Re: The Well CXVIII: Wattage you say?
HOLY CRAP!
#1 Ace Gene Peter or Paul? answer is obvious...however - WHY that individual?
Ace all the freaking way. It started out as Gene for me, the blood and fire had me hooked but once I really got into KISS, it was all about Ace. His whacky off beat sense of everything, the Spaceman, the laugh and eventually the solo album. He was Rock N Roll in spades.
#2 Three favorite KISS tunes up up to and including ALIVE?
Deuce, All The Way, Love Her All I Can (bonus for Alive - 100,000 Years)
#3 Three favorite KISS tunes up to and including ALIVE II
Detroit Rock City, Take Me, Shock Me (bonus for AliveII - Rocket Ride)
#4 Favorite KISS album of all time?
Hotter Than Hell - I love the guitar sounds on it, so freaking RAW!
#5 If you were going to be prison raped - what position?
Heavily sedated hopefully
#6 Where do you stand on pantaloons?
I don't know reminds me of Skarey and a Dave Matthews Band thing he had going on, I hate Dave Matthews Band so I'll say I hate pantaloons!
#6 Rick Nielson guitar you would want to own?
His '58 Les Paul, one of my dream axes. In case he tried to kill me when I was sneaking off with it I'll take his first Hamer Standard.*** I change that after the LP I want Uncle Dick, the double neck that looks like a cariacature of him.
#7 Fave Cheap Trick records Old/New?
In Color and Black and White from the old stuff, Next Position Please for the Non-Tom era and Cheap Trick '97 from the later catalog. The last few discs are excellent though, they will never get enough credit for how great they are as far a I am concerned.
#8 Famous person living who you would like to have dinner with - and what is one thing you would want to discuss with them, and where would you like to eat?
Right now probably Wayne Kramer, he is a really intelligent musician from a very important band on Rock history. He basically lost everything and somehow turned it around. He may be more successful now than ever in his life, he is a very impressive cat. I would like to discuss his life, personal philosophy and how he got where he is. Where to eat? Mmmm Irondoquit Hots next to House of Guitars in Rochester, NY then maybe we could go next door and talk guitars for a few.
#9 Correct ingredients for a truly awesome cheesesteak - besides the steak, and roll?
Grilled green peppers and onions with cheddar cheese.
#10 ((((10.2*893)(457.9 / 873))raised to the 5th power *.00000473) divided by the square root of 17) + 2
13,642,214,158,016,100 (like this is going to be even close! ha)
#11 Roth vs Hagar - a critical assessment?
Dave can't sing like Sammy but was super cool for longer than most men have hair. Sammy can sing but cool has never been his thing. VH was never the same without Dave but Dave lost it and will likely never find it again. Sammy keeps treading on the scared Montrose ground but never quite can capture the greatness of Bad Motor Scooter can he? They've both had pretty good runs. Sammy lost me at "I Can't Drive 55" and Dave lost me when he got Vai on guitar, oh well. Wasn't Steve's fault Dave just became all cartoon at that point. Where was that badass MF'er that did the first VH album, where Dave, where the hell did that guy go?????
#12 what ONE piece of KISS memorabilia would you like to have, besides one of Frehley's guitars?
Space Bear
#13 Women: Naked or in lingerie?
Hmm.....naked! But it is cool if it starts out with lingerie for sure.
#14 Best IPA, Lager, Stoudt, and Pilsner?
IPA - don'tlike them much at all so I don't have much reference but I'll go with Brooklyn Brewery's East India Pale Ale.
Lager - Sam Adams Boston Lager, Blue Point Toasted Lager but probably Spaten Premium
Stout - Portsmouth Brewery Milk Stout
Pilsner - Pilsner Urquell
#15 Today's youth - moral terpitude or the impact of escalating materialism?
I don't know are they that much worse? I think today's parents are worse than the kids. So since it is put on them I'll go with escalating materialism.
#16 Lingerie - favorite outfit?
I don't usually wear lingerie but when I do...Oh OK I see - black teddy
#17 Should we feed starving nations even though they continue to live in a frickin' desert?
Sam Kinison? I think we should have an abundance mentality as often as we possibly can. I understand the "teach a man to fish" and get him somewhere he can grow crops thought but I don't know how we can as a nation pick them all up and move them, probably be cheaper in the long run though huh?
#18 Do you believe that the American legislature has became so disconnected from the populace that we are headed for a second revolution? What will be the weapon of choice by the proletariat?
The populace is getting so disconnected from reality that there is no hope for an earnest revolution forget how self serving and power hungry the legislators are. They populace would want the government to fight the damn revolution for them, so no I don't think a revolution is coming anytime soon. If there is one the weapon of choice it will be a smart phone.
#19 What is the one thing you hope your kids do, that they probably won't? What is something you think they will do that reflect best on you as a parent?
I wish my kids would really learn to play guitar well (or some instrument). They've both had their hand at it, my son got pretty good but he moved on to different things. My daughter gets excited about it now and then and has a uke that she learned a bunch of tunes on. They love music but the need to create it isn't there unfortunately, maybe when they get older.
They already make me look like a superstar parent just being who they are. I am pretty sure they will both make incredible parents and that would be a great legacy as a parent.
#20 Ever administered the Shocka?
hehe yup!
#21 If you could only use ONE duncan pup in all your guitars forever - which model and why?
The '59, it is as versatile a pickup as there is, great voice and very consistent from pickup to pickup.
#22 Which TV show do you wish they would start making again?
Easy, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr but I miss the X Files a lot.
#23 First TV/Movie actress crush?
Jeannie/Barbara Eden
#24 Age when you last ate a booger?
I don't think I ever ate one, that has always given me the gag reflex when I have seen someone do it, ugh!!!!
#25 Hobbies as a kid? Are you still doing any?
I was never much of a hobbyist, I can't say I can think of anything...oh OK airbrushing. I still have one and while I haven't used in quite a few years I am planning on doing some stuff with it this summer. I was OK with it but I always have fun with it. I used to draw a lot but I don't remember the last time I did any kind of real drawings, mostly it was copies of album covers and music stuff. I dreamed of working for Hipgnosis who did all the really cool album covers in the 70's.
#26 Most erotic part of a woman besides bewbs, buns, and coochy?
Her neck, then shoulders
#27 The "All American Man" tune - seriously - why?
Really? You don't love that riff? Great riffing, fun song. It also fits part of the schtick for a new project I am working on. Think Evel doing that tune.
#28 KISS without Gene and Paul - possible?
If they can have KISS without Peter and Ace they can have KISS without Gene and Paul.
#29 Which way do you dress?
Over under sideways down. For work - slacks, button down shirt & tie. Casually I am a jean a tee shirt kind of guy, usually a black t-shirt.
#30 You are dying - you have one last request for a cheese burger; Describe it (weight, toppings, etc....)
1/2lb lean sirloin, medium with charred top and bottom, american with grilled onions on a pretzel roll with mustard, ketchup and some habanero sauce.
Think I got them all now! That was a hell of a list of questions, good job man!
