Re: Band lineups you wish would have gone on for longer

When Ace quit the first time, Paul was looking for a Rhoads/Lee type of guitarist for KISS. IMO, shredding is not KISS-like at all. KISS needed a rock guitarist, not a heavy metal guitarist. They were never a metal band, although some of their songs are metal or at least metal-ish. When Mark was fi...

Re: Band lineups you wish would have gone on for longer

Mark was the wrong choice. He didn't listen to KISS, he listened to jazz fusion. He was replaced twice on "Animalize", because he wasn't fitting in. Bruce should have been the one who replaced Vinnie or better yet to replace Ace originally. Grover Jackson just provided Paul with a list of...

Re: Band lineups you wish would have gone on for longer

I know I'm in the minority on this one but I would have liked one more album with Mark St John just too see what he could do as I love the guitar sound on Animalize. I mean how bad could he have been if Grover Jackson himself brought him to KISS in the first place? Mark was the wrong choice. He did...

He didn't have any writing credits and they had to bring Kulick in to finish a couple of the songs so I wonder how instrumental he really was in the recording of that album. He also later said that the arthuritis was a coverup because he pretty much left because they couldn't stand him and vv. I wo...

The cop who busted him in the Beverly Hills Park was my best friend in grade school! I think he sued him after he wrote that song about the incident and won so he's living pretty comfortably. He was a great looking guy about 6"4 and jacked and they knew George would go for him and he did.
