of girls. Favourite track: Two Timer.

Gene Simmons Lost Interview
From: MrMedia.com
Posted: January 4, 2010
I met Gene Simmons once.
His band, KISS, was touring without the makeup for the first time and we were backstage before a show at the Lakeland Civic Center. Simmons was an imposing figure, even making casual conversation, but we didn't talk long.
Pretty soon, the late concert promoter John Stoll of Fantasma Productions walked up to Simmons. Each of his arms was around the waist of a beautiful, glammed out young lady whom he introduced to Simmons.
The chit-chat was officially over.
"Sorry, Bob. Gotta go," Simmons said, trading places with Stoll between the girls. "Maybe we can talk later."
Never happened.
Anyway, this telephone interview with Simmons from January 7, 1985, is one of my all-time favorites. This captures a moment in time when Simmons was funny, direct and fascinating, talking about KISS, of course, but also making a movie with Michael Crichton, Tom Selleck and Kirstie Allie called Runaway, and why he's not likely to be marriage material. I hope you'll enjoy this Mr. Media "Lost Tape."
