Gene Simmons interview 1992

Part I  – Fra ‘Kiss Army Norway Magazine’ #3 – 1996.

This is the ‘blast from the past pages’ where we take a look at things that have happen in the past. We would like to open this spot with a interview that was done for one of the biggest radio station in Norway, NRK P2. The interview was done at Lip Cafe, when Kiss visited Oslo the 11th of June 1992 on their promotion tour for Revenge. The interviews was sent on the radio the same mouth, but the Gene Simmons interview was mighty edited. As I were there together with Steinar Fjeld from NRK, I were lucky enough to take a part in a separate interview with Gene and Paul. Exclusively for the Kiss Army Norway members will I here give you for the very first time the hole unedited interview with Gene I hope you enjoy it!!

After shaking hands….This was how we started the interview with small talk…

Steinar Fjeld: As you see have I brought a sample of a fan.
Gene: Yeah…He’s Crazy…. Continue reading →

From: ‘Kiss Army Norway Magazine’ #3 – 1996.

On Monday the 12th of February was Kiss Army Norway treated to a phone call from Vinnie Vincent himself. He called us to tell a little about the past with Kiss and about the future plans for Vinnie Vincent. At 6.15 p.m. (CET) did the phone ring.

An “interview” with Fritz Postlethwaite

Fritz PostlethwaitePer Ivar Stubberud posted these e-mails in june 2005 in the Kiss Army Norway forums. He had seen Fritz post in Anton Figs forums and thought; “why not just send a e-mail and see if he is willing to answer some questions. So here you have the posts collected. Really cool stuff for us fans of “vintage-kisstory”.

Fritz. I happened to spot you at Anton Fig`s message board. I`m a kiss-crazy from Norway and since you`ve been an important part of kisstory I just could`nt stop myself from writing. It must have been an amasing journey while working for them. I love the stories that the crew has shared with the fans, and you know what, those are the most important ones. Paul and Gene has a way of twisting those old stories in a way that the credit often goes their way, you may have scratched your head once or twice over it yourself…..
I can only say that I believe things more from a crew-point of view than any other in the kiss-camp, thank you. I wish you guys could have written a book `bout that the life as roadies, crewmembers, managers. To read about the details, big challenges and responsibilities are truly a goldmine for many. I`m a tour manager myself and I love my work, you would kill for getting the show on stage. (www.smallbang.net)
