What Iggy Pop and Rudy Sarzo taught me about fashion is that fashion is superfluous when one is as fit as a fiddle.

Mike

I think its possible that Michael Schenker is a little frustrated with the level of fame that the Scorpions achieved. And in some ways, rightfully so.  Yes, Ulrich Roth, Matthias Jabs, and Paul Raymond are/were all fantastic guitarists in their own ways. But MS stood apart from the entire pack of Metal/Hard Rock players from then and now. Hes still more fluid, more energetic, more melodic, more rhythmic, more intense, more powerful than most. Yes the others have their strengths and magic as well. Its just that Michaels magic went unnoticed compared to the Scorpions (Michaels brothers band) and the remaining metal/ hard rock field.  I dont agree with Michael when he says that the Scorpions career was largely based off of what he was doing.

Furthermore, the Catalyst never even came close to filling beyond 25% of its capacity. During the show, I caught a guitar pick, a drum stick, and a paper airplane setlist throw...

Ace

Tears for days. Everyday Kiss records all day ( Deuce playing rn). Nighttime is YouTube Ace videos. Man this hurts. I will write a much more significant piece once I collect myself. But in the meantime, when everyone talks about the Tom Snyder interview they always talk about how miffed or uncomfortable Gene and Paul were.  Or they talk about Aces “plumber” joke (which was hilarious). Or Aces laugh. Or Aces buzz. Or Peters joy at Aces disrupting the Gene/Paul typical all biz vibe.  But the thing that is really haunting or foreshadowing for me from that interview was Pauls words about Ace always falling down.
