He says Paul Stanley could’ve saved his voice but did not put in the work, he says the same thing about Axl … around the 20 min mark.

Any revealing behind the scenes stories about lipsyncing his whole career?
This is like interviewing Dave Grohl a week ago and not asking how the kids are.

See if you can get Perry Ferrall on to discuss Porno For Pyros, and his latest paintings.

Heard this guy on YT.
Rumors he is a fraud. Has fake lawyers telling people to remove negative comments.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

So I don't know a lot about this guy outside of the posts about him faking it. The one from the British guy with the live clip was obvious.
Is this doctored? I saw this on instagram a while back - sounds real to me. If he was pitching it, wouldn't we hear the guitar shifting as well?

This interview was conducted, edited, and ready for publishing AS the Lip syching scandal broke- We reached out to Ken and offered to have him tell his side of the story. He declined at THIS POINT but said soon .HueyRamone wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2024 5:12 amAny revealing behind the scenes stories about lipsyncing his whole career?

You just know that he's making stuffs up, he doesn't give you a definite answer to any questions, he only replies very vaguely and moves on to the next topic quickly. And he covers his lies with another lies and they get him back eventually. Declining offers to sing for Foreigner and Mötley Crüe? This is just ridiculous.

Wow, this guy has an ego, he thinks he that is too talented for any band
The following humorous rendition shows him poking fun at Lammy, Coverdale, DLR, early 90's Bach and others:

He could never hold a steady gig with his goat-tongue vocal style. Too distracting.
