So right about now back in about 1990 - I have a really cool story…Phone rings, it’s about 10 o’clock in the morning, and I pick it up; the unmistakable voice…“Phil… this is Gene here”Kind of in disbelief and not knowing to what I owed the pleasure, but indeed, it was Gene Simmons calling me. He told me that KISS were playing at Long Beach Arena that night and that he wanted me to come down and guest on bass! “We will be playing “Cold Gin” - do you know it?”Not exactly sure why, but it was a beautiful invitation and so I graciously accepted. That night, I went down to Long Beach Arena and watched the show and sure enough went up on stage and played “Cold Gin” with the band. I guess it wasn’t until way after that that I realized how cool this really was, seeing that’s not something that KISS did very often… inviting other people up to guest during a show. To this day I feel greatly honored. I have a very special place for the time that I spend, not just with Gene and Paul, who have always been friendly and gracious, but also those friends that I have made with them… Eric Singer, Bruce Kulick, Eric Carr (who Paul and I used to jam with in New York - may he Rest in Peace) and my pal Tommy Thayer. This is I think the only photograph I know of that moment. Back then not everyone had an iPhone, and short of walking around, looking like you just raided a camera store, pictures of special moments were not as well documented. I’m not even sure who took this photograph, but thank you whoever did!… now I’m gonna go find a bottle … and some ice cubes!#kiss#genesimmons #coldgin ... See MoreSee Less
