That Time Punky Meadows Insulted Gene Simmons (KISS/ANGEL)

Ойын-сауық

In this clip, Punky Meadows explains how he auditioned for KISS in 1982. He gets offered the gig, but he tells Gene he wants to confer with bandmate Greg Giuffria first. This infuriates Gene Simmons and the deal falls apart!

    Punky probably dodged a bullet there...

    I think Punky would have been a great adition to Kiss. With Meadows in the band, he wouldn't have been treated as a mere musician since he wrote all the songs in Angel, a band who also had a very powerful stage presence to match. In that context, Eric Carr might have been treated better as well.

    Not sure if he would have fit in with all the 80’s shredders....but you make great points. Probably would have been a better fit if Ace left in the 70’s Vs. the 80’s

    Insult? Sounds like Punky was doing a professional courtesy that Gene and Paul would have probably expected if a guitarist was thinking of leaving them. Too me, Gene and Paul were acting like unprofessional Divas having a hissy fit, which ended up costing them a real quality guitarist that could have made their post-Ace recordings sound so much better. As well, Punky probably would have contributed songs that would have made post-Ace Kiss recordings so much better. Except for Mark St. Jean, the other guitarists were never able to contribute guitar and song-writing in any degree to what Ace contributed to KISS

    Mark St. John didn't write at all for "Animalize." No writing credits. The post-Ace guitarist who contributed the most writing was Vinnie Vincent. But he had other problems, of course.

    Bruce Kulick is an amazing guitarist and song writer, he has some of the greatest solos of Kiss's history along with Ace. Both great players on their own right and style. Love them both.
