From: Kulick.net Happy Thanksgiving! Got lots to tell you all so let me start with of course KISS news. I was at Best Buy last night to pick up the new ALIVE four CD set. Great packaging quotes, and I have been told the new mastering really brings out ALIVE III like never before. So check that one out. Of course KISSOLOGY is burning up the DVD shelves in the stores, and I am looking forward to the next two that are going to be released next year. With great anticipation I finally got to see the PAUL STANLEY show. He was amazing at the House of Blues here in LA. What a great night I had, and I sat with GENE SIMMONS and the lovely Shannon Tweed. He grabbed me at said, "SIT DOWN"! Not one to argue with the God of Thunder as he had the best table in the house. We chatted about how good Paul sounded and looked and other than a fan who had too much to drink breathing too close to Gene, we ate cookies (warm ones at that!) and shared hellos with all the other KISS guests floating around the rail at the HOB. My friends and I went backstage where we greeted Paul and his lovely wife Erin and son Evan who I understand is learning guitar and even starting to write music! My brother was in attendance, TOMMY THAYER, Andreas Carlsson the hit songwriter, John 5 from Marilyn Manson and the usual cast of thousands for a hot LA event. I greeted many fans and it was a fantastic night to see Paul rock on stage. His band was excellent, and he looked and played great. It was fun to see him have a good time on stage looking cool as the street style Starchild. The week before I was in Florida for a GFR show in Silver Springs and a Casino in Oklahoma, our last shows for the 2006 year. We used Orlando as the base for the Florida show so I called up some of my friends down there. I was lucky to catch Don Bernstine who works for the Hard Rock chain. He is the guy who gets to check out and purchase for the Hard Rock hotels and cafes the amazing stuff you see on the wall. After an amazing dinner at The Palms in the Hard Rock Orlando Hotel we went to visit the warehouse for the guitars and collectables. My friends Lisa and Bryan got a treat of a lifetime as I was there a few years back. Check out the amazing stuff we posed with. Thank you DON! Jammed at the Baked Potato here in North Hollywood, LA. Always fun to play with Teddy Zig Zag, who does the Fantasy Camps events with me. Slash showed up and I grabbed this silly pix of him from behind with my cell phone. Went to see Sean Lennon as I am a huge Beatle fan. He was excellent, and after getting his new CD I realize that he is better live. More powerful and emotional on stage with his band who really rocked the EL REY. I hope everyone checks him out. Speaking about the Beatles, check out LOVE it was on my BEST BUY list last night. And go see the show in Vegas. Not to be missed. I was at ESP guitars a few weeks back to do some pix for the 2007 catalog. I posed with this sweet custom Eclipse. Check out the flame on the top! The photographer Gene Kirkland was very cool, he is from the KISS days as well, and he grabbed a nice pix of JOE for me! Thank you Gene and of course ESP guitars. Mid November is my parent's anniversary and this one was the 59th. YES 59th!! Crazy I know. Can't wait to celebrate the 60th! I am blessed to still have them around. Nice cake that is always a hit with them and their friends. Went with my friend Wally Wingert to the Glamourcon convention here in LA. I was so glad to go and see my friends Carrie Stevens and Brandi Brandt. You all know Carrie dated ERIC CARR (don't forget the 24th is his 15th anniversary of his death, we miss you EC) and we were very close during the sad days of his illness. Brandi and I were close as she was married to Nikki Sixx and we hung out quite a bit about 10 years ago. Nice to say hello and catch up with them. Wally's friend Brittney Powell was there, she has done Playboy and is an actor from some cool TV shows. My friend Hiro from Japan took a pix at my home a while back, the one I have up on my website and myspace page. Well Vintage Guitar magazine asked me to do that, and now I know why! Want a full page of BK posing? Check out the Jan 07 issue of Vintage Guitar. The guitar is a 1960 ES 355 SV. Gibson of course! Cherry red with Bigby and PAF pickups for all you guitar freaks. Hiro has a friend in Japan who makes pedals. Well he wanted me to check out this overdrive that was built like a tank! Cool, and I will be definitely using this on my new CD, which I can finally say will start recording in December. In December I will get to go to Peru and Chile, for performances so check out the info on those dates. I am excited to get to South America. It has been too long! Sadly I could not fit in Argentina or Brazil as it getting too close to the Christmas Holiday. Well I think I covered it all for now. Can't wait for my new solo disc to be finished and of course loving jamming and creating for my fans. Make sure you visit www.ericsingerproject.com for the ESP CD Live in Japan. The reviews have been coming in quite positive. The DVD Live at the Marquee from Sydney, Australia is ready for sale now as well. So just go to that link. Keep in touch and have a great holiday. |
