Extra NOTES :
The
"Here We Go Again" was never for sale publicly, only a small
amount of discs were made as promo copies.
When
Gene Simmons heard the CD "Here We Go Again", he really liked the song
"Pride".
He ended up buying the song from Matt McCormack, and flying down to Austin to record
it at the
Slaughterhouse Studio,
May 2003.
Gene Simmons took Matt's lead vocals off, and putting his lead
vocal on the track.
Gene Simmons wrote a new verse changed some lyrics and chorus
lines,, and ultimately did his version of the song. During these
sessions Gene Simmons and
Matt McCormack
worked on another song named “Lost In Time”, which can sound can
be best described as E.L.O. being fronted by Robin Zander of
Cheap Trick and Bob Mayo on the keyboards..
In 2006 "Pride" was mentioned to be featured on the
Gene Simmons box set
"Monster (100 unreleased songs)".
According to Matt "It was a pleasure working with Gene. The actual physical track of the song (drums, bass, guitar, etc) belongs to
Gene Simmons."
That means that the version of "Pride" on the 2002
album "Here We Go Again" is the song and actual music track that will be on
Gene's upcoming release.
Matt : "Gene and I also worked on a couple of songs and ideas...hopefully they will see the light of
day. I have the version of "Pride" with Gene Simmons on
lead vocals...
I am under contract with Gene....and it cannot be heard until its proper release.
On July 25, 2017 "Pride" finally got its official release when
Matt McCormack's collaboration with Gene Simmons' is
released as an
iTunes
digital single.
August 11, 2017 "Pride" appeared on Matt McCormack's full album
"Life In Stereo".
Gene Simmons version of "Pride" ended up on "The
Vault"
boxset (see
disk 7 track 06).
