Mine has been dispatched by Amazon and due to be delivered tomorrow :)

KISS references: Cheap Trick reference KISS in their track Surrender "Got my KISS records out". Jimmy Barnes/INXS reference Paul Stanley of KISS (amongst others) in their track 'Good Time Tonight'. "Paul Stanley's gonna be there tonight" Jellyfish's 'Joining A Fan Club' is about joining the KISS Army....

Awww.... I love you too Paul 😉

Always been looked after well by Lee Voss, Stuart & all the temp staff. From trying gear to price matching/beating to ordering - all good. Surprised if there's been an issue that needs addressing right to the top?

Dee was fantastic.... part of a school of 70's bass players that I adore for their melody, groove, note choice and overall contribution to the sound of any songs they were involved in. Love him.... Give me some Dee Murray, Peter Cetera, Tiran Porter, John Deacon, David Paton, Rutger Gunnarsson, Martin Tiefensee, Joe Puerta, etc over most any other bassist/bass styles since...

People who add sarcastic comments and disappear without explaining

Nice one! A couple of great bands you're supporting there too! :)

Luckily for me I've never given a sh*t what other people thought about my playing style/stagecraft - after all it's never stopped me getting a gig. Those who matter have chosen me for my reliability, musical dexterity, groove and personality . You know, things that matter.... Probably why I'm the one on the stage and people who judge are in the audience (if they've actually left their bedroom)....

That Ibanez is beautiful...

Especially as they've done it wrong here...!

Amen to that!! Same with my old KISS tribute (fans and one or two band members) 😂😂

@casapete - I saw you guys at Epsom Playhouse a couple of years ago - fabulous stuff - you all really nailed it. I must come and see you again!

@sprocketflup - you guys are SERIOUSLY good. I've seen you a couple of times now - Guildford Electric Theatre & Putney Half Moon (with Del Palmer) - and have been blown away both times! I'll be at the Half Moon in 3 weeks time too. I'll be sure to come and say Hi to you afterwards... Oh, and if you ever need a dep - let me know!

No 'Tubby The Tuba'..... no proper bass programme......

Thank you Sir! I'm very proud of this show :)

Thank you Mickey! Yep.... Glenn is in there..... and also Ian Danter (Talksport presenter/commentator & Planet Rock DJ) on drums too! :)

Lol! I'm 6ft 2 without boots anyway! The boots are in storage..... and may come out if I want to win a high stakes 'Halloween costume' competition! Cheers mate - we're getting around England/Wales a fair bit during 2019 but hope to get up to Scotland in 2020

I formed and then spent 26 years with the KISS Tribute 'Dressed To Kill'. We were one of the first tributes in this country (along with T-Rextasy/Bootleg Beatles/Counterfeit Stones) and so were lucky enough to get in first with fan clubs, Promoters, the band themselves etc.... It was hard work - I immersed myself in the character and had to have an expensive costume made, learn to firebreathe, stomp around on 7" monster stack heels, spit blood and lead sing while hip grinding and playing bass (!!) etc.... but it was well worth it for the life experiences, travel, reasonable financial reward and people (women) *ahem* I met! Highlights included: 10 day 'tribute package' tour of major Japanese theatres and arenas (inc 12,000 at the Tokyo Ariake Coliseum!) with TV interviews and live show on NHK Halloween 'private party' at Casino De Paris in Monaco for the highest rollers Multiple dates across Spain, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Norway & Sweden for Promoters and Fan Club events Appearing with Gene Simmons in both his 'Rock School' & 'Family Jewels' TV series' MTV Interview/Feature on Headbangers Ball 3 page 'spread' in Kerrang on our FIRST ever show! Live reviews in major rock publications (RAW, Kerrang, Metal Hammer ettc) KISS Product launches (album releases, DVD promo) Volvo corporate launch party Playing to 5000 people on the beach as the sun went down at Lloret De Mar in Spain. Headlining various tribute festivals etc etc etc However, after you've done it for the length of time I did, you look across the stage and see a bunch of tired, ageing guys paying tribute to an even older group of guys and realise that it would be nice to go out on top so I stopped. They have continued on and are proving my point for leaving... I now perform with a fantastic theatre tribute to 'Rock Anthems & Power Ballads' called 'LEATHER & LACE' which I love as I get to stretch my musical muscles and I don't have to wear costume armour with 7" monster stack heel boots etc... lol! Here's our promo (all music is us!):

I guess I just have high standards...... but I expected more of both programmes so far. I understand they were only one hour episodes but too many influential names etc were left unsaid/unappreciated........ I really could have done without Joy Division/New Order appearing in both. Eurghh... As Nancy Johnson said, I can think of a million more passionate, entertaining, experienced and influential musicians to present the shows too.... I appreciate that ANY TV programme about real musical instruments/musicians should be welcomed.... I just feel that, imho, it was another wasted opportunity.

Yep....! Mine says "Expected by 26 Jan"
