Kousins or: Trick and Treat

Salutations™!!

More Demon or: Know Your Roles

Salutations™!! Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast, we continued our love and admiration for Gene on his birthday by picking our top three favorite Gene roles, either film or television. For me, it was easy because I’ve only really seen three movies he had a role in, that I remember. But,…

Blood and Fire or: A Demonic Birthday

Salutations™!! I wanted to take a minute to wish my idol, my reason for being a musician, my reason to be an entertainer, and how I got the confidence to do what I do. The Demon, Chaim Witz, Gene Klein, Gene Simmons. No matter what you call him. I thank him almost every day that…

A Very Demonic Birthday or: Lighting His Own Candles

Salutations™!! I want to wish a very happy birthday to my favorite demon, one of my musical heroes, the reason why I am a musician, the reason I play bass, and the reason I worry so much about putting on a “show.” That demon is Gene Simmons who turns 71 years young and still gets up…

The One That Started It or: First KISS

Salutations™!! Today is the 46th anniversary of KISS. The band started in 1973 but this album came out on February 18, 1974. Only eight months older than its successor, Hotter Than Hell which was only five months before its successor, Dressed To Kill. This isn’t my top KISS album but came in at #3 on my rankings (you can…

Hotter Than Hell Again or: Still a Great One

Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of one of my favorite KISS albums, Hotter Than Hell. I liked my writeup from last year and I’m reposting it. … It is one of my faves, for sure. It was one of the first albums I ever got in the 70s and it was one of two…

Silent Sunday or: Been KISSed

Salutations™!! We didn’t get to Underdog Records yesterday due to our travels for the KISS concert. It was 3B’s and The BCPF’s first KISS concert and 3B’s first overall. They had smiles on their face all night long but some of that could have come from watching me. I have seen KISS about 11 times…
