Hope you guys all enjoyed the all new That Metal Show last night. It’s been great to be able to feature such a wide variety of rock, hard rock and metal in the shows evolution. Guys like Mick Jones and Leslie West have so much history it’s hard to even scratch the surface on TV with the time we have. Was cool seeing Marty Friedman geek out over Mick Jones “Hot Blooded” solo! Huge thanks to Leslie West for the amazing guitar. Had no idea that was coming! One day I MUST learn to play! Was also cool to have Lita jam. She is a big part of our shows history as the first ever guest, and now the first ever woman to perform for us. I did talk with Leslie about the loss of his leg and I did talk with Mick about Lou Gramm and the recent performance at the songwriters HOF but it was cut for time. Some will likely end up as online extras. I’ll post links when I can or visit www.thatmetalshow.vh1.com for more. Show replays all week. Next taping is this Tuesday in NYC with Mick Mars! So cool to have the unsung hero of Motley on our show for the hour. Truly underrated player too! Mick will also be in studio with me tomorrow for a LIVE TRUNKNation 6-10P ET on SiriusXM channel 39. Don’t miss it! More soon.
Quick update on the Kiss R&R HOF drama. My sources telling me that as of now, unless Gene and Paul change their mind and decide to play with the original band, there will be no performance of any kind for the bands induction. Common thought was that perhaps an all star band would be assembled to tribute Kiss since there is no performance from them now with any version of the band. But there will be no tribute either. Likely just a video package on the screens. So where we stand now is no performance at all of any kind related to Kiss, or the original band does a song or two in or out of makeup. And we all no as of now that ain’t happening. Still time for things to change but very reliable sources telling me that’s the HOF position as of now. Also each of the four original members get 3 minutes each for their speeches during the induction and only those inducted are at the podium for those speeches.

I don’t think Gene and Paul are at fault here. Ace and Peter are not members of KISS. Why would they want to play with them? Look at the body of work since they have been out of KISS? Whose is better? They were better in the 80’s without them, and they are better without them now. They,Ace and Peter, made their own bed, let them sleep in it.
Peter Criss should go up first and when he starts his speech…he should sing BETH and walk away. It will bring the house down. Enough said!
That’s ok, Gene and Paul. I am REALLY looking forward to seeing Daryl Hall & John Oates!!
Like many of you, I have been a lifelong KISS fan. I have spent lots of money on KISS memorabilia. I knew that Gene and Paul’s egos were out of control, but this is ridiculous. It would be nice if they actually paid attention to what their fans are saying to them, just this once.
It would be great if Ace and Peter thanked everybody then tell the egomaniacs to F@#$ OFF. Gene probably would hear because he would too busy trying to squeeze coins till the presidents squeal.
All the former members of KISS should be there and RRHOF should mention ERic Carr!!!
