LA Rockers ROCK SUGAR did a great mash-up of "Detroit Rock City" with
"Straight Up" (Paula Abdul) as "Straight to Rock
City" on their new album "Reimaginator".
On their brand new disc Rock Sugar is performing “re-imaginings” of the world’s favorite songs in ways that the world has never even dreamed
of, for example METALLICA's "Enter Sandman" with
JOURNEY's "Don't STop Believing, "MÖTLEY CRÜE's "Kickstart My Heart"
with QUEEN's "We Will Rock You"; AC/DC's "You Shook
Me All Night Long" with MADONNA's "Like A Prayer";
DEF LEPPARD's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with JOAN JETT's
"I Love Rock 'n Roll".

and interesting Eric Singer Q&A @ KissFaq From: Kiss

Tim McPhate recently got a chance to have interview with Eric
Singer for KissFaq.com.
According to Tim, at times it feels like more of a conversation than an interview.
IMO, If you're a regular visitor of Kiss
Related Recordings, take some time out, (let's say half an
hour) to read this very interesting conversation, simply because
the topics besides KISS include : Olivia Newton John, Lita Ford,
Black Sabbath, Cinderella, Badlands, Gary Moore, Queen,

February 4 :
BALANCE CD reissue - feat. Paul Stanley backing vocals From:Rock
Candy Records
/ Kiss
Related Recordings
AMERICAN EAST Coasters, Balance were a mini super-group of sorts. Pride of place was taken by vocalist Peppy Castro a man whose CV boasted commercially successful stints with late sixties psych legends the Blues Magoos, pop rockers Barnaby Bye and an obscure but influential hard rock band called Wiggy Bits. Guitarist Bob Kulick had built a solid reputation as a super-session player contributing to diametrically opposed talent as Diana Ross and Kiss. Third man on board was yet another session wunderkind; that’s keyboard wizard Doug
Katsaros.
Enlisting the help of NYC powerhouse managers Leber/Krebs and signing to the impressive Portrait label, a division of Columbia Records, Balance looked set to bulldoze their way into the hearts and minds of music fans coast to coast. Indeed, for a few exciting weeks the project looked set to explode when the track ‘Breaking Away’ caught fire at radio, reaching the dizzy heights of #22 on the US chart. Sadly, however, the momentum quickly dissolved leaving the band unable to capitalize on their good fortune.
24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 4,000 word essay about the making of the album and a new interview and full involvement from the band. Additional photos and memorabilia spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet.
Track Listing: 1. (Looking For The) Magic 2. I’m Through Loving You 3. Breaking Away 4. No Getting Around My Love 5. Fly Through The Night 6. American Dream 7. Haunting 8. Falling In Love
(featuring
Paul Stanley - uncredited background vocals) 9. Hot Summer Nights 10. It’s So Strange
February 4 : Eric
Carr co-written NEW YORK demo online stream From: Kiss
Related Recordings
/ demolishmag.wordpress.com
After KISS "Animalize" tour in 1985 Eric Carr started branching out into different projects, like looking for other bands to manage and produce. "New York" was one of the bands he had any involvement with. "New York", featuring 'J' (vocals) Johny 'G' Lover (guitars), Freddie Foster (bass) and Rikk Hanz (drums), released one independent EP "Carry The Torch" in 1985 (Tinker\Grand Slamm Records).
After setting the band up in a friends studio in upstate New York (for a quick
pre-production - ca. 1986 -1987), Eric Carr went up there for a day and a half to give the band some advice. At the same time he wrote a song together with the band called "Electric Thunder".
Now you can hear "Electric Thunder", which streams @ demolishmag.wordpress.com. (scroll down until a little over half the page)
