AC/DC LS, Rolling Stones and KISS.

[PAEOAM]

1. MR&R states that Bon used to socialize a bit with the Stones. He went
to hang with Ron Wood in Paris while they were recording an album (Some
Girls?).

2. Malcolm visited Leon Wilkinson (bassist Lynyrd Skynyrd) while he was in
the hospital recovering from the plane crash. They took Leon out with them.

3. Gene Simmons was really big on AC/DC early on and went out of his way to
help them. He would ask to see Angus on occasion, and Angus would
respond -- shouldn't it be the other way around? AC/DC toured with them on
the Love Gun tour, which was the tour that was used as a composite for KISS
Alive II.

4. On one occasion, Gene wanted to see Angus after their set and before Kiss
went on. The meeting was a contrast in style and size. Gene standing
almost 7ft with all his gear on, and Angus with just his shorts and a towel
coming in at 5 ft.

5. The book stressed that Kiss was very good to them and that they were all
really good guys to AC/DC. This is surprising to me. The bands are worlds
apart in every aspect.

I don't think KISS and AC/DC are worlds apart at all. Their musical
themes and styles are pretty close. AC/DC is simply better written and
better executed rock and roll.

I'd say that KISS is the closest contemporary to AC/DC out there (i.e.
most similar band from the same era and genre, not knock-off bands
like Jackyl, or next generation bands like Airbourne).

I knew a kid in high school who thought that songs by Accept, Nazareth
and AC/DC were all done by the same band (AC/DC). Unless you're a fan,
it's easy to get bands that play similar styles of music confused I
suppose.

One of my bandmates in high school swore that The Rolling Stones did
the song Brown Eyed Girl. When I told him it was Van Morrison, he said
I was insane because The Doors would never do that song.

First few times I heard Brown Eyed Girl, I thought it was Mick Jagger singing.

It does sound a lot like him. I think I first heard it when I was
maybe 9 or 10 and my told me it was this guy called Van Morrison.
