KISS AT THE STUDIO 54 STAGE, NEW YORK (1982)

On January 28, 1982 KISS performed at Studio 54 Soundworks Soundstage in New York for the live broadcast for the Sanremo Festival. "I" in playback. It was directed by Michael Bernhaut, produced by Bill Aucoin.

It was a satellite appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy where Kiss were awarded the Golden Telegatto as Band of the Year. KISS have appeared as a trio since Ace went AWOL and the standard excuse that Ace was sick.

I would love a better quality of this one if anyone have it.

Originally the band was to participate in the Ariston theater in Sanremo, Italy, the contracts had already been signed, the band however put a clause, with which they had to perform with their own set design and instruments. But it turned out to be too expensive for all three evenings. So there was an agreement then for one evening, but just with flashbombs and a smoke machine, but that agreement also fell apart. But since the contacts were now signed and the money collected, they opted for a satellite connection at about 11pm Italian time (5pm in New York) instead and every one was "happy".

INTERVIEW WITH TREY AZAGTHOTH OF MORBID ANGEL (1998)

Interview with Trey Azagthoth for WHAT'S METAL RADIOSHOW. 
Conducted by Markus Morrison at Hyde Park, Osnabrück, Germany.

Touring "Formulas fatal to the flesh", Trey couldn't escape our questions. While he was not so much interested in giving detailed answers to some of the historic aspects we were interested in, he lays out the concept for his spiritual view of the world. Transcend the mundane with us to learn about the living continuum.
