MOTORHEAD’S SECOND ANNUAL MOTORBOAT TO SET SAIL IN SEPTEMBER WITH SLAYER, ANTHRAX, EXODUS, AND OTHERS

Motorhead400 Ahoy Matey, Motorhead’s Motorboat will be hitting the high seas once again from September 28th through Oct. 2nd.

This year’s cruise takes place aboard the Norwegian Sky, departing Port Miami with stops in Nassau and the Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. Joining Motorhead onboard will be Slayer, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Hatebreed, Exodus, Crobot, Kyng, Fireball Ministry and Huntress. In addition, several of the entertainers will be pulling double duty, as Motorhead’s Phil Campbell will head up his All-Starr Band and Anthrax’s Scott Ian is bringing along his band Motor Sister for the cruise, as well. Plus, guitarist Gary Holt will continue his balancing act, playing with both Slayer and Exodus.

Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister says, “And so the Motorboat sets sail one more time — better get your tickets now or be left sobbing on the dock! Oh, and we promise not to run out of beer this time!”

Slayer’s Kerry King adds, “Slayer is crashing the Motorboat party!! I personally will be keeping the bar in business. Hell will be coming with us. Light it up!!!”

Staterooms for the Motorhead Motorboat Cruise go on sale Wednesday, March 25th at 2PM ET motorheadcruise.com

In addition to dozens of live shows around the clock, Motörhead’s Motörboat will keep it crazy with theme nights where flying your freak flag is not looked down upon but paraded and appreciated. Weird and wonderful poolside and beach events and activities will keep the motor going, and artist Q&A sessions plus meet & greets will get you up close and personal with your favorite artists on board. All this is punctuated with 24-hour access to the food, bars and fellow Motorboaters who are up all night with music demons to fight.

KISS’ PAUL STANLEY DISCUSSES ACE AND PETER, THEIR AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND THE DAY HE WILL NO LONGER BE IN THE BAND

paulstanley400 News.com.au has a feature article on KISS’ Paul Stanley. Select quotes from the story appear below.

Discussing the day when there will be a version of KISS without him:

“I look forward to a day when I’ll see Kiss play without me. Don’t want to do it next week, haven’t pencilled anything in, but it would be the culmination of what we’ve built and a consistent progression…The people who said it had to be all the original members to be Kiss are already 50 per cent wrong. Do I cast a big shadow? Sure. But am I crazy enough to think I’m the only person who can do this? That would be ridiculous. Do you go to a Yankees ballgame and hold up a sign “Where’s Babe Ruth?’ The team continues because the ideal is met. The standard is met….There’s no need to call it anything except Kiss. The idea that every time we change members we’re going to be Kiss 2.0, Kiss 2.1 is ridiculous. It’s Kiss. Kiss is a philosophy and a way of presenting music and presenting ourselves.”

On refusing to perform with original band members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss when KISS was inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame:

“I enjoyed the Hall Of Fame in a twisted way. It was a terrific night but there was no way I was going to play with them. Frankly, I have too much pride in what I do than to create a moment of nostalgia for someone else. To get on stage with Ace and Peter was an interesting, surreal moment but nothing I wanted to prolong. It’s like if you ever went back to an old girlfriend because you doubted your choice to leave, it only takes five minutes before you want to get back in your car and leave. Someone asked me before the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame ‘Couldn’t you just play with the original line-up again for one night?’ And I said ‘How about spending a night with your ex wife? What’s the point?’”

Talking about how he never read Ace or Peter’s books:

“On tour some people showed me a few pages. People will think I keep taking potshots, but I keep getting asked about this and I give honest answers. In Ace’s case, how can somebody who can barely remember what happened last week write a book? I’m not talking about today, hopefully according to Ace he’s clean and sober. But there were certainly decades that he was anything but. When you have to call your friends to tell you what happened is that really an autobiography? Or creative fiction. No, that was pointless. I think Peter’s book began with him in an earthquake where the ground opened up and he had a gun in his mouth. Well, I know where he was living. The ground didn’t open up. You gotta consider the source. A book can be a great opportunity to have an alibi or an excuse. If you choose to be a victim then you will never accomplish anything you’re capable of because your defeats and your lack of success will always be due to somebody else.”

TWISTED SISTER FRONTMAN DEE SNIDER SAYS KISS ARE INSULTING FANS WITH REPLACEMENT MEMBERS

deesnider400 Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider think KISS are making a terrible mistake by presenting new members in the classic makeup worn by founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Particularly, Tommy Thayer, who took over for Frehley in in 2002.

“I don’t see how people could accept this,” Snider recently told Eddie Trunk. “Tommy Thayer? I’m sorry. It’s insulting. Not only did he play with a tribute band of KISS, he’s imitating Ace in his entire act!”

Thayer worked as a co-writer on KISS’ 1989 release Hot in the Shade and played guitar on 1998′s Psycho Circus, but didn’t officially join the band until the period just before KISS Symphony: Alive IV in 2003.

Thayer has since been part of two albums, 2009′s Sonic Boom and 2012′s Monster, which also include new member Eric Singer, who took over for late drummer Eric Carr.

Singer originally performed without makeup, before Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley reunited with Criss and Frehley in 1996. Singer then began wearing Criss’ makeup when he returned in 2001; a year later, Thayer started dressing as Frehley.

Snider said it’s an insult. “My theory is, they forgave KISS for I Was Made for Loving You, and anything is acceptable after that,” he said. “It was a disco song, people! It’s not okay! It was never okay, and they’re playing it live now. Unbelievable. They play I Was Made for Loving You, a fricking disco song!”

The worst of it, added Snider, is when KISS perform Shock Me, a song associated with Frehley, complete with Thayer mimicking all of Ace’s old moves. “Oh, my God — that’s disgraceful,” he said. “When KISS replaced Ace and Peter, and they brought in guys [Carr and Vinnie Vincent] who had their own makeup and their own thing, that was acceptable. That was awesome. They were their own characters.”

THE CIRCLE, FEATURING SAMMY HAGAR, MICHAEL ANTHONY, JASON BONHAM AND VIC JOHNSON, TO RELEASE A LIVE ALBUM ON MAY 19TH

2014 Classic Rock Awards Launch Party The Circle, a new supergroup featuring singer Sammy Hagar, bassist/vocalist Michael Anthony along with drummer Jason Bonham and guitarist Vic Johnson, have confirmed the release of a live album called At Your Service.

It will be available on May 19th in physical and digital formats, after being recorded during a concert last year.

The live recording features a selection of tracks from all three musicians’ careers. Those who preorder the album on iTunes will receive an instant download of Poundcake

Hagar last year talked up the benefits of being part of a live-only band, saying: “The Circle is so satisfying that I don’t even see a reason to make a record. We have so many great hits that we can choose from our catalog – to make a record would just be kind of a waste of time.”

He hasn’t given up on making a third album with Chickenfoot, featuring Joe Satriani and Chad Smith alongside himself and Anthony. But he recently said, “It’s just too much work right now. Everybody’s got so much to do.”

At Your Service track list:

1. There’s Only One Way To Rock
2. Rock Candy
3. Good Times Bad Times
4. Poundcake
5. I Can’t Drive 55
6. Mikey Bass Solo
7. When It’s Love
8. Little White Lie
9. When The Levee Breaks
10. Jason Drum Solo/Moby Dick
11. Why Can’t This Be Love
12. Finish What Ya Started
13. Heavy Metal
14. Vic Guitar Solo
15. Best of Both Worlds
16. Right Now
17. Rock And Roll
18. Dreams
