Taint Week: Day 5
|
'I Fulfill I' is the hidden track at the end of 'Mass Appeal Sadness'. We originally recorded it for the Taint/Black Eye Riot split album, released around 2000. It was limited and almost restricted to the U.K, so we thought it deserved another chance to get out to more folk. We still play it live too, and it's a thirteen minute rollercoaster - a 'glass box of emotion' if you will.
The CD is in stores now but you can grab a preview and learn more about the band

KISS N' Roses
|
Frehley said he is still putting the finishing touches on "Pain in the Neck", including some scheduled six-string contributions from VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash.
Though most of the tunes were written in the past several years, Frehley also looked to his own past for guidance. "I've been listening to my first solo album with KISS, because everybody says that's their favorite record. I was trying to figure out what made it so special, so I'm trying to incorporate a lot of what that record had for this new CD," he said.
