New York Grooveを演奏していたはずなのですが、その動画が見つからず Youth Gone Wildを貼ってあります。
実は最近まで気がついていなかったのですが、ドラムがKISSファンにはおなじみの Anton Figです。 そして、ベースはNeil Jason。 Neil Jasonと言われてもピンとくる方はそんなにいないと思います。 自分もそうでしたが、なにか聞き覚えがある名前だと思って調べたら、 Geneのソロアルバムに参加していた人でした。
MOST FAMOUS DUTCH SINGER MARCO BORSATO CHANGES INTO GENE SIMMONS
Below are quotes of an article that was placed into “Veronica Magazine”, a Dutch television magazine. It features an article with the subject ”Heroes”, in which famous Dutch people can translate into one of their Heroes. The artwork is sold for the benefit of the KIKA (Children Cancer free)-foundation. Below I translated some quotes of the Marco Borsato-interview, in which he explains his choice for “Gene Simmons”.
Marco Borsato is a famous Dutch singer for over 20 years in Holland, where he scored no less than 16 #1 hits, equal to the Beatles! His hit Dromen zijn bedrog was placed on the nr. 1-position for 12 consecutive weeks and he owns the record of the artist with the most #1 hits in a row, 11 to be exact.
From the interview: “Gene Simmons doesn't impersonate at all who I am: he is so extravagant! As a kid I was fascinated by KISS and Gene Simmons in particular. It had nothing to do with being angry at my parents or something like that, I just thought KISS made good music.” I bought all the merchandise I could get as a kid. I thought they were so special and different from all the other bands. There was a kind of magic which fascinated me. How would they look in real life? Although I must confess I never went to a KISS-concert. It never happened for me, but I still want to do it sometime. Maybe In a few years, it’s not possible anymore. As far as I know, they will be visiting Holland next year, so that’s a good time to visit them!"
