IAN: I remember you telling me that, in 77, after you played those shows at Madison Square Garden, you actually went to stay at your moms in Queens. She lived across from Bayside High, so I would have passed right by her house on the bus. I was in the midst of this three-day Kiss insanity, seeing you at the Garden. Had I known that you were at your moms, only eight blocks from where I lived, I would have jumped out of a moving bus to come and meet you! [Laughs]
Okay, Gene, I have a couple of questions from some friends of mine. Jon Donais from Shadows Fall is a huge Eighties Kiss fan. His question is, Any chance of Vinnie Vincent and Bruce Kulick coming back to tour on any of the Eighties or Revenge material? Don't let them turn their backs on their Eighties fans.

I think they learned their lesson after telling us for years that the makeup was never gong back on, they were only moving forward, not going backwards etc.

For a while there they were steadily moving backwards through their costumes, so it was quite ironic to see.

Never say never is a good attitude to have.

I do believe that Vinnie will be at least be recognized by Kiss when they get inducted into the Rock Hall . He MAY NOT be allowed to participate by the powers that be from Rolling Stone or Kiss because he was only in the band a short while, but, he at least deserves the acknowledgement.

It would be an incredible thing to see the living members of the group jam. It would open the door to a tour where the members come out and do the hits from their time period. Vinnie,Ace ,and Bruce, would be on stage for a while !!! Tommy would get their after show soup.
:D :D :D

The entire thing was up at one point. I don't know where it went.

I think the answer was along the lines of "never say never". Ie, it COULD all possibly happen.

The makeup went back on after years of denial as it was really needed to flag their careers and it worked wonders.

If it was decided that an all star cast of past members was required to boost sales Bruce and Vinnie could be there in a flash, or at least Bruce as he's an amiable and professional guy.

Vinnie would want his own deli tray. That's a DEAL BREAKER right there.

You wonder if the song was actually written about him being in Kiss rather than a typical girl/boy breakup!
