The first mistake was hiring Bruce Fairbairn to produce. This is the guy who screwed up Aerosmith, for christsakes. These guys know what KISS is all about and should have been given the job. You'll have to trust me on this one, Joe. The Collector Craze - Well, now we're back to that.
Gene needs to get a grip and quit selling out the band to the highest bidder.
This constant whoring around with marketing ruined the band in the late seventies and will be its downfall once again. It WILL happen. Again, Joe, take this old-timer's word for it. I watched the group crumble in the late seventies and history IS repeating itself. But, instead of taking 7 years it's taken only 3 this time.
