he sounds happy and positive.That's all matters to me.Best wishes, mr, Vincent.I would have liked to be there and shake your hand, but due to circumstances, i couldn't.
Sounds silly, watching him coming back in such good spirit helped me deal with the state of depression i'm in.

Michael described the Whole story on his website in the past, full of details, but it is nowhere to be found now, it seems.
At the time, according to Enfer magazine, Kiss asked to kevin carlson, Mick mars and jack starr, but they were turned down.
