KISS Special: Interview With Richie FontanaFrom: RockPages.gr Posted: March 1, 2008 We continue our year-long KISS special article with the fourth interview with a KISS-related figure. This week we publish an interview with Richie Fontana, who played drums on PAUL STANLEY’s solo album back in 1978. Richie talks about his collaboration with KISS and he sets the record straight for some rumors that were floating around in the late 70s. Here’s an excerpt of that interview: Rockpages.gr: You hooked up with Paul after the Aucoin Connection with Piper? Who recommended you to him? Richie Fontana: Actually, Paul contacted me directly via the Aucoin office. That's all there was to it. I guess he had me in mind all the while as he was getting ready to begin working on his solo project. Rockpages.gr: You played drums on 4 tracks on the album. Would you like to tell me a word or two for each one of them? Richie Fontana: I really do like all 4 tracks. Very melodic. Paul is an excellent writer. Paul, Bob Kulick, Steve Buslowe and myself just gathered ourselves in a circle and learned the songs right in the studio. The parts for the rhythm tracks came quickly. "Tonight You Belong To Me" has that power/epic thing about it which I thought was perfect to open the album. "Move On" is a good old rocker. "Ain't Quite Right" I feel is a very classy tune, I love that one. "Wouldn't You Like To Know Me" has that power pop feel that I love so much, ala Raspberries, etc. Rockpages.gr: You recorded the album on the Electric Lady Studios. Do you have any unpublished story from that recording period? Read the whole interview at http://www.rockpages.gr/kissspecial2008/4-RichieFontana-en.htm |
