In All-Star Ban

Gene Simmons, Joe Elliot, Sebastian Bach And Others Join Forces
In All-Star Band[/glow]
For the first time in legendary KISS icon Gene Simmons' long
career, he's operating not just without the makeup but without
his KISS mates in a new all-star project featuring Def Leppard
singer Joe Elliot and former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach,
former Guns N' Roses stars Duff McKagan (bass), Matt Sorum
(drums) and Gilby Clarke (guitar) and former Deep Purple singer
Glenn Hughes, among others.
Finally an all-star band featuring real all-stars.
According to www.genesimmons.com, plans were unveiled Thursday
at a special afternoon press conference at the legendary Roxy
club on Sunset Strip, and the great man with the long tongue was
pumped up.
"This is going to be a great time, a time for us to pay tribute
to the fans," Simmons said. "This is an important honor to step
on sacred holy ground with a project like this, and all of it is
for the fans. It harkens back to the old days of rock and roll,
the Legends of Rock when Chuck Berry, Little Richard, all of
them got together to put on the best show possible for the
fans."
The only firm dates are 10 scheduled concerts in South America
and Central American in places like Brazil, Argentina, Peru,
Costa Rica and Columbia, but the plan is to expand with more
shows in Europe, then perhaps America, though details have not
been finalized. "We're trying to follow a great trend in rock
and roll, and we're going to have a great time," Simmons said.
"So stay tuned."
Sorum, one of the main organizers, said the plan is to shuffle
musicians, particularly singers, and the plan is for a two-hour
show featuring the biggest hits from everyone involved,
including Def Leppard's "Pure Some Sugar on Me" and "Animal,"
KISS' "Rock and Roll All Nite," Skid Row's "I Remember You" --
Sebastian proved he still has the chops by belting out a few
lyrics at the press conference -- along with several Guns N'
Roses hits such as "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O Mine" with
Bach singing.
"We'll play all the biggest hits from each band," Sorum said.
"It's going to be a good time. The hits will keep coming."
It's a plum gig for Bach, who says he's been "listening to KISS
songs since I was 7 years old." "It's going to be one of the
greatest rock and roll tours," Bach said. "These are the best
musicians in rock and roll, and I've known them all for a long
time. The fans in South America are very passionate about rock
and roll, and it's going to be great."
McKagan conceded that most of players have been around a long
time -- maybe a little too long for some of them -- but that's a
good thing. "If you look at who's been doing something a long
time, if you look at who is still around, they're usually the
best guys to hang with," McKagan said. "I wasn't the easiest one
to get into the camp, but this is going to be great."
Hughes plans to sing the Deep Purple classic "Burn," among
others, and the British singer said he is really looking forward
to the tour. "It's going to be quite a spectacle," Hughes said.
"For me, this collective of rockers is a fan's dream come true.
It's a great lineup with players from a lot of great bands."
The others involved are singer Ed Roland from Collective Soul,
guitarists Steve Stevens from Billy Idol and Billy Duffy from
the Cult and bassist Mike Inez from Alice in Chains.

Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me!!!!!! This is awesome
s h i t !!! This better be a f u c k i n g reality show like
that of VH1 Supergroup. They have to be recording this stuff
from the meet and greet, to band rehearsals to song selections
and then eventually the concert at the end. I wonder if Bach
will try to name this band Savage Animal as well.
