PAUL STANLEY Was ‘Devastated’ When GENE SIMMONS Got To Sing ‘God Of Thunder’ On ‘Destroyer’
In a major interview discussing KISS‘s classic “Destroyer” album, Paul Stanley admitted that he had a really hard time dealing with producer Bob Ezrin‘s decision to give the Stanley-penned classic song “God Of Thunder” to Gene Simmons to sing. “Let’s put it mildly,” Stanley says in the new issue of Rock Candy magazine. “It was crushing and devastating.

That’s for Gene.’ I was just devastated. The idea of a song so quickly being passed off from me to someone else… It was difficult, and it remain...

Eddie Van Halen‘s ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli discussed her new book, “Enough Already: Learning To Love The Way I Am Today”, during a recent appearance on QFM96‘s “Torg & Elliott” radio show.

And Ed was the first person to look at the home I live in now to make sure that we both felt that it was close enough to his house t...
AMORPHIS Drops Music Video For New Single ‘On The Dark Waters’

The official music video for the LP’s latest single, “On The Dark Waters”, directed by Pekka Hara, can be seen below. Lyricist Pekka Kainulainen comments: “I got the idea to reverse the direction of the Tuonela stream — Tuonela is the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology. So I started writing from the moment of death… And death was not the end, but the beginning.” In the past, mythology and legend took the role of today’s pop culture: Stories and a set of values uniting us by giving us a voice and a tapestry on which we can find each other and identify with something. By weaving the tales...
