The new issue of Kiss Kollector magazine (web site), which will be out
right after the weekend, includes an interview with Rafael Moreira,
the lead guitarist in Paul Stanley's solo band. The Brazilian musician
- who has played/toured with the likes of PINK (during a co-headlining
tour with KISS fan LENNY KRAVITZ) and CHRISTINA AGUILERA - informed
Kiss Kollector that KISS was one of the reasons why he started playing
guitar in the first place. When asked how Paul Stanley got the "Rock
Star" house band to tour as his band, Rafael replied, "It happens just
like that he saw us playing on the TV show and his manager contacted
us. Next thing you know we're on the road with Paul Stanley!"
Check out the entire interview with Rafael, who has his own CD out
("Acid Guitar"), in issue 58 of Kiss Kollector magazine. Issue 59 of
the magazine will include an interview with Paul's other guitarist,
Jim McGorman. He'll be talking about the U.S. leg of Paul's solo tour
since Jim won't be able to join Paul and the band on the Australian
leg of the tour because he's got a commitment to Avril Lavigne's
upcoming tour.
